    Does there happen to be any in-game way to get encounter entries on the uncatchable legendaries?

    N's Darmanitan went in a pokeball like a punk. Didn't even have to touch him.

    I used up all my pokeballs, great balls and ultra balls on one of those roving pokemon, only to catch it in a bloody net ball.

    I got tired of running out of balls a couple of games ago, so whenever I've used around ten of the things, I buy 20-50 more.

  • Xenogears of BoreXenogears of Bore Registered User regular
    I bought 400 pokeballs in batches of ten last week so I could catch level 2-4 watchogs to trade over my complete pokedex from black and white.

    I feel like the duder who caught everything legendary in HG/SS with Premiere Balls, I got 47 of them!

    All Dusk Balls, all the time.

    Indeed, after I got max money in Platinum I spent it all on Dusk Balls.

    Yes.

    I never buy pokeballs in numbers which are not ten. If I'm out of money, I will get enough money for ten before I buy any.


    Edit: Wow, this is sad. How have I not captured Kyurem in White yet? This demands remedy. Wonder if I should aim for a certain nature, maybe. Since I haven't captured either one yet, that opens the possibility of one Atk and one Sp. Atk, for example.
    Though I think at least Black Kyurem would do well as mixed due to everything anti-Steel being Special.

    Just started Black 2. Really getting into it and what-not. After spending about an hour or two just reading over info on Bulbapedia I have found myself running around in the same patch of grass for the last hour just trying to catch a Buneary because the completionist in me will not let me move on.

    What have I gotten myself into.
    Also: There should be a pokemon website that is similar to WoWhead with Ajax scripting and what-not, that would be sweet (if there is not already).

    Questions:

    Does rustling grass have a chance to appear randomly after I come out of battles?
    Pokemon like (Skitty) that are not available in Black 2, can they only be obtained via Trade?
    Does Nintendo ever do the Event pokemon more than once? I guess I missed the Keldeo event and it looks awesome and i'm really sad I missed it.

    I'm still in the Desert Resort, stubbornly catching Dwebble.

    Don't think so. It's only walking/running/biking/surfing, ever since the PokeRadar didn't make it into more games.
    Not necessarily. Check the Dream World, too.
    Sometimes. It's kind of unpredictable.


    Edit: Ack! Am I really that picky? I've been trying to find an Adamant, Impish, Careful or Jolly with Sturdy. So, hmm, actually I've only checked maybe twenty with Sturdy, so my luck still isn't that bad. Yeah, OK, it should work out.

    Thanks. :) Just spent 3 hours in grass trying to catch an Eevee. Success.

    The idea of the event Pokemon being event only drives me insane. I will find a way to get that bastard. Until then, off to another gym!

    Yeah, I don't have a Keldeo, either. Could have sworn I had one, but nope.

    Yeah, i'll find a Keldeo. I have a buddy that works at Gamestop who is a big Pokemon nutcase so maybe he can help me out somehow.

    Before. They only work for the first 100 points.

    Nah. It's Earth Power, Rock Smash, or Focus Blast. White Kyurem also gets Fusion Flare, and is the Special-specialist to boot.

    Seems like most event pokemon are getting Wi-Fi events at some point. Also, for the purposes of getting rewards for pokedex completion I think they are not counted. Of course that doesn't help with OCD.

    Went back into the Dream World for a bit. Getting lots of rare berries. Used to be mostly Oran.

    No super-exciting pokemon, but picked the only female one. Sand Rush Geodude.

    really appreciating the formula switch-ups in this game, like getting to the large city so early, exploring the sewers, etc.

    also really digging the flip to fewer grass/normal near the beginning. i mean, i have white 2, but black 2 would've had Growlithe AND Magby available before you generally reach lvl 15. that's pretty great.

    Thought I'd grab a Random Matchup for more Avenue-fun, but that involved more waiting than I'm comfortable with. Magnemite-coil 4 lyfe?
    Oh, but somebody from the Dream World also showed up. A random home-visitor with a sleeping Cryogonal.

    I really don't know why I'm especially annoyed about grinding Dream-points. Got about 200 without much effort, so a month or two of doing as much as today would get me to 10 000. But I just don't feel like it.

    Jesus, Nintendo. Five dollars at most.
    Magnemite-coil 4 lyfe?
    The lv10 legendary idiots seem to have caught wind of the coil but yeah, I'm still doing that too.

    Damn near everything in my avenue is rank 10 already thanks to those trades.

    Dream World is probably the best return for the least effort when it comes to getting join avenue hits. I routinely get 8-10 vistors a day from the DW.

    When Magnemite coiling, always offer one. It's faster in the end.

    Join avenue is like a mall that the owner can't be bothered running so he asks the first kid he see walking past, you the player character to run. You can then ask your friends to open up shops there then you can harass people to go patronize said shops.

    As silly as that sound I think that kind it. People you interact with online or with local play are the ones who turn up aswell as a few npc.

    And the shops become amazing.

    Edit: What have you registered to your "free space"? Mine has hold-items for exp., EVs and friendship, so far. Also Leftovers and Eviolite. I'll likely put an Everstone in there when I find one.

    Spoilers.
    Ah! Zoroark!

    What's up with that thing? Thanks for the TM, I guess.

    Hold on, it's the guy from B/W. So him, too.


    It amuses and disturbs me that Hidden Grottos are actually the only places without gaps.
    And I just noticed that the mother has commentary for the gate-houses, too.
    And now I need a flying pokemon. Hmm. But I can actually travel fast on the roads in this urban region, so it's no rush.

    Damn and blast. The gender of this Minccino seems set as male. Level isn't set, though. Are all Grotto-pokemon male, or am I just unlucky? Minccino-males are normally rare.

    The shops in join avenue are pretty incredible if you're serious about breeding and raising pokemon for competitive play and you're loaded with cash.

    Not only that, though. It also sells excellent healing items at reduced prices. Fresh Water can be bought in bulk, even cheaper than usual, and mine sells Max Revives, too.
    And berries! For example, if you manage to find a White-florist, you might become able to buy Liechi-berries every day. Black-florists sell Petaya-berries.
    Rank up the raffle-place a bit and Master Balls should become slightly more common. I got the second place tonight, at rank 6.

    Did you know that one of the random Antiques is freaking Sacred Ash?

    Don't forget that there are Pass Powers for reducing all prices by some percentage. It also seems very easy to become an ice-cream man and turn a profit on the Casteliacone-trade fairly early in the game.


    Edit: Find Lost Items! is crazy. Five minutes long. Just managed to earn 41 Pass Orbs along with all the free meds and Escape Ropes.
    Just checked the ice-cream gig, btw. I think it's more than 22 000 daily.

    Join Avenue at Rank 40 or above gives you the max discount, 40%.

    I wonder how that interacts with the 50% from Bargain Power 3. I'm assuming that the Avenue-discount will simply be included in the base-price, then 50% off that. Actually, I don't even know if different levels of the same power stack or not.
