Black 2 & White 2 Recent Happenings Thread

[Fexus]

Filled out the Habitat List completely yesterday. Is there some sort of prize I get for that? So far the chances are looking slim...

Well now I'm at 284 caught for the Unova Pokedex, just need like 13 or so more to go.

Episode 52: Nate and the Sunshine Gym Leaders
Finally arrived in Undella Town and once again, there were some changes in two years.
The Riches are absent (only the selling excentric man is there), there's a underwater passage to Humilau City, but there's an old man blocking the way.
And about Cynthia's Summer house, I rushed inside the Villa but there was an old woman.
Wait a momento! Last time I checked, this game happens TWO years after the White events, NOT FIFTY.
But then, the old woman said she wasn't Cynthia and she mentioned Cynthia was busy investigating some myths (or kicking some boys' asses with Garchomp's Dragon Rush).
After the usual exploring, I faced Hugh and he had a crappy team with ONLY three Pokémon, while I had a full team before facing Clay (I rushed a little in that department). Anyway, the battle was easier than stealing a baby's candy.
I have now to go to Route 13, but I'll explore the adjacent routes.

Episode 53: Blocked ways here, there and everywhere
Since I can't go to the beach, because I don't have a sexy, pretty, young and horny girl with me. I continued my journey in order to talk to Drayden about Reshiram and Zekrom.
But first, Route 14 was the first place I explored, but the waterfalls didn't help me, so no way to Abudant Shrine (and to the Three Genies of the Lamp).
And I couldn't go to White Forest for silly reasons, just a group of men doing silly things, nothing more.
About Undella Bay, I don't have access to the Diving spots and the Seaside Cave was blocked by a Black Belt and his Sturdy (stupid) Roggenrolas, however I managed to explore the bay properly.
Now, it's missing Route 13.

Episode 54: Good/Bad Luck Route (if you know what I mean) and the Lost Muskedeer
Route 13 is the longest road in the Unova region, so exploring business is going to take a lot of time.
The Ace Trainer gives me a Flute everyday (Hilbert said I could get awesomesauce items like King's Rocks and Lucky Eggs, that liar), but the Trainer said he doesn't find as many items as he would have found two years ago.
Since the Route is big, I didn't end the travel empty-handed because I obtained TM29 (Psychic), now Lucario can learn the Psychic Force, now it lacks Dragon Pulse and Force Aura (Aura Sphere).
And to get the best of both worlds, the final Evolution in my main team happened there, where Vibrava finally evolved into Flygon (my favorite Pokémon), which kept Dragon Breath instead of learning Dragon Tail.
Now I have a fully evolved team.
I couldn't do a sidetrip to the Giant Chasm due to a boulder blocking the way and because the water way was blocked by some rocks.
Obtained DW Skorupi from the Hidden Grotto (Sniper is better than Keen Eye so I'll trade the scorpion sooner or later) after getting out of the Grotto I saw a familiar face.
When my eyes gazed upon the Muskedeer from the Route 6, the time around me stopped and I saw Cobalion's fierce determination.
Looks like this is going to be my first Legendary Battle and the most challenging one.

[Shadow XD001]

I guess I'm going to try and complete the Unova Pokedex now. Does anyone know if you have to see event Pokemon such as Genesect in order to complete the Unova Pokedex?

Nope. You should be able to get Genesect with the Wi-Fi event, though.

Haven't updated in a while. I finally caught all the legendaries a while ago and made some progress in the PWT and PokéStar Studios. Cobalion was such a b*tch to catch because it took me 80 Ultra Balls to catch the damn thing. In the PWT, I still need to beat Sinnoh Leaders (came close TWICE), World Leaders x10, and Champion Leaders. Ugh. I also have a few more films left in PokéStar Studios. Today, I finished Areas 7 and 8 on Black Tower so just two more left now. I'll finish up those two tomorrow and then work on PWT and PokéStar Studios. Filming should be somewhat easy, but I can imagine PWT being a pain, like it has been this whole time. On top of all this, I've been doing some of the daily battles like my rival, Colress, etc. Not working on the PokéDex.... yet.

Team:
Emboar - Level 85
Dragonite - Level 85
Metagross - Level 86
Jolteon - Level 85
Golurk - Level 85
Carracosta - Level 85

I need about 15 more levels each for my team to be at level 100 but that could still take a while. At least I haven't had school this week, so far.

[johno1995]

Haven't played much at all, but I managed to make a lot of progress today...

