Hey, sometimes you just get lucky. I used to have a shiny Totodile in my silver game...if only it wasn't lost to the sands of time.

Umm I guess I may ask at this point but what is this RNG (Random Number Generator?) method everybody speaks of? 
And having just started with White 2 what is this, the player-character doesn't have their own room in the second floor?! That's madness! D:

That method is too complicated for me to touch with a ten foot poll
Ok I understand kinda of what this is, but what are the controlling factors. Or how do I learn this?
You could end up spending hundreds of hours doing that.
Yea, but shiny Charizard!
Yeah, but hundreds of hours.
Gonna ask here since B2W2 thread is kinda dead:
Are you able to trade Unova Link keys online or does it have to be via WiFi like with someone right next to you? I have the Regice and White Forest Keys, anyone with Black want to trade their keys if so? I don't know how any of this works and can't find any good Unova Link explanations online

It can be done only via wireless i.e with someone next to you
I reccomend starting to do it in BW1 using this guide: http://blazingblyde.tumblr.com/post/4545145693/blyde-rng-guide
Aw that sucks. My friends have all been slacking playing the game and haven't even beaten the Elite 4 yet.It can be done only via wireless i.e with someone next to you
Thanks a lot though!

With the Pokemon X and Y announcement, I got some Pokemon cravings so I finally decided to get Pokemon Black 2.
I heard people play in weird ways to add challenge to the game, what are some of these? I am thinking about making the game more challenging.

Then spend a day or two learning how to RNG, rather than spend a month soft-resetting.

Getting it legitimately after a month would feel oh-so-much-sweeter than cheating and getting it in a day or two.

Catching first pokemon in an area sounds annoying, but maybe I will take the challenge, maybe.

Whoa okay... I think I personally would rather keep on soft-resetting instead of doing this :/ I mean I understand how it works and it doesn't even seem to be hard to pull off just incredibly tedious
I'm in awe though that some people even analyzed and mastered that RNG algorithm, that's really a fantastic and interesting achievement

Guys, does anyone have a spare Tepig they can give me so I can "see" every Unova Pokémon in White 2? That's the only one I'm missing
I don't really have anything significant to give in return, I can breed almost anything in the new Unova Pokédex though.
Please let me know if anyone is available for trading -- thanks!

Thanks for taking your time with me, Ike! That was quick and easy
PS: I wrote you mail
You're very welcome!
I read it! I really appreciated it. No one has ever taken the time to write me a note before!

Great, glad you liked it, it was the least I could do!
Off to show my Pokédex to Aurea Juniper now ^^

After about 17 years of playing these games, I have never encountered a shiny pokemon once.

Are you from the future and/or Japan?
Grats, did you catch most of them yourself or did you trade for a lot? I think I'm going to have to invest in some of the older games or something... I'm not ready at all...

I'm not sure what you mean by that, so I'm going to say no to both.
Red and Blue came out in Japan in '96. It didn't hit the west until two years later. To have played it 17 years ago you had to get it on the original Japanese launch.

My bad, pretty sick at the moment so I looked it up quick without thinking. Pretty bad for a first post.

Most of them were caught on my own (Hidden Hollows can bite my shiny metal ass, for the record). There was about 100 I had to bring him from various other games, though.
I love these games but I have a lot of work ahead of me. I don't think I've completed a pokedex since Gen1. Came close in Ruby though.
Respect.
I want to do this, but I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into. I have Pearl and White 1, if I get HG/SS, will I be able to pretty much get everything (other than event pokes) with minor trading for version exclusives and evolutions? How would everyone go about catching em all?
I did catch em all once. The thing is there were only 151 back then...shit just seems crazy now.
hey guys, i'm on my neverending quest to complete my pokedex. does anybody have an extra keldeo that they would be willing to part with? i have some extra legendaries as well and i would be willing to trade them (i figure 1 to 1 or 2).
these are what i have to trade:
Zekrom
Mewtwo x2
Raikou
Entei x2
Genesect
anyone want to help? thanks in advance!

Alternatively he can prevent everyone from eating.
I guess it's its smell.

I'd say Ice Punch just for dragons. You can never have too many ice moves.

But hundreds of hours!
I bought this game eight years ago for 20 dollars and I'm still enjoying it!

I just had my first experience with Pokémon Global Link and the Dream World and frankly I have to say I'm a bit blown away o.o Sure global stats-tracking and flash-minigames aren't anything new but the presentation is very well done and all the data you can access is really impressive! I have no idea why I never bothered with it when I played Pokémon White 1 but I can definitely see me using that alot with the second game. And have I understood that right that I might be able to encounter Pokémon I normally can't catch in the Dream World and then can send them to my actual game?

Yeah - Each Pokemon has an ability that they can only get from the Dream World, and if you catch them there, you can send 'em over - there are quite a few out now, and the abilities are breedable (if you get a female with the ability). They vary in usefulness, and certain combos are more desired than others (like Multiscale Dragonite, for example).I just had my first experience with Pokémon Global Link and the Dream World and frankly I have to say I'm a bit blown away o.o Sure global stats-tracking and flash-minigames aren't anything new but the presentation is very well done and all the data you can access is really impressive!
