Advanced Techniques
Though I know a great deal of advanced techniques, I do not know them all. Basically, an advanced technique is a move not labeled by official Nintendo guides but rather moves and skills that can be learned and applied in casual or tournament (more often tournament) play to better your game beyond how the game is meant to be played. These techniques are absoulutely required for you to become a master at this game. Check this link:
The Advanced Technique Thread
Good luck on your advanced technique training.
Questions/Answers
Q: How do you change the music for stages?
A: Unlock Sound Test and before you select a stage hold down either L or R before you press A and make sure you keep holding on to it until you get to the stage. There is a 12% chance that the music will change by itself.
Q: How do you transform into Shiek before the match starts?
A: Hold A before the match begins.
Q: Any tips on how to catch Celebi?
A: You have to unlock everything (except for trophies) and then find him in a poke ball. Once you have everything then go to VS mode, turn on Pokeballs as the only item, and play a 20 minute match against a lv. 1 CPU. If you don't find it that way then try try again. You will usually get it the first time though.
If you have any questions then ask and they will be added here with an answer.