- Did a lot of training - Skorupi and Vibrava evolved before I challenged Drayden
- Used Move Relearner to teach Drapion Ice Fang
- Thanks mostly to Drapion, Azumarill & Flygon (with Maractus surprisingly getting rid of Haxorus), I defeated Drayden
- Took care of Team Plasma, blah blah blah
- Made it to Humilau with EXP Share on Metang, evolved to Metagross
- Used Shards to teach Maractus Drain Punch
- In the Humilau Gym as we speak, challenging trainers (:

Challengers Cave

So I finally cleared Challengers Cave-oh wait that's right it wasn't the Challengers Cave, it was the Wellspring Cave. It might as well be though, it's pretty damn tough. It took me a couple hours to clear it, mainly because of those damn full veteran battles and how stubborn I get about the Pokemon with the Lucky Egg getting the exp (kept on reviving them). Oh well after some frustration I finally cleared it, then caught N's Woobat. Took another like 20 minutes to change over my 30+ Pokemon in the PC, saved and called it a day. Next time I will do the final leg of Southeastern Unova

[Birds of Paradise]

Just recently finished the unova dex, and the last pokemon I needed to get was....swoobat XD. Figures that I left a happiness evolution for last. After that I traded/migrated a bunch of pokemon from my pearl and HG so I can work on getting the shining charm. I evolved the ones that still needed evolution and now I'm actually "hunting" on my HG for others that I'll need. But now I have a bunch of pokemon that need an evolution by leaf stone and moon stone so I'll be dust cloud hunting very shortly. My team so far:

Keldeo
Electivire
Shiny Ninetales
Flygon-->replacing with the shiny haxorus or shiny gible when I get around to them
Espeon

I'll also need to travel/battle my way over to the breeding center because I have a bunch of fully evolved pokemon that I need the basic form for my pokedex. So far for the national dex I have obtained 410..getting there

[Fexus]

It took me a couple hours to clear it, mainly because of those damn full veteran battles and how stubborn I get about the Pokemon with the Lucky Egg getting the exp (kept on reviving them).

A couple hours?? For Wellspring Cave? I hope that includes times you were distracted or doing something else, otherwise that is an absolute snail's pace!

[★ Mr. Mime ★]

Haven't updated in quite a while but I still haven't beaten the game since I started it on release day. I just defeated Ghetsis and I'm now on my way to the Pokemon League with all my Pokemon at level 50+.

I got through the giant chasm, beat all of the plasmas, beat the sage and Colress, and I beat black kyurem and ghetsis. Now I'm on my way to victory road.

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

The Penultimate Stretch

Well I mainly traveled from Striaton to Accumula, which surprisingly took a long time I have no clue why. I haven't caught N's final Pokemon yet, I was too tired but I do plan to do that now. The trainers got a bit tougher for some reason, but there were fortunately not many of them (I laughed at the trainers that had the regional rodents and birds). Now I plan to catch N's final Pokemon, then head on out towards the P2 Lab

[Ciccone]

I entered the Relic Castle after training in the Desert Resort, and I captured a wild Yamask there. I headed back to Nimbasa City after that, and I went to Elesa's old Gym. I battled a couple trainers inside, then I went to the new Gym. I had an easy time battling against the trainers on the catwalk, then I arrived at the main stage where Elesa was. I challenged her to a battle with Flaaffy, and she used Emolga. Unfortunately, she swapped to Zebstrika, so I used Krokorok instead. I defeated Zebstrika with Dig, then I used Darumaka's Fire Punch on her Flaaffy. That was enough to defeat it, then I used my own Flaaffy against Emolga. Things weren't working out, and after Elesa healed Emolga, I switched to Lucario and I defeated Emolga with Strength. I won the Nimbasa City Gym battle, and I obtained the Bolt Badge. I left the Gym and I healed my Pokemon at the local Pokemon Center.

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

The Ending is the Beginning!

Man taking on route 17 and 18 sure took awhile. There were some really powerful veteran trainers (with level 70 pseudo legends!), and a triple battle that I actually lost to. There was also this one area which I could not for the life of me figure out how the hell to get there, and it took me like a half hour going all over the place trying to figure it out. I eventually figured out the way, but a damn swimmer spotted me and the place she moved to was blocking my path so I took a current back to the beginning. While I was there I decided to rotate my party, and take out Genesect so I could trigger the event at the P2 lab. I battled the scientist, who was pathetically underleveled (they really should have not been lazy and instead of taking the exact event from BW1, they should have at least upped his levels a bit). I then entered the Frigate and explored it a bit, but didn't battle Colress as I wish to save him for later. Lastly, I went to that area that took me forever to figure out how to get to, and battled that one trainer and obtained those two items (really worth it eh?).

