Just used the "get any event Pokemon" link from the HG/SS thread to get Arceus and activated the Sinjoh ruins event.
It is likely the trippiest shit Game Freak has ever done.
So is the game good? And is there a change in the formula this time? I MIGHT get it some time, but I wanna know what you guys think.

The formula has been changing in every game, there were some pretty big changes in the meta game in DPPt, this one has a better story than the previows ones, a lot of features like random battling, random trading.
The league is diferent also but I won't spoil people, if you want to know if its still get 8 badges and challenge the league yes that's still part of the game.
3rd Gym beaten and sent the beasts and Celebi to the game, to get myself a Zorua wich I already have but wtv.

Unfortunately, I'm in the same situation as Sno.
Meh. Will give me time to do the Shining Leaf side-quest in HG.
My Gamestop won't be releasing till Sunday morning. I'm looking forward to having the games.
Got a text from Gamestop a couple of hours ago, saying I can pick up the game Sunday, so pumped for this.

You ordered from Wal-Mart, too?
Well, then you're in luck. I just got an e-mail saying it's shipped (Sudden and unexpected, but I'm not complaining), so you should be getting yours soon, as well. (Still, I don't know exactly how long it'll take to ship, as I've never used Walmart.com before.)

Yeah.
Hmm, maybe we might get it earlier than the 15th, but knowing from my past experience from ordering from walmart.com, it will most likely arrive by the 15th.
I order Season 1, Second Voyage from there before and it took TWO MONTHS to arrive.

oh man, I lost my shit over that.
hella dramatic music, images of earth just kinda flashing by…clouds, fire, cows, DNA, stars, it felt like ICP's Magical Mysteries. And then Arceus created it all!!! I think it was trying to be serious, but I couldn't stop laughing the whole time. It felt to out of place and random for a pokemon game.

Yeah. How the fuck are kids supposed to handle that? :blink:

It makes you wonder what the hell the player character was seeing.
It also instills an uneasiness around circles in you.

wait what link is this can u post it?
@Zoro's:
Welcome.
Thanks! So how exactly does it work?
Edit: Uhp, nm, i got it, i just thought i was clueless. Thanks again!
So how's the grind before the elite 4 in this game? I heard it's pretty f'ing bad.. and that leveling has changed in the way that you get less experience for defeating certain leveled pokemon depending on what level your pokemon are?
The experience isn't set this time around apparently, meaning you'd have to go for bigger and stronger buggers the higher your levels are.
Thats kind of good though, makes it more of a challenge to get to higher levels, maybe people would spend more time focusing on training rather than on catching pokemon they'd never use.
The upside to the experience formula changing means it's going to be incredibly easy to level up weaker monster in the end game. Things can catch up to your team really fast and easy.
Its the same formula Suikoden has always used, and its great.
It makes abusive over leveling harder, but balancing the playing field really easy. (But grinding from 60-100 was always a pain anyway.)

Wow that ban was fast.
Anyway 4th and 5th Gym done, still same team, the damn Eagle only evolves at level 54 its still at level 31 xD.
huh. he was banned already. Didn't even see any of his posts aside from those XD
Anywho. Another day. More training.
Current Team:
Sticky (Tympole) lvl 23
Scotti (Herdier) lvl 23
Ganon (Pignite) lvl 25
Fem-Croc (Sandile) lvl 23

Will probably change things up once I get some other pokes I want/like better.
Anywho. Here is my FC

Does anybody want to battle (not competitive) or trade?
So is this out in the U.s. yet or anyone know when it will be out?

Well I've played all of them except this one and to be honest they're pretty much rehashes all the time. Don't get me wrong; they're GOOD rehashes, extremely fun ones at that; but it's a bit unfair of some of you guys to criticize a few specific franchises which rehash their games when Pokemon's been doing it for years. (Except COD, that one's just awful)
And the designs didn't do it for me. I'll probably just wait for the 3rd version and see what's up.
While basic game mechanics stay the same, new pokemon, moves, items, and abilities make a world of difference, especially if you battle competitively. Pokemon that once sucked might be incredible now, and vice versa. New Pokemon might overshadow old ones, or make old ones viable as counters
I just saw a few gameplay videos and it does look pretty good.
Like I said, though, I can wait. But at least I'll have fun with it just like with every other Pokemon game I've played.
Thus far the most annoying pokemon for me:
Emolga: Just for being a derp. Fast, Status Effects, Only thing to really counter it is a rock.
Deerling: Is it me or is this thing just insanely strong? I'm using one and it pretty much took out the 5th Gym by himself and without a Grass move (only Leech Seed if it counts) and even Pignite and it's Stab Fire moves barely manage to take out wild ones.
Watchog: Damn this thing is annoying. Sleep, Confusion, Speediness. Finally a rat that is useful.
Europe got it yesterday. I get it today. America get's it tomorrow.
Just got Black & White a day early again. Started getting the series early since Platinum.
Jumping into the games now.

Robby'll love it.
Managed to get through the victory road and now standing infront of the elite four.

Legendary trio complete!
I think the encounter rate has been risen. Which is kinda nice really. Means you aren't running back for grinding.
Just finished the main story and damn that was awesome.
Special mention goes to my Scrafty Slimjean who singlehandedly took care of three fourths of the elite four and absolutely destroyed my opponent's pokemon in the final boss battle.
Also I can proudly say that I never used a legendary in any important battles and instead stuck with my team (even though Gilgamoth was really useless at times).
Gonna catch some more pokemon now.
First battle against random trainer:
! Croagunk Lvl. 65 :blink:
:D going for the last gym, at Dragonspiral tower rigth now.

Wow, you guys sure blow through the game pretty fast. :blink:
It normally takes me like 80 hours hours to get to the Elite Four.

80? how is that possible, what are you doing leveling the pokemons to level 100 before doing it? :blink:
http://serebii.net/blackwhite/unitytower.shtml we have to do this later guys, I want to get the most countries I can and characters in the tower, after the league ill post my FC.
How 'bout we just make a big post that has everyone's friend code?
Hey, I'm curious does this game have the option of automatically running like in HGSS? Or do I have to keep holding B?
@mdmartin101:

How would you trade over the internet, again?
You need some special cable for the DS, right?
@Badass:

If you have wifi anywhere nearby, the DS can pick up on that and use it.

Really? So my DS lite can pick up on my wireless router?
Well then. Awesome
Since I'm here. Where would you get one of these friend codes for Pokemon games?
@Badass:
Really? So my DS lite can pick up on my wireless router?
Well then. Awesome
Should be able to. At the start menu you have to have it search for a signal first though… but once you have that it's locked into the memory forever.

You have a Pal Pad that gives you your friend code, go online after having the Pal Pad and Nintendo gives you your code.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

Oh, so this Pal Pad is an item you get in-game and once you have it you can go online with it. Okay. Thanks.
@Cyan:

Yeah that would be cool, I'll make one after I finish the league, beating Shaga now, so tomorrow ill ask for people FCs.
Or maybe Robby can put it has a first post or something, it would be better so it doesn't get lost in the thread.
Uh…Just one more question.
I tried to connect my DS with Pokemon HeartGold, and it's asking for my router's WEP key. Now where would I find that? Because I tried typing in every set of numbers on the underside of my router to no avail.

The Wep key is the password from your router.
