Kirikizan, Dark-Steel type, one of my favorite pokemon of the new gen. Pretty BAMF, too.

Eh, there's always going to be a few you hate. But don't skip out on this game because of sucky name dubs, this is definitely the best pokemon game ever. I'm still discovering new things, even after playing this game frequently for two months (though recently has been more finding pokemon, training them, and attempting to EV). The graphics are gorgeous, and everything is done to a point of perfection not even close to matched by anything I've seen before in an RPG like this one.

I also did catch PokeRus, which I had practically been praying for, but I couldn't tell until my pokemon all healed because I couldn't read the PokeCenter nurse's speech about it So, I couldn't get it to spread through my pokemon. Fml.

Wait - you are one of the crazy people who ordered if from Japan?

I'd just much rather wait, instead of dealing with missing out on the entire story.


Is anyone else doing Pokemon Profile Picture Month this year?

Two months and you're still finding new stuff!?!?

Training or not, that sounds like there's a LOT of content in this one. Definitely sounds like it'll last a lot longer than any of the others did.

I wouldn't dream of missing out on this even if the names were like "FirePig." That wouldn't bother me. I'll just rename those Pokemon.

PokéRus sounds like it's even harder to get in this game. Is it?

Okay, so how in the world am I supposed to FIND these EV depleting berries?

I've pal parked all of mine from Emerald. All are available from any berry masters in any version (not sure about Black/White, and other berries can be earned this way randomly), and four of them may be received along with other berries for trading a shard of any color to a juggler in Fucscia city in HG/SS (can't really miss him).

If you've gone through Sinnoh and picked all the berries (you need waterfall and surf for this), you'll have most of them as well. They're also available on various pokewalker routes.

So there's not really an easy way to get them...

Yes. Not that there's more routes, the routes are just quite large, and there items in some out-of-the-way places. Took me a few days (not entire days, just portions of those days) to find the Giant Hall (where Kyurem is), and I've still yet to enter the underwater ruins in Sazanami Bay.

There is actually a LOT of trainers after the Elite Four, and a majority of their pokemon are over level 60, but are easier to beat than their exp. giveout seems to reflect, so there is lots of training opportunities outside of E4 rematches.

That's what I do ^_^ (Still going to name my Tsutarja* Smugleaf.)
*I really think I'm going to stick with the Japanese names for now. Much nicer so far, IMO (though I do kind of like Unova...)

I don't really know the numbers, but I doubt it. I'm just lucky in finding it eventually; I'll probably find it again at some point with all the wild battles I'm having (still amazed I haven't found any shinies yet). In case you misunderstood me, what I meant was that my party had caught PokeRus, but I didn't realize that it did until I could no longer spread it to the pokemon that need it.

Ordered it from Japan? Yes. But crazy? Well... yes. But I digress.

I had the general idea of the story, so I didn't really care. I'll focus on the details when I get my english copy.

If you have access to Diamond/Pearl, they're all sitting out in the field, and not difficult at all to find. (iirc)

You can also check over at Gamefaqs or somewhere similar to find exact locations . . . .

Sorry, I'm still kind of a newb to Pokemon, I only have Diamond for DS and battle revolution for Wii, so what is a pokerus? Is it the same as the berry Elffy was talking about? Thanks in advance.

Basically, its a good thing that increases the speed that your pokemon gain stats. Game mechanics wise it doubles the amount of EVs your pokemon receive from each battle. Check out an EV training guide if you want more info on the exact mechanics of how this works.

And someone posted a comment saying that there were some new names on the official website as well. I haven't checked it yet.
