Not surprisingly, going to college helps me fill those out awfully fast.

Tossed it into my backpack and I've got six responses in a couple of hours.

Not too shabby.


No.

Hmm I guess it'll be something Nintendo reveals through their own website when the time comes.

Which city are you near? I don't think I'll get a fraction of that in my small little town. Perhaps I'll get some hits when I go down to Savannah later...

I just caught Victini and beat the third gym. It's almost criminal they put the fire type legendary in the same place as the

North Seattle, which probably explains it.

Personally, I just went to the desert and caught a Darumaka. He's a wrecking ball.

Also, lol @ the obnoxious animated phrases. Pick something with two blanks and blind your enemy!

 

[KJTB]

Ghost trainer of the elite four just fucking mopped the floor with me... shit.

Edit: I had 1 standing after the fight... this is going to be tough :/

I did the same but boxed him because Victini is more useful being dual-type.

It's also using a Legendary in battle, which is against my code.

 

[Emitan]

Does Victini have amazing stats or is it like a normal Pokemon? I want to use it, but not if it's a "real" legendary.

 

[Firestorm]

Yay just started the game.

This is bullshit how is Tepig supposed to beat Snivey Slower but same damage?

Also dammit this building has WPA encryption. I'm screwed.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Same here. It's just overkill really.

I just got my third badge, working on evolving my Tympole before bed, tomorrow or so I'm gonna start transferring my Pokemon over. So the breed extravaganza will begin. So any one who wants old gen starters, dragons, whatever, just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I have actually never used legendaries, as far as I can remember, certainly not with Gen 4. But I guess I don't really count Victini for some reason. Maybe its placement in the Pokedex.

Still it's fun having one on my team, even just this once. It's neat to try new things with new games.

You can't transfer from older games until you beat the game.

Its got a nice ability that ups that boosts the accuracy among other things in your party, and it's a decent fire/psychic.

I want to use my legendaries in battles, but everyone seems to frown upon them in online tournaments Of course any Pokemon is easily beaten when facing the right opponent.

 

[zumphry]

Bloody Munna's and their stupid Moonlight!

e: ok, what fossil is better? Cover Fossil for Tirtouga, or Plume Fossil for Archen? IMO, Archen looks slightly cooler.

Chose the Plume Fossil.

 

[Izayoi]

It's got a total of 600 for base stats, just the same as pseudo/actual Legendaries.

I guess, and the game is little more difficult than previous ones I guess. I dunno, it's just the principal of the thing. Maybe when I get Zekrom.

I know that feel. Fucking Moonlight spamming is so obnoxious.

That's a bummer, but at this rate I'll probably be done tomorrow, lol.

 

[Proven]

Loving the game. Just got to Castelia City and will have the third gym beat in the next 12 hours. Going to be keeping out of this thread as I'm trying to play as blind as possible, but this thing is already up to page 46 so I'm going to forget about keeping up.

 

[Plasmid]

Went to subway tonight, got liberty pass <3.

The legendary music is badass.

 

[Kusagari]

I don't know why anyone would care about using legendaries in the main game. It's not like they really make the game any easier. It's easy as is.

 

[ColtraineGF]

This game supports WPA...on the DSi.

Also, it's both refreshing and annoying just how many rival battles you get in this game.

Personally, I've never used legendaries during the main game, out of principle.

Well at least I have a reason to not cancel my 3DS pre-order?

Because a fourteen-year old kid with two badges shouldn't be carrying around a Legendary Pokemon. Hell, he shouldn't be carrying one around ever.

The battles with them are cool, and I might take them out to look at their backsprites every now and then, but I'll never use one in any kind of actual combat.

 

[survivor]

This 4th gym leader is pissing me off. If I'm not getting critical hit to hell I will be getting paralyzed. And I just wanna know what genius thought it was a good idea to make Emolga part Flying. Now my Drilbur is completely useless.

 

[Anth0ny]

This fucking encounter rate.

I WILL NEVER ESCAPE THIS ELECTRIC CAVE

That's the other thing. If I don't use them during the single-player game when can I use them?

