There are a few scattered points in the game where you're given a text box to read even though no one is on screen except your character, and I kept wondering if that was meant to be him/her taking or thinking. If so, sounds like Other M Samus due the stupidly obvious things that get said. From the end of the game, as you're watching

the orb float in the air, absorbing energy and then releasing Zekrom/Reshiram, you are simultaneously reading: "the orb absorbs energy and releases something!"

It's nobody in particular. Just the game telling you what's going on.

Actually it's Professor Oak but since you never actually met him before you don't recognize his voice.

Professor Oak is dead.

How else would he be omnipresent? All this time he's been a Yamask.

Professor Oak is dead.

It's his spirit.

Oak's words echoed... There is a time and a place for everything! But not now.

 

[Gravijah]

Professor Oak is really just an embodiment of Mew.

Pfft. Barry and Cheren are way better rivals than Silver.

I can't speak for Barry because I skipped Gen 4 but Cheren isn't even a real rival. Does he ever talk shit about the player? He's your friend, not a rival.

A friend who wants to beat you more than anything and ambush attacks you out of nowhere.

Barry was on speed and Cheren is a loser

Would have died with nostalgia if an adult silver made it into the game

Cheren is a punk who I whipped good despite losing half my team going through a gym. Cheren can't hold the players jock.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

My only problem with Cheren is that he seemed cool but he had almost no personality. Bianca was more interesting but for most of the game she's an annoying airhead.

 

[r4z4]

Finally got a female Eevee! Time to breed my Eevee team!

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Cheren and Bianca were fine, i've never really cared much about the rival since they are all normally easy except for that Blue . No rival will be on his level again until they have them becoming champion or moving on to be something more than some person who I curbstomp one last time before going to the e4.

A childhood friend who thinks of nothing other than getting stronger, beating you and becoming champion. Say what you like about Cheren, but he's motivated.

Silver annoys me because it feels like GF decided that all a rival needs is douchiness to be good. I didn't play HG/SS, but when I played Gold and Crystal his whole "Pokémon are nothing but tools. I hate the world. Why did my parents name me Silver?" schtick got old really fast.

Still, even he's better than Wally.

Well, (end game)

N becomes champion here, although he's still pretty easy. Ghetsis is much more difficult.

 

[Roto13]

Apparently Tynamo appear in one cave and at a rate of 2%. I really don't want to wander around that cave for a year. Does anyone have a spare, or can someone breed me one?

You get better odds in the lowest basement of that cave (8%, I believe).

After beating the Elite Four today, I really liked what they did with the end game instead of it being the same as every gen before. Here's my team:

Smoky (Lv.54)

Broccoli (Lv.52)

Obsidian (Lv.52)

Ramses (Lv.53)

Terrorpin (Lv.51)

Mango (Lv.53)

And holy shit you guys weren't kidding about the trainers suddenly jumping in level after the end of the game. A random trainer with only three Pokemon got me down to my last team member and nearly wiped me out, when nothing in the game except

Spoiler

Ghetsis

has brought me that close to defeat.

 

[Magnus]

You guys should really try going into the E4/bosses with just one or two Pokemon at 45+. It's so much more nail-biting and exciting.

Ghetsis

for anything, even my highest level guys were dropping like flies. I ended up trading my brother for a level 80+ Reshiram and using him. But the endgame, despite the level difference, has been a breeze.

My team prior to adding Reshiram was Haxorus lvl 56, Krookodile lvl 52, Musharna lvl 51, Samurott lvl 53, Elektross lvl 51, and a Timburr I was raising at the time.

I went through 20+ revives and 10+ full revives in that fight twice before calling it quits and trading my brother. Wasn't worth the frustration. As soon as he pulled out

yea I beat the game, i'm conflicted on whether or not to consider N a rival though he feels more like a rival than an enemy especially with

the awkward ferris wheel ride and that random chat out side the 6th gym

Though if I consider him a rival he's definitely in second for

I was training balanced (all 6 at 50-55) and I couldn't beat the Elite 4.

