Hello all. How far is everyone in Pokemon Black or White? Well, I figured this would be a good place to post what we've been up to on our journeys through the Unova region. If you want to have one post and update it as you go, cool. Or if you want to post whenever you feel like it, that's cool too. Just though this would be a fun thread to see how far everyone is. ;)
Of course, this will be spoiler-tastic so yeah... :P
Nayrman's Log:
March 6th, 2011 - RELEASE DAY!
Started out the game, and was a bit perplexed as to why the game looked the same, but once I started doing things I realized the environments and animations look much better than they usually do. Sure, sprites look like poop when you zoom in on them, but that was a given. I chose Tepig as my starter and whooped my two rivals easily at first. I went upwards and caught a Lillipup and Patrat for kicks basically. Lillipup is surprisingly good for this early in the game since it's attack is decent. Went up north still to first gym town. Beat this guy N who totally isn't the bad guy, then got a Pansage, the grass monkey. They give it to you specifically so you can beat the gym leader. It's like the game wants you to win or something. How odd...
Beat the first gym. Wasn't hard in the slightest. Tepig and Mansage did all the work. I then went to Route 3 and caught a Blitzie, the electric Zebra. I rather like this pokemon to be honest. I also caught some Purrloins and Pidoves. Thanks to Bluaki, I got some eggs that I wanted. Snivy, Oshawott, and Zorua. Zorua's ability is neat, but rather confusing, even for the user. @_@;;
I trained for a while and went to the second gym town. I messed around a bit and walked around then went to the gym. I'm surprised it's a normal gym, as I'm not sure if that's happened before. Well, needless to say I almost got my butt kicked. Normal types? Pesh. No problem. They're normal, they're strong against nothing. *trots in there and Watchog obliterates my entire team save for Pignite, as it's only fighting move saves the day* Er... I was underlevelled, yeah, WAY underlevelled. Heh heh.
I then decided to do some serious level grinding after Team Plasma stole some fossil, not that I care but whatever. All three starters evolve to second forms and I whoop Team Plasma in not-Viridian Forest. To be honest I like the new bugs, but I'm not gonna bother using any of them. Heh heh. I got some really good experience, and all five pokemon in my team levelled up to level 21. This is going well so far.
I then cross a very cool bridge sequence to reach Castelia city. Seriously, that bridge was awesome. A bit too long, but it's nice to see Game Freak trying new visual designs instead of the blocky mess the series was starting to become. Maybe someday we'll get to move diagonally. *laughs* Castelia city is also really fun to walk around in. I took a look around before doing something of the utmost importance. I took the boat to Liberty Island. Beat up some Team Plasma chumps with my Pignite's fists of fury. Now it was time for Victini.
First, I paralyzed it with Thunder Wave. Then widdled it's health down to next to nothing. Blitzie got KO'ed by Confusion, now it's Servine's turn to sit there while I try to catch it. Sequence:
Great Ball 1 - Does nothing. catches, pops open. Fuck...
Great Ball 2 - Does nothing. catches, pops open. FUCK...
Great Ball 3 - Does nothing. catches, pops open. FUCK! Now I know why they blatantly give you an Ultra Ball outside... you might need it...
Great Ball 4 - Catches... rock, rock, rock... pops open. ARGH!
Great Ball 5 - Catches.... rock, rock, rock...CLICK! GOTCHA! VICTINI WAS CAUGHT!
So my team is now set, time to get serious about Unova, and take our time from now on now that I realized I did so much in day 1. Heh heh heh... :P
Victini, Servine, Pignite, Dewott, Blitzie, and Zorua. My team for this particular journey. This is fun so far.
Day 2: An easy Gym and a not so easy Gym
Played a lot more today. I level grinding Victini up to the rest of my team, and then took on 3rd Gym. Oh bugs, you're so painfully pointless. Whooped everyone in your sorry gym without breaking a sweat. Heh heh. Then I beat up my two rivals for some decent experience. Next came a sandstorm route with a lot of trainers to fight. LOTS of good exp here. I'm noticing this game has a slight increase in trainers on any given route to make sure you're a decent level when you head to a new town. I level grinded a bit more on Route 4 and Route 16 between trainers and wild battles, I felt I was good to go.
I then went to Electric gym. Here I saw my first glimpse of this gen's pikachu. Yeah, it's cute, and it's flying part of it is annoying. Still, I beat the four trainers easily. However, I then got to the Gym Leader. Unfortunately, the only Ice type move I had was with Dewott. I took a chance and he got pummeled. Volt Switch is a really good move for same type gyms. Emolga's took down Dewott and Victini before Zorua finished them off. Zebstrika then took on her Zebstrika. Since I was one level higher, and faster, spamming Fire Charge did the thing. Since no doubt the other moves it had were electric, it was forced to use Fir Charge as well. I win since I was level 28 and she was level 27.
So yeah, good progress, but having trouble with gym leaders. I may level grind some more later but I hardly need to record that here. :P
Day 3: Smooth Sailing.
After switching out Zebstrika for Emolga for it's flying type and awesome speed, I trained and battled well. I beat Clay at the Earth Gym, and had and easy time, and Emolga alone took out the Flying type gym. I think I just had some bad match-ups earlier in the game. But yeah, things are going well. All three starters evolved into their final forms, which is awesome. Also, I taught Zoruark Shadow Claw that I happened to find. Also, Route 7 is a pretty good grinding spot. I'm gonna level grind a bit to reach level 40 and call it a day. :)
Day 4: Lots of stuff got done today.
Yeah, I did a ton of stuff today. After fighting the Ice Gym and going through Twist Cave, I found I was actually overlevelled quite a bit. So after some sidequests to get Waterfall, which you don't need to use thankfully, I went to that sand cavern again as the story said. I followed the plot for a bit then I saw online the three legendary fighting things were open now. I went to go catch the first two, since the last one is on Victory Road.
Let me get this straight with everyone... I HATE TRYING TO CATCH LEGENDARIES! Whittle it's health all the way down? Check. Paralyze or put it to sleep? Check. Ultra Balls used? Like twenty for each. X_X;; Admittedly, I didn't have THAT hard a time getting them, but sitting there and tapping "Ultra Ball" over and over again is just a pain. The last one on Victory Road was a ninny. First Ultra Ball thrown. Three wobbles *ZOMG FIRST BALL!?!?!* It opens and the next twenty Ultra Balls don't even wobble. Ugh. But I got him in the end though.
But before that, I took on the Dragon Gym. That gym is actually pretty tough, as I only had two Ice Moves on me and they were both with Samurott. So I fought with other guys to reach the leader and they did some good damage on me. But I won against the leader easy. Hooray for Blizzard. :P So yeah, that was easy. Oh, and given the Masterball. I'm gonna save it for that Fire/Bug Mothra thing. I don't care about the stupid flying genie thingamahoozit. It looks stupid and it should feel stupid.
Victory Road was surprisingly easy. It's a mountain this time rather than just a maze. So as long as you don't slide down the edges except where you have to, it's pretty easy to get through. Also, the trainers go for a "tough but few in number route". There are only about eight to ten trainers by my count going through, but they've got some good pokemon on them. So yeah. Gonna level grind to Level 50 then take on the E4 and whatever happens next. Maybe tomorrow. :D
Final Update: Elite 4 and Endgame
[spoiler]Yep, it's endgame folks. I did some slight grinding to level 50 and took on the Elite Four. Since two of them are Psychic and Ghost, Zoroark raped them. The dark trainer gave me some problems, if only because I had only one fighting move on me. The fighting type dude gave no problems either. Next was a series of epic cutscenes and battles. Oh how I love they finally made cutscenes. Huge castles, great music, etc. Oh, and you catch your legendary before the final fight. Awesome. Amazingly, I caught Reshiram on my first Ultra Ball. How odd... Also, N is a pain. You fight Zekrom/Reshiram first. And since he's levelled it a bit, it's stronger than your legendary. And it knows Light Screen if you fight Zekrom. SUCH....A...PAIN... The rest of his team is easy enough though. Then you fight Ghetsis, who wasn't as bad as his son. Thankfully, Samurot used Blizzard and Critical I hit KO'ed his best pokemon, so that was a lucky break. But yeah, the ending was great, and I love this game. A bit short compared to some others, but I still have half the region to explore on the east side. So yay.[/spoiler]
first post also edit spacelol
Day 1: Clocked in about a half hour. That's all for now. Picked Snivy as my starter, and I named him Archontas. Got some Lillipups and Patrats to trade to blu for her eggs (unless she want's more ;-;), then decided to turn it off for now. I got things to do tonight. So, more going on tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get my Litwick, Pansage, Tepig, and Solosis soon.
Current team: Archontas (Snivy), Lillipup, Lillipup, Patrat, Lillipup, Patrat
PC: None yet
Current Progress: Unopened case.
Still waiting for bro. 8)
Alright, I just beat the first GYM and made it to the Day-Care.
I caught a Lillipup and evolved it into a Herdier.
OH GOD I WANT MY DOKKORA!!!
I'm currently at Castelia on Black Version, and my team now consists of Dewott, Roggenrola (beat 2nd gym leader by itself=awesome), Lilil (there's a girl who gives you one for Cottonee, so I have Lilil even though I'm in Black), Blitzle, and my glorious VICTINI.