Although Victini will likely be the only one I use.

And an badass looking legendary should probably be stronger than a Pokemon you see all over the place but we still have Articuno!

 

[Spiritreaver]

I have to say I love the variety of Pokemon types found early in the game, I already have a pretty decent type coverage and each Pokemon is rather cool/unique. I almost dismissed Tympole then I noticed it turns into a pretty cool toad. Awesome.

 

[Plasmid]

Victini's catch rate is 3?

Fuck.

I just got through that battle a little while ago. I decided to got he whole rock weakness angle, since I found that against other Pokes, her Emolga tends to spam Double Team *rage*.

My Tirtouga barely one-shotted one of her Emolga after surviving a Volt Switch (<3 Sturdy), and the other was taken out by 2 Rollouts from Pignite (she managed to survive 2 Aerial Aces). Then, it was a matter of mopup with Sandile w/ Dig vs. Zebstrika, and the badge was mine.

Never again...

Also, I just realized just how much the game doesn't want you to grind to victory, through the double-edged sword of experience leveling. This made the battle harder than it would have been on a previous game.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Fuck.

I caught it with my only Premier Ball on like my third try. YMMV.

Well, you know what?

I won't tell if you won't.

 

[KJTB]

Beat the elite 4

Was pretty tough, definitely struggled more this time than I did with the other games but that's probably due to the lack of diversity on my team.

 

[zumphry]

OH MY GOD WHY IS THIS DESERT TAKING SO LONG EERRRGH.

I know I hate deserts! I hated the one in Gen 3, and this one is even worse.

That's where my secret base was in Gen 3. It was in that cave with the long entrance and I put music tiles there to play myself a song as I entered. RESPECT THE DESERT.

 

[Manus]

Does this help?

Nope read that and tried everything it said to do. I have no idea what I have to do. It can find my router, I just can't connect to it. I entered my WEP password and everything.

 

[zumphry]

RESPECT THE DESERT.

NO! There's nothing there but sand, sand, and more flipping sand! I'm glad I'm finally out of the ruins (even though I'm going to have to go back there aren't I? :|)

Ruins and deserts are awesome.

Ahem. I have SAND on my BOOTS!

 

[btkadams]

ok i just clicked extralink out of curiosity and im like stuck in the place where you can go into other people's games. how do i leave??????

edit: nvm lol. too much weird new shit in this game it's scaring my conservative mind

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Ruins and deserts are awesome.

Gerudo Prison was one of the best TP dungeons.

 

[cool_trainer]

Finally got home and Pokemon White was waiting for me at home. :]
I know it's probably been said, but no L=A!? How am I supposed to study with my right hand and play with my left hand anymore. :[ lame. Either way I'm prepared for a long night of playing and neglecting my homework.

As I keep playing the game I can't help but feel like they were forced to rush this game out or something. Seriously, another ice gym leader (who happens to be named Brycen in the English version, similar to Bryce) with a slide puzzle? Swoobat instead of Zubat? Another pigeon Pokemon?

Maybe I'm wrong but this just feels like a mish mash of older games. I mean I'm still enjoying it but still. Doesn't seem very original at all.

You are aware this is a Pokemon game, right?

Does anyone have an extra Oshawott egg they'd be willing to part with? I'm really regretting not choosing at the beginning like I planned to.

Really, that's your evidence it was rushed? Two of those things are English translation related and have nothing to do with the game's development at all.

The ice gym isn't part of localization. The gym leader name, maybe. A lot of the Pokemon are really similar to old ones (such as the ones I mentioned earlier). The names only add to the feeling. I've put in hundreds of hours into each generation of Pokemon games (used to play competitively and I have 490 Pokemon in my Platinum file) so it's not like I'm coming into this uninformed.

 

[Anth0ny]

Gerudo Prison was one of the best TP dungeons.

But Snowpeak was the best. Snow>sand.

Speaking of Zelda, surely I'm not the only person thinking of

every time Team Plasma says "seven sages".

No you're not.

And City in the Sky was the best.
