Why is my name in the scrolling text in the hallways?

[Rakurai]

If you beat the E4 again, the news report will make an announcement about it, and list your name, along with those of all of your Pokemon.

I'm guessing that's what it is.

Here's a video of the scrolling text - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDFzvdzoq-o

I'm guessing part of it is about a Smeargle swarm on route 5.

Yeah, it's as Rakurai said above. It's congratulating you for beating the elite four.

And yeah, you're right about route 5

There are a lot of Pokemon on Route 5!! October 5th

Route 9: Very strong lightning clouds!!

Congratulations to trainer raz for getting into the hall of fame with Kyurem, Embuo, Basurao, Washibon, Alakazam and Urugamosu!

(repeat)

[raz1337]

Wait, is the very strong lightning clouds where the genie is roaming?

[Rakurai]

Wait, is the very strong lightning clouds where the genie is roaming?

Yeah. But don't count on it being there when you get there.

However, it will come back sooner or later if you move between that route and another, though, as it roams a small part of the region that varies based on the time of the day, as opposed to the whole place.

Is there any chance that serebii made a mistake about the capture rates of reshiram, zekrom and the fighting trio? Zekrom seemed a little more difficult to catch than a 45 catch rate poke, and the other 3 went inside ultra balls after 2 o 3 attempts :S

The catch rates for all the Pokemon on the main site are accurate. Those have been posted on other sites so they look fine. I think catching certain Pokemon is always up to chance, regardless of catch rate.

How hard is it to play through Pokemon Black/White without knowing any Japanese?

It's actually pretty easy to play Black and White since all you're really doing is battling. If you get stuck then you just come to a thread like this and we'll help you out.

[Domiciwah]

it fixes itself when you sync you access the global link via the C-Gear. At least it did for me

ok, so on the c-gear, I click wifi and it says continue (i think) yes or no, so i click yes and then it doesn't do anything... it just goes back to the three choices of wifi, wireless and IR.

anybody else getting this?

pick the wifi option, not the wireless option.

Things like moves, and pokemon might be a problem within battling though, though I suppose after a while you'd recognise some of them.

Yes you'd learn to recognize moves and Pokemon after a few battles and stuff. Like I said, it's not all that hard; especially if you've played Pokemon games before. There's always the main site which contains valuable information on Black and White and this thread where you can ask about anything not on the site

[Domiciwah]

lol Thats what my post said i did. :-)

[Chris-kun]

lol Thats what my post said i did. :-)

does it load up to a screen of Musharna? do you have pokemon in your PC?

[Domiciwah]

No it doesn't, I think I must have misunderstood something, I had no idea I had to have a 'mon in my pc...

[Louispierce]
