Amulet coin is your friend. I make sure it's always on the first Pokemon in my party.

Ah I see. That's post game I guess then?

 

[Android18a]

Going on random single battle for a bit. If you face a girl trainer called Android from the UK, it's me

Amulet Coin? No, you should get it during the main game. I can't remember where though... Hmm...

So I guess I'm not ready to shit Dittos, after all.

Two of them can breed to make more, can't they? I've tried pairing three of them up so far, and they all "prefer to play with other Pokemon."

I guess it's possible all of these have the same parents, but I'm skeptical.

Edit: Am dumb.

ditto's can't mate.

 

[Balb]

Can somebody explain how this game is better then pearl and diamond?

If you're specifically referring to d/p, b/w are much faster games battle-wise, surf-wise etc. If you compare it to Platinum, it's hard for me to say which is better to be honest.

 

[btkadams]

Stunfisk is great, even its cry is good.

it creeps me out

I don't think it matters if it says that. Just keep going back and forth.

Oh snap you are right. You get it from Castelia City.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Yeah, it's impossible to get a Ditto egg.

 

[Woffls]

I think you get the Amulet Coin after gathering the 3 street dancers in Castelia City!

 

[Reknoc]

It looks and sounds like a pokemon that has given up with life, even though its animation is a weird snicker.

 

[thetechkid]

In the big city by defeating the three dancers and forming a breakdance crew in the park.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Amulet Coin + buying Bottled Water, Soda Pop, etc. instead of potions = Money money, everywhere

I have like 300k and I haven't even faced the Elite Four yet.

 

[ryan-ts]

Been trying to trade for a Japanese Axew on GTS for the past 30 minutes, everything works great until I actually try to complete the trade.

 

[Woffls]

WHAT.

I've seen every Pokémon in the Unova Dex (Well, 152 of them) and Juniper was just liek "oh, well done, now catch all of them". Do I really get nothing for doing that?

Well first you are missing one and

yes you get nothing :/

Why would you get something for just seeing them? That requires like no effort anyways...

Even for catching all 649 all you get is a plaque or something I think. If you're doing it for in-game loot you're going to be very disappointed.

 

[MatthewB92]

Wait I changed my DS clock because of daylight saving so that means I can't do any daily updates today? WTF!!!!

 

[UltimateIke]

Ah, that reminds me. Gotta bring my Surfing Raichu into BW and maybe use it for my White playthrough!

Funny thing about that. Pokemon that know HM's (Surf) can't be transferred. So I don't think you can delete Surf, transfer Raichu, and reteach it. I was going to move my Surfing Pikachu from Diamond (from Pokemon Battle Revolution), but I don't think I can use the Surf HM on it.

What are daily updates?

Also, a question on Entralink: one of the missions requires player 1 to talk to player 2 while p2 is in a battle. But p1 can only access main towns, and can't explore routes or get near long grass/trainers. So where is this possible?

I traded for a Swanna that knew Surf and Dive without any issues. Does the HM rule only apply to previous gens?

swarm pokemon, battling the rich family, battling the guy at the pokemon company and other stuff.

Yes. It applies to the PokeTransfer for moving Pokemon from the old games.

Argh, I forgot about that. I am so very sad.

Yes. Not hold items, either.

You get a stone from that parasol woman in the Moor of Icirrus, and also the guy in the Castelia gallery asking for a certain type of Pokemon each day.

I guess I should compile a list like I did for HG/SS.

This thread (and all Pokemon threads) are the most fun to read. There are so many different things going on. Trades being set up, stories of glorious battles, and so much more. Pokemon is really unique in how many different ways it lets you approach the game. <3

There's a list of the daily/weekly events on Serebii.

Edit: If you're going to change your clock, do it before the day ends at 10:30 or 11:30 or so.

 

[D-Pad]

Yeah. Rule: Don't change your DS clock. Stupid overlook by Nintendo that's not exclusive to Pokemon. Animal Crossing doesn't like it either. :\

 

[BGBW]

I love the fact that once a rock has been moved it goes down a hole.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Anyways I know some people don't like fanart being posted here but I thought this was too cool to pass up. I'll link it because it is pretty big.

All the Pokemon and important NPCs in the series forming a heart. And they're all shiny.

Be sure to press the plus magnifying glass.

Also if anyone remembers I had a Picasa album for fanart that some people liked, but I decided to focus on my IRL photography so I deleted it. I've since moved that photography to its own account and will be reposting that fanart with some new stuff I've found since then. What's great is a couple weeks ago, Picasa made it so you can do unlimited uploads if the size is less than 800x800. It'll be here when I upload the rest.

Anyways, enough rambling about stuff nobody cares about.

 

[btkadams]

i have a question about this. if you push the big boulders into the rock, are they down there forever so that you don't need to bring a pkmn with strength through that area again?

 

[MatthewB92]

Yeah. Rule: Don't change your DS clock. Stupid overlook by Nintendo that's not exclusive to Pokemon. Animal Crossing doesn't like it either. :\

I fixed it. Just change the clock to 11:58 and the date to a random date and that will fix it if you wait until 12 AM.

 

[BGBW]

Yep. Once a rock in down a hole it will always stay there. That's why I love it.

that's probably the best thing about this whole game. it sucked having to always bring an hm slave through the previous games' caves/mountains.

Amulet Coin is in Castelia city. You've got to gather the three dancers.

Im really digging this generation, the last game I played was HG/SS which I absolutely loved because it was probably the 1st game I ever really went in depth into. (EV training, breeding, etc.)

R/B > HG/SS > B/W
Is how it seems to be for me, nothing will ever beat the feeling when I started my first pokemon game.


Few questions for the regulars,
- No more Lucky Eggs? Best way to grind levels is now what?
- Where do I get the EXP share?

Thanks

 

[Christine]

Well, I've put in about 9 hrs so far.

I haven't played any of the games since Blue, so I'm pretty impressed.

I guess I will have to get some of the Gen IV games to catch 'em all?

 

[Wiseblade]

Yeah, so I just went to the

You get given a Lucky Egg in the story. EXP share... the first is in Castelia City in the battle building I think. Battle your way to the manager.

Sucks, in HG I had about 10 lucky eggs and in the last official thread here I gave away a bunch to GAF'ers.

 

[thetechkid]

So wait just to clarify, if I catch a surfing pikachu(still need to do that) on the pokewalker, I can or cannot transfer it to B/W after I get the national dex?
