-zee- Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 The only highlight for me for hg/ss is the pokethlon near goldenrod city. There wasn't much obvious changes in the gym leaders pokemon that they are using. =.=Oh yeah the pokethlon was fun. I rmb spendibg hours and hours away trying to get those achievements! Very addictive and painful for the fingers after tapping on the screen multiple times lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlinkun Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 The Pokethlon is only useful if you have lots of different pokemon! I guess that is one of the reasons for adding Safari in it! Frankly, from a design perspective, one of the goals or ways to entice players to buy HG/SS was that it has a lot of different Pokemon to catch. The Safari made is MUCH MUCH easier to get many different Pokemon early in the game and even more in the Kanto saga!Too bad you can't transfer item to Black/White cuz Pokethlon made it easy to obtain evolution stones. lol Quote https://merlinsfolio.wordpress.com/ https://medium.com/@merlincheng "On the Internet, no one knows you are a cat."

Lol how to perfect the game when the mechanics itself isn't. Anyway, I finally completed 50 straight win for double battle in the subway challenge for Pokemon White! Yayness!

I have a male ferrothorn with spikes. If you want i can trade with you. PM me. My fav lead is Togekiss. Paralyse anything faster and air slash it to death. Whatever it can't KO, I'd make sure i weaken with thunder wave or charm so that i can finish off with my sweepers. Togekiss has great defensive stats, but still faster than other pokemon without any speed ev investment. Let me know on the ferrothorn.

fizzy Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 black and white is not bad. pretty much love the 3d graphics. and of course, the amazing pokemon i used to have a friend who talks about pokemon and calculates their stats etc (well, he ALWAYS win in a pokemon battle using DS) cos he has somewhat memorises the stats and knows whats good and bad against the particular pokemon. so, despite my advantage of weakness, i still lose i find that this gen of pokemon is really erm.. useless with the mix types. why mix the types and create more weaknesses? except for sableye (dark and ghost, therefore no weakness), the rest are just too weak.dunno what u guys think.

It makes it more troublesome since I have to visit my aunt's house to use her wifi if I want to use the online feature. Thus I am stuck with offline and local play. :\I am thinking of Forretress instead since it is easy to get in SoulSilver and it knows Spike, Poison Spike and Rapid Spin without the need of breeding. But same as Ferrothorn, it has 4x weakness to Fire.dunno what u guys think. My problem with Gen V is that most of the fully evolved Pokemon has REALLY lousy speed stats. The design of the Pokemon kinda a mixed bag (some are outright ugly since some are designed by an American instead of the GameFreak Japan team), but at least we have over 150 new beast to tame. Not enough space in the PC box to store them all. lol Quote https://merlinsfolio.wordpress.com/ https://medium.com/@merlincheng "On the Internet, no one knows you are a cat."

The dsxl that i have now has better security settings which would eliminate all those problems with ds lite. The great thing is that my phone has internet sharing so i tap from it. Now i can battle and trade online anytimw! Why don't you upgrade to a dsxl or 3ds? Regarding the speed stats, i have always thought that their other stats would compensate for that lack of speed. Therefore, i will build them up defensively, say with 252 hp with a nature boosting their better defence stat. I realize that investing all in atk/satk and speed always results in a OHKO pokemon. I prefer defensive pokemons now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlinkun Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) My iPhone internet doesn't work on my DS Lite -.-''. I have a 3DS, it can connect just fine for 3DS games, but when connecting for DS games, it emulate the DS connection, thus it doesn't work (it shows the DS internet connection screen instead of the 3DS connection screen).lol it sounds confusing, but the bottom line is my 3DS can't connect to the internet for DS games. No Pokemon Dream World for moi. *sob*Edit: Ok nevermind I just realise Pokemon B/W is compatibility with 3DS's WPA internet setting! (as DS games is only compatible with WEP, which my home internet is)I CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET, YAY.

fizzy Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Erm burning question.If I play my Pokemon B/W in my computer, am I able to battle with people wirelessly?I tried once in the older versions using the GBA emulator but it lags terribly. So im not sure whether the current NDS emulator will support such things :xWould love to battle with random people online hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlinkun Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 B/W have a lot of different connectivity functions, such as Infra-Red, wireless, etc. It is dependent on the hardware of your comp and the capability of the emulator. I don't use emulator so I won't know, although it might be possible, perhaps a quick Google search might help?

