1) In Soul Silver, how do I see the number of pokemon encounters I have had? I tried scrolling down on the back on my trainer card like everyone says to do but it isn't working like it does in my White version.
2) While playing Soul Silver, the upper left section of my screen starts to graphically glitch and the same section becomes fuzzy as I move. Is it the game or the DS? Should I move the game to my other DS? Could it cause problems for my game, or is it not something to worry about?

You already asked these questions in the Pokemon Questions Thread, where they belong.

Is there any trick to beat spiders in The legend of Zelda SS. I'm playing the harder mode now and I can't beat the spider without the bug.

If they're on the ground, use an upward slash to flip them onto their backs. Then use the finishing blow. If they're dangling from the ceiling, slash sideways to turn them around, then stab it belly.

How does the gift function on the 3DS store work? Due to my poor internet connection I can't get past the first two loading screens in the shop, but I can get spotpasses from my wifi and hotspots around town. If I was to organise someone to gift me a game, would I need to access the store first to allow it to download, or could it just arrive via spotpass straight away?

For qnyone that has gotten the game yet:
Is Sticker Star worth it? I'm trying to decide if I want it for Christmas or not.
Compare it to NSMB2: Playtime? Postgame? Extras? Modes? Overall value?

Any and all help would be appreciated!

It is worth every penny. The 3D works great, not much to do post game, but the time spent playing the story is long enough. The overall elements of the game fit together nicely.

Right, so I'm playing through Okami Wii, and I have to beat Hayabusa's turnip-digging record to get him to talk to me. Well, I dug up all the turnips while avoiding the angry woman-person and bit the last one, but Hayabusa's still being a douche. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?

EDIT: Checked again at night. Still won't talk to me. I haven't talked the Canine in the Sparrow Inn, though, if that matters.

I need help on the legend of Zelda Twilight Princess the Water temple the moving stairs.

You'll have to be more specific than that, since the stairs have to be moved several times. How far have you progressed in the dungeon?

Is there a maximum amount of units that you can deploy in a given chapter of Fire Emblem: Awakening? If so, about how much?
I'm currently planning my team and I'm already pushing 16-17 units not counting any of the children characters. I'd just like to know how many more characters I can fit in, and whether I should kick out a few more or just put some of by more average units on rotation.

Yes, each Chapter has a set number of units you can deploy, but it varies based on the Chapter. I'm not sure of the exact numbers for every Chapter, but I know they definitely differ.

Long story short though, you will never be able to take all the units you want into battle. Believe me, I know that dilemma all too well. You'll either need to select a few that you use more often, or rotate them based on your needs... though the former is only necessary in Lunatic mode or higher, since you can grind to allow for rotation in Normal and Hard difficulties.

Edit: I think it averages around 12-14 per chapter? A few of the later chapters let you use 16, but most of the time it'll be a little bit less than that.

12-14? Damn. I'll probably dump a few units that I don't like/need like Cherche or Miriel. It's better to have 12 great units than 17 good ones. Besides, I can always grind everyone up regardless.
