- Encountering a Roaming Pokemon (Exhample, Cresselia in platinum) whilst you're using the Poke'radar on a glowing tuft of grass.

No; this one is impossible. If you are making a chain of defeated/caught Pokémon with the Poké Radar, roaming Pokémon can't appear in a glowing sparkling patch of grass (those which contain a shiny Pokémon) but only the species you're chaining. Shininess -as well as nature, IVs, etc.- for a roaming Pokémon is decided the moment you go to its base location and make it run (Fullmoon Island->Cresselia, Verity Lake->Mesprit, Professor Oak in Eterna City->Legendary Birds), and won't change when it switches locations.

I'm fast running out of storage space in my PC boxes on Pokémon Platinum; what are my options for getting any more space?

As far as I can tell, the only product Nintendo have released thay might help is My Pokémon Ranch, but the update that makes it compatible with Platinum is a Japan exclusive... Does Pokémon Battle Revolution offer any storage space a la Pokémon Stadium?

Or am I just not going to be able to get any more Pokémon in my game?

You need either another version (that would require two DS) or purchase My Pokémon Ranch and use it with a Diamond/Pearl cart; Pokémon Battle Revolution only copies your storage system as it is on the game and doesn't have the option of transfering your Pokémon.

Get rid of the pokemon you don't need/want.

Having one of each Pokémon plus all of Unown's forms leaves 20 spaces for competitive teams, shinies, events, etc... Not really enough.

Well, I can't see myself buying another DS, another version of pretty much the game I've already got and a Wiiware title just for some storage space. Maybe I'll get lucky and Nintendo will decide to give the rest of us the MPR update someday.

I didn't realize that having every form of Unown was so important you could bear to part with them.

Of course, I ask this when it no longer means anything to me, but when you purify a shadow Pokemon in XD: Gale of Darkness, is the nature determined as you purify, or when you snagged the shadow Pokemon? (It means nothing to me in the sense that I can't utilize it as I have snagged/purified all shadow Pokemon.)

Nature is determined upon snagging (or obtaining in the case of Togepi) the Pokémon. I think certain natures are affected differently by the different means of Purification (such as calling or Cologne massaging).

Your question is "How" right? You will only need your Secret ID and a program called RNG Reporter..

You should at least understand about 80% from here.. Then if you still can't make it or don't understand, I will try to answer.. I am not that pro though.. XP

I have a question: I'd love to play 'pokemon ranger: shadows of almia', but doesn't it make scratches on your touch-screen? I really am afraid of that o_O

It depends on how you use it. You can make the capture lines by just brushing the screen lightly, which wouldn't cause any damage. Unfortunately, many people (myself included) get thoroughly overexcited and press down much too hard, which will cause damage. If you're careful and don't press too hard you will be fine; but if you are that concerned, there are screen protectors which you can buy and place on the touchpad. It will still recognize the stylus, but it won't be damaged.

Screen protectors void your warrenty. . So you know, be careful.

I'm having trouble with a couple of events that are supposed to happen after the Elite Four are defeated.

Now, I know the game is working properly since the Battle Frontier opened after I beat them the first time. However, going through them again doesn't have them at their "post-Elite Four" status with their Pokemon all about 15 levels higher... they're still the same levels as the first time around.

Also, when attempting to get Arceus with the Azure Flute (totally NOT hacked... ... ... ... ...okay, it was), stepping out onto the Spear Pillar does not activate the flute event. When I attempt to use it, Rowan yells at me... in my head.

Do I need to do something else such as (ugh) beat the Battle Frontier? I thought it'd be a simple task for these events to occur. Thanks!