I then returned to Accumula and headed for Nuvema, but on the way Bianca challenged me to a battle. I knew she was going to do that, but I thought I would have a choice, and I was completely unprepared for it, and I wanted to save her for later. But I beat her thanks to my Haxorus. Funny story, I switched out to my Zoroark when Musharna was out, and because it was disguised as Staraptor, it kept trying to use psychic attacks on me but failed. Then I entered my final destination of the Unova region - Nuvema and I explored it a bit.

Well now that I have been through the entire Unova region, there's not much left to do. I still have a few things to take care of, starting with the Celestial Tower challenge

[Pilpulp]

Post 1: Slow Beginnings ~ White 2 Challenge Mode Playthrough!

Started the game, put it on Challenge Mode straight after beating Black 2. Started my game, entered in all details. Spoke with the mom. Went outside the door. Talked to the rival, it's amazing how you actually understand what he's talking about now (Sister's purloin being stolen; you can tell that's what he's talking about). After that, he started following me. Remembered I didn't have a starter. Saved the game ~ done for now.

Yes, I don't know what starter to pick!! My full planned team is in RMT Gen 5. Please read it and help! I might choose tepig, or should I choose tepig and box it? PM Me, or go to the RMT Gen 5 under "BW2 Hard Mode Team".

[neo darkrai]

Autumn. I started off the new season by getting the two items in Route 20 that are only available in this season. Now for the Black Tower. Holy crap. I've gotten so much experience and money. My entire team grew six levels. And they were at the low seventies. That's a lot of experience. I'm not even done either. I'm completed up to Area 7. It's starting to get challenging as they catch up to me. I can't wait to see how Area 10 will be like. One complaint I have is that the Pokémon I see in the Black Tower don't add to my Seen number in the Pokédex. Oh well.

[Alexander18]

I am currently still trainning pokemon, breed a Cubchoo cause it only appears in winter, got my shiny Dratini all the way to Dragonite now. Finishing some stuff in other game.

[Winter02]

Went out to the Marvelous Bridge, picked up a few wings and captured a Swanna. Also met a man who wanted to sell me a Magikarp, but couldn’t get it since I had a full party. Will have to get back here and get it later on. Next, I arrived at Route 15, battled all trainers here, picked up all items and captured a Sandslash. Also checked the Poketransfer Lab, but didn’t use it yet, will wait with it for a bit. Beyond Route 15 was the final destination for me… Black City! I explored it, but there wasn’t much to see here. Just some empty houses and a giant Tower which I couldn’t get anywhere in at the moment.

Flew to Route 4 and captured the Mandibuzz here since I have forgotten to capture it on all previous Thursdays it has been here on. Then, I went to Undella Town. Surfed out to the Bay and used Dive to get down into the sea here, picked up a few items in the ruins but couldn’t stay down there for very long due to the common torrents of water in the area. Exited and went back to Undella Town again. There was one house here which interested me… Inside of it, I met Cynthia, the legendary Champion from the Sinnoh Region. She challenged me to a battle, which I accepted. I defeated her, she was quite tough but not as hard as Colress.

I exited the house after beating her and flew to Striaton City. This time, I battled against Cilan and Chili with Cress by my side, me and the blue-haired watery man won the battle. With that done, I went back to Aspertia City. I have explored all of Unova, but since the season changed today, I am going to travel through the region again to see what has changed with the new season. Will also check out all the Gyms along the way. I captured a Goldeen in Aspertia and went out to Route 19. Travelled through it and arrived at Floccesy Town. There, I entered Alders house. He challenged me to a battle.

I won against him, he wasn’t as tough as some other trainers like Colress, Cheren or Bianca, which is a bit surprising since he is a former Champion after all. After the battle, his grandson appeared and introduced himself as the boss of the Black Tower in Black City. He invited me to come there and challenge him… and I guess I should, sometime in the future. I headed out to Route 20, noticed the nice change in the music here. The autumn leaves also allowed me to get a few items I hadn’t been able to get earlier. Went up to the Floccesy Ranch and captured a Psyduck in the grass there.

Exited the Ranch and went to Virbank City. Captured a Qwilfish and a Krabby through fishing, then I took the boat to Castelia City. Went down to the Sewers and saw that all the water was gone, so the area I could explore this time was very limited. Didn’t find anything of interest though. Exited the Sewers and the City as well and went out to Route 4 and further on to the Desert Resort. There, I met and captured N’s Darumaka. Exited the place and headed on to Nimbasa City, then to the Drawbridge and Driftveil City. I went to the house were Old Team Plasma had their headquarters and met my Rival there. He challenged me to a battle, and I won. But he was tougher than I had expected, even if it might be stupid of me to not expect my Rival to not put up a serious fight. Will continue with going through the rest of the region tomorrow, I’ll stay at one of the hotels in Driftveil for the night even if they are all fully booked.

