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...

    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
