Is there any way to change a pokemons name that is the original name (though traded)

I want HOUNDOOM to Houndoom, I wouldn't care, but it's shiny

If the OT is different from your own, you can't. No exceptions.

So there is a guy standing in front of the receptionist in Black Tower, he is directly in front of the person and I can't talk to the person to let me compete. How can I get this guy to move?

[Bathrezz]

You gotta go talk to Alder in Floccey town

[Ryan7437]

I just got a Latias ( Timid Nature on the first try! ) and there is no Soul Dew. How do I get it?

Agreed with Bathrezz, you must go to Alder and battle him. After that, you will gain access to the Tower/Treehollow.

The Soul Dew must be picked up as an item. It should be near where you caught the Eon at the Dreamyard.

Catching Milotic in B2 at route one ... And I am hoping I've picked the appropriate forum, if not, sincere apologies. I have taken my super rod to the area but am getting rather bored.

Per the PokeDex listed Method, it's "Fishing - Special", but I'm not sure what that means. As opposed to B1/W1 Method of "Fishing - Shaking Spots". Can someone give me a hand here? I'm afraid my 2 brain cells aren't working it out, and I'm scared they'll shake apart :-)

If some minor encouragement would help, I am hoping to breed up some Feebas w prism scale attached for trading on the GTS, for I too am sick of totally unreasonable trade requests... As opposed to marginally unreasonable requests :-)

You can catch them in the water spots as before.

If you're so fortunate as to have the Lucky pass power, they're pretty common, too.

It affects several people.. Including staff.. I'll give Serebii another buzz.

Another question just thought of, don't know if it's been answered in the >200 pgs if so I apologize. Short attention span.

PC Boxes. (Other than a cheat code/cheater), how does one obtain/earn additional PC Boxes? I've long run out of room for neat organization, running out of room is a soon to be likelihood.

Thanks.

There's a total of 24 boxes, but you only start off with 8. You need to put at least one pokémon in each box, log out, log in again and you should have 16 boxes. Repeat this and you should have all 24 boxes.

you get an additional 8 if you follow the "put one in every box" trick, then another 8 after you beat the game & do the "put one in every box" trick...

[the ash man83]

then another 8 after you beat the game

I don't think so. I had all 24 boxes before I won the second gym badge (Virbank City).

[MAGAX]

just a question to confirm something. I just got pokerus from an Ambipom obtained in an in-game trade(the girl in Accumula town). is everyone getting the pokerus from that Ambipom or did i just got lucky?

Nope, you're just one extremely lucky sod.

[Dudesean]

What is the easiest way to encounter a shiny?

[Rakurai]

Breeding Pokemon using the Masuda Method yields the highest chance of obtaining a shiny Pokemon, which can be made slightly higher if you obtain the shiny charm.

But where? I know I have too get it there but where is it? I can't find it

[SapphSabre777]

It should be at the EXACT location of where you encountered the Eon.

[ryoverde]

Well, it's irrelevant in my case because I've all 8 gym badges & beaten Iris once and just started "after game" things. But, I wished to say "thank you" because it's working like a champ.

really? i tried to get all 24 before i beat the game (don't remember the exact time) & i could only get 16. then i tried again after i beat iris & it worked then...hmmm, that's odd...ah well...

[Ryan7437]

It isn't there. I've captured Latias and I've tried in my party, not in my party, nothing!
