Can someone explain to me how/when you would use the "Ring Target" item?
The use I can think of for it is to use trick to give it to the opponent so they no longer have any immunities.
Seems like a round about way to hit them though.

Mainly for gimmicky Trick 'mons. Trick it onto a Garchomp and proceed to Thunder Wave or something. Might be a couple of interesting abilities to use it with as well.
 
I do like some of the Gen 5 changes (infinite TM's, more streamlined battles) but at the same time some of the other changes aren't that good (the box interface in HG/SS were much better, no 6v6 level 100 battles over Wi-fi). Plus I always feel like every generation wants to handicap competitive players in some way. For example, no way to hoard EV-reducing berries.

We europeans got the deerling c-gear skin, it is the best released so far IMHO.
Do they have exclusive stuff for Americans?

Also I thought that for regional purposes I was american, lol. But I didn't get the Audino skin and I got the Deerling one, didn't got the Croagunk one :/ I'm south american.

Ah well, Minccino skin is still boss for me :D

Now I want R/S Pokémon plushes in that style to go with my
deformed reject
Turtwig and Chimchar.

Also, I called R/S getting remakes before B/W's third game :)

Been playing some Pokemon Online since I missed 6v6 and gotta say: Fuck Excadrill at least I don't see him much in random wifi... But with 6 mons almost everyone has his own Tar + Drill on party. -_-

I don't want to freak anyone out..

but I think we may have some *evidence* of a Ruby/Sapphire remake!

One of the commenters pointed out that the company that makes the toys has not yet made any toys outside of Gens I and II, so it could just be that they're finally expanding their lineup. I'd be surprised if we got another remake this soon after HG/SS. Would be nice, though.

That must mean Conkeldurr is not far behind.

Finally got the game from my backlog and keep playing to finish the story now. So LTTP lol.
I was a fan of the original games and Black&White are on par, even better. Bought my DSi like a year ago and i already got SoulSilver, Platinum and White in my tiny 8 game library. I don't know if it is from playing them back to back but i am getting burnt out. They really need to change some things in the 3DS games. More user friendly menus to begin with. What would you guys change in the series if you had the chance?

I would destroy it all. I want real time Pokemon battles as the default, or at least something similar to a tactics square based battles. This is what I want, and it is what I will never receive. ;_;

Hah, a FF7 alike ATB system would be good where the pokémon bars would fill according to their speed. This would stress the player about what move to chose like in anime :D

I would screw the tile based overworld i guess. NPC blocking the way is so 1998 :c

Just as a note to those interested: Toys R' Us will be distributing Snarl Zoroark from Sept. 18 - 25.

Snarl can't be gotten any other way (no TM 95 distribution), so keep that in mind.

It's such bullshit that it isn't a wifi event and further bullshit you still can't get the TM legally. Even further bullshit I can't get the liberty ticket to get my Victini legitly. >:|

I already got a Zoroark since I cloned my Reshiram with Make a Wish GTS. So it isn't as hugely important to me now in the Pokedex sense. :/

Welcome to Pokemon!

You're not missing much with Snarl anyways, aside from not being able to complete your TM list.

More like Welcome to Nintendo of America. At least in Japan they do wifi events for nearly everything. Which is what should've been done since Gen 4. >:|

Plenty of movie events in Japan that you'll have to shell out for. And then there's the shame of going to a movie theatre to watch a Pokemon movie.

I'm done with this fucking game for a while ;_;

Finally get a good streak going. Choice Scarf Pinsir appears and connects 3 guillotines in a row. Fucking hell. I don't know why I find battle subway so addicting, so I'll be back.

Battle Tow--er--"Subway" is fucking cheating. They have some builds in there that you CAN NOT get legitly. Don't take it so seriously.

Can anyone trade me a Snorunt? Don't care if it's male or female, but preferably below level 10. I've got a billion Eevees, can also breed some of the starts (like Chimchar or Turtwig) and most of the fossil Pokemon, or maybe something else.
 
Berksy said:

A change to the format of the campaign so that it's not just the usual Gyms quest would be enough to keep me interested. Other than that, they can do their usual gentle refinement and evolution and I'd be happy.

Maybe scale IVs back from the 32-point scale they are now to the 16-point one they used to be pre-Gen 3.
 
Europe just got the venusaur C-gear added, blastoise C-gear comes in october and Charizard in November.

Still not quite sure why they are doing these exclusive C-gears tho...

So do we think this is all the event stuff will be for Europe from now on? I've been waiting for a reason to go back to the game, and unfortunately, I don't think C-Gear skins will cut it...

There are still three event exclusive Pokemon and the Snarl TM and they haven't been released anywhere yet.
Given the awkward way the Snarl TM is distributed (You have to collect the event item in HG/SS then transfer it to B/W with two DS's) I doubt we are ever going to get that but the legendary Pokemon are up in the air right now.
Last gen NOE was pretty good about doing events (I think they did all of the Platinum and HG/SS ones barring Arceus, but they flat out gave that away instead of doing the Hall of Origin event) so I think we will we get them at some point, but probably not until they are in movies or they might hold them back for Grey like they did with some of the Diamond and Pearl events and Platinum.

Return from Dream World

TAH-DAH.
 
Dumb question I know but I just got back into playing Pokemon White, I am wondering if anyone happens to have an extra Tornadus they might be willing to part with? If not I understand, just thought I'd put it out there though.

Do you have an extra of the white version of him? I can make one this week and get it to you.

I only have the one and I am un aware of any way to make a copy of them with just 1 ds and 1 cart. Sorry TheSeks.

If there is a way then let me know and I will try to get you a Thundurus.

Google MakeaWish GTS and make an account there, send your White Exclusive to the GTS storage and then reconnect after putting it in the Queue. It'll clone your storage copy. Need more help, check the website.

After ages of playing solely on NetBattle I've decided to give cartridge battling a shot.

Though most of my potential opposition is... less than competitive, I'd still rather have a decent team at my disposal. That being said, many of the poke's I'd prefer to use are very difficult to obtain, specifically dream world builds.

Is there any good resources on how to acquire many of these pokemon? I'd love to get ahold of poison point gliscor and a few others, but I don't know the first place to search, and seeing as how BW is the first pokemon game I've finished in ages, my trading stock is rather meager, my army of Victinis acquired when the game was new and people were giving them up for practically nothing is my only real trade bait.

I do have access to AR and will use it if there is no other options (AR being fairly common in the community in which I'm participating in) but would prefer to go the legitimate route if it isn't excessively difficult.

ok I Really really wanna play pokemon but I don't want to get pokemon fatigue before the 3ds version comes out. How good is black/white? The last pokemon game I play was Diamond and yellow before that.

Well if you're using the Make a Wish GTS, you can stick Snarl on a Zoroark anyway.

I think I've ruined Pokemon for everyone. :p

I have almost any strong female dw pokemon (missing carvanha, gyarados and a few others...), I can breed them if you want ;)

I can breed you a Dream World Gligar if you want.

Holy crap that would be AMAZING. If I could have a Gligar, Poliwag, Torchic, Litwick, and Shroomish that would be absurdly helpful.

Looking at the list it seems like a lot... I'm trying to think if there is any way I can compensate you for your time. My trades in this game are rather crap, and considering how much you have I doubt anything I have would be of value...

*Laughs*

I don't suppose you play Team Fortress? I have decent trades in that game I could give.

How does one acquire DW pokes anyways? If it is something I could do single player perhaps I could acquire some of the ones you're missing?

awww don't worry I don't need anything in exchange. Anyway from your list only poliwag and gligar are legally released in the west D:

are you sure you only want those two? I have a spare female drought vulpix.
