Two ways: The first is to start a new game, choose Chikorita as your starter Pokemon, check her profile under the Start Menu, and repeat until you receive a Shiny Chikorita. The other way is to hatch a Shiny Chikorita from an egg at the Day Care. Both ways are going to take a lot of time and effort.
No, My brother tried it last night with an Eevee. Doesn't work
Latias is not available in SoulSilver
That all depends on your personal preference. You could name it anything, or not nickname it at all. I called mine Big Leafer!
If you have another friend who has a chikorita on their game and is willing to trade it... OR, at the very beggening of the game Prof. Elm give you the choice of 3 starter Pokemon - Chickorita, Totadile, and Cyndaquil.
They are Torchic, Treeko, and Mudkip. Reasearch them in a pokedex for more info.
I have them in Heartgold
You won't need to use an Action Replay to get a Chikorita in SoulSilver. Chikorita is one of the starter Pokemon in the game. Though, if you started out with another starter Pokemon, then yes, you will need to use an Action Replay to get a Chikorita.
CHIKORITA!
You can't. You can only get it as a starter.
It's a starter pokemon.
If you start off with Totodile, your rival will have the Chikorita evos.
Chikorita is a beginner Pokemon at the beginning of the game. you can choose either totodile,chikorita, or cyndaquil. that's the only way you can get chikorita or you can just trade one over to the game.
Unless you trade with your friends - Impossible!
The Starters are Cyndaquil, Totodile and Chikorita
toddile,chikorita and cyndaquil
i have one in soulsilver.
There is not a trainer in soul silver that has a chikorita.
