Pokemon Black Version: Entry 2


Blessed Blade

505 views

This is dedicated to the GTS. Ah, the GTS, and your extremely weird trades. Where seeing a Dialga getting traded for a Bidoof is a normal day. You have fair trades at times; but they get traded so quickly most people don't know about it.

 

Now why couldn't you have fixed it this time, or at least added more options to search? I mean, the Negotiation feature is fine(Even if I haven't tried it just yet); but that doesn't mean you should just ignore the normal part of it. And since Gen 5 is locked off from Gen 4 in terms of trades; there's no excuse for having it be the exact same as before.

 

I must say; however; it is a very good thing they left out the 'trade time lockout' thing from searching this time. Where you had to trade like 100 things in two minutes to access the full listings of trades. Now all 7 or under are available from the start.

 

Also, it's funny... Trades like version exclusive trades are traded with the snap of a finger. But a male Oshawott for a Female Tepig or Snivy(I tried both); stay pending for hours. I don't have time to breed yet, since I haven't got any hatching helpers yet(Waiting on Flame Body Pokemon... Still waiting...), but people assume that others can get Female Starters with the snap of a finger apparently. ... Granted, I'm doing the same, but...

 

Current Party:

Musharna(Musharna) Level 24(Male) Modest

Gonzo(Sawk) Level 25(Male) Careful3

Wottergun(Dewott) Level 25(Female)Naive1

Darumaka(Darumaka) Level 15(Male) Jolly

Blitzle(Blitzle) Level 25(Female) Lax

Lillil(Petitlil) Level 25(Female) Modest2

 

Side Notes:

1: I used your suggestion, Nero. xP

2: Thank you Black, for having this trade built into the game. ^_^ This is the reason I actually went with Black, because the rest of the version exclusives I really wanted were in White. =P

3: ... 0_o Gonzo's in Firefox's dictionary? Wow. =P

In SS/Plat, I was a master at finding a fair trade on the GTS. I'm waiting for my Dex to fill up more with sightings before I go raid the GTS for Black/White, though.

Yeah; I think I need more Pokemon. If I have tons of Pokemon to offer; then it's no problem. But it's when you see these offers that have Snivy for Tepig Any, that you run into problems. =P

 

On a side note, my first GTS Negotiation trade... Didn't exactly go that well. The guy DCed on me while I was hesitating. xP Would've gone great for me if it had gone through, but... Not exactly for him. =P

 

I was looking for a Tepig though... But the Negotiation seeking thing is horrid. ._.;

Seems like you have a pretty good team there, although I somewhat question Petilil and Musharna in there. Petilil has a decent movepool and its evolved form has good stats (especially for a Stone-Evolve Pokemon), but without Chlorophyll its Speed leaves it vulnerable to a number of faster Pokemon, and its Defense aren't that great, especially considering the iffy typing. On the other hand, there aren't a ton of better Grass-types in the game...although Leavanny and Sawsbuck seem superior to me, although their specialties are physical not special.

 

(...whoa I learned a lot about competitive Pokemon in one year O__o)

 

and Musharna...it's just seemed to me the whole time I've known about this thing that it's sole power is to spam Psybeam and Hypnosis, and maybe take a few hits here or there. Not too horrible, but more of a Pokemon to fill a spot and let your team heal a few more times in a battle.

 

Keep in mind I write this without the actual game, so feel free to prove me thoroughly wrong here. =P

1. I like Petitlil's evolution. =P Plus; this is my in-game team, so obviously things will change when I get further in. ;)

 

2. That is the point. =P Plus, it's literally the only Psychic Pokemon available; at least for the first little while. ;)

1. Fair enough. =P And I know that, it just seems like you have better options in the short-term.

 

2. I'm not a huge fan of one-trick ponies. =P

1. Might be better in stats and attacks, but I like Lilligant. =P

 

2. I'll give you that. =P I may replace it, but only after I find out some more stuff about the version exclusives(Reuniclus and Gothitelle). I wanna see their attacks, and decide first. ;)

Protip: Plusle sell like hotcakes on the GTS. I've got pretty much everything I've asked for (Camerupt, Ekans, Hypno, Spoink, Minun, Tepig, etc.) within hours.

 

And I love my Musharna to death. She's sturdy, a bane to anything that wishes to status my team, has obscene attack, can put stuff to sleep with Yawn, recover with Moonlight, and deal damage with Shadow Ball and Psychic. Don't be hatin' on Musharna.

And also Shroomish.

 

Because, not only are they version exclusives, but unlike Rufflet, trainers use them in-game. :P

 

I got lucky and I had Plusle swarming, then Shroomish swarming, now Plusle swarming again. I've filled several boxes with them. Quick Balls. <3

Ah; that's true. xP Still wonder why they went and didn't have the preevolutions of at least Braviary in, and neither of the two black exclusives...

 

And I've heard Quick balls are awesome this gen; haven't had a chance to test them though. =/
