    Wow, we seem to be getting a surprising amount of news about Black and White 2 all of a sudden.

    So apparently, there's going to be new features that appear to serve the same purposes as the Entralink and Black City. They're called Fes Missions (whatever that means; more than likely they'll change the name in the English version) and Join Avenue respectively.

    I'm kind of curious to see what they'll be like. Hopefully they'll be interesting. I'll just have to remember to meet up with my Pokémon-playing friends to get access to them.

    I just caught a Cofagrigus and named her Nekane (Apparently means "Sorrow" in Basque... Fitting name for a Pokemon that evolves from the souls of dead people)

    *Keeps in level 49 Krookodile against Bianca's Samurott* Sandy will be fine *Sandy survives full power Retaliate* See? *next turn, Samurott uses Rain Boosted Aqua Jet, killing Sandy* ...Fuck you bitch for keeping Aqua Jet


    So, I need to replace my monster of a Krookodile. My current active 10 are a level 45 Larvesta, a level 46 Cobalion, a level 52 Stoutland, a level 45 Furret, a level 45 Darmanitan, a level 45 Gigalith, a level 45 Vanillish, a level 45 Maractus, a level 45 Carracosta, and a level 35 Leavanny that is unlikely to be used again (making it more of an active 9)

    The other Pokemon at my disposal right now are a level 28 Gurdurr, 33 Klink, 20 Minccino, 30 Shelmet, 26 Tranquill, 31 Stunfisk, 22 Liepard, 30 Golett, 42 Virizion, 36 Cofagrigus, 22 Ducklett (Used as an HM Slave currently), and a level 32 Scraggy

    IF YOU GUYS COUNT IT, then a Level 1 Oshawott hatched on Skyarrow Bridge is also available

    Places I can access that I have not caught or hatched Pokemon at are the Moor of Icirrus, Tubeline Bridge, Route 9, Opelucid City, Mistralton City, Nimbasa City, Nacrene City, Striaton City, and Accumla Town



    So who should I choose?

    Hmm, tough question. So many choices.

    Are you looking for someone that has similarly high physical Attack or typing to Krookodile? Any particular moves you're looking for? Or do you want someone that's strong in a different area?

    But anyhow, that definitely sucks. I loved my Krookodile on my last White runthrough.
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    Considering I need a team that can take the E4 in one run with no casualities (I don't know if I can leave before facing N and Ghetsis) something with high power or can survive the ghost/dark/psychic/fighting onslaught would be great
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    But in the end, if it has a good amount of synergy (why did Smogon take that word D:) with the other 9/10, then that should be good

    If you need a Pokémon Center visit, there's a Team Plasma grunt in one of the rooms of the castle that teleports you out into the Pokémon League HQ.

    Scrafty has a good typing for the Elite Four, and their Attack and defenses are pretty good. Cofagrigus isn't the best choice for Grimsley and Shauntal, but she has great defenses and can probably hold up against Caitlin and Marshal. I'd say go for one of those two, but if another one comes along that's more helpful, then go for it.
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    ^ Does it let you back out to train, though? If not, well, one good wipe from Ghetsis and a few losses at the E4 and N would murder me

    Oh! Yeah, you can go back out into Victory Road and everywhere else. I think I did that in my last White run just to make sure I wasn't too underleveled. So you should be safe there.
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    Ah, good

    Now to hope I find a Pawniard or Deino (I know I'd use one of those two for certain)

    And I think I'll use my Cofagrigus. Yamask was one of the Pokemon I wanted in the first place, and I'm not quite ready to forgive my Scraggy for murdering my Zoroark



    ...Dear god, if I end up writing this up again, Sandy's blood is going to spray on Bianca JUST because I could see her freaking the fuck out (also, how she says that every time she gets into a battle, this happens. I know she means losing, but I love the implication of her saying that on a Nuzlocke run where she just killed a Krookodile and had its blood cover her)

    ...I think I'm in a morbid humour mood right now :D

    SON OF A BITCH!

    LAST trainer in Opelucid Gym. No level 40 Fraxure outsped Shiva before. THAT one did and knocked her out!

    GAH!

    It's like this game WANTS to taunt me!

