Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Aside from the usual differences in pokemon, are the b/W2 games different at all?

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
... Yeah.
They're the Gold/Silver to B/W's Red/Blue.
I meant WITH EACH OTHER.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Route 4 is either filled with new apartment/office buildings or excavated ruins, there's a cave section that either has an aquatic or magma decor, N is referred to having befriended either Zekrom or Reshiram, Black City/White Forest and Opelucid have the same differences as before, your path through Victory Road differs...

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
There's a few more towns, the pokemon world tournament seems like a lot of fun and a billion times better than the battle subway, the breeding mechanics seem more competitive-battling friendly, and move tutors have returned.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Just started the Drayden fight.
So, I generally use the same names for my player characters.
I was greatly amused when he talked about being impressed "by Forrest and Iris," to another Forrest.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I do this, too. Makes the flashbacks a little more mindscrew-y.
That, and switching versions means that your previous character is retconned into capturing the Legendary Dragon that you didn't capture. (Also retconned into not-catching Kyurem and the Swords of Justice and depending on your interpretation possibly also Zoroark, much like with Red in GSC/HGSS... not-catching as opposed to releasing unless N is just that special.)

You know, B2/W2 is the first time since... Crystal, I believe? that I haven't bought at least one of the two on release. All you lucky, money-having people... *shakes fist*

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Getting ever closer to my pokedex completion. My to-do list:
Spoiler
Yamask-Level 19| needs 34
Deerling-Level 23 | needs 34
Ducklette-Level 23 | needs 35
Baltoy-Level 27 | needs 36

Archen-Level 26 | needs 37
Tirtouga-level 1| needs 37
Skorupi-level 31 | needs 40

Litwick-Level 31 | needs 41/Dusk Stone
Trapinch-Level 21 | needs 35/45
Axew-Level 30 | needs 38/48
Klink-Level 26 | needs 38/49

Buneary-Happiness
Espeon-Happiness
Umbreon-Happiness
Flareon-Stone
Eelektric-Stone
Magmar-needs Magmarizer
Gothita-Trade and level
Heracross-Trade
Cryogonal-Capture or Trade
I should probably have checked what the reward was for completion before going through all this trouble, but I'm so close now, gotta keep grinding. All I can say is thank god for all of the daily level 60-75 trainers out there. (I got 15 pokemon evolved from levels today, but they were all the easy ones who just needed 1-2 levels. The remaining ones I figure I'll probably only be able to get 3-4 a day unless I go grinding audinos or start grinding the elite 4)If my text is blue, I'm being sarcastic.But you already knew that, right?

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I've always viewed pokedex completion as more of a bragging rights reward. I personally feel extremely proud of my living pokedex.
I'm gonna have to get all the medals, though, now that I realize that they exist.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I have a challenge for you guys that have B/W 2. Earn the "One and Only" medal, by stomping the entire Elite 4 (including champ) with only one Pokemon. Bonus points if you turn on challenge mode. (if you have black 2, gives all of their pokemon a 5 level bump) I'll post a pic of my entry once I get hold of a camera that's not attached to the back of my 3DS.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I personally did it with my Level 100 Shaymin that I ported from my SS game. It knows Seed Flare, Air Slash, Earth Power, and Hidden Power (Fire, lucky me), so coverage generally wasn't an issue. Still took me 3 tries though, due to Shauntal's Drifblim and it's STAB'd, Flying Gem'd Acrobatics.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Obligatory Update: Gym 1 Defeated!
]SpoilerTeam Lineup:
Oshawatt - Level 11
Genesect - Level 15
Purrloin - Level 11
Riolu - Level 9 (Yeah, I know everyone is doing it, but I've never raised a Riolu/Lucario)
Mareep - Level 8
Also did the memory link thing, and saw N releasing his Pokemon. Even mentioned the Pkmn White 1 hero by name! They need to do that kind of link with all future Pokemon games. Continuity is rather awesome.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I was sweeping the E4 with just one Pokémon before Challenge Mode was ever released, and the 'mon wasn't anywhere near level 100.
What I think a real challenge would be is fighting the Champion Tournament with only one Pokémon, whose Base Stat Total must be less than 570. (Which neatly eliminates all Legendaries and Pseudo-Legendaries) Exceptions can be made for Regigigas and Slaking, due to their horrifyingly terrible abilities.Last edited by Mando Knight; 2012-10-16 at 05:30 PM.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Back in BW1, I swept the E4 with a dragon dancing gyarados. I did have to use a few elixers and potions, but no revives and no other pokemon. Of course, he was still about level 70, IIRC, so it'd probably be much easier if he were lvl. 100.
If I were to do it in BW2, I'd go for my Starmie. It's got BoltBeam coverage, and access to both minimize and recover.Last edited by Othesemo; 2012-10-16 at 05:34 PM.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
So, I've been clearing out the White Tree Hollow tonight, using the trainers there to help evolve my ever shrinking list of pokemon I still need. Just got the exp millionaire medal. I expected that to be much more difficult.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
I swept the White elite four multiple times with my level 80 (at the start) Volcarona back when I was completing the pokedex. It's really not that hard.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Accepted!
Will post results soon. Garchomp grows hungry for pokeflesh...
Edit: Phone's being a piece of trash, so a photo won't be possible just yet. However, I won with Garchomp (big surprise, heh). Items used: Max potion, Max Ether, Rock Gem. Shell Bell was used for the Elite 4, had to use an Ether since 16 Earthquake PP wasn't enough. Forgot Iris's Haxorus has a Focus Sash, and almost lost to Outrage . Now would be a great time to relearn Dual Chop on Garchomp, since it and Dragon Claw end up having the same power anyway, and Dual Chop breaks subs and sashes. The reduced accuracy is slightly a bummer, though...Last edited by Derjuin; 2012-10-16 at 11:43 PM.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Fact: the fastest way to accumulate Shards after clearing out your daily sources, other than running around in caves with five dozen Max Repels, is to lose at PWT. That's right, you can have your little sibling/cousin/niece/nephew farm Shards for you while they learn to play in the big leagues. That, or you can do something that the computer can cheat easier at, like Mix Rotation or Rentals or something.

Re: Pokémon Thread XIII: Our Ponies are ON FIRE!
Nice. By the way, does anyone know how to expand the PWT? Right now I've got Burgh and Roxie occasionally chipping in at the Driftveil tourney, but my options are still limited to Mix/Rentals/Download, after beating Mix/Rentals/Driftveil a few times. Is there some other requirement to unlocking like, Gym Leaders/Champions?
Also my Black version is now ~30 level 1 munnas richer. Synchronize breeding without Dittos provided a lot of trade fodder .
