HELLO, BONJOUR, GUTEN TAG, नमस्कार, ハロー, Привет, 你好, ہیلو שלום AND HOLA!

As those of you who frequent this board and fans of Pokemon already know, this Sunday marks the American release of the fifth generation of Pokemon, BLACK AND WHITE! For many this will be another installment in a long line of game purchases and will be like a visit from an old friend with new gifts. But for some? For some this is their first foray into a 15 year old franchise.

SO! LET THIS THREAD BE A PRIMER AND SOUND OFF THREAD FOR ALL!

To start us off, a handy youtube video that with the aid of music and large Sumagori illustrations will make learning the English names of all the pokemon easier.

OKAY DONE POKESAV'ING FOR NOW. I made, like, 24 Pokemon. Twelve for me, twelve for the guy whose MicroSD I'm borrowing.

He got Hydreigon, Gengar, Scizor, Metagross (shiny), Tyranitar, Eelektrik, Snorlax, Cofagrigus (shiny), Bisharp, Volcarona, Golurk (shiny), and Blastoise.

For myself I made Electrode, Exadrill, Clefable (shiny), Conkeldurr, Galvantula, Darmanitan, Chandelure, Zoroark (shiny), Sigilyph, Gothorita, Heracross, and Slaking.

ALL of the new bugs are good, or at least usable. There's even a Bug-type legendary now. It's amazing.

But no Bug Catcher class.

>> No. 20389

Kricketune, Wormadam, Mothim, Vespiqueen, Yanmega.

Yanmega was a class act, and Mothim and Vespiqueen had some potential. But Kricketune and Wormadam are fuckin' awful.

I never liked Bug Pokemon until this generation. My Leavanny, Steve, has been a permanent party member and is awesome.
>> No. 20488
Ok guys, slowpoke and all, but I just got White version. Going to try and go for Victini before the event ends.
>> No. 20489
>>20488
My lack of a modern DS and my router being incompatible meant no Victini for me...
>> No. 20490
>>20489
What DS are you using because I'm using the original one right now, and it even has a broken hinge. All's well so far.
>> No. 20493
Also hey, if you have the Liberty Pass, will it still be possible to catch Victini after the deadline on the April 10th?
>> No. 20496
>>20489
Okay, I had this problem too. It is still fixable. If you have a netgear router it as easy as changing a setting. It is probably fixable with other types of routers too, but I know how it works with netgear. Make sure you are only using WEP encryption (or no encryption if you fly that way) go to wireless settings, mode and change it too "up to 150mbps b/g/n mixed mode". the mixed mode is the important part of that if you can't find an exact match. most routers come with a setting that make them compatible with older wifi equipment. oddly the nintendo help page did nothing but i searched "nintendo" on the router's help page and it knew exactly what to do. hope this works for you.
>> No. 20497
>>20489
... But you DS only has to be compatible with what they had at Gamestop and even my DS Phat I've had since it's original launch date worked with that.

>>20493
The time limit is for only for the download itself, once you have the download you can take all the time you like to get Victini
>> No. 20504
You now have until the 27th to get Victini btw
>> No. 20507

>... But you DS only has to be compatible with what they had at Gamestop and even my DS Phat I've had since it's original launch date worked with that.

As I found out the hard way, this isn't a Gamestop event, it's a Wi-fi event.
>> No. 20508
>>20507
i think the idea is that gamestops all have open wifi networks. in theory you should be able to access a wifi event from their network even when they aren't hosting it.
>> No. 20518

Oh, hmmm. Well, now that I have more time, I might do that!

FUCK YEAR BEAT INGO (I want his clothes so bad)

I wonder if I should build a proper doubles team before going after Emmet.
>> No. 20537
my black city is empty. totally and completely empty. there is one person in the poke center and a handful of short buildings i cant enter in the back corner of the city. i thought the minimum number of people was 12? what do i do?
>> No. 20540
>>20537
It's like Animal Crossing. They leave if you don't give them attention.
>> No. 20541
>>20540
but there was never anyone there to begin with. I'm just really disappointed, i was looking forward to visiting black city the whole game, it's why i picked black over white and i get there and it's empty.
>> No. 20542
>>20541
They *were* there to begin with, but you neglected them and they all left!
>> No. 20544
>>20537
>>20541
How many people there are in Black City/White Forest depends on how fast you get there from the beginning of the game. You basically have to speed run the game to get all 10 ppl there.

Your only hope to repopulate your city is to have a friend with Pokemon White, so you can entralink each other.

Oh.

...I'm so busy that I literally shouldn't even be wasting these two minutes here right now. I won't have any real free time for at least a month. Goddamnit.

Would... would setting the clock back help?
