Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
On the topic of magnemite, didn't it used to have Levitate as an ability? I was really irritated to find out it didn't have that, and instead you have to pick up a late game ability and waste a turn to get it. If magnemite isn't levitating how do they expect it to be moving?
If my text is blue, I'm being sarcastic.But you already knew that, right?

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Guess I just misremembered then.
Anyway, does anyone know if it's possible to expand your join avenue to open more shops? I figured 8 was the cap, but there's medals that say things like "Open 50 shops in join avenue", and I doubt they want you to close up and replace your shops that often... or do they?If my text is blue, I'm being sarcastic.But you already knew that, right?

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Beat the first gym last night... felt very lackluster. Normal types, really? And crappy ones as that.
Also... Spoilers... for that gym:
SpoilerReally? Reducing Cheren, the rival from BW1 to being the first Gym Leader? Hell, he had powerful enough pokemon to be a champion, or a member of the elite four...
That was a bit of a disappointment for me... but we'll see how things move along.
EDIT:
Spoilers for Pre-First-Gym Hugh (BW2 Rival):
SpoilerWow, looks like they took the rival from Gold/Silver, and simply made him the opposite. He cares about Pokemon TOO MUCH. Freaks out at tiny little things.
Yeah...
But on the plus side, I do like the change of pace, I haven't seen a rival that has that kind of personality yet.Last edited by Alaris; 2012-10-13 at 02:27 PM.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Question, about Hidden grottos. Do you think it's more fair that I can only catch one Hidden grotto pokemon but it doesn't count as a route, or I can pick between a hidden grotto pokemon and a normal route pokemon if the area has a hidden grotto I can reach?

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
It depends. Do you play that each room in a cave is its own area for the purposes of catching pokemon? Because in that case, I'd say hidden grottos are basically the same situation.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Great...
Started my Nuzlocke.
On Route 19, I caught a Purrloin. Named it "Kitty!". On route 20, it died to the very first trainer's Patrat's crit, in one hit from full. This run is not looking good.
Worse, I've already gotten the Mystery Gift Genesect and sent over the Tornadus from the dream, so if it stays like this, I've just lost both of those. And I also lose the best ID number I've ever had. Look:
EDIT: Wow that's a massive pic. Changing the link to a thumbnail, but the number is 09999
EDIT AGAIN: Route 20's poke is a Sewaddle named ComfyCoat.
EDIT THE THIRD: DOUBLEPOST AVOIDANCE: Patrat at Floccesy Ranch, named Looker. Because frankly, he does it better than that idiot from Platinum ever did.
YET ANOTHER EDIT WHERE DOES IT END!!: Okay, why does a ranch have a janitor who wants to spar... Aaand his Lillipup killed my Patrat. Stupid underestimating-effects-of-Leer. I've got 5 pokes (limiting amount I use Dream Radar ones), and two are down. This is going really badly.Last edited by Qwertystop; 2012-10-13 at 04:42 PM.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
That's a nice ID number.
Too bad about the casualties, though. I hope you manage to find a magnemite, or a shuckle on the dream radar. He's a really good tank for nuzlockes.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I found a Shuckle, but he came after I found Tornadus. By the rules I figured out, that means I can't use him til the third gym (pre-Tornadus is at first gym, Tornadus is at second, post-Tornadus-pre-next-guy is at third, etcetera).
EDIT: Wow that was close. ComfyCoat taken to 1 by a crit Scratch from a wild Psyduck. The way this is going, I'm considering allowing Revives as long as they're used in-battle (quick enough care and they're not dead yet). I still lose those first two, but I've got a few from Dream Radar.
EDIT: First Gym: Complete! First pokemon from Dream Tier One: Recievable! So do I get Munna (first, third, and fourth from that tier) or Sigilyph (second)?
Current Party:
ComfyCoat, level 12 Naive Sewaddle.
Upnose, level 11 Sassy Snivy
Genesect, level 15 Gentle GenesectLast edited by Qwertystop; 2012-10-13 at 05:32 PM.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I determine it based on the area listed on the Pokemon's stat screen, so one hidden grotto pokemon.
Anyway, I'm slugging my way through Relic Passage right now. I absolutely shouldn't be, because nuzlocke, but my urge to explore and see everything wins out. As underlevelled as I am (26-28), the place is brutal. I lost Akem Manah (my Yamask) to a Boldore Rock Slide critical, and am probably going to lose two or three more before I make to the other side.Last edited by Agent_0042; 2012-10-13 at 07:06 PM.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Stupid cheating game... Clay's already got one of the most hax Pokémon of the generation, why give him the unfair RNG advantage, too?
SpoilerAlso, the guy who gives you Snarl is actually a Zoroark. Did not see that coming...Last edited by Mando Knight; 2012-10-13 at 10:59 PM.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Wait, what? Huh? Um, so is Unova Link something that I should be doing right now, or is that just for postgame stuff?

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Unova link is definitely something you should be doing now. The Memory Link unlocks special pokemon owned by N, and also lets you see flashbacks as you go along the main story. It's all very neat.

I love the irony that all of N's pokemon have hidden power fighting.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
The more I read about Challenge mode, the more I desparately want it to have been a starting option. Or at least the keys be tradable via wifi. Dammit, Nintendo.
Well, maybe I can hold out hope for it being so in the next generation.
Ho hum, at least my pass through W2 is going to be amazing.
(Though I think I may well scrap my half-completed nominal team - Pidove/Golet (for Fly), DW Corphish (if I ever manage to catch one!!!), Magnamite, Sewaddle, Axew and ? (probably a starter from one generation or another)) for something bred and prepared with a bit more punch. I'm okay with running through a fairly mediocre team (my Emerald run was Seviper/Whishcash/Sceptile/Sableye/Typhosion/Swellow; I needed to do some serious level-grind to beat the E4), trying that on hard mode... my not be wise! Hopefully, though, by that point, I'll have access to most Pokemon from all generations.)

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I am annoyed. I want to get a Memory Link between my Black and my Black 2. However, I am currently at university, so the "borrow my brother's DS for a while" plan is out, and none of the WiFi hotspots appear to be compatible. There may be hotspots in town, but I have no idea if those are compatible, and it's a bit of a walk there only to be disappointed. And I have no idea how I would go about making one for myself. Any help?

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I was having trouble finding compatible wifi as well. I did manage to find a solution, though. Do you know anyone with a smartphone capable of making a wireless hotspot? I know a classmate of mine couldn't figure it out with his iPhone, but on my Android phone I'm able to set the hotspot so it's an open network.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Well, lost the first Munna in the factory place in the second gym town. Got a magnemite (named Ama because i slipped and hit enter midway through typing Amalgam), though, and will soon replace the Munna with a Sigilyph.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I just got to the seventh gym, and I've decided that I don't like Opelucid City's music in Black and Black 2
The White music is so much more awesome.
