I'm back, managed to get quite a few of those Arceus downloads (have quite a few copies of the game, brothers etc). I'm almost at the Elite Four with my Platinum game. Soon as I get that done, I'm going for as complete a Pokedex as I can, so will trade some of these Arceus I have spare (I only want 1 or 2). First offers go to the Neowin community!

Pokedex 493

Name: ARCEUS

Type: Normal

OT: MICHINA

ID No.: 02010

Level: 100

Item: Rowsap Berry

Moves:

Judgement - PP10

Normal, Special, Power 100, Accuracy 100

Description: The user releases countless shots of light. Its type varies with the kind of Plate the user is holding.

Roar of Time - PP5

Dragon, Special, Power 150, Accuracy 90

Description: The user blasts the foe with power that distorts even time. The user must rest on the next turn.

Spacial Rend - PP5

Dragon, Special, Power 100, Accuracy 95

Description: The user tears the foe along with the space around it. This move has a high critical-hit ratio.

Shadow Force - PP5

Ghost, Physical, Power 120, Accuracy 100

Description: The user disappears, then strikes the foe on the second turn. It hits even if the foe used Protect.

Pretty awesome!

I would love one if you can spare one. I don't have Platinum, so I can't get it. :(

I know this sounds a little weird, but please tell me the music in the game is a remix of the original GBC versions :p

Yup. I love the Goldenrod theme!

Also, I heard from somebody that there's an item to actually change the music to the original GBC versions...

Also, Pasty, I was thinking about doing that but I was too afraid that somebody would snag my pokemon before I got to it. Unless I did something insane like ask for a level 1 moltress lol.

Believe so.

Also, maybe it's just me, but I'm feeling the battles aren't laggy anymore like they were on Diamond/Pearl. Maybe it's just a sort of placebo effect, but that's how I feel at least.

LOL. I did that with pokemon red. Trained Charizard... He basically beat the entire league on his own. Haha, that made me remember when I first discovered the daycare man in Red, I gave him an oddish at the beginning of the game. I COMPLETELY forgot about it. After i had already beaten the pokemon league a few times, I just started wandering around the map and stumbled upon his little house. "What's this?"

Walked in and remembered... ... It cost me a fortune to get him back. Level 52 oddish became part of my team LOL.

Wow, that's me exactly, Charizard and all! Except it was a high level magikarp, not oddish. :p

If you have any left I would love one too, not really got anything super rare to offer though, on my HeartGold ive got all 3 starters I can breed if you need any of them.

My Squad at the moment:

I started with Chokorita, the other two starters i got by breeding someone else's starters with a Ditto, the Mew is from the Japaneese Nintendo Wi-fi event last November.

I've always felt that the Gold/Silver (and the remake) versions were the freshest. New game mechanics, interesting legendaries and stories, nostalgia factor (you get to see Kanto and battle the main character from the last game!). The fact that it was a sequel made it more fun than the unrelated games that followed.

Just a heads up to those playing... if you're looking to get Giratina on HG/SS, you can trade it over from Platinum. What you cannot do though is trade over the Griseous Orb which brings it out of defensive stance.

Apparently, the only way to do this is to have Arceus from the Arceus event. :pinch:

I've just discovered the wonders of breeding pokemon...lol. If anybody would like a Cyndaquill that already knows flamethrower at LEVEL 1 LOL, let me know. I can mass produce Cyndaquill eggs! Well, I have one hatched and 2 eggs right now, but I'll give one or two away if anybody wants one.

Edit: Now up to 2 Cyndaquills and 2 eggs.

This is going to help a bunch trading on the GTS :D

Edit again: My entire party (besides the one required) is composed of just cyndaquill eggs now :rofl:

I just bought Platinum a couple weeks ago ... Still playing it, then I will grab this. I've played Pokemon since it came out and always enjoyed them! I'm 27 now ... been so many years!

Platinum is quite fun :) There is around 15 legends you can get :D. So it is quite worth the buy. I bought it :)

Thank you. I got to figure out this friend code thing first then I will send you mine. :p

Haha - just open up the Pal Pad in the Key Items bag. If you haven't gotten it yet, talk to one of the ladies at the Pokemon Center and they'll give it to you.

So you were just breeding your starter pokemon (Cyndaquill) and when it hatched at level 1... it knew flamethrower?

It's not a hacked Pokemon? genuine bred, hatched from the egg?

I was wondering, because I was given a Charmander which had flamethrower at level 1, and I was told it was bred from a hacked Charizard.

I thought it was a bit unusual having flamethrower at level 1. Maybe they just keep the same moves as the "parent".

It's definitely genuine, unless Prof. Elm gave me a hacked Cyndaquill starter :rofl:

I think they learn their parents moves. It knows 2 of it's parents moves and 2 of it's original moves.

Edit: Though after checking Serebii, flamthrower and hidden power are not on the egg move list for Cyndaquil :wacko:

Just wondering who did you breed the Typlosion with. Because normally to learn level up moves it needs two parents both with Flame thrower. So ditto would not work I don't think. Just wondering.

Breed with a ditto I just got through the GTS.

Sigh, well I guess I have 15 illegitimate Cyndaquils now. I can't find anything on google about it knowing flamethrower / hidden power as a level 1...

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series. You can also support Neowin by registering for a free member account or subscribing for extra member benefits, along with an ad-free tier option.

      Yet you did exactly what they wanted you to do - is it better now without "Europrats"? BTW, UK had joined EU (EEC back then) and was one of the leading member states, it never joined Schengen Zone though 😉
