The Official Pokemon Topic

[Bundalings]

But they did expand the Pokedex. Massively. It's the biggest regional dex ever.

[Rausaro]

He means the event itself, though I'm still skeptical. You can trade your guy over.

So wait, they have an ingame event in B/W for a pokemon that's exclusive to a sequel? That's new... I didn't think they had reverse compatibility, but then again, this is really just B/W 1.5. With Glaciers.

Hello? What is that supposed to mean?It's an entirely new game, just because they didn't expand the Pokedex doesn't merit itself as a sequel to you?

Lockbox? What event was that for? But yeah, I remember the Azure flute.As for the sequel, I'm just getting a weird vibe from pokemon nowadays. It used to be two main games and a premium version (Ie, Yellow/Crystal/Emerald/Platinum) I had been hoping that the next games would have been a "Grey" or a Sapphire/Ruby remake, much like HG and SS. In this one, we already have a remake of the same region, just with a redone local, pokemon spawns, and an ice age. This is a first.

[Dorek]

I like that, personally. Everybody in the entire world was expecting Grey version. Nobody was expecting B2/W2, certainly not as direct sequels. It shows that the developers actually know they trapped themselves in a rut, and that they can just change things up when they feel like it. Gen III remakes are obviously next, but this kind of thing is good. The series doesn't have to stagnate.Also the Lockbox was an item intended for Gen IV games that your Gen V game would pick up via the transfer, and in it would be a TM which contained Snarl (95, I think?). It never got released, so the only way to get the move is from the event Zoroark that knew it, which was thankfully male so you could breed out the move.

[Ballom Nom Nom]

I thought that Snarl was actually released as an HM proper in B2/W2.~B~

[Bundalings]

Yes, Snarl is a regular TM in BW2.

[Dorek]

Well, there you go. At least they did that.

[Archer Vonn]

Well if it's a first why'd you say it wasn't

[PowerMiner]

Well, I finished breeding my team. I'm ready for White 2! This is my first time picking up a Pokemon title on launch day! Or even being a Pokemon fan while one is launched..In other news,I FOUND A SHINY NIDORINO ON FIRERED! But since I was in the Great Marsh.. =(It escaped!8 Badges on Firered, gonna get all of my pokemon to level 50 before I go to the Pokemon League, or many on one of the Elite Four.

[Dorek]

Man, I keep forgetting that B2/W2 releases tomorrow. I haven't even pre-ordered it =P. Anybody know of any good deals floating around?

[PowerMiner]

Frys (No idea if this is the same where you are) has it on their website for $30, instead of $35. I'm getting it there.

[Dorek]

I just ordered it from Amazon. Needed some things anyway, so free shipping helps.Anyhow... release day. I won't get mine for a few days. Any superfan that has one now? =P.Also, the Genesect event does NOT work on B/W, which is just... silly.

[Bundalings]

So I just got Black 2. Can someone help me trade some eggs over? If you help me I'll give you six FDW, I have a big selection so just ask. someone halp

[Jedi Master J.]

Anyhow... release day. I won't get mine for a few days. Any superfan that has one now? =P.

Yeah, I have it. XD Oh, and its Black 2 version.I also got lucky and got a shiny Oshawott as my starter.

[Blessed Blade]

I just got Black... 2... *Looks at everyone else* Huh. Popular version, huh? xDJMJ: Nice; I'm going for a Tepig this time, given that I got an Oshawott on Black 1, got a Snivy on White, and now I'm going for the obvious pick. (No it's not because what's-his-name got a Tepig in the animated short and made it look like a good Pokemon for once, what are you talking about? >> <<) Still naming it GanonPork, though. =PDorek: My apologies for being wrong about that, again. D= I just assumed it would, based off previous Wi-Fi events. =/

[Nara]

I have White 2. =P *is different*Although I feel ridiculously nooby because I can't beat Burgh. But that's only because I'm too stubborn to use Pokemon other than my set team. Because I could very well unleash my swarm of 4 male Swablu fromtheDreamRadar on him.4 males. D'=I also got a male Riolu and two female Munnas.

[PowerMiner]

I have White 2 as well. I'm coming close to where Burgh is..

[Delta Titan Sparta]

Lucky. I recently got Ruby, which is, to date, my ONLY game. T.TBut, I've got all the badges and caught Groudon. Now: to fill up my Pokedex and beat the Elite Four!

[Archer Vonn]

I'd have Black 2, but I'm broker than Blaziken. Welp gonna go play FireRed

Haha, no worries, I had assumed the same thing. It's a bummer, but hey, watcha gonna do.I ordered White 2. White Kyurem kills your face. Also I got White to start with, so I'd rather have some consistency in that.I did buy the Dream Radar, but I've only used it twice. Thus far I have a Munna and a Green Shard. It's actually a fun application.

