The Move Relearner is located in Pastoria City, the Move Deleter in Canalave City and the Name Rater in Eterna City.
How do I soft reset?
Hold down L+R+Start+Select. Soft resetting can be helpful in certain situations, like resetting for a gift Pokemon (such as starters) for a certain gender, IVs, nature, shininess etc.
How do I chain for Shiny Pokemon?
The random encounter for Shiny Pokemon is 1 in 8,192. With the PokeRadar, chaining makes Shiny Pokemon easier to obtain but unfortunately this does not work on overworld Pokemon like Drifloon, Rotom, Legendaries or those found via surfing or fishing.
How do I get the National Pokedex?
You must see all the Sinnoh Dex Pokemon. Dialga (Pearl) or Palkia (Diamond) can be added after reading a book in Cynthia's house, located in Celestic Town. All the others can be seen in the wild or by battling Trainers. To get Manaphy seen in Platinum, follow the same method for seeing Dialga/Palkia but instead go to Mr. Backlot's mansion on Route 212. There are 151 Pokemon in the D/P Sinnoh Dex, and 210 in Platinum. Manaphy is not required in Diamond & Pearl but is required in Platinum.

I'm playing with a DS/DS Lite, what happens when I insert a 3rd Gen game?
This activates dual-slot mode, where you can find Pokemon that you couldn't find otherwise.

What Legendary Pokemon can I find in D/P/Pt?
I noticed some differences in sprites with the Pokemon, what are they?
