I think Ninetales is a good Fire type in the Hoenn-based games.

For me it was only one weekend that I was fooled into thinking you could catch Mew. This was still 1998 and I read on some tripod site a very well detailed logical guide on how you could get to into the grass next to Pallet Town and catch Mew but over the weekend I kept finding other ones for a lost city and other crap and realized it was fake. I never believed any other rumors again but I was fooled for an April Fools Joke in 1999, I don't remember what magazine but I never thought a magazine would have a bogus secret and counting I didn't read it on April 1st I had no idea and it was relatively innocent since it mentioned you could get Yoshi by having a Dragonite that you raised in a specific way, get to the Unknown Dungeon and use a thunder stone and it would change into yoshi, he still had the same stats and Pokedex entry but his sprite would change to Yoshi and it had a screenshot. I do miss the days of people talking about Pikablu, I kind of think they missed the boat on him since they could've easily marketed him much more and made Marril into a bigger fan favorite instead of trying and failing to promote Pichu.

When I play through the games I try to use new Pokemon introduced in/from that Generation only. I only use older Pokemon if they have a new evolution in that Generations (otherwise it would be almost impossible in GenII). This restriction makes me use a bunch of Pokemon I wouldn't otherwise as 2 or 3 slots would probably be taken by Pokemon from other gens. Counting I didn't played very little in B/W I had to look up from time to time online to make sure I wasn't using a B/W Pokemon while playing X/Y.

I finally got my shiny Beldum and Glalie on my Alpha Sapphire game, I don't know how much more of the game I'll play currently, I was glad May/Brendan kept their original names and not that nonsense Orlando crap from the special demo. I also realized why I never finish any Pokemon game, I literally spent 40 minutes from beginning to when you get your Pokedex just talking to NPCs and trying to catch all the Pokemon in each area. That new feature of "all caught" is really handy though and saved me some time. So my OCD for catching all the Pokemon in one area and talking to all the NPCs makes me spend 4 times as much as it should in each location and I bore myself.

Where can I obtain element stones in Alpha Sapphire so I can evolve Gloom and Nuzleaf?

Pretty sure you have to find a green shard and bring it to the guy in between Lilycove and Mossdeep (in the little hut or whatever). He'll give you a stone to correspond with the color of the shard you bring him.

Shards are probably hard to come by too.


I got a Snivey by Wonder Trade so I put the duplicate starter up for trade in the GTS system. Thought why not go for a long shot for the new Eevolution,Sylveon. About an hour later a level 1 duplicate starter turned into a level 53 Sylveon. Something about that seems uneven but I can't complain. I followed it up for a bolder attempt. I just evolved Vigoroth into Slaking. It was only for the purpose of filling out the Hoenn Pokedex as Slaking seems useless to me. I asked for Latios and shockingly got one in return when I awoke this morning.Anyone else get lucky with trades like this?

I'm always suspicious of legendary Pokemon from the GTS. Especially if you get one in return for a regular Pokemon. But I have gotten a lot of legit ones from GTS too...or at least they were good enough hacks to fool the pokebank when I traded all my good stuff last year.

Shiny Pokemon too.

Latios was at level 43 opposed to level 30. The stats looked in line with those that would be at that level and the experience to the next was about a third of the way to level 44 already. I am pretty sure its real. I am just surprised a Slaking for a Latios is a good deal for someone. Glad it is. Same with the earlier mentioned Sviney level 1 for Sylveon at level 53 deal.

I need to figure out where the sixth gym is in Fortree City. Its a bit of a maze. That will be this weekend's goal.

Is there a list of legendary Pokémon available in Alpha Sapphire?

Last night I had time to easily swoop through the 6th gym with Mega Manetric. That leaves me with two questions. How do I get to participate in the Safari Zone of the region and how can I obtain a Blazikenite to mega evolve my Blaziken that I am raising as apart of my team but traded for thus don't get the mega stone for?

You can literally walk straight into the Safari Zone and run around to your heart's content. No entry fee or requirements whatsoever. (You'll need both bikes to access all the TMs, though - which is a whole other procedure.)

You can get the remaining two starter stones from some dude on route 114. $1500 for each one. Can't buy them til after the Kyogre/Groudon event in Sootopolis.

I just arrived in Lillycove. I could not remember and wanted to have a heads up. Thanks about the info on the Blazikenite. I could use it. I have a Gradevoir at level 48 but I prefer a Gallade if anyone can help track one down.

Just go to where you caught a Ralts and catch a male one. Use the dexnav to make it easier. So bring up the dexnav in the area where the Raltses are, click on the picture of the Ralts, and then go to wherever the dexnav tells you to. You'll catch a male one eventually. Evolve that into the ballerina thing and then use a dawn stone on it.

Same here. I have a male one but I don't have a Dawn Stone. Don't know where to find one.Its a shame that you can't buy stones at the department store. I lucked out sending a duplicate Mightyena I got off of a Wonder Trade in the GTS and got a Gallade from Japan over night.

Its funny since I did not play for two generations and getting Pomedon in different types of trades. I don't know what I have. Mienfoo at level 46 any good? What About a level 38 Audino? Both are males.

You need the Acro bike. When on the bike just hold down the B button and you'll start to "bunny hop".

Ok,I am at a choice now. I got Gallade in the GTS just under level 40. Now he and my Gravoir are both at level 51. Which one is better for battle?

That's entirely subjective, bud. Depends on their natures, attacks, compatibility with the rest of your team, and plenty of other things. Both are undeniably usable; hell, use both if you want. Completely and utterly up to you.