Guest Kibs Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 That would be interesting to know. I wonder if pirated versions of BW can connect with Nintendo's official servers for GTS etc... I'm using an original copy of Black.Can't wait for BW2. Good thing I haven't transferred all my Pokemon from HG to B yet. LOVE the Poke-Transfer feature. I don't have to catch random shit as trade fodder. I'm a Pokedex completionist so I have a lot of Pokemon to carry around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy.99 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 The legendary weather Pokemon - Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus - will receive new forms in Pokemon Black 2 & Pokemon White 2. It has been revealed that their original forms from Black & White 1 are called Keshin Formes, while the new forms are known as Reijuu Formes. These translate as Sacred Forme and Incarnate Formes respectivelyTornadus' new form focuses on Defense, Special Defense and Speed. Thundurus' new form focuses on Special Attack. Landorus' new form focuses on Attack.The forms are not obtainable in-game but rather through a new application to be released on the 3DS, called AR SearcherAll quoted from the pokemon database website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kibs Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hehe, I would rather play short mini-games then have to catch wild random Pkmn and trade one by one.

How different is bw2 from bw1?Games don't sell over $60, anything beyond that is either imported directly from Japan or very overprice. Second, Black/White 1 and 2 are DS games, hence their license fee is cheaper and hence the final price is lower than 3DS games.Black/White 2 is the direct sequel, you get new areas, Unova dex contains more than just Unova Pokemon, trainer sprite will animate, and the Pokemon Tournament, where you can fight ALL gym leaders and champions from previous games.

merlinkun Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 By the way, those with the original copy of the game, there is a Genesect WiFi event until 12 November similar to the Victini in B/W.Also note that if you got Black, it is advisable to get Black 2, cuz in Black you get Reshiram, while in Black 2 you get Zekrom (which belongs to *spoiler*N*spoiler*).So if you have Black and you get White 2, you will end up with 2 Reshiram lolB/W2 have a lot more legendary too - Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Reshiram/Zekrom, Kyurem, Latios (B2), Latias (W2), Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, Regirock, Registeel (requires Unova Link feature from B2), Regice (requires Unova Link feature from W2), Regigigas (requires all 3 Regi, thus need help from the opposite version), Cresselia, Heatran.Registeel is sorta like a semi-exclusive to B2, but you can trade a special key to unlock it in W2, same for Regice.B/W2 also have a bunch of gift Pokemon like N's Zorua, SHINY Gible or Dratini. Also if you have the original B/W, you can link them with B/W2 to unlock extra battles and content such as being able to catch the rest of N's Pokemon.

Guest Kibs Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 BW2 is mediocre. I like the storyline in BW1, which I consider one of my personal best alongside the original Kanto and Hoenn games. BW2 is only worth the buy if you're interested in playing through what happened to Unova after the events of the first game.BW2 reverted back to the 4th gen era games. Extremely boring and forgettable. Your character in BW1 had a bigger impact on Unova and the world feels so much more involved and alive with all the gym leaders teaming up with you at N's castle. In this new game, nothing really happens until you get all 8 badges and then it's like some rushed job to wrap up the Team Plasma storyline. Gym leaders barely get involved and you're stuck with some lame rival who's runnin around looking for his dead grandpa's stolen cat.It's like your character in BW2 is just doing some clean-up work around Unova, cleanig up the mess made by the epicness of your first game character's adventure. It's kinda like the Johto games where you're just cleanig up remnants of Team Rocket.I had expected a lot more. Good thing is you can trade with your old BW1 right after getting the first badge, so old vets like many of us who have games from Ruby/Sapphire from literally 10 years ago already have a large army of Pokemon on our hands and we can just trade them over (via BW1) to BW2.

circleflow Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 True, but so far it's been engaging for me to play Black 2. I came back from Tekong to see my brother having completed the main storyline already, so all I got to play was the metagame and the post game easter eggs, so I can't really say which one has the better story. I'm currently at the haunted mansion though, it's pretty interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
