So are black city and white forest pretty much the same in terms of amount of people to battle and items available now? Or are they still different. Or is black 2 still the superior battle area?

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

I hope those who ask for a Pokemon MMO realize just what they are asking for.

If they did, they wouldn't be asking for it.

 

[Gravijah]

is GameStop still giving away Keldeo posters?

 

[Sandfox]

Watch the trade system be nonexistent and you have to honor system it out.

Both guys drop their pokemons and run to the other one.

Being able to trade with others is a big aspect of Pokemon so that would probably be given a lot of effort.

 

[ffdgh]

Someone on my 3ds fl just sent a picture of black 2 with swapnote....

 

[Firestorm]

If they made an MMO I don't think Game Freak would be developing. They'd probably be consultants but concentrate on the handheld games. I think a Korean or Western dev in the Pacific Northwest would be the most likely candidates.

 

[Emitan]

It should be Korean. F2P.

One time use "Capture Boost" items to increase capture rates.

Spoiler

This is the only way to catch something above level 30

 

[Tenck]

I'm morbidly curious how assbackwards a Game Freak developed MMO would be.

You must carry around a usb with the pokemon you want to trade, and go to your friend's house to trade. Have to keep the social aspect there.

 

[Firestorm]

If for whatever reason you are Canadian and don't check the Canada Deals thread, I will throw you a bone even if you don't deserve it! Lollipop Chainsaw is $20 at Best Buy. You can trade it as a straight 1:1 for Pokemon Black 2 or White 2 at Future Shop. And there ya go. $20 Pokemon at launch. Oh and Pokemon comes with a coupon for $10 off any game $19.99 or more to be used in November iirc.

Superior Nation confirmed.

 

[Styles]

Just pre-ordered White 2, I cannot waaaaaaaaaaait.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

So yea, I had thought it was coming out on Tuesday but was pleasantly surprised it's out on Sunday. Shame I'll be busy most of the day playing games with friends but I'll get some playtime in!

 

[BatDan]

Gamestop sent my copy of White 2. Excite!
Going to Target on Sunday to get Black 2. Double excite!

On a different note, Pokedex 3D Pro is such a rip-off. You don't even get an event Pokemon out of it or something special. Even My Pokemon Ranch gave you a Mew.

 

[Busaiku]

I think they might still have them.

 

[Data West]

Any chance for this to have a digital release?

 

[Busaiku]

It's a DS game, so no.

 

[dakkumauji]

Just got the Amazon shipped email. Not arriving til Tuesday though. :<

 

[Diprosalic]

how bad will this look on a 3DS XL? i ditched my 3DS for a XL and my DS broke.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Any chance for this to have a digital release?

Probably not, since it's a DS game.

 

[Izayoi]

Better than it would on the OG 3DS. Postage stamp mode is slightly less postage stampy.

I had planned to do this... but then a little thing called rent got in the way. Should still be valid on the next payday, though, so I got that going for me.

 

[Schadenfreude]

What? Tuesday? Got a few questions for ya.

Where do you reside in? (US, Canda, UK, some other place in Europe)

When did you order it?

What shipping did you choose?

Oh, I lied or didn't read the entire email. Sorry.

Instead, they shipped the Collector Edition Guide.

Still no update for the actual game.

So does B2W2 fix the bug that closing the DS still keeps the game time running?

 

[Firestorm]

I've had it on sleep for the past several hours and it says 0:18 when I save so I am assuming yes. My 3DS Activity Log says 0:31 which is probably the time I left it on the start screen.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Finally. Almost ruined post-game play in White for me. Also for the Pokedex, it counts caught, not seen right? Just making sure.

 

[_PM]

If I played White and want to use the Memory Link feature, do I need to do it in White 2 or can I also do it in Black 2?

 

[Firestorm]

It has always been Seen hasn't it? It's currently Seen. Says 4 and I only have Tepig because Fyre4lyfe and all.

From what I hear game versions don't matter.

First three gens it wasn't, then they started doing that for D/P/Pt. HG and SS went back to "caught" since they're remakes, and Gen V now goes with "Seen".

Ah, cool, then I'll go with Black 2 this time.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Damnit. Why is it that everything great HG/SS did with the series got chucked out?

No.

Save records should show the number of Pokemon in the Pokedex you have caught. Puffing it up with seen Pokemon to make weaksauce players feel better about themselves is completely counter-intuitive to how things should be.

Hey hey! I like it this way! /weaksauce

Wait I can't be weaksauce. Everyone knows I'm spicy

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

I'm always surprised at all the little features that they add to these games that i will never use, much less see.

Joke's on them, I already filled the dex!

 

[Fantomex]

Let me ask you guys something. As a person who loved but did everything in Pokemon White, why should I get part 2?

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

what's the difference between the two versions?

 

[Firestorm]

Because if you loved a game so much you 100%'d it, the logical thing is to want the sequel?

 

[Man God]

It counts both just like in gen iv. The rewards are given on caught I believe.

 

[Gravijah]

it only did if you had the c-gear on. if you had it off, time didn't continue to run in sleep mode.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

That's right.

Still, pretty dumb. Killed the C-Gear for me, not that its proto-StreetPass mechanic got much use anyways.

c-gear killed itself.

 

[Busaiku]

Black 2 is better.

 

[Firestorm]

Oh right that's true. And yeah, I haven't got C-Gear or anything like that yet so maybe it does still kill sleep mode...

Edit: Just got my C-Gear. Same as Black. Keeps playtime going if you put C-Gear on and the game to sleep. Kills the C-Gear for the OCD - which considering it's Pokemon is basically everyone playing.

Thanks for the warning.

I can't fricking wait for Gen 6 so it can use actual StreetPass.

 

[Man God]

With Black 2 I'll finally own a game where I can get Glameow...though I'll have to work for it.

You didn't play a Gen 4 game or B/W? :O
