And besides, the only damage that could logically be done by turning off the power/freezing while saving would be losing your progress since your last save.

Here's a diagram.
____________________________________
|------------------Save file (512kb)-------------------|
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
| Current Save (256kb) | Previous Save (256kb)|
|_________________|__________________|

When you load your save file, it loads the save file from the Current Save half of the save file.
Whenever you save your game, it saves over the Previous Save part of the save file, which becomes the Current Save part (and the Current Save part becomes the Previous Save.)
That way, the worst that could happen would be losing all your progress since your last save file.
This can suck sometimes, but it's certainly better than losing all of your save data.

Me and my brother got the event Keldeo and I'm just wondering if you have to make it learn Secret Sword in BW2 for it to go Resolute Forme or if taking Keldeo and the other Musketeers to the Icirrus Moor and having it learn Secret Sword there then transferring Keldeo to BW2 will also get it to go Resolute Forme because although I haven't made my Keldeo learn Secret Sword in BW1 my brother has made his learn Secret Sword.

It should turn into Resolution Forme in B2/W2 no matter what, as long as it has Secret Sword.
(Worst that could happen would be having to delete Secret Sword and re-learning it in B2/W2.)

That's just the framerate dropping. The DS can't really handle that sort of thing, but developers do it anyway.

It was far worse than what you think.My whole third gym battle was in slow motion and i thought my game froze twice.:'(
Well at least i'm pretty sure my game in not a fake.I restarted it.maybe this time it will work.

[BCVM22]

And that isn't normal game behavior. Something in the chain - your game or your system - isn't working properly.

it's an everywhere area, you can access it after you have 5000 dream points in the DW & all 8 badges in your journey...

[Shine]

and to visit it more often you have to tuck in a Water-Type Pokemon into the Dream World.

Hello guys. I've made some trades. I got a Charmeleon and a Tyranitar who have the ability Sand Stream but I have a problem. Two of my pokemon that I just got have each have a pokerus. If I plan to EV a pokemon who drank 10 Carbos, equipped with a Macho Brace and a pokerus for the 252 Speed, how many Basculins I have to beat? If a Pokemon who drank 10 proteins, have a pokerus, equipped with the Macho Brace, and a pokerus, how many Lilpups/Patrats I have to beat? THe pokerus could be a problem.

pkrs is never a problem. I think it's 19 basculin and 38 patrat/lillipup. someone correct me if I'm wrong (didn't look up macho brace, but iirc it doubled EV gain, right?)

Basculin is worth 2 Speed EVs, and Macho Brace doubles EV count. Pokerus stacks with Macho Brace/Power items, and also doubles EV count. So each Basculin would be worth 2*2*2, or 8, Speed EVs. Each Carbos is worth 10 Speed EVs. If you give a Pokemon 10 Carbos (10*10 = 100), and you want 252 Speed EVs, 252-100 is 152. 152/8 is 19. So you will have to defeat 19 Basculin.

If you use the Power Anklet, though, it puts +4 Speed EVs on whatever it is that you're fighting, so Basculin would be (2+4)*2, or 12, EVs each. 152/12 = 13 Basculin that you would have to fight.

I'm not sure how many EVs you want to put into Attack, so I'm assuming it's 252 again. So you give your Pokemon 10 Proteins (10*10=100 Atk EVs), and 252-100 = 152 EVs left. Then you are fighting Patrat/Lillipup, and those are worth 1 Atk EV each. You have a Macho Brace and Pokerus. 1*2*2 = 4, so each Lillipup/Patrat is worth 4 Attack EVs. 152/4 = 38 Patrats/Lillipups that you have to fight.

If you used the Power Bracer, each Patrat/Lillipup would be worth (1+4)*2, or 10, Attack EVs. So then you would only have to fight 152/10, or 16, Lillipups/Patrats.

I see. If that's true, then the pokerus must be a good thing for EV training, right? Let's see. If my math is correct,

152 EV left, then pokerus and wearing a Macho Brace, it will be 4 times the EVs for each Basculin defeated that worth 2 EVs for Speed, then it will have 8EVs for each Basculins defeated. And if the pokemon have 152 left for EVs Speed, then having a pokerus,and wearing a macho brace, then I have to beat 19 Basculins.

Haha, yes, Pokerus is GREAT for EV-training. Training without it is a lot more tedious. And yes, you did that math right - you have to beat 19 Basculins

Ok. Thank you for that one. But I have few more things to ask. Are the Ubers pokemon are legal for the wi-fi battles,Battle Subway, Pokemon World Tournaments,and Video Games Championship tournaments? Are the Uber pokemon are good things or bad things? If not, then I will use the Overused-tiers pokemon since it happens to be the most powerful if I'm not mistaken.

Depends on the Uber. Garchomp, Excadrill, and Speed Boost Blaziken are allowed. The rest of them are not.

[2rsa]

did you try it on different dss?

No.but now that you mention.Something likes this happened before.maybe its my DS.I'll check it on different systems next time its happens.I restarted the game and nothing is wrong with it at the moment.
