So the game clock grows even when your ds is closed? That's weak. I thought closing it effectively puts it to sleep (ie:pauses).

It does, but my theory is that doing so forces the game into sleep by the Nintendo DS. But when wireless is active, Pokemon B/W does its own "sleep mode" that still counts the time. B/W's sleep mode just turns of the screen and speakers, it doesn't put the actual game into an alternate state.

So they basically made the game save clock completely inaccurate and useless.
It's so you can exchange data with people who are also playing the game with their C-Gear on even when you have your DS on in your pocket. If you don't care for that, just turn it off. Having wireless on all the time drains the battery more too.

I want the c-gear on so I can finish the surveys in castelia.

Is it just me, or is Rufflet kinda brittle? Finally caught one this morning (lvl 35), and my Unfezant (lvl 40) can take more hits than he can. Do I just have to keep on grinding him, or what? :/

IVs, EVs, nature, and levels could be making a significant difference.

He'll get a lot better when he evolves, which doesn't happen until lvl 54...

Hmm, I have 16 BP. Do I spend it on a Toxic Orb so that I can use my cheapo Breloom or do I spend it on a Power item to increase my breeding speed? Also, does the Battle Subway give more BP than previous Battle Towers? I don't remember getting 16 BP from only a 21 streak.

I really wish penny arcade or something would do a comic parodying the ferris wheel scene. It's so awkward.

"Let's get on the ferris wheel and see if we can spot team plasma from the top!"
"I love ferris wheels. I love the circular motion."
"BTW I'm king of Team Plasma. Sup dude?"

Actually, I'm pretty sure Pokemon is paying homage to the ferris wheel scene in The Third Man:

Also, does anyone else find Musharna to be really creepy looking?

It looks like a friggin fetus with an umbilical cord.
 
I wish I had a second DS to trade from my Diamond to my White when the time comes. I checked a while ago and I have some Pokemon with the Pokerus. I'd sure like to have that in this game, too :p

To be fair, Serebii has almost all the info you need.

But I have to wait nine months until I can get every last accessory due to my birthday! DAMNIT.
They don't mention how to get the Cake, Crown, Belt, or Tiarra. Which is what I needed.

I could give you a Pokemon with the Pokerus.

I don't bother with IVs or EVs since I don't (and probably never will) play competitively. Rufflet is Calm with Unfezant being Rash if that makes such a big difference.

Achtius said:
You are comparing a fully evolved pokemon with some ev in def/hp/sp def to a new unevolved one ;O

Unfezant have a bit higher defense, but way lower special defense.

I was going to mention that it wasn't really fair comparing a unevolved first form to a fully evolved Pokemon that's 5 levels higher but I guess I thought that would be taken for granted.

:/

Always count on a 999 fan to be awesome. I don't really have anything worthwhile, to be honest; and all my stuff is nicknamed, haha.
If you have a spare Fire/Ice/Lightning stone, or some other evolution stone, that would come in handy since I'm working on completing the Pokedex. But if not, that's fine. My friend code is number 53 on the list.

EDIT: Ice Stone? WTF, that doesn't exist.

Well the point is it still has those things even if you don't pay attention to them. Your Unfezant could have 31 IVs in everything and your Rufflet could have only 1, for example.

As for EVs, your Unfezant is loaded with them since you've been playing with it for so long, whereas your Rufflet is a blank slate.

Oh gosh I just used the Poke Transfer to get Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard. There's no going back now. D:

By the way, regarding this image in the OP:

Looks like there's a way to customize the C Gear, but how?

In Japan you could download wallpapers from NWFC (or the Dream World I think.)

Do any of you with Black version need a Braviary? I have an extra one that is about to get released if I don't trade it.


Fair enough.
Could I have it? Is there anything particular you want in return?

Pokedex too but you have to wait for the pokemon site to open on the 30th. But you can change the icons by pressing the cgear button.

WTF trying to name my boxes and I can't used the scheme in SoulSilver I used (#001-030 for example), because "Numbers can not have more than four digits WTF??

I don't need anything in return, unless you are willing to part with an extra PP Up.

FC: 0303 9099 2313

I got your FC from the list.

Same thing happened to me. I was pissed. Still am.

Yeah that was really dumb. Just name your boxes 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 I guess

1, 31, 61, 91

Excellent. I'm out of Fire Stones. :p Gimme a minute to make my way to a Pokemon Center and I'll be right there.

EDIT: I'm in the room. Let me know if you don't see me. (I see you in the wi fi room, UltimateIke. :p)

So where can I check IVs and EVs? The npc in the Battle Subway, or should I use a online calculator?

Personally I wouldn't worry about it until you evolve him. If he's still a wimp, then you can decide whether or not to drop him.

I like that I have enough people registered now that I can go in and see two or three people I'm not even expecting to be there. It's neat.
