Appendix:Platinum walkthrough/Section 3: Difference between revisions

Roark's first two Pokémon shouldn't be too much trouble. The {{p|Geodude}} knows {{m|Rock Throw}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and its best stat is [[Defense]]. Stealth Rock will damage any Pokémon you switch into battle (Most Pokémon will lose 1/8 of their [[HP]] if hit. It will damage more if the Pokémon is weak to Rock-type moves, and less if it is resistant.). Rock Throw is just an attack, which is thankfully somewhat inaccurate. A good Grass- or Water-type attack will likely take Geodude out in one hit. Roark's {{p|Onix}} may be a bit more challenging, mostly because it has more Defense and [[Speed]], and can use {{m|Screech}} to lower your Pokémon's Defense in addition to Rock Throw and Stealth Rock. If you get hit with Screech, you may want to switch before Roark sends out {{p|Cranidos}}. Cranidos is rather fast for this point of the game, and has a scary amount of [[Attack]] that will do massive damage with {{m|Headbutt}} or {{m|Pursuit}}, particularly if Onix used Screech or if Cranidos previously used {{m|Leer}} against you. Try switching in a Pokémon with {{a|Intimidate}} like {{p|Shinx}} to lower Cranidos's threat, but beware of Stealth Rock. It doesn't have the best defenses though, so one Water, Grass, or Fighting-type attack should send it out for the count.

On the second floor, Trainers can dress up their Pokémon using their [[Accessory|Accessories]]. The saved photo of a dressed-up Pokémon is displayed in the gallery just outside the Fitting Room, along with up to ten photos from Trainers that the player has [[Record mixing|mixed records]] with. After dressing up a Pokémon and taking a photo, an {{tc|Interviewer}} will appear outside of the entrance to the gallery to ask the player about the photo. In the main area, a man will give the player the mask of the [[Starter Pokémon|Pokémon that they started with]].

On the third floor there are two rooms off-shooting from the main room: the Group Ranking Room and the Global Ranking Room, which detail rankings from players in the player's [[group]] and all players, respectively. There are three machines in each room, each detailing different concepts to be ranked in. A man in the yellow-carpeted area is a TV producer who asks the player for their opinion on TV. By answering EVERYONE HAPPY for the first question and Wi-Fi CONNECTION for the second question, the player can unlock [[Mystery Gift]]. Additionally, certain phrases that vary based on game version, language, and [[Trainer ID number]] can be told to the TV producer to unlock eight special wallpapers. The passwords can be retrieved from the Daisuki Club website<!--URL required--> or [http://www.filb.de/games/tools/aikotoba?l=en Filb.de's secret phrase generator].

After this, exit Floaroma Town to the east and continue walking to {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}. Near the bridge, a young girl comes up to you and asks you to rescue her papa from the [[Valley Windworks]].

Battle the {{tc|Galactic Grunt}} here who is guarding the door of [[Valley Windworks]]. After defeating him, he will run inside the Valley Windworks and lock the door. However, he will tell you that his comrades in Floaroma Meadow have a spare key. So, return to Floaroma Town and enter the [[Floaroma Meadow|meadow]] to the north.

As you enter [[Floaroma Meadow]], you notice that two Galactic Grunts appear to be fighting with an old man. You ''don't'' have the option of facing these two first before facing the grunt at the entrance of Valley Windworks.
