Mistakes on Serebii.net V2

Facetious, thank you for making my altruistically-intended report of an error seem annoying and unnecessary.

Anyway, slightly bigger one that I think comes from Japanese translation...

Error: On the Diamond/Pearl Berries list page, it refers to Poffins as PokeBread over and over on all the different Poffin-ingrediant berries. I'm assuming that before the english games came out this list was written, using "PokeBread" because it was translated like that from the Japanese Games? Maybe I'm way off.

Praise Allah!
I have never been on such a slow forum! It took me 15min to load the forum, 15min to load the Serebii.net Discussion forum, 15min to load the Bug Topic, and now 15min to open the reply page! I'm sure I'll be waiting 15min for this to go through, too :s Jeez.

On-Topic

Victory Road Floor One has the wrong percentages. It shows Golbat & Graveler with 30% each, 10% for Ursaring/Dolphan (pending the version), 5% for Rhyhorn, and 15% for Onix, but that only adds up to 90%. You're missing 10% from the total on one of the Pokemon, but I'm not sure which. I'm thinking Onix is actually 25%, not 15%, or either Golbat/Graveler is 40%.

I'm not sure. I just know it adds to 90%, and not 100%.

If it's "Not Really A Mistake" then can you please not post it. Things are ordered by the database and their placement doesn't matter

I appreciate that you're helping but it is sort of infuriating to see "Not really an error" over and over and makes it harder to pinpoint actual errors

Plus, a few of the things you stated aren't actually errors

The encounter lists for Mt. Silver in HG/SS are all mixed up. Firstly, I'm pretty sure what you call 1F and 2F are the same thing since they're in the same map. The list for 2F is the correct one. On 3F, I ran into a Sneasel, which isn't listed.

Serebii, on the HGSS Gym Leaders Rematch page I saw you fixed the error in the part about Pryce and added that you need to beat the double battle in the Dragon's Den before you can Clair's number.

However, there are still a few things that need to be added to that page:
1. You have to have beaten Janine before you can get Falkner's number(I know this is true from first-hand experience).

2. You have to get all 16 badges before you can get Brock's, Misty's, and Blaine's numbers(I'm about 99% certain about this, however when asking about this on GameFAQs, one person claimed to have gotten those numbers before getting all 16 badges, but I've tried to get all three number and when I went to the right place at the correct time and day they didn't show up as the page says they should, but I can't think of anything else other than getting all 16 badges that you'd need to do get their numbers.)

3. You need to have all 16 badges before you can schedule rematches with the gym leaders.

4. When getting Lt. Surge's number, you must CAPTURE Zapdos, just defeating it won't allow you to get Lt. Surge's number.

Hmm, it's been over a week since the above was reported. I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed yet. Since they're both HGSS related, I thought they would have been given close to top priority. Oh well.

So I just got my national dex and I went to the SS Aqua and found a few trainers and looked at Pokearth to find they weren't on there.

1F:
Firebreather Lyle:
Koffing Lv 36
Koffing Lv (I accidently beat it instead of seeing its level so I would guess it would be the same as the other one)
Flareon Lv 39

Sailor Stanly
Machop Lv 39
Machoke Lv 41
Psyduck Lv 34

B1F
(Has near the same team as Juggler Fritz from GSC so I think that is his name but I skipped through it)
Mr. Mime Lv (same situation)
Magmar Lv 37
Machoke Lv 37

Sailor Jeff
Makuhita Lv. 40
Raticate Lv 40

Picknicker Debra
Seaking Lv 41

Also Note that for almost all of the trainers listed in that section, I never battled them and I looked everywhere it may have to do with whatever the J->K thing is but I didn't see any of those trainers in either of the J->K or J<-K. Also there may be others a lot of them I missed, but I didn't start looking at the Pokearth page until much later.

I say recheck the trainers on the SS Anne just incase and to make sure the trainers you have on there are correct.
