| Introduction ~Intr1~ |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I decided while I was playing Pokemon Platinum to keep notes of different
daily events because I always forgot where key characters such as the
Name Rater were. And suddenly I realized, hey maybe if I think some of these
things are useful, maybe someone else could find them useful as well.
Some of the places and characters noted most people won't have a use for but
I just included them because they felt left out. Also, specific TM places
and items you need to progress aren't noted because you'd be forced to find
those anyway or are better documented in other guides.
This is also my first and probably only FAQ.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Intended Usage ~Usag1~ |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not a walkthrough of the main game. This is not an item guide.
This is just a reference for those times when you wonder "Where are the
shard tutors again? Where's that guy that deletes moves?" Or things you might
have entirely passed by such as Old Chateau.
I had to make up names for some characters because I don't actually know what
title they really have. I don't really use cardinal directions in this guide.
I decided to stick with simple up, down, up-left, etc directions.
You can use CTL+F to search this guide based off of the codes above or maybe
something specific that you are looking for like the "Name Rater." If you
search Name Rater, you can find where he is fairly easily. I would not advise
searching for exact phrase or matching case.
This guide is for POKEMON PLATINUM ONLY. Some stuff may be consistent with
Diamond and Pearl but I won't guarantee which ones.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Main Guide ~Main1~ |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Before Elite Four Places~~~~~B4E41~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are places that have events that can be accessed before the Elite Four is
defeated. They still include things that can be accessed after the Elite Four.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jubilife City~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~JubCi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Make-A-Group Man-in front of Jubilife TV Station, by a fountain
He just allows you to make a group and join one with someone you've mixed
records with.
Pokemon Lottery Corner (daily) - inside Jubilife TV Station
Win prizes based off of how close a Pokemon you have in your possession
matches the random lotto number (includes Pokemon you have in boxes)
Mystery Gift - inside Jubilife TV Station, 3rd floor
Go to Jubilife TV 3rd floor and talk to TV Producer
Opition of TV: Everyone Happy
Feedback on TV: Wi-Fi Connection
Mystery Gift will now appear on your title screen. Gifts you receive through
MG can be picked up at any Pokemart, depending on the event it could be a
Pokemon (so you may have to have a slot free) or a key item. For the "normal"
person, the option you'd be most interested in is the "Get Via Nintendo WFC."
If you have a mystery gift, you will have an option for "Check Card." I hear
you can hold up to three of these cards.
(partial thanks to CDGamer.)
Trainer's School - to the left of the Pokemon Center
Just in case you forget some of your Pokemon knowledge
Global Terminal - far left of the Pokemon Center
There's a lot in here but your game manual talks about most of those.
Outside of the GTS and various things you do with your VS Recorder, there's
a Message to the world guy (1st floor)that allows you to make a statement
that goes on your profile if you're doing one of the previous things.
There's also a place to register your location. You can only do this once,
you don't even have to do it at all really.
There's also a "beauty" looking lady who will give you a backdrop (daily)
List from thebattleax: Ranch, City at Night, Snowy Town, Outer Space,
Cumulus Cloud, Desert, Future Room, Open Sea,Total Darkness, Tatami Room, and
Gingerbread Room.
Near the water fountains in from of the Global Terminal
There's a guy that asks you what type of Pokemon you like. Honestly worthless
in my opinion. This eventually shows up in a TV interview I think.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Oreburgh City~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~OreCi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oreburgh Mining Museum - up and right from the Pokemon Center
Makes pokemon from fossils that you may have dug up in the underground
or gotten through trade

Man trades shards for star pieces
tradable in 1 or 10 increments; for every one star piece you give him you get

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eterna Forest~~~~~~~~~~~~~~EteFo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Old Chateau - Rotom (1 time only Special Night Pokemon)
Some argue that its not a legend because you can breed it...
Who cares? Catch it or faint it anyway!
Secret Event - The Ghosts of Old Chateau
At night time in game, you can occasionally see a ghost in Old Chateau.
There's only two that I know of. The first is the old man. He appears in the
first floor dining room.
The second is a small girl. She is on the second floor. In the area with
5 rooms, she appears in the 1st room (counting from the right end). HOWEVER!,
you must be in the room with the eyes (second from the right) in order to see
her. There are no limits on how many times you can see them but their
encounter rate isn't very high so you may have to reenter a room several times
to get them to appear.
thebattleax adds: Nighttime in game is from 8:00PM-4:00AM.
I have seen one as early as 7:46 (19:46 in game) so I guess Evening counts too.

