I have a Global Link problem. It says my username and password are incorrect, even after I went to the 'forgot my username' and 'reset my password' options. I'm pretty upset about it, because I had a lot of items on my Dream World and all of the available C-Gear Skins in my country. Is there somebody with the same problem?

This is not the place and we are not the ones to ask. The Global Link has its own support team, and they are the only ones who would be able to troubleshoot issues you have with your account.

I contacted them many times. Seems like I could never login anymore.

Hi, not sure if I'm posting in the right place as this is my first post here on SerebiiForums, but here it goes.

First, I should probably tell you what my current team as well as Pokemon stored in my PC as it is relevant to my question:
Team: Servine lv. 19, Tranquill lv. 22, Blitzle lv. 16, Roggenrola lv. 20, Panpour lv. 13, Pansear lv. 15
PC Pokemon: Audino lv. 15, Pansage lv. 15, Tympole lv. 13, Lillipup lv. 14, Munna lv. 16, Throh lv. 19

When I first got the Hidden Move: Cut I must have taught it to one of my Pokemon and then set it free because I can't find it anywhere in my PC or Team. I could have swore I taught it to Lillipup though... Anyway, my question is, I don't know what Pokemon I should teach this move to, as HMs are hard to forget. I had only just got my third gym badge, I haven't even left Castelia yet, so I'm not that far in the game, and yes this is my first playthrough. I don't want to ruin the balance of my team and regret using the HM later. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Also if you have any suggestions for my team it would be great!

There IS a move deleter at Mistralton City which you could use, no charges involved. I'd teach it to one of the Pokemon you'll always be bringing around, since I usually don't like to withdraw one of my guys from the PC just because I found a tree in the middle of the road with an item beyond it. Check out the movesets and chuck the HM on a Pokemon that doesn't have such a diverse moveset (Serperior comes to mind).

I love my Snivy/Servine soon to be Serperior too much too teach it cut lol.

Hey there, was wondering if someone would be willing to let me trade them each starter to trade back so I can have all three in one game...

I went back to White to get the full set of Props to have in my Black 2, but fans have stopped giving me any after performances. I'm not doing anything different.

Anybody have any idea what's going on? I know I don't have all of them since I've been checking them off.

How do I start getting Props again?

[E-V]

This question has probably been asked 100 times already, but I'm too lazy to search through all the pages of this thread. I want to explore the Abyssal Ruins. I have Dive on a Luvdisc. When I try to dive down to the Abyssal Ruins, I can see the entrance to the ruins below me, but all I do is float in the middle of the water for a second, and then the screen goes white and I return to the surface. Do I need to have Dive on something other than a Luvdisc? Is there some item I need to get that I haven't gotten yet?

[Agonist]

Which direction are you traveling? If you go the wrong way, you get brought back to the surface iirc.

"A maniac will buy it for a high price."

I got some berries from the dream world and I was wondering where this said "Maniac" is and how much these berries will go for.

Wepear Berry x3
Pinap Berry x5
Cornn Berry x2
Magost Berry x3
Watmel Berry x1

Thanks.

So I put a new battery in my DS lite today, without knowing it'd reset junk.

Here's the weird thing: it reset my info to factory condition (e.g. nickname, color, time, date etc) but when I loaded Black 2 and checked the wifi info, ready to input it all again and get used to a new FC...it was all still there. I logged onto GTS to retrieve my pokemon just to check, and yeah, everything's fine. Same FC, same wifi ID.

And I'm like 'huh, what happened here?'

So don't get me wrong, I'm real happy all my wifi ID data and stuff is intact, but how come it wasn't deleted along with all the basics (time date etc)?

Have you tried the Item collector at Route 5?

Any way got my own questions about GTS and GTS negotiations.

So I learned that with GTS, I can only trade pokemons that I already encountered in the game and I cannot ask for ones that I haven't encountered. Is this true? How about in GTS negotiations, is there a limit like in GTS or can I ask for any pokemon in GTS negotiations?

I want to have the 1st and 2nd Gen starters and an eevee. Is Dream world the only way acquire them?

Thanks in advance.

People can offer any pokemon they own in GTS Negotiations, so your partner may offer things you've never seen in your own pokedex, whereas yes, with the basic GTS you can only request things you've seen.
Not sure about the gen 1 and 2 starters (you're probably right about dream world) but on Black/White 2 you can get an Eevee given to you in Castelia City. Hope I've helped!

Okay, I've been wondering about this, because it's something I've done in both Black and White at least once, and I still have no clue at all how I did it (because, incidentally, I've always been looking elsewhere when I managed it. I have tried and failed to duplicate it while looking.)
Picture
An attack stat viewing screen in single battle on which you can move between the attacks by touching the relevant spot on the select bar at the bottom (you hit B to go back to the normal battle screen and select your attack normally, though)

Anyone know about this?

is it possible to train pokemon to lvl100 and then ev train it? is this method worse than ev training at lvl 1?

and if you level up a low level pokemon and it goes say 15 levels from defeating 1 pokeomn, is that bad? do they perform less than a pokemon that has been trained against its own levels?

Yes, you can EV train Level 100 Pokemon starting from Generation V. There is no difference in terms of the final stats of the Pokemon.

No, that is not bad. It will have less EVs than a normally-trained Pokemon, but that can easily be remedied by EV training them.

this may sound silly, but how do you know the ev's are going into the stat if there are no more levels to gain? do the numbers in the stats screen (e.g special attack) rise without gaining levels when EV training at lvl 100?

Eevee is available in DW and can be caught in-game in B2/W2 (and you even get one for free in Castelia, but it is post-game and again, is B2/W2 only)

1st and 2nd Gen starters are not available in DW.
Well the 1st Gen starters are available, but only through an event that already passed a long time ago, and even then the event is Japanese & Korean only.

Yes.
