You think that's bad? When I first played Crystal, I thought "super effective" and "not very effective" were random like critical hits. Despite being aware of the basic type matchups like Water beats Fire and Dark beats Psychic from guidebooks and the anime.
If that doesn't merit a derp lizard, I don't know what does.

You know you're excited about a new Pokémon game when you have a dream that you're in its trailer.
Though some elements of this dream were weird. Bianca was replaced by Professor Rowan, and my starter couldn't decide whether she wanted to be a Bulbasaur or a Snivy, among other things.

No, but she was capable of speech and complimented Professor Rowan by saying he was "so scientific!" while in her Bulbasaur phase.
I'm not very good at having sexually explicit dreams, but that's not exactly relevant.
My little sister got to the cold storage. I refused to help her with the ice sliding puzzles, only giving her a hint
She threw a fit and it triggered nostalgia
Ah, the god damn ice puzzles in GSC... The bane of many a child...
Part of the reason I refused to help was that ice puzzles are kind of a trial all Pokemon fans have to experience eventually
The other reason is because if she can't figure this out on her own, then she will not stand a chance at Icirrus Gym
If she learns from this, then I fully expect that, once she reaches that gym, she'll slowly shut her 3DS, go to her room, close the door, scream in a pillow, then come back to the game

Heh, I remember the Ice Path taking me forever in Crystal. Granted, this was partly because I was distracted by the big room with the Strength block puzzle. I sucked at those when I was 9.
But oddly, Candice's gym in Diamond, the HGSS version of the Ice Path, and Cold Storage didn't give me much trouble at all. I did get a little confused near the end of Brycen's gym...
Well, to be fair, puzzles get easier once you gain better reasoning skills
Heh. Maybe I should get a rom of Crystal up to the Ice Path then have her try that. After that, the Cold Storage would be, "At least it isn't Ice Path"

Good point.
So, I picked out all the Pokémon I'd be interested in catching in BW2, put them on a list, and counted them up. It adds up to at least 24 so far (26 if I can get all of my top 3 favorite Eeveelutions), and we still have 96 Pokémon from previous generations left to find out. This really will be my largest Pokémon collection yet.

It's mostly the same. I think it's partly that our reasoning skills are better developed, and partly that the screen is zoomed further out on the map on the DS than on the Game Boy Color. At least for me, it seems to help with visualizing the solutions to the sliding and block-pushing puzzles.
So, how does everybody feel about Action Replay? What about if it's used not to affect the Pokemon themselves, but to view the IVs and make breeding and hatching faster?

I can definitely see why you'd want to see IVs, EVs, and happiness. It would definitely be helpful to have some way to see them other than vague hints about the range they're in.
I don't do "recreational" hacking, but I'm perfectly fine with it as long as it stays isolated on one game or group of games devoted to the purpose. If someone trades one of their hacked Pokémon, items, or what have you on the GTS with a non-hacked game, I start having objections. And I definitely wouldn't disguise one of my hacks as an event Pokémon at a convention like what's happened several times already.
^ Yeah, I always warn people that I did use an AR to speed up hatching (it never alters the Pokemon itself) if trading (mind you, I also clone some of my Pokemon. I always offer to clone the other person's and trade their Pokemon back, however, so they aren't losing out)
I remember being talked into once making fake mews and trading them for shinies. Only did it three times before I realized how awful it was and ended up giving away the ill gotten shinies

Tornadus is in Black; Thundurus is the one in White.
Heh, I like how Bulbapedia already has their "ostrich" forms as their pictures.

And now for a complete change of subject:
Buizel and Turtwig look like the happiest things in the world for some reason.
Why CAN'T you aim for a Pokemon in Wild Double Battles?
It's not like it wasn't done in Pokemon XD. Hell, the battle with the final boss had him have SIX Shadow Pokemon that you could all catch in that ONE battle

Yeah, I don't know about that rule either. I'm assuming the player characters have decent enough hand-eye coordination that they could easily lob a Poké Ball at the one they want. Heck, I'm pretty sure Ash has done much the same at least once before.
Come to think of it, if it wasn't for that rule, I would have had a slightly better chance of catching that shiny Steelix at the Fuego Ironworks in Diamond. Alas.

