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?

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.

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?

Yes.

I tried searching in the other forums but I am hoping this one can help me. Is it impossible to get a light ball in Pokemon White or Black? If not, then how can I get it without using any cheating devices?

It is impossible

There were only a few event Pikachu that held a Light Ball, that's the only way anyone was able to obtain one. So you'd have to trade with someone who got one of the events and doesn't need their Light Ball.

is there a difference in power/performance between male & female pokemon? two of my friends insist that female pokemon are weaker than males, are they right or are they just sexist?

[DizzyCobraMew]

Your friends are just sexist, female combee are always better cause they can evolve females can't, nidoran male and female both evolve into awesome Pokémon, but neither one is really better than the other

[Agonist]

in GSC, yes, they were slightly weaker due to the gender being based off the Atk IV (females had a lower IV than males), but this is no longer the case.

[Odin VI]

with breeding a male & a Ditto, does giving the everstone to the male give the 50% chance like it usually does to females?

also does evolving a pokemon in early(by evolution stones, by trade) make it grow faster/stronger? for example does evolving a growlithe at lvl 1 (disregard moves) help its stats in anyway?

In BW the everstone trick works on any pokemon, so giving it to the male will give you a 50% chance to pass it's nature to the offspring

Evolving early does not affect it's stats.

This is a question about wings in Pokemon black
In theory since wings have almost no limits ,if you had a very large amount of wings could you even train a Pokemon without battling?
I'm wondering as I have a lv 100 blastoise that I've had since fire red that I never ever trained as I used it to beat that game so I was wondering if I could use um to make up for the lack of even training

[Agonist]

Yes, you can use the wings to completely train a Pokemon.
