Thread: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

Actually, Arceus is being distributed through the Dream World until May 1st, if you want a legit one.

It was a downloadable mission for Shadows of Almia, and afterwards, you could transfer the Darkrai to a Gen IV game. So no, you can't get it anymore.

If you count all ways to obtain it then ExtremeSpeed would qualify. But yeah, it's quite odd.

From the first generation, everything but Mew can be caught without event
Second generation pokemon I believe you can get everything but Celebi
Generation 3 there's Deoxys
Generation 4 Darkrai, manaphy and Arceus via Dream World
Generation 5 Victini and Zorua, though you could get a zorua on GTS.

Hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of events were limited-time-only, so you won't be able to get them yourself even if you buy the old games. There are a grand total of 15 event-only Pokémon (Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Zorua, Zoroark, Keldeo, Meloetta, and Genesect). Of these 15:

• 3 are curently unreleased (Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect)
• 5 were available from events that have since expired (Deoxys, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Victini)
• 3 require you to obtain another event Pokémon first (Phione, Zorua, Zoroark)

That leaves four remaining event Pokémon that are currently available. Arceus is the easiest to obtain, as it requires only a Black or White gameand Wi-Fi access to obtain from the Dream World. Mew is significantly more difficult, requiring either Diamond or Pearl and the WiiWare game My Pokémon Ranch. Jirachi is even harder to obtain, requiring an English Colosseum Bonus Disc (but not Colosseum itself) and an English Ruby or Sapphire game. Celebi is by far the hardest event Pokémon to obtain, as it requires a Japanese Colosseum game, the Japanese Colosseum Bonus Disc (which unlike the English disc has limited uses, so good luck finding one that still works), and a Japanese GBA game.

Simply put, you can't get them all yourself, only those four (barring any future events), and of those only Arceus and possibly Mew are even remotely feasible. You'll have to trade for the rest.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this or knows the answer.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not really sure what you mean by un-register (are you talking about it being linked to your dream world account?) but you can delete your save file to make a new one, you'll just never be able to load your old one again, cuz ya know, you have to delete it in order to start over.

I mean that on the dream world account you can have two games registered, 1 black and 1 white. If I were to start a new game on black for example, would i be able to register that game file save to the dream world? I can't see any way of removing the activated game. Is it even possible or would I be stuck with a registered game I cant actually sync too?

From what I remember another person asking about this last year, that is your answer. Though [MENTION=43298]bluesun[/MENTION] or [MENTION=39435]Miyr[/MENTION] may know better.

Edit: [MENTION=8233]s|ush[/MENTION] found the post I was thinking of:

this please help me

I don't know what you're trying to ask for, but hopefully this will answer it.
Restarting a game will lock you out from your current PGL account and you'll need to make a new one. You'll still be able to access it but it will no longer be linked to a game so will be essentially useless.
Online tournaments you've registered for are part of PGL, so you'll be locked out of them too. Once you get a new GSID you can reregister though.
Official tournaments like the VGC shouldn't mind if you've restarted your White or not, so long as it's not got any hacks on it.

EDIT2: there is also this post that you might find helpful [MENTION=8233]s|ush[/MENTION]

Go to support.pokemon and open a question about it (the data you need to include is in one of the FAQs (I think it's called "my game file got accidentally erased" or something like that). Anyway, you submit that question and somebody in support deletes your GSID so you can use a new one. But, as I said, you basically start from scratch - just using the same account.

I don't mind this just that I can use the same Game Sync ID, Thank you :)

Just make sure that in your inquiry you include your pokemon.com username, DOB, and ..some other info that I can't remember right now :T

For more info on some relegated steps, see this post below:

Anyway, if you have already submitted the question and obtained a response, you have to update it. To do that, you go to the support center, click My Support History (you may be redirected to pokemon.com to log in and redirected again to support.pokemon), and click on the number for your question.

Now, I'm supposing that the question will be marked "Solution Suggested". It may not be, since they're asking for more info, in which case, there will probably be a comment button somewhere on the page, just scroll down and look for it. Comment, Update, or anything that looks like it. If you let 7 days pass (as I did <.< with another issue, though), it will be marked as Closed and you'll have to open another question.

Anyway, if it is marked as a solution, you can Decline the solution, and in the comments box give them the info they want. You could also accept it, I suppose, but I haven't had the chance to do that, so it might automatically close the question.

Hope that helps you.

EDIT: Going back to a still open question of my own, I see that your question will probably be marked as "needs more info". Just scroll down until you find a button there among "Actions". Maybe "Provide Additional Info" or something of the sort. Just look around. And don't forget that Google is God, and we can pray to Google for guidance - that's how I found the support.pokemon page and the GSID solution in the first place.

When EV training, if you do wild double battles and only defeat one Pokemon, then run away from the other, do you get the one pokemons EV's or the other pokemons as well?

I assumed only one, but as I've been training I've noticed the EV's get full without any investment into all the stats I want.

You only earn EVs for Pokemon that are defeated.

I asked this question back in Dec. but never got an answer:

ie. will Trash Cloak mother Burmy/Wormadam produce only more Trash Cloak Burmy? And if it does, is it only Wormadam who can influence the cloak or can a Burmy mother do the same?

i've heard a few different things on this (like Mothim fathers only hatching default Burmy) and want to make sure before i start taking up box space with these things.

[MENTION=34175]yourlilemogirl[/MENTION]

It should always be Plant Cloak to my knowledge. Burmy can change cloaks after certian battles, but when caught is always plant. Whatever cloak it has when it evolves (at Lv.20) is kept by Wormadam forever.
