PowerMiner Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) You can activate Challenge Mode at any time, you know. (Right?)I'm still waiting for Challenge Mode from my friend who seems to be "Dropping out" of Pokemon. -___-He still refuses to EV train for no good reason. I'd just like to battle him without a complete advantage for once. =/ I think it's partially because he's upset they didn't use the same character in Black 2.Any ideas how I can force get him back in the spirit and actually EV Train?And no, I already tried winning against him a ton of times.=P Edited October 23, 2012 by Hero: Fighter of Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyska Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Well, EV training is a lot easier now thanks to Join Avenue, provided you have the right stores and the money to afford the items...I'm going to try and get Challenge mode- hopefully from my brother's Japanese Black 2. But if I decide to do a Nuzlocke, I'll probably activate it after the first battle... Quote 3DS Friend Code: 0018-0767-4231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ektris Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I actually had not known that you could activate Challenge Mode at any time. I was under the impression it was only available when starting a new game, hence my confusion. A friend pointed that out earlier today for me as well.Looks like I'll get the key then activate it for now. While 2 Kyurems and 2 potential Genesects is indeed enticing... I don't know if I really want to go through the whole game again. It'd be different if I could have started on the hard difficulty, but oh well...~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home.

Nara Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Nuzlocke rules apply whenever the challenger feels they should. It's meant to be a really flexible challenge; if you want something to happen (or not happen), do it. Unless it violates the essential three rules.

Nara Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Actually that would violate one of the essential rules. Stuff going there is an automatic no-go (though, there are debates on whether or not it'd be legal for a Pokemon to be revived by afterbattle evolution). However, whether or not you restart the game due to a team wipe or until you run out of living Pokemon is up to you.

Archer Vonn Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) False As a mercy rule, allowing 1-3 "second chances" or revives of fallen team members.From the wiki with forums that we all go on anywayMy point being that the more flexible you are with your Nuzlozcke the easier it'll be.

Dorek Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 If we're going to argue semantics, the creator himself says "as long as your definition stays consistent, it's not cheating" from that site that we CAN mention which is Twitter.The challenge is meant to be fun, not frustrating (realistically it's for people who find frustrating fun, but again, details details). Some rules say that you can shuffle Pokemon to boxes when they faint, in case you have something that's worth keeping for when you're playing it straight, provided you don't use them again. As long as you stick to the spirit of the rules, you're doing the Nuzlocke challenge.But then again, I forget how pokemanz is srs bsns.

Bundalings Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 So with that D-Arts Mewtwo incoming, what other Pokemon do you think they'll make/you wish they'd make?Lucario, Scizor, Garchomp and Zoroark seem fairly obvious, but I'd really like some Eeveelutions.I don't know anything about the brand, does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to be released in the US? Japanese date was March, I think. Quote I want to THRIVE Not just survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorek Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 As far as I know, they don't actually release outside of Japan, you have to import from hobbyists (or go the traditional eBay route). You can often find good deals, but it takes a bit of digging.I'd love to see Tyranitar, personally, but he might not work so well with dem stubby arms. Metagross could be legit; might just be fun to see non-humanoids, but knowing other D-Art figures...

Ektris Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Well they just revealed Charizard. And Venusaur and Blastoise are right above them, with a Pikachu supposedly floating around somewhere.An update: I've been told Mewtwo is set for a March release at 3800 yen, which at the moment is about $47. I'd definitely wait and see if Bluefin is going to be able to bring these over to online American retailers like they have with all the other D-Arts (which is why the Megaman ones are on Amazon), but licensing may be an issue. Because if so, that means you will be able to get them on places like Amazon, and probably with free shipping too. Because I know it's usually less the price of the figure when importing from a Japanese retailer than it is the shipping that kills you.And on that note, at least Mewtwo isn't an exclusive. So you won't have to import through a middle man, which would make it even more expensive. You'll just have to use a Japanese hobby store like HLJ or AmiAmi. That is, again, assuming it doesn't get brought over or you'd just rather deal with often-ridiculous eBay prices.Update 2:Oh there they aaaaare:Looks like the Pikachu may have been a false rumor then?~|ET|~ Edited October 26, 2012 by Electric Turahk Quote E-T...

Senrab Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Does anyone know some good EV training spots in Black 2, specifically for Defense and HP? Quote 3DS FC: 0216 - 1922 - 2231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballom Nom Nom Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) HP is Stunfisk in Irricus City while surfing, as before. For Defense, either Roggenrola in Relic Passage (34%), or Victory Road B2F with Boldore and Onix (100%). The latter's better, clearly, but if your Pokemon are more defensive and lower in level, you can choose the former.~B~ Edited October 27, 2012 by Ballom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 So in my Black 2, I've finally come up with a team I'm happy with!"Tohru"/Samurott"Moses"/Lucario"Zecora"/Zebstrika"Helena"/GardevoirLeavannyVibrava (soon to be Flygon)Probably useless in the metagame, but I've never really participated in that, anyway. Also, as you can see, my last two still need names. I asked for suggestions on my blog, but didn't get much of a response, so I figured I'd mention it here. I like to give my team names based on their species as well as their attributes; in this case, Leavanny is bashful, and Vibrava is adamant and "likes to fight". Anyone with suggestions can PM me.

Senrab Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Is it actually possible to fill the regional Pokedex without trading with people? One of the ones I need is Oshawott, which is apparently nowhere in the game unless you chose it as a starter or your rival has it.

Alyska Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Nope, you'll need to do at least a GTS trade to get it in your dex. You can see a Dewott by battling with Nate/Rosa at the subway, then get a Dewott of the GTS and evolve/breed it.
