So; day 8. I now have all 8 badges. The Pokemon League is looming ahead. So; while the rest of the Pokemon world is in peril; I'll take a slight rest to blog. =P First off. Dragonspiral Tower. It's amazing. Seriously. I kinda wish it had've been expanded, and had some twists to the puzzles like you'd see in a Zelda game; but Pokemon was never supposed to be Zelda, so I don't care about that. =P But it's a really awesome area. And as you're kicking Plasmaaaaaaaaaaa off the Tower, you think of how it opens up awesome opportunities in that way. =P But what's really amazing are two things. First off... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Did the player character just think something?! That's big, so I'm keeping it spoilered for now. But really; if that happened like I think it did... That's a major step forward, all on it's own. And secondly... That cutscene at the end was amazing. We get to see Red Eyes in all his glory. =P ... Oh? What's that? It was Zekrom? Oh, whoops, wrong series. =P But seriously; that scene was awesome. And that was only a one or two second one. If we actually get RS remakes; I definitely want to see some of the Kyogre/Groudon scenes like that. And if it incorporates some of the Emerald things into it; then the awakening/fleeing scenes could be just like the one from Dragonspiral; and there's no reason it couldn't be. And while I really would like the Player Character to be shown in said scenes as well, it still works, because it could be from the PC's perspective. Second, the story. It's one of the best storylines in the Pokemon series, period. I have to say, it even rivals the first Mystery Dungeon game, though technically that's not all that had to do. =P Third... Opelucid. I like how it looks; and the fact that it's got two separate variants to it. Kinda small though. =/ The Gym's awesome though; they really went all out on it's design. =D Anyway; that's it, for now. But I'm reaching the endgame soon, so we'll see. =D Party Status Update: Gothitelle(Gothitelle) Level 49(Female) Gentle Eelektross(Eelektross) Level 49(Female) Careful Darmanitan(Darmanitan) Level 49(Male) Jolly Lillil(Lilligant) Level 50(Female) Modest Wottergun(Samurott) Level 50(Female) Naive Katie(Zoroark) Level 50(Female) Hasty Badge Status: All 8 Badges obtained.(Trio Badge, Basic Badge, Insect Badge, Bolt Badge, Quake Badge, Jet Badge, Freeze Badge, Legend Badge) Game Status: Right outside of the Badge Check Gates.

Alright, so, time for Day 7's installment. Problem is; I'm not sure of what to write about. >>; SO! I'll just go on some more about Twist Mountain. Great design, Twist Mountain. Really helps show off everything, while also providing a challenge. However; could you have provided that challenge without it being from the really annoying Boldore, with their sturdy preventing one hit kills? There's nothing worse than running into it a hundred times through a trek around Twist Mountain; each requiring two hits compared to the one hit KOs of the rest of the Pokemon. xP On the bright side; I caught a Cryogonal while searching for that missing entry point! 1% chance of running into it; and I definitely didn't pass that up. =P Was hard to catch, however. Ate through my Ultra Balls. Party Status Update: Eelektrik(Eelektrik) Level 42(Female) Careful Darmanitan(Darmanitan) Level 42(Male) Jolly Kate(???) Level 42(Female) Hasty Wottergun(Samurott) Level 42(Female) Naive Gothitelle(Gothitelle) Level 43(Female) Gentle Lillil(Lilligant) Level 44(Female) Modest Badge Status: 6 Badges obtained.(Trio Badge, Basic Badge, Insect Badge, Bolt Badge, Quake Badge, Jet Badge) Game Status: I've reached Icirrus City, but I've only caught the Pokemon there, and headed back to Twist Mountain. I haven't gone to the Gym yet. Time: 58:29 Pokedex: Seen: 96, Obtained: 80

So, after much procrastinating, I may as well get down to the Dowsing Machine's entry. =P Simply put? This variant of the Dowsing Machine/Item Finder, by far, is the best. Gone are the days of having to activate it multiple times! Gone are also the days of having to constantly tap it, or hold the stylus down on the screen while you move around! No; now, all you have to do is activate it, and move around as you find items left, right, up, down, and center. =P Yes, it tracks items automatically. It may take a little getting used to, but it's by far the most convenient version yet. Even better than HGSS's version; and that's saying something. What this version does, is as you walk around, the two item finder 'antenna' things point in the direction of the item. "What's so different about that?" You ask? Well, for one, it updates automatically. No need to tap it, or activate it each time you wish to get an update on the position. Just walk around. As you do so, it'll automatically turn it's position to reflect where you are compared to the item. Like, say you're south east, in comparison with the item. If you walk up, then it'll slowly turn from facing Northeast, then the the east, and then southeast. If you, however, walk over to that spot, and move on top of it, it will also let you know about that, by having both antennae facing each other, and displaying a symbol in the middle. Then, you simply have to walk one square off as usual, and then pick it up. Simply put; this Dowsing Machine is extremely useful. Plus; it doesn't even get turned off automatically. The only things that do that is, say, when you go on Wi-Fi. You also have to disable it manually when you go to switch Pokemon, or save, but as I mentioned the other day, the rest can be handled by the Registration Menu. =) Party Status update: Tynamo(Tynamo) Level 27(Female) Careful Lillil(Lilligant) Level 39(Female) Modest Gothorita(Gothorita) Level 39(Female) Gentle Darmanitan(Darmanitan) Level 39(Male) Jolly Gonzo(Sawk) Level 39(Male) Careful Wottergun(Samurott) Level 40(Female) Naive Badge Status: 6 Badges obtained.(Trio Badge, Basic Badge, Insect Badge, Bolt Badge, Quake Badge, Jet Badge) Game Status: Just reaching Twist Mountain. Time: 48:15 Pokedex: Seen 88, Obtained 67.

