Yes, probably on a DS Lite to trade between copies. Will that make a difference?

Yeah, unfortunately that does. It's stupid, I know >>

So do I need to wait? It's been more than 24 hours now. Or do I have to resync it? There's no option for that so maybe it will be OK when I next try it.

Okay another IV question.

I have 2 Gibles (Male and Female) which are Jolly.

The Male one has perfect IV in Defense, S.Defense and Speed while the female has perfect IV in Attack.

How do I get the child to have all the IVs?


P.S I also want the child to be Jolly and the parents are also Jolly.

You can only pass down 2 IV's for certain if you give each parent one of the EV Power items (ie. the power bracer, power band, power lens etc) that pertain to a certain IV you want to pass down. The offspring will only take those 2 that you're forcing it to have (via the items) and one other IV from one of it's parents, the other 3 IVs are randomly generated.

The only way for you to pass on the Jolly nature though is to have one of the parents hold an Everstone for a 50% chance of the offspring having the correct nature, therefor you're gunna have to make a choice, either you give both parents a Power item and hope for nature, or sacrifice one of your "for certain" IVs for a better chance at getting the Jolly nature.

Either way though it will take a ton of inbreeding to get a near flawless offspring with the nature you want.

I think that will be the reason why you had person in the city but I haven't had people in my Black City and I got it on the release date. The Entralink makes it quicker. Looking at this has made me want to ask my own question which is how long does it take for people to come to Black City if you don't use the Entralink?

People don't come to Black City without using the Entralink.
"The number of people living here is determined by the number of days it took you to reach the city from starting Pokémon Black Version." means that the longer you take to get there, the less people there are remaining.

Does a shiny Nincada give a shiny Ninjask AND Shedinja all the time?

I believe so.

If I downloaded the Liberty Pass on Pokemon White via Mystery Gift, started the game but didn't actually pick up the item and then reset for a new game (before even leaving the first town) will I still be able to obtain the Liberty Pass?

You will lose the Wonder Card is you delete your game, so Id suggest not deleting the game if you want to get the Liberty Ticket.

Well, for starters, you should have included all of the info in the original question. The requirements are in the FAQ, although I still can't remember the name for the question. 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.

Thank you thank you thank you! you have NO idea how much this means to me.

Does Pokemon White occur 10+ years before Pokemon Black? I speak of course, of those...strange events that take place in Opelucid. Im trying not to put in any spoilers but...It just makes no sense. Theyd have to be that far apart...And yet they cant be. This has been driving me quite insane.

The changes in Opelucid City are only due to the differences between games, not due to differences in the time periods the games took place in.
