The Medal System

[ludiloco]

I have 88 medals now and I'm more focused in the PWT and Join Avenue.

Maybe I'll try a league challenge with Monotypes.

Using one Pokemon works, too.

It's probably faster in the long run to win using dual type Pokemon who are capable of handling the Elite 4 on their own so you can get two type medals in one go along with the One and Only medal.

exactly what I did using a Gallade

Oh! almost forgot, also working on national catcher, and just need 2 more (If events counted, I would need 4) anyone got a spinda I can have?

You can get one off the Yancy/Curtis sidequest

The medals are definetley a great addition to the game. They make it much longer and slightly more challenging. So far I'm up to 43 medals, once I've made a dent in the Pokemon World Tournament I'll start collecting them properly.

The only medal that caused me trouble (so far) was the "One and Only". I eventually managed to accomplish this though with a Level 78 Lucario (it didn't have any items or wasn't altered by Natures/EVs/IVs) on my first run through i.e. Pre National Dex.
-Aura Sphere to defeat Grimsley
-Psychic to defeat Marshall
-Dark Pulse to defeat Shauntal and Caitlin
-Dragon Pulse to defeat Iris.

I suppose it depends on whether you wish to challenge yourself or not. I tried it on Black 2 before with a Level 100 EV trained Charizard, Post National Dex and it was a little bit of a struggle. (I still managed to do it though)

well, final got rail enthusiast after finding that blue futuristic train. now I'm currently doing Funfest missions and battles mostly. just about 35 more missions and so close to black card!

Gallade @Sitrus Berry/Focus Sash
Adamant
Ice Punch
Night Slash
Drain Punch
Psycho Cut

I think this would work much better as Lucario is weak to fighting and Marshal's Sawk has Sturdy and Close Combat meaning youll get wiped out pretty easy. Got the first 2 link battle medals by battling in the Tournament got about 180 medals now

yes, cuz I'm gunna wait 30 days to get a spinda :l

You can make multiple calls a day

so ideally it could be as low as, like....12!

[Shine]

....or you can try looking for one in the Dream World.

Spinda is in the Rugged Mountain.

It's a BW1 exclusive

The Rail enthusiast is a pain. I got all train descriptions except one which he never mentions at all. Even after 2 weeks of daily train talk, he still never mentions the final train I need for that dang medal.

You can't even soft-reset new trains too

[Rakurai]

I think the future train only appears on specific dates, because I've had every single other train appear multiple times now.

At least it knows Superpower. And you can get BW1 exclusives on BW2, provided you get them on the demo first :p

Serebii really needs to update this page because I (and many other people) have been able to trade with as few as 30 calls

That's probably a better option. Lucario was the first that came to my mind and as you said it did indeed have a few problems with Sawk and Sturdy/Close Combat/Full Restore

The Medal System is the only disappointing aspect of the first two gyms journey. It's corny, pointless, boring, and totally unneeded. Nintendo, if you're reading this, and are thinking about gen 6, cross the medal system off your list of gen 6 ideas.

It's my favourite new addition so Nintendo, if you're reading this...please don't :P

[Rakurai]

I don't understand why someone would complain about the medal system when you're not even required to use it...
