The Man From Melmac: Sep 8, 2008

Can you still fight the trainers that lead up to a gym leader after you beat the gym leader? I'm dangerously close to a lot of my Pokemon going over level 30 in the second gym and I'm trying to avoid unnecessary fights.

Edit: Apparently not.

The main difference this time around is the version-exclusive Pokemon, and of course those can be traded over from the other version. So in the end it doesn't matter too much.

How do you know if a wondertraded Pokemon has Pokerus? Do you have to check at the Pokecenter, or is there some indication?

I'm assuming any pokemon which is shown standing on the ground in its animation will be ineligible for sky battles regardless of typing or ability (So that they don't have to make a second set of animations for it)

The other way around isn't true though, my beedrill isn't eligible.

How does skrelp evolve? GameFAQs says knowing camouflage and leveling up at lvl 37 but I just leveled at 42 knowing it and nothing happened? Do I need to hold the DS at 45degrees or something?

edit: never mind serebii says lvl 48 keep on trucking I suppose.

You can catch evolved ones at level 35 with a super rod. I've been farming them for trades they seem to be highly in demand :v:

10000 pok dollars in the Pokemon Center in the south part of not-Paris.

Does anyone with Y know where to find Shellder? I am ditching my starter (Chesnaught) because Greninja is better in almost every way and can one hit kill him with extrasensory. So I'm just going to make his slot a revolving door of Dragalge, Clawitzer, Goomy and Cloyster. Sorry Bowser.

How do I evolve Eevee into Sylveon?

Eevee evolves into Sylveon upon levelling up provided two conditions are met: 1) it knows at least one Fairy-type move, 2) each of its Pok�mon-Amie attributes has been raised to the maximum.

Is there anything stopping me from giving my starter Pokemon to a friend, then making a new game, and taking it back? Eventually getting all the starters at the beginning of the game?

No, but you could just trade for them with strangers on the internet, which is easier than it sounds. For example by breeding your own starter.

I haven't had this much fun playing pokemon in forever. I just beat the 3rd gymleader and got a move called 'power up punch'. I pop it open to see who all on my team can learn it. Apparently not only can everyone on my team learn it, 3 of them are fighting types. So I taught it to 4 pokemon.

The 4th one being Mawile :getin:

Wait, this may be because I only remember DP/BW as fever dreams, but are TM's reusable like HM's? Are HM's able to be overwritten?

TMs used to not be reusable, but they became reusable either in DP or BW, can't recall. HMs still can't be forgotten except by special means (a special NPC), though.

Yep TM's are reuseable. That was another major quality of life improvement that B/W did.

Does anyone have info on the new ability changing item and how to get it / how it works? I saw someone mention it and I'm super curious though I'm pretty sure I'm still a couple hours away from that point.

According to GameFAQs it's a one-use item that changes a Pokemon's ability between the two normal abilities (so no hidden abilities). Costs 200BP, not sure if you can buy multiples but I'd be surprised if you couldn't.
