Andrex said:Hey with B/W that's not really an insult anymore..
Hehe, yeah, I agree. For example, the story. There was a post a little while back from someone who was not very familiar with Pokémon saying that B/W story was a 2/10 at least, but they don't know how we had it throughout all these years.
I'm very pleased with B/W, can't wait to go home and play the final story battles (saved right in front of

In fairness to that poster, you should hold Pokémon to the standards of other games in the medium, not other entries in the same series.Andrefpvs said:
I'm pleasantly surprised with the story, but I would like GameFreak to take it further with Gen VI.
I don't even mean over-arching story, because I think ultimately that should always be at it's simplest "I wanna be the very best". But having a lot more mini-stories in all the cities, the character development of your rival(s) (especially Bianca this time around, that has been so satisfying to watch), the way all the gym leaders know each other and seem like friends, helping each other out. All that stuff.

Nearing the 6th gym with
Pignite: 32
Stoutland: 32
Tirtouga: 30
Vanillite: 30
Munna: 30
Unfezant: 32
I'm planning on getting them all up to level 36 or so before I challenge the 6th gym.

Yes, yes, of course! I was not saying they were wrong. Even Final Fantasy I had more story than most Pokémon games. I was just saying that there was a reason old fans were pleased by the changes in storytelling, something that perhaps newcomers to the series would not understand.
Suairyu said:
Me too. I always thought about a game where, I dunno, something really intriguing is going on, like you solve the mysteries and end the story, and then you worry about the badges and the league. Or anything similar that would break away from the traditional Gyms->League->Champion foundation.
How did that go?Izayoi said:
And you guys all know that the best story would be beating the champion and then Oak introducing himself and being all "here's a camera and an on-rail transport vehicles now go take pictures of Pokémon" and it turns into Pokémon snap and your career as a Pokémon Watcher begins.
Well not so much grafting as using his own cells and Mew's cells to create Mewtwo.Suairyu said:
He worked with Rocket as the lead scientist on the project.
In any case, it's awesome. At one point Rocket took over Saffron city. Trainers of all kinds participated and it was for all intents and purposes a war zone, the streets were crowded with Pokemon battles and the city was burned the ground.
The manga does a great job of putting Pokemon in a far more realistic light than the show or games (up until Gen V maybe). It shows just how dangerous Legendary Pokemon actually are and how powerful Pokemon in general are. Hell, Red and Giovanni destroyed the Viridian City gym in their battle.
Shit's neat.

In order to get more pokemon in the white forest you need to use the Entralink feature with someone who has Pokemon Black this apparently can only be done locally.
Woffls said:I've only found like 8 different species in white forest
You have to invite NPC's to come to white forest using entralink, the more trainers who visit the forest the more pokemon are avliable to catch.
Is pretty lame if you don't have someone locally playing the game to connect to.
You can get most of them through the dream world but its not avalible until the 30th and it all depends on what pokemon Game Freak have in the dream world at that time.
As for gen VI im hoping for proper DLC and yea an evolution in story telling would be great.

God dammit >_< I'm renting Pokémon Black when I get my 3DS, hopefully I'll get Entralink early on.Hatchet Man said:
Also, how early on can I trade between two copies of the game locally? Going through the whole thing and beating the Elite 4 just to trade a starter and Reshiram is... actually, yeah, totally worth it.

Big city, everything is expensive. How appropriate.BGBW said:
Playing White with hundreds of other people was so crazy at PAX East. The amount of local connectivity options the C-Gear gives is really crazy. using the Entralink was nuts, seeing a Pikachu run up to you and give you a bonus power was so neat, and going into someone else's game was crazy fun!
It's like a whole different game now.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
More stupid GTS stuff...
Like Cofagrigus, Marshtomp and Skuntank can't be traded with their official names over the GTS due to the "sht" and "kunt" in their names. >.>

I'm sure they can. I remember legendaries being banned for a short time on the GTS in early Diamond & Pearl, but they ended up fixing that as well...

Nice!
Speaking of, am I correct in understanding that:
The unreachable places in Icirrus City are accessible during the winter, and the unreachable places in Pinwheel Forest are accessible during the spring?

Does anyone know any good gridning spots? I'm up to the E4 at ATM with 2 level 50s and the rest were caught level 40-ish so their stats suck. They keep getting beaten by level 30s.

Dammit, this is the third day in a row the Musical Man in Opelucid City hasn't given me an item! I haven't been messing with the clock. Has this happened to anyone else? I tried doing a google search but couldn't find anyone with the same problem

God. Damn. FINALLY.
Caught Metang at lvl 63 after god knows how many ultra balls and restarts. Harder than any other to catch so far for me. But then, I'm only false-swiping as I've not bothered to see if I have anything that knows slp/par/frz/brn etc moves yet. I probably have.

Collecting all 100 props turns your trainer card a different color, and it's easy enough to spend five seconds talking to the Musical Dude everydayRaxus said:
Plus who knows when I'll want to make my Excadrill all fancy for a night out on the town
I bought the game launch day. The only props I have (other than what you start with) are the ones he has given me.Suairyu said:
Maybe I have to actually perform in the musical every once in a while for him to keep giving me free shit? After all, he DOES ask me if I'm a huge musical fan each day, and I keep lying to him. He can probably check entrance records for contestants and verify that I am indeed not a huge musical fan. That sneaky bastard

It's just a shame most people will never get that experience. I doubt even the biggest nerd convention here will have many people with the game present.
