Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire

BALL UPGRADES & INFINITE POINTS
If you get three Chinchou Pokémon moving in a clockwise circle, shoot a ball at them.

The ball will continue doing this, racking up the points and earning yourself lots of upgrades until the pinball machine goes into Tilt mode and you can get the ball out of this loop.

Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen

Would you like a Legendary Beast Pokémon with you on your adventure? First of all you must beat the Elite Four (don’t you always?) and then, when in the wild, you will be joined by a Legendary Beast Pokémon.

Pokémon Dash

PADS, BALLOONS AND LAPRAS EXPLAINED
As you whizz through the levels in this DS racing game, you will come across pads to boost you, balloons to float you around and Lapras to do some island hopping. Here’s an explanation of what you get from each…

Pads
Sand Pad: This will boost your speed on a sandy landscape.
Grass Pad: A speed boost when you are on the grass.
Swamp Pad: Again, a speed boost, this time in the swamp, but also to stop you from drowning!
Forest Pad: In a forest setting? This will give you a speed boost!
Ice Pad: Boost your speed on the ice.
Rock Pad: Speed boosting on the rocks.
Lava Pad: Another speed boost, this time on a lava terrain, and this also stops you from burning, which is handy!

Balloons
You can float anywhere in the level by using one of the balloons, but there are precautions to take! You can’t fly yourself over brick pathways, there is no landing
in the sea or in the forest and you can
only pop the balloon once when over an icy landscape.

Lapras
The friendly Lapras will help you to travel from island to island and reach goals that are water-based.

HARDER CUPS
There are harder cup modes hidden away in the game, and here is how you can access them…
Expert Mode… Beat the Hard GP Mode
Expert Rules Time Attack Mode… Unlock the Expert GP Mode
Special Cup… Beat the Normal GP Mode
Time Attack Mode… Beat the First Cup on GP Mode
Harder GP… Beat the Original GP

GET SHINY TROPHIES
If you don’t choose to retry any races in a Cup, you will be rewarded with shiny trophies instead of normal ones!

Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

UNLOCK THE CAPTURE ARENA
Once you have completed the main story in the game you will be able to access the Capture Arena. You will need to ride Wailord to get there from Haruba Village.

CAPTURING REGIGIGAS
Want to grab Regigigas? Well first of all you must complete the Browser by getting the 266 regular Pokémon. Then head to the Ranger Union to be told about a whirlpool that has appeared in the Hippowdon Temple.
Set up your team before you head there. You must have Registeel, Regirock and Regice, so capture them if you need to. Add to this some Magneton and some Ground Pokémon.
Once at the temple, move on through until you reach the room with arrows. The whirlpool is in the middle of this room. Fall into the whirlpool and then place Registeel, Regirock and Regice on the pedestals to open up the route. Now prepare to battle Regigigas – this is the toughest battle in the entire game!
As Regigigas stomps around it will send out shockwaves that will steal 18HP from you if you are hit. It will then deliver one of five attacks for you to prepare for. The first is to make boulders fall from above, then there’s an earthquake it creates in an X pattern, there’s a mega-punch, a strong beam attack and rocks it sends out to the four corners. Take your time to defeat this Pokémon. Try charging up from a distance when Regigigas stands still and draw a bunch of circles around it before it can get going.
Watch out later, as more boulders will fall and they will be more frequent. The Ground Pokémon will help out with their PokéAssists, dealing damage and stopping Regigigas in his tracks. Magneton can help out by recovering your HP if you fall too low during the battle.
The best tip is to take your time and be patient – you will slowly chip away at this final Pokémon and complete your Browser!
