Bred a Sassy Larvitar with kind of shit EV's.
HP 14, 15
Att 8, 9
Def 22, 23
SpA 29
SpD 10, 11
Speed 22, 23
Speed is ok, and SpA is very nice considering I'd be using it for Bolt/Beam/Flamethrower. He'll be an ok mating partner. Now I just need a female parent with some decent attack/spATK/SpD evs.
Also the Power items. I know if a parent holds one the corresponding stat IV will be transferred to the child. Does this work with both parents allowing you to pass the best stat of each parent to the child? If so that would be amazing.

So I haven't really played a pokemon game since Yellow and was thinking to pick this up. I saw that White and Black have some differences beyond pokemon and I'm wondering if those actually matter. White seems better for catching pokemon but what about those rare items? I doubt I'll get into the competitive battle scene and IV/EV training so is White better if just plan to try to get every pokemon I can?

How does the C-gear work anyway? I typically play with it off since I assume better battery life without it on.
You do get better battery life with it off.Super_Chicken said:
Basically it's a lot like the StreetPass on the 3DS. It talks to nearby DS's who also are running Pokemon BW and have C-Gear enabled. It exchanges info and completes surveys and some other cool stuff.
It's also used for trades and battles locally, helps cut down the time needed significantly.
Replay Emerald and then start White when the 3DS comes out.Gravijah said:

So it's mostly for local trading with friends and stuff? That's kinda what I thought.

My little brother traded some ant-eater thing for a Rotom, a Sawsbuck for the white version legendary, a Patrat for Golem, and a female Snivy for a Raikou. All from the same person
What the...
Why can't I be matched up with people like that on the GTS Negotiate thing...
He also hatched 3 Snivy eggs, all three were female. And his original Snivy starter was female.

I need to restart Sapphire and LeafGreen, I want those starters! There isn't a certain point you need to have reached in the DS games to be able to use PokeTransfer is there? And same question for using Pal Park in Gen IV.
Yeah, pretty much. It works better in Japan. However, if you attend college or live in a big city you'll have better luck than most. I get tons of hits at my college.Super_Chicken said:

In Black and White you need to have beaten the Elite Four before you can use the Poketransfer.Green Scar said:
In DPPt and HGSS you need to obtain the National Dex before you're allowed entry.

I've got all the starters, I'm just doing an E4 run to level up some newly hatched pokemon. Do you have any black exclusive pokemons? Or even legendarys to trade back so I can have them showed them caught but so I can request em on GTS.

I've got all 3 Hooved Legendaries, Tornadus, Reshiram, Dialga, Giratina and Lati@s. Any of those take your fancy? My FC is in the Google Doc.

And which specific starters do you need? I'll start hatching the eggs for you.
Gravijah said:
Nope! hahaha. I wish when searching it would give you more than 7 results, of which 6 are legendary requests.

I just noticed that the most recent person to register their FC on the Google Doc is Firestorm. A bit surprising, I would have thought he'd have been one of the first :lol. B/W PokeGAF is approaching 150 people!

In Driftveil, if you show a Pokemon that has a certain move to the girl in the left-most house, she'll give you a Heart Scale. You can do this every day.
So what's a good nature for Thundurus? I'm thinking Rash, to raise his already high Sp. Attack and decrease his poor Defense? His speed already seems quite good. Or perhaps Modest to reduce his quite high attack, as he seems better suited for special attacks?
I get the feeling I'm not actually going to be able to get a proper feel for what natures are useful for which base stats until I try a few competitive games.

If I give a Pokemon a Macho Brace it will double the EV's I get right?
Also reading the description on Bulbapedia, the Power items give your Pokemon 4 EVs after every battle, even if the Pokemon doesn't participate? That seems really really good. Is that even true?

How to choose natures (by Andrex):
- Attack or Special Attack. Choose one.
- Eliminate the natures that don't debuff whichever one you didn't choose.
- Then choose from that selection based on which stat you want to buff the most; usually this is either the attack stat you chose or Speed.
Beginners guide to Natures (by Wiseblade)
1) Pick one of these natures:
Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack)
Modest (+Special Attack, -Attack)
Jolly (+Speed, -Special Attack)
Timid (+Speed -Attack)
Relaxed (+Defense, -Speed)
Sassy (+Special Defense, -Speed)
There is no step 2.
