I did check the faq, but when I checked it still had the japanese name, not to be fresh, but that's how it was

When did you check it? I've had it updated for a couple days now, lol. I'm not talking about the one on GameFAQs. That one updates like a snail crawls. I'm talking about my working version; the one I link to on this thread. ;)

And don't worry. No offense is taken. :p

Nice BIG update today. :) I've added information about all kinds of stuff, including Pokeball seals, Ribbons, Items that can only be found by transferring them in thru Pal Park, and a score of additions and corrections. There are still some things I really need though, and they are the following:

Mystery Gift:
I need to know what kinds of items are able to be given through mystery gift. I have two games and two DS systems, but I can't test it just yet because I don't know what the Japanese words were to activate the Mystery Gift option in my Japanese Pearl game, lol. Anyway, mystery gift between two games via wireless or wifi may be possibilities. It certainly seems so given the menu.

Also, I need to know which berries can be obtained as prizes from the Pal Park. So far I've only gotten a smattering of them, like Oran, Cheri, Rawst, Wiki, Figy, Aguav, Iapapa, etc. I know there are more, but I won't add them until I'm sure of them.

Some help on what ribbons you can get in Fire Red and Leaf Green would be most appreciated. Serebii doesn't have them on his site, so I'm not sure what they are. Anyone know of a place where I can look? I'm going to try Bulbapedia. I usually have good luck with them. :)

Here, I'll bump this for you, it deserves to be seen.

BTW, I don't think FR/LG had any special ribbions.

I need help with finding Reaper Cloth in Turnback Cave. What is the certain amount of rooms I need to go through.
It's the smallest number, but I'm not sure what it is. I want to say it's five rooms... but I don't know for sure. :p Someone told me in the help thread, but the forums are lagging and I can't get the search to work, lol.

I did it this morning, and found it to be three rooms.

Update:

I've added berry locations for all the berries you can pick off of existing bushes in Sinnoh (prior to beating the E4). I'll add in the others as I get them.

I've also updated Mystery gift to reveal the disappointing truth behind it.

Shuko, just so you know, you can get the items Game System, Big Smoke Tool, Hole Tool, Pit Tool, Alert Tool 1, Alert Tool 2, Alert Tool 3, Alert Tool 4 and Rockfall Tool all from the Underground Goods Sellers. They are not in your current guide and could all be put under Devices and Machines on the list of Secret Base items.

Sweet! Thanks! I'll put them in right away. ^o^

After beating the E-4, I bought a Shuckle Doll from a Hiker in the Fight Area Underground for 56 Red spheres.
Awesome. I don't have any of the special stuff from the sellers under the fight area yet. :p All of those are welcome input, lol.

Also, I should tell you that the Game System is a Nintendo Wii like the one in your bedroom and tells you the total amount of points you(That is to say, the person who put the Game System down in the Secret Base) have.

EDIT: You also have missed a Backdrop called Fiery. You have one called Fiery Stage but there is also one called Fiery. It was one of my defaults but I presume you can get it as 4th prize in the lottery.

Eh, this is sort of a bump, but the organization of your Item FAQ (almost) makes my eyes bleed. Get rid of all of the unnecessary dashes ( - ) and put it in more of a list format, ie:

Hold Items
Item: Location
Item: Location
Etc.

Key Items
Item: Location
Etc.

Pokéballs
Etc.

Etc.

Much more easy to search, and it doesn't kill my eyes.

Do that, and it will be an unrivaled Item locating guide.

Ya, I noticed that today. The formatting of your list seems to have been destroyed. And T Meister, it used to be in that format, something just went wrong. But once you get the formatting back, it is an amazing guide, and I love useing it when I need to find an item.

See, this is something I don't understand. The formatting looks just fine for most people, since it's only 80 characters wide. You guys don't have a bunch of split panes or anything, do you? Is your resolution really small? You don't have your favorites window open on the side, do you?

It's only 80 chars wide, guys. This shouldn't be a problem, and it isn't for most people on normal browsers. o_0

Here are some decorative items I obtained from Underground Goods Traders that I don't see in the latest FAQ or in this thread:

Plusle Doll
Skitty Doll
Flower Tool

Also, I believe the English name for the Pokemon Center Flower and Pokemon Center Table are just Poké Flower and Poké Table, and the Boulder Tool is called Rockfall Tool.

I have a question about some of the decorative items. The Green Cushion, Big TV and Tableware shelves are listed as being available in the Veilstone Department Store, but I've never seen them for sale there (U.S. Pearl version). Are these items version exclusives, or only available at a certain point in the game? I appreciate any help in tracking down these decorations.

p.s. Great guide! It has been most helpful in aiding me to fill my inventory.

I don't know why it looks so bad on mine. When I first started using your guide, it looked fine on both of my computers. Now it looks wierd on both computers. I am useing a resolution of 1280 by 960 on one of my computers, and 1280 by 768 on my other computer. I tried changing the resolutions around and none of them worked.