That's funny. Because in my White version she asks for a Petilil and gives you a Cottonee.
I guess the one she gives to the player depends on the version and which exclusive you can't obtain in the wild.
Anyways, I made it to Shippou City, and guess what?
I FINALLY CAUGHT MY DOKKORA!!!
I JUST LOVE THE WAY IT FLIPS ITS MOTHERFREAKING BOARD IN MIDAIR DURING BATTLE!!!
So now my team goes as follows: Timburr, Drilbur, Herdier, Starter and PanStarter.
Currently entering Pinwheel Forest in White version, after finally getting past that Normal Gym.
Main team thus far:
Sayaka (Lv. 17 Oshawott, female) [Probably won't evolve until Level 35, when it learns Aqua Tail]
Thardus (Lv. 18 Roggenrolla, Male) [THIS GUY NEARLY SWEPT THAT PIECE OF SHIT NORMAL GYM ALL BY HIMSELF]
Blitzle (Lv. 14, Female)
Kushinada (Lv. 14 Lillipup, Female) [No clue if I'll keep her]
Elsa Maria (Lv. 15 Munna, female)
Leer (Lv. 16 Pansear, Male)
Oh, wow.
You're at the same place I'm at.
Fuck you all ruining my slow run, spoiling everything. Now I have to speed up. Again, intercourse you.
Day 2. I was up at 2 AM hatching eggs from Bluaki, so my team is better than all of yours. Also, one of the things in the eggs was an Oshawott that already knew Surf. Guess what? Don't need a badge. So I surfed around, caught a Blue-stripe Basculin in a special water spot (Red Stripe is the common one in my game). I like Red better, but yeah. Have one badge, gonna do the second in a minute. Also caught a Blitzle, finally. And what the intercourse , only 8 PC boxes?? BLU, PLEASE TELL ME I CAN GET MORE ;_; Maybe after National dex? Also, Snivy and Oshawott both evolved. And don't say I'm cheating with 2 starters on my team. Ash carries around all three.
In party:
Blitzle ♂ Lv 8
Solosis ♀ Lv 12
Litwick ♀ Lv 14
Kratos (Roggenrola) ♂ Lv 13 [Caught this guy for the second gym. Not sure how much I'll use him after that]
Dewott ♂ Lv 17
Archontas (Servine) ♂ Lv 21 [Level so high because it's how i dealt with all those darn Tympoles :| ]
In PC:
Tepig ♂ Lv 1
Mizaru (Panpour) ♂ Lv 14
Pansear ♂ Lv 1
Pansage Lv 1
Basculin [Blue-Stripe] ♂ Lv 16
Tried to get a fighting type outside Pinwheel Forest, but after 10 straight Tympoles, I gave up.
Man "Work Up" is such a powerful TM.
My Herdier and Timburr are tearing things apart.
Although my Timburr is much more suited for Bulk Up. I'm not even sure what level it learns it at.
Now: Level 18 Herdiers that know Take Down are the bane of my training.
Earlier: Today, I found one of those karate guys, got him down to the red, put him to sleep, used all of Great Balls, Heal Balls, and Ultra Ball, and nothing caught him. FML
Was it Sawk (the blue one) or Throh (the red one)?

Throh.
Also cool I just found that green leaf monkey in the wild
Quote from: SkyMyl on March 07, 2011, 04:52:11 PM
Throh.
It took me 3 Pokeballs to catch it.
No status included.
Just caught an Emolga. I didn't know they were here. Apparently they're rare. Awesome. *looks at stats and moveset* I think I'll stick with Zebstrika for my electric type thanks.
Actually, doing an IV and EV check the Emolga is better. They learn essentially the same moves, and Emolga has great speed and Special Attack, at least this one does. Sure, Zebstrika has better attack, but I don't need my electric type to do that sort of thing. Not to mention it's part flying so fighting types won't take advantage of it's poor defense. Ok, I'll start training Emolga for a bit. :P
I've made it all the way to Nimbasa City. Party so far: Lv. 24 Servine, Lv. 23 Woobat, Lv. 23 Throh (This guy right here can pack a serious punch), Lv. 20 Panpour, Lv. 16 Darumaka, and Lv. 15 Sandile. I like this team, so I'll probably stick with it until the end of the game, unless something better comes up.
I'm in the sand-storm area.
Got me a Pignite, Herdier, Patrat, Tranquill, Simisage, and Cottonee (too lazy to switch out the patrat/cottonee).
Like it so far. Where the intercourse is my eagle?

Sawk would tear Throh apart.
I reached the 5th gym, but I've headed back to the Relic Castle or whatever since I just skipped it on my way through the desert.
Current team is, not counting evolved forms that I've yet to reach, now what I had originally planned it to be, meaning I'm more or less set for the game. However, I may end up trading this for that, depending on how things go later on. Anyway, my current team is:
Victini
Dewott
Bouldore
Lilligant (75 power Giga Drain is NICE)
Zebstrika
Zorua
Since I know I'll be wanting a flyer eventually, I may trade out Bouldore for Archeops when I get there. Speaking of which: at what point in the game can I revive fossils?
Final update for me on the home page. :P
Currently at: Route 5
Current team thus far:
Sayaka: Lvl 28 [won't evolve for sometime]
Kushinada (Herdier): Lvl 27 [took down the entire Electric gym by herself, save the last hit on Elesa's Blitzle evo I forgot the name of, which was Sayaka's doing]
Thardus: Lvl 26 [won't evolve for some time]
Leer: Lvl 24 [won't evolve for some time]
Misaka (Blitzle with a name that doubles as another reference): Lvl 23
Removed Elsa Maria for being pretty weak, and am currently searching for a good 6th addition to the team.

From what I've heard it's pretty short compared to the others.
It is rather short, and I only had to stop to level grind a bit three times. Unlike Sinnoh, Unova seems to go the "fewer but harder trainers" route so you get more exp and level up faster. Not to mention the Elite 4 are very easy in this game. I think they wanted to make sure you had to beat the game the first time before seeing the other half of Unova, but made it easier so people can explore more on their own later.
[spoiler]Spoiler, beating the game doesn't put you in the Hall of Fame. You don't beat the champion. So you have to beat a MUCH tougher E4 and champion later to do that. :P[/spoiler]
Also, nice To Aru Kagaku no Railgun reference there MYL with Misaka.
Just got the 6th badge. I'd be done by now if my teachers would stop giving me so much homework. :(
Finally made it across the "Brooklyn Bridge", and I must say it was a very nice view in its in-game 3D display.
Quote from: Nayrman on March 10, 2011, 08:19:27 AMAlso, nice To Aru Kagaku no Railgun reference there MYL with Misaka.
I knew it. I just knew it had something to do with that anime, but i never got the chance to say it.
Beat the Elite Four. Now I'm trying to figure out where the heck I go to train. Everything's 15 levels higher than my team in the new section.
Why are the Gym Leaders so easy?
I expected them to be more of a challenge compared to most normal trainers.
Alright, still doing my slow run. And working on 7 projects simultaneously for school hasn't been giving me much time.
Current progress: (I KNOW I'M NOT FAR STFU)
[spoiler]Finished up in Castelia city and the Desert. Got everything I wanted out of there... that's Scraggy (though I hate the name), Sigilyph, Dwebble, and Death-mask. Sigilyph was a ninny to find, but this thing is intercourse in' amazing. Just entered Nimbasa City.. loving this upbeat music here, might be my favorite town music so far. Battled N again, who proved how awesome Sigilyph is when it killed half my team before I put on my serious face and used my Death-mask to take it out. Haven't gotten around to the gym here yet. Decided to head into the next route briefly to check out the new Pokémon. Already Purrloin's evolved form, what? Maybe I'll grab one of those. They're fast, but I'm not keeping it longer than a gym or two. I did catch me a Trubbish. Don't see how it would fit on my team, but I like the little smelly thing. Searchin' for a Gothita.
And as far as my current team/PC goes, not showing my entire PC. Just the things that I still rotate with my team. Haven't narrowed it down to 6 yet, so half the reason I'm going so slow is because I'l trying to equally train over 10 Pokemon the best I can. Actually, upon count, I have 12. God darn this is hard.
Current team: (these are the Pokemon I plan to have in my party for the gym battle)
Blitzle ♂ Lv20 (Needs some serious grinding- I took him out to avoid all the ground-types in the desert, so he's behind.)
Kratos (Roggenrola) ♂ Lv21. KRATOS, GOD OF STRENGTH. This little guy's close to evolution. Too bad I despise Boldore. I'll borrow my sister's DS and game to do a trade, and end up with an awesome Gigalith. At level 25. Problem, late evos?
Thanatos (Yamask) ♂ Lv22. I love making this guy use Will-O-Wisp, followed by Hex. Epic damage. Didn't plan on having a Cofagrigus on my team, but I might have to. I need something with solid defenses, but I already have a ghost type that I'm NOT replacing (Chandelure) so I might not.
Karkinos (Dwebble) ♀ Lv22. Name fits in with my whole Greek Mythology theme- Karkinos was a giant crab who was said to have become the constellation Cancer. This little crab won't be on my team long, but I taught it Dig to use in this Electric gym.
Zuruzukin (Scraggy) ♂ Lv24. Named it the japanese name of its evolution, so I don't have to change it when it evolves. Definitely staying on my team. I use Work Up once, then sweep, taking full advantage of Moxie. Also, cool typing.
Archontas (Servine) ♂ Lv25. Still my starter, plus he resists Electric nicely, and stuff.
In PC:
Sigilyph ♀ Lv21.This thing is a beast. Can't see how it has a gender, but whatever.
Dewott ♂ Lv26.TOO STRONG. I had to use it to kill all those Sandiles and Darumakkas in the desert.
Litwick ♀ Lv22.Can't believe it won't evolve until Lv41. GOTTA KEEP PUSHIN'
Pignite ♂ Lv20.Actually, my team's already got a Fire and a fighting. Don't think I'll be using this from here on out. I dunno.
Solosis ♀ Lv20.Hidden Power Dragon is cool. But blob needs more moves now.
Trubbish ♂ Lv19.It's so ugly it's almost cute.
I just realized, everything nicknamed is in my party right now. And everything else isn't, except Blitzle. Huh.
[/spoiler]
Currently at: just beat Gym 5. Or rather, COMPLETELY SWEPT IT WITH AN OSHAWOTT AND HERDIER.
Current team:
Sayaka: Lvl. 31
Misaka: Lvl. 26 [amount of people to get the reference: 2]
Thardus: Lvl. 27
Leer: Lvl. 27
Kushinada: Lvl. 30
Fenghuang (Archen): Lvl. 26 [temporary]
So I discovered that Water/Ground is something I don't have a counter to, and three members of my team can't deal with water and ground. Caught one of those ice cream cone Pokemon, and am considering having an Ice-type for that Dragon gym at the end. Is the snow cone a good Ice-type?