Bebe's House - to the right of the Pokemon Center
She gives you an Eevee. Also changes the name of PC's from Someone's PC to
Bebe's PC.
Contest Hall - for Pokemon Contests
Amity Square East Gate- go for a walk with "cute" Pokemon. I'd like to
specifically note the East Gate (right). There's a janitor hanging somewhere
around in here but you must use these special hidden teleports in
"ancient sand castles" to reach him. His location changes day by day.
You cannot just walk inside them to get to him.
The inside of the sand castles follows this format. Each "[]" is a block. The
one with the X in it is the one you should use to reach him. You might reach
him by going left but it is harder because it loops between two specific
locations. By going right, it might take a little longer but you'll definitely
reach him.
[][][x]
[]
According to thebattleax, the janitor gives out:
five of one type of berry #27-35 or one of these accessories(there may be more)
Mini Pebble, Glitter Boulder, Black Pebble, and Thick Mushroom.
Permitted Pokemon to gain entrance into Amity Square are:
Turtwig, Grotle, Torterra, Chimchar, Monferno, Infernape, Piplup, Prinplup,
Empoleon, Pikachu, Clefairy, Psyduck, Pachirisu, Happiny, Buneary, Drifloon,
Jigglypuff, Torchic, Skitty, and Shroomish.
You can find a certain accessory item based off of what kind of Pokemon
you brought with you.
Pokemon Fan Club - odd looking house with a Heart over it
-Pokemon Fan Club president will give you a Poffin Case
-His "assistant" checks your Pokemon's happiness, useless if you have the
Happiness checker Pokemon app (both thanks to thebattleax)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Solaceon Town~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SolTo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pokemon Daycare
Leave up to two Pokemon here to allow them to gain levels and experience.
Also used to breed Pokemon.
News Press (daily) - get random Poke balls and a Heart Scale for
bringing them whatever Pokemon they request.
Zeldafan77 adds this: "the guy will ask you for a random Pokemon from the
Sinnoh Dex, not the National Dex, and it does not matter whether you�ve seen
it or not because he once asked me for Giratina when I only had about 5 badges"
thebattleax also adds: This is the only place with a chance to get
Dive balls, other than importing them through Pal Park.
Seal Boy - show him Unown that you catch and get a letter based off of that
Unown.
Solaceon Ruins - catch Unown in here
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Route 210~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rt210~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cafe Cabin - buy Moo Moo Milk and have a few battles(battles are one time only)
Grandma Wilma's House - in a house in the foggy area to the right of

a bonus accessory item for contests or photos
Coin case-in the house to the right of massage lady; clown
Pick a hand, you'll get the case either way.
Veilstone City Game Corner
Go here to gamble uselessly in Pokemon. The prizes are nice though if you
have the money or patience to buy/earn enough coins.
If you get 10+ bonus rounds in the Game Corner, you will get TM64 Explosion.
(thanks to thebattleax)
Prize Exchange (right beside the game corner)
There's a man inside who will tell you what the hidden power type of your
Pokemon. Does not work for Pokemon who cannot actually learn Hidden Power.

to say about you. If they are happy enough, he will give that Pokemon a ribbon.
Try bringing different Pokemon like Dunsparce or Porygon-Z to see what he says.
Zeldafan77 adds that MAX friendship is required to get this ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Pastoria City~~~~~~~~~~~~PasCi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Great Marsh (or Safari Zone) - Inside a guy gives free shards (Daily)

you get a scarf based off that maxed out stat.

