Overflow Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 So what's everyone's approximate level now? I'm in the low 30s and would love to battle someone tonight Quote
Brushfire Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 My highest is a 28 after Badge # 4. I didn't get to play much on Monday night as I had a D&D game to DM that night. Am I the only one who nicknames all their Pokemon? Pignite - Boarbeque Simisage - Olerecea Liepard - Selena Musharna - Somnium Throh - Zangief Herdier - Ein Quote
Zergonaleash Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 TAnd aren't those two in the same evolutionary family? So you won't need to trade for them.........unless I'm getting names confused. Zorua and Zoroark aren't limited to only one version, but I need his DS to do the transfer over my Celebi and Suicune/Raikou/Entei from my Soul Silver in order for the event to occur. I posted my FC info a few pages back, if anybody wants to battle I'm in the low 20s right now. Quote
Overflow Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Hey The Damned, this whole game should have been done through DLC, eh? :< Quote
The Damned Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Your name says Overflow, but your tone and speech pattern reminds me of a gigantic ass that made a fool of himself across the entire site. How odd. Must just be my imagination. Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Am I the only one who nicknames all their Pokemon? Not at all though I'd tend to lean towards the ; could always go for punnier names though~!Also... as well as WORKS FOR ME! Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Am I the only one that always starts with all three starters (via starting multiple games on a 2nd DS and trading something over)? I just hate having to choose Quote
XZero Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Am I the only one that always starts with all three starters (via starting multiple games on a 2nd DS and trading something over)?I just hate having to choose I did that with Diamond & Pearl. I didn't this time because I only bought Black. Though if I bothered to look at the Toys r Us flyer, I would have bought both since it was buy 1, get 1 half off ... >( Funny thing is, I never did finish D&P. I finished Platinum last year after about 2 months, but I gave up after getting the 7th badge in Diamond. Quote
Tensei Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 It's not really necessary to do that on B/W since it's supposedly pretty easy to get the other starters through the GTS anyway. Not to mention that this time around you can catch much cooler pokemon than the starters, as opposed to Gen 4. *cough*Scraggy*cough* Did anyone do the Wi-fi Mystery Gift event thing yet? It runs until some time in april and lets you catch a level 15 Victini, which is a legendary fire/psychic pokemon. It's accessible to everyone that can connect to the internet with their DS. Also I give all my pokemon nicknames, my current party consists of: Scrafty - G-unit Lampent - Candlebro Cofagrigus - Ghostie Galvantula - Bugzapper Serperior - Basil and either Pidove (with fly) - V2 or Tirtouga (with surf) - Sheldon They're all around level 45ish, with the exception of the HM slaves obviously.

The Damned Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 I cleared Liberty Island out, but haven't captured Victini yet. I've been having some trouble with not killing it in one hit, so I'm going to wait until I can find more Ultra Balls and something that can whittle its HP down safely. Off to find something that can learn False Swipe and a sleep attack! Quote
Tensei Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Victini tends to use Endure a lot, especially as his first move, I think if you use something that would knock him out right off the bat, you have a good chance of bringing him down to 1 HP. I caught him with a level 33 Zebstrika with thunderwave. Mind you, still had to waste all my ultra/great/timer balls before I finally caught it in a pokeball of all things. Quote
Overflow Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I hit it with magical leaf, sleep powder and caught it in the first ultra ball I threw Quote
Archaon Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Mind you, still had to waste all my ultra/great/timer balls before I finally caught it in a pokeball of all things. I'm convinced that legendaries are programmed to do this. "OK, gonna catch this legendary. Good thing I just bought 99 ultra balls!" "Fuck each and every one of your ultra balls." "POKEBALL GO" "well shit" Every damn time. Quote
The Damned Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Yes, the RNG system does not favor your more expensive, harder-to-find balls at all. But the instant you're down to the shitty cheap ones you started with, suddenly your luck goes up. Unless you plan it that way, then it says "fuck your plans" and then nothing will work at all. I'm also trying to get a decent one, with a good nature and some good IVs. I had one yesterday that was roughly 29 in general, but then had something like 3 in special defense. Quote
ftninja Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I'm also trying to get a decent one, with a good nature and some good IVs. a decent...what? Booger? Victini? Fart? . Be more clear plz. Also, i'd give out my friend code if my wifi worked. Quote
ocre Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Some advice for those doing the Liberty Island/Victini event: I used the ticket after exploring Castelia a little but before I beat Burgh. I was around level 20-25 and it seems like it was the best time to take on the enemies and Victini without being overpowered. Nice job, Deia. :3 As for Poke Balls, I like to color-coordinate the Balls with the Pokemon. For instance, I caught Joltik in a Quick Ball because of the Yellow/Blue scheme the Ball and Pokemon share, regardless of Joltik not being a "Pokemon that flees". I wish there were a special Ball for each type of Pokemon that would compliment them, or maybe a Ball customization feature. I like stuff like that. I seem to have solved my Berry shortage. All I did was get a list of Wild Hold Items and away I went with CompoundEyes Joltik and Frisk Gothita (courtesy of Tensei). I pretty much spent all evening yesterday hunting for Hold Items. Now I'm swimming in Berries! Quote
Overflow Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Wait, where do you get quick balls!? Those are like the best balls in the game! I've caught Level 45 pokemon by throwing those things as soon as the battle starts! I must have them!!! Quote
ocre Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Apparently I got them from Castelia City. "Received from a Clerk ♂ in the upper-right corner of Battle Company's 47F ". You can also get Timer Balls there. He gives you 3 each. You can also buy them on Route 9 and later in the game. Quote
Tensei Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Ok, I just finished the main storyline, on to postgame content. I think I can safely say that this is the best pokemon game to date. Spoilers: Scrafty almost singlehandedly took out all of Ghetsis' pokemon at the end, it was almost embarassing. Quote
Mirby Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 2752 0516 2286 White It's pretty awesome; beat the JP Black, but thought I'd try White for the differences. And yet, the very first Pokémon I encountered in both was a female Lillipup (Yooterii). Oh, yeah, I chose Oshawott as my starter. Wasn't happy with Tepig in Black, so I thought I'd go with Water.

The Derrit Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Spoilers: all i saw was spoilers: friendship is magic Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Well, it is. man growing up during the 80s with a sister who was all into that, probably explains my tolerance to cutesy stuff... Nice to see their updated version has some personality, reminds me of Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends except the animation looks more smooth. Back on topic... very tempting to test some ideas thanks to the new TM system... Quote
Overflow Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Man, Dragon pokemon are soooooo cheap this time around... They spam Dragon Dance until they can wipe out any pokemon with Dragon Slash in one hit. The only way I could beat that gym was using Lilligant's Leach Seed and Sleep Powder and juggling my pokemon (Revive, get killed, switch, revive, etc...) until the dragon died. I don't think I've ever really used an ice or dragon pokemon in my team before... Quote
