man i was really hoping UPS would get this to me today but it's not looking good
every time i order a game through amazon i end up not getting it release day, should stop paying for release date shipping

Well, it's Sunday. Release Day Shipping for a Sunday game is kind of cruel to offer, actually.

well i didn't really think it would get here the day of but it has been moving along all day (thanks to UPS's handy package stalking tools i can see it's only 2 states away right now)
just didn't make it up here in time to go out for delivery i guess

I could be wrong, but I think UPS still doesn't deliver on Sundays. The stuff keeps shipping around to nearby, though. Maybe you'll get lucky and get it tomorrow, though. 2 states isn't that far for them.

And in more direct Pokemon topics...ugh, it takes so long to be able to trade. My wife better love me because I've spent the day while she's going restarting to the game so she can have all three starters.

i caught a munna holy shit she is so baller

Chen

Caught a bunch of Rufflets (Braviary's prevo). Let me know if you want it over that awful Pidove.

I can't seem to get any shaky grass to show up on Route 1 to save my life. I want an Audino, damnit.

Rustling grass doesn't show up until after the first gym. I really wish someone had told me that before I spent half an hour trying to get an Audino to show up.

Son of a bitch! Thanks for that. Saved me some time. :P

Xenogears of Bore

Anyone buy the guide? If so, how is it?

A friend of mine who worked at Gamestop eventually gave me the pennied out version of just about every 4th gen guide and they were remarkably well done.

I really like how the new experience system encourages you to make a team instead of running through the game with like one supremely over-leveled Pokemon.

Jave

Got some rustling grass to show up without knowing what it meant. Stepped on it and WHAT THE HELL WHAT'S THAT.

Audino get!

Newres

I just seen my first Roggenrola.... and I LOL-ed.... the anus rock pokemon.

You get a Lucky Egg relatively early, so it doesn't really matter.

When I first saw Roggenrola I thought it was a rock version of this:

Killed my first two due to critical hits. :x

Kay

Chen, the moment I get Vulbaby or whatever it's called, I shall call you on the Xtranceiver.

I will tell you about how my Blitzle is in the top 5% of all Blitzle. (And how it is still awful even though I love it.)

Edit: I picked up the guide, thinking there was a handy pokedex in there I could flip through for egg moves, egg groups, all that stuff. I like having something tactile I can hold and not have to use the internet to look stuff up.

There is no Pokedex, but there is a fairly comprehensive list of where everything is, all the secrets, stuff like that. (I imagine, anyhow. I glanced at the first couple of areas once I was way past them, and haven't opened it since.)

Chen

I can give you one now. I caught like twenty of them anyway. :P

Rent

patrat is a dumb poke

i dislike it

however every other poke i have caught i liked so w/e

Anything in particular you'd like? Audino, Sawk and Gothita are available, not sure what the Black/White exclusives are before the E4. I just know that Sawk and Gothita are. Got a Throh, or the green nucleus dude spare? None of the lists have it, just ALALLLL THE MONS.

Also, my f-code is: 2150 7339 1352

Omeks

Man, this game introduces stuff a lot earlier than previous games. You find the daycare practically right at the start this time around.

EDIT: not to mention I've already found three Great Balls and I haven't even left the first city.

Chen

Cottonee would be nice if you have one. If not anything is fine. Heading online in a minute.

edit: it says your fc is wrong

Rent

the first city's music is like...

i can't even express in words how good it is

Pablo the Penguin

Dude, one of the first pokemon I caught had the pokerus. MADNESS. I'm just not sure which one it was, because I didn't look at their status or go to a poke-center until it had spread to all of them.

Rent

beating up preschoolers never stops being enjoyable

Sterica

Lillipup is awesome. Herdier gets fucking intimidate.

I have goddamn intimidate before the second gym.

Kay

Okay, getting online Chen. Got a Cottonee, but it's an Infiltrator, not a Prankster. But you'd be breeding from it anyhow.

Never been on the wifi in this, people said there were adverts?

