Pokemon not cool enough to hang out with the dudebros.



I won't be getting back into this game until May due to exams. I stopped somewhere around the 4th badge.

Alright, can someone please explain Black City to me? There's nothing there but a Pokemon Center.

Sorry for reposting. I'm sure no one will mind because this thread is as good as dead after the move. ;)

The number of people there initially depends on how long it took you to get there.
In order to get more people, you have to link up with someone's White Forest and the city will get bigger, with more trainers to battle.

So since I took a while to get there, there is nothing in the city? All I have to do is play Entralink to fill up the city? Once the population is filled up, does it ever go down again?

What's the point of making it like this?

So I just caught a level 65 Metang at the Giant Chasm and good god the thing took around 100 pokeballs. Pretty much used all my special ones. Caught it when my 3rd last ultra ball.

People disappear from the city if you don't visit it for a while. It's bullshit.

Metang has the catch rate of a Legendary.

Each trainer has various points attached to them when they come into the city.
They leave once they run out.

Every day, you can keep getting points by battling those trainers, however, you also lose a certain number of points every day as well.

This really doesn't make any sense. I understand they want people to try out the Entralink, but man.

WHAT?!!! maybe i just never saw one lol.

EDIT: actually im pretty sure it said in the guide that some factor affects how many people will be in it when you first reach it.

What's the site that sends the event pokes to your game via gts? I'm sure it's been asked hundreds of times, but I just was able to get a router hooked up in my dorm, and I'm rather eager to try it out =D

Is there any reason to use a gem over any other boosting item?

So, PokeGaf, what do you think of Sigilyph? He's one of those designs I find quirky in a good way and thus I've decided to EV Train him next.

Spr_5b_561.png


This is the set here...
move 1: Cosmic Power
move 2: Stored Power
move 3: Roost
move 4: Psycho Shift
item: Flame Orb
ability: Magic Guard
nature: Timid
evs: 252 HP / 200 Def/ 56 Spe

I just need to obtain a Male Natu or Xatu with Stored Power and Psycho Shift first. Guess I'll breed my Xatu from Heart Gold and raise a male Natu to 36...shouldn't take too long with the Trade EXP boost.

There are 2 people in my White Forest but I can't battle them. What gives? And there's also no tall grass to catch pokemon.

sigilyph is in my party. it's pretty useful but i find flying pokemon always get owned. i basically chose it so i could have someone that knew fly and had another strong type (psychic) that it could use in battles.

It seems somewhat interesting to me. I mean immunity to sand storm and status is really nice, but there are a ton of counters for it (Dark, rock, ice and electric are everywhere).

Do I think it could be effective.... yeah, but only really for spreading around a burn. I just see it having a hard time bulking up in order for it to actually be able to attack with stored power... and even then, Dark is still immune to it.

I like it. You've opted to do something more unique than a standard sweeper/wall set. I'd even argue it does the Magic Guard-Status Spreader job better than Clefable. I'm curious about the EV spread + Nature. Is there something you're looking to outspeed? Why the big focus on Def?

The negative points I have would be with Cosmic + Stored Power. I've never really seen the point in Defense boosting moves since almost everyone with carry a move like Roar/Whirlwind to get rid of you boosts and Stored Power is really weak unless you make a huge investment. Not to mention it leaves you with no way of touching Dark types. I'd just run Psychic + Air Salsh/filler instead. It's terrible coverage, but you're really only looking to burn any threats and then run away.

I definitely Pair it up with a Fire (Simisear?) or Fighting type, something that can hit the Dark and Steel Types that laugh at this set hard.

Ugh. Really feel bad about not playing for what seems like forever, but I also don't wanna burn though the post game and have nothing to do in Black. :/
