The Black and White thread!

Atavan-Halen

Currently on victory road. If only I could remember how to get through it

Also changed the name of the thread in case people were wondering!

Picked up White version yesterday. Obviously I just told them it was for my 10 year old son to avoid embarrassment even though it raises questions about how old I'm supposed to be. I didn't do this.

Beat Cynthia current team is

Haxorus lv84
Excadrill LV76
Serperior lv74
Emboar lv76
Unfezant lv61


Not sure what to put in the final spot

Urizen

Bought White. I'm weak. But now I can trade over the other starters and the version exclusives. Gonna take my time with it this time.

Gave up on Elite round 2 until I EV up my new team. Zoroark is EV'd for Atk and Spd, moving on to my second Oshawott now. Team'll be ready in a week or so, then all will be destroyed.

I got annoyed at Battle Subway, so I brought over Salamence, Garchomp, Tyranitar and caught a Metagross. Bye bye subway, hello Power items!

Just past the 6th Gym. Very enjoyable so far. The best Pokémon game by far since Gold/Silver. The Pokémon are more aesthitically pleasing than the previous gen imo.

Still cant help but laugh every time Trubbish is sent out :rolleyes: He's the new Magikarp!

Well, in my real game, I'm just into Iccirus City:

Samurott 38, Victini 37, Scrafty 39, Archeops 37, Galvantula 37.

Apparently I need to beat the Gym Leader to go get a Golurk

That lineup is freakishly similar to mine. Using a Whimsicott as my 6th though. Weak point indeed!

Beat the Elite Four the first time now, team is currently:

Haxorus - Level 52
Emboar - Level 54
Zweilous - Level 53
Victini - Level 53
Zekrom - Level 53
Serperior - Level 55




Oh, and first non-Unova 'mon I caught was a Kangaskhan

2 badges. Hurrah.
Applesauce - L18 Pignite (did not survive the battle, glad it's not a Nuzlocke run...)
Jigsaw - L17 Timburr (don't think he actually took part)
Jagger - L19 Roggenrola (was actually L17 when he took down the Watchogg...)
Jaqui - L16 Blitzle (managed a respectable thunderwave before nosediving)
Brando - L16 Herdier (for moral support)
Parsnip - L15 Drilbur (eye candy at this point)

If this goes anything like Black, only the Pignite and Herdier are likely to feature for most of the rest of the game... we'll see.

Final team member chosen :cool:

Don't give up on Blitzle, it gets awesome once it learns Wild Charge. Just finished EV'ing an Adamant one up for my second go at the Elite. Tis awesome.

When does one obtain Exp. Share? o.o

Raze_them_all

there's 2 of them, fairly early on iirc

wayhey

Black or white? I can't decide, I'm looking at the differences on Serebii here now.. I suppose the GTS really makes the Pokemon differences null and void, so it's down to the areas...

One after beating all of the Battle Company in Castelia, and the second... I can't remember where. I know I got it in my real game, but I swear it only around Mistralton or Icirrus...

cloud493

Second exp share comes from the chairman of the pokemon fan club after showing him a pokemon you've raised a certain number of levels.

WhiskeyGoblin

iirc?
Excuse the lack of knowledge

Raze_them_all

if i recall correctly

WhiskeyGoblin

Thanks guys!
Appreciate the help.

Just coming onto my 8th badge, major shift in my lineup. I've dropped Galvantula and adopted Kinklang, dropped Watchog for Litwick and my Unfezant is replaced for Druddigon.

So my lineup after 7 badges coming up to my 8th:

Samurott lvl 42
Victini lvl 41
Kinklang lvl 41
Litwick lvl 39
Druddigon lvl 40
Whimsicott lvl 40


Been keeping Whimsicott, he's been quite useful for capturing Pokémon and such. He's a weak point in the lineup but I'm happy enough to keep him for the time being.

Lineups before included Blitzle (dropped very quickly due to its poor defence, adopted Joltik at the time instead), Sawk and then DennyM's Throh before abandoning them both too, and Herdier was fairly useful for the first 4 badges or so.

going to head for breakfast now, cafe has wifi so will be online if anyone wants to trade/battle

cherryghost

I've got Gothite and Sawk if any white owners wish to trade later. At work at the moment, but I'm free after 9

degausserxo

Pretty disappointed with white tbh. As far as the Elite Four it's an alright game, but I thought there'd be a lot more to it afterwards. Currently looking for sages 5&6. Team iiiiissss

Emboar - L80 (bit annoyed at myself cause 3/4 moves inflict damage to him so unless I've a good stock of full restores he's a bit useless)
Zekrom - L55 (only good move is Fusion Bolt)
Swellow - L57 (purely for cuteness & fly)
Tangela - L56
Wailmer - L56 (SO CUTE.)
Clefairy - L62

Now all I need is wifi.. bah. Much prefer SoulSilver.

Can i get a Sawk! I have a Throh? If that interests you?

Atavan-Halen

Currently doing some serious levelling up before the E4. Team is:

Sniffles the Beartic - lv.41
Deino - lv.41
Vullaby - lv. 41
Serperior - lv.42
Pillow the Musharna - lv. 43
Floatzel - lv. 67 :P

My team is fairly crap and seriously underlevelled. Might have to make some adjustments!

cherryghost

I got Throh but I'll trade ya for something anyway

WhiskeyGoblin

I don't really have much ;_;
I've had so little time to play...

Floatzel? Really?

The team isn't that low actually. The E4 are seriously weak when you face them, even now you'd probably win.
