Expertmac2: removed outdated playerdex.com link

==Solution A==
# Click on start menu and click on run then type DxDiag if using XP. For Vista and Windows 7 users, they can just type DxDiag straight into the search bar from the start menu.
# Click on the "Display" tab and check on the status of the following:
## DirectDraw Acceleration
## Direct3D Acceleration
## AGP Texture Acceleration
#If any of the options appear as '''not available''', you may need to update your graphics drivers. Pick your manufacturer from this list, and search there for the latest drivers:
## [https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx Intel Download Center] - Intel
## [http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us NVIDIA Drivers Download] - NVIDIA
## [http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx AMD Graphics Drivers and Software] - AMD (ATi)
#If any of the options appear as '''not enabled''', you need to goto "Display properties" and click on "Monitor" (Windows 7 users: Right click on the desktop, choose Screen resolution, then Advanced Settings, Troubleshoot and Change Settings). From there, enable hardware acceleration (or slide to full acceleration enabled).
# Repeat step 1 and 2, you should be done if you get enabled across all 3. If the game still doesn't work for you follow on with the next step unless you are a Windows 7 64-bit user, in which you need to go to step 7.
# Run the game as administrator. This can be done by right-clicking on the client icon and choosing it from the menu.
# Run the game in 32-bit mode.

Pokémart

HEADING = '''Poké Mart unavailable'''|
CONTENT = The Poké Mart has been removed as of Feburary 28, 2012. It will be moved to the [[Playerdex]] later.
}}

[[File:Pokemart_Exterior.png|200px|right|thumb|Pokémart exterior.]]
[[File:Pokemart_Interior.png|200px|right|thumb|Pokémart interior.]]

'''Pokémarts''' are shops in [[Pokémon_World_Online|PWO]] where players may purchase items and make exchanges on the auction house with other players. Pokémarts can be found in almost every city, and they can be identified with their blue roof.

Most Pokémarts feature two NPC vendors. One allows you to access the auction house, and the other sells an unlimited supply of standard items used for Pokémon battles.

__TOC__
 

==Auction House==

The auction house is a global trading system which allows players to put Pokémon and tradeable items on the Pokémart, for other players to bid on or buy. The auction house is centralized and accessible from any Pokémart throughout the game. Speak to the higher NPC vendor in the Pokémart to open up the auction house interface (a screenshot of the interface may be seen on the right).

It is a convenient trading system for sellers who are willing to exchange their Pokémon and items for Pokémoney, as well as players who are willing to pay Pokémoney for Pokémon. The traders do not need to arrange a trade meeting and meet up in a [[Pokémon Center]], or even wait in the Pokémart, to complete the trade transaction. However, players who often look to trade Pokémon on both ends of the trade negotiation tend to not the auction house, because it only allows you to sell Pokémon for Pokémoney.

[[File:Auction_House.png|right|thumb|Auction house layout.]]

'''Note:''' Item trading is currently disabled, therefore items can not be put on the Pokémart at the moment. Item trading may be re-enabled in the future.

===Buying a Pokémon/Item===
You may navigate through the auction house to find a Pokémon that you seek by using the side menu or search bar on the interface. The side menu to the left displays a list of categories. For items, it seperates them into different groups for pokéballs, potions (includes ''all'' healing items), Fishing Rods (currently non-tradeable), stones (includes all evolution items, including [[Evolution Stones]], and [[Items#Metal_Coat|Metal Coats]], [[Items#Dragon_Scale|Dragon Scales]], and [[Items#Soothe_Bell|Soothe Bells]]). For Pokémon, they are categorized into different lists depending on their national pokédex number range, Uncatchable Pokémon, and shiny Pokémon. Once you have clicked on a category from the side menu, you may click on the drop-down menu for a list of Pokémon that are available under that category.

Also, you can use the search bar to designate a particular Pokémon or item name. If they are available in stock, it will display a list of Pokémon or items under that name.

Once you have found the Pokémon or item that you want to buy, select it from the list and click on the '''Buy''' button. Clicking on the Pokémon will display its level, stats, owner, and whether it's shiny or not. Assuming that you have enough pokémoney to cover the cost, the Pokémon you bought will appear in your [[Pokémon_Center#PC_Storage_System|PC]] if your party is full.

===Bidding on a Pokémon/Item===

Some Pokémon are auctioned on the Pokémart, and must be obtained by placing the highest bid before the bid time expires. Some auctioned Pokémon may also have an instant buy price, which allows you to purchase the Pokémon immediatley if you pay the instant buy price.

