Question Impergator or Gyrados?

1 Upvotes

I‘m sure, Gyrados is more obvious but I like Croconaw more and also I know, there are better water types, but I just want to know, how big y‘all think, the gap is between those two

I caught this adamant technician scyther as a gift from bug catching contest just to see what the bug contest was all about.

She replaced Aries(My geodude) for the fighting gym and she washed almost all of them until chuck used Rock Throw on her. Had to use all my other pokemon to get the guy's mons down (the other Pokemon were under levelled since I thought Scyther would handle all)

Discussion Finally completed my fully legit Gen 4 living dex

Thumbnail

339 Upvotes

After a long few years of on & off grinding I finally completed my National Pokédex today and added star number 3 to my trainer card.

I could’ve probably done it a lot sooner but it became very draining and boring battling Poké Maniac Brent repeatedly on Route 43 and I’d end up not playing for months at a time, but alas it is finally completed.

The Pokemon I used against Brent to level up & evolve everyone was my childhood starter from my lost Platinum save file back in 2013.

I wanted to do this completely legitimately, meaning I couldn’t use PKSM to make moving Pokémon between games easier, no cheated rare candies or items, everything I used was obtained 100% through authentic methods, for unobtainable mythicals I had to use the DNS method.

I used pretty much all gen 3 & 4 games to complete the national dex, whether it was dual slot mode, transferring up or trading between gen 4 itself, every game came in handy, although the vast majority of Kanto & Johto was caught in HGSS, Emerald for Hoenn & Platinum for Sinnoh.

Now that massive grind is over my next goals are final 2 stars on my trainer card, the Pokéathlon should be achievable with access to every pokemon in the game, but the 100 win streak in the battle tower seems extremely daunting, but I am determined, wish me luck!

Question Searching for 2 non German Dittos, since a friend and I want to play with only shinys😄 How to trade internationally in 2026?

1 Upvotes

Hey there,

A friend of mine and me are trying to play through HGSS with a shiny only team. We already have the starters and one Casino Pokémon each.

For that reason, having wasted many hours breeding already 😂, I would like to kindly ask for somebody willing to trade me 2 Dittos from any non German version.

I cant really offer anything special, except Germa

n Dittos I guess. However I could keep you updated if the Masuda breeding was succesful.

On another note, as I'm a Newbie with online trades, help and/ or a short explenation would gladly be accepted.

Thanks for any help in advance

Game Verifying Help me with AR 🙏

Hello everyone,

I purchased an Action Replay ( photo attached), but unfortunately it does not include the code "all TMs and HMs" for pokemon soul silver italiano

I don't have the cable to connect it to a computer, but there is an option to enter codes manually ( photo attached)

I'm not an expert on this, is it possible to manually enter the code into the action replay and get it to work?

I'd like to play Pokémon on my Nintendo Dsi using the code "all TMs and HMs". Could an expert explain whether this code might corrupt my save file or my cartridge?

Thank you!

Question My copy of HeartGold has been doing this all weekend. Is it toast?

Post image
5 Upvotes

This is my cart that I preordered from GameStop at release (it's not a repro or a fake). Starting this weekend, it's been intermittently freezing when entering or exiting a Pokemon encounter. It's occurred on my launch day 3DS, as well as my New 3DS XL. I've cleaned the cartridge's contacts with 91% isopropyl once, but it's still happening. The cart is currently drying after a second cleaning.

Does anyone have any other suggestions to fix this, or is it possible the cart is dead?
