Bread with a ditto I just got through the GTS.

Oh ok :) Was just wondering. I may ask for one in the future :D

So what are you guy's teams?

Is is recommended to use all 3 starters in one Game (SS) and only 1 in the other (HG)?

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.

Same thing happened to me.

I used Charizard which knew flamethrower... and a Ditto which I caught on Pokemon Platinum.

When the Charmander hatched, it knew 2 upper level moves, and 2 entry moves.

Odd. Since they know those powerful moves as babies, do they eventually become "legal" at the level which they would normally know it?

I'm not sure I want to risk trying to trade my billions of super cyndaquils on the GTS if they can ban me or something, lol...

They are legal. It is implemented in Pok?mon games that pokemon can learn level up moves lower than expected. It is perfectly legal if obtained by non-hacked breeding :) It is how many people can even get egg-moves.

They are known as Egg Moves - the parent can pass on a high powered move if its male and mates with a female pokemon in the same egg type group. there is a list of egg groups on serebii.net - go there, it is THE HQ for poke info.

The male passes on his moves, the female passes on the pokemon type itself (aka species) and max IVs, as well as other things. I think thats how it works. You can breed say a Charmander and Torchic, but whoever the female is, itll be that pokemon in the egg. Thats why if you use a Ditto *genderless* with a male pokemon, you can't get higher IVs, as these are passed from the female, and there isn't one. You get Ditto's in this case.

Something like that!

Breeding for moves follows 3 rules after rule 0:

0) Moves that the baby normally learns from levels 1 to 5. They will be

born with these moves.

1) If the father (or a genderless parent breeding with a Ditto) knows

a TM that the baby can use, then the baby will be born with that move.

2) If the mother and the father know a move the baby can learn by

normal leveling-up, the baby will be born with the move.

3) If the father knows one of the baby's Egg moves, the baby will be

born with that move. Egg moves are the secret to getting a wide variety

of moves onto a Pokemon that would not have the move otherwise. As an

example, Zangoose can obliterate opponents using the Endure/Flail combo.

Flail is an egg move passed on from Dunsparce that Zangoose couldn't

otherwise learn.

Because ditto "clones" itself to be exactly the same, it knows the same moves.

You then end up with a mother and father (one being the Ditto) who both know the same moves.

This follows the mother and father rule... and is passed onto the newborn Pokemon.

Seems to make sense. Perfectly legit.

Oh! Well that makes sense :yes:

Thanks for the info! I was beginning to worry, lol.

Once again, thank you Kondrath! I got mine and I can't wait until it hatches. :p

lol, yup.

I've got like 20 more Cyndaquils, and one more egg. I'm done for now... So if anybody else wants a cyndaquil, lemme know.

Edit: Does anybody know if there's a GTS in Kanto? I could have sworn I saw one in Saffron city. Maybe I was dreaming...

I want one!! lol

I want one!! lol

Haha, sure thing. PM me your friend code and we can trade later. Apparently nobody wants cyndaquils on the GTS. I have over half a Box filled with Cyndaquils -__-

Free Cyndaquils for everyone!

I also just got a Charmander from Prof. Oak, so maybe I can breed that too if somebody wants one. I got a squirtle from my friend, but I think it was hacked. Summary says it was met at level 5 in the safari zone... :blink: But I can still breed that too, if someone wouldn't mind having a baby squirtle from a hacked parent, lol.

Does anyone know where to level up? I was hoping that the cave in cerulean city would be filled with "horribly powerful pokemon", but so far it's just 39-45... It's going to take forever to reach 100.

This might be strange to hear but how to do i find out my own code?

It's okay, for some reason all of my friends have asked me the same question. You have to talk to one of the ladies in the pokemon center. They'll give you something called the Pal Pad. When you open that up, it will show you yours and enable you to enter anyone else's, etc.

Now there asking my to use a Usb wifi connector... i didnt think i needed one since the game has a inbuilt wifi connector..

I kinda wish I had have bought a DS :( I so miss Pokemon and it's no where near as good on an emulator as it is on the actual device, nothing beats smashing that A button. Probs get the 3d DS in a years time or whatever and hopefully Pokemon will be in 3D!

Now there asking my to use a Usb wifi connector... i didnt think i needed one since the game has a inbuilt wifi connector..

o_O

You don't need a USB wifi connector... As long as you have wifi in your house and your DS can pick up the signal, you're good. Maybe head over to the GTS in Goldenrod and set up wifi there instead of a pokemon center. It won't work if you have WPA encryption, though. You need WEP in order to use your wireless.

Yeah i didnt have a WEP key only WPA one... its my friends router.. so thats how he had the settings >_< i got it fixed thou

Can give you a non hacked one if you want, its never been possible to get a Squirtle in the safari zone.

Ive got multiple hatched eggs of all the starters from generations 1 - 4 on my Diamond, i used to do a lot of trading on Nintendo Wi-fi and the starters usually got me what i wanted, Eevee's used to do quite well too :)

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but if you take the TRU Arceus to the Ruins of Alph [with nobody else in your party] and go to the Research Lab you'll trigger an event that'll net you a 'newborn' version of one of the D/P/Pt legendaries. I also have 2 or 3 of these Arceus up for grabs, so let me know if you want/need one.

I wouldn't mind one

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • 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 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.
