Wireless security in your router must be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy, or else the DS won't be able to connect to it. WEP isn't usually preferred because http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access are so much more secure it's not even funny.

Youuuuuu can usually connect to the router by typing 198.162.1.1 in the URL bar of your browser, although it may differ depending on what type you use. Default user name and password is either admin/admin or root/admin on all routers. From there you can navigate to wireless security settings, make them WEP, write down the key (there will be 4, any will do), and then enter that in your DS.

Turn on Pokemon, press Start, select Nintendo WFC Settings. Tap the blue box, Connection 1, Search for access point, select your router when it's found, enter they key you wrote down, and carry on from there.

Note that if your ISP set up your wireless router/someone else did, they may have changed the default username password (Verizon seems to like to do this a lot). To reset your router to default settings, usually you just hold down the reset button for 15-20 seconds.

And I need a pokemon to teach Fly to. Not Skarmory or Pidgeotto/Pidgeot. And I'm not wasting it on Dragonite. Any suggestions?

I caught a Golbat and taught it fly. Now it's a Crobat, which is a pretty awesome pokemon...really fast and can learn cool moves like mean look and haze.

Noctowl is good for Fly duty. It's nice for Hypnosis duty when capturing Pokemon as well.

It's a tie between Crobat and Honchkrow...

The only problem with Noctowl is that it's generally not very strong. Crobat and Honchkrow are borderline but they do at least meet my team standard.

Yeah agreed. Noctowl needs another evolution to be really good.

I never had a Honchkrow, so I don't know how good it is. Just get whichever pokemon fits your team more.

*smacks self* Aerodactyl.

I'll just find one in my Diamond. Revive it. Trade it. It receives the trade bonus plus I get my almost dream team. Dreamy enough to take down the Elite Four.

Oh yeah, forgot about Aerodactyl...it owns

Noctowl is a pretty good special-tankish pokemon, and it can't be slept. 100 base HP and 96 base special defense. Max out HP and special defense, give it roost, and night shade for consistent damage. Not to mention that it can sleep others. It's not an amazingly strong pokemon, but it's not bad.

Can someone help me find a good desktop wallpaper with the olivine city gym leader in it? (1280 x 780 ) I've been looking for one but I can't seem to find a good one v.v

Just caught an awesome Suicune on SoulSilver. Bold natured, and has some pretty good IVs too. Can't wait to use this beast in battle frontier now.

» Sun May 01, 2011 7:23 pm

Where are you supposed to catch Suicune on HeartGold? Also, I caught the Sudowoodo after I beat the Elite Four.

» Mon May 02, 2011 3:20 am

On route 25,near bill's house.

It's level 40.

Atleast that's how it was on SS,I dunno about HG..Can't see it being different.

You eventually catch it on Cerluean Cape. Check http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/legends.shtml out to find out exactly how.

I ran into entei accidently... Also, I can't seem to find a yanma. Funny, I've gotten into bug pokemon.

» Sun May 01, 2011 7:29 pm

Wohoo, my HeartGold package arrived at last. Got a nice silicon jacket for the Pokewalker, and a strap for it as well. Don't have a friend code yet, at least I haven't checked.

Also: Bulbapedia is too slow. Using HTTrack to just download the whole site so I won't have to deal with slow load times every time I feel like looking up what level my Pokemon learn moves.

I wanna do that (bulbapedia thing) then I can surf it lightning fast

Yeah it's a real pain. I think the site is getting huge traffic lately because of the HG/SS release.

I expect the site to be at least 1GB large though. Not as big as the real Wikipedia at least (200+GB). :hehe:

I don't usually bother with Bulbapedia's slowness. Instead, I use http://pokemon.marriland.com/hgss/pokedex/list/johto/

Would you kindly provide links?

I use Serebii personally.

Does anyone know where I can find a Barboach and a Happiny on Platinum? Those are the only pokemon except for some of the legendaries that I need to finish my pokedex.

On HG, I just caught a blue Electrode at the Team Rocket place in Mahogany. Is it shiny?

For Happiny, breed a Chansey that's holding a luck incense and the baby will be born a Happiny.

For Barboach fish in the Great Marsh (Safari Zone) with a good rod.

Edit:
For your edit while I posted, yes. Blue Electrodes are shiny.

Alright, cool. My first shiny. :twirl: Where can I find a Chansey?

Congratulations on it. :celebration:

Still Congrats.

Man HeartGold is so much better than Platinum. It's like going from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Menu on the touch screen to replace that pokeapp thing is the best idea ever. Also caught my first pokemon on the walker, a Doduo. ^_^

Although I'm not sure what to make of my new Mareep. All of the other pokemon I've caught have been receptive...with things like "Onix is looking intently at you" and "Ratatta wants to play" when I talk to them. But poor Mareep is so shy. "Mareep is looking steadily at the ground" and "Mareep is wandering around" are all I get. Makes me want to give the little ball of wool a hug.
