Riolu is avoiding me like the plague. Lord knows how many Lillipups I've fought. If anything, at least I'm leveling up some of my pokemon!!

 

[Exterminieren]

From the latest Media Create:

Seems like Game Freak made the right choice, then.

I wonder if the third version is dead.

Using my super archive searching skills, BW2 appears to be almost exactly halfway between Platinum and HGSS launch aligned.

 

[TheSeks]

Well, just beat the first gym with Tepig... and a disobeying Genesect that somehow pulled a move off with 3 HP while I was waiting for him to be KO'ed so Tepig (who I healed while Genesect tanked) could come in and finish the round.

Holy crap the Power Within or whatever move two times on that Lilipup = nearly dead level 13 Tepig. D:

What's a good fire Pokemon you can pick up early in b2 and where?

Shit. My Eevee evolved into Espeon too late to learn Psybeam, and now it has no Psychic moves. Where is a move relearner or a Psychic TM?

Nah, pretty common.

Oh, still awesome haha. Just caught a Riolu and named him Stone Cold!

About beating 2 gyms away.

I suppose I'm fortunate I don't need Psychic for those.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Well Elesa's gym sure got interesting...I'm annoyed I wasted time trying to find her in her old gym though...jerks.

EDIT: You stupid Emolga! Volt Switch! Volt Switch! Volt Switch! Volt Switch! Volt Switch! Volt Switch! Volt Switch!
Too bad electric attacks aren't so hot on Ludicolo sucker. Easy gym (again)

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Did anyone else box their Genesect?

Yeah. Took one look at his ridiculous 85 power starting move and tossed it straight into the box forever.

 

[Gravijah]

i can't think of a Flying type or Pokemon who can learn Fly to use.

i don't want to use Flygon, Pidove line, Togepi line, and maybe a few more i'm forgetting. if i can't think of anything i'm just gonna use Landorus.

 

[Delio]

Yeah. Took one look at his ridiculous 85 power starting move and tossed it straight into the box forever.

I nuked that move as soon as i could. Prefer him having the elemental beams + Bug Buzz that im rocking now.

 

[Data West]

Anyone got a Ghastly/Haunter/Gengar? I can trade ... I don't know, something.

I thought it was just my connection. :

Nope. Took me over half an hour to upload a sunkern to the dream world.

Anyone notice a change in the critical catch mechanic? I just got three in a row. I'm hesitant to assume it's based on well-timed button presses, but that's weird. Maybe I just got lucky.

It's still based off how many Pokémon are in your Pokédex. I guess you're lucky.

With a near full Pokédex, critical catches are very common.

I'm not seeing any more of them than usual. I think you're just lucky.

 

[Kave_Man]

Spent about an hour trying to get my shitty router to connect to my superior DSi...I was about to give up and it finally connected.

All this for Genesect. And yes I will use him I don't give a damn.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Should I use Memory Link right away? Or wait a bit?

Also, what are the multiplayer battle options? 3v3 Wifi again? 6v6 Infrared? Auto-scaling to 100?

 

[Bassun]

Just wondering - at what point can you start trading over your pokemon from bw over to bw2?

 

[UltimateIke]

After the first gym.

Herdier swept Elesa, beaten every gym for me so far.

Caught Soloris...worth it in-game?

Golurk. Dat rocket booster.

If you're really picky and don't want to use one of the best Gen V Pokémon, you could just slap it on Genesect and zip around on your rocket bug.

 

[entremet]

What's so awesome about Lucario?

 

[MikeMyers]

Actually I might use Golurk in-game myself.

Ice Punch or Thunder Punch for it?

 

[Kokonoe]

Great typing, great attack, great movepool.

Ice Punch will help you more with the E4, so go for that. An ideal ingame moveset is Ice Punch/Shadow Punch/Earthquake/Stone Edge.

Alright.

Guess my team will be:
Samuott
Stoutland
Arcanine
Crobat
Roserade
Golurk

Although after I beat the E4 I'll change my team completely around

 

[Roto13]

He's in Smash Bros.

You get a medal for it, so there's no reason not to do it ASAP. The only warning I would give you if you do it would be to get ready for a

My game arrived yesterday and I've played about three hours on a couple bus rides; I now have two gym badges at the moment. I'm glad I played Dream Radar, as it gave me a Riolu to use right at the beginning of the game! I really appreciate that the entire stretch up to the first two badges is new, though I suppose the ultimate test of freshness will come as I venture through the old areas from Black. My team is pretty fresh though; I'm rocking Dewott, Riolu, and Growlithe right now with levels between 15 and 18 I believe. Ah, Pokémon.

 

[Femmeworth]

Decided to hold off on getting this for the time being. I'm going to wait for Toys R Us' annual video game sale they have around this time of year, assuming it happens.

Well, thus far I found two of each in the wild. Just from running around the ranch for a while.

How does the relearner work, exactly? If I evolved my Growlithe into an Arcanine before he learns Flamethrower/Outrage/Flare Blitz, can I have those moves taught to Arcanine? Maybe after he reaches those levels? Or do I need to wait until level 45 to evolve him to have a decent moveset?

 

[spiritfox]

He will teach all the moves the pokemon (and not its preevos) can learn up to the level it is at. So arcanine will not be able to learn flare blitz etc. cause it's not in its move pool.

Growlithe is a good choice.

edit: oh Black? not sure if Growlithe is in black...

 

[Roto13]

So hey, about this:

I was exploring that cave with what's-her-name and I went on to Undella town before fully exploring. Did I screw myself out of a Heatran?

 

[Acrylic7]

I still don't understand the reason behind Sythers inability to learn Fly.

 

[Trey]

Spent two hours chasing dust clouds looking for either a Jolly or Adamant Drillbur. How I feel now: fuck shards and Onixes.

Also should have gotten a synchronizer. Twice burned; my fault.

 

[Exterminieren]

So hey, about this:

Nah. Heatran is postgame, and needs the Magma Stone.

 

[Roto13]

Nah. Heatran is postgame, and needs the Magma Stone.

I went to where it looks like the Magma Stone would have been (alone) and it wasn't there. Is it missing if you go there with what's-her-name too?

 

[ColtraineGF]

So hey, about this:

Not really - I went to the place, and she commented on the spot, but nothing.

 

[Exterminieren]

The Magma Stone isn't in Reversal Mountain. It's on one of the postgame routes. You then take it back to Reversal Mountain and Heatran appears.
