The Official B&W/5th gen Discussion Thread - GAMES OUT EVERYWHERE

[Kayo]

... if it's out now....

should this thread even still exist? I mean, we don't have an "Official R&S/3rd gen Discussion Thread."

I guess this thread could just be used for general talking until the games have been out for a bit...

Should this thread still exist? Of course. I'm tossing polls and stuff there too. Plus the game just came out, and there's a whole new change to competitive battling. We need to adjust.

Still having no luck.

5% chance in shaking grass, I'm pretty sure. You'll mostly find Audino, so don't get your hopes up.

In the tall patches or short patches?

[Cornwad]

I never had any trouble finding both in my japanese black version. I would move on and check back later.

I don't think it matters. As long as it's shaking.

[Cornwad]

Wait, does the English version work with classic DS action replays? Now that would be a reason for me to get this.

I haven't kept up with the news so pardon me if this is common knowledge or whatever, but did the critical hit ratio in White increase at all in comparison to every other game?

Nah, it's still the same as the others.
Although it does feel as if CHs occur more often in this Gen.

This Gen actually feels really fast paced.

Thought seeing rain, sandstorm, hail, and sunny days animations were taking up time? Just look at the touch screen for confirmation!

Using a Potion and then go back to the menu to use another Potion? Use as many as you want in the party screen!

Battles? Faster!

Mash A button endlessly after winning? It does work now!

[Kayo]

Battles are so much more fun. Don't think I can go back now.

[Nayrman]

I love how much faster they move. Tap A to go faster! Finally. Makes level grinding and battles with trainers go by so much faster.

Is there anything like the VS. Seeker in this game?

Is there anything like the VS. Seeker in this game?

Don't know yet. I'm hoping so though.

[DededeCloneChris]

I regret not naming my female trainer Hilda because that's the apparent canon name she has. I instead named her White.

And the dude's name is Hilbert.

[Kayo]

I always try to make it a unique variation of my name, possibly tying in the version name. This time, something beginning with B, for Black (lolk).

I named myself Beto. Since Beto is a shortening of my name in Spanish (Roberto)

haters gon' hate

I still have 2 open spots left in my party.
And the last 2 Pokemon I want are far from my reach.