Free Berry (daily) - House nearest west exit
The types of berries you get here are the "super-effective attack weakening"
berry type.
(thanks to thebattleax for the super-effective note. I never noticed that.)
Secret Event - Croagunk Sighting
Sometimes a Croagunk appears when you put your face through the back of the
Croagunk sign in front of the Great Marsh. (Just in case, the back meaning
your character's face should be visible through the sign). You will hear the
sound of a Croagunk. It will look around and disappear into the marsh.
RUMOR CONTROL:
You DO NOT have to be on your bike.
You CAN do it after beating Stark Mountain.
You do NOT have to start a Safari Game.
You do NOT have to beat the Pokemon League again to make it happen again.
My method:
Fly to town (or load save). Run/ride to sign. If it doesn't work. Run inside
the Great Marsh Observatory Gate and immediately run out (do NOT start a
Safari Game). Run/ride to sign again. Repeat as many times as necessary.
Have patience. It might not appear on your first few times. Give it at least 20
before giving up. This is MY Method. This doesn't mean this is the only way.
(thanks to Zeldafan77 for informing me about this event)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Route 212~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rt212~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shard House
Pokemon Mansion - includes 5 Maid Exact Turn Knockout Challenge (daily)
Rare candy trick from thebattleax
"If you KO them in their randomly generated turn parameters (5 clefairies
for 5-9 turns), you can battle a lv35 Blissey, which provides almost 2000 EXP.
But what's really surprising is the held item: Rare Candy.
You must use trick/switcheroo/thief/covet to get it, however, and there is
the omnipresent fear of Blissey using Fling, getting rid of the Rare Candy.
(You didn't think this would be easy, would you?). Other than spending a
whopping 48 BP on a single Rare Candy, this is the only way to get unlimited
ones, and it is Platinum-exclusive."**
**pbob would like to point out that you can also get unlimited rare candies
if you're lucky with a Pokemon with the ability pickup. The Pokemon with this
ability are Meowth, Aipom, Teddiursa, Phanphy, Zigzagoon, Linoone, Parchirisu,
Ambipom, and Munchlax. Though tecnically, this is NOT platinum exclusive.
Levels and your percentage chances:
21-30: 3%
31-40: 5%
41-100: 10%
There's a lot more things you can get with this ability but I decided that is
better noted in other guides ^-^;;
(after national dex) - Talk to Mr. Backlot
add one pokemon to the Trophy Garden everyday
although you can get the same type more than once includes:
Azurill, Castform, Chansey, Cleffa, Clefairy, Ditto, Eevee, Happiny,
Jigglypuff, Marill, Minun, and Plusle
Picture of Manaphy - you can find a picture of Manaphy for your Sinnoh Dex
in the same room as Mr. Backlot. (thanks to Zeldafan77)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Celestic Town~~~~~~~~~~~~~CelTo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pokemart House - guy with glasses gives the following once during following
periods of day:
Choice specs (morning), Blackglasses (day), and Wise Glasses (night)
There is a guy in the Pokemon Center on the left side who will
give you a daily Great Ball if your lead Pokemon is friendly with you
(2 hearts small or big on the Friendship App on the Poketch).
(thanks to Zeldafan77)
(after national dex) -In Celestic, you can unlock Dialga and Palkia appearing
at Spear Pillar by talking to Cynthia's Grandmother. You will need to find the
Adamant Orb and the Lustrous Orb (found at Mt. Coronet by using waterfall) and
have it with you when you go to Spear Pillar. For specific details on this, see
a full walkthrough. (thanks to Zeldafan77 and puenboy)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Canalave City~~~~~~~~~~~~~CanCi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Move Deleter - house down (south) from the Pokemon center
This is the guy you go to if you need to delete any move including HMs.
Canalave Library - yay reading!
Sailor Eldritch's House (and Canalave Dock)
Go here for your all access pass to Iron Island
or Fullmoon Island (after National Dex)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Iron Island~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IroIs~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riley - partner with him and earn a Riolu egg for your efforts. Really he's not
very missable unless you barely explored Iron Island at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Route 221~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rt221~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Old Man (daily) - in the only house on this route near Pal Park.
Gives you one of the below items if you show him Pokemon of a certain level.
They are: Black Belt, Expert Belt, and Focus Sash.
Pal Park. However this place is useless until after you beat the Elite Four
so I give it its own section in the Post Elite Four Events.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Snowpoint City~~~~~~~~~~~~~SnoCi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trade - Medicham for Haunter (the Haunter comes with an everstone)
Shard man/Trendy Saying Man
The Trendy Saying Man gives you words that go in the "Tough Words" category
whenever you get to give feedback (like typing a letter or answering an
interview in game). There are a total of 32 words you can get from him.
(thanks to Michel Dijkstra and Zeldafan77)
(after Elite Four) - ship to the "Battle Zone"
Really only useful on the first trip. Otherwise, you'd probably use fly.
Snowpoint Temple - after National Dex
Regigigas is caught here if you have caught Regice, Registeel, and Regirock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Route 222~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rt222~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pokemon Size Contest - a Fisherman who wants to see a really big Remoraid
Pikachu Fan Club - a Pokemanic with a passion for Pikachus...
One of the Pikachus is actually a Poke Kid so prepare for battle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sunyshore City~~~~~~~~~~~~~SunCi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

matter what "story" you tell her.
Sunday - Smile, Monday - Alert, Tuesday - Shock, Wednesday - Downcast,

