Catching N's Pokemon helps unlock a new set of postgame battles with N.

Hmm... I accidentally fainted his Joltik in Chargestone Cave. Do fainted pokemon of his respawn?

 

[Data West]

Anyone?

No I got a street pass yesterday with White 2 not running but in the slot

 

[FSLink]

What the fuck.

My brother makes a bet saying holding down + B would work on catching

Spoiler

Virizion and Cobalion

, and after attempting several times, his suggestion worked(?) for both of them.

I don't want to believe :\

It was just luck. (In before people quote my post and say "WELL HOLDING DOWN RIGHT WORKS FOR ME" and shit)

 

[Roto13]

Nothing cool about low standards.

Yeah, better to be one of those classy types who catches a Pokemon and then gets mad about it.

 

[Fewr]

Wait, if a DS cart is in my 3DS but the DS game isn't running, is it in DS mode?

Gonna be pissed if that's the reason I haven't got StreetPasses the past two days.

???

Before having White2 in my 3DS I used to have the latest Layton game inside. I never played it, I only used 3DS stuff (browser, Virtual Console, 3DS games, music, camera, etc). I still got plenty of streetpasses.

EDIT: Probably everyone around you is using C-gear and you're missing out.

Pokémon are like babies. Are you gonna judge your kid when its a newborn for being a slow runner later in life if you could find that out at birth?

Babies that you throw into a box where they are most likely to never see the light of day again.

and take the good ones to breed with other babies just so you can get the best baby with the best IVs.

I never considered that...

Admittedly I've become more of a Find Mii hat addict than a Pokemon one

What? No no no. You get them to breed with an amorphous blob who imitates other pokemon, and by the end will have fucked more than the Witcher.

Beat Drayden:

Stoutland beat Dugggon
Crobat beat Flygon
And it took my entire team, but finally a Level 36 Skarmory beat Haxoros

 

[BatDan]

Been busy grinding for my 649 run (going to try to fill the Unova Dex first) and got my team like this.
Samurott: 38
Venusaur: 37
Staraptor: 37
Blaziken: 37
Electabuzz: 37
Vibrava: 37

I think a couple more levels to take on Skyla wouldn't hurt.

[Universaldamps]

Got my self a level 5 Tornadus from the dream radar which I promptly transfered over to my game. It feels a bit different having a legendary before obtaining even the first gym badge.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Well, that was a close match with you-know-who. Thank you Close Combat /bow

 

[Trey]

HMs need to be done away with. Such a terrible game mechanic.

Edit: Not done away with. Improved.

 

[Emitan]

It's out in Europe and Wiseblade hasnt posted. Is he finally gone?

Turning them into key items would be the best.

OMG! Why does Deino require 10k steps to hatch? FU Gamefreak ;_;

Edit: Nvm egg finally hatched lol

 

[Vee_One]

How does this game look on the 3DS?

 

[Styles]

Anyone have a spare low-level Leafeon they can give me? Much appreciated if you do. <3 An Adamant nature one is even better! PM me.

[Roto13]

The same way all 2D DS games look on 3DS. Shitty.

 

[Busaiku]

No way man.
It looks like a game designed for 3DS, just cropped.

Nothings blurred or anything.

 

[Vee_One]

Ok cool
To clarify I meant the 3DS XL, my mistake.

 

[Roto13]

You say this but it makes no sense. Both because I tried it myself and saw with my own eyes that it looks like shit, and because it's the same filter on every single DS game.

Ok cool

On 3DS XL you can play it in native res without it being too tiny to see, so that'll be fine.

 

[SlowRevolution]

got a Heracross, that thing's an absolute beast.

the volt switch move in the electric gym was like gen-1 level trolling. Took so long to beat Emolga.

 

[Kokonoe]

Where is Heracross?

 

[Red]

34 great balls and i finally have heracross. Why was that so difficult

 

[MikeMyers]

Where is Heracross?

Only in B2, W2 has Pinsir instead I think.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Where is Heracross?

I got it in Lostlorn Forest, think it's exclusive to Black 2.

 

[Emitan]

Trading Magnemites on the Black Market

 

[Roto13]

I still don't know why one of them doesn't evolve into the other.

 

[Kokonoe]

Thanks, I picked superior Black so I'll be getting it. Also, free Zorua? first time I'm ever going to use this Pokemon. I think it'd be pretty awesome if I have Lucario, Heracross, and Zoroark on my team.

 

[Red]

I loaded up two hm slaves from white so i could explore early. Just got wiped out by a veteran trainer with a lvl51 larvesta and pinsir. Should be more careful. My highest level is Ampharos @31.

 

[Roto13]

I just got the last badge and I think I might start taking my shiny level 100 Thundurus with me. Just as a safety net.

 

[Trey]

Lucky Egg + shaking grass and trainers on Route 7 is crazy easy EXP. I got a sum of 10 or so levels in a few minutes. There's a healing lady right there, too. I should probably just grind up a few more levels before the scaling takes all the fun out of killing so many Audinos. It can't be stressed enough: so many dead Audinos.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Trash Master medal... Game Freak is straight up trolling me at this point.

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.

What?

 

[Exterminieren]

It's out in Europe and Wiseblade hasnt posted. Is he finally gone?

The shops haven't even opened yet. Give him time; I haven't got mine, either.

 

[gosox333]

Can't figure out how the Strange House is supposed to work. I spent five minutes just running around in there and couldn't get the Lunar Wing that Bulbapedia says is in there.

 

[Kokonoe]

He...he...he said it...

He said this in-game..

YES.

 

[MikeMyers]

He...he...he said it...

[MetalGuardian]

There are 300 Pokemon in the Unova Dex... do more appear once the National Dex is unlocked?

 

[UltimateIke]

He...he...he said it...

YES.

I really hate that in the full video that clip is from it shows the player character with one of his Pokémon following him at all times, but they still haven't brought that feature back from HG/SS.