So; day 5 of playing Pokemon Black. May have to step up my pace to have another entree today. =P Now then; I said I'd do the Dowsing Machine today; but I wanna talk about Critical Captures right now. So, if you've heard anything about it, it's a new feature in Pokemon Black and White. It's a difference to normal captures, but is random, and fairly rare; I've only encountered it maybe three times?(... Including last night. When the Lillipup broke out of it. With an Ultra Ball as the usage. ; ) But let me tell you what it is: Critical Capturing is like Critical Hits. Extremely rare; but extremely powerful. With a critical Capture, you can(Normally) capture a Pokemon with only one twitch, instead of three. And normally, it captures it, period. No Breakings(again, normally.); simply, it's caught. You can tell if your capture is a Critical Capture, because it sounds like the Pokeball was thrown at a very high velocity; it hits the Pokemon in midair, and then 'locks' the Pokemon in with a click, and then falls to the ground, shakes once, and clicks to signify it's been caught. However... Has anyone wondered how it all works? I think I've found it. Let's use Red as an example. [Route 16] Red: *Walks along silently* *A wild Emolga pops out* [A wild Emolga appears!] Red: ... *Sends out Pikachu* ...! (Go, Pikachu!) Pikachu: *Uses Thunderbolt on Emolga* *Emolga's sent to 1 HP because Red's just that good.* Emolga: *Valiantly uses Volt Change to attack, but does a total of one HP damage, and doesn't switch* Red: ... (Ah; it's ready for capture.) Red: ...? (What should I use?) Red: ... (Obviously a Pokeball, but...) *Looks around* *Spots a Wonder launcher* Red: ...! (Aha!) Red: ... (I'll use that to shoot the Pokeball out at the Emolga.) *Attaches Pokeball to Wonder Launcher* *Shoots it out at the Emolga, which sends it flying at a very high speed* Emolga: Emolga? Emolga mo? Emolga mo Emolga ga... (What? What's that? It's coming toward me at an unusual speed...) *The Pokeball hits Emolga hard on the head, and then transfers the now-unconscious Emolga into the Pokeball* *Since there's no resistance, the Pokeball only rocks once, to settle into a small hold in the ground* Red: ...! (Yes!) Red: ...! (Emolga was caught!) Red: ... (That Critical Capture worked perfectly.) =P Thank you, Red, for being our very nice example. Even if you don't say much. Say; have you ever met Kopaka? I think you two would be very good friends. =P