To submit a bid for a Pokémon, click on the '''Bid''' button, and input an amount of Pokémon greater than the current top bid. If a top bid has "-" mark in front of, then that is the starting bid set by the owner of the Pokémon/item - It must be topped for the first valid bid to count, and the "-" mark will no longer appear to it once it has been outbidded.

The amount of pokémoney that you have bidded will be deducted from your total pokémoney, and it will be returned to you if you are outbidded before the auction ends. If another player has outbidded you, you will receive a green system message in the chat box that informs you of it. If you still hold the highest bid by the time the bid time expires, a green system message will announce that you have won the bid, and the Pokémon will be stored in your PC if your party is full.

'''You currently can not cancel any bid you submit.''' You may only retrieve the money you bidded if another player outbids you.

===Putting a Pokémon/Item on the Pokémart===
You will need at least 30 reputation points to sell or auction any Pokémon on the Pokémart. Click on '''My Shop''', and you will be taken to a similar interface shown to the right.

[[File:My_Shop.png|right|thumb|My Shop layout, where you can sell and auction Poké/items.]]

You may click on "items" or "Pokémon" above the list in the lower right hand side of the interface, to view a list of Pokémon or items currently on hand. You may select a Pokémon/item from the list, and choose to either put it on auction or shop. If you choose to auction it, you may input the auction time in days, an instant buy price, and starting bid. If you choose to put it on the shop, you may input the quantity and price, as well as the expiry time to buy it. Once you have made your decision, click on "Start Shop" or "Start Auction", and you will be prompted to pay a fee to put it on the mart. The fee varies, and is determined by a percentage of the price you set it at, which is 0.3% of the price.

You have a maximum of 5 slots for Pokémon/items to sell on your shop at all times. The list of Pokémon/items on your shop is displayed on the "My Shop" interface at the top. If you want to cancel an item that you have put on the shop, select it from the list and click on "cancel". However, you currently '''can not''' cancel auctions.

==Stock==
Most Pokémarts include a second vendor NPC, who all sell the same standard items. The exception is the Pokémart in [[Fuchsia City]], which only has one NPC that allows you to access the auction house.

Checking Pokemon IVs

2013-06-12T02:22:35Z

Expertmac2: more grammar and spelling

__NOTOC__
This is a guide to show you how to determine if your Pokemon has good or bad stats. It is important to note that stats dramatically change the amount of money someone might be willing to pay for a Pokémon, positively or negatively, so it is important to understand at least the basics of knowing how to check your Pokémon's stats and understanding what they mean.

=What are IV's?=
IV's stand for individual values. All 6 of a Pokémons stats have its own individual IV. IV's are used to determine how good a stat is compared to how good or bad that stat can be. They can range from 0 (Being the lowest) to 31 (being the highest).

*HP '''(HP)''' Shows the amount of health your Pokémon has.
*Attack '''(ATK)''' Shows the power your Pokemon deals using physical moves.
*Defense '''(DEF)''' Shows the resistance your Pokémon has against physical moves.
*Special Attack '''(SPATK)''' Shows the power your Pokémon deals using special moves.
*Special Defense '''(SPDEF)''' Shows the resistance your Pokémon has against special moves.
*Speed '''(SPD)''' Shows how fast your Pokémon is, and based on that decides which Pokémon attacks first in battle.

=How to check your Pokémon's IVs=
==Step 1==
[[File:IVG1.png|left|frame|Step 1]][[File:IVG2.png|frame|right|Step 2]] Begin by writing down your Pokémon's stats. You will need all 6, HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. You can check what these stats are on your own Pokémon by rolling over them with your mouse. If you're trading, simply ask the other person to give you the stats of their Pokémon and write them down. Once you trade it is important that you '''double check''' the Pokémon that you are receiving stats. For this guide we'll be using a Milotic.
==Step 2==
Open up your internet browser and open an IV calculator. For this example we'll use the Veekun's IV Calculator which can be found here : http://veekun.com/dex/gadgets/stat_calculator
Because PWO currently doesn't have Natures, Hidden Powers, or Characteristics, they can be left blank from the calculator. The "effort" column may also be left out as there is none in PWO as well. Start by filling out the name of the Pokemon, once you write it down, make sure to select it from the drop down menu that appears. Next enter the level, HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed for your Pokemon. For the Milotic, the blanks should be filled out like pictured. 
==Step 3==
[[File:IVG3.png|left|300px|thumb|Step 3]]Once all your Pokémon's stats have been added to the blanks click on "Crunch Numbers". What you will see is something like the image shown here. What you're going to want to look at is the column labeled "Possible genes (IVs)". If we take a look at the "HP" Row, under the "Possible genes" column, we see the pair of numbers, '''2-3''', so this is the IV for HP. The reason that there's two numbers instead of just one is because the lower the level of your Pokemon the wider range of IV's that stat can become, so what the calculator is telling us here is that by level 99, Milotic might end up with a 2 or a 3 as it's final IV for HP. You can close in the range of the IV's quickly before reaching high levels by filling in the blanks for its new stats for its next level in the next column, in this example it would be in the column "Level 63" which is currently empty. The colored bar in the calculator is simply a visual representation of the IV. The overall description of this Milotic would be that it has great Attack and good speed and defense , bad HP and Special Defense and average Special Attack. Veekun's calculator also provides all your Pokémon's IVs at the bottom of the page, so you can simply copy and paste them in the chats.
 
