Yes, you do need to have captured Latios and Latias in order to receive a Johto starter Pokemon. However, they themselves do not play an important role. To receive a Johto starter Pokemon from Professor Birch, you must have captured (or in some way owned) every Pokemon in the Hoenn Pokedex, so naturally having Latias and Latios is necessary.
no because the johto starter is not in the pokedex and its not available in hoenn regionThis answer is not correct!!you don't need Deoxys to get one jotho starter but you can only get a jotho starter on Emerald and not on ruby and sapphirenew answer by: genguwowoYou dont need jirachi either, so your only challenge is getting latios and latias. Good luck all !ZARAXEON
No. The only 2 regions you can go to in Heart Gold and Soul Silver are the Johto and Kanto regions. However, you do meet Steven twice and obtain a Hoenn starter Pokemon. Also, you can find Latios/Latias as roaming Pokemon after meeting Steven for the first time.(Soul Silver=Latios, Heart Gold=Latias.)
It's possible yeah.
You only need to get all hoenn Pokemon to get johto starter It's a pain! :(
Yes
Once you ask the Copycat in Saffron City to get her Clefairy Doll back Talk to the man inside The Pokemon Fan Club.Then he will give you the Clefairy Doll go outside.Then Steven Stone will talk to you he will say that Latias(HeartGold)or Latios(SoulSilver).Finally Latias or Latios will roam Johto or Kanto.But sorry,you can't get Latios without Cheating,Hacking or Trading. :(
No, you need to trade or transfer them from Emerald.
You get a diploma in each, in emerald you can get a johto starter from prof birch and that's it.
impossible but you can get a hoen starter Pokemon by catching or defeating latias (heartgold) or latios (soulsilver) then taking to Steven at silph co. then choose one of the following orbs. green orb: treeco red orb: torchick blue orb: mudkip hope this helped. : D --------------------------------------------- You dont need to defeat/catch latias (hg) or latios (ss) to get a hoenn started. I beat Red and got it a treecko. I dont know if you have to beat red to get it or not, but i didnt catch latios or defeat it.
Only emerald can get a johto starter however you can trade the johto shadow Pokemon from Pokemon colosseum then breed them in sapphire to get the johto starters you can also trade the johto starters directly from Pokemon xd gale of darkness.
Once you get the national pokedex the profesor will ask you which starter Pokemon one you want from johto
You can get a diploma! You can also get a johto starter: totodile chikorita or cyndaquil. Choose wiseley.
