Lacunosa Town was done by Hitomi Sato, as was the arranged version of the tune. However: Ichinose gave the same exact treatment to Anville Town's town theme, which also got a special arrange at the end of the album release.

So: I think you've got the two mixed up. :}

Question:

Spoiler

Does eastern Unova ever unfreeze?

Spoiler

It doesn't freeze until after the seventh gym, and unfreezes at the conclusion of the Plasma plot. The ice was just to obscure the substantial changes to the map, really. Going through Eastern Unova is a necessary part of the game's progression, and it has two new towns in it and a buttload of landmarks.

 

[EvilMario]

Does it really get Earth Power? I don't see it on the tutor list for Volcarona.

Taking the information from the Smogon thread.

Heatran: Bug Bite, Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, Earth Power, Heat Wave, Iron Defense, Iron Head, Sleep Talk, Snore, Stealth Rock, Uproar

So I guess not. Back to HP Ground.

Was able to trade between my US White and Japanese White 2!

20 across the board with one key stat at 31, to be specific.

So if I'm importing my White 1 save data, and I use the same name for both... is that gonna create a time paradox? Or should I just grab a different name this time 'round?

Can you import information from a US BW save to a Japanese BW2 save?

I don't think anyone has managed to hack themselves one yet, so we don't know the mechanics. Bear in mind that some legendaries aren't available in shiny form in BW- Victini, Reshiram and Zekrom. Not sure if the same is true here.

In GSC their IV's were set and yeah, they were worse than normal colored ones but it was changed in the advance games.

That's like totally your opinion, man.

Weren't their IV's on the high end of the spectrum in GSC. I know they had a 0 in on stat, but close to max on most others.

No, in GSC all Shiny Pokémon had terrible IVs all round. From Gen III onward though, Shininess has been independent of IVs and based on the Personality Value.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah I was referring to this.

So now IV limits are gone then?

And still, how much is the boost of the item?

 

[ColtraineGF]

Yeah I was referring to this.

Shinies haven't been determined from IVs since GSC

That is, there isn't an IV limit because the relationship went the other way around (IVs -> shiny, rather than shiny -> IV).

I don't think anyone knows yet how much the boost is yet though, since it's still early.

Music in this game is too good. The rival theme, I could listen to it all day.

No kidding. Just started, and was that ever a way to kick off the first battle. It's got a very Mega Man X/Mega Man Zero vibe to it.

HG/SS was miserable at points, I thought, and the Kageyama rearrangements felt like they were sequenced into the sound engine, and then he added percussion and more brass to make them feel "powerful". Even though the trumpets are gone from the Hoenn mixes in this game, though, they're still great arrangements due to the extra stylistic embellishments one can hear throughout the piece. These techno rearranges are generally done with a lot of care, and it reminds me of Masuda's whole shtick with techno being one of his biggest influences in regards to the battle themes.

Now that I think about: This whole game is sort of a send-off to the man, now that Takao Unno and Shigeki Morimoto are likely to be the new star directors from now on (though I could be wrong, we'll have to wait and see). More reasons for the ending theme to be done by Ichinose, mark my words!
