Awesome, thanks!
If you can replay those levels multiple times, I think I might hop on the Beldum boat along with you. I don't know how I feel about trading Pokémon over to a play a new game, but this is the Dream Radar after all...
Black/White 1 and 2 are all compatible with each other. It doesn't really matter where you start. They'll all be able to trade and battle and stuff.

Yeah it just takes a while for the clouds to build up.
Ah, doesn't it always? After today I should have a nice set of Play Coins though, so I'll be able to max out my clouds quickly... and hopefully my actual game will arrive soon too! I hope Beldum isn't too hard to catch, since I have yet to upgrade any of my actual capture equipment.

GG! I got so lucky with the confusion/flinch. There was no way that I could have beaten you otherwise. xD

Yeah, that was a bit dumb. I'm surprised you have a Crobat already!

What the fuck are play coins? Like I have tornadus T and I don't have a single one.

It's the coins the 3DS gives every 100 steps you take.
prolly 5% chances.

Oh that's why. I don't take my 3DS anywhere. Portable is synonymous with console for me.

GG on the second one as well! I knew it was over when I was left with Magnemite; it just wasn't fast enough.

GGs, Tomoe! Your Crobat is very deadly!
Yeah. You can earn up to 10 per calendar day and spend up to 15 every day in Dream Radar.
Do you move around the house? Have stairs? Just put the 3DS in your pocket as you're moving around and you should get at least a couple Play Coins.

Why are you confused?

Totally worth the 30 minutes I spent cycling through Castelia last night in order to max Golbat's happiness. xD
You're missing out on the 3DS' best feature, dude! StreetPass is amazing.
if you live in a dense city, maybe. i've gotten one street pass from another person since launch.

Growing up my dad never let me own a home console so handhelds became that for me. I come home, wrap up in my sheets, plug in my headphones and play.
I think the optimal zone is somewhere in between. When you get multiple hits every time you step out, it kind of loses its lustre.
The feeling of getting one or two, not knowing if you're going to get any on a particular day is when it's most satisfying.
Of course if you actually never get any then that sucks
I don't actually play games while I'm out, but I always take the 3DS with me. Often if I'm going somewhere I'm likely to get some hits, I'll take both my systems along (eg. the launch event I went to on Saturday. Got about 30 hits then.)

Did you get the three kami pokemon yet? You can't do it until you accomplish that. Which fucking sucks cuz I really want a beldum for my playthrough.
I ran into Scraggy.

Question about the Dream radar: If i spend my orbs, do I have to build back up to a certain amount in order to see thundurus and landorus?
Ahhh... That explains it.
i'll have Landorus by tomorrow. do you know if you can re-peat the minigame for Beldum?

Serebii says you can. Light metal beldum is stupid though but it's my only means of getting one after the first gym

Main story beaten and Champion status achieved. I think I'll go after my shiny Dratini next, should be fun.
I'm enjoying the parts of the game where it's the Pokemon I know, but everything else is so underwhelming it kind of makes me want to stop.
Here's the movie studio! Here's the avenue! Here's the online! Here's the other online! Here's the other OTHER online! Here's the breeding!
I just... want to catch and battle.

Good thing it's all completely optional!
Some people think the game only starts when you beat the main quest, others just delete their save and go at it again with a different team (Nuzlocke for example). That's part of the fun.

A bunch of the minigame stuff in the recent games does get tedious near the beginning but most of it is just for introduction and is optional (or you just do it once).
Later on you'll be knee deep in battling, catching, training, battling, puzzle solving, cave exploring, battling, and battling. Oh, and battling. Just when you think that trainer looked away for a second BAM they turn and face you. Every. Single. Time.
ideas to boost the longetivy of next pokemon games for those who arent fussed about EV training (or catching them ALL)
1. contests come back. 8 contest halls, earn 8 contest badges to enter the grand finals with item/doll/pokemon/money prizes
2. underground returns on 3DS with streetpass. everyone you pass's underground and character inhabitating gets added to yours so its constantly expanding.
3. pokemon musicals & pokewood return. in the musical case, have different halls for different levels (maybe 4) and badges to earn.
4. pokelympics from hg/ss return, streetpass everyone elses records to beat in-game. again have a badge/medal system for this and stadiums in different towns that might not have gyms.
the game should push these other features and make them a bit fuller and more of a main quest akin to the badges so there is incentive to do them and not just 'oh some other weird side quest'

So I finally decided to play this game (Practicing TTT2 is hard work) but I hate the starters. Anyone want to trade me (All male) a Chimchar, a Lotad and a Gastly? Thank you!
Exercise in the house with it in your pocket. Worked perfectly for Pokewalker.
Wow Beast indeed. I just made it to Castelia.

If anyone doesn't know, Gen V games have no gym badge requirements to use HMs. So if you want to make slaves and trade them over at the beginning, you can.
I found some trainers in the Castelia sewers that were pretty tough by Surfing to places I wasn't yet meant to.

No sidequests or anything done though, just straight through the story. Had to get Easy Mode unlocked and ready to transfer to my younger sister's Black 2 before her birthday party this week.
Though I guess I now have a lot more to do for the endgame. Hell, I didn't even pick up TMs and other items that were literally a few steps away from where I needed to go to advance haha.
