eh anyone know if its possible to change you home loction to get other regions dream world event stuff like cgear skins and what not?

Once you set your home location, you can't change it. The only way to get a new location is to buy a new game.

[DarthAce13]

thanks sorta glade i set an R4 game to UK just to get the skins ...lol

[Ansem1013]

with the "Dreamworld Hack," do the berry and rank affect anything?

It's better if we don't discuss about the hack here, the DW hack is considered as an illegal device.

[2rsa]

Yes!Firetrucking finally i'm able to visit DW again.had a problem for a few days.:|
I was able to fine a female Cacnea today + a few useful items.^-^

[The Eleventh]

Today, I took home a female Qwilfish. I now have 7,300 points, so I'm looking forward to the point when I can get interesting Pokémon like Tyrogue, Natu, Tentacool and Corphish.

Snagged a female trick duskull something I'd been seeking out

[Ciccone]

Today's English Dream World session was kind of boring since I was only sent to the Windswept Sky and Spooky Manor areas. I befriended 14 Pokemon, but they were all Pokemon that I had befriended before. I kept a male Ralts and then I harvested my berries; I planted Shuca, Chilan, Haban and Kasib Berries in the soil after that. I visited my Dream Pals' gardens when that was done, and I watered their berries. I searched through Share Shelves as well, but I didn't find any rare items today.

Do you mean "illegal" as in it's against Dream World/Nintendo policy, or "illegal" as in it's against forum standards to talk about it?

White
--------
After a ten day drought of not being taken to the Spooky Manor, I finally was taken there today! And I managed to encounter a Spiritomb, too! Man, what a relief. Now, just to find a Vulpix and a Dratini, and I'll be content.

Black
-------
I encountered a bunch of females today; an Elekid, a second Spiritomb, and a Magikarp. Everything else was stuff I either encountered before or didn't much want. I decided on the Magikarp so I could get a Moxie Gyarados. A day or two away from having enough Sitrus berries to get the Log Cabin to replace the Manor I got. Replacing that since I already have the Manor on my White version, too.

Do you mean "illegal" as in it's against Dream World/Nintendo policy, or "illegal" as in it's against forum standards to talk about it?

both, really. It fits the description of a hacking device (which Serebii dislikes) and it even has HACK in its name. Furthermore, don't we all know we're never supposed to cheat the DW that way?

strange, same here. i did go to the forest once though

Do you mean "illegal" as in it's against Dream World/Nintendo policy, or "illegal" as in it's against forum standards to talk about it?

i think the first definition bears the other; i, personally, think it's a little cheap, at least for those who are starting out; i can understand people who've played for months and just want a couple of particular targets; i'm getting to that point myself.

anyway, i had a few boring sessions the last few days; yesterday i got a glameow, a male that knew assurance, and today i chose another male, a featherdancing staraptor. i had found a charming wobbuffet, but i'm more interested in one that knows encore.

main targets now - vulpix, a couple of magnemites, outrage bagon, sludge wave gastly, encore wobbuffet, and bully's special priiiize, icy wind lapras. building up a store of berries to get all the catalogue stuff too, such as the houses and beds and whatnot. something to do i guess. then i'll go back to growing EV berries; peeeeeeeeeeace

[The Eleventh]

both, really.

Nintendo has said nothing on the matter, so you can't say it's "against their policy".

It fits the description of a hacking device (which Serebii dislikes)

It doesn't create data, but merely searches for and finds the data which is already there.

and it even has HACK in its name.

No, it doesn't. It's called "DW.exe"; I don't see "hack" there, do you?

Furthermore, don't we all know we're never supposed to cheat the DW that way?

Do we? Says who?

I'm just playing devil's advocate here...

[R_N]

Doesn't DW.exe work on the same principal of the friending method found a while back? You know, using cookies to get the proper information to do a thing.
Or, really, no worse than RNG's requirements.

Besides people cheat at the ice cream game all the time :V

[Nutter t.KK]

Serebii said this morning in the staff forum that the DW hack program discussion falls under the same category as Action Replay and R4s.

Actually, it reads data that you can't normally work out with paper and pen or stopwatch, and also sends "fake" data back to Nintendo. (EV and IVs and RNG can be all worked out without aid of a computer.)

[The Eleventh]

I only found two females in the Dream World today, both of whom didn't appeal to me. Instead, I took home a Burmy for teh lulz. I have about 8,500 points now.

[2rsa]

Dang it!i couldn't find any females today!and i played with almost every pokemon.i usually skip a lot of them.
at the end of the day i got a male superpower spida + a pearl.^-^
Also for the first time i managed to get a really high score in the Wailord game.:3

[Pokemom]

it's different to RNG abuse because it automatically befriends every pokemon you could possibly meet in a session without you having to play the mini-games to do so. it's a program that interacts with the game itself to do something you wouldn't normally be able to do; RNG abuse involves either using your mind or a program with the parameters necessary to work out the pattern of pseudo-random RNG in the game, and then turning the game on at the appropriate time to get the required nature and desired IVs. clear difference, and i don't even RNG myself.

... and what's this about the ice cream game? do tell

is there any word on nintendo's stance, or are they unaware of the exe/not bothered about it? i don't think i'll be using it.

edit - pokemom (great username) i agree with 2rsa, i'd probably pick the mr mime out of that list. or possibly the pidgey, i don't think it normally gets steel wing.
