Thanks a lot for the help! I had no idea about compound eyes. I caught a Nincada in the bug hunt now and I'll try my luck in the safari zone. 1% encounter rate for chanseys is a bit harsh.

it's a pretty low chance as well but check the mary + oak radio show to see if your daily swarm is chansey. that's how i found my lucky egg

Oh poo poo! I didn't even notice. I thought he had given up on the chanseys and just posted the screenshot to highlight the level disparity of what he's forced to grind off of. Though now that I think of it 23 is really low, even for HGSS.

EDIT: Also the evolutions that Diamond and Pearl added to pokemon from the previous games are one of the few good things about gen 4.

I just picked up Omega Red yesterday. Diamond is the last poke game I played, and I never did any online stuff or trading.

Is wonder trade just random as to what you get? I put up a Zigzagoon and got an Eevee in exchange. (I wanted to name him Steevee but it wouldn't let me.)

Any tips for early OR?

Yeah, wonder trade randomly matches you with someone else who clicked wonder trade from around the world. Its fantastic and you usually get a really eclectic mix of 1st route trashmons, perfect/almost perfect breeding rejects with cool egg moves, popular poo poo like Charmander/Eevee, Joke mons (Sableye with Stall, Miltank named 'your mom' holding a burn heal etc).

Also you can't rename pokemon you get in a trade.

Wonder Trade is amazing :allears:

the first game has a tower dedicated to dead pokemon where you fight the ghost of one that was killed by the mob

And we got Haunter and Gengar. Both lovable tramps.

Now, there are piles of dead children waiting to be discovered. We need a detective pokemon to help find these children piles. Luckily VII will have just that.


I have been reading a lot of stuff on the internet about gen VII





Edit:
So how do the gens work in a game by game basis? How much many previous gen pokemon can I expect to see in a new game?

It's varied every gen. Black and White had no old pokemon till the post-game. Generally every game has it's own regional dex which is a mix & match of new and old pokemon, but a lot of old pokemon don't become available till you get the national dex, ie the post/late game. I think X/Y was pretty generous with it's variety, so I imagine Sun/Moon will have a pretty big selection of old pokemon too.

I've probably caught at least 15 in total, but after getting the compound eyes I think there were just 3. I figured out that I could use repels to up the number of encounters since the chanseys are much higher level.

Scald is actually has one of the highest burn chances out of all the moves that can burn. Also the nerf to Surf made the difference in power between Scald and Surf not as big of a deal, so it's seen more often.

Oh yeah, I didn't realize it was 30%. Thought it was the regular 10%. That explains it.

Considering the name is a call out to the French setting, do you guys think Pokemon-Amie is going to come back? On the one hand, it's really cute and harmless enough since the benefits are only in-game, but after grinding the 10 'mons I'm using on this playthrough, the OCD in me is hoping it won't be back. I know, I know. Like caring about IVs, natures and EVs, it's something completely optional, but when a game gives me a mechanic, there's a part of me that has to explore it to its full extent, and it gets tedious.

I wish I didn't have brain problems so I could enjoy petting my Pokermons. :(

it's already been shown in some videos, it's back and it looks like there's even more stuff to do in it like brushing pokemon's fur