I expected them to be more of a challenge compared to most normal trainers.
Captain Obvious moment: Depends on how well your team is structured.
And how much grinding you're willing to do beforehand.
Right now I'm in the ruins area of the desert.
My team isn't really that strong:
Palpatoad Lvl. 28
Drilbur Lvl. 26
Woobat Lvl. 22
Herdier Lvl. 25
Dewoot Lvl. 21 (I honestly can't wait to ditch this thing after I beat the game. I wanted Tepig but my brother already chose it)
Gurdurr Lvl. 28 (My most prized and fav pokemon this Gen. I plan to evolve it once it learns Bulk Up and Hammer Arm)
The funny thing about this is that I used my Palpitoad the entire 3rd Gym and it swept every opponent, and it was Lvl. 25 at the time.
Which is sad considering the fact that they all used Bug and Grass types, and since my Palpitoad is Water/Ground I was expecting it to get raped fast.
But that didn't happen, lol.
I haven't explored the new area just yet. I want to transfer over my lvl 100 Eeveelution team to explore, so I don't have to worry about crap. I can always train later with the Lucky egg, but I look forward to exploring half a region with my Eevee's.
If to talk to Cheren you can battle him daily at the top of Victory Road. His pokemon are early level 60's. Yeah, kind of high but doable if you want some really good experience. Also, Black City FTW. You re-fight people there daily as well.
And Gym Leaders are ALWAYS easy as long as you have a well structured team. *shrugs* I was skimming a guide in store and they recommend being overleveled for each of them. *laughs* You can be five to ten levels under and still do fine as long as you're smart and balance in the right way.

Man, that sucks.

The trainers in White Forest better be re-fight-able, or I'll use Outrage on my DS.

Fuck yeah Cheren and Black City, that's seriously all the re-battling I'll ever need.
Also, just reached Driftveil (5th gym) city. Music here is intercourse in' AWESOME.
I wasn't too impressed with the music from the first few towns. But I loved the music from the last two towns I visited, Nimbasa and Driftveil. Also the bike music, for once, isn't hideously annoying. Here's how I felt about the bike music:
R/B: It wasn't too bad.
G/S: It was okay.
R/S: Fucking terrible. So bad it made me only get on a bike when I was right in between routes and the music would reset quickly.
D/P: Hated this one too.
HGSS: Only bringing it up because I liked it here more than G/S
B/W: I can stand this, no problem.

And you don't have to pay for the items. I think you just like, find them.
Black city has some tough trainers and some not so tough ones. And my word that's a massive difficulty spike after you beat the E4 and start on the other half of Unova. :o

I found 2, but ended up accidentally killing them off.
So until I find it again I won't be moving on yet.

They annoyed the intercourse out of me. They're really not hard to find at all. Try at attack like Night Shade to safely weaken something. I used a Yamask for that.
I'm at the Elite 4... and now I'm grinding.
I somehow completely breezed through the last three gyms, but now these Elites are proving fairly challenging. I'll take them on for real once I'm at least their level (each one has three 48s and a 50, so I'll train to 50).

Blitzle is a mixed sweeper, which is the reason why it can't take consecutive hits.
What makes it so unique are the 3 abilities it possesses that raise 3 different stats.
-Lightningrod grants immunity to Electric-Type moves and raises the Sp. Atk stat one stage.
-Motor Drive grants immunity to Electric-Type moves and raises the Speed stat one stage.
-Sap Sipper grants immunity to Grass-Type moves and raises the Attack stat one stage.
With offensive base stats of 100/80/116 in its evolved form (Zebstrika), it can prove to be a pretty decent mixed sweeper.
Don't let its low bulk fool you, lol.
I need to see how Zebstrika does with those crazy moves like Wild Charge and Thrash. Thing is so fast, especially with its Speed boosting at every turn (Motor Drive and Flame Charge YEAH)
With proper setup I'm sure this will become a beast in WiFi.
I finally evolved my Woobat into a Swoobat.
It looks and sounds so awesome.
At the 8th gym town now. Got through a lot that I won't bother to type out, but here's my team. That I'm most likely sticking with for the E4. Poor Servine couldn't fit in. But I did some massive level grinding before the 7th gym to get some of the evolutions around level 40 (4/6 of my team evolves at either 39 or 41)
SO HERE'S MY TEAM RATEITLOL
Samurott Lv. 40 - My pseudo-starter. Going to be a mixed attacker. Can't decide whether to go back and teach it Megahorn, but I doubt I'll need it.
Lampent Lv. 41 - Well, this will be a Chandelure. Was going to wait for Shadow Ball, but I found the TM for it anyway. I have a Dusk Stone, sobrbevolving. Also, hard-hitting Special Attacker and Burn-status inducer.
Eelektrik Lv. 39 - The no weaknesses thing intrigued me. Evolving it when it learns Wild Charge by level, or when I find the TM. Whichever comes first. I know where the TM is though. This... don't know the role, but I'm planning on mostly Physical moves. And maybe Thunder Wave.
Escavalier Lv. 38 - This bug-knight thing. Oh god why do I love it so much. This thing's really fun to use. Physical attacker.
Scrafty Lv. 40 - Fell in love with this with its tough-as-stone defenses, strong attacks (high jump kick 130 power yeah) and ability. Yet another physical attacker, but a bulkier one.
Reuniclus Lv. 41 - Picked this as my Psychic-type that I always include in my teams. Bulky and hard hitting enough, plus Hidden Power Dragon will help in this final gym.
My Samurott has gotten tons of use out of Megahorn, both defending itself from Grass types and battling the Elite 4 (Darks and Psychics). Of course, you have Escavelier, so I don't know if Darks and Psychics are really an issue, and as for anti-Grass, a mixed-attacker Samurott could just go with Blizzard/Ice Beam instead (mine went for quite a while with Blizzard, and many good things happened).

Escavalier was the main reason I didn't think it was worth it. Also yes, it is running Ice Beam. Its current set is Surf/Ice Beam/Aqua Jet/Revenge. Seems a little lacking to me now, but its use is to use Water and Ice attacks. I don't think it needs anything else super-fancy because everything else on my team can cover it.
I do want to put some grass attack somewhere, since I had to take Servine off my team. I'm gonna go with Grass Knot, but I don't know where to put it. Samurott and Eelektross can learn it, and it would probably go on one of those two. Samurott doesn't exactly have the space, since I like Aqua Jet on there (gets tons of use), but I could drop Revenge. Pretty much ruins the Mixed idea if Aqua Jet is the only physical attack, though.
And Eelektross can deal with waters fine already, but Grounds are a problem. I'd like to be able to switch into them (levitate ftw) but right now it's a freshly evolved Eelektrik who can only use Electric attacks and Crunch. Actually, I thought of a new set for it. Gonna try Wild Charge/Crunch/Rock Slide/Grass Knot. That would actually make a solid sort of mixed attacker. Its Special Attack actually isn't half bad at base 105, so it could work.
Ha, finally found a perfect use for Eelektross. Its movepool is deeper than I thought. It's got Dragon Claw, Flamethrower, Acrobatics (i can see some disposable item+acrobatics set working), U-turn, and the like. Huh, this floating electric lamprey has plenty of potential. Awesome.
My team is the same level and I haven't even hit the 7th gyms town yet XD

And also
[spoiler]The Elite Four pokemon are all around level 50, so there's no reason to train Deino to evolve at all until afterwards[/spoiler]
It's just not worth it.
I finally have everyone that I want on my team. (I like to have coolness along with the ability to have every HM useable in my party, I also like having a full party)
Emboar (Pokéball)
Krookodile (Dusk Ball)
Reuniclus (Heal Ball) [currently a Duosion]
Swanna (Premier Ball)
Galvantula (Quick Ball)
Jellicent ♂ (Dive Ball) [currently a Frillish]
I nicknamed them all, all fairly odd nicknames but I like them. I'll say them if I feel like it when I turn my DS back on.
Note: I didn't play for two days, so all this progress was made yesterday, except for Misaka's evolution, which happened days ago.
Sayaka (Dewott): Lvl. 43
Kushinada (Stoutland): Lvl. 37
Thardus (Gigalith): Lvl. 36
Leer (still a Pansear): Lvl. 37
Misaka (Zebstrika): Lvl 37
DPXBlog: Lvl 8 Fly Slave (even though I never use HM slaves)
Just arrived at Icirrus City yesterday from Twist Mountain. Going to finish the gym and move on from there.
Update. Now Tornadus is roaming. If only it would stop going back and forth in those 4 routes I can't reach yet (actually 6 i think) I'd go catch it. BUT NOOOOO
I'm at the 5th Gym. Haven't really been playing much.
Pignition(yeah nickname w/e) Lv31
Whirlipede Lv27
Zorua LV27
Simisage Lv28
Boldore Lv29
Drillbur Lv26
Isn't my final team but I'm happy with it so far. Definitely enjoying this game but been too busy to play it like I have previous Pokemon games.
Just beat 4th Gym Leader and was trying out the Battle Subway.
Current team in this order:
Swoobat Lv.31
Drilbur Lv.26
Palpitoad Lv.32
Dwebble Lv. 31
Conkeldurr Lv.30
Dewott Lv.22
As you can clearly see I have a huge disliking to the water starter.
If only my bro didn't choose Tepig.