Episode 55: The Cobalt Sword of Justice
Like I said previously, facing Cobalion was quite challenging, the Battle Intro was as epic as the one two years ago (yeah, if it isn't broken, don't fix it) and the Battle Theme didn't help me either, it was so epically distorting.
Decided to use Arcanine against the Legendary Pokémon, which weakened with Dig, then I started spamming Ultra Balls hoping I could catch Cobalion, since it wasn't night time.
It took a few Ultra Balls and three Pokémon, Cobalion beat Arcanine and did a number against Galvantula and Flygon, until I successfully caught the Legendary Pokémon (Genesect doesn't count since I never battled it in the first time). Like what happened two years ago, Cobalion was the first Legendary Pokémon caught in the Unova Region.

Episode 56: The Lacuna Story and the third Legendary Dragon Pokémon
Since Cobalion did a number (and WHAT a number) to my team, I decided to heal them at Lacunosa Town (I have no Flyer and I don't need one), however, Professor Aurea and Bianca kidnapped me (and the Stalker used Fly to beat me).
Nate: No! I need to heal my Pokémon!
Aurea: But we need you to hear a story!
Bianca: It's about a Legendary Pokémon!
Nate: I have caught that Pokémon and I need to heal my Pokémon ASAP!
Bianca: You caught the Legendary Dragon Pokémon already?
Nate: It's NOT that Pokémon!
Bianca: Then, COME WITH US, we'll give you to the Legendary Dragon Pokémon as a sacrifice and he is BLOOD THIRSTY! FWAHAHAHAHAH!
Okay, okay, that last line never happened. What happened was Aurea guided me and Bianca to an old woman and heard the story about the Giant Chasm (stupid giant boulder, I'd like to investigate that right now) and a Pokémon who eats people and Pokémon (hope it's not Darkrai or Giratina) and the reason why nobody in Lacunosa Town is outside during the night. And the Professor even mentioned that Pokémon may be a Legendary Pokémon.
Maybe I could ask Drayden about that.
But first, I need to heal my Pokémon ASAP.

Episode 57: Join Hugh and Team Plasma and you have Nate doing all the homework
After healing my Pokémon and checking Cobalion's stats (which were decent, btw), I bought TM25 (Thunder) and teached the move to Galvantula (with Compoundeyes the EleSpider becomes a force to be reckoned). In the Pokémon Center there was a woman who told me about the Gym Badges I obtained so far and the story about obtaining them.
After that, I saw Hugh, who mentioned something about Team Plasma being there and to my surprised (I was surprised at all), I saw a Plasma Grunt and the Sage with the Frozen ***, Zinzolin.
Needless to say, we had to face Team Plasma for the zillionth time, this time a Tag Battle with Hugh as a Partner (seriously, you can't stand a chance with Serperior), at least what save Hugh's *** is my awesome team and Hugh's rage as well.
The Ironic Part (check Episode 37 for more details) about the battle is Zinzolin uses of all the available types, ICE-TYPE Pokémon, maybe he is a sadomasochist.
After burning Zinzolin's *** to Oblivion (for the first time), he even mentions Hilbert, the Trainer who destroyed Team Plasma's, I mean, Ghetsis's plans two years ago. Maybe Hilbert's Zekrom would be handy this time. After they ran away, Hugh started chasing them (again), running even faster than Barry hunting a Suicune.
Well, time to go to Opelucid City.

[Charoshi]

Swiftly defeating Elesa and Clay, dominating the PWT, and defeating Team Plasma, my power trio of Drifblim, Scolipede and Excadrill were far exceeding what most experts could believe a pokemon owned by a rookie trainer with only 5 badges could be. Clay commented as much when my own Excadrill absolutely ravaged through his. He couldn't believe I could have trained one in such a short period of time that exceeded his so much.

I decided then that it was time to expand the family. I couldn't rely on the same 3 Pokemon my whole adventure.

That's when chance took its course. Down in the depths of Chargestone Cave I found my 4th member: Tynamo. Training as hard as we could, Tynamo soon evolved, and Eelektrik couldn't take no for an answer, and evolved himself with my thunderstone.

My Eelektross, once quiet and timid, had become rather cocky. The Audino that had once presented problems were now piled in a smouldering heap under his levitating body. I decided it was time to test his new power in the gym, where he promptly dispatched the entire gym by itself. I figured that was fair though. The other 3 had 5 gyms split between them, and they were pretty exhausted.

After defeating Skyla, she took me on a plane to Kentimas town, and outside the town I met my 5th team mate, a young spoink, who promtly evolved. I decided it was time to take a break.