So, today, I'll focus on the menu systems in this. First of all, the main in-game menu. It's pretty much a revision of HGSS's touch screen menu; except, due to the C-Gear being on the screen at all times when on the normal overfield screens(Aka, not in a menu, battle, Musical thing, dressing up, or the GTS), it's been reassigned to popping up with X, like in D/P/Pt. However; this somehow works perfectly. I'm not sure if it's because the Running Shoes doesn't have an auto-on feature, or what; but it works very nicely. However, the main thing is the new global option for the menus... You can now exit the entire menu, from nearly any screen, by either hitting the button X, or tapping the red X on the touch screen. I cannot express how awesome this feature is to use; as it cuts down on a lot of unnecessary time wasted by having to B out of every single menu. Now, if you're done something, or just want to cut down on a couple steps, and you're not at the couple exceptions, you can hit X, and return to the overfield. This even works on the PC! That's a very nice touch they add; and they better keep it in in future installments. Also; since there's no space on the touch screen, either on the C-Gear screen or the Touch Menu, for the registered item spaces from HGSS... What did they do? Return it to only having 1 registered item? No; they instead give you 23 more spots that you can register stuff with, accessible through Y! And the best thing? That's not even limited to items anymore. If you've seen pictures of Black and White; even the Japanese pictures; you may have wondered about those icons at the bottom. Well, one's obviously return, and I've mentioned that another is the awesome new exit button... But what's that checkbox? Well, that's the new select/register option. If you hit that; you can instantly register an item to the Y menu... or; if you hit the check box on the menus, you can instantly return to that menu! Doesn't work on the PC for obvious reasons, but even still, that helps very much with things. So, now, you can have the Dowsing Machine up(I'll go over that tomorrow; it deserves it's own entree. xP), flip between the bike quickly, check the status of your Pokemon, use an item(Your bag's pockets can be registered, and as you can flip between them easily, you pretty much can register your whole back with one spot, though multiple spots allow ease of use), change settings in the options menu, and check your Pokedex, without even closing the Dowsing Machine, since you need to do that to normally access the menu, like in HGSS. However, you have to close the Dowsing Machine to save or switch Pokemon, since they didn't include registration options for either of them, even though registering the Pokemon menu makes infinite sense. =/ Do you see how that opens up a lot of possibilities? This new registration system is extremely handy, and I hope it stays in the next Generation and onward, and even any remakes they make in the future. Not gonna talk 'bout the C-gear or PC here; I'll leave that for future entries; as it's got massive amounts of information. And when Global Link and the Dream World open, I'll go over those as well, since I'll actually have access to info. That'll only be from 22 days and onward though, since it's not open yet. =P Party Status: Gothita(Gothita) Level 24(Female) Gentle Gonzo(Sawk) Level 28(Male) Careful Zebstrika(Zebstrika) Level 28(Female) Lax Lillil(Lilligant) Level 28(Female) Modest Darumaka(Darumaka) Level 28(Male) Jolly Wottergun(Dewott) Level 29(Female) Naive Badge Status: 4 Badges obtained.(Trio Badge, Basic Badge, Insect Badge, Bolt Badge) Game Status: Up to Nimbasa City, need to move on in near future. Time: 29:41 Pokedex: 55 Seen, 43 Obtained.

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

So; yesterday; March 6th... The release date of Black and White. And I got it yesterday; around noon. The game. Is. Awesome. It's long, very long. If you play it, you'll see what I mean. I like the fact that the story has been very much expanded. For now; that's all I'll say, as I'm only up to Castelia City so far. xP Oh... And the GTS is standard fare. =P Ridiculous trades like usual.
-
First of all, let me say that it's awesome that BZP's back, even if I didn't get to blog while I still had Tri that second week. =P So; we're nearly there. Black's only two days away from releasing; and it's the one I'll be getting. It sounds awesome, even though I just found out they removed a very useful training tool; the Vs. Seeker. Why they did that, I have no clue, but it doesn't sound like it's entirely needed for this game at least. Also, the Global Link site sounds sweet. Too bad it's not gonna be released 'til the end of the month... =/ The new layout it'll be getting looks great, though. =)

So; Celebi event this week and next, as most people know. I went to get Celebi today, and got it. So, that means... I've fully completed my Pokedex on Pokemon Soulsilver. And it means that my Living Dex is 100% complete as well.
-
The entry below needs attention!
-
Does anyone know how I can quickly and cheaply level up my Pokemon? I would use my strongest, but then I'll need to do loads more things, such aas walkng and walking and wishing I had my Togetic.
-
It works! 8DDDDD I will maybe accept battles soon, because my Pokemon aren't fully evolved and EV-Trained. But trading is okay. My Friend code is: 1119-1284-1986 -Charlie

The first of my Pokémon to get to Lv.100 is none other thaaaaaaaaaaaan: My little Electivire, Thor! B) -Charlie

I finally caught a Beldum. =DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD -Charlie

I HATE BELDUM!!! WHY THE HECK DOES IT ONLY HAVE CATCH RATE 3?!?!?!?!!?! >.< *is angry and annoyed* :angry: -Charlie

I'm currently breeding for a shiny Magikarp and all that yaddayadda. So, my question today is.. Do YOU have a shiny Magikarp/Gyarados? (The Johto event RG does not count.) -Charlie
-
What's the most common item you've dug up in the Sinnoh Underground? For me, it's Water and Leaf stones. -Charlie
-
I'm thinking of getting a Nintendo Wi-fi connectormajigy, so I can battle and stuff with you here at BZP. : > And I forgot to mention, I'm a Pokémon nerd now. ): -Charlie
-
Ahaha oh wow. Arceus has the worst voice I have EVER heard for a Pokemon. Srsly, Nintendo, what were you thinking? RAWR JUSTICE RAWR I ONLY KNOW EIGHT WORDS IN ENGLISH WHAT YOU ALL WILL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE -Laka
-
Is awesoooooome. I've played 5.5 hours so far. I'd be playing now, but my eyes are killing me. -Laka
-
But I forgot to. I pre-ordered Pokemon Platinum! From what I know, it's awsome. Giratina's new Origin Forme looks just plain epic. Hopefully he'll be as easy to catch as Dialga and Palkia.
-
I just evolved one of my twelve Eevees into Umbreon. Now I'm trying to come up with a good competitive use for it, since I already make heavy battle use of an Espeon. also school in an hour D=
-
I just bred about twelve Eevees in Emerald, and I have no idea why.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time my Togepi used Judgment?