I never thought to do that. Though it wouldn't have mattered much anyway. I only had one Ultra Ball, and if it failed, I'd have had no chance of catching it.
Oddly, I only ever found two of the dungeon partners in Diamond: Cheryl and Riley. I know one of them is post-game, but I never got around to finding the other two. I know what area Miri is in, but I never wanted to teach my Pokémon Flash, so she would've been a pain to find.

Namazu Peasants attack Namazu for causing 1855 earthquake in Japan.
If you’ve ever wondered why Japan has so many earthquakes, you can believe the seismologists, who point to Japan’s location in the volatile region known as the Ring of Fire. Or you can believe Japanese mythology, which blames the frequent quakes on a creature known as Namazu. Namazu is a massive catfish that inhabits the mud beneath the earth’s surface. Although he’s usually restrained by the god Kashima, the god can sadly let his guard down from time to time. When that happens, Namazu begins to violently thrash about, resulting in violent quakes. Namazu is so engrained in Japanese culture he is pictured on many of the country’s earthquake-warning devices. Namazu remains a delicate topic in Japan — a Pokemon episode featuring a similar catfish monster, Whiscash, was banned when it was scheduled too soon after several earthquakes.

Yep, I was aware of that episode. Kind of a shame, really. I kind of like Whiscash. But I can definitely understand why they did it.
In other news, Pokémon Tabletop Adventures v 1.3 is out. They seem to be giving the design of the manuals an overhaul to make it look more like a real manual. The font size is a bit on the big side, but otherwise, it looks pretty good. They've also changed some of the classes around, as usual.
Though now that I've mentioned it, sorry about our campaign, Crmirnauc.

So, I just found this out today. Apparently, one of the producers of Pokémon Live! uploaded a performance of the show to his YouTube account. The audience noise is edited out, so there's nothing to distract from the show.
I've seen mixed reception to this. Personally, I think I'd enjoy the over-the-top cheesiness of it, but I guess I won't know until I see it.

I was reading a thread on Bulbagarden in which people guessed what the English names of the new characters would be. The only one I have a guess for is the Poison gym leader (her Japanese name is Homika, IIRC). It's pretty tough to find thematically appropriate names for Poison leaders, but I think "Laverne" is a reasonable name. Even if the pun is kind of a stretch.
Apart from that, I like the suggestion of "Sean" for the Water leader (Shizui) and "Lloyd" for the rival. Sadly, I have no idea what the default names for the main characters could be.
I feel sorry for the people who write the Pokemon Adventures manga
Each character is named after the games. Yet they can't really have two Blacks and two Whites, and calling the new characters Black Two and White Two would be silly

I've seen one person suggest that the new main characters should be given names that mean "light" and "dark", though they were talking about the games and not Pokémon Special. Another person thinks they're probably going to make Black and White just wear the clothes and hairstyle of the new main characters.
I'm still excited to find out what the rest of the Pokémon in the new Unova dex are and who the other 4 Gym Leaders will be. But alas, we still have 3 and a half weeks to go before we can find out.
So Pokewood has you battle a mechanical Tyrannitar
Which meane there are no competitions in BW2 that don't involve battling, a first since Generation 3 (Even FRLG had link cable games you could play), and the first games ever to not have any optional non battle/catching stuff so far (even RGBY had the slots)

From what I've heard, Musicals are still supposed to be in. I've also seen a few people say that there might be multiple Pokéwood studios with different scenarios to play through. But at the same time, neither of these things are officially confirmed.

My sister also recently was using water type moves on a Pansage. x.x I hope she's stopped that
