Black and White recent happenings thread!

Yeah, cobalion is annoying to catch. I thought about going for Kyurem after smoking all of the 60+ trainers I've faced so far on the left side of Unova, but then decided to watch a video of someone attempting the same thing. Quickly biked in the other direction, and flew to Cobalion. And is the Palette swap trio gonna be floating around Unova randomly, or do I have to catch landorous to get the other one to start flying around?

Landorus only appears after you have both Thundurus and Tornadus in game. If you have White Thundurus roams randomly after enountering him on Route 7, and in Black Tornadus roams randomly after you encounter him on Route 7. You must trade to get Landorus.

Actually, you have to get the other two and bring them to Landorus' shrine at the same time to get it to spawn.

So, I dunno if I should still use Sawk, is it any good later in the game?

For anyone attempting Cobalion---
Paralysis and Timer Balls are the most effective, I've found from watching my friend catch hers. Only if the Dusk Balls don't work, that is.

I'd keep it. Sawk has an awesome attack stat and pretty average defenses. If you have one with Sturdy it's even better. I don't even know why they made it available so early in the game.

On another note, I'm EV training this Sandile I caught quite a while ago (the Adamant Moxie one). I even checked it's IVs and they're all 20-25ish except speed, but I'm going to build another bulky intidimate one for my Sandstorm team anyways.

Ah. Soon as I get the musketeer trio with the natures I want, I'll go for the palette swaps.

Caught Virizion earlier, so all the legends are out of the way~ Musketeer guys were kinda easy to catch for me, I don't see why everyone else apparently is having a problem with them ._. Battle Subway is starting to get annoying now, I must admit. It's all for the best though.

Audino training a Yamask is so boring.
It consists of using Will-O-Wisp and stalling until it burns to death.

Use a TM move on something you'll replace soon to speed things up? s:

Insofar, it can't learn any of my attacking move TMs.

Victini... is so annoying >.<

Of course. The one move it can learn that I have is a physical move. Lovely.

Got my 8th badge. I'm getting my butt handed to me on Victory Road. Need moar strong Pokemans.

Oh my god. Ludicolo looks so cool.

10 victinis later, and I finally get one with decent stats. 31 IV sp. atk and 28 iv spd.

I just decided to train my in game team on the League by using 5 of my Lv.100s and just giving one of my Pokémon an exp. share. It works quite well. Also, the Hall of fame is freaking awesome this time around: each Pokémon gets a cool background based on it's primary typing, like a bunch of black and white stars for a normal type, a massive thunderbolt that's on both screens for Electric types, 3 "slashes" for dragon types, etc. The music is great too. Sadly the credits aren't that great anymore: you still have the awesome music, but the background is just black / white, rather than seeing a legendary.

Anyone online? I want to test a connection I'm stealing.

edit: nevermind, it works. Tested on GTS.

Drilbur has evolved into Excadrill!

I AM NOW UNSTOPPABLE.

Hahaha sweet. I changed my internet settings and now my DS works with my wireless

Victini here i come.
