Can someone explain to me why the book on Poffins for the third clue is now nowhere to be seen in the Nacrene City Gym? I remember seeing it before I got to the third clue, but now that I'm there is doesn't appear to be on any of the bookshelves and none of the NPCs mention anything about it...

Thanks...

The English version is 10 characters as always, the Japanese version is 5 characters as always.

I have a question about the unity tower. Since you need to do an international trade to unlock floors. Does that mean that you can't unlock the floor of your own country?

If you happen to trade with someone in your own country does it count for nothing?

You do unlock your own country's floor by trading within it, however that alone doesn't unlock the Unity Tower.

Whats the best channel for the wifi to be on for a ds?

This may have already been answered, buuuut . . .

I began playing White ten minutes ago, and my pre-planned team calls for a Hasty Oshawott. Is there anyway I can see the Nature in the Pokemon's profile during the battle? It would save a lot of time.

A trick that's been possible since the Red and Blue days: Instead of choosing "Fight" choose "Pokemon" as if you were going to switch. Then just look at Oshawott's summary.

I know this has probably been asked before, but...

When does the Wi-Fi trading unlock/open?

When you get the C-Gear, shortly after the first badge.

You can't see a Pokemon's nature on the Summary screen during battles.

As soon as you get the C-Gear.

Ah ok then. Thank you very much.

Can't do that, the battle summary screen hasn't displayed nature since D/P.

You'll have to beat both rivals first, I'm afraid.

I need some help, When I use the relocator, my celebi does not get sent to the game for some reason, and I do not know why. I really want the zorua, and I really need an explanation on why it does not get sent. If it helps, the celebi is a Mall tour one that I had gotten from gamestop because they got the wrong cartridge. Please help.

Make sure you've removed the item attached to Celebi before attempting to transfer it over; It cannot be transferred if it has an item.

And the Mall Tour Celebi is exactly like the GameStop Celebi, so there shouldn't be a problem there.

Whats the best channel for the wifi to be on for a ds?

1 to 11 in the US and 1-13 just about everywhere else.

I actually am unable to answer it, and so are most people on the internet. It really depends on your local area and who else has a Wifi router.

The only thing I can suggest is that Pick one that is unused or far away from the ones are in use.

I understand that US Emergancy services use the 12th and 13th channels for their needs, and I understand it can be a federal offence. (I am English, and don't really need to know why.)

Which Psychic type is the best? (strictly for in game purposes)

Mumurashu or however you spell it, Reninculus, or Swoobat?

[Dr. Leggs]

Reuniclus, or Musharna. Probably the former.

This is probably a silly question, but what counts as completing the Pokédex to get the next trainer card color? Is it seeing all the Pokémon including event legendaries or just seeing 646? Or do I have to actually own all of them? I finally have 646 seen so it's not a problem if I have to catch that number as well, but I'm just wondering since I've never actually completed my Pokédex (seen or otherwise) before.

EDIT: Nevermind, found out that I need to actually own all of them. Should've known.

I've got the US Version of White, and I'm trying to connect through my DSi and it is telling me to setup my internet connection in the basic home/settings screen.

When I go to that screen, I can do internet updates and connect fine through my WPA wireless router without adjusting any settings. When I go back in game, the prompt is the same; it doesn't think that I have a proper wireless setting.

Any tips/tricks or advice?

Yeah, I'm having similar troubles. Anyone with any advice?

[abhiramreddy]

the same thing happened to me but I kept trying then it worked
