Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Help Thread [UBER EDITION] [READ THE FIRST POST]

[PokemonOwn]

My only idea would be to get another game. If your valuble Pokemon/Items aren't on it, then it would be a good idea to try erasing the data first.

[Zoruaruler]

Right but I can't even get to the starting screen. I turn the system on then click on thegame and it immediately goes to the blue screen that says game data can not be read please take the game out and put it back in.

I used the Electirizer in HG on an Electivire to use for a Battle Frontier Team. However, stupidly, I failed to realise that Cross Chop was an egg move. I have already used the Electirizer in Platinum to get an Electivire for the Pokedex ages ago before I was interested in raising a team for the Battle Frontier. However, I now want to get a cross choping Electivire. I know in Diamond and Pearl I can use Covet on Elekids to get an Electivire. Is it the same on Platinum? Can I get another Electirizer? Or do I have to start a new game on HG or Plat which I really, really don't want to do.

You could always trade for another one...

[Shiny Espeon0429]

Yes, but do you know whether I can Thief/Covet them off Wild Electabuzz in Plat?

There's only one Electrilizer in Platinum, the one in the Valley Windworks that you would have already obtained.

Is a cloned Pokemon considered hacked?

Is a cloned Pokemon considered hacked?

Only if a hacking device is used to clone. Clones can be made legally in several ways.

Emerald has a PC box trick that makes cloning easy.

D/P have a GTS cloning glitch.

And just like in Gen I, if you disconnect at the right time during a trade, you'll end up with a dupe.

[Hydrohs]

While I agree with randomspot, some people will tell you that using one of the cloning glitches is considered hacking. But since a cloned Pokemon is exactly the same as one that's not cloned there's no reason to tell someone that it was cloned, therefore they can't get angry with you.

That's what I thought.

Thanks for your help.

@shiny espeon, if you have access to fire red and dual slot on the ds, you have a chance of an elekid holding one at the valley windworks

HG/SS have a cloning glitch involving the Pokéwalker, too.

I was RNG'ing and I knocked out my legendary trio. I've beaten the e4 again but they did not regenerate, i thought they were regenerating after defeating, should I just wait?

If you're RNG'ing you don't want roamers.

I have two questions regarding Pal Park:

1) When I tried to migrate from Sapphire to Platinum today, my DS said something about me using "a different DS," or the "clock may have been changed" (I have not touched it). It then made me change the clock(s) to match each other, and said I could not migrate for 24 hours. What does this mean?

2) The internal battery in my Ruby version recently died. Can I still migrate Pokemon from this game cartridge to Platinum?

For the first one just follow what it says and wait 24 hours.

You should still be able to migrate from the ruby, as the internal battery dead thing only affects clock based events, not data logging events

I'd just like to point out that you can easily bypass the 24-hour wait by using the Pal Park Trick:

The Pal Park trick allows you to receive more than six Pokémon per day from one third-generation cartridge. For this trick to work, you will need at least two separate third-generation GBA Pokémon games—one used to synchronize the game and DS clocks, and one from which to import Pokémon. Here is an example step-by-step guide.

1.Change the date on your DS. If you have already Pal Parked Pokémon on a given day, move your DS's internal calendar forward by a day.
2.With the cartridge you will be using for synchronization inserted, turn on your DS and proceed to Pal Park as normal.
3.You will receive the following message: You are using different a Nintendo DS, or its internal clock has been altered. If the game's time settings are changed, you will not be able to migrate Pokemon for another 24 hours. It will then give you the option to match settings on the current DS. Select Yes on the touch screen and the settings will change.
4.Power off your DS, and insert the cartridge you wish to migrate Pokémon from.
5.Turn it back on and Pal Park as normal.
6.Repeat as required to Pal Park as many Pokémon as you wish in a single day, making sure to swap the cartridge as required.

If you follow those steps, you should be able to pal-park without waiting for 24 hours.

is this on d/p? Cause they don't respawn if you kill them

[Mudkip8003]

If it's the legendary birds, they aren't on D/P. But yeah, 11tjcoulombe is right.

Hey, could someone tell me how to find my SID without having caught a shiny pokemon and ofc, without having an AR?

Thanks!

You can't. Someone else could probably tell you though.

Yes, I do know of a way. But It's against the rules! Actually, of the hardware and certain softwares needed has to find out in the big world.

I will say the SID is recorded with every Pokémon you capture.

Some times, Google is a good better to ask stuff about..

Google holds nothing but disapointment and AR codes. ):

Guess i'll just need to wait til I stumble accross a wild Shiny to work out my SID.

[Nutter t.KK]

You need use the right terms.

I've actually mentioned the actual method in a few places, before I was staff. Can't guarantee it will work, but read some stuff and be bold and you may find a clue or two.
