Official Black & White Help thread (Ask your questions here)

[bonustime]

so I feel like I must be retarded or something because I am getting stuck on a registration step I've not even seen anybody mention

I know it can't be mandatory to be part of Pokemon daisuki club to use global link but I can't find any way to get through this screen
am I mistaken about this being about pokemon daisuki club?
have I somehow gotten into the wrong registration process?

[aalyphaa]

check your email, you will get one that gives you an ID number, it is that number that you use to log in.

Also, I think that we might want to make a seperate thread that has this translated info.

[Rakurai]

I actually tried something different. I went on Internet Explorer and off of Google Chrome and I got the skin (I guess Google Chrome was glitching up or something), so now that problem's solved. But now I have another problem - getting the skin on my game. I figured all I'd need to do was select Game Sync, but when it connects to Wi-Fi, I get this message, and then I'm forced off Wi-Fi. Here's the screenshot:

It says something about the Game Sync's "Energy" (I think), but what else is it talking about? Can anyone help me out here? Do I need to go somewhere to get things like the skins?

You can only take one Pokemon out of the Dream World a day.

Which essentially means you can only change your C-Gear and Pokedex skins once a day, too, as taking a Pokemon out of the Dream World is when the skins you choose are applied.

[yaminokame]

; - ; And could you translate the wifi menu too? lol.

Like the different battle options and things.

I'm desperate. :cry:

Enter Pokemon Wi-Fi Club and go to the back monitor. There will be 5 choices and they will be as follows:

1) Voice Chat
2) Live Caster
3) Battle
4) Trade
5) Quit

If you choose option 3; Battle, then you get to choose what types of battles you are looking for. The layout looks somewhat like this by default:

1) Battle Style: Single Battle
2) Battle Rules: No Rules
3) Miracle Shooter: Enabled
4) Accept
5) See Rules
6) Quit

By choosing option 1, Battle Style, above you will be given these options:

1.1) Single Battle
1.2) Double Battle
1.3) Triple Battle
1.4) Rotation Battle
1.5) Quit

Choosing any of them will bring you back to the previous menu. Next, pressing the 'A' button on Battle Rules will bring you to a screen similar to:

2.1) No Rules
2.2) Flat Level (Pokemon are reduced to level 50)
2.3) Quit

Again, choosing any of the options will bring you back to the previous menu. The next option that you can change is for the miracle shooter. Hitting 'A' on that option brings up a screen similar to:

3.1) Miracle Shooter Enabled
3.2) Miracle Shooter Disabled
3.3) Quit

[Dragard]

I'm curious. In Hiun City, there are several people who you can show a Pokemon too, and then several options come up after that. Anyone know what they want?

[jtchinoy]

Hey guys, I'm have trouble with that screenshot about the dream world energy.
It says that the dream world energy has run out and you have to wait a day to recharge it. I've waited 3 days and it still won't work. Is there something I missed? I have a munna and musharna in my pokebox, and I've tried game syncing on 2 different DS systems.

[aalyphaa]

you couldn't have waited for three days, it has only been up for 24 hours so far.

[LV100]

Thanks so much Yaminokame!

So I guess there isn't a lv100 battle anymore? There went IV checks. ._.

[jtchinoy]

you couldn't have waited for three days, it has only been up for 24 hours so far.

I've been trying to upload since saturday. Last I checked you were always able to upload, but you couldn't do anything with the upload.

[StrongBad456]

I've been trying to upload since saturday. Last I checked you were always able to upload, but you couldn't do anything with the upload.

I'm pretty sure you couldn't even upload anything until today. Now you can though.

[Rakurai]

How do I raise levels in High Link? Just do stuff in another person's game? I assume this also means that I would need both Black and White to raise both Black and White levels, or do I just need another game and it doesn't matter which?

Pretty sure you need someone with the version of the other color to max out your levels, as you seem to gain levels in the color of their version whenever you do missions, and gain levels in the color of your version whenever you complete a set of six missions.

Though I haven't actually stumbled across someone with the same version as me to clarify this or not.

[Road]

I really hate to ask because I know it's in this thread somewhere, but um...For the love of me, I can't start the sign-up process for the global link. I think I just enter my email and birthday on the main screen, right?

(Maybe we need a step-by-step instruction somewhere? >w>)

[yaminokame]

Okay, I've added registration stuff:

    Spoiler:- finding game sync ID code:

Need help with a good Physical moveset for Daikenki. Its got 182 attack and 179 special attack and knows Surf, Ice Beam, Slash and Revenge. It has special moves cause it used to be full special.

[Shine]

When entering Global Link through http://www.poemon-gl.com/ you will be required to sign-in using your Pokemon Daisuki Club account.

Where's the "k"?

Need help with a good Physical moveset for Daikenki. Its got 182 attack and 179 special attack and knows Surf, Ice Beam, Slash and Revenge. It has special moves cause it used to be full special.

You can make it Mixed, since the difference between its Atk & SAtk isn't much.

Daikenki
~Surf/Boiling Water
~Return
~X-Scissor/Megahorn/Ice Beam
~Revenge/Aqua Jet

Revenge to take advantage of its rather low Speed, or Aqua Jet for a priority move, which is nice to have on a slower Pokemon like Daikenki.

Two questions:

Why is the fire/bug Pokemon interactable and level 70?

Is there a guide to help with/translate the multi battles in the subway so I can start them?

[Shine]

Two questions:

Why is the fire/bug Pokemon interactable and level 70?

Because it is?
There's a level 70 one deep inside the Ancient Castle, accessible only after you finish the E4.

Consider it like that Rotom in D/P/Pt, not a legendary but is interactable anyway.

[ScarletDevil]

Is there anyone with a japanese copy of pokemon heart gold/soul silver or any of the sinnoh games that can help me transfer my pokemon to my white version?

I don't have a japanese version of any of those games and it won't let me transfer my pokemon to White version. If anyone is willing to help, i'll trade my pokemon that i want to move to my white version to your japanese copy of DPPt or HGSS and then you transfer them to your black or white version and finally trade them to my White version.

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask but i would really appreciate it if someone took the time to do this for me

Hm... Anyone know when is the earliest you can get the Dream Eater TM and the Fossil?

Hm... Anyone know when is the earliest you can get the Dream Eater TM and the Fossil?

TM 85 is only available post-Elite Four when you get more access to the Abandoned Lot of Dreams. The fossils are available after you get the third Gym badge, in the desert between Hiun City and Raimon City.
