The wild Pokemon , just like in FR/LG.

All the exp off wild pokemon? You're insane.

Oh, and the GTS is rigged. So many impossible trades.

I know, seriously. Nintendo needs to add some kind of feature to report bad trades so they can be taken off.

I mean, when I was out on the GTS searching for the other Kanto starters and Empoleon (since you can't look for Pokémon you haven't seen), there were plenty of offerers, but the majority of them wanted something ridiculous in return, like Shaymin, Darkrai, or, in one case, a Jirachi under level 9. Which I'm not sure whether or not is possible, since I don't know what level Jirachi was given out at.

See, I could understand asking for something like that in exchange for another event-exclusive Pokémon, but not for anything else, not even in-game Legendaries. I'm surprised I even managed to find fair trades for Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Empoleon.

How about a L100 Mew for a L9 and under Mew?

[Russ]

That definitely qualifies as strange. I wish people made reasonable offers. I mean, level 100 Mew for a Crobat. I can understand something like an Umbreon for a Crobat, but honestly, that's just ridiculous.

Oh well, looks like I'm taking a Golbat and Chansey for a loooong walk. Stupid happiness evolutions...

Oh yeah, those too, but sometimes the opposite came up. Like, somebody had one of the in-game Legendaries at a high level and wanted the same Legendary in return, only at a lower level. I don't know what the motivation is there, unless they're just trying to be nice.

Then someone has a Legendary they offer for the same Legendary in the same level group. I don't get the purpose in that, unless they're trying to increase their odds of winning in the Lucky Number Show. o.o

Maybe theirs had bad IVs/Nature/EV Spread/whatever, and they wanted to try again for a better one.

It was actually kinda funny training the Squirtle I got on the GTS this way; felt like I was actually playing FireRed.

Level 5, so it's not totally crazy.

I do agree that the GTS needs some sort of filtering system or something though...

I Master Balled Giratina on Platinum last night. Didn't want to, but my team has no status causing abilities, and I wasn't trying to break my stash of Balls. Team on Platinum:

Golduck L57
Graveler L45
Machoke L49
Torterra L45
Staraptor L49
Luxray L46

I don't have another DS to trade between this and my HG. If I try the GTS, there's no guarantee I will see/get to myself.

GC: You have SS, right? If so, you can borrow him in exchange for a SS exclusive.

Suuuure. You mean like... Groudon? Or something? Name it

All the exp off wild pokemon? You're insane.

Pft, that's how I used to do it. It's dedication

[Russ]

Suuuure. You mean like... Groudon? Or something? Name it

Actually, Groudon is useless to me until I get Kyogre (so I can get the Green Orb). So, how about something like Mawile? Or maybe Gulpin.

Since all I'm finding myself doing lately is checking the daily swarm (STILL NO RALTS SWARM AAAAAAAAAAARGH >:O) and Buena's Password, I downloaded the ROM for Pokémon ShinyGold, just for the heck of it.

It's actually kinda fun, but the difficulty got a little overhaul in some parts. Like, you have two Rivals instead of one. The other is named Carlos, who challenges you before you even leave New Bark Town with a level 5 Slowpoke that knows Tackle, Yawn, and Curse. RIGGED. It took forever to beat him. And when you encounter your typical Rival for the first time, his Pokémon's a level eight instead of five. Which wasn't that big a deal to me, since I always train to level 10 before the first Rival battle, but it was a welcome change of pace.

It's a hack of FireRed, but it's too bad the guy couldn't put in custom music of some kind. Any Johto tunes that were used in FireRed he put into the locations they came from in Johto, but he has to use Kanto themes for everything else, like Cherrygrove, battles, and at least one of the routes. And there's another little problem: When trainers see you, even if it's just a Bug Catcher or Youngster, it always plays the same encounter theme that's usually paired with Hikers. Then again, I think the game's technically not fully completed yet, so that's an excuse... But it's still fun, though.

[Russ]

TS, you have just tempted me to play Shiny Gold. Just for the heck of it. And because the Tin Tower music in it (which I heard on Youtube) is awesome. Ya, I might play it, once I manage to get finish the Pokedex in HG.

Oh, if you want, I can breed my Gardevoir I migrated from Emerald and send you the egg.

And on a final note, they should have made the game's art style look like this:

Theres an even better Gold/Silver remake which is called "Pokemon LiquidCrystal". It has all the johto music remixed to use the GBA speakers. It only has beta 2 but the creator stopped it due to HG/SS released.