A House accessible only by Rock Climb
Scientist gives Poketch apps for certain natures.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sandgem Town~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SanTo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Professor Rowan's Lab
(after Pokemon League) - come here to get the national dex if you've seen
all 210 Sinnoh Pokemon
Dawn/Luca's House
(after national dex) - sister tells you where a pokemon swarm is
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Pal Park~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~PalPa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Migrate Pokemon from Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Firered, and Leafgreen. (daily)
Sort of. You can only migrate 6 Pokemon from a game pak once every 24 hours. If
you have more than one game pack, you can migrate 6 per game pack. But you must
catch all six from any given pack (and save) before you can do it again. You
get a free berry based off your catching score.
**of some note, messing with the DS clock forfeits and restarts the 24 hour
wait even if you didn't migrate during that day. And the 24 hours doesn't start
until you attempt to migrate those Pokemon again. So if you mess with your DS
clock at 7:00 PM and forget to attempt to migrate until 10:00 PM then you can't
migrate until 10:00 PM again after the game "adjusts" to the change.
Anyway, that's a little too much for this guide. There are more detailed guides
dedicated to this. Now for this guide:
A girl on the first floor (to the left of the entrance) - she wants to see
two a Snorlax and a Kecleon (in that order). She'll give you Poketch Apps.
The Kitchen Timer (Snorlax) and Color Changer (Kecleon).
On the second floor, a girl will give you a things depending on which pack you
have in. Crown - Firered, Tiara - Leafgreen, Seafloor - Sapphire,
Sky - Emerald, and Underground - Ruby.
(thanks to Zeldafan77 for pointing at that I should've added this,
used CAHowell's Diamond guide for reference on the 2nd floor girl)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Spring Path~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SprPa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turnback Cave
Okay technically, you get to see this area before beating the Elite Four but
Cynthia blocks your way to getting back in. That's where the Griseous Orb is.
Turns Giratina into the Origin form. And allows you to visit Distortion World
one more time. Although this time around, you can't explore as much.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Victory Road~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~VicRo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Victory Road 2 / Route 224
Similar situation as above. A guy blocks your way until you beat the Elite Four
You get to partner with Marley and gain access to Route 224 as your reward.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Fight Area~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FigAr~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Super Rod from Fisherman (after national dex)
"Item Expert" - southernmost house
He explains basic information about some competitive battle items:
Lum Berry, Focus Sash, Expert Belt, Life Orb, Choice Scarf, Choice Band,
Choice Specs, and Leftovers. Useful if you forgot exactly how much certain
items boost your attack, heal, and so on. (thanks to thebattleax)
Battle Frontier - contains Battle Tower, Hall, Factory, Castle, and Arcade
Your versus recorder gets upgraded to tell you how many battle points you've
earned and display "prints" you've earned on the Battle Frontier.
Also, there's a scratch-off lottery card game. You can get either one nugget,
three of the EV-reducing, happiness-boosting berries, or super-effective
type weakening berry. (thanks to thebattleax)
Battle Tower - special mention here. The only one of the facilities that has
wifi features and multi battles with a computer partner. Also, the only one
where you can work with a friend from Diamond or Pearl (and of course Platinum)
There's also a judge (scientist sprite) he makes two statements about your
Pokemon's IVs.
According to slg369
(The first statement)
If the IV total is between 0 and 90:
"This Pokemon's potential is decent all around."
If the IV total is between 91 and 120:
"This Pokemon's potential is above average overall."
If the IV total is between 121 and 150:
"This Pokemon has relatively superior potential overall."
If the IV total is between 151 and 186:
"This Pokemon has outstanding potential overall."
(The second statement)
If the highest IV is between 0 and 15: "It's rather decent in that regard."
If the highest IV is between 16 and 25: "It's very good in that regard."
If the highest IV is between 26 and 30:"It's fantastic in that regard."
If the highest IV is 31: "It can't be better in that regard."
Wi-fi Quotes man (also in Battle Tower)
There is a person (has the school kid appearance) who can change what you say
when you appear on someone else's game through Wi-fi Battle Tower. There's
"before battle", "upon winning", "upon losing", and "becoming No. 1" statements
(thanks to thebattleax)
Battle Hall - INCOMPLETE/TOO LARGE Unfortunately
This particular area is unusual as you can get BP indirectly from battling even
without winning. There's a guy standing beside the two monitors that show your
records for your challenges here. He will give you BP for reaching certain
benchmarks with your OVERALL wins. I don't remember the numbers before 100
total but after that...
100-450 total: get 5 bp every 50 matches (starting with 100)
500-? total: get 10 bp every 100 (starting with 500) sadly I've only made it
to 632 at time of writing and I probably won't progress further for awhile.
Sent from Zeldafan77:
"Depending on how many consecutive wins you have, you will gain Fans.
If your main character is a boy (Lucas), your major fan will be
Serena (a girl). If your main character is a girl (Dawn), your major fan will
be Winston (a boy). Their dialogue changes as you advance in overall wins.
Visiting fan - You'll also get visitors cheering you on in the lobby. If your
total record is over 500, you get Dawn/Lucas. Over 1000 you get Dawn/Lucas or
your mother; and over 10,000 you get Dawn/Lucas, your mother, Professor Oak,
or Jasmine." Of these I can only confirm Serena because I've never played as
a girl and because I'm not nearly good enough to get close to 500.
If/when you get over 10,000 consecutive wins you get Dawn/Lucas and your
mother for sure and either Oak or Jasmine, or if it is either Dawn/Lucas OR
your mother OR Professor Oak OR Jasmine. I got this information from the
guidebook."
From author:
I'll try to make it to 1000 so I can clarify this a bit but this might be
awhile. Also if you do make it to 500, as with a lot of other things, there's
only a CHANCE of Dawn/Lucas appearing (they'll be seated beside the idol in
front of the TV) AFTER you win or lose a challenge. They do not appear upon
entry into the Battle Hall and they disappear if you leave the BH or start
a new challenge (though they may technically reappear once that challenge is
finished).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Survival Area~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SurAr~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shard man - access from Route 226 (requires Rock Climb)
He also has a book that gives a hint as to why certain Shard Tutors like
certain colored shards.
Battleground (after completing the Stark Mountain mission) (daily)
Fight gym leaders and "special" trainers here. The special trainers are any of
the double battle partners you may have teamed with during the course of the
game so Riley, Buck, Cheryl, Marley, and Mira.
**Of some note** The number of trainers you get to fight are from 2 and 4. No
more than 3 are gym leaders, and there's only one special trainer at a time.
And it's decided randomly the first time you enter in a day. So save before you
enter and reset if you don't like who you're facing or don't have the maximum
number of opponents.
Rival Level Up - Special note from Zeldafan77:
In the Survival Area, your Rival stands right outside the Battleground every
day and says random stuff. If you talk to him on Saturday or Sunday you will
get to battle him.
http://serebii.net/platinum/rival.shtml says that there are three phases.
In Phase 1, his Pokemon are levels 59-65, which the Guidebook and I agree with.
According to the site, in Phase 2 his Pokemon are levels 69-75, which I cannot
confirm because of the Guidebook (I�ll explain in a bit).
In Phase 3, the last phase, his Pokemon are levels 79-85, which I also agree
with. Because the site says they do not know how you upgrade each phase and
the fact that the Guidebook says His Pokemon have gained 12-14 levels, and
if you�ve entered the Hall of Fame more than 20 times, they�ll be even
stronger. (the first part talks about Phase 1 and the last part talks about
Phase 3) I believe that on your first visit to the Survival Area, providing
you have not yet entered the Hall of Fame more than 10 times, his Pokemon
will be at Phase 1. This leads me to believe that you can get Phase 2 after
entering the Hall of Fame at least 11 times. Therefore, Phase 3 will be after
21 times. The book told me that I needed to enter more than 20 times.
By the time I had done so, I had not seen Phase 2 and so the next time I
battled my rival, it was Phase 3. This is just a theory but whatever.
(JER_Y confirms the Phase 2 information)

