Blast Powder is used to mine rocks a second time. You get a lot of them from Pickup and you can also buy them later on in the game so it's not bad if you sell some now.

The clown on the second floor of the checkpoint between Agate City and Agate Circus trades it to the player.

This was removed unless I somehow missed this while scanning the eggs I had on me at the time.

I was curious about this too, which is why I checked each of my eggs in the PC when breeding Feebas. I did not see any indication of any of the Pokemon being shiny but one of them still hatched a shiny Feebas

This is true, but I would say that one of the gigantic advantages of having a single download that includes everything in it as opposed to patches is that the former cuts down on how many people fail to update correctly, if at all, which also significantly reduces the number of bug reports that were already addressed in previous updates.

Just as a heads up, Aromatisse and Swirlix are currently hidden underneath of Spritzee's spoiler tag due to a small syntax error.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Ralts issue. Does this mean that there's something specific that I have to do to get the Pokesnax to trigger Whismur appearing or is it currently incapable of being triggered until it's rectified in the next update?

I don't, actually :\ But I can get back to that point relatively quickly if needed.

I have my doubts as to whether or not that's the case here. I went and started a new file just to test some things and did all of the following before getting the first badge: Visited the house where Whismur should be. Talked to the guys above the Peridot Pokemon Center and then visited the house. Went and got Pokesnax and then visited the house. Talked to the guys above the PC after getting Pokesnax and then visited the house. Talked to the Hiker after getting Pokesnax and then visited the house. Talked to the guys above the PC again after talking to the Hiker and then visited the house. None of these caused Whismur to appear. I mean it's not that big of a deal given that Loudred is available later, but in the event that the empty house somehow causes something else to happen further down in the story, I'd like to at least know how I can cause all of it to be triggered.

Yeah those all might be applicable here. I definitely remember visiting the house before beating the first gym because I remembered Whismur being there in like Episode 8 or so, but I don't remember if I talked to the NPCs in question before or after that took place.

From what I've read you still need to get the Whismur event out of the way before the guy appears in the house saying that he wants to sell it to someone else. However, if that's not the case then the fact that the house salesman doesn't appear at all is another problem entirely.

Alright, so I've done a lot of searches involving the Whismur and Onix events but I can't seem to find what I'm missing to get the entire chain of events started. Here's a list of what I've done so far that may or may not be relevant to everything: I have talked to both of the guys above the Peridot Pokemon Center, several times. I have Pokesnax in my bag (a lot of them, actually). I have talked to the Hiker outside of Peridot station. I have made it to the end of Episode 11 (so I definitely have received the 1st badge). Still, no Whismur appears. Does anyone have an idea of what else I might need to do?