I seemed to start that accidentally.
Anyway, I'm currently in that once city with water all over the floor that has wild Pokémon.
CITIES SHOULDN'T HAVE WILD POKéMON UNLESS IN SURFING WATER
Anyway, Current team with levels and nicknames and junk.
Nicknames made up on my own. How I thought of them, I don't really know.
The order is the order I got them in.
Emboar ♂ (40) Xeroah [Poké] Blaze
Krookodile ♂ (40) Kroosko [Dusk] Moxie
Duosion ♀ (39) Emigoo [Heal] Magic Guard
Swanna ♀ (39) Reinett [Premier] Keen Eye
Galvantula ♂ (40) Zarrap [Quick] Unnerve
Frillish ♂ (39) Volyque [Dive] Cursed Body
I got all of their abilities on purpose because they seemed to be the better of the abilities they had.
Currently at: just beat Iris and got the Legend Badge. Wasn't too difficult to take down, surprisingly.
The team so far:
Slogra (Lvl. 43 Male Fraxure) [YES, 6TH MEMBER]
Thardus (Lvl. 42 Gigalith)
Leer (Lvl. 44 Simisear)
Misaka (Lvl. 38 Zebstrika)
Kushinada (Lvl. 41 Stoutland)
SayakaOktavia (Lvl. 45 Samurott that knows Megahorn)
If you get the Slogra reference AND the Sayaka/Oktavia reference, you're awesome.
What level does it learn Megahorn?
Beat the storyline as of yesterday.
Level 60 Emboar carried my team.
Final Team was:
Emboar
Tirtouga
Zebstrika
Simisage
Rufflet
Krokorok
[spoiler]Switch Tirtouga with Zekrom when I was asked.[/spoiler]
Way too lazy to do Eastern Unova stuff.

[spoiler]You can switch something with Reshiram/Zekrom after you catch it? Awesome, I forgot[/spoiler]
Just beat the game, along with (transparent text spoilers) N's epic final battle and Ghetsis's ridiculous Dark/Dragon Hydra of rapitude.
The complete team:
Slogra (Male Haxorus)
Level 51
Held item: Dragontooth
Dragon Dance
Brick Break
Aerial Ace
Dragon Claw
Kushinada (Female Stoutland)
Level 44
Held item: Macho Brace
Retaliate
Reversal
Take Down
Crunch
Thardus (Male Gigalith)
Level 45
Held item: Quick Claw
Smack Down
Stone Edge
Rock Slide
Leer (Male Simisear)
Level 49
Held item: Sharp Beak
Acrobatics
Fire Blast
Crunch
Flame Burst
Oktavia (Female Samurott)
Level 51
Held item: Mystic Water
Hydro Pump
Megahorn
Surf
Aqua Tail
Misaka (Female Zebstrika)
Level 39
Held item: Shell Bell
Spark
Thunder Wave
Stomp
Flame Charge
[spoiler]Yeah, I swapped her out for Zekrom when I was given the chance, if only so I could "FULFILL THE PROPHECY". I used him as a sponge to absorb damage, since Ghestis RAPED MY ENTIRE TEAM WITH HIS HYDREIGON. Used Max Revives all over the place, Moomoo Milks, Lemonades, Hyper Potions, until the thing ran out of PP for Dragon Pulse.
I'm getting a good Ice-type now that I'm in meta-game.[/spoiler]
That monster (is in NO way a Pokemon) was meant to kill everything in its sight. It makes Garchomp look like a sissy!
I think people are over-hyping a bit too much on Haxorus.
Beat the Elite 4.
Spoiler for post-E4 events
[spoiler]Teleported out of the castle to go and get a Synchronizer so i can manipulate Reshiram's nature. Didn't know you could do that. Amazing. Anyway, off to scan Celestial Tower for Elgyems, since they're probably the most common Synchronizers in the game. Then I'll fight with Reshiram.[/spoiler]
Current team, with attacks and items. This is what I used for the E4.
Escavalier ♂ Lv 47
Item: Poison Barb (since I had nothing else fitting for it)
Iron Defense
X-Scissor
Poison Jab
Iron Head
Notes: Escavalier got MASSIVE use in the E4, due to the abundance of pokemon there weak to X-Scissor. Entered at level 43, came out at level 47.
Reuniclus ♀ Lv 43
Item: Dragon Fang
Psychic
Reflect
Hidden Power Dragon
Recover
Notes: She didn't get much use in the E4, since two of them had types strong against Psychic. And I ended up not using her much in the Fighting one. But this was useful in-game, especially the 8th gym. That's why the Dragon Fang is there, for Hidden power.
Eelektross ♂ Lv 45
Item: Brightpowder
Crunch
Grass Knot
Wild Charge
Rock Slide
Notes: Oh, this silly "floating" lamprey of electricity.
Scrafty ♂ Lv 46
Item: Expert Belt
Work Up
Crunch
Brick Break
Hi Jump Kick
Notes: Not as much variety in the moveset as I'd planned originally, but Scrafty proved to be very effective. Dat Moxie.
Chandelure ♀ Lv 46
Item: Spell Tag
Flame Burst
Will-O-Wisp
Shadow Ball
Confuse Ray
Notes: Love this thing. That's all that needs to be said. Its Special attack is just amazing.
Samurott ♂ Lv 46
Item: Scope Lens
Surf
Ice Beam
Aqua Jet
Revenge
Notes: Not actually my starter. That is still a level 26 Servine. Samurott proved more useful than any grass-type.
So yeah. E4 was easy, even with slightly underleveled Pokemon.

Since I restarted my file, I reached the league for the second time, ready to take on the champion. I have a Zekrom from my first file. My team is all lvl. 50 (plus with a lvl. 52 Lucario).

Garchomp has a bit higher Speed, but Haxorus has higher Attack.
Maybe it will become some sort of OU Garchomp? I can see it being a top OU threat. It's actually a Dragon that's not 4x weak to Ice. So MAYBE, just maybe, it can survive an Ice attack here and there.
And now, I have finished the Story Mode.
I'm gonna transfer over some of my EV-trained Pokemon from SoulSilver now to complete the remaining areas and such. Just gotta make sure they have all the old TM moves I need that I won't be able to teach them this gen >_>

Maybe on the anime. In games, however, the term "legendary" basically means nothing; there are normal pokemon like Gyarados and Snorlax that are leaps and bounds better than legendaries like Entei and Regigigas.

Not EVERYTHING after gen 3 had bad designs. Just a large chunk of it.
For the sake of relevancy, my semi-metagame team:
Misaka (Lvl 43 Zebstrika)
Leer (Lvl 52 Simisear)
Oktavia (Lvl 55 Samurott)
Thardus (Lvl 50 Gigalith)
Slogra (Lvl 55 Haxorus)
Flaahgra (Lvl 50 Venusaur)
I feel like a nerd naming two guys after Metroid Prime bosses and another after a semi-obscure Castlevania boss/enemy.
1st gen: Nostalgia factor dominates all, but some things are still just generic animals (Hi Krabby) but some solid awesome things you can't beat. Gotta love Starmie~
2nd gen: Things start getting a bit interesting, but there are still things I don't like (Sunflora is just ehh) but we got a bunch of cool additions (Crobat was cool, and Scizor, and Heracross, and Gligar, etc)
3rd gen: A bunch of these are cool, fitting with the more "Tropical" climate. Things definitely start getting interesting. Different from the classics, and that's why people hate them so much, sadly.
4th gen: What the intercourse were they doing? Seriously, all gens have fillers in them, but this has more filler than actual good things. What good things? Okay, I liked Drifloon, and a few others. But definitely my least favorite gen.
5th gen: As far from classic as possible it seems. Many early-game things (Ew Watchog) are just blech, but there are some really unique things later. Like Scrafty, Chandelure, Oobemu, Hydreigon, etc. Again, people who liked the style of the first two gens wouldn't like these, but I'm open to trying new things. And I was fine with this.

Some were supposed to. But with them cranking out 156 new pokemon, you have to expect some ideas to be re-used.
Gen I had 151.
Gen II had 100.
Gen III had 135.
Gen IV had 107.
Gen V had 156.
Gen V had the most, even surpassing Gen I. So they borrowed, or perhaps "resurrected" some old ideas from Generation I. You really can't blame them. I'd say there are way more good pokemon in V then IV. But again, no one liked IV. HG/SS was the only memorable thing about that generation, in my opinion. But I digress.
Yeah, 156 new pokemon without using any old ideas? And they weren't going to include old pokemon in the regional dex? Impossible, so obviously a few copies had to be made. Think of them as "replacements" for Geodude, Zubat, etc. Plus, type differences. The generic Rock-type doesn't get OHKO'd by a puny Water Gun anymore (not being Ground type as well, plus there's also the new Sturdy but that's besides the point) and the generic bat is a Psychic type. The generic Normal types in the beginning? Every generation has them. After Rattata, they added Sentret, Zigzagoon, Bidoof, and now Lillipup. I don't see why people hate Gen V so much for the negatives that are present in ALL generations. But that's just me.