He teaches an "ultimate move" to the final evolution of every starter Pokemon.
Also, note that they must have max happiness (thanks to Zeldafan77). The moves
are Blast Burn (for fire), Frenzy Plant (for grass),

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Resort Area~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ResAr~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ribbon Syndicate - Get your Pokemon massaged here (daily)
From a reader, Zeldafan77
"you need a Total of 10 different ribbons to get in, not 45. You do not even
have to do any contests, just a ribbon for each day of the week from Juila,
the Effort Ribbon for max EVs, the Footprint Ribbon for Friendship
(2 big or small hearts I believe, might be max though), and the Sinnoh Champ
Ribbon (they do not have to all be one Pokemon but I do believe the six
Pokemon in your current party combined have to have them all).
(JER_Y also sent similar info)
And from me, I'd like to say that although I do see a lot of people saying that
you must have 10 different ribbons on a single Pokemon, I've gotten in and I
have never had a Pokemon on this version with more than 9 ribbons on it (and
one of those came from the Ribbon Syndicate so that means 8). That's why I
support the 10 different ribbons among your current party theory.
Get your own villa
The villa is free but most items are not. You unlock more items at certain
in game achievements. Random people show up to check on your villa as
well. Some bust in, some wait outside, and some are already there.
I also noticed something recently: your visitor is set from the first time you
load a save that day, so soft resetting can help you see someone different if
you desire. But the first time you save that day, even if you don't visit your
Villa, the visitor is then set for that day.

