you encounter him more
think of gen I or gen II
you only need to surf like
to get to one or two gyms
with gen III you have to surf EVERYWHERE
and it is the fucking worst thing
the problem is tentacools can poison
and running is not 100% effective
it's just like how zubats can confuse
or geodudes can explode
nope, running can and does fail
Five levels is enough to reduce it below half.
But I don't want to buy another game right now.
do we know yet
156 new pokémon all together, including event legendaries.
From the OP:
Is this the best Pokémon game ever?
Of course it is, it's the one based on AMERICA.
yet it has people in very japanized clothes like salarymen, maids and secretaries. i always found that odd.
Nowhere on the internet does it mention another trigger. I haven't gotten very far in this game. I basically just want to do this event and transfer Celebi to White as soon as possible. What's the deal?
how great is this one
I bet you have to at least beat the radio tower to unlock it considering how the event goes.
There was a rumor that they said that, but it was a mistranslation and the original people clarified. It's very clear that they are planning on a Grey -- the 3rd of the Tao trio is in game (and very weak), for example. There's also stuff (items, mostly) that hints at a Gen 3 remake.
Apparently they took away every annoyance, rebalanced the game (by locking out older pokemon) to make it accessible for new players, and did the standard "new generation, new neat toys" like triple battles and the like.
Oh, and it actually has a plot. Still not a JRPG epic, but it's more than "find tourney, beat up guys".
I will admit, this bugged me, too. Seeing Kindergarden trainers in the typical Japanese hats and jumpers and nurses in pink outfits definitely comes off as more Japanesy. And then there's the crazy pair of Subway conductors. It's still very much an Easterned-made RPG.
At least they put in American Football and Basketball trainers, eh?

"Did ya hear the one about the mussel that wanted to purchase Valve? Seems like the bivalve had a juicy offer on the table but the company flat-out refused and decided to immediately clam up!"
The only real annoyance I had was the grind. Is that gone? Because if so, sign me the hell up.
The Grind is still there but the game path is more linear and as such it's much easier to get through the game without power leveling.
But White has the nucleus guy, and I have no use for Whimsicott, and for goddsakes we all know a third version is coming no matter what Nintendo says. They feed us sweet sweet lies and drink up our disappointment like nectar.
And the pre-5th-gen pokes I can just trade over, which leaves not a lot of version exclusives.

I would say, getting your Pokemon up to speed with the rest of your party is no longer an issue with scaling EXP based on level. But a lot Pokemon evolution numbers have been boosted way high because of that, meaning it can feel like a grind to get your little Larvesta up to Lv. 59 in order to evolve it into Volcarona.
They've swapped old key devices like the VS. Seeker and the PokeGear with more repeatable trainer battles. You still get things like EXP Share and Lucky Egg.

Satan.
Seriously that is fucking Stupid. "Oh when they're running they must be trying to speed through the game! Their party isn't debilitated at all! up the encounter rate! "
I picked Oshawott. Turned out to be female. Am I lucky? It seems like when I tried to play D/P I could never find female starters on the wifi thing.
I'm checking bulbapedia and there's no reference to this
and i've never heard of this happening in any pre-release materials for the game
i need a source for this but until then i doubt this is a thing
But the encounter rate gets jacked up sky-high if you run through grass.
Like, you can't run two steps through grass without going into a battle.
I think it's interesting that I feel a lot less judgemental about the new Pokemon in Gen V than in previous generations. Because the line-up is all new I think it kind of gives them all an extra legitimacy. They're all part of a whole, rather than just a few 'mon stuck on the end of the original 150.
This is going to be an interesting experience for me. I've gone into the last bunch of Pokemon games already knowing everything about them. I don't know a damn thing about this one! Hell, I only took one look at all of the pokemon, back when we first saw them.
