Meloetta the secret legendary that everyone has known about for ages now?

>>24597
Yes, but people aren't supposed to know about all the secret Pokemon on the day of release.

>>24598
GameFreak: terrible at keeping secrets.

>>24599
When have they been good at it? Like back in the days of Mew or maybe Celebi?

>>24601
They were "good" during the brief period between the first games coming out and everyone who plays video games figuring out it's easiest just to use the internet to consult someone who actually hacked the game apart.

>>24601
I think it was Mew that not even people at Nintendo were sure was actually in there or not.

>>24603
Well back then even the "official" guide for Red/Blue said that b-mashing made captures more likely.

>>24604
The moral of the story is: Nintendo are fucking liars.

Okay, so Meloetta is a real thing now.
Does that include Pirouette Forme, or are we still waiting for that official reveal too?

Meloetta for best legendary, BTW.

>Pokegen.
Can I discuss Fighting Games, Toku, and Magic:TG here?

>>24608
Nah. You're free to take those to /cog/ and /jam/ though.

Fuck.

>>24633
no
my waifu ;_;

>>24633
What's wrong with her face?

>>24637
It's either Cilan dressed as Elesa, or someone imagining her with his face.

>new internet provider
>DS actually compatible with new modem
>can finally connect to Dream World and make use of all other internet-related features in the past few games
YAY

Fuck this shit WHERE IS GENESECT COME ON ALREADY

>>24648
I've had similar problems, one which frustrates me immensely.

My DSi is compatible with WPA wi-fi, but the games themselves are only compatible with WEP apparently. How does that even make any sense?

>>24660
I'm not sure if earlier ones were, but Heart Gold/Soul Silver and Black/White are WPA-compatible when used with a 3DS but not a DS (lite).

>>24660
Because old DS games weren't programmed to access the DSi's higher capabilities.
Black and White can, though.

Hello there.
I've been planning to do a LP of a bit curious Emerald hack I've found.
Are you guys interested for the usual audience participation (like naming)?

>>24685
My timing is terrible(notice the name) but I'm down for it on the off-chance that I see a thread in time.

Is this board always so tranquil?
Oh well, slow and steady will it be then.
I'll start when I get home from work, that would be in around 7 hours.

>>24687
Yes.
We're a pretty small site as it is, the number of people who check /pkmn/ every day is even lower.

Pokemon Smash is going to compete in this year's worlds.
They even hired some small children to compete in their name.

Would you like a Suede/Linkara/JewWario team up review series?
Well here it is: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/suede/animenia/34756-animenia-pokemon-the-first-movie
Still can belive they to skipped Pikachu's Vacation too...
*sigh*

the 15th anime anniversary episode of Pokemon Smash was pretty awesome.
Not only did they have pokemon mascots out the wazoo, but Rica was there and she did live songs.
She has so much energy in her singing.
Also they didn't just re-air the first episode, they re-aired a remastered version!

Ash kind of has Goku hair

Good news everyone!

Pokémon Conquest - US Trailer

So I booted up Black again for the first time in a long time yesterday.
My Drilbur is named The Cage.
I can remember why I named all my other Pokemon the ridiculous names I named them.
I cannot remember why I named my Drilbur The Cage.
I really want to know why I named my Drilbur The Cage. It is bothering me deeply.

The new ending has a dance!

Help me, I'm breeding a team for B&W2 and I'm now up to my asshole in Joltiks. It's the most adorable infestation

>>25202
Godamn it... the only solution is to make a sweater out of them.
Reminds me that I have an entire box full of Abras in Yellow.

>>realizing that besides the promo Legendary Beasts, I've never come across a single Shiny Pokemon in any of the games

I have mixed feelings about this. I mean, the only difference is aesthetic, right?

>>25219
Same, and yes, it's strictly aesthetic in the newer gens. Back in gens I and 2, I think, I'm pretty sure the cause of shiny Pokemon was a perfect IV spread, which lead to the rumor that shiny Pokemon were inherently more powerful, but nowadays, that's not true.

>>25220

Shininess was determined by iv spread in Gen II but Shiny pokemon were usually only slightly above average ev-wise at best

>>If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny.

Okay guys, I need some help: I'm breeding a UU or lower team for BW2 that will be the est ever but I can't decide on which Pokemon to include. Here are the Pokemon I'm definitely going to include:

Octillery (Because he's a baller)
Mismagius (Because she's also a baller)
Galvantula (Because I spent weeks breeding the perfect one and I'll be damned if it goes to waste!)
Shedinja (To Baton Pass speed boosts to Octillery)

So that leaves me with two slots left to fill and too many potential pokemon to fill it. Pokemon I'm thinking of using to fill the remaining 2 slots:

Krookodile
Chandelure
Ludicolo
Gardevoir
Poliwrath
Drifblim
Xatu

Help me finish my team!