Actually, I really like this gen. Even more than III. The names are completely crap, but they're much more memorable.

We're looking at Gen I's names through nostalgia glasses. If pokemon came out in this gen instead of the first, that were named things like Krabby, Slowpoke, Cloyster, Haunter, etc. a lot of people would hate them.
Except we grew up with them. Fuck, I knew about the pokemon Electrode before I even knew what a real electrode was. Oh, the memories of innocent youth...

Moor of Iccirus, or whatever the place is called. Tons of them there.
Just beat Elite 4 a second time. Shit was HARD. Needed Kyurem, Zekrom, and Volcarona to do it and needed to use multiple tms to swap in moves.
Current team is slightly different than my old one I posted:

Axew Lvl 33
Scolipede Lvl 34
Zoroark Lvl 34
Tynamo Lvl 35

You have to use the Entralink feature, or am I wrong?

Yes, but the Entralink works fine when playing with others (I've done it with my friends several times). We just can't use online stuff like Dreamworld yet.
If you can find someone in real life who has a different version than you, then it shouldn't be a problem to restock your Forest/City.

Want to explain briefly how/where to access Entralink and how much progress you need to make in the game to use it?
I know nothing about that feature. Nothing at all, honestly.

Hint: Outside of the menu and a battle, look at your touch screen and twinkle with it.
I'll intercourse around with Entralink when I can get someone else in the room playing B/W. Maybe my sister.
Entralink is awesome. Me and my girlfriend finally figured it out tonight.
When someone does a mission for you, you or they get a bonus in the game, such as "Bargain" or "EXP Plus". Bargain cuts all store prices in half for 30 minutes, EXP Plus boosts EXP for half an hour, etc.
Since I have a poop ton of money, I got her to get me the bargain one, and I bought every single TM. Booya.
Also: Caught Cobalion and Virizion. Used my masterball on Thunderus. On my way to Terrakion.
Gonna grind my current team/explore with my new HM (Dive) until I'm ready for the big three post-game challenges. Hopefully, I won't need to change my team at all.

But yeah, with my Gen IV team I'm trying to get enough Battle Subway points to get back all my power items and choice items and stuff. Haven't battled Morimoto yet (I forgot) but I think I will.
@MYL:
[spoiler]Also, can't you only battle Cynthia in Spring and Summer? Unless you're talking about the one time you battle her when you first meet her. Yeah, I ended up losing the first time because I only had one pokemon (at level 50) with me, and i accidentally accepted her challenge. Then I went back with a full team and kicked her ass.
Also beat E4 2/0 today. With pokemon level 64-66. Still easy.[/spoiler]
Morimoto: Small time.

I'm doing this entire game, for the first time in the history of pokemon, without a walkthrough of any kind.
I've always bought the guides before, but this time, I'm doing my best to do it on my own. So far, so good.
I have never ever used a guide before on Pokémon. I had one for Gold/Silver back in the day, but I still never used it. My sister might have used it but I never did. I also always beat the game's plot, beat the champion multiple times, and go to every possible area. Ever since touch screen item finders, I believe I've gotten EVERY single item that you can pick up (buy is a different story, or earn from doing other things).
And this is the first gen where I actually used repels. Wasn't until very late int he game but still.
Also, I didn't rush through as much as usual.
I've never used a guide before myself, but I still think it's nice to have them around.
Learn to translate cuneiform and you can do Undella's ruins without a guide.
That reminds me of the times I struggled a little bit trying to find out how to get the Regi trio from Ruby/Sapphire.
Good times.
Finally beat the league with the rematch.

White version.
Finally got the game yesterday (Black version), and played it for a little bit at around 1 AM. I'm not hardcore like you guys and I'm not a Pokemon know-it-all. So what you'll see in my log is a girl's newb perspective on how to play Pokemon.
KAY's Journey - #1
I started the game and named myself KAY. Chose Oshawott as my starter and battled against Bianca and Cheren. Lost against Bianco and her Tepig (darn critical hits), but won against Cheren's Snivy. I thought it really represented our dynamic friendship, though, so I was okay with how the battles turned out.
In Route 1 I caught Patrat and Lillipup. Kept Lillipup because he's OMGCUTE and a lot better than my Oshawott. Trained those two for a while (got them both to level 10), then caught up with my friends. Healed at the center, bought around 20 poke balls, then beat N quickly with Lillipup. I loved how it was cat vs. dog. Then I visited every house and talked to every person in the town.
Caught a Purrloin in the next route, but decided I didn't want a cat and a dog in my party (also N has a Purrloin, and I wanted our teams to be different - you know, the whole "cat vs. dog" thing again). Also, I found what Team Plasma had to say very interesting, as I've always wondered what Pokemon get out of the deal with humans. It seems to me we use them for labor and our entertainment (sure they get "love" in return, but that's not everyone, and do they really need that from us?). Still, I'll go with the game and defeat the apparent villains.
I battled Bianca and Cheren again in the next town with the Gym. This time I easily beat both of them. Trained my two Pokemon to level 12, visited every house and talked to every single person in the town, then saved because I was tired and wanted to sleep. As a sidenote, Lillipup's Pick Up ability is awesome. I got two ultra balls from him before I even entered the first town.

I thought Smogon was keeping everything in one tier for the time being for testing. Has Salamence been confirmed to remain in Ubers yet? I would imagine it still would be, since nothing new really poses enough of a threat to it to keep it balanced in OU.
Generally, I think some kind of "once an Uber, always an Uber" rule is in play. Since the Ubers tier works differently than other tiers: it's a ban list. Things jump from UU to OU and back all the time, but something that's been banned would seldom be unbanned in a case like this.
But who knows?
Salamence has been bouncing back and forth between Ubers and OU for quite some time now, and its place in the Uber tier relies almost solely on Rayquaza's effectiveness in that tier to begin with. As long as that strategy hasn't been nerfed by some new 5th gen mechanic or countered/outclassed by a new strategy its safe to say that Salamence well remain an Uber.
Arguably, now that Salamence has access to Moxie he'll be even more of a mother intercourse er than he already is when paired with Rayquaza. It also learns Dragon Tail by level up, when most other pokemon that learn it has to learn it through breeding. Not sure if you guys have heard of this move yet but its basically a Whirlwind/Roar that does damage. This move will probably give Dragon Dance Salamence even MORE utility.
Fuck

Dragon Tail is a TM.
You're right, lol.
My bad
Also, I have a feeling that many pokemon will be banned with their Dream World abilities only. Example, Chandelure with Shadow Tag will be banned while Chandelure with its other abilities may stay in OU.
They already banned one DW ability completely, Inconsistent. At the end of every turn, it lowers one stat by one stage and raises one by two. Why was it banned? Tendency to raise Evasion. But yeah, for other reasons some new abilities might be restricted to Ubers on certain Pokemon.

Except it's reduced priority and 90% accuracy and Haxorus's Special Defense isn't so great. How'd you make it work?
Well, since I practically did everything story-related and stuff, it's time to move on to the main thing.
CATCH EM ALL.
...But since I want to experience the Dream World and the C-Gear, I want to fully enjoy this game to the fullest. But then you take into account our Dream World is getting delayed...

That's good enough then. I personally wouldn't use Dragon Tail on Haxorus. That strategy seems much more useful.
I should breed that next. I was lucky enough to find me a Jolly Axew in the story mode run, so I can get natures easily.
I lost to the Subway Bosses at Multi Train. Stupid Hilbert killed my last Pokemon with Earthquake... :(

Octillery, Bidoof, Snorunt and Smeargle are the only ones that have it though.
And they're all weak. (With the exception of Baton Passing Smeargle)
Plus there are a few stat remoal moves that never miss. (Haze, Clear Smog, etc.)
So I see no reason for it to be banished on the others.
Also, Salamence better not be banned this Gen. >:(

The ability itself was banned. It doesn't matter what Pokemon have it.
You're not even allowed to use a Butterfree with Double Team. Butterfree's weak, but Double Team's banned. It's the same principle.
Also, instead of whining if Salamence remains in Ubers (or should I say "when") you can train an Ubers team and battle competitively with Ubers. It's a much harsher battlefield, and watch out for the weather.

Ubers is not an option for me since I never ever use Legendaries nor Garchomp.
But it would be nice if he got bumped to high OU, so that I can try out my new tricks.

There's no such thing as high OU. OU is OU. It's one tier.
BL is almost like a "low OU" but there is no high.
Beat the Elite Four yet again with my average team of mediocrity. Surprisingly, the champ was easier than the four fights before him, even though AFROBULL began one-shotting everyone with AFRO CRASH.

With bulky 95/95/95 defenses and 110 base attack along with the "Reckless/Herbivore" ability, it can be a pretty potent physical sweeper with a Scarf/TR set.

I'll make something that must be seen.
A team full of Mew expies.
Then THREE WAILORDS FOR TRIPLE BATTLES.

An entire team of AFROBULLS.
Afro Crash spam.

Possibly.
I've just been hearing the term "High OU" there by a lot of people.
Anyways I'm going to be testing a MixedMence soon although I'm not sure what stat should be beneficial and hindered.

Doesn't matter, you work around it. Ice(Ice Beam, primarily) is your only major threat, this move is heavily used in competitive pokemon but not so much in-game, so in-game you really
can sweep just by using Dragon Tail and DD. I've gotten through the battle subway in no time at all by doing this.