| Wifi Legendary Events ~WLgEv~ |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has come to my attention that the next round of Legendary Events have
started being distributed over wifi. So the Rotom event I had listed as
SECRET KEY in the Jubilife City section has been renamed Mystery Gift instead
as it is the key to all other events, and the secret key is no longer being
given out, I believe. So for now and future reference, here's all that I know.
Go to a Pokemart and talk to a guy that appears near a counter (but not behind
it) to receive any of these if you have received the appropriate gift. This
is likely not the full list by the way.
Rotom - Secret Key (expired in US). See Eterna City for full details as I
already wrote about this one.
Darkrai - Member's Card (expired in US, thanks zerathegamer). Go to
Canalave City's Harbor Inn (north of Pokemon Center).
Arceus - Azure Flute (not in US so far) - Go to Spear Pillar.
Arceus (2)? - coming November 7th to 15th, Toys R Us, United States
and Puerto Rico, I'm not for sure if this will be an Azure flute one or not
so I've listed it as a second Arceus
Shaymin - Oak's Letter (in US now, Sept 28 to November 8) - Go
to the end of Route 224 where there is a stone slab. Also, I'd be careful with
what you enter as "your thanks" to the stone slab. It's permanent. So choose
wisely unless you really do want "Bacon Bits" to stay there forever.
Bonus: Sky forme vs Land forme, with Shaymin in your party, go to Floaroma Town
and a lady will give you the Gracidea Flower.
Rules from Pokemon.com: Use the Gracidea Flower on Shaymin, its a key item so
it can be used more than once to turn in into Sky Forme. When night falls,
when it is frozen it battle, when it is deposited in a PC box, or traded,
it will revert to land forme.
12th Movie Arceus - given directly to you (Japan only?) - Also unlocks the
"Philosopher" Hiker detailed in the Random Sightings section.
Pikachu Colored Pichu - given directly to you (Japan only?) - This may be
outside the scope of this guide but I hear you should NOT evolve this due
to some connection to Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
This knowledge is generally targeted towards fellow readers with Platinum in
the USA. Maybe certain events are still around or coming to other countries.
Diamond and Pearl don't matter here.
(thanks to CDGamer for the original Mystery Gift and Secret Key; thanks to
Galon for telling me that Darkrai was out; Now I can have my own!; thanks to
Jordan for the 12th Movie Arceus and Pikachu Colored Pichu though I still
partially disagree with how you have those cards DX; thanks to zerathegamer for
telling me the Darkrai event was over and spurring me to look up info about
the Shaymin event and the next Arceus event; and Zeldafan77 for originally
telling me to include more events. I ignored it for the longest because I
didn't know that US events for Platinum weren't over)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Random Sightings ~RanSi~ |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok. This section is pretty incomplete as I don't know how many or how often
you can encounter these characters. Some characters can be seen before or after
beating the Elite Four. These sightings are for characters outside of where
you might normally find them (for example, Professor Rowan at his lab doesn't
count) and characters hanging at your villa do not count either. Storyline
relevant encounters are also a no no (anytime you're forced to see Cynthia to
progress the story).
-STATIC (stays in same area)-
Looker: I've seen him in Veilstone Game Corner. I think he's there everyday.
(confirmed by JER_Y)
Cyrus's Grandfather: Route 228. House near the berry patch (requires using
fourth gear on your bicycle). He is a non-special sprite character but I
thought he was interesting.
Cynthia's Grandmother: Celestic Town, biggest house. She serves a purpose
noted elsewhere. (suggested by JER_Y)
Saturn - Galactic Veilstone HQ - although I can't say at which point in the
game it is that he remains here. (thanks to thebattleax)
-HIT N' RUN (one time only; leaves afterwards)-
Rowan: I've seen him on the bottom floor of Veilstone Department Store.
(according to JER_Y, this is also a one time only event which is why I haven't
seen him again).
Gardenia: Eterna Forest - outside the "cut" trees of Old Chateau. I think this
is one that's not storyline relevant. I did it a long time ago so I don't
clearly remember.
Byron: Iron Island - House. Gives you a metal coat. (thanks to JER_Y for
correcting me)
-FIRST TIME (but NOT storyline forced)
Roark: The first time you go into the underground. (thanks to JER_Y)
Candice: Snowpoint Temple - first time you try to enter it after obtaining
the National Dex (suggested by JER_Y)
Crasher Wake and Barry (rival) - a certain part of Route 227 on the way
to Stark Mountain your first time - this is forced on you but TECHNICALLY
optional (suggested by thebattleax)
-ELITE FOUR (they return every time you beat them again)-
Cynthia: Celestic - Cave Painting. Go up to the cave painting and examine it.
She will run after you and start to tell you a long story. She doesn't give you
anything for it so you don't have to listen to the whole thing but that would
be rude of you.
Lucian: Canalave Library. Says one of up to five possible different quotes.
Soft resetting can help you see them all if you're bored.
(thanks to thebattleax)
-OTHER (doesn't fit well anywhere else)-
Contest Hall - Master Rank - occasionally the following characters are
participants:
Johanna (your mom) with her Jumpy (Kangaskhan),
Fantina with her Loony (Drifblim),
and Jasmine with her Rusty (Steelix). (thanks to Zeldafan77)
"Philosopher" Hiker (Oreburgh Mine, then off to Canalave Library second floor)
The Hiker can only be seen if you have the special Arceus from the 12th movie
giveaway. I don't know if trading for it counts but I did have it in my box
when I encountered him, I did NOT have it in my party. He fills extra shelves
with the engraved text on the back of the plates you found around Sinnoh.
After you encounter him at Oreburgh Mine, if you visit Canalave Library's
second floor you will be forced to listen to him (or reset).
(partial credit to thebattleax)
I wonder is this all of them finally? Let me know if somehow I've missed
someone worth noting. If I can confirm it, I'll put it in here with credit to
you of course. Also, as this has come up recently, there's no need to include
the day anymore. I've noticed that apparently that doesn't matter at all.

