Why is the inventory system in this game so abysmal
Gravijah said:
You remembered correct, it's just that clicking on the right area on the scroll bar is kind of tedious as the area is too small. I would still like them to implement such a feature in their next game though as it'll make scrolling much better for me.

Are you using a Pokemon that has a static ability at the front?Duki said:
So, I defeat the "Champion" and get into post game! Yeah!
Transfer my Pokeymanz over from SoulSilver. Yeah!
Run into my first new trainer in the wild. Yeah!
He rocks a team of 62+ Pokes who beat me until I'm in a coma in a ditch. WHAT THE FUCK.
How the hell am I suppose to do this shit? All my Pokes are in the high 40's and low 50's.

Jolly. Was breeding with power items + everstone for max speed and jolly nature. The parents also had max attack IVs so Ihad the chance of passing that down through inheritance. I hit all the right gears and got a shiny out of itGravijah said:
IVs are pathetic (single digits) for all the other stats, though.
Chorazin said:Well crud. I want to play more of White but having to grind while I could be playing a shiny new 3DS game instead makes me want to not play as much.
Haha, grinding shouldn't take that much of your time with lucky egg and stuff... but a shiny new 3DS is also fun!
Also, go to big stadium and little court. Great for grinding for experience and money.
Every day, each one will have 6 singles battles and 2 doubles battles (I think).
That's 16 trainer battles every day, each of which involves pokemon leveled in the 60s. Use lucky eggs and an amulet coin and watch the experience and money roll in (With an amulet coin, you should be getting over 10k pokedollars from basically every single battle that doesn't involve a young kid. Rich Boys and Ladys give out over 20k pokedollars)
Will all that money, you'll be able to purchase all the revives, max potions, full restores, and hyper potions you'll need
You can go back to the pokemon center and rest up after every trainer battle and just grind that way.
Each buildiing has a pool of like 30 or 40 trainers that it selects its 6-8 from every day (I think), although about half of these are very rare. I've encountered a few that had audinos.
The other day I was training a newly hatched larvesta in big s tadium. It had a lucky egg on it and was the first pokemon in my party. The first trainer I fought had an audino. I swapped the larvesta out and killed it iwth my second pokemon. The larvesta earned something like 26k EXP, lol.

You're right, it's better
I gotta say that I love what they've done with Black and White. My girlfriend and I each bought a copy so we can chill and play at the same time, and it's been a blast (both have recently completed up to the point when you first see the credits).
But I must say, I'm a bit lost about what to do now and would appreciate some advice!
I used to EV-train in DPPt and SoulSilver but I decided not to worry about it this time around because it took up too much time (plus my g/f doesn't care for ev training so it'd be unfair if I did).
Now that I've finished the first part of the game, I kinda feel like I wouldn't mind raising a more serious ev-trained team (everything except IV breeding, that always seemed like a bit too much time to invest for me) but I don't know if its worth me stopping exploring just to train for ages (and possibly alienate my g/f) or just forget all that stuff until I meet other people who play pokemon competitively (likely this won't happen unless I join an online community who don't mind a player with a very busy schedule).
Any thoughts from those of you who enjoy pokemon for the competitive battling and/or everything else?

If you don't feel you're done explornig then you can just do that until you're satisfied then move on to training a competitive team. Also keep in mind that the overall mechanics are less of a pain this time around, and there's still PokéGAF to help you out if you need Pokérus or anything to speed up the process.

Is it? I caught it on my second try. :shrugMr. Sam said:
If you're trying to EV train in a particular stat, assuming you're fighting a pokemon that gives out 3 EVs in that stat, you can earn 14 EVs in a single battle if the pokemon you're EV training has pokerus and the power item for that stat.
It should take you only 18 battles to fully EV train a single stat for a single pokemon.
36 or 37 battles to fully EV train a pokemon.

Hatched a Jolly Drilbur with 31 IVs in Attack.
Yes. What's more is that the IV guy says that it has "relatively superior" potential.
More yes.
