Question, what's the point of playing while my DS says it's conneted via WiFi?

Can I change the C-gear so the bottom screen shows the menu instead of the connecitvity stuff? It really annoys me that they seem to have left there showing all the time something that 99% of the time I won't use.

I really don't know. I usually have the dousing machine down there, though. I assume there's a few other items that go down there, too.

Audinos are all almost every route I've been to so far. I'm just a little sick of them. But 500-1k EXP per? I'll take it.

Audinos give loads of experience? (I haven't played much yet so this is all news to me).

Tons and tons of exp. You'll be fighting them a lot because of that.

Castelia City, first pier.

Nobody for the Shelmet and/or Karrablast? All 493 pre Gen V etc etc. Wiseblade seems to have left, and now I'm just sitting in the Pokemon Center. :(

As soon as I have access to the Carracosta line I'm dropping it anyway.

Yup, you're correct. Don't evolve until you know you have the moves you want, or all the rest are available via TM.

Okay, thanks.

Will be playing tonight and probably through the week. Will probably have stuff to trade with people at the weekend.

So... How exactly does Small Court and Big Stadium work? Someone earlier told me you could continue battling the people in BS, but is that like once a day or something?

o_O OH! Luckily I've not evolved any yet, but thank you.

So, I found Thundurus, but running around the place I've not been able to find it again. Presumably the
weather will go all mess up
when we're in the same area? I know it's in certain places at certain times, but I've not yet found an accurate schedule for it.

He's in the southern routes in the morning and in the northern routes in the evening. You could for example wait until evening, go to Route 10 (the one leading up to Victory Road) and keep entering and exiting through the gate until it's all stormy.

Shell Bell and vitamin spam.

Going to bed for real now, just checked the thread one last time after I beat the fourth gym.

Just got White and played it for an hour and a half, amazing stuff. I've played Pokemon games a lot when I was younger but skipped all the DS games so this feels fresh and a lot better then the GBA games.

For those interested in Larvesta/Volcorona, it can be gotten surprisingly early: You just need Surf. It's an excellent Fire/Bug that can even learn Fly (and I assume certain other Flying TMs).

Doesn't Larvesta evolve ridiculously late though? Level 59 IIRC.

Right after
the battle with Cheren after beating the sixth gym.
You can then go pick up a Larvesta egg at
Route 18, which is accessed by surfing west from Route 1. There's a house on the island and one of the NPCs inside will give you the egg, so make sure you have an open spot in your team.

Yes. But hey, the earlier you get it, the earlier it reaches that level! Besides, even its unevolved form is pretty decent.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Weird question...

In Castelia City near the exit, there's this one building with a man with a Pikachu you can talk to...the Pikachu is nicknamed (the trainer complains about this) but, I'm wondering, what is its nickname in your game?

The Pikachu in my game is named Gesundheit, which freaks me out because that's my Cubchoo...but I'm wondering if the game simply names it after one of your nicknamed Pokemon in your party, or if it's the same in every game. It kind of bothered me lol.

There's no way Grey will be for the DS. The 3DS will have been out for around a year, if not longer, by then and DS will be long dead.

Could be enough to convince to buy the third edition. Haven't done so since Yellow.

I really wish I could tranfser my Pokedex over from HeartGold/Platinum. The games fit together to make it feel like one giant world in a way, but I still have to start my Pokedex over every time I get a new game.

The DS won't be dead. It'll still have tons of shovelware coming out for it!

It'd be an excellent way to convert people to 3DS though. Pokemon Grey 3DS, and it would allow for a Pokemon game to hit 3DS much earlier than a true Gen VI Pokemon.

welcome to EVERY generation change. I had almost a complete pokedex in R/B/Y and started over from scratch in G/S.

At least here though you have a way of catching em all right from the beginning (with trading). In Gen3 IIRC it took three additional cycle releases to finally get a completed pokedex of all then-existing pokemon.

Aren't there tons of event unique Pokemon that once missed, you have no way of getting? Unless there are kind people out there breeding extras.

Made it to Castelia, got Victini, and lemme say...daaaaaang, this game has fixed so many of the problems I'd had with previous games. It's fast, it's fun to look at, and the Pokemon themselves are superfun. A+ GameFreak, I hope it keeps up at this pace and I don't burn myself out.

(P.S.: Do traded Pokemon stop learning moves like stone-evolved Pokemon? If not, would any interested parties PM me about doing a quick back-and forth trades of Boldore/Gurdurr?)
