Official Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Help Thread

I was looking at that when I was looking for how to get her number, got it then try calling for a rematch (still Wed afternoon 12:00 - 19:59) and she talks about there are stronger trainers then here bla bla.... and not say anything about a rematch. I also try pushing the clock back at 12 but the same reply or is this why she won't have a rematch?

You have to beat all Kanto gym leaders to rematch one. Don't change the hour on the clock -- it will stop temporal events for 24 hours.

Hmm had a feeling I had to beat all the Kanto gym leaders frist thank you Maru, well then I have seven more badge's to collect then.:/

Since you've been to Pal Park already, it should be unlocked. Remember that you MUST save after you talk to the man, you can talk to him and then turn off without saving.

First, Insert your Sapphire game before you turn on the DS. The game boot up will detect it, and display the option on the main menu. This option is on the second screen next to Mystery Gift.

You've got to use the same language GBA game as the DS game.

I'd actually play and save the Sapphire game, to make sure it's working. If the game wasn't saved properly you must fix that.

My sapphire game is spanish and my soul silver one is english so i can see the problem now.
I,ll have to transfer them to pearl(is spanish too) and then find someone who can help me to trade them to SS.

Thanks for all.

Was just wondering if there was a non cheat device way of discovering my SID if i dont have any shiny pokemon?

[TrUmPzTeR]

Just wondering,

I have finished HeartGold many weeks ago and I am now playing SoulSilver. Everything went extremely well untill I got to the Whirl Islands to catch Lugia. When I entered the big waterfall where the Kimono girls are, my game suddenly froze at the scene where Lugia comes out of the waterfall, but the game's music still played normally though, just that I couldn't press anything, even the soft reset doesn't work. I had to turn my DSi off, and then on again, and the second time I watched Lugia's scene, everything was back to normal. (No freezing)

My question is, does this normally happen when your game freezes or is this an odd indication?

Thank you very much =)

No, You have to have a "cheat" device of some sort somewhere.

I know there are ways around some of the "Cheat" Detection systems. Your SID is always with the Pokémon you catch, trading one of your Pokémon away can help other people find your SID using a editor of some sort.

Occasionally, when to a poor connection to the cartage fails, the game runs out of data and just crashes. Just turn off the DS and start again.

No freezings anymore.

On the site, it says that the dragons den guy gives you the dratini right after you get the eighth badge. I've gotten all sixteen and he has yet to give it to me. All he does is talk about lugia. I haven't beaten red, does that have anything to do with it? Am I just missing something?

You just need to get Claire's TM O_O

[growlithe_master]

Oh... Uh... Wow. How did I miss that. Well thanks.

Is there any good place to train a level 16 Wobbuffet between the 6th and 7th gyms? I've got the Exp. Share, and if there's *any* way possible to reduce the grinding, I'll take it.

I think Route 38 should be good. The Pokémon there are between level 15-17 I think. Just train it there until it gets tougher enough to face trainers ^^ If you didn't beat every trainer arround whirl islands, it may help you too.

According to the site, you can get the ribbons you got from Julia in DPPt from the Day of the Week Siblings, but they won't give them to me. How do you get them?

Make sure you've met them all and you've obtained an item from all 7 of them or else they won't give you a Ribbon. Have you meet them all?

I'm still missing the Magnet from Sunny and the Sharp Beak from Monica.

Ah, then that may be your problem

I read that you must have met all 7 at some point in order for them to give you Ribbons. Try and see if that works. If problems persist, I'll try to find out what the problem is, though I'm 95% sure that'll solve the problems.

I have a Griseous orb in Soul Silver, after getting an extra Giratina from the Arceus event. I tried trading the Giratina with the orb, but it just went back to my bag when I went to trade it. I assume the same will happen if I give the orb in my Platinum to a Giratina and trade it. Is there any way to trade Giratina with the orb, or am I screwed?

when you try to trade Giratina with Griseous orb, it goes back to your bag. Only way to get Griseous Orb is the event Giratina with special Arceus.
why do you need to trade it over ?

What's the easiest/fastest way to earn Battle Points? The damn move tutors charge a ton of BP to teach moves. -_-


Also, are there NO strong wild Pokemon in this game? I checked Pokearth and it seems the highest levels you can find are like 48-50 in Mt.Silver. Even Cerulean Cave has Lv.40s! WTF? (I'm trying to train high-level Pokemon)

Just pick which part of the Battle Frontier you're best at and keep going through it.

That's Gold and Silver for you. Weak Pokemon all around. At least they leveled up the Elite Four after you beat them the first time.
