Unfortunately, yes. The only way to get Counter on a Regice is through the FireRed/LeafGreen & Emerald tutors.

What happens to a game file if the time hits 999:99

999:59 actually.
It simply stops counting. It won't affect the save file or the gameplay.

Judging by previous trends, there will probably at some point be a Wi-Fi event for the Azure Flute. Other than that, who knows what the future may bring?

You could always trade for one if you don't want to wait.

Yeah but will it be the same one that triggers the Dragon Trio event in HGSS?

Okay....

just a few days ago, I went to check on which pokemon were swarming , and I noticed it hadn't changed in three days. I went over to the "daily berry" girl and sure enough, she acted as if I had obtained a berry from her already when I hadn't gone to her in about three days. Basically, I think my platinum game has stopped registering the flow of time like that glitch that occurred in R/S/E where time kinda stopped after about 100 hours of gameplay. my game still can tell if it's night and day though, and it still records hours, but it's like it's having the same day over and over again. What should I do? Has this happened before?

Actually, it's not uncommon to see someone with things like that.

Did you Pal Park some pokes over with a GBA cartridge? I hear that using a new GBA cartridge will make them synch, and it takes a few days for the games to proceed normally.

Did you switch your D/P/Pt cartridge with another DS? The game synchs with the DS, and switching between those will take the game a day or two to proceed normally.

Did you mess around with the DS's clock? Daily stuff only change when 11:59 goes to 00:00, the game game won't recognize a new day if you skip that minute.

I pal parked pokemon recently but that was weeks ago and the problem only occurred a few days ago.

I did switch DS's (cuz' one DS was running low on power and I needed something done quick) so I suppose that might've been it. though I switched the DS's yesterday, not the 3-4 days ago the problem started.......

Oh well, I'll wait for a few days and see if anything changes.

Thanks though!

1. I'm pretty sure it's any rod.

2. For munchlax, you have a 1% chance of finding it one some of the honey trees.
...Go breed a Snorlax. Really.

Well... I know that while only Event Shaymin can let you redeem the Gracidea Flower, the one found in-game in Platinum would also let you get it (while the in-game ones from D/P wouldn't).

I assume the same would apply to Arceus- The Platinum Arceus would unlock the Platinum Arceus Event (and I would guess would therefore unlock the Hg/Ss one?).

Okay, I received a Shiny Oddish yesterday in a trade. It was from Hoenn. I didn't noticed anything and EV trained it and evolved it into Bellossom. I was leveling it up and I decided to check its stats, then I noticed something. Its pokedex number was red, not the usual black.

Can someone tell me the significance of a red pokedex number?

Just another indication that it's shiny.

Can a male pikachu/raichu with Volt Tackle pass it down to its babies if I breed it with a Ditto?

It probably will work, but if I had to guess, I'd say give one of them the Light Ball.

No- A light ball needs to be used again. Volt Tackle is not an egg move.
It is obtained via breeding, but it is still not an egg move.

I don't think so. Volt Tackle will only be passed down if both parents know it, and of course Ditto does not; therefore, it will not be passed down. As Foxyman said, you'd probably need to attach the Light Ball to one of the parents for it to work, which I'm assuming Raichu would have to.

Poop :( It has to be a female Pika/Raichu with light ball right? If so getting a good nature/good IVs is going to be a huge pain in the butt.

1. Any Rod.

2. 1 % on any 4 trees determined by your SID.

As long as it is an Event Arceus it will work.

Well... I know that while only Event Shaymin can let you redeem the Gracidea Flower, the one found in-game in Platinum would also let you get it (while the in-game ones from D/P wouldn't).

The one in D/P says "Met at Lvl. 30 at Flower Paradise" while the one in Platinum says "Had a Fateful Encounter at lvl. 30 at Flower Paradise."
