Welp, looks like I'll buy Black 2 and ask a friend to trade Braviary then.

And there we go, Buffurott!

That's the spirit!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

This really crept up on me. I loved BW, and some of the changes seem great. Definitely ready for more pokemon.

Does it still count if you always have all three at the start like I do each gen?

that's even worse

Your last avatar was the least offensive ;~;

why u do this

 

[Keavy_Rain]

My starter in Black was a Snivy I named Steve Jobs. I eventually got all three starters by playing White and trading to myself, but Steve Jobs stayed in the party the whole way though. I think for White 2 I'll pick Snivy again, name it Steve Jobs, then trade with Black 2 for the others.

My White playthrough post-starter trading was an Oshawott, so my post-starter trade Black 2 playthrough will keep that starter.

Because it's pokeymans time!

I probably won't be getting the game this month, will probably wait for a while.

 

[gashikunFLCL]

I think in the last 3 pokemon I played(Soul Silver, Black, White) I finished the game with just the starter pokemon + 1 random and HM slaves using as sacrifices.

So basically can you do the old trade starter to another game, grind it to super high lvl and trade it back?

I recall starter pokemon will never disobey you, no matter the level.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

I think I must be the only one here that took so long until posting in the thread. Blame me on the other side of the world.

Just have to wait until the preorder arrives on the mail...

Also, best. Samurott. Art. Ever. *saves to disk*

All Pokemon originally caught by you in your game never disobey you, regardless of level. Disobedience comes into play when you have a Pokemon that has been traded to you and you aren't the original trainer.

 

[Velcro Fly]

About to fire up my Black cart and begin the hunt for the perfect Horsea that will eventually become the Kingdra I use for my White 2 Challenge Mode run. I need something to do to keep busy this week until the game comes out.

 

[Exterminieren]

I still am sticking to Oshawott.

SAMUROTT 4 EVER

I agree.

Maybe not for the same reasons, but I agree.

You're okay, Ookami-kun.

 

[upandaway]

Think I'll go starter-less this time. I already played once with all starters and it looks like the perfect game to do it with the huge dex.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I agree.

You're okay, Ookami-kun.

He's pretty awesome and he reminds me of Zudomon.

And yeah I kinda like the manliness he evokes :3

 

[Electivirus]

I went with Oshawott in my White version, so I'll be going with Tepig when I pick up Black 2.

 

[Exterminieren]

I went with Oshawott in White, so for White 2 I'm going for... Oshawott.

Because Oshawott > *

 

[MarkusRJR]

I've been on a Pokemon blackout since I learned that it takes place a while after B/W and that some part is frozen (or unfrozen? I forgot) in Unova. How awesome is this game, without spoiling anything? Better or worse than B/W?

You're going to get a variety of views on that one, but my gut feeling is that it's better just because of the insane amount of content that they pack in.

So I could trade it over to another game and grind it up.

glad that old tricks from red and blue still work

 

[UltimateIke]

Because Oshawott > *

Truth in its purest form. Especially after watching the first ~15 episodes of the B/W anime. He's so cute!

Man, me and my entire school must have been the dumbest kids in the world. We didn't even CONSIDER that there's a chance our Pokemon will actually carry out what we tell him to do.

That's not how it worked. The faster you press A, the more likely you are to do any sort of damage within the next hour. That's all there was to it.

I hold right whenever my pokemon takes damage because i think it stops its HP bar from draining.

 

[Exterminieren]

I'd be lying if I denied that anime Oshawott had any influence on my opinion, yeah.

 

[Esura]

I just got to pick Tepig again. He is an adorable little thing. Probably be the first time I'm going to pick the same starter in the 3rd version (or 's' in this case) of a generation. I almost want to not evolve it at all. It's the Cyndaquil of the B/W series.

 

[chickdigger802]

so which starter is the 'best'?

like every game has a starter that faired better against earlier gyms due to the matchup of elements.

I heard they mixed up the gym ordering for this right?


btw: any chance of pokemon ever changing up the pokeball mechanics?

tired of stunning sleeping legendaries and throwing ultraballs for an hr.

 

[Femmeworth]

Probably not until the day that Game Freak discovers microtransactions. "Spend 500 credits to capture this Pokemon now!"

The water starter is usually always a solid choice...grass is lacking and fire gets tagged with the stupid fighting type again.

 

[dc89]

...I still have to finish Black.

Change Black to White and yeah, same boat as you.

None of the starters over overwhelmingly well typed for the gyms this time around. Snivy's probably got the best matchups this time, although it still suffers against Roxie, Skyla and Burgh.

What makes it so slow? I've played both recently but they're not that bad.

 

[Kurita]

Gosh I'm so hyped.
I played the japanese version for some hours without understanding anything but it was amazing.

[Highwind]

Has anyone seen any pictures of the European (or UK) box / cartridge?

 

[Starsunder]

Now that I think about it I could catch an Eevee pretty early on and just do an Eevloution run/

What!? They give you catchable Eevees that you can get early?!

Come to me Vaporeon!

 

[BlackJace]

Black City is in White 2 right?

 

[Toma]

Anyone know why Famitsu gave B&W a 40/40 and B&W2 a 36/40?

Lol, this

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

It's getting a bit difficult for me to choose whether to stick with Snivy or admire Samurott's manliness.

this is exactly what happened. i had to do a double take cause ive never seen a level 10 golbat.

was lookin for a few seconds thinking 'something seems off about this zubat'

exp leveeling bar goes so slow, and ive disabled attack animations cause they take too long doing nothing

I had the same issue with Pearl/Platinum. It felt like such a grind, more so than any of the other games.

 

[Heart Attack]

If i buy and start Pokemon Black 2, will it make Black 1 meaningless, and thus making it not worth playing?????

 

[Boss Doggie]

Considering that B2 relies so much on B/W1

Nope. Different Gyms, different story, different Pokémon, different world.

Why does Ash look smaller than he was 10 years ago?

Geez, Ash.

 

[Zebra]

Geez, Ash.

Now that you mention it, this is the first time I've seen him where he actually looks his age.

 

[Trojita]

I still haven't played my copy of Black

 

[OMG Aero]

Black City is in White 2 right?

Take a wild guess.
