Another grunt and some Wailmer are also blocking the route next to the cave, so I can't go there either.

I wandered around for a bit, but I still can't figure out what to do here. ._.

Once the Orbs have been stolen from the top of Mt. Pyre, go to Slateport City and see Team Aqua steal the submarine; after that, you can enter the hideout next to Lilycove. You may or may not also have to clear out the Magma Hideout in Mt. Chimney at some point around here.

Okay, how about going into the dock/port building in the City? I'm pretty sure something happened there in the games. I haven't played for a while, though...

No, haven't done that yet. xP

Ah, I see. Thanks. :]

Um, excuse the double post, but I went to Slateport City and I don't see Team Aqua anywhere...

Are you sure you've been right to the top of Mt. Pyre and gotten the Orb?

EDIT: This Walkthrough I have here says that you need to go to Mt. Chimney after you get through Mt. Pyre, and jump down the Jagged Pass, opening the Magma Hideout, which you then go through, battling people, doing a Strength puzzle, etc, before battling Maxie. After that, you go to the two guys blocking the cave, and, apparently, they give away Archie's location (Slateport City), where he is stealing the Submarine Explorer 1. After that, you go back to the Lilycove City cave and it should be open.

I went to the top of Mt. Pyre, but I didn't get any orb. I just found the Team Aqua leader and he left. He said that he got one orb while Team Magma got the other orb, I believe.

But I'll go to Mt. Chimney next then. xP

Yeah, I just remembered that that happens in R/S, not Emerald. ^^;

Just found out through Bulbapedia's List of in-game trades, about a special version of Pokemon Blue, which was only released in Japan to subscribers of CoroCoro magazine.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Blue_Version_%28Japanese%29

According to the page, pokemon normally only available through in-game trades can be found in the wild in this game version. However, I can't find a list of where those Pokemon would appear in that game (not that it should be any surprise, given how obscure it is.

Would anyone here happen to know where I can look up the locations of Mr. Mime, Jynx, Lickitung, and Farfetch'd in that particular game? I can't seem to find information about it on Bulbapedia or Serebii.net.

Try going to the Slateport Docks, Team Aqua steals something from there before you can get into their base. Also, have you been in the Magma base yet? If not, its located on Mt. Chimney, as you make your way to Lavaridge town.

I'll start- how many days of regular jobs, in Mystery Dungeon TDS, will it take after the Phione Dew before I can access Aegis Cave? I want to pace the days so that I don't spend too much time playing while beating Aegis Cave quickly.

Ok So after last yearr of playing pokemon stadium 2 with friends we decided to up grade onto game cube so I bought pokemon colosseum only to my dissapointment that the only way to battle against each other is to have someone with gba, gen 3 game and link cable. Unlike in stadium where you could just use the controllers and you got to pick from the list of 251 pokemon. So besides being thouroughly upset I saw about Pokemon xd gale of darkness is this the same way? having to have the gba and stuff? If so that stinks then also in the battle game on the wii like this as well or can you pick from a selection?

So does that mean the main page's SQSA thread is now strictly Gen V? if so, someone needs to edit it's name because that would make things redundant otherwise :X

On Gale of Darkness there is an option to battle your friends but only with preselected sets (the 2 pokemon are already paired together and can not be chosen separetly.) so if you battle your friend with kyogre and mew, it would always be that pair, the game wouldn't let you do kyogre and jirachi for example. but those are just example sets, it's been a long time since i've played it so the sets aren't off the top of my head anymore.

Though you can also choose by "difficulty" ie. lv5/lv50/lv100 and each "difficulty" has different sets of pokemon, lv5 having starters and route 1 stuff, and lv100 having legendaries.

hope this helped some :|

In HGSS how can I Sketch moves onto a Smeargle to breed with? In DPPt there's the Vs. Seeker double battles, but I'm not sure how to do it in HGSS due to there being no Vs. Seeker to rematch doubles people.

You can use the Pokégear to call Young Couple Tim & Sue of R13 on Friday afternoons or Twins Kay & Tia of R15 on Saturday nights in order to rematch them in double battles.

Or you could trade it to DPP to get the moves you want.

Twice a week? That's not good D: Oh well, thanks anyway, at least I know how to do it now. :)

I only have one DS and I don't feel like lumbering people with the task of helping me transfer all the time.
