ok go to the game mechanics page and click on shiny pokemon youll see what i mean

EDIT i was wondering when you catch one of the dogs when you migrate it to pearl do its ivs get better or are they still 0/1
I don't see a thing about Trainer Cards. And no, IV's are always the same.

if you softreset it doesnt harm your game but if you turn it on and off it could delete your file
Don't post fake answers. It can't delete your file.

Hard-reseting (turning off the GBA) over and over again is bad for the battery and the system, but it won't hurt your game.

Ff Muffin to you...
Just a quick question really - do natures in FR/LG (flame body inparticular) have their added affects like they do in R/S/E and D/P? I.E, does having my Slugma with Flame Body next to an egg in my team make it hatch quicker?

Thanks in advance :)

No, the additional effects are only for Emerald (and Diamond/Pearl/Platinum) ;)

If this is real, then when you turn off your game then turn it on to continue playing later, you could lose your save file.

OT: What would be a good nature for a Squirtle, since I will restart Fire-Red once I finish Emerald and trading my Pokémon to Emerald?

I'm leaning towards + speed and - Defence nature, since I will need both Attack and Special attack, and Squirtle's speed is low. What is your opinion?

If you need both Attack and Special attack then there isn't much you can do, you can either lower Defense or Special Defense while raising Speed, or just pick a neutral nature =/

...so you have two accounts? That's not allowed. Don't do it.

The particular ID has nothing to do with how likely it is.

It basically just says that two of the numbers are derived from your ID/SID. Any number has the same chance of triggering a shiny... it's just giving some background information on how the numbers are generated. If you're still confused, don't worry about it, your ID/SID/Trainer Score/whatever does not affect your chances of getting a shiny in a positive or negative way

Go to the Ice Cave in the fourth Island. Get HM Waterfall, and use it to get through the waterfall into another section of Ice Cave. You'll have to beat the Rocket to get the second password. Then you can open the Warehouse.

Probably once the credits start. But why not just leave it on to be safe anyway?

But just before you see each Pokémon of your team it says "Saving... Don't turn off the power." then it shows your team.

Bit of a question. What are the movesets for Deoxys when you catch them? Both FR and LG, please. All I know is that they differ.