>>25230
Ludicolo's a fucking boss.
Rain Dish + Leftovers + Leech Seed = laffo
I've switched Ludicolo into a Suicune, seeded it, and then immediately gotten frozen by an Ice Beam or Blizzard or w/e.
He stayed frozen the entire time Suicune was on the field.
Suicune was KO'd by Leech Seed long before he could KO Ludicolo.
Also Xatu's fun with Mirror Bounce.

>terrible design general.

>>25234
Maybe for you captain bring down.

Is there a good chart somewhere I can print off that lists Pokemon, their (pre)evos, and what it takes to get from one to the next?

I'm trying to load B/W with as many Pokemon as I can from HG, Pearl, Sapphire, and LG so I can just have *one* Pokemon game in case I actually decide to fight someone. Having a checklist that I can mark off to see if I need to do anything in Gen IV or Gen III before moving them (like a trade/held-item evolution or something) would be quite useful.

>>25498
http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/unobtainable.shtml

Doesn't have evolutions on the page (but it does have base stats?), but it's a start.

>>25504
I think I'll just roll my own. I need to group disjointed relationships (Eeveelutions, babbys) as well as what is necessary to evolve or get eggs (in some cases).

Is there a good place to get Pokemon sprites? Preferably one that won't cry about using them, because I'd like to stick this on the internet for others to use once it's complete.

Pokemon Emerald - Naming Nitpi…

>Hating on Ludicolo
Well fuck you too, JonTron. I'm with Egoraptor on this.

JonTron I used to think you were cool

So I'm running through HG to get a bunch of Pokemon to transfer to Black

Somehow I beat all 16 Gym Leaders, the Elite Four twice, and got to the top of Mount Silver all without setting foot on Route 3. WTF.

Holy crap what will it take to catch this damn Suicune. 25 Ultra balls and a smattering of other balls, 1 HP, sleeping, and at best it rocks twice.

>>25549
A+B and down, bro.

>>25552
HAHAHAHAHA

>>25549
At 1HP and asleep, your average legendary takes 30+ ultra balls to capture. That is the best odds you can get.

Seriously, I get that they're rare and all, but legendaries having a catch rate of fucking THREE is just utterly retarded. Most of them aren't even difficult to get down to optimal capture, and then it's just mindlessly spamming pokeballs by the dozens.

>>25553
Fun fact: Dialga and Palkia have catch rates of 30 each. Mantyke and Mantine's catch rates are 25 each. The primordial beasts of time and space are easier to catch than manta rays.

>>25557
And then there's this bullshit. I don't get this.

>>25558
By Legendary standards, Dialga and Palkia are fairly easy catches.

And guess who else has a lower catch rate than those two.

>>25558
They're Legendaries you HAVE to fight, so of course they make things a bit easier.

>>25561
You had to fight Groudon and Kyogre too, and they're both a bitch-and-a-half to catch.

>>25562
Everything in Gen III is fucking stupid.

>>25561
>>25562
Platinum and Emerald both kept the raised capture rates, but in neither game are you at any point forced to capture those.

The only game where you have to catch a legendary is B/W, you can faint anything else to my knowledge. But who in their right mind wouldn't reset until they caught it?

>>25563

>>25567
Heck, you can run away from most of them and they'll be all well okay, I'm done destroying the world now.

>>25571
I'm honestly pretty surprised that they haven't made an antagonist similar to the villain in the second Pokemon movie yet.
IE: hunting down and catching legendary Pokemon ultimately (and unintentionally) resulting in a cataclysmic event that you have to fix

>>25572
Because that would clash with the deeply-rooted sentiment of "FUCK IT, CATCH THOSE MOFOIN LEGENDS" permeating the games. As opposed to the way the anime tends to treat legendaries as being generally more important than warrants fucking about by a nine year old dumbass.

Anime: see this Pokémon here? If you caught this Pokémon, it would END THE WORLD.
Game: catch everything you see, give no fucks as to the consequences.

>>25573
And then there's this asshole.

>>25574
Oh hey, I always wondered if Agatha ever made an anime appearance

>>25574
Don't forget Nurse Joy's freaking Latias. What the hell.

>>25577
Latios and Latias don't really seem to fall under the same category of legendaries as a lot of the others. They seem to canonically be a species with multiple members (as evidenced by having sexes despite not being breedable), and presumably there's a breeding population somewhere. And I don't think any of the games have really given them a mystical backstory or anything.

All the other legendaries seem to be one-of-a-kind gods and spirits and genetic experiments, and Latios and Latias just seem to be a powerful species of dragon that's either endangered or usually live far away. Their base totals mean that they're never going to be something we find in the wild in a game, but theoretically they live in the wild somewhere.

Come to think of it, I guess technically there would be multiple Deoxys running around somewhere, too, right?

