I went mono-Dark for most of White. My party was Scrafty, Krookodile, Bisharp, Zoroark, Hydreigon, and Mandibuzz (traded in). I also trained a Beheeyem and an Archeops who replaced Zoroark and Mandibuzz once I obtained them.

What's fun is having this happen in WiFi battles and your opponent just sitting there for 3 minutes because they can't figure it out.
And it's all Game Freak's fault for such a terrible interface =/

Hmm, well I guess it's partly because they stuck with the two column, three row config even in triple battles.
It would probably be better in those situations to switch to a three column, two row config:
[ ]____[ ]____[ ]
Switch with who?
[ ]____[ ]____[ ]
And say, have a drag/drop sort of thing as an option?
I'm talking about the area name things! They're amazing!lens flare?

Yeah, I like those transitions a lot. Very distinct from the usual "box at top of screen".
Another thing you may like is that you can switch hold items among your party without going into your bag (use the "Move" option when selecting a poke).
This is the best thing with amulet coin.
Okay the lens flare is literally the best thing. It's got this subtle thing going on too, it's not in your face.
The movable hold items are an amazing idea.
By the way it's getting a bit creepy how I just CAN'T come across a trash can that isn't empty. Either every non-trainer adult works as a cleaner, or every city's nooks and crannies are infested with Muks and Garbodors.

What in the world does that mean "I can press up from run"?

All this time I've been moving my Amulet Coin around by using Take / Give.

It's like people consider natural and needed fixes as genius improvements.

Once you're on the "run" button here, see, there's NO GOING BACK. You're stuck there forever.
Wait wait wait I haven't gone to the PC yet what are you talking about
Now I'm afraid to go check what's different about the move function
with teh move button selected, pressing the yellow square in the top right corner allows you to move a group of pokemon instead of one at a time.

Really enjoying this game.
Around 15 hours in and just on Route 4. Glad they got Castelia City out of the way relatively early this time around. It's quite a boring location in my opinion and quite relieved to be "back on the road" so to speak.
Current team is:
Magby Level 24
Lucario Level 23
Dewott Level 21
Pikachu Level 21
Tornadus Level 18
Is that a SHINY female Pikachu? I hate you.

Oh, I see. I can't help you anyway, sorry
It's cool, I'm sure I'll find them eventually. I just wanna knock out the tough to get pokemon before tackling everything else.
defeat it and it should re-appear after you defeat the E4 again.

40 hours into the game and I finally realize I can set multiple items to Y. No more going to the bag each time the Itemfinder closes! Also, do those hidden items searchable by the Itemfinder respawn over time?
Aggrotek
Member
Wait it'll appear if I beat the E4 anytime?
well, Lati@s is postgame, so you'd have to defeat the E4 R2. and only if you defeated it, if you caught it, no it won't re-appear.
Trainer Name screen my friend. Trainer Name screen.

R2? Round 2? I haven't fought the E4 since the first time. So if I faint it, go fight E4 and come back, it'll be there?
yep.

Couldn't you hit left or right and then up?
Yes.
I bet you're the type to use a Repel instead of a Max Repel just because you have one.
I'm sorry man, but if you don't have a Max Repel, you just don't have any Repel.
No I use Super Repel. It's the most cost effective.
See, it's the thinking process of a mad man.

I imagine there are some people that press up and then quickly press the A button thinking they're selecting Fight, but instead select Run instead. Might be annoying if they're trying to catch a rare Pokémon, so it's good you can press up from Run.
Though saying that I'm a touch interface guy so I don't have that problem (unless I hit the wrong thing, which I've done before by healing a fully HP'd Pokémon mid battle.....).

Why would you even select Run in the first place if you want to Fight?

He's clearly mad for wanting to pay 200 bucks more to go just 50 more steps without battles. Super Repels are your best bang for the buck.
Pokemon ground textures is my fave post from upandaway so far :3
