Join Avenue!

[Rakurai]

I've only won a Master Ball once out of my 50 or so lottery draws.

My store was maxed out for over half of those, as well.

Does it change with save scrumming or is it set for the day?

My visitors are always so intent on going to the dojo only. I have such a high level on the dojo and everything else is like, levels 1-3. What gives!

I have a problem similar to this. Everyone seems to like the Fitness and Salon, and maybe Shop from time to time, but no one shows interest in the Deli/Kitchen. Because of that, my kitchen is 2-3 ranks below everything else.

The shop you choose at the male Cool Trainer assistant will be prone to getting more visitors.

If you didn't do that yet, there will still be a default shop your visitors will flock to based on your ID.

The shop you pick is also the one you'll open in someone's avenue if you communicated with another player via GTS Negotiations or local wireless.

I actually tried that -_- I tried to get people to go to my deli but nobody seems to want to. I didn't know that about the other person's JA though, that's cool!

This explains so much. I'll need to mess with this next time I pop into the avenue.

[Rakurai]

It's still fairly random, but I'd say around half of my visitors have the option of going to the shop I chose.

You also have to pick it before any visitors arrive, as their recommendation is fixed from the moment they appear.

Rakurai, you should write a guide to Join Avenue. Seriously, I've learned so much just reading your posts in this thread.

[Rakurai]

Pretty much everything I know is from the Japanese wiki.

It probably has more information on most of the B/W 2 specific features then Serebii, to be honest.

Using the GTS for the sake of trading or using the Dream World for the sake of using the Dream World is fine, but using the GTS not to use the GTS but to intentionally develop your Join Avenue when you can develop your Join Avenue without doing so is arguably unethical.

Hahaha oh wow this made me laugh. Unethical? You're suggesting that the entire Coil trend sweeping the GTS is immoral? If anything it's useful and promotes some healthy equivalent exchange in terms of Join Avenue growth.

[Rakurai]

It really seems like way too small of a reward to just get a measly Comet Shard for maxing out the avenue rank, especially since you stop getting further discounts at rank 40.

I hope it does something else, like putting a trophy in your house at least.

Has anyone gotten any evo stones from their antique shops yet? I'm pretty sure by now I have a bajillion hard stones, hahaha. I like that you have a chance of getting them from it, though.

I have. I'm thinking of ditching one of my two antique shops though. As a White 2 owner, all stones except Dusk are covered by White Tree Hollow shops, PWT prizes, Pickup, or Funfest missions... I think. I'll have to double check that.

It does take some patience- hard stones are the most common by a landslide. I suppose I should be glad that I bought up as many stones as possible on my Black cartridge before the NPCs ran away.

Seems like the Magnemite Coil has died down or Game Freak blocked those trades or something. Because I just checked the GTS and there were only 6 Magnemites in there worldwide. None of them wanting Magnemite.

So they stopped that but not the impossible trades? What the heck?

Also I got a Skull Fossil from the Antique Shop.

EDIT: Never mind, found Magnemites. Had to set a country. Very strange...

Well not everyone is able to read the Japanese wikis on this

And I'm not too surprised at that last part, honestly.

I generally place my own and let people snatch mine. Some of the names of these magnemites are just silly. I got this one named NS twice and there is one called "URAFAGET" floating around too. That one gave me a chuckle.

I think I'm going to go catch 3 and name them all There, Their, and They're just so the hell of it.

My White 2 Join Avenue is a mess. I just want to hurry up and get whatever shop Medals are left so I don't have to keep putting up Markets and Antique shops and whatever. I just want Dojos and Cafes, and probably a Nursery(Although that's really only because I think there are Funfest Missions for hatching eggs). I may end up getting rid of one of my Dojos though, only because it's run by a player from one of my other games and as a result it wont show up any time I use the C Gear, sadly it's already at rank 5 so...not sure if I want to have it go to waste. My rank is 5 I believe.

My Black 2 Join Avenue is fine though. Have a rank 10 Dojo(Disappointed the shops don't change again at rank 10, it's the final rank, it makes more sense to change in my opinion), also have a rank 8 Cafe so that's almost maxed out, and the rest of my Dojos and Cafes are Rank 2-4/5, plus rank 4/5 Raffle(Come on Masterballs). I'm rank 12 on it, still a long way to go(And I'll never get there I already know that).

Drayden came to my Join Avenue the other day and gave my Dojo 1000 points hahah. Anyways I really hate the idea of medals for putting up hella new shops. I already have a pretty solid avenue but now I have to remake shops up to 50 times, man that's annoying.

[Rakurai]

You need to do that in order to reactivate the weeklong 50% discount for maxing all of your stores out anyways, so it's no big deal, really.
