No one really knows if Nintendo will choose to re-run the events for the PokeWalker Maps some time. There's not much you can do except wait and see, unfortunetly.

1. how often does nintendo circulate their events?
2. whats with the pokewalker? specifically in yellow forest? how would i get in on that action?
3. will black and white's pokemon be available to be traded over to heartgold/soulsilver and d/p/pl?

Most events are only ever done once, aside from repeats of legendary Pokemon giveaways (Mew, Jirachi, Deoxys etc.) that can't be obtained any other way. As far as I know, no PokeWalker events have been repeated yet, so there's no real way of knowing if they ever will.

2. whats with the pokewalker? specifically in yellow forest? how would i get in on that action?

The PokeWalker came with HGSS and is a pedometer-type thing, if that's what you're asking xD Yellow Forest is a map that was downloadable from an event, and by using it you can obtain Flying and Surfing Pikachu.

3. will black and white's pokemon be available to be traded over to heartgold/soulsilver and d/p/pl?

No. Black and White Pokemon are not coded into the earleir games and therefore trading them to earlier games isn't possible. From what we know so far though, Pokemon will be able to be transferred from DPP/HGSS to Black and White. Just not that other way around.

Answering a few older questions that I know the answer to.

Latias/os are not exclusives. You can get the other one in either game through Event.

It has something to do with it being a Casino game. In Japanese coppies, you can get the Slot's.

Also, why doesnt battle frontier give exp :(

Well, Swarms are after you get to Kanto, get your National Dex and stuff, and it can be wherever. You might want to see Mary and Oak on your Pokegear and see when it says 'A swarm of Ralts have been spotted by route ____!' or something like that.

And that reminds me. Latios was in HG, not SS. LOL.

That was in the event, Disco. Actually, it is Latias in Hg, Latios in Ss, but with the event, or trade, you can get the other 'mon.

I need help on trying to wake up the sleepy Snorlax that's blocking the entrance's to Diglett's Cave.

I've solved the Power Plant thing, and went to the Radio Tower in Johto, but there's a guard blocking the elevator....
Somebody told me that once I get the Johto's Radio Music card or something, I'm supposed to take the elevator to the top of the Radio Tower and play a tune to wake up Snorlax. But this is where I'm stuck! The Snorlax is asleep and the guard isn't letting me through. D=

Help please!

Whoever told you that was right up until the part with the guard. You have to stand next to the Snorlax and play the PokeFlute Channel on your Pokegear's radio, then interact with it. Snorlax will wake up and battle you after that.

Oh! Thanks! But how do I get the PokeFlute Channel ? I can't seem to see it on my Pokegear's radio. (I think I didn't get the PokeFlute Channel, yet then !)

See the white dot in the circle on your Pokegear's radio on your touch screen? Put the dot on your touch screen at the 12 'o clock spot on the circle, and the PokeFlute Channel will start playing after you get your radio upgraded from the people at the Kanto Radio Tower. c:

Allrighty, I need some help here.

For my team, I believe I have a Typhlosion, a Pidgeot, a Gyarados, A Electrode/Voltorb (the evolved form- can't keep them straight), and a Togitic. I'm about to challenge the Elite Four. But I was wondering: for my sixth party member, should I have a Dragon-type, or a Grass-type? Thanks in advance. :)

But lets look at the competition and I'll tell you your best bet off the top of my head.

Ok, so Pidgeot to Onix then use Gyrados, finish with Pidgeot.

Seeing how you have no fighting pokemon, just make do with Umbreon with something. Take down Vileplume with Typhlosion, Electrode on Murkrow. Struggle your way past Gengar and finish her Houndoom with Gyrados.

Electrode, Electrode or Gyrados, Now Aerodactyl has rock in its type so not Electrode.... IDK. Now theres 3 Dragonites... Gyrados with Ice Beam? Some dragon move thats not Rage?

Seems you need a Ice type preferably, since dragons are strong against dragons you'll need much faster, stronger dragons to beat those 3.

[Doodlebop]

An ice type? Allright. Thanks, Silver! And for Koga, Togitic is psychic, so...

And yes, the Gyarados is red. xD