[Blessed Blade]

I want Dream Radar, but to quote Kanye above, I'm more broke than Speed Boost Blaziken. =P This month's been horrible in terms of releases, simply because they're all packed together in one or two weeks, all designed to get me to spend money. And it's working. ^^' However, I do plan on getting it the instant I get an eShop card next, though.

[Delta Titan Sparta]

I'd get Black 2 as well, seeing as how I prefer Black Kyurem to White Kyurem.Oh, I was at ShopKo earlier, and I saw a Kyurem set of cards that came with a little Kyurem figure! Man, wish I'd had money... T.T

[Blessed Blade]

Say, has anyone synced with their Global Link account yet? I had read that you were able to get those three C-Gear skins that promoted the last movie(The Zekrom/Reshiram once, not the Keldeo one), if you had both Black/White and Black2/White2 registered(Though one of the two, obviously. =P). However, I have both Black and Black 2 registered, and the skins appeared in neither the Black customization section or the Black 2 customization section. =/

You're not the only one. I reread the article on the main website, and it just said something along the lines of "Stay tuned for more info on this amazing promotion!"...Does anyone know if there are any consequences to changing DS' for the original Pokemon White? So I don't have to switch out White 2 to get the other one game synced.

[Blessed Blade]

Yeah, I just found that too... Well, either way, I'm set. =PIf you've already activated Wi-Fi on it, and synced it, things mess up badly. I myself am waiting to resync Black 1. xD

[Delta Titan Sparta]

Wow, I feel left out. Anyway, found a pic of what I saw earlier.

You lose your PAL Pad contacts. It's a bummer, but if you ever need to trade with anybody again, you can really just ask them. Still a poorly designed system; you can't even see what the original codes are once you've entered them. Edited October 8, 2012 by VIII. Axel

[PowerMiner]

Alright...Anyways, I've rebattled Pokemon Breeder April on Route 6 in White 2 many times now... Is this some kind of glitch? I'm pretty sure you're supposed to battle trainers once. Abusing it to farm up some of the lower levels of my team. Though it is kinda slow.. (Right..?? Excluding Vs. Seeker) =P@Delta: Ironic, as I'm trying to get Emerald.

[Blessed Blade]

The verdict seems to be that it's an intentionally unintentional glitch. Considering it's been known since the release of B/W2 in Japan, and still hasn't been fixed, they probably just left it in there for those who WANT to rebattle people a lot, and not just the Sports Dome people. =P

[Delta Titan Sparta]

@Delta: Ironic, as I'm trying to get Emerald.

Try GameStop. You can usually find the first 4 generations of Pokemon games there. If not, try eBay.

[PowerMiner]

No Gamestops carry Gameboy normal, color, or advance games where I live. Also eBay has hundreds of fakes. I bought an Emerald which is hopefully real off eBay recently.. I really hope it's real. Then I just n

Actually, if anyone bothered to talk to her again, it appears to be intentional. From experience, if GameFreak wanted to "fix" it, all they need to do is add a line of code.

[Delta Titan Sparta]

Which, from our standpoint, is pretty hard. For them? Pah! Piece of cake.

[Nara]

Well, assuming the coding has remained the same from the Gen 3 games, it's pretty simple. '-'Besides, the fact that her after-battle text says that she wants to battle you every time you enter the route implies that either A. GameFreak intended it to be like that or B. they changed the text to make it appear like they intended it to be like that, which would be just as simple (if anything, more typing) as adding a line of code to fix it.But anyway, just arrived in Mistralton City. After I destroy Skyla with my three Pokemon that were useless against Clay, I can finally finish my final team.Oh, I also got two more DR Swablu. They're female this time. =D I also got a Female Riolu with that bunch, along with Tornadus and a female Drifloon.

But RBG were so charming and perfect and wonderful! Isn't it amazing how Charizard can't fly? All the new games suck IMO 151 ftw Edited October 9, 2012 by Makaru

[Delta Titan Sparta]

I enjoyed Gens 3 and 4, game-wise, and Gens 1 and 2, anime-wise. What's for Gen 6? A chair Pokemon?

[Archer Vonn]

You didn't enjoy Black and White?what are you DOING here! get out!

[Delta Titan Sparta]

Actually, I haven't seen the show or played the games. I'm broker than a TM after use, so no DS and games.

[Archer Vonn]

Ok let's not all start using one of the very many 'broke' analogies Pokemon hasThe show got terrible, Meowth quit Team Rocket and joined Team Ash.

[Delta Titan Sparta]

:oI think this is applicable...Why, people who run the show!? Why upset the balance I so loved in the earlier series? Why!? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

[Archer Vonn]

They ran out of ideas. The show got bad a long time ago anyways dunno why you're so melodramatic
