Official Black 2 & White 2 Help thread

In BW2, you can only get shards, Dark, Ground, Poison and Steel gems, and the Everstone.

I'm very sure that is incorrect, you CAN get all kinds of gems from dust clouds in B/W 2.

But what I find weird is the exclusivity of the items you can get from dust clouds. I've gotten plenty of Rock Gems in Twist Mountain and Electric Gems in Chargestone Cave.

well, while I do get Electric Gems in Chargestone, I almost never get a Rock Gem in the Twist Mountain......

I dunno... that's what Bulbapedia states: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Phenomena

Bulbapedia's article is incomplete, which it states at the top of the page, which is coupled with the incapability to assume things until someone's found the exact item themself (They refuse to acknowledge that Ash's Charizard is male, for example, because nobody on the show explicitly stated it, only heavily, heavily implied it).

Quick question, if I get White 2 and do the key thing where I change White Forest to Black City and do the Tower challenge and beat Benga(Banjirou) will I recieve the shiny Gible or will it still be the shiny Dratini?

[Birds of Paradise]

Do you have to wait until beating the E4 before being able to find/enter hidden grottos? Cause there is one on route 3 and the hidden grotto pokemon are lvl 55-60, so I can't imagine being able to catch hidden grotto pokemon after first starting the game..

[Kanethedragon]

You can go to Liberty Garden as soon as you reach Castelia City. There's nothing much there, though.

Except, of course the small victini reminiscing event if you had a liberty garden victini (which in my case thankfully, I have one. Sadly that isn't so for everyone.)

BTW, anybody figure out yet if it's possible to do memory link twice from one copy of either pokemon black or white?

Route 3 is not reachable before the E4, so that's why the level's are so high on Route 3. I think you're able to find/enter them before beating the E4.

Hello!
Sorry to ask this but I read on serebii website that I can find an Eevee in Castelia City.
I'm not searching for the ones in the park but I'm searching for the gifted one.
I tried to talk to fennel and the 2 other people but nobody gave me the Eevee.
Do I have to wait later?
I just won the 3 badge and was going to route 4.
Thanks for your answer!

I believe that one was an after E4 event.

So then...just how soon/where is the first available hidden grotto pre-elite four?

Oh, if you're right, I have to wait then...
I will continue to play then (with the Eevee I caught in the park).
Thanks for your answer ^^ !

Cause there is one on route 3

Actually, there are two Grottos in Route 3.

Route 5 and Lostlorn Forest, but the one in Floccesy Ranch is accessible as soon as you get there if you have a Pokemon that knows Surf.

Funnily enough, we can visit the one in Lostlorn Forest or Floccesy Ranch before we visit the one in Route 5, yet the "tutorial" given by Bianca about the Grotto will always happen only in the one on Route 5.

Quick question, if I get White 2 and do the key thing where I change White Forest to Black City and do the Tower challenge and beat Benga(Banjirou) will I recieve the shiny Gible or will it still be the shiny Dratini?

Banjirou will appear only on the original facility, since you have White 2, that means Banjirou will appear only in White Forest's Treehollow.

He won't appear if you change the area, he will be replaced by a Veteran instead. If you beat the Veteran instead of Banjirou, that counts as beating a Veteran, not beating Banjirou, so you won't get a shiny, until you swap the City back into the Forest and challenge Banjirou.

That sucks, I really wanted the shiny Gible instead of the Dratini

When exactly can you access memory link? I wanted to hook the games up as soon as possible.

Thank you very much ^-^. Even if my team isn't that high lvl at that point I still want to try to catch a grotto pokemon as soon as I can

It's cool that we can trade between BW & B2W2. I obtained my Washibon on B2 with this.
Just about the heylink missions, the missions where you have to find 5 objets in the clouds: which advices do you have?
Because I only found 4 objets because of the Onix and other Pokémon that battle with me.

[Psychic Politoed]

Does the wi-fi method of connecting your old B/W file to your new B/W 2 file work by searching for your accomplishments from your last game sync?

I want to connect my Black file to Black 2 with my latest Musical Prop and Battle Subway accomplishments, but does it only do that for the last game sync you made by tucking in a Pokemon?

[Mameshiba]

I have a question about Memory Link. I have White1, but I preordered Black2. Will Memory Link not work as it is suppose to because I didn't get White's squeal? Should I call GameStop to ask if they can switch my preorder? I don't want to be penalized in my game, just because I wanted the other version. :x

There is no penalty for doing so. It doesn't matter if Black links with Black 2 or if White links with Black 2. The only restriction, at least as far as I know, is that they have to be of the same language.

That is great news! :'D Thank you! The people at the cashier were making me nervous "you sure you want Black 2 and not White 2" ><;

I have a question I'm trying to collect all pokemon for the shining charm but it's says

"capture all the Pokémon in the National Pokédex (not counting event legends) "

does it count the event legends from old gens or does it mean Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect

and I should have Mew and Celebi and all old events to get the shining charm

Event legends counts all of them. Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Phione (I think), Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, & Genesect

[Psychic Politoed]

I guess I will make a check of things regarding memory link?

Do you need to put in the Black (White) 2 Gamesync ID into Global Link?

How many times can you actually transfer the memory link from your old game to your new game?

Does your latest Game Sync (i.e. tucking in a Pokemon) allow you to transfer your music props, subway trophies, etc.?

[de_darkrai]

You just need one time on that memory link's stuff