Also bringing a Gothita and Sawk, because I think they're exclusives. I'm looking for Throh, Braviary's prevo, and the green cell guy. Renunculus?

Edit: That is your F-code in your location, right?

Chen

Okay, will be bringing all three, but I'm gonna have to have your correct FC.

edit: guess you just had to go on wifi first for nintendo to pick up your fc. and yes.

Kay

You do! I see you right there.

Edit: Oh yeah, retarded nicknames on some before I stopped doing it. I named the Sawk after the guy in Black Dynamite.

Sharpysharp

SO finally got my pal pad!
Pokemon Black Friends Code: 5329 0213 8070

Really liking gen 5 so far, psychic pokemon with psybeam at 11 ftw!

freelancepolice

I left my ds on with heart gold in on my desk yesterday. It was on a pokemon box screen, my girlfriend said she'd "released Eevee" when I came back, just as I was saving. She thought it meant letting it out to play..., a bro can't be mad at that ). God speed Eevee

Newres

Yes, got an Audiono and I did not even see the grass moving..... and got a Munna right afterwards.....

Chen

How the hell does this work and how do you have so many mons in your selection? I thought you could trade three mons at once, but I guess you can't. Man I feel like a complete noob.

Kay

Yeah, I was hoping you could mass-trade, given that it said you could.

Apparently, that's only doable over infrared.

Thanks, Chen! Rufflet is fucking adorable.

Edit: Jesus fucking christ Attack 80.

Chen

I got you a +atk one. You're welcome!

The only mons who learn Encore through level-up are Clefairy, Togetic, Plusle and Minun? FFFFFUUUU

Sangheili91

So after doing Oak's bullshit task of getting 60 Pokemon for the national dex in leaf green (using charizard solo, I don't need no other mons!) and the stupid sevii islands quest, I caught mewtwo. Is it worth it to finsh the sevii islands, or can i just transfer up my pokemon to soul silver and finally move on to white?

Sharpysharp

Hey all, just picked up Black, Friends Code is: 5329 0213 8070

So far, I am fairly impressed with the game! Though, I am not too far in yet.

Halos Nach Tariff

I want to get online for the Victini event, I've got a DSi, Pokémon Black/White and a WPA wireless router. I put in all my WEP key SSID stuff in the DSi but it just gave me a 51300 error. Anyone know what's up? Do I have to let the DS through my firewall or something. Bleh, I am bad at computeeers...

Dunxco

Uuurgh levelling a Cofagrigus on Route 7 FFFFFFUUUUUUUU. :x

I've seen things use Encore on me this gen. That Chinchilla thing, for instance. Mincinno?

Edit: Esela (Electric Gym) is destroying me with...

She has two level 25-ish Emolga, and a level 27 Zebstrika.

I have:

Level 24 Roggenrola (with Prevo stone)
Level 24 Herdier (as it knows dig, which is useless in this damned fight hah)
Level 23 Blitzle (which I thought would be awesome with Lightning Rod, but she never uses an Electric attack on it.)
Level 24 Emboar (which knows Rollout, good for Emolga, but they just one-shot it with Aerial Ace)
Level 23 Sandile
Level 25 Palpitoad

The hell. More grinding?

Chen

I meant mons that can breed with Cottonee.

Descendant X

Pokeymans get!

Now I just have to wait until the 3DS comes out at the end of the month...

Lucascraft

Am I the only one who doesn't care for the new UI in B/W? I think the battle screen is ugly and the 'Y' screen isn't nearly as good as HG/SS.

I also feel like any time we might be saving during battles is lost on all the new needless closeups that it does.

Adellios

Youngster Joey, where did your Rattata go? Did you trade it for Patrat?

Audino and a Throh get, gosh that Throh didnt want to be caught! Time for the second gym!

EDIT: Am I a terrible person for checking every trash bin? I have RPG-itis.

Haha I do the same thing.... is there actually anything to find in this game in the thrash bins ? It used to be in the early games.

joshgotro

Where do I find my FC?
