Thinking about it, I'm a bit nervous about the series' debut on 3DS... it could mean the game speed regresses again as Game Freak learns their way around the new hardware.

I'm at the Elite Four, but I'm getting my ass kicked, so I decided to level up some other Pokemon better suited to fight the Elite Four, however they are in the lower 30s. What's the best way to get level them up to the appropriate level?

So what are the evolution parameters on MetalKid's IV calculator for anyway?

Another question: Do IV's stay the same when a Pokemon evolves?

Man, I'm looking forward to Sunday when I can start playing Pokémon White. I'm trying my hardest not to read this thread to keep myself from being spoiled by anything.

That said, I may pick up a strategy guide since I don't know ANY of the new Pokémon.

I hope to fuck not. It seems like they learned A LOT from Pearl/Diamond/Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White to throw it all away with the next Gen/Gray.

Spend all your money and do suicide runs on the E4. Use Exp share and lucky egg.

Fight Audinos in route 10 by running around until you see shaking grass. There are also trainers in the Nimbasa sports domes that you can fight that are at your level.

Am I the only one who thought the Relocator (main menu) option was something to port your D/P or HG/SS pc boxes over to W/B?

When I realized it was to only transfer 4 legendary pokemone over prior to beating the Elite 4, I really felt GF dropped the fucking ball... especially now that we have to move our stuff over like it's coming from a GBA game...

When will they get this shit right?

Doesn't mean anything. It took them 5 years of DS development to get the series back to Gen 3 speeds.

Do you have a Karrablast too? We could go two for two. Also, do you want your Pokemon back? I was thinking about a permanent trade.

Yeah, but that was a transition from 2D to 3D-ish. It shouldn't be too bad going to the 3DS since they've already had experience with 3D.

W/B feels slower than HG/SS. Menu management is slower as well, as is PC functions.

I think I'm disappointed with this game.

for me they go:

HG/SS > G/S > D/P > R/B > W/B > R/S

Battles are way faster, though. And it's BW, damn it.

maybe fore the GBA games.

There's nothing like that for DS games. Pokemon Ranch won't let you put those pokemon on anything other than the original trainer's pc.

The battles feel slower than in HG/SS. And if they aren't slower, then they are equal in speed.

But menus, UI, and pc are all slower/worse than HG/SS.

So you'll need me to trade both back, then?

The menus are indeed worse, but I believe that's because there's two different teams inside Game Freak - the remake team and the main team. While the HG/SS team were making awesome menus, the main team was basically taking what they had done with Platinum and putting it into B/W.

With animations off, I don't see how HGSS is faster. Especially when it comes to weather. I'll boot them both up later to compare, I guess.

No, just one. We'll make three trades.

My karrablst for your shelmet. You'll keep this.

Then my shelmet for a karrablast. We'll trade these back.

Finally, if you want, I'll give you a different, already evolved Accelgor, which you'll keep.

I have animations off and it still feels slower. Probably because 1/3 of the world is always raining.

Definitely not. I've been going back to HeartGold to catch a few Pokemon to transfer over to Black now and then and the battles and PC are unquestionably slower in HeartGold than they are in Black.

HG/SS's battles, menu manipulation, dialogs, and general game speed are all markedly slower than B/W and I really don't see how anyone can say otherwise.

HG/SS PC box is a lot more touch-friendly though.

Oh, yeah, the text speed too. I didn't realize it was so slow in HG until I went back after playing Black. It seemed ok at the time but now it just feels like it's crawling.

Agreed.

However Platinum had the best PC (if it were as touch-friendly as HGSS, like Andrex points out)

I'm still relatively new to the Pokemon games as HeartGold was my first foray into the series. If anyone had the time, could you explain to me what exactly I would need to do to breed a Scraggy that knows Dragon Dance, Drain Punch, and Ice Punch? (Which parents to use in what order, etc.) I've looked over the basics of breeding but the Ice Punch move is throwing me off because it can only be chain bred, which is still way over my head. Any help is appreciated.

Searching on google I saw smeargle mentioned. :p

EDIT: It looks like it's true. Obtain a smeargle, have it sketch dragon dance and ice punch and you should be set.

I tried going through it but I'm not sure it's possible, without a Smeargle as said.

For Ice Punch specifically, you need a male Medicham. Medicham learns Ice Punch by default so if it doesn't have that move, then go to the Move Relearner and pay a Heart Scale to make it relearn it. Then breed it with a female Buneary or Lopunny. The resulting Buneary should have Ice Punch. Make sure it is male. Breed that with a female Scraggy. It should have Ice Punch.

I've never seen a chain breed as complex as you requested though. The father is the one passing down moves and the mother passes down the species... I don't see how it's possible.
