    I got one trying to catch Reshiram. It failed.

    My first was on something stupid. I know I made a post about it somewhere.
    The name is "tonberrian", even when it begins a sentence. It's magic, I ain't gotta 'splain why.

    All the crit captures I remember off the top of my head were, like, Ultra Ball versus Level 2 Lillipup. Speaking of, Dream World Lillipup is totally making the awesome face.

    Can I request that you list things you don't have access to via Breed/Evolve? Makes it easier for me to tell what you need me to grab for you. :P

    EDIT: I'm at 620/628 (Owned/Seen) and I've got a couple who need to get traded around to evolve.

    For example, I need the following (non-legendary) pokemon:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Growlithe/Arcanine
    Nosepass/Probopass
    Stunky/Skuntank
    Spiritomb

    I need the following Items/Evolutions:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Poliwrath (I can catch it wild, and am trying)
    Victribell (Need Leafstone)
    Ludicolo (Need Water Stone)
    Shiftry (Need Leaf Stone)
    Gorebyss (Deep Sea Scale?)
    Roserade (Shiny Stone?)
    Magmortar (Magmarizer)

    I need the following legendaries (just to fill holes):
    Spoiler
    Show
    Mew
    Latias
    Jirachi
    Deoxys
    Dialga
    Darkrai
    Shaymin
    Manaphy
    Phione
    Arceus
    Genesect
    Keldeo
    Moletta

    Wait! Does this mean you have a tauros? I have every one of the original 150 except for that and the bulbasaur and charmander lines. I'll trade you any of those that I've got, if you're interested. My internet is fixed, so I don't have the internet problems that I used to.
    I'm back.

    I also have a tauros. He is level 13 and only knows tail whip, but breeding one off is easy.

    Well, that cuts me down to Palkia. I can get that guy illegitimately, but yeah, legit's cool, too.

    I got Fire/Water/Thunder/Leaf Stones on tap at Black City, for what it's worth.

    The Arceus event is still going on, so you can grab yours there (password ARCEUSVOTE). Keldeo, Melotta, and Genesect haven't been released yet, if I recall correctly. Everything "Legendary" I could do tradebacks on or dupe and send to you (Except Phione, that guy can be bred so you could keep that). Of the ones I have, Mew, Keldeo, Melotta, and Genesect are only ones hacked in from the ground-up from scratch, everything else is from hacking in in-game events and such.

    Yeah, totally, I got that. I even got a fresh Charmander and Bulbasaur right now 'cause I needed their dex entries. Tauros was the only one of the pokemon I never caught in the original red/blue/yellow games, so I have a grudge against him.

    Okay, I got my Reshiram, but now I feel kind of obligated to level up my Zekrom. This is gonna take awhile, considering i barely play any more.

    I've got something like 30 lvl. 1 Spiritomb that I bred. None of them are particularly good IV wise (turns out my diamond one sucked, and my best ditto has terrible Sp. Atk.), but if you just need one for pokedex, I can trade you one.

    Er, a clarificatin, actually. I'd like to know if you wanted to do tradebacks or if you were okay with receiving duplicates. Then, like, well, you can give me lillipups if you are okay with legendary dupes, or if you're feeling nice, really, any of the pokemon I listed in that stage would be cool. Yeah, I can breed and evolve them, but why do that when I could be lazy? Cleffa, Azurill, and Happiny would be a good start because I hate baby pokemon, and Nidoran M because that whole family makes my head hurt when it comes to breeding.

    Trade backs on legends would probably be best.

    I can hunt up a few of those pokes, I think. It might take me a bit though. I definitely have a Scyther on hand, if you don't mind me demanding her back.

    How long is it in Pokemon Black before you're able to access the WiFi stuff? Now that I have MyFi, I really want to snag that Arceus before it disappears, but I haven't started Black yet and don't want to spend an hour before I can use the WiFi.

    Also, are there any other events going on right now? How do you get the Arceus anyways?

    Me want Legendaries that I've never had the chance to snag before..!!!!

    There's an event through wi-fi where you can get a lvl 100 Reshiram or Zekrom. But I have no idea how to get Arceus.

    You get Arceus through a Dream World event. The password is ARCEUSVOTE.

    To be a bit more clear on things, you need to resolve the Muuna storyline with Dr. Fennel in-game before you can use Game Sync and Dream World. You'll also need to create a global link account and sync your cartridge with it. Then you'll see the Arceus promotion (among a couple others) when you click on the double-smiley-face promotions button at Pokemon-gl.

    The Arceus promotion ends May 1st, so you got some time to get there.

    Reshiram and Zekrom must be a Mystery Gift event, 'cause I've not got it yet and have been too lazy to pick up my Mewtwo from that to get a new one.

    Great. I'm currently just getting through those woods outside Azalea. You advised getting a Heracross, so I went back to Azalea (since that's the nearest area you can get Heracri from headbutting).

    I headbutted every tree.

    The ones that had pokemon, I headbutted 9 more times.

    No heracri.

    So, do I wait to get one until much, much, much later, or do I make the long, long, long trek back to that route north of the first one you go on, then grind it up enormously?

    Go to the route just before Azelea Town. I don't think Heracross actually show up in the town itself, but they show up relatively often just outside of town.