Apparently, it's a method where you breed a Pokemon with an international Pokemon to increase the rate you get a shiny Pokemon. And the method is supposedly true.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I got a shiny Aerodactyl through breeding.
If you don't believe me, here it is. The International Marriage Masuda Method.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Masuda_method (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Masuda_method)
Is Bulbapedia really that reliable compared to Serebii?
I mean it is after all a wiki. Something which can be edited by anyone with inaccurate info.
Er... Well, it says that Smogon found this out, so...
Well, then I guess if it's Smogon it's accurate enough to follow.
Never mind, Serebii actually confirms it...and it seems to be better in Gen V.
http://www.serebii.net/games/shiny.shtml (http://www.serebii.net/games/shiny.shtml)
That's awesome.
If both parents are from different regions (i.e. one American and one Japanese) the chance of hatching a shiny is lowered from 1/8192 to 1/2048. Still stupidly hard, but at least it's something.
Too bad shiny Emboar's ugly, IMO. I dislike a lot of the shiny colors, especially when they're too bright. All the light blue on Emboar isn't bad by itself but I don't like how some of the orange is still orange.

It's probably just me, though. Good luck, Rob.

They had to add it just so the game doesn't crash if a shiny form is hacked. Same with Reshiram and Zekrom, even though they're all very subtle changes.
Maybe the 3rd game will be like the past 3rd games, where you can go back and catch Reshiram and Zekrom at Dragonspiral Tower or wherever, and this time they CAN be shiny (Since it's not part of the in-game story, it would be post-E4 like always).
And maybe there will be a shiny event Victini released in the future. Either way, it's the same reason there was a ???-type Arceus that was programmed into DPPtHGSS even though it could not be legitimately obtained. Hell, the same reason they put Missingno. in Red and Blue, to prevent crashes from simple hacking.

Hack?
SkyMyl had his brother, and I had a friend of mine trade over the other roaming legendary.
And MYL, I used Sleep. My gengar has levitate, so all Landorus could do is use sandstorm to slowly peck away at Gengar's health. So I just put it to sleep at low health and used about four or five ultra balls and that was it.

Flare Boost raises Sp. Atk if under the burn status.
It works like Guts, Quick Feet and Marvel Scale, but only activates with the Burn status.
And since Hidden Power is Special based and the only move Unown can have it would have been a decent Hidden Ability.
Drifblim is the only pokemon with the ability though.

I've never experimented with a fully EV tamed Unown, but it does look interesting to play around with.

But yeah, if it was a Fire type in Gen III, it would be Special like ALL fire moves. Likewise, a Steel-typed Hidden Power would match other Steel moves and b
e Physical.

It would have been much easier for it just to coincide with the type, as there was no separate variable to decide whether it was Physical or Special.

Afaik Normal-typing is the only thing Hidden Power cannot become.
But if it did I believe that would have been Physical.

Yes, even though Hidden Power is shown as "Normal type" it can be anything EXCEPT normal.
But Normal was always Physical.

Check the sand castle's inner chamber.
I know where it is, just any suggestions on who should be on the team while you catch it? My friend needs a little help on that, the team she was using was a good team, but it still didnt manage to put a dent in trying to catch it because each one was one hit KOed, and Reshiram was in it too.
I guess any Rock type will do.
So, I am now the champion of Unova. Thank you, Elites, for making half of your members weak to Zoroark.
Alas, I have yet to beat Morimoto or Cynthia (dang freaking cheap Spiritomb with your Double Team spamming), so my training is not yet complete. Then, I will continue to train until all of my team is at my standard level 85 (except maybe that useless Zebstrika), at which point I will finally integrate my old team members to form a real team (and maybe finally get Kayo's Typhlosion over level 64). Right now, I'm training one team member at a time via lucky egg; everyone is 71 except Zoroark, who is 73, and Victini (the one I'm training first), who is 77.
I'm going to do Trade + Lucky Egg when I start up my EV taming.
Everything will be much faster that way.
I can't wait until I finally finish the east side. I'm trying to EV train a few Gen V pokemon to use first. So far I have Hydreigon and Golurk, and I'm going to TRY and get Galvantula and Escavalier too. I don't know what else. Suggestions?
And I'm actually saving Chandelure for later.. I want mine to be PERFECT and I'm not wasting time now for absolute perfection, considering it took me 2-3 days to get my perfect Deino.

I don't remember who said this, or if it was even in this thread, but that Eel guy with Levitate makes sense, especially in that cave.
I mean, Gengar is clearly standing on the ground, yet has levitate. And these Eel things could easily use magnetic or electrical energy from the cave they're in to levitate off the ground, possibly create such energy themselves.

I think the explanation for Gengar is this:
It was made before abilities. So they didn't think to show it floating.
When abilities came out, GF figures it would be unfair for a Trade evo to result in the removal of a great ability.
Also, Gengar has been shown levitating in the anime.

This guy's pre-evos are also clearly levitating, and were probably born levitating in a cave with electrical floating rocks. So "OSHI A GROUND MOVE, ELECTRICAL LEVITATION, ACTIVATE"

One of the many reasons I try to stay away from GTS.
Asking for stuff like Lvl 100 Magikarp/Feebas or Lvl 1 Mew/Celebi, etc.
I tried out the GTS the other day.
90% of all trades, no matter that they are, are asking for a Level 9 and under Zekrom.
I'm not even kidding.
Nintendo should put a filter so you're not allowed to ask for something at an illegal level like that. I'm pretty sure they can, as it's on the network rather than the cartridge.

People seem to only do that to annoy the ones interested in the offer.
They either do it for pokemon they know you can't find in-game or pokemon you'll have a difficult time finding/capturing.
Or just plain do it for the lolz.
But yeah, something like this should have been resolved after Platinum.

Also yay winter tomorrow. It's really pretty in the game <3 Plus, my favorite Sawsbuck form.
Also, progress. I really plan on starting the east half now. I still want to IV breed/EV train some Gen V pokemon to use, and here's what I got so far:
Hydreigon (Done, ready for action. Level 64)
Golurk (Currently a Golett. Ev trained, but it's at level 20-something now, since I haven't trained it after finishing the EVs)
Galvantula (Currently a freshly hatched Joltik)
Scrafty (Still breeding this one)
I need two more.
BOOOOOOO!!!
I still haven't caught a Shelmet.
You gave your Zekrom over for a tepig!? Dude, I could've gotten you one, and the other starter you don't have, as well as some other gen's starters (I just need a Bulbasuar and a Charmander and I have them all). Gah. I want a Zekroarm.

Also, I usually never use the cover legendary when I catch it, but Reshiram's typing appealed to me more than Zekrom's. I don't really care much for either of their appearances.

You must catch it to proceed.
And no you can not check nature until after the game saves itself.

Quote from: Nayrman on March 31, 2011, 04:43:23 PM

If you make it faint it challenges you again. It puts you in front of it as if nothing happened (but any damage done to your pokemon will still be there)
Only if you have 6 pokemon in your party and the max 720 pokemon in your PC will it go to DragonSpiral Tower if you knock it out. But it's not worth it to fill up your box like that.
Oh.... that's kind of dumb then. @_@:;
I caught it on my first try so yeah...
Nothing beats catching Reshy in a Premier ball.
Ultra for me. Didn't have any premier balls at time. :P
I'm aiming to catch my pokemon in nothing but Pokeballs.
Just as I have always done in each gen.
I caught it with an Ultra Ball because it feels like tradition to do so.

Grass, Water, Rock and Steel.
The water horse isn't until later. Just means the three ones we can catch right now. :P

When I'm IV breeding for 31s in more than one stat, I ask him so I find out how many stats I have 31 IVs in. So helpful especially at level 1 when I can only tell one stat otherwise (from the characteristic). Also the general potential, I look for Relatively Superior or Outstanding. If it's one of those two I'll use Rare Candies and a Calculator, but if not I release the Pokemon or trade it on the GTS or something.
Your Scraggy has Outstanding potential!
I'd say it's best potential is in its Attack stat.
Hm! It's Defense is also good.
It's Special Attack is good too.
It's Speed is also good!
They can't be better in that regard! That's how I judged it.
That Scraggy. Oh my god. I love it so much.
Put two Pokemon up on the GTS today for giggles to see what would happen.
1: a random Dunsparce I imported, asking for a Lvl 1-9 Scyther in return. Someone went for it in a day.
2: I pushed the envelope and went as far as I could without asking for a legendary: offered a Cryogonal in exchange for an Espeon. 8 hours later, and I've got a Shiny Lvl 100 Espeon.

Funny GTS moments.
Back in Diamond, I once tried cloning a Mewtwo I had... and it worked, first try! So, then I decided to up the ante; I tried to clone my legitimate American Celebi (lv 70 from the 10th Anniversary), the rarest Pokemon in America at the time due to it only being in that one event. And it was taken, replaced by a fake Celebi!! I panicked a bit, then decided to put it up for trade with a lv 70 Celebi. I kept trading and trading Celebis, until finally, by some miracle, I got another 10th Anniversary one. I immediately took him back to the computer, and I haven't tried cloning since then.
I've heard so much about cloning in pokemon, but have never attempted it since I choose to stay on the safe side.

