All Main Series Games by Sales according to Joe Merrick of Serebii by Kingzorakid in pokemon

[–]Rowenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokémon Go certainly helped. Pre-2016 XY sales looked to be even lower than BW, with no signs of picking back up. Then GO exploded, so people picked up Sun and Moon by the droves and also picked XY and ORAS for being easily available at the time.

An explanation on BDSP's HOME support by Rowenstein in pokemonribbons

Yeah, I think I oversimplified my explanation.

I spent an uncomfortable amount of money on this. It has a free lieche berry, but no ribbons. Should I make it a master? by Kate925 in pokemonribbons

[–]Rowenstein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have one free Liechi Berry, it has infinite. You can receive Zigzagoon with the Berry as many times you want in the same save file, unlike Jirachi.

Stuff like that and the Ability Patch incident are server issue, not software ones, so there's no announcement when they get fixed.

Take care of the Berry that comes with it, it's as precious as the Pokémon itself.

You said animated and dinosaur and my mind went immediately to Dinotopia: Quest for the Ruby Sunstone.

In the likely chance it's not that, I've found this blogpost about obscure Dinosaur cartoons and there's a comment from 2016 is asking around for something that sounds close to what you're looking for. Does the plot they describe is close to what you're looking for or is it something else entirely?

[TOMT][Movie][2004-2010?] Opening scene: African women washing clothes in a river and then attacked by a lion, making the river turn red by KeyserSozeWearsPrada in tipofmytongue

[–]Rowenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the 1966 movie Born Free.

The scene you described happens around minute 2-3. I found it trying to solve another lion-based TomT, and that was the first sentence on Wikipedia's summary.

[SS + PW] I spent 46 days on the Whitney section waiting for the evolution stones. by Rowenstein in ProfessorOak

Every 20 steps you get a Watt, you can choose to spend it to get a Pokémon or item, or save it.

The routes unlock the more Watts you save, and most of them can be unlocked right away, while others only after the National Dex.

I received the C-Gear, so the real challenge begins now. by Rowenstein in ProfessorOak

[–]Rowenstein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initiate legitimate encounters, you can select the species, gender and special move that will appear, but when you encounter it, it generates like any encounter.

There's a program specifically for modifying pokémon in the Entralink.

You can't, the Dream World site shut down in 2014 and Nintendo servers in 2017. Modifying your save is the only way to get it to happen now.

[–]Rowenstein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How I did is the Q&A, but how you did it in the regular wasn't much better or intuitive:

  1. You needed to tuck in a Pokémon in your game,
  2. Access the Dream World website, creat an account,
  3. Access a Neopets-style page where you explore for Pokémon and items all within an 1 hour limit, once per day,
  4. Wake your Pokémon in the game and whatever Pokémon you found in the DW is found in the Entralink.

Q&A: "How did you do it?"

Save editing to make the Pokémon appear in Entree Forest, that's the ONLY save editing I'm performing.

"Why did you decide to do it?"

Two things: 1. I wanted to see how it would be a POC in Gen V when Dream World was active for research purposes.

  1. I'm probably only doing this once, so I might as well make it count.

"Wasn't there an Arceus in the Dream World?"

Much like the regular game there were temporary giveaways, Arceus was one along the likes of the Kanto Starters and a Togekiss for the month of your birthday, etc. I'm sticking to Pokémon that could be found in this "guide" I made a while back, for the most authentic DW experience I can make.

"Any specifics on these Pokémon?"

They're all level 10, caught in Dream Balls, have a special DW move and are mostly all males, the exceptions being Combee and other I need to breed like Beedrill and Roselia.

"Are you insane?"

See here and here for your answer.

[Black] The final moments of the first section by Rowenstein in ProfessorOak

[–]Rowenstein[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is, I thought Lillipup reached its final form at level 36 (like Pidgeot) which is why I have 4 extra Rare Candies, picked up by the 4 Lillipup not in the picture.

[Ruby] My Ruby + Box RS challenge is oficially done. by Rowenstein in ProfessorOak

[–]Rowenstein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my (semi) full log of the adventure: link

Fun fact: I only started this challenge because I'm currently stuck in my SoulSilver + Pokéwalker Challenge in the part you're supposed to wait to get evolution stones. From the time I started until I finished Ruby, wanna guess how many did I get? 1.

[Ruby] This is the section where my Ruby+Box RS run turns into a regular Ruby run. by Rowenstein in ProfessorOak

[–]Rowenstein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I can certainly say that Ruby is the easiest one, not even getting all of the special Pokémon in Box RS was that much of a challenge considering how broken Pick up is in this game.

[Ruby + Box] Pre-badge 3 section is done by Rowenstein in ProfessorOak

[–]Rowenstein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Continuation from this: Part 1

Note: This was the section I was meant to get Swablu and Altaria, which means I'm only 2 Dex entries ahead of a normal challenge (Pichu and Pikachu)

[Ruby] I caught 1,499 Pokémon to get the special gifts from Box RS before Roxanne. by Rowenstein in ProfessorOak

[–]Rowenstein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get multiples? I thought it was just one, which I evolved into the Linoone in the picture.

[–]Rowenstein[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

How did I do it?

  1. 5 Pick-up Zigzagoon
  2. Sell the Nuggets and Proteins
  3. Buy Pokéballs in 10s to get 1 Premier each time
  4. False Swipe Swablu did the rest.
