Is there anything in the game (like Pokeblocks or Poffins) that requires a large multiples of certain berries? Aside from EV reducing berries, I'm wondering if there are any others I should be amassing from the Florist.

What ? No.
Is cool. Comfortable apparel, cool bag and cool cap.
What the fuck ? A legging with a pair of shorts ? A tennis cap to show us your stupid haircut ? Hilariously oversized bag ? He looks stupid, stupid, stupid.
B2 is the first Pokémon game where I chose a female MC, because she looks way better and not as stupid as her male counterpart.
Red was awesome though. I don't like Gold's design in the remakes, Brendan was stupid looking but May was cool. I'm indifferent about Lucas. I tend to like the female MC's designs more :

I'm indifferent to all MC designs and just pick male out of habit when given the choice. *shrug*
Red could be considered a bit generic, but was good enough back then.
Gold had more of an attitude (that he carried over to his PokeSpecial persona).
Brendan was sort of strange (I thought that white thing was his hair rather than just a hat until I read Pokémon Special)
Lucas was okay, I guess
BW1 looks okay, but is too similar to Red, IMO (I had somehow forgotten about him)
Finally, BW2 looks downright awful

Moxie Bagon...male, damn it!
Technician Breloom...female, nice!

Guh. Why is the ONE legendary I need (Dialga, from platinum) hidden behind the bs requirement of seeing every pokemon in the regional dex in order to unlock the national dex? The dumb thing is in the regional dex! Bah, W2 gives me a new region with a shiny pokemon in it for doing the same thing, here it's just a block on catching legendaries.
I'm assuming there's no way to see a Dialga in W2 so I can just get it off the GTS?
Edit: Oh goddamnit! I apparently could've gotten one out of SS easily if I hadn't transferred my Arceus forward! Goddammit!

Can anyone suggest a team filler?
I
am about to reach the Chargestone Cave.
I have:
Level 33. Dewott (my starter)
Level 34. Lucario (really diverse)
Level 34. Magnaton (gonna turn into Magnazone soon)
Level 34. Excadrill (not sure if want)
I want to use/just caught:
Lv. 30 Axew (using for sure)
Lv. 14 Mild Eevee > Espeon
Lv. 15 Genesect
Lv. 30 Aron
My issue is that I need someone who can Fly for me, and Genesect can cover that. I want Axew for sure but I'm not sure if I want to replace anyone in my party for both Espeon and Genesect.
Is it worth training Eevee/Genesect to use? Is Genesect a good option for Fly or should I just have a flier in my box and take in/out (I don't really want to do this..).
I have a severe Fire and Fighting weakness in my team, but I have Dewott/Excadrill for Fire and I need something for Fighting, but there haven't been any decent fliers so far in the game. Genesect would also do well for the Elite Four.
What are your suggestions?

BW2 don't have roamers. They were annoying to catch in past games (and I'm expecting them to return in gen 6)

Only annoying legendary was
because you got no warning when they attacked. If you walked out on that ledge...BAM, fight.

Have you been to the house in the North, where Old Team Plasma are?
Do you need everything caught or only seen for the shiny charm?

Caught. I've seen 562.
Well then... gonna be a while for me.

I can help people soon. I'm doing a living dex so I can just breed anything you need. I might have extras right now if you need something specific.
Oh gosh
I will probably take you up on that offer once I get all my stuff transferred from White.

Go ahead and add my Black 2 FC: 3654-8372-5397
You can just PM me anytime.
You don't need the event legends to get the Shiny Charm.
$2.00 for a bottle of water sounds about normal.
the sad thing is i'm never going to use things like Dojo, Cafe, etc but i like having them in my Avenue. i'm gonna set up my White 2 Join Avenue to be half Museum, half lottery.
When I get White 2 its going to be all four markets and all florists
I like how you'd need three versions of B2 or W2 to get all the shops, but I've had both the raffle store and the museum (which I got up to 10!) and I wasn't impressed. You can get away with one salon.

I got a ton of fossils and various shards, but I've got a guy who gives fossils every day and Dream Radar for extra shards.
It's one of the worst deals. I'd say Dojo/Markets/Cafes/Nurseries are tied for the best. Florists are only a slight step below that.

Up to 553! Only a little bit left and I'll have a full dex (except for Meloetta I guess, which will hopefully come before too long). Took forever to get that damn Dialga, but I did it. Also, it looks like I never transferred up a few random lines that are unobtainable in W2 (Torkoal, Poochyena, Whismur), so my options are either transfer up through palpark and then poketransfer, or try GTS. Looks like I'm trying GTS for now, heh.

I know how you feel. Went looking for a Drapion only to find that every potential partner wanted a Level 9 and under Reshiram/Zekrom.
I just evolved my skorupi, if you're still looking.I know how you feel. Went looking for a Drapion only to find that every potential partner wanted a Level 9 and under Reshiram/Zekrom.

Nah, I'm fine now. Thanks for the offer, though.
God, I'd been playing this for hours earlier today and I've never been so annoyed playing Pokemon. I was trying to train some mons for Elesa (my whole team hovers around level 24, and I want em up to 28) and it felt like a gigantic waste of time.
Granted, at least an hour of it was, because I sure as sugar don't need a Sandile, a Drillbur, an Onix, a Sandslash AND a Boldore to take her out xP
But my point is, grinding seems so much more tedious this time around, and FAR less tolerable. It just feels like I was more okay with grinding in B1. That, and I'm pretty sure my team had fewer GAPING HOLES IN ITS DEFENSE. Still there, but less.
Current team:
Mama Mole (Drillbur) ♀ Lv.21
Vector (Sandile) ♂ Lv.24
Brocanine (Growlithe) ♂ Lv.24
Maggy (Magby) ♀ Lv.24
Scrappy (Lucario) ♂ Lv.25
Smuglord (Servine) ♂ Lv.24
Any tips or shit? I've found a Fire Stone recently, should I evolve Growlithe or wait? Am I worried over nothing? I feel like beating Elesa doesn't take this much effort. :V

I agree with the bolded. In HeartGold I never really had a problem with grinding my team up. Now, I basically feel like I'm wasting time until I manage to run into a trainer that I somehow missed on my last time through the area.
And I used my Firestone on my growlithe around level 30 or so. Just personal decision.
As for my lineup so far, I'm around the 8th gym or so.
Virizion 47
Samurott 48
Cobalion 46
Axew 35
Eelektross 42
Mandibuzz 28
And to everyone else: I need a better flying type. I hate having to carry around the less-than-useless Mandibuzz so I can fly to places. When I evolve Axew, can that thing fly? And I'd like to drop my Cobalion and Virizion, walking around with those two just seems wrong. Might replace them with Krookodile and Arcanine, I think.
Haha, is that a Sonic reference?
Nah, there doesn't seem to be anything like that in this game. According to the descriptions of some of the berries there are "maniacs" who will pay a lot of money for certain berries. That's about it.
But if anybody's shop sells Chopple berries I'd be willing to trade something for one.
Yes. I also have Mighty the Sandshrew, Rouge the Swoobat, and Cream the Buneary.

Alright, cool. Guess the EV reducing berries are all I need to amass. And even then, salons can do some EV reduction too.
Right now I have 3 Florists in my Join Avenue (B/B2/W2). Going to max out each one and stockpile a bunch of berries from them before ditching them for the 4th Florist and two more Dojos. Once I have a bunch of berries from the 4th florist, I'll ditch him/her for a Nursery.
