Ho-oh

[Mike]

Archived from groups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon (More info?)

Playing Colosseum. I have read that I can get Ho-oh if I accomplish a
few things 1st.

I have all shadow pokemon caught and purified.
I have finished the story mode including the 100 Mt. battle (about 100
times now, lol) I though that once I did all that, I would get Ho-oh
when you defeat the mayor at the tower battle when Ho-oh is flying
around at the end.

What do I have to do to get him?

Is he really all that good to be worth it?

You have to finish the battle tower in colloseum mode, with the pokemon
that were in your team when you last saved your game in story mode. It
is a little harder than the battle tower in story mode but not that much
I didn't need to use any continues and failed to get a perfect on only
about a max of 10 of the battles, mainly due to me not pressing the
right button.

Yes he is pretty good bu it's more a case of hey look what I've got in
my pokedex.

Which is one reason I got Colosseum in the first place. I just started
playing it. I was a little disappointed to find out that you can only
get one of the GSC starters. I thought you could get them all. Hopefully
I can at least get the three dogs.

You can get all three starters and dogs but they appear later on in the
game. You will have to be patient, very patient, very very patient. What
with the, not so running, running around, limited movesets and continual
saving and restarting to get females this game is rather annoying at
times. I'm just about to start over so I can get Ho-oh for my
girlfriend, I think some cheating might be in order.
Unfortunately you won't be able to get Lugia, which out of the pair is
the one I would prefer.
Hopefully the next version of coloseum, if it ever gets round to being
released over here, will be more faithful to the original games.

Isn't the next one going to revisit Orre? That would seem unlikely to
return to the "catch pokemon in the wild" theme...

I agree that the game is kind of annoying, and not as fun as the GBA
games. I don't think the new GC game will be too different from
Colosseum, but Lugia is featured in it, so it seems like it will be
capturable in the new game.

Overall, I do like the GameCube game, but I still find myself
preferring the GameBoy Advance ones because they are just so much more
portable. I can carry my GameBoy Advance SP wherever I go while I have
to be sitting in front of the TV to play the GC game.

Although with FR and LG you can use Ditto, so it doesn't realy matter.

But it is nice to be able to have a female so you can breed different
moves onto them that you might not get on that particular pokemon
species,hmm the biologist in me keeps wanting to go that's not a
species, but you know what I mean.
Yes you could just breed with a ditto and x pokemon of your choice,
hatching eggs until you get a female but it may take a while.

Eh, I just want the ones I don't have, but I don't feel like playing
through the game!