=Shinies and IVs=

[[File:IVG4.PNG|left|100px|thumb]]
[[File:asds.PNG|right|200px|thumb]]
All Shinies caught in the wild in-game have IV's of 28 or more, whereas shiny Pokémon obtained on the token store are guaranteed 15 ore more IVs, which is one of the reasons why they are so desirable - especially in-game. Here we can see an example of a shiny Crobat, Once we calculated the IV's you can see that his IV bars are all aligned to the right and can and will be over 28 once this Crobat reaches level 99. Its also known that a lot of shinies may go up to the 32nd IV, this happens occasionally and the Veekun stat calculator will display the IV as being "impossible", so for shinies 28 is the lowest IV and 32 is the highest.
 

=Uber and Epic=
Uber and Epic are both different definitions of a Pokemon having good IV's, though they both mean different things, and it varies from person to person what each can mean. A general understanding of what these definitions are, is :

'''Uber Pokémon''' - Pokemon with Uber Stats in the necessary areas for that Pokemon to be as competitively viable as possible.

'''Epic Pokémon''' - There are two definitions. 1: A Pokemon with 25+ IVs in every stat. 2: A Pokemon with three Uber Stats in random places

'''Uber Stat''' - A specific stat with 27+ IVs.

=What Stats does my Pokémon Need?=
Uber Pokémon means that a Pokémon has good stats in the stats it actually needs the most. That means it doesn't actually have to have all the IV's to be great, but that the good IV's are in the correct places. To try and figure out what Pokémon needs what stats, you will have to open up it's Pokémon page here or in another Wiki. For this example we will be using [[Growlithe]] and his page. First of all, you want to determine if your Pokémon uses ATK or SPATK more, to do this, look at it's move-set. Does this Pokémon's best move use SPATK, ATK, or both for it's best moves? In the case of Growlithe, both of his best moves, Heat Wave and Flare Blitz, are both special type moves, which means they require Special Attack. So a good Growlithe should have good Special Attack over normal Attack IV's. To figure out if your Pokémon needs speed, you need to look at your Pokémon's base speed and see how good it is compared to other Pokémon's speed, a Pokémon like Snorlax has horrible Speed, so no matter how good the speed IV is it's always going to be the last one to go so it's not needed as much as other Pokémon. A Pokémon like Joleton who has High amount of base speed compared to other Pokémon, might need the Speed IV to be less as well since no matter what, it's most likely to go faster then half the Pokémon in game no matter what. The Pokémon that need the Speed IV the most are the ones that are just average. The rest if not all of the IV's can be determined from a couple of questions. 
'''1. What kind of attacks is my Pokémon going to take?''' 
If you're more likely to take out you're Pokémon against Special type Pokémon that use Special moves, then your Pokémon will need SPDEF more then Def, if it's the opposite, then you'll need DEF. Snorlax that is a Normal type, and Normal types that are only weak to Fighting, will need good DEF since most fighting Pokémon use ATK based attacks. 
'''2. Does my Pokémon need more of this stat?''' 
If you're Pokémon has a very low amount of that base stat compared to other Pokémon then it most likely doesn't need it. 

'''3. Am I going to use my Pokémon as a tank?''' 
Is the Pokémon you're going to take out going to be used to take on damage and give a lot of damage? For these kind of Pokémon, good HP and DEF/SPDEF is needed.

__NOTOC__
This is a guide to show you how to determine if your Pokemon has good or bad stats.
