Kris. Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 The only major differance between heartgold and soulsilver is in heartgold you get access to Ho-oh first, and in soul silver you get access to lugia first. I think £30 is likely the cheapest you will see it for a while mate. Wandering Kanto, not gonna do any gyms for a while, just gonna explore. Training up a munchlax and dratini. Wanting to use new pokemon as i kinda got bored of the squad I recommend a Lapras to replace your Blastoise then. Although I'm not sure if you can catch one in the game, besides one which appears in Union Cave every Friday. Well, 30 hours and 25 mins played, and that's me just beaten the 8th gym. Lapras' Ice Beam, and Ampharos dealt with the gym trainers and leader fairly easily. Ampharos - Level 41 Lapras - Level 40 Dragonair - Level 39 Kadabra - Level 38 Pidgeot - Level 37 Typhlosion - Level 37 Got my Master Ball from Elm, now I'm off to catch Lugia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Fucking hell. Fell asleep after getting myself back to the same stage as I was when I accidentally turned the game off and hadn't saved AGAIN. You have no idea how annoying this is. Ouch. How come you go so long without saving though? I'm feart I'll do something like that, so I save before/after every trainer, or if I catch a rare pokemon, or one of my own levels up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Got my Master Ball from Elm, now I'm off to catch Lugia. Will you be catching Lugia with the Master Ball? I don't understand why people do that. It's not as if it's going to run away. Then again, there isn't anything that you really need to catch with it. I just like having it in my bag. Opened my save game to find myself at the top of Bell Tower (didn't it used to be called Tin Tower?) I can't remember getting up there, but I'll accept this. Only downside is that Ho-oh isn't actually there yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Started today, going to take down the 3rd gym tomorrow! Team is: Tentacool Flaafy Pidgy Bellsprout All lvl 17. I shall catch Sodowoodo and Koffing to complete the set. Not as strong as some of the teams on here but more of a challange. Won the 3rd badge. Did some competitions so I can get the leaf stone in anticipation of needing it for Bellsprout. Fucked oof Pidgeotto for a Yanma. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) Ouch. How come you go so long without saving though? I'm feart I'll do something like that, so I save before/after every trainer, or if I catch a rare pokemon, or one of my own levels up. That would be far too sensible. I usually leave it plugged into the charger so I just save when I'm finished playing for a while. About half way back to it after going out this afternoon. Will you be catching Lugia with the Master Ball? I don't understand why people do that. It's not as if it's going to run away. Then again, there isn't anything that you really need to catch with it. I just like having it in my bag. Opened my save game to find myself at the top of Bell Tower (didn't it used to be called Tin Tower?) I can't remember getting up there, but I'll accept this. Only downside is that Ho-oh isn't actually there yet. Lugia is the one that it makes sense to go at with the Masterball. If you use the formula for catching Pokémon, it quickly becomes clear that even if you get it down to 1HP and Asleep, a level 70 Legendary (all with catch rates of 0.03) will be harder to obtain than a level 40 legendary (for example) in the same situation. For everything else, they're not going to run, and you should always have a good stock of Dusk and Ultra Balls. Anyway... In other news I have been away at the Pokewalker all day on Yellow Forest, and having captured nothing but dull Pikachus all day, I was just about to give up for now and send my Pokemon back. I sort of half-heartedly had a last look for a Pokemon and it was a rare one. Managed to catch it and transported it back and it's a Flying Pikachu! Now just to get a Surfing one. Also managed to get a Light Ball (which you can use to teach Pichus Volt-Tackle with breeding) and a couple of Miracle Seeds which will come in handy using the Dowsing Machine.

Ad Lib Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Pfft. Pokémon doesn't need formulae. It's all maths, I'm afraid. If you use the maths carefully you can't go wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 24:00 played. Still training them all to level 40. Only got Pupitar (10 levels), Dragonair (4 levels) and Growlithe (2 levels) to go. I may leave Pupitar until later though. Should hopefully have defeated Clair before I go to bed, which then I can battle Ho-oh, and take my first steps into Kanto. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris. Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Id get them to at least 50 mate, Especially your lapras, cause those 3 dragonites are b*****ds. I'm slowly getting there. They're all at 45/46 now, and I chucked Pidgeot for Lugia. The wee cut scene before you fight Lugia was superb I thought, with him bursting through the waterfall. Got Dragonair and Lapras both equipped with Ice Beam to deal with those Dragonites. I think if I get them all to at least level 48, I'll give it a go, I should get through the first few of the Elite 4 fairly comfortably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Managed to beat Clair at the first time of asking, simply thanks to Octillery and his Aurora Beam. Then to go get Ho-oh, which had about 6HP left, and I ran out of Ultra Balls (I stocked around 20), so I had to give in and use the Master Ball. Currently training my Pokémon up before heading up to Victory Road. Lv. 40 - Growlithe Lv. 41 - Dragonair Lv. 32 - Pupitar Lv. 40 - Meganium Lv. 41 - Octillery Lv. 42 - Ampharos Need to find a suitable place to train up Pupitar. As far as I can remember, there's a Pokémon Centre on the route I'm on, so I can train him up there. I still need a Pokémon that can learn Fly, so it's getting really irritating having to run everywhere, but when I get my Dragonite it will be worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