I actually thought that the cloning process was the same as with the pokemon, but I just now remembered it was different.
I got a legit shiny Beldum on the GTS once. It was so exciting, it was at a low level when I found it. It was asking for something, I don't remember what but probably something like Zapdos. Well I happened to have a few extra GTS Zapdoses so I traded one of them. It was worth it.
<3 my shiny Metagross.
The only shiny I've never obtained in the wild was an Aerodactyl.
I got that from breeding.
I got a lot of shinies compared to most people.
Sneasel and Tangela (Crystal)

"Always" is kind of rough. Considering I don't like to carry more than one "filler" pokemon with me, and that's usually a Flyer. I guess I could try some weird scheme to get a Smeargle that knows Fly, False Swipe, Sleep Powder, and some other move, maybe an HM like Surf. But that takes too much effort for that 1/8192 chance.
I do have some pokemon used solely for catching purposes (Like my Parasect: Spore, False Swipe, Aromatherapy; I seriously recommend this) but I only take them out when I go out catchin'.
Spearow, Fearow, and Farfetch'd can learn Fly and False Swipe.
Quote from: Neerb on April 04, 2011, 09:44:12 AM
Spearow, Fearow, and Farfetch'd can learn Fly and False Swipe.
But no sleep moves or anything. When I have a flyer I like it to have a purpose other than flying.
For example, I usually carry around a Pelipper in Gens III-IV or a Swanna in Gen V, since they can learn both Surf and Fly. Both moves it's always good to have and I don't always have something else with surf.
Or there's my Volcarona with Fly and Flame Body to hatch my eggs faster.
Both are more important to me than always having False Swipe, I'm afraid.

I'd be too afraid of doing that and I wouldn't attack a shiny at all if I found it D:
Quick Ball go.
Well, my primary focus was the EV taming, so I pretty much ignored the fact that it was a shiny.
And it was all by mistake.
Finally got Pokemon White along with Nintendo 3DS. My starter is Snivee. Just beat the 2nd gym leader and caught a few other pokemons along the way. Gonna get Victini next time I play.
What's your current team?

I'll post it later today. Caught Victini just now.
EDIT: I'm back. Just incinerated the 3rd gym leader with Victini.
Anyway here's my team as of right now.
Servine Lv.26
Timburr Lv.22
Victini Lv.20
Herdier Lv.17
Tympole Lv.20
Blitzle Lv.17
Also anyone know how to change the season? Its night time in-game when it should be daytime. I already set up the current time for the 3DS.

Season or time? It's always winter in April, and the sun sets an hour earlier than in spring (it's dark in-game pretty early). If you want a season change, wait until May and it'll be Spring. The seasons change each month.
Man, this sucks.
I have no way to get a Shelmet now, since they're all hibernating.
GTS is open for you.
And people here are willing to trade as well.
Well, I actually need it to be Timid female so that I can breed it for good IVs.

I refuse to step foot into the GTS unless I want a pokemon I know I can't get in my version or in-game.
Also, I need it to be a Timid female, and I doubt anyone is going to spend time trying to get me an egg for that.

I can get you one. :U
Thanks to the little EXP mechanic they introduced (higher EXP if your PKMN's lvl is lower than the opponent's lvl, and lower EXP if your PKMN's lvl is higher than the opponent's lvl), evolving Pokemon that are lower leveled than your party is easier.
Why, with the help of three Exp. Shares, I EVOLVED THREE POKEMON AT ONCE. Now let me get two more Exp. Share to go beyond the impossible and...bingo.

Only if you don't mind.
Let me ask my bro first though.
Well, I already heard a bunch of people here say they've cheated to see all the seasons, so you can manually change the month for 5 minutes to catch one, then the time will be "YOU CAUGHT ME IN THE FUTURE :O !!!" or past if you go backwards, but that's boring.
You can also do that trading thing people keep suggesting then breed it.

I was just thinking the same thing, I just evolved two at once (I only had two low level pokemon in my party)
EXAMPLE TIME
Fighting Cheren's level 65 Gigalith
Staraptor used Brave Bird!
Gigalith endured the wit hit Sturdy!
The recoil takes out the remaining 1/4 of Staraptor's HP
Me: Waitaminute *sees golden opportunity*
Go, Joltik! (Level 29 holding Lucky Egg)
~Joltik is faster than Gigalith~
Joltik used Thunderbolt!
Gigalith fainted!
Joltik gained tons of EXP!
Joltik grew to level 30!
Joltik grew to level 31!
Joltik grew to level 32!
Joltik grew to level 33!
Joltik grew to level 34!
Joltik grew to level 35!
Joltik grew to level 36!
It evolved along with my Scraggy that battle. :3

Does the Everstone mechanism still work on male pokemon, or is it back to female only.

I've got a Venusaur I can breed ya.
If you've got a Squirtle to exchange, that is...
Yes, I can get you a Squirtle no prob. Just let me know when we can do it and FC's, thanks. Just need a charmander then.
Really? Thanks. Thanks to my 3DS I can hop on any time. Anything breedable you want that I happen to have?

I can breed a Zorua for you no problem. Shall we get online in about five minutes or so while I go breed an egg of him? Thanks. I'll send you my FC in that time.

Erm. Ok. Having some problems here. My game has glitched out slightly. Daily events such as Black city trainer, Cheren battle, Big Stadium, etc. are all acting as if I've already done them, despite me just turning the game on. Also, the old guy who gives you money in Black City for beating trainers has been glitched out for a few days now. The number kept going up as far as trainers I've beat, but he would constantly be asking for about 240 trainers beat, even though I was near 300. So essentially I could just ask him and he'd keep giving me free money. Until finally today he jumped from 240 to 300, while I'm at 290. So apparently he just fixed himself for no reason. Everything else seems to be working fine... Rather....peculiar.

What, what guy gives you money for beating the Black City trainers?! I've never seen him before, where is he?
He's in the mart in the back left. He's an old man sitting next to the wall. Every ten trainers you beat he gives you 10,000.
For the past week or so he's been glitched up in my game. I kept beating trainers, but the amount he would ask for never went up, so I could literally just talk to him all I wanted for free money. I'll check all this again tomorrow after the day changes. Hopefully it's just a weird occurrence today.

Oh, that's awesome! I'm probably at at least 30 even though I just really started a few days ago.
Yeah, it's a decent way to make money. I have ten people in my Black City, so I just beat them daily and get 10,000 for free. Between that and Abyssal Ruins I have more money than I could ever need. @_@;;

I haven't yet found a need to have so much cash until I looked in my bag and found no healing items other than Full Restores and some Max Potions.
Yeah I think I have money for a poopton of Moomoo Milks, since they're probably the best deal out there and you can buy 'em 12 at a time.
Yep. But after Abyssal Ruins, you'll never need to grind for money again. I'm just waiting for water horse to be there for download event. I mean, we all know that's where he's gonna be.

I'm not positive it's the 3DS, but I've only had a problem ever with you and MYL, and both of you use a 3DS. So I'm just assuming it's some kind of compatibility issue, though I can't see why.
How'd you two get it to work? We should try that. I mean this makes zero sense. We both can get online, we both can see each other in the lobby, but can't connect. Nintendo, learn to internet!

Eventually we got it so if one of us set it up while the other was disconnected, then the other came back in to find it, it worked every time. But we tried this and it didn't work.
We haven't tried that today.... You leave and I'll set up a trade. If that doesn't work we'll do the opposite and I'll leave and you set up a trade.
Hurray, I can finally prove that Nayrman is wrong about Nintendo. My 3DS and Pokemon White handle internet very good.
It's not so much the internet but moreso we can't get a DS and a 3DS to work together to trade on a DS game! This SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD!

If you haven't seen it, the game treats it like you don't even know it exists, so no.
Is there any way to see it in game? This is getting stupid as all intercourse ....... Seriously Nintendo, it's like you don't want people to interact with each other.
I'm getting a prefect three-bar signal here, I have a direct unobstructed space between me and my router why is this happening
Exact same for me. God I really hate Nintendo sometimes...
Ok. Anyone with a 3DS and a charmander we can trade/trade back so I can just see the darn things so Chandelure and I can GTS this trade? Fuck Nintendo and their horrid internet connections.

They can, I've just had terrible problems trying to connect with anyone using one over Wi-Fi. Maybe it's because the network is so clogged from everyone playing with the new Black and White games, but I've had more difficulty in particular with people using a 3DS.
Okay, Nayr. I want you to catch me that Pokemon whose stuck on an egg shell. If you can catch it, I'll trade you a Charmander (egg or hatched?) for it.
Gimme your FC.
We just need to trade and trade back so Chandelure and I can GTS our trade.
Uh, you REALLY don't want to do that. It's beyond risky to trade through GTS... Oh wait, there's negotiation.

Edit: No, it can't be the 3DS, as me and SkyMyl connected and traded just fine yesterday. It's gotta be something on Nintendo's end.
Or instead of blaming Nintendo, blame your router. I'm honest when I'm saying that my router doesn't really work with online gaming. It's a cheap router. It might have been the cause that we couldn't connect properly.
Or I can blame Nintendo because the Dreamcast had smoother online interactions in 2000 while it's 2011 and Nintendo can't even do the basics right. So yeah... I still blame Nintendo
Was the router different for that Dreamcast?

So that's why.
I've mostly just been screwing around, and wasn't too in a rush to beat the game.
Well after being owned several times by E4, I finally beaten them and then N. Ghetsis appeared and owned my team. It took a while to KO Ghetsis's Hydreign with Serperior being the only high-level pokemon on my team at the time, but I managed to beat Ghetsis and the game. Now I'm exploring the other part of the Unova region and level-grinding my pokemon.

True. But Seismitoad is the fastest of the 4, has 3 awesomely unique abilities, and can RestTalk.
The only plus side on the other 3 is the fact that they can learn Waterfall.
But then again who would use a Water-type move on something immune to it.