So I started focusing on Haxorus. Suddenly, he's level 63 and sweeping Elite 4 members with Swords Dance + Dragon Claw.

Basically, it would have taken me forever to beat the Elite 4 with a balanced team.

Haxorus really is hax, I basically did the same thing you did but after the E4 (when you really need a powerhouse.) I should know by now any pseudo-legend dragon is going to dominate but I still say damn when he one-shots Pokemon over 10 levels higher after just one Dragon Dance.

Haxorus aint no psuedo legendary. Outside of attack, he's not very impressive.

I'm working on importing my old team from Pearl now to get my party beefed up. Metagross, Tyranitar, and Garchomp have been a huge help.

 

[Octorockin']

It's his spirit.

Oak's words echoed... There is a time and a place for everything! But not now.

Haha, good stuff.

Cheren is alright, but I'm basically using a bored sounding voice when reading his dialogue because there's not a whole lot of personality going on.

Bianca is the most interesting of the two I think, but I just like how they are actively involved with the stuff going on during the game.

I'm missing some of those double battles in Diamond in Pearl though, where you would meet a random person and fight alongside them. Cheren and Bianca could have filled that void, especially for three on three battles, which I wish there were more of.....

Complaints aside, It's a fun game so far, and I love the new Pokemon designs. I just need one more badge to go.

 

[Roto13]

Ha, found a Tynamo after four encounters.

 

[Magnus]

They certainly did come close to wrecking me, and I admit, I wiped out once against

Spoiler

Ghetsis

, but it was exciting. 3 Max Revives and Full Restores were essential, haha.

My Emboar at 57 was the key.

I don't know how you'd lose with a whole team at 50+. Wouldn't you just bring out the right types and annihilate them with a series of one-shots?

 

[Mr. Sam]

You almost made me think you were a man for a second there.

 

[Mt Heart Attack]

Oh, I thought it was the same rate all the way through. That's not too bad.

I just came out of the cave and I found at least four of them. It's not that rare really, you're going to stumble into one eventually.

Hydreigon is Unova's Psuedo-legend. Haxorus just happens to have really lopsided stats.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Wrapping my head around those RNG tutorials is a pain and it's getting on my nerves. I guess I'll just try again tomorrow so I don't end up punching a wall or something. :/

Also Octillery can't learn Ice Breath which is sad.

Cheren and Silver have the exact same motivation, to be strongest. Both fail entirely and both change by showing more love to their Pokemon. Same idea as the first generation, let's not kid ourselves.

Silver is a just a mean bastard, don't sure where you got this whole "I hate the world" idea from. Thats not his character at all. Eventually he has a change of heart. stops being a mean guy and is redeemed. Cheren doesn't go through any of that, he just happens to run into the player a few times and loses battles.

Silver hates the weak and opposes Team Rocket for being a group of weaklings that came together. Cheren...well he has glasses.

Finding out that you can buy max revives at the market blew my mind (theyre not exactly max revives.. but theyre herb max revives)

now Nothing can stop me.

wow Pokemon with a good end game i know and say everyone saying it was going to be good but not like this

I really should start ev training if i want in that gaf tournament but eh i dunno if i will be ready in time.

If you can breed Archen, does anyone have one they are willing to trade? I am only at the 5th gym, so I don't have anything to really offer.. =/

You do realise you are basically making your Pokemon eat lemons to revive them right?
They hate you.

[Glix]

I need help understanding how this works.

Can someone elaborate beyond. DS + WiFi router + Website.

I cant figure this out.

Also can I do this to get celebi for b&w

its really easy. As long as the computer and DS are connecting through the same router, just queue up the pokemon you want and then go to the GTS (NOT in BW, its for D/P and HG/SS) and then the pokemon will be waiting for you as soon as you enter the GTS.

ONLY ONE AT A TIME

and yes to the celebi question.
