Then once the Bank comes out or whatever, I'm gonna transfer all the starters I have in Black and White (Which is ALL OF THEM)

Does this one bring back the Pokeradar that you could use to chain into Shinies? I'm guessing not.

It's there from the beginning. After you turn your Internet Services on, hit the button next to the Internet button that brings up a list. Wonder Trade is in that list of actions.

Did they really take out the thing that lets you see whether you have captured all the Pokemon on a route?

Roller Skates rule. I don't know what black magic trainers use to skate up and down stairs, but that's great too.

First area with trainers is a forest of bug catchers and Pikachu is a rare encounter? Pow, right in the nostalgia.

Also this game is so pretty. :swoon: Fairy type is going to trip me up a lot for a while, I think. Well, got that adorable flower critter on the team, that helps. And of course the second I reached the first proper town I went and bought a hat. I'm a sucker for that kind of customisation.

Why the gently caress would they take this out, that was my favorite thing in W2 :argh:

Oh well, hey when can I use the wonder trade thing? I want to send out my Beedril in hopes that she finds a new home since I'm replacing her with Ralts.

Also I am shocked, SHOCKED, that they actually managed to make EV training fun.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
Wow, this manual might as well have not been printed. It's just a three-part foldout, with only two 'pages' devoted to the actual game systems.

Also, this might get lost in the shuffle, but the Gen5 Dream World is back up. If you're trying for the 100+ Medal on B/W2 from it, put the game down long enough to tuck in and run!

I have used Ayl's Froakie he traded me maybe once or twice since it evolved into Frogadier and it's still staying a comfortable 2 1/2 level ahead of everyone else thanks to boosted exp and exp share. I love exp share so much.

~They've got the bad guys on the run!~
I've had the game for two and a half hours now and loved every second of it. The thing that I loved best though is the length of the line outside of Gamestop consisting of other college age and above Poke-fans looking for their fix and laughing off their self-consciousness about wanting a "kiddy game".

No kidding. Filling up your team with six unique guys in the first patch of grass is a welcome change of pace.

Yeah I seriously love it. I'm glad they went with a smaller number of new Pokes, because it means they were able to crank up the diversity and nostalgia to 11. WHAT'S UP WILD METAPOD THAT KEEPS DOING HARDEN!

I wasn't sure I was going to like the Pokemon Amie but watching combee's 3 faces follow my stylus around was pretty cute.

Also wonder trade would be great if there was something in it to stop people from flooding it with fletchlings.

Why did you post that?
So usually I don't try to catch all the mons, and after gen III I don't even pretend to catch most of them. But with catching giving experience (so, sure I'll throw this pokeball because catch rates are dumb for pokemon below level 20) and wonder trade being the most fun, I think I'm... catching them all?

I give sensible nicknames.

OH GOD, as I type this a loving horde of SCRAGGY what STOP.

This, except I'm probably not going to use Torchic and will ditch Squirtle as soon as I can find a Clauncher.

Game is amazing so far. So many fantastic little touches, like how your character kneels down to talk to kids and actually animates putting items in the bag. And the super training is hella fun.

How long til I can find a Houndour? Just finished the first gym.

This is what I'm doing. I would've gone with Chespin, but two of my friends are getting the thing. Didn't want the poor frog to go unloved.

My team right now is Kermit the Froakie, Birb the Flechling, Bunita the Bunnelby, Jotaro the Pacham, BadtotheBone the Skiddo and Fatty the Pikachu. All of them are female because the game won't stop throwing them at me for some reason.