| Version History ~VerHi~ |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 20, 2009 - Version 0.94
Ha...I thought my job was over but noooo, they had to put out more legendaries
lol. Anyway, thanks to zerathegamer and Pokemon.com for all of these.
September 2, 2009 - Version 0.93
Kind of seeing this as one of my final possible updates. (Yay?) Although I must
say it was kind of interesting writing this FAQ and getting contributions from
different people. I'm sorry some stuff I wasn't able to include but I think
there's a lot of interesting information in this guide. Hmm...this isn't really
sounding like an update note is it?
Some not so good things happened during the time this update was supposed to be
released along with college registration so sorry for this lateness.
Added some more info about the Amity Square Janitor.
Added more info about the GT backdrop lady.
Added a little more detail on Floaroma's Berry lady and Route 208's Berry
Master.
Added my own personal note about the Ribbon Syndicate 10 ribbons stuff...
August 12, 2009 - Version 0.92
Added the 12th Movie Arceus hiker. Added Item Expert in Fight Area.
Put a note about Cynthia's visit to your villa.
Added a note about the ability Pickup as another method for getting "unlimited
rare candies." However, I am not expanding it to a full section as I
originally thought. It's been done many times by better writers.
Added Wifi Legendary Events. Personally, this is a bigger update than just .01
but I still want to drag out on reaching Version 1.0 hahaha.
August 5, 2009 - Version 0.91 (Special Apology Edition)
Gah...I feel horrible. Turns out I accidentally credited some of thebattleax's
contributions with JER_Y's . I owe an apology to both users as this means I
wrongly credited one and I have to take some credit away from the other.
Getting wrong info is bad. Posting wrong info is worse but this is horrible.
For everyone else, there's nothing else wrong with the guide.
No new info for this update.
August 3, 2009 - Version 0.90
Decided to make a special shout out to two continuous contributors.
Decided finally to NOT include TEXT for the random sightings characters
although I honestly want to.
Got semi-massacred on the forums for doubting that the Route 228 Gentleman was
Cyrus' Grandfather.
Added all Battle Hall info that I had been holding out on. Sadly, the
information is rather large and I'd like to wittle it down as I learn more
myself.
Changed the format of the Random Sightings section to better reflect the
differences between the encounters.
Added some statements to the Shard Tutors' section based off of the statements
I found in a Shard Tutor's journal.
Completed the description of the Name Rater. Somehow, I never finished that...
Added the Wi-fi quotes guy in battle tower.
Updated News Press info.
Added more minor updates that I forgot.
July 30, 2009 - Version 0.88
Corrected Dialga and Palkia information as well as Seven Stars Restaurant
times. Added contest hall appearances to random sightings. Added a full list of
Mr. Good's rewards. I'm holding back one piece of information for a future
update just because I'd like to see the results of this myself.
Also lost a floppy disc with some of the updates I was going to add. Now I've
got to look through my email again. *sigh*
July 23, 2009 - Version 0.87
More minor updates. More sites added. Added ghosts and croagunk events.
July 21, 2009 - Version 0.86
Made some minor corrections to contact details. Since this is still early in
the life of this guide other sites that I have allowed to host this have not
updated the file, which is reasonable. It hasn't even been a month yet.
July 18, 2009 - Version 0.85
Added several things that I overlooked or didn't know about. Hahaha. I thought
I didn't need to add Pal Park but I forgot that it had some special things to
get there as well.
Changed the search codes. I realized my mistake in using
numbers for if I leave something out. I have to fix them ALL. So I made a new
less memorable but more accurate system.
Fixed a Roark mistake. It was supposed to have been Byron.
Added SuperCheats.com to approved hosts.
July 15, 2009 - Version 0.76
Minor update. Added Neoseeker.com to approved hosts.
July 10, 2009 - Version 0.75
Initial Release. Basic guide. I think this is essentially complete
but someone might email me with more information or a better strategy
so I'll leave space for a potential full release.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| FAQ in a FAQ ~FAQx2~ |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) I spotted something in your guide that is wrong...
MAKE SURE YOU ARE READING THE GAMEFAQs VERSION! That one will always be the
most current one. Not to say that the ones on other sites are always wrong just
make sure. If you have then...
Pretty simple. Just email me. I'll fix it if it is a better idea and give
you credit of course. Some things I felt did not belong in this guide though
such as shopping lists for normal Poke Marts. Also, I use whatever name I see
if you want some sort of alias or something. Please specify that.
And I just realized that since updates may be slow if I get information from
multiple people, the first two to point out the mistake get the credit.
2) Battle me now!!!
Sorry. I don't have wi-fi. I did sort of have it last year because of my mom's
job and my neighbors but both of those no longer exist now. Maybe when I go
to college.
3) Why haven't you responded to my email?!?
I don't have internet either. I get online when I go to the library. I usually
go about two times a week.
4) Hahahahlolroflmao! Your name's not really Quaker is it?
Yes it is. If by now, you have not encountered someone online or offline with
an unusual name then you live in a very small world and I'd appreciate if you
stayed there. Also, to keep a long story short it has nothing to do with
Oatmeal and a slight connection to the religion <but not majorly>.
5) Hey I saw this info in another guide!?!
Really I wrote this one for myself. I forgot that someone else probably has
written about this info somewhere else and better than I did before I did
as I did get this game late. Sorry if there is overlap but maybe this is
shorter for you to read than a full FAQ containing everything about the game.
6) EH? Thought you weren't going to include the other legendaries?
I changed my mind now that it appears everyone WILL have a chance to obtain
some of these items legitimately though once it's all over it really will be
the same as I originally said...
7) How did you get a 12th Movie Arceus?
Don't think anyone really cares but I went to some party and against my better
judgment some guy had a way to give out the Mystery Gift cards from the movie.
So the Arceus is technically legit. Though if something ever goes wrong with my
game I'm going to track him down and kill him. Jk...sort of.

