i mean it's got 105 base speed, 95 sp.atk, and 30 defense

give it 6 more points in speed and 20 in sp.atk and it'd actually be solid

I always wanted a motorcycle Pokémon but people tend to bitch about Pokémon that look like inanimate objects.

i wanted this, and a three stage bug/normal-> bug/fighting kamen rider style pokemon (even better if it has a mega evolution at the end for an ultimate form) Also i thought a cool idea was a Ultra stone that combined a z-move and a mega transformation together so you could mega evolve and then when you used the Z-move it would burn up the mega evolution too.

It would actually be pretty funny if Luchalitten's 3D model was it on all fours, but it stood up temporarily during attack animations. After all, it would be pretty fast if it ran as a quadruped instead of a biped. Unless nature doesn't work like that, are there wild cats with big front paws and smaller legs?

I don't know about cats, but that's an inversion of how rabbit locomotion works.

I'm glad we can all agree that 4's deviantartesque plot of destroying reality is the worst story.

Story aside, the distortion world was still really cool looking.

I hope they use the female protagonist in Pokémon generations when they get to Gen 5. She's rad, and even though I don't watch the anime it still kinda annoys me that she was never featured in the anime.

Would I be unable to play an imported copy of Pokemon Black 2 on a 3DS/2DS from a different region?
If so, would it work with the Poke Transporter app?

Frankly it's the meat of the game. I'm pretty sure there's even another one with your main character to tie things up at the end.

I did the Yaksha guy's story and got stuck in a cycle of winning a new area only for the invading army to take the area I just left.

And since you can't start or end side stories at will, I made the game unwinnable for myself. :negative:

I played a French copy of Black on my American 3DS. You should be fine. I THINK it would still work with the Transporter app, but I admit I never actually tried to get any of my French duders...

I never made it that far. I played 3 or so side stories... and they all play out pretty much the same. You capture all the regions. The only difference is where you start, so I got burned out. Still plenty of content and I enjoyed the game immensely.

People seem to be desperate for a quadrupedal starter, nevermind the fact that most quadruped Pokémon tend to have awful movepools when compared to their biped brethren.

I'm surprised there's still no Sphinx pokemon that is four legged in its' basic form, 2 legged in its' next evolution, and the final form is 2 legged and wielding a staff/cane.

Alternatively, get a Powersave, save before the battle with Xerneas, and backup the save file. Now you can catch it as many times as you want.

With powersaves you can just clone, whatever. Also change vivillon forme, very useful.

How reliable are powersaves? I just want to be able to back up my Y/OR saves so I can play through the games again but still be able to switch back to my original files for sentimental reasons. The Amazon reviews for them are terrible.
