Edit: Whoops, misunderstood the post. I guess what I should be saying is that it's possibly not canon that you caught those pokemon since you're not forced to do it in the story like Zekrom/Reshiram.

It appears that the PCs canonical team is based of a starter and any gift pokemon they receive/non-legendary stationary pokemon they encounter. Red's entire team were gift pokes in Yellow.

So the BW PC definitely has a starter and Reshiram/Zekrom. A monkey, Darmanitan-Z, Zoroark and a fossil/Volcarona looks about right, if a little Fire type heavy.

well, thats false, you could catch rayquaza in all the three games R/S/E the different with Emerald was that you could catch Kyogre and Groudon in the game.

EDIT: now i feel stupid fpr reading you're sentence wrong -_-

As others have said, Hilbert/Hilda never caught Kyurem. The ability to capture Kyurem in BW1 is non-canon to the story and was mostly just for the sake of completing the PokeDex at that time. Arguably, everything from BW1's postgame is non-canon; Personally, I only consider the arrest of the Sages to be canon.

But what this means, exactly, is that Kyurem had been ~~chilling~~ in the Giant Chasm since BW1 ended, until Team Plasma came and somehow imprisoned it on their ship.

**Bolt the Cat** · 11th October 2012, 7:21 PM

Anyway, what about the Muskedeer trio? Did Hilbert/Hilda just ignore them or something?

Well you never have to go into the Mistralton cave
And without Cobalion you can't even SEE the other two so...

**Nyarlathotep** · 11th October 2012, 7:26 PM

Since they are in B2W2 is quite obvious that Hilda/Hilbert ignored them.

So many things wrong with this statement. First of all, no, not all of them do, in fact most of them don't. Second, Rt. 15 would serve the purpose of allowing you to backtrack, since you can proceed to Marvellous Bridge and back to Rt. 16, allowing you a way back to earlier areas on foot (the only way back is to either take the airplane from Lentimas Town or use Fly).

**Deadrose** · 11th October 2012, 8:53 PM

Does anybody know if there's a shiny lock on the Muskateers in BW2? I found Cobalion and would like to SR for a shiny if there isn't a lock on them. I'd rather find out before I try if there's a lock or not so I don't waste a lot of time trying for something that will never shine. Thanks in advance.

Edit:Thanks, Endolise. I'm going to start SR for Virizion now, then I'll go back for Cobalion.

No, there's no lock on the Musketeers. Only Reshiram, Zekrom, and Victini have shiny locks.

Actually, I heard they'd added a Shiny lock to them in BW2, though that was shortly after JP release.

This was proven to be incorrect.

So how 'bout those Legendaries, guys? I think White Kyurem is cool...

**gliscor&yanmega** · 11th October 2012, 10:18 PM

I've decided I'll battle and defeat Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion on the first meet, then after I'll go back and try and catch them with the same Pokemon I used to defeat them, probably wont work how I want it to but whatever, if my Pokemon faints I'll just use another, it's not that important for me to stick to my plan.

Hunh that is true. I guess those routes could have been included to get you back to Nimbassa

White Kyurem is not cool. It's a Fire-type. ~~I'm so funny...~~

**~~Endoplasmic Reticulum~~** · 12th October 2012, 6:12 AM

While I prefer Zekrom to Reshiram, I prefer White Kyurem.

And is my computer screen distorted or why is the Kyurem part green instead of blueish/grayish?

**Nyarlathotep** · 12th October 2012, 6:15 AM

I, on other hand, prefer Reshiram to Zekrom, but Kyurem-B over Kyurem-W.
