Well, which area you go to is randomly selected. The type of pokemon you put to sleep has an influence on it, though.
Hmmmm I didn't know that. Explains a lot, though!

Need something to combat fighting types. So either flying or psychic.
Basically between Sigilyph or the Gothita line.
Gothita's second form learns Psychic at 39 while Sigilyph learns it at 44. Also seems to have a good movepool for TMs.
Think I'm going to opt for Gothita that I can catch right outside of Nimbasa.
Also might be turning my Eevee into something soon. Maybe Jolteon? I have two pokemon that are weak to water so having a direct counter to water might be a good idea.

Is the encounter rate still ridiculously high?
Currently using
Krookodile
Eletabuzz
Lairon
Jellicent
Seviper
Zangoose
I'm looking to sub in either Arcanine, Braviary, Fraxure, Gigalith, Arcanine or Whirlipede
What should I be looking at other than types? What does nature do? I've had Krookodile for a while, and he's great all around, but I've never really been in a situation where I NEED ground or dark.

It's lower from BW.

Also any good HM slaves in this game? Just caught something that can fly. Need something that can learn cut and strength?
if you're playing White 2, theres Braviary which you can catch early on. Perfect for Fly, Cut and Strength.
That's N's Scraggy, I believe.

Does the experience boost stack if you have a traded Pokemon and a Lucky Egg? I'm curious to try it. Not too worried about over leveling them, my latest badge ensures up to level 70 will keep traded Pokemon in line and I'm only at 45 but still...
Trying hard not to resist letting Axew join the trio.

Where do you get one in BW2?
yes.
How much exactly does it boost your XP? It didn't seem big enough so I didn't bother using it.
50% more. It's a huge boost and can be stacked with Pass Powers + being traded, lol.
Yep. I'm in the coastal area on the east side now.
Everyone but Professor Juniper, I guess.
You should already have it. Check your bag again? It's given to you as part of the story.
Anyone?

I awoke extremely early today to the sound of loud music emanating from somewhere in the city. My bed was vibrating strangely; as if the earth itself was generating the music. I got out of bed and pressed my ear to the ground and sure enough, the sound got louder. I asked one of the Pokémon Center employees where the noise might be coming from, and they said it was Roxie's band, Dogars, practicing in their underground club. I decided I would go challenge her right then; not only to get a badge, but also some sleep.
Virbank City was a different place in the early morning. There was no hustle and bustle of people or traffic, no buskers occupying the street corners, and the city was unnervingly still, as if it were frozen in time. If not for the loud music and an unknown rancid stench that seemed to be coming from the same direction, it could have been flawlessly serene.
As I descended into the club, both the music and the smell got more intense. I flung open the doors at the bottom of the stairs only to suddenly be hit by a deafening wave of sound. Roxie's band was hammering away at their instruments like madmen, with the Leader and her drummer screaming into the mic just to add to the clustercuss of noise.
I approached Roxie and tried to shout a challenge at her over the loud music, only to be informed by her keen-eared guitarist that the sound was simply too much for her to understand me, and that I would have to defeat the other band members in order to get my challenge across. The guitarist and drummer's Pokémon fought valiantly, but in the end fell to the might of Jake's Water Gun. Roxie, noticing that her backing had stopped abruptly, whirled around and shouted something that sounded vaguely like a threat before hurling her Pokémon into battle.
She called upon a Koffing, the likeness of which was also plastered on all of her band's posters and instruments. It must have been the source of the stench, became it became almost overwhelming upon its appearance. I chose Ike to do battle, thinking that a Gym battle would prove once and for all whether or not he was a worthy addition to my team. Koffing shot forth a blast of toxic gas, but Ike deftly dodged it like a dynamic dancer, and fired a plume of flame that hit its target with a satisfying "FWOOM," and knocking it into the ground. The spherical Pokémon rose weakly back into the air, and I knew that the fight was over before it even had a chance to begin. With another blast of Ember, the Koffing collapsed into a charred, smelly heap.
In commemoration of my victory, I was awarded the Toxic Badge as well as the TM for Venoshock (what is it with Gym Leaders and giving out TMs I have no use for?). Roxie seemed a bit despondent about her loss, but maybe that was just because she would be washing the smell of roasted Koffing out of her clothes for the next month. I ignored her negativity and instead focused my attention and praise on Ike. He performed better than I could have dreamed, and earned his status of a loyal warrior to his trainer.
I'll check out PokéStar studios later this afternoon (Desmond's favourite films are made there, so maybe I can somehow get his attention through them), but for now I need to rest. I have some sleep I need to catch up on.

Nothing cool about low standards.

Bleh, I think one of the only things I miss from Gen IV was the amazing Pokémon Center at night remix. I spent many a late night just sitting there and listening to that song while stroking my dog. It's borderline therapeutic.

That's probably the coolest thing there ever was.
Well, when they added the running shoes in Gen III, they had the Mach Bike and Acro Bike to give you a better alternative. The bike now is just the same bike it's always been.
