Blessed Blade Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hmm... It's odd; I've been getting errors with communicating recently myself. One fixed itself, but the other had been tried for a while, until it was just given up on for the moment. =/ I personally think Nintendo's servers are being overloaded. =P Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Vonn Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Would make sense, B/W2 are attracting a large number of older fans.

Blessed Blade Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 And, well, even the fans that got Black as well have B/W2 now, and that, combined with the fact that likely Black/White's infrastructure is on some similar servers(to have compatibility), it'd be no wonder they'd be swamped. =P Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorek Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Whelp, since my power was out for the last 8 hours, I've been playing lots of white 2 =P.

Flipz Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Well, with everyone talking about B2/W2, I've been enticed into playing Emerald again. At the moment, I've got a Quiet Cacnea (which, naturally, I'll evolve into Cacturne), which I plan to max HP and Special Attack EVs and add the last EVs to Attack (I'm running Pin Missile/Needle Arm/Faint Attack/Spikes, remember since this is Gen III, Special Attack is more important, whereas if I were doing this with a more modern game I'd be maxing Attack). Slowly but surely I'm building up those Sp. Attack EVs on Route 113, and once I'm done there I'll start slaughtering Whismur in the cave on Route 106.This Cacturne will stay with me through to the Final Four and the Frontier; here's my planned team (forgive any level-related inaccuracies, I'm too lazy to look it up right now):Blaziken Lvl. ~60 @ (Can't remember the nature, but he's got a neutral one and I can't breed for a new one until after F4), random EVs (again, can't breed, so can't EV-train)-Peck-Sky Uppercut-Slash-Blaze KickCacturne Lvl. ~60 @ Quiet Nature, 252 HP/252 Sp. Atk/8 Attack-Pin Missile-Needle Arm-Faint Attack-SpikesLombre Lvl. ~60 @ Nature-Mega Drain-Leech Seed-???-???Glalie Lvl. ~60 @ Nature-???-???-???-???My last two members are big unknowns; Starmie's been recommended, but I'm tempted to go with Sharpedo because I have a huge weakness for Dark-types. (Not as in "my team is weak to Dark-types", I mean I really, really like Dark-types. ) I'll be using my other two starters while I train everything else, here's their planned movesets. Note that Swampert is female, so if I go with Swampert for F4 and Frontier I can raise one with any Nature I want, even though it'd be a pain to actually do.Sceptile:Leaf BladeSlamPursuitFalse Swipe(For catching Pokemon)Swampert:EQuakeMuddy WaterTake DownProtect Quote Me: *has idea* Blade: "I'd say too convoluted, and I know too convoluted =P" "Dangit, I shouldn't have gotten ambitious." --Merc, RE: our plotting Pokémon Rise of the Rockets Profiles: LINK 3DS FC: 3625-9584-9417 (Pokemon X Friend Safari: Electric-type, Pachirisu, Electabuzz, Zebstrika) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisen Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Another not so smart question, which I probably know the answer to:I'm at the Elite Four in Black and need to complete that game yet. If I complete it and finish it so I can trade over Pokemon from Diamond/Platinum/HeartGold, can I then trade those Pokes to White 2, or would I only be able to trade over what appears in the Dex for White 2 before the national dex?

If I complete it and finish it so I can trade over Pokemon from Diamond/Platinum/HeartGold, can I then trade those Pokes to White 2, or would I only be able to trade over what appears in the Dex for White 2 before the national dex?Yes, it is possible to trade all those, and not just the ones in the B/W2 dex. The only restriction is you can't trade until after the first Gym, because it requires the C-gear.

Blessed Blade Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well; if you're trying to transfer from DPPHGSS, then no, it won't work; however, once you get the C-Gear, you can trade between B/W1, and there are no restrictions, like trading in Gen 4. =) Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisen Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Yeah... I was talking about trading between other games, not in-between B/W - B/W2.

Blessed Blade Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 You can trade between games after you get the C-Gear if it's between B/W and B2/W2...

Archer Vonn Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Pokerus is just x2 [Power items are +4 not x4] so depends on how many EVs the Pokemon you KO have. If just one EV, KO two 'mons. Quote 3DS: 3711-9364-3152 PSN: AidecVoros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
