I know it's completely stupid. That's why I do it. xD

Once the player attains the National Pokédex, every day in a particular location, a "swarm of Pokémon"

I read that one so many times just missed this. As far as the stones go, Bulbapedia hasn't always had all locations listed and such, so eh. Well, I suppose the earliest they are even needed is after reaching the Poke-Athlons though.

Well, thanks.

I think if you trade the Yellow Pikachu to Gold or Silver it'll be holding a Light Ball, so I was wondering if its Sp. Attack would be higher than a normal Pikachu. Thanks!

Well, Yellow was out as a standalone game before Gold and Silver were ever out among the masses, so I doubt they'd rig the IVs on it just to have it function better in a future game that was still in development at the time of its release.

Of course, that's all my opinion. Obviously couldn't go and hit the bull's eye as to what the developers had in mind with that Pokemon.

Well, it sounds as if they went as far as to rig the catch rate on it to be unique compared to every other Pokémon so it would have the Light Ball in the first place, as if it had the same catch rate as RB Pikachu, it would have the same item. So they probably knew they had some sort of plan for it.

Hey everyone! Sorry if this is a no brainer. I dug through the wiki and couldn't find an answer, so here I am. Sorry if this is the wrong section!

So here's the setup.

I have two pikachu. Both with identical IV's, both level 1. Pikachu A, I use a thunderstone on, then raise to level 50. Pikachu B, I raise to level 50, then use a thunderstone. Assuming both Pokemon got the same EV's, would their stats be identical? Or would pikachu A have the stat advantage because he was evolved sooner?


Thanks for the help!

No, they'll end up with the same stats regardless of when they evolved.

If I traded Pokemon from my Ruby cart to my FireRed cart, can I trade them back again to the Ruby cart? I want to change their names before I transfer them permanently to SoulSilver and then to Black...

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to.

Of course you can Pal Park to SoulSilver from FireRed just as easily as Ruby, so there isn't really a reason to trade it back after changing the nickname.

assuming you don't wipe your save on Ruby and start a new game, yes, you can freely trade between gen 3 games. The only thing that is permanent is when you Transfer pokemon between gens.

EDIT: damn, NINJA'D x|

i think she was implying not that she would have to trade it back to Ruby only to transfer the pokemon but that in order to change the names could she still trade back to Ruby from F/R to do it before she decided on transferring forward.

or i may just be sleep deprived, if this is the case, carry on.
