Traded Pokemon




Posted by Linko_16

I planned ahead of time on my game to catch a Chatot, since I need a Pokemon who can learn Fly and I didn't want something as uninteresting as a Starly. As I got into the game, however, some research showed that I wouldn't be finding wild Chatot until well after my seventh gym badge. I thought it was a life saver when I found someone near the beginning of the game willing to trade one for a Buizel, and it didn't even have that goofy of a nickname.

Problem is that the **** thing's nothing but trouble. I knew that they sometimes don't listen, but I've never traded for a Pokemon to go on my main team before and didn't know just how bad it could be. It literally follows orders about one in three times, and that's if it doesn't fall asleep. I'm going to get murdered if I ever get in a serious battle.

So, will it ever learn to trust me, or is it a lost cause? I could get a Drifblim instead, but the **** thing's so goofy-looking.

How many badges do you have? Plus, it's probably worth it for the 1.5x XP boost.

Right now, just one. I keep my Pokemon leveled-up much higher than necessary.

I'm thinking I'll just forget it and go with Drifblim.

I disapprove.

I know, Chatot was pretty **** cool. :(

It doesn't evolve though, which always annoys me. Pok

That doesn't bother me - it almost seems like a well balanced team to have a little guy next to the big, bad powerhouses.

EDIT - You get the same disobedience from Pokemon from other games, right? Not just from the ones traded within the game?

All traded Pokaymans.

Meh, figured as much. Oh well.

Now my entire Pokemon team is going to be purple. :(

Heh.

SPEAKING OF TRADES. I am in need of a Turtwig.

I have one, I just can't give you it until I secure its PKRS on another Pok

Kk. Will you be needing anything specific in return? Or just fodder.

ARCEUS SHINY PKRS WITH MASTER BALL

I just beat the next Gym Leader and now it listens to me perfectly. I think maybe the level cap for Pokemon obedience is 10 levels lower for traded Pokemon; as in, my first Gym badge had Pokemon obeying me up to level 20, but for my traded Chatot, it only went up to level 10. Now that I have another one, it will listen to me up to 20... which is a shame, 'cause it's already up to 19.

I'll level it past 20 and see what happens.

I'm pretty sure second badge is 30 for all pokemon. I could be wrong, though.

[quote=Merriland's Pokemon Guide]After beating her, you will receive the Forest Badge, which lets you use Cut
outside of battle, and makes it so traded Pokemon up to Level 30 will obey
you.

I was wondering why all my ordinary pokemon were listening to me, despite their high levels. This new game is completely whack.

It'll be irritating trying to keep Charap under level 30 until my fourth gym badge, which will up the level cap to 50.

Fourth gym is a long time away. Good luck with that. :o

I really wish I had trained more during the actual quest and not just doing it before the Elite 4. Game's gettin' kind of boring. I've been doing a lot of team changes just to keep it interesting.
