Pokémon Black and White

Re: Pokémon Black and White

Lyndis (Samurott) (F) Lv44
Vaida (Scrafty) (F) Lv45
Lucius (Reuniclus) (M) Lv42

Chris (Archeops) (M) Lv42
Hector (Fraxure) (M) Lv44

Re: Pokémon Black and White

SO Black finally came in the mail today. In about 6 hours of playing I am now up to Lenora's gym and totally hating the level-grindingness. If they're going to make us grind to level 12+ for the first gym and 20+ for the second, why would they only make level 7 and 17, respectively, the highest level of wild Pokemon available nearby... especially with the new EXP formula? Gah I just want to bop the designers on the head so hard.

(I'm going to periodically edit/update this post, rather than add new ones, because that's just kind of spammy.)

3/19/11 12:19AM, playtime 37:14

Definitely replacing Chiller with my Reshiram once I catch it, but otherwise I feel like this party is pretty set for Ghetsis (except levelling, of course).

I started with Snivy (WELL NO SHIT) and I love his little animation where he folds his arms and taps his foot so damn much. I wish he didn't lose his limbs upon evolution, but his evolved forms are even more awesome so that makes up for it.

He keeps them, or at least his hands. They're folded behind his back.

Re: Pokémon Black and White

Damn you Black! Why must you frustrate me! I've been looking around for a certain lv. 25 Leipard for hours now ;-;

Re: Pokémon Black and White

I've only had this game for two days and you people are already done with it! Damn, it sucks to have a full-time job...

Trainer: Fenrir
Badges: Trio, Basic
Location: Castelia City

Lv.22 Servine (Tackle/Leer/Leaf Tornado/Leech Seed)
I realized all too late that Growth increases both Att. and Sp.Att. :'(

Lv.22 Sawk (Low Sweep/Leer/Double Kick/Bide)
Favorite so far. Kicks ass against most everything except Bugs and Flyers.

Lv.23 Blitzle (Flame Charge/Charge/Shock Wave/Thunder Wave)
As an afterthought, I want to name it "Pretzel" so I can say "Pretzel the Blitzle."

They're the only ones that have really grabbed me, looks and battle-wise thus far. Almost got stuck on a Tympole, but it got old fast.
Was also working with a Herdier for a while, but Sawk wound up trumping it in every way that mattered.
Oh! And, of course, I nabbed Victini. In a Heal Ball.

Re: Pokémon Black and White

I got it Monday. The best music award goes to Accumula Town cos you go up to the house and you talk to the people and they play their instruments and it sounds beautiful. The rival battle music sounds like Mario RPG music.

Team: (all male)
Von Salais [Dewott]
Napoleon [Herdier]
Gru [Tranquil]
Zabumafu [Pansear]
Jorge III [Sandile]

Can somebody send me a Fire Blast and a Acrobatics TM? Promise I'll give it back.

Re: Pokémon Black and White

I'm pissed at Best Buy for only shipping my game yesterday. I have learned to never EVER order a game online.

Re: Pokémon Black and White

Just curious to people who are postgame, did you actually go back to the Elite 4 for a Hall of Fame debut? I'm trying to grind for it because you don't get one during the storyline ._.

Re: Pokémon Black and White

So Doryuuzu - Most overpowered or Mostest overpowered?
In my White playthrough way back when I used a good 'ol Crocostyle so I never bothered with a mole. Apparently this was a mistake; training one is a little slow on the upkeep (so delicate in the earlier levels) but this gally bulldozes /everything/. No pun intended when she's actually doing so with the move Bulldoze. Hold back evolution till 33 and you get a natural Earthquake, game over. Claw Sharpen, Earthquake and Rock Slide will pretty much be straight sweep for anything. (And the accuracy++ from sharpen even covers the CPU is a cheating bastard and Rock Slide has 85 accuracy factor!) Top that off the Steel subtyping basically makes it immune to dying.
Then on top of its bitchin' typing and stats it can double its speed in the most common weather making it a nigh unstoppable powerhouse in competitive too.
Gamefreak still trollin' and molein'.


Anyway may as well update while I'm here. I'm in.. what'sit.. Twist Mountain. I quite dislike this place, but eh. :V Kinda cruising along nicely, I suppose. Team status is:

Jean (Janovy / Servine) (Female in spirit! Too lazy to SR) lv.34
Dig Dug (Doryuuzu / Excadrill) (MVP right heyah) lv.39
Katya (Daburan / Duosion) (Cellmon was the only thing really missing from Black. Good thing I have White too. c:) Lv.38
Zora (Zoroark) (GEE I WONDER WHERE THIS NAME COMES FROM) Lv.38
Cockledurr (Dat Musclehead) (...and about the name, don't ask) Lv.32
Florin (Victini) (APPLETINI) Lv.35


Also Emonga is still the biggest dickwad this side of Blissey

Re: Pokémon Black and White

Now I'm in Nimbasa! Getting ready to do the gym there. I was trying to level up a little bit before the gym since I don't know what the leader's levels are, but... Oh well. I'm going in anyway~ I like this city, too, and the bike seems really fast. The city music gets on my nerves after a little while, though..
Also, I got my sister to trade with me so I could get Gigalith :D

Alfred (Dewott/M) lvl 27
Choco Pie (Blitzle/F) lvl 25
Little Rox (Gigalith/F) lvl 26
Sock (Sawk/M) lvl 27
Jackie (Sandile/F) lvl 27

I want Jackie and Choco to evolve soon....

Re: Pokémon Black and White

My favorite Pokemon so far has to be my Sawk, Outsider. Named after one of the greatest books ever.

Re: Pokémon Black and White

Got through Elesa this morning. Of course, every time I used a paralyz heal, I would be paralyzed the very next turn. -_- And damn those Emolga with volt switch.

Sawk lvl 27

Re: Pokémon Black and White

Aaaaaah, Black City is hard. I was all ready to take on the world post-credits, and pretty much had my arse handed to me in a rotation battle with a bunch of level 65s. O.O