Seismitoad can't, even? Ahahahaha.
Also the other three can RestTalk, since they learn the moves in Gen 4 and then there's Pokeshifter, so that point doesn't count.

Yeah, but his ability to learn Grass Knot covers that. 8)
Also, I was mainly talking Gen 5 wise for the movepools.
I'm eager to see what tier Smogon places them in.

My predictions:
Gastrodon: UU
Quagsire: NU
Seismitoad: UU
Swampert: OU
Gastrodon I say UU because its ability Storm Drain gives it an extra immunity now, like it didn't before, and as a result it has something else to switch in on, maybe. Swampert will always stand out in the 4 because well, face it. It has one weakness, to a fairly-rare type. The rest are outclassed.

Quagsire is a definite NU.
Horrible Speed, Sp. Atk and Sp. Def.
But his new Unaware ability might change that.
Grastrodon does sound like it'll be a UU now thanks to Storm Drain's improvement.
I'm not too sure on Swampert and Seismitoad though.
They both sound like they may be BL.
Whiscash is the only one here not worth mentioning.

QuoteI'm not too sure on Swampert and Seismitoad though.

Except Swampert completely outclasses Seismitoad. There's gotta be something making it into OU from the Water/Ground list, and Swampert makes the most sense out of all of them.
QuoteWhiscash is the only one here not worth mentioning.
It's better competitively than Quagsire.
Quote from: FruitFlow on April 14, 2011, 02:27:32 AM
LOL. How so?
"LOL," you say, like some sort of middle school girl who has never even considered the fact that there are other Pokemon that can fare better than Generation II Pokemon.
Whiscash's Base Stat Total is higher. This gives it a higher Special Attack, Special Defense, and HP. Which also means it generally has more bulk. But it can also play an offensive role much better than Quagsire can. It's the only one to learn Dragon Dance, which after one or two boosts (Very possible due to the bulk and only having a single weakness) can make it a very dangerous threat in UU.
Look at Quagsire. No attacking power at all. It has no way to increase its power other than Curse, which takes a few uses before it becomes effective. And you have to be able to survive in those turns. Which you can do, just as long as something doesn't attack you. There aren't enough EVs to invest in what you need. If you go for HP and Defense, your unboosted Special Defense can't take more than one or two strong neutral hits. They will happen before you can get anywhere with Curse, seeing as you left no EVs in Attack. Or you can raise HP and Sp. Def, but then the Defense boosts you get from Curse are minimal, and physical hits will knock you down.
Hell, raise its Attack and HP. Without investing in a defense, those stats will be pretty low. (Its Special Defense can NOT get over 200 without EV investment, while its Defense just barely makes it. Its base 95 HP is lower than Whiscash's base 110 anyway. But now your Attack hits 295 before Curse, which is okay, if you can survive two hits before you attack. Or the opponent could send out a slow but powerful defensive wall, forcing Quagsire to try and get more Curses while its Speed stat is lower than anything. At this point the wall, granted it has decent attacking power, can take Quagsire down easily.
Okay, after reading everything I partially agree with you.
Stat wise Whiscash wins, but ability wise Quagsire wins hands down.
I feel Curse is an excellent choice for Quagsire thanks to Unaware which would simply ignore Whiscash's Attack boost meaning the DD is a waste of an effort.
Also, if you're concerned about Sp. Def why not throw in Amnesia for buffing?
I use both Curse and Amnesia on my Wailord, and it's a wonderful tank.

I decided not to even mention Amnesia. That was Whiscash's selling point in Gen III since it effectively cancelled out its only weakness after two uses. I guess Quagsire too, but they both can learn the move and I felt that it benefited neither side to be mentioned.

What the intercourse are you talking about, no one said Quagsire and Whiscash were battling EACH OTHER. Your point here makes zero sense. Especially because mostly anything with a Grass attack can OHKO Quagsire even without a stat boost.
Let's look at the popular Grass Knot, even. Quagsire's weight puts it where Grass Knot hits with a base power of 80, not counting multipliers. Whiscash is much lighter, only taking base 40 damage from Grass Knot. Especially if a non-grass type is using the move, base 40 isn't a lot. It might not even kill Whiscash even though it has a 4x weakness. The power would still only be equal to a neutral base 160 power attack. A little stronger than a neutral Surf when used by a water-type (total power 142.5, which leaves only a 17.5 point difference, which is mostly negligable).
My bad. I thought this whole debate was "Quagsire vs. Whiscash".
So yeah, ignore that part.
You're right about the weight.
Quagsire is heavier, and would most likely get OHKO'd by GK thanks to crapulent Sp. bulk.

Yep. Whiscash was blessed with the second-lightest weight tier possible while not being a tiny, helpless Pokémon. Weight is a thing few people ever pay attention to.

Being light weighted isn't always a good thing though.
Since we now have moves that take full advantage of that such as Heat Crash, Heavy Bomber, etc.
In fact, to be tbqh I feel Body Slam would have made sense to have been a weight-based move.

Found a King's Rock with Pick Up earlier.
I double post because I'm so cool omg
Lately I've been working on catching 'em all. I'm going to seriously try to get the data of all as-of-yet available 646 Pokémon in Black before the next game comes out (whether we get a R/S remake or the 3rd game first)
I've only done it in Diamond, and I never finished it until after HGSS, sadly. I really want to try this.
I'm not even going to bother catching every single one.
Having them in the Dex is enough for me.

And I don't want to go any further until my brother reaches me.
Loss of VS Seeker sucks, but you can make up for it alright:
~Black City battles
~Nimbasa City's Big Stadium and Small Court (mid-60s here)
~Battle [Cynthia] in the Summer
~Battle Game Freak Morimoto
As well as some other places, but these are my favorites.
And when all else fails the Elite Four is pretty easy to beat, and offers plenty of experience.
Okay, I just beat the 7th Gym Leader.
My team still consists of the Pokemon I started with:
Lv. 34 Excadrill
Lv. 37 Samurott
Lv. 38 Simisear
Lv. 36 Tirtouga
Lv. 32 Conkeldurr
Lv. 30 Elgyem
My brother's team:
Lv. 37 Unfezant
Lv. 38 Emboar
Lv. 38 Simisage
Lv. 36 Archen
Lv. 35 Zebstrika
Lv. 30 Litwick
One thing I didn't understand was why Brycen used his Beartic 2nd and his Cryogonal last.
If Beartic is supposed to be his signature pokemon.

I think when I battled him, he used Beartic last.
The AI actually has a few good things in B/W, and this must be one of them. Perhaps Crygonal had a serious disadvantage against your active Pokemon that Beartic could easily take care of.
This is like Nimbasa City's gym, where the leader spams Volt Switch. Using a Pokemon immune to Electric attacks (Preferably a zebra, which will get a boost) she changes her entire strategy.
The Elite Four also tend to use their strongest Pokémon while they still have others left, since at least Gen 3.

Lenora was just slightly too overpowered if you don't grind (it took me two tries to beat her)
And Elesa spams that Volt Switch move that confuses everyone
The later gym leaders were easy since you could easily match their strength at higher levels.

Undella Town is busy in the summer. Wait for then (I heard the music changes too!)

The Shelmet was caught in my version, and the Karrablast was caught in my bro's version.

The really good thing about these 2 is not only are they good-natured + Female, but I can also breed for the Egg moves along with the good natures.
That way I'm getting 2 for the price of 1.
I also want Hydration over Sticky Hold.
You got half of the irony right, but not the whole.
It does indeed have to do with their natures though.
Holy crap. I just found a Modest Female with Hydration.

While I do admit its movepool is a bit shallow it does have decent bulk/Sp. Attack which can be in good use if raised the "proper" way.
Water Absorb is unique, and Damp is also a useful ability competitive wise thanks to SDers running loose. (Even though Explosion was nerfed this Gen)
It can't run offensive and support simultaneously, and that's why I want to EV tame more than just one or two.
Each with different abilities too.

I agree. In fact, the
real reason Kingdra is so good right now is due to the fact that it has access to DD.
After about 1-2 (or 3?) DDs it can practically sweep an entire team with Outrage/Waterfall thanks to its balanced base stats and amazing resistances.
Without DD it would be a "Decent, yet other Dragons do it better" type of pokemon, but not useless as it still has the option to go for a Special set.
It also seems to have a much wider choice since its Special movepool has more type coverage than the Physical movepool.
I guess Modest/Timid or Adamant/Jolly would be the only reasonable natures on it because you obviously won't be going mixed, and it really cannot afford any drops in the defenses.
But overall that Kingdra has been and always will be awesome. Because...well...it's an aquatic creature that's also a real dragon.
How awesome is that.

What? Kingdra is okay mixed. Drop a defense and throw in Draco Meteor or Ice Beam/Blizzard. It seriously works.

Thanks. It's actually funny because I have not once come across a single shiny during my entire playthrough.
Yet Nayr, MYL and the rest of you managed to find at least one. :(
I'm apparently very lucky with Shinies and stuff in pokemon.
Shinies: (Crystal) Sneasel, Tangela ; 4th Gen (Pelliper x 2, Rhyhorn, Eevee *via actually trying*) ; 5th Gen (Golbat)
I've also gotten Pokerus in 2nd gen and 5th gen. :P

I thought for certain that MYL got a shiny Pidove or Patrat.
Or maybe that was someone else.
I have yet to get a shiny in B/W
Then again I haven't even done a lot of wild battles.
I'm a hacker, so I have a shiny of all the gen 5s, including genesect and the few others before him. Don't hate me.