>>25579
Deoxys is a mystery. It's a freaking alien, so there's no telling how many they are, where they're from, or even what it's made of.

So in the process of capturing as many Pokemon as possible in Gen III/IV and transferring them to Black, I have created a site page (which I will post here when done) that lists all the Pokemon by National Pokédex number, except for babbys/new evos, which I put with the originals.

Going through each one individually, getting the names, placing the pictures, and marking up which III/IV games they appear in (and if they appear in B/W at all!) takes a long damn time. Been working on it for two or three weeks and just now have I completed everything up to Gen III. Gen IV should be done by the end of the week, in part because about a quarter of those are babby/evos of previous ones.

My brother and I are convinced that Galavantula sounds like a good name for a metal band.

From serebii:
"For those of you in America,the Keldeo event is now running in Gamestop stores across the country, or EB Games if you're in Canada. This event gives a Level 15 Keldeo with a PP Max to Pokémon Black & White games. In Black & White, you can teach it Secret Sword if you take Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion with it to the Moors of Icirrus, but if you wait until Black 2 & White 2 are out and trade it over, you can activate its Resolute Form by teaching this move. The event lasts until October 6th so be sure to get it while you can
As a reminder, this event runs in Europe from September 1st to October 11th, in various stores such as GAME in the UK and various other stores depending on the country. Be sure to check your local store to see if they're participating. In Australia, it runs from September 15th to October 10th in EBGames stores."


"For those of you in the UK, the stores GAME & Gamestation have announced all the stores in the country will be participating, not select ones as per previous events. These stores will all be giving away Keldeo for Black & White players from this Saturday, September 1st, until October 11th...the day before Pokémon Black 2 & White 2's release."

>doing an exclusive promo event with a company who are in the process of going out of business and/or have shut down hundreds of stores nationwide

Thanks, GameFreak.

Found this on /cgl/

>>25635
It should be a cape!

Good job on the crazy rufflecollar though.

They did a cast shuffle.
While I imagined Lucario coming back, I never imagined he'd replace Zoroark.

What bonus features are available for people who own B2/W2 for the 3DS?

>>25702
If you buy Dream Radar, you can use that to get Pokemon that can be transferred to B2W2.

I'm having a lot of trouble getting my 3DS to work with BW2. It keeps crashing every time I try to connect wirelessly with anything. C-Gear, synch thing and just trying to connect it to BW results in it turning blue and saying "Communication error. Please turn off the machine and try again."

>>25721
Call Nintendo or something. They do have a helpline.

>Sweep an entire Unova Leaders Tournament with my in-game Cinccino.

So, are there any..... ROMS anywhere?

So I hear BW2 is what BW should have been. One thing I want to know though is challenge mode: new game+ or regular new game only?

>>25728
Challenge Mode is a Hard Difficulty.

To unlock it, you must finish the game in Black2. In White2, you have to trade keys with Black2 to get it.

y u do dis gamefreak

>>25722
They do? holdon

>>25733
>Challenge Mode is a Hard Difficulty.
Heh. Then I've got the rest of the year scheduled.
....If I could find a ROM.

>>25733
Waitwaitwait
so Pokemon actually has difficulty modes now? About godamn time.
Oh I have to fritter away a few days bored to unlock it first. Meh.

>>25739
It has unlockable difficulties that you have to trade to unlock.

Huh.
The Timer Ball received a massive buff this generation and I didn't even realize.

Thank you Game Freak.

I still won't use them but I appreciate the effort.

Whaaaaa... Really?!
Fuck that!

>>25836
Only 43 cents per Pokemon!

So, how much better is Black/White 2 compared to the originals? I'm asking because I really ended up liking the sequels, so I'm thinking about getting one of the first ones too.

>>25841
The sequels don't solve many of the core issues the first two games had. They're incredibly hand-holdy, the plot is repeatedly forced down your throat with gratuitous cutscenes full of awkwardly-translated dialog, and so on...

On the other hand, at least now there's decent post-game content. And the world is MUCH bigger, there's a lot more to do..

I'm calling them an improvement, but many of the things Black/White broke still haven't been fixed.

>>25842
I thought all you ever wanted from Pokemon was a more sweeping plot that mixes up the badge quest by intimately intertwining it with the fate of the planet.

>>25844
I don't know about anyone else in this thread, but personally I'd like to see a Pokémon game that has a grand, compelling plot I'm not forced to pay attention to. But then, I like choice.

Honestly, I still think Platinum is the best plot-driven main series game so far, because god damn that was well-integrated. And actually interesting. To ME. And I'm the kind who doesn't even remember Pokémon games HAVE a plot.

houba

>>25846
Which?

>>25847
Gee, I thought you could have figured it out by the two mono-type team medals I won at the same time.
