You actually survived the first hit. Just not the second. >_<

Plus you already had Volt Switch damage. You're a trooper!

Have I beaten any Gym Leader Pokemon?

 

[chickdigger802]

Meh in bw1 it actually required people to use it XD.

Streetpass + steps counter = pokewalker lol

it's a given that the 3ds pokemon will just have streetpass stuff built-in. I hope.

You beat Elesa's Flaaffy and two of the trainers leading up to Elesa. This was your first shot at a gym leader.

 

[Busaiku]

I used a Greatball on it myself, had the same issues.

Yeah, I used 3 Pokebals, to no avail, and just caved with the a Great Ball.
These legendary Pokemon are gonna be really tough...

Can someone explain why leveling up a Drilbur is so hard? I'm training one for Elesa's gym and it can't do any damage to Audinos even with Dig so I have to switch in another Pokémon just to deal damage which means less XP.

AND THEN I HAVE TO TRAIN MY ROGGENROLA

 

[Teknoman]

Is is lucky that I caught an Eevee within 15 seconds of walking on the grass? I wasn't even thinking about him at the time, then I saw him and I was like "Sure, why not." Probably never see another one for some time if I tried. Anyway I'm loving this game a lot simply because you can bulid your "dream" team way earlier than any past games.

Rocking a team of Snivy, Flaaffy, Growlithe, Riolu and Swablu currently. BTW I have a Magby that I'm not crazy about, I wouldn't mind trading the little guy for an Elekid if anyone's interested.

Yes. It took me over half an hour to find one.

Took me about an hour or so. So yup, lucky. Of course I got lucky with Riolu, so I guess I cant complain.

It may have a bad attack iv....but for now what's its nature?

Naughty

 

[MikeMyers]

Naughty

That is a +Atk nature.

And you keep dying in my White 2 run. I gave you the Eviolote to boost your defenses.

 

[ffdgh]

In that case it should be doing decent damage.

 

[Emitan]

It seems like it's doing more damage now. Maybe those Audinos were just freaks.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Audino have a lot of HP relative to others.

 

[Teknoman]

I had no idea Riolu was so weak defensively. I keep putting her in the front...she can do damage but cant take it at all.

 

[MotionBlue]

Stupid question: Is there anyway to get Celebi in B/W-2 outside of transferring?

 

[Busaiku]

Nope.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Burgh gym layout is great.

Haven't really kept up with this series in a long time, is Growlithe (later Arcanine) still good? I have it in the late 20s now and it's pretty weak, haven't evolved it yet though.

 

[zroid]

There probably won't be in the future either, because of that Relocator contraption. I'm sure they believe Celebi has gotten its G5 representation already.

Arcanine is a boss

 

[Emitan]

Attract is the worst move in the game. FUCKING HELL JUST LET ME HIT YOU. ITS THE ONLY REASON YOU EXIST

[MotionBlue]

Nope.

So there's no way to catch every Pokemon? Outside of time travel to get event releases?

 

[UltimateIke]

Haha. In the Lostlorn Forest there is a waterfall. Atop said waterfall stands a Veteran trainer.

At first sight of his 5 Pokémon team, led by a level 51 Larvesta, I immediately pushed L+R+Start+Select.

No thanks.

So there's no way to catch every Pokemon?

You trade/transfer one from an old game.

 

[Izayoi]

Does Genesect get STAB when using Techno Blast if he's holding a steel or bug disc?

 

[Busaiku]

So there's no way to catch every Pokemon? Outside of time travel to get event releases?

Here's the unobtainable list.
"Unobtainable" referring only to Pokemon you can't catch in the main game, barring an event.

Dream World and Dream Radar can help with some of those on the list.
And then the rest are only through trades.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

So, medals are basically achievements, right?

 

[Izayoi]

So, medals are basically achievements, right?

Yep.

 

[Beelzebub]

I'm trying to raise my Eevee's happiness for it to become Espeon, but without him leveling any further beforehand..meh, I feel like I don't want to leave Castelia City till I evolve this bitch, and it's night now so I cant even try... need them massages. Does walking around a ton really help with happiness? I also have a soothe bell on him now. Somehow it was very easy for my Riolu to evolve fairly quickly without any effort except having him placed first in the party.

 

[Busaiku]

How did you even get Waterfall if your Pokemon can't fight him.

 

[Teknoman]

Kinda want to train a Scraggy now...dunno why...used to think it looked stupid but now its won me over somehow.

Helps that it obliterates 3 of the Elite 4.

Traded an HM slave from Black.

Oh
I only have White, White 2, Yellow, Red, and Blue.

 

[alvmew]

There are only drives for water, fire, electric, and ice. So Genesect never gets STAB for Techno Blast.

 

[Busaiku]

There's always GTS.

 

[Izayoi]

Well, that's disappointing.

 

[MotionBlue]

There's always GTS.

I would think legendaries/old starters would be hard to get trades with?

 

[Teknoman]

Heh, soon as I posted that, I cant find a male moxie Scraggy for the life of me. Dont even care about the nature at this point.

[NateDrake]

I'm enjoying this (White 2) a lot more than I did White. Something just feels new about it. Pokemon is everlasting joy.

 

[Data West]

I've always thought the soundtrack's to Pokemon were never anything special. Or at least, the ones I played(originals, Pearl, and Emerald), but the one in this game is so good. It kind of reminds me of Animal Crossing in some cities.

 

[chickdigger802]

Not a fan of the 'WEEEEEE wuuuuu' during trainer battle theme.

I actually checked my receipts and email to see if I preordered one yet. Don't remember lol.

Beat Skyla.

Team update after gym battle #5.

Beef solo'd this entire gym with Surf OHKOs against every Pokémon in the gym. It's also the first time he's had a chance to do anything important.

 

[chickdigger802]

Do y'all use exp share?

 

[Data West]

I'm just not seeing the appeal of Normal moves. I feel like Zangoose dies every time I send him out.

 

[UltimateIke]

Just beat the Driftveil Tournament with PK Gaming, Zeroth, and ScraftyDevil.

I haven't yet this time. But I have in older games.