| Credits ~Credt~ |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to thank the following users indirectly here because I used their
guides as a basis on how to format this guide.
aragornbird, Parrot_Lover, pancakes771, CAHowell, and Super Saiyan Zero.
CAHowell's Diamond guide. I used it for the Pal Park part about the second
floor girl and the Frenzy Plant/Hydro Cannon stuff (I knew Blast Burn).
That's it.
I'd like to thank separately the following three users for contributing the
most (far too much -.-;; lol) to this guide:
-Kevin AKA Zeldafan77 who always seemed to keep coming up with more and more
things for me to add to this guide. Reading and rereading this guide over and
over. Heck, I learned about things I didn't know about. Made me wonder who
really wrote certain parts of this guide.
-thebattleax who was kind enough to contribute several unique tricks (like the
rare candy Pokemon Mansion trick) and notifying me kindly that I had wrongly
credited some of his things to someone else. I even got a complete listing of
ALL of the text for about half of the characters in the random sightings
section. I decided far too late to not use it because I don't want to appear
to be trying too hard.
-JER_Y who sent in and helped suggest things for the random sightings section.
Also often served the special purpose of confirming some of the information.
I wasn't sure (too lazy) to check on myself.
And of course, EVERYONE who sent in info, suggestions, and corrections are just
as important so here's the rest: CDGamer, Michel Dijkstra, Ashunera,
SnrChumber21, slg369, puenboy, pbob, Taedan, amd zerathegamer for corrections
or enhancements noted elsewhere in the guide. Phantomness gets an honorable
mention.
Nintendo and Game Freak for making this the best Pokemon handheld game to date.
GameFAQs for hosting this and many other guides.
Neoseeker,Supercheats, Gamesradar, and Cheatplanet for requesting to
also host this.
"Official Pokemon Guide" and Serebii.net because although I didn't use them, I
have been told some of my readers got their information from those places.
Pokemon.com for info about Shaymin and another Arceus event.
Me? I deserve a little right?
You. For reading this. Have a hug or a cookie. Your pick. ^-^

I don't really see the point in emailing me (see the FAQ in a FAQ section)
but I suppose I have to put it. I don't really check my alternate emails but
I just realized that its not a good idea right now to use my main email just
yet. So I'll try to check this secondary one more often.
negimasonic (at) gmail (dot) com
Obviously replace the (at) with @ and (dot) with . and remove and spaces.
If you didn't read that other section, just note that it may take a little
while for me to reply to you but I will. Unless your email is just spam or it
got bounced back to you. Also, do me a favor and have a relevant title. Help me
is clear but it doesn't really stand out. Lastly, try to find the GameFAQs
version of this guide as that is the most current one.
I also play Runescape but its kind of rare nowadays.