    *Sighs* A Garbador was added to my box. So same choices as before, but Cofagrigus is in my active rotation and Garbador is a choice now

    I got a little chuckle out of it. The "MOTHERFUCKING AGGRON" meme and its followers didn't really capture my interest, but it's kind of funny to see it parodied like this.
  • edited 2012-06-07 11:39:46

    AGGRON. IT'S STEEL. AND ROCK.


    Combine those and you have a nice x4 weakness against this little move called Earthquake.
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    I got a Bouffalant. Too bad the Pokemon I have in rotation has multiple normal types already

    Cofagrigus is fun to use, though, if irritating due to lack of type coverage

    So, about Keldeo's new form being announced...

    Oh, yeah! I remember that. They haven't revealed what it looks like yet, though. "Resolution Forme," huh? A bit of an odd name, but I won't complain about it.

    Apparently, a lot of people are annoyed because most of the Unova Legendaries now have alternate forms. I can see their point there, but it honestly doesn't bother me too much. Nonetheless, I'm more curious about things like Pokéwood and who else is going to be appearing in the new games (character and Pokémon-wise) than new forms.
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    ^ It annoys me because Keldeo is part of a quartet and seems like it would be the ONLY one with an alt in the quartet

    That kind of upsets how they balanced the whole thing
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    My sister spent all but ~12,000 poke on TMs like Hyper Beam and expects to catch Virizion with about 6 ultra balls and in total less than 30 balls. Other than the Quick and Timer Balls, none but Ultra have a catch rate above 1 on Virizion

    On top of that, only status she can cause is Burn

    I told her to take the Gothita she was training for me, teach it Thief, and train it to 40. Then I'll show her the magic of Frisk + Thief on Foongus

    Aren't Hyper Beam and Giga Impact the only TMs you can buy in Black and White? Though speaking of which, I'm actually scared to buy them even though I have ridiculous amounts of money. (This is what happens when you make the Amulet Coin available before the third gym.)

    And ooh, I didn't realize Foongus had that good a chance of carrying mushrooms. That's loads better than Paras and Parasect's chances of having them.
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    ^ Yeah, 50% of having a tiny, and I think 5% of having a big

    Wait a minute, my mistake. Turns out Paras and Parasect had their item-carrying rates boosted in Generation III. And they have something Foongus and Amoonguss don't. They have a 1% chance of carrying a Balm Mushroom, a.k.a. 25,000 Poké-yen.

    On another subject, for some reason I'm starting to worry that my taste in Pokémon is too boring. Which is kind of sad, because I genuinely do like my favorites a lot.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    I like Typhlosion. :D

    I also love Quagsire more than I really should, especially considering that he's basically outclassed by Swampert.

    Most of the various snake Pokémon aren't very strong competitively, but they're still some of my favorites. Well, Arbok, Seviper, and the Snivy family are anyway; Dunsparce doesn't really appeal to me as much.

    I love all the stupid gimmicky/ridiculously underpowered Pokemon, like Castform, Luvdisc, Shedinja and Farfetch'd.
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    What IS everybodies favourites, anyways?

    Mine are, in order from most favourite:

    Feraligatr
    Umbreon/Flygon
    Articuno/Pikachu
    Vaporeon/Suicune/Kingdra

    And it all starts to break down from there

    When I was little it was definitely Porygon...


    Not sure now.


    I'm not familiar enough with the most recent generation.... >_>
  • ⊗¯\_(ツ)_/¯⊗
    ^ Proxies of the first four generations, for the most part (VERY blatant with Pokemon like Trubbish, Klink, and Sawk/Throw)

    Feraligatr, Serperior, Arbok, Lapras, and Krookodile are usually at the top of my favorites list. After that, it tends to change depending on what games I've played more recently and who I'm more curious to try out.

    When I was little, I absolutely loved the Squirtle family.

    What I'm worried about is if I don't like enough of the weird or unusual Pokémon, which is what I meant by "boring taste" earlier. I do like Swoobat, Cofagrigus, and Reuniclus, and I'm curious to try out Exeggutor, Starmie, and Maractus. But reptilian and canine Pokémon still appeal to me a lot.

    Feraligatr's one of my favorites, too. Back when Gold came out, I beat Lance after all my Pokemon fainted but Feraligatr, he was at 1/3rd HP and had no moves left but Struggle. He was my fucking bro.
  • Favorite pokemon? So many options T.T

    Probably togekiss, it's a ton of fun to use, really cute, and it trolls everyone.

    Though for usefulness Smeargle (passing on ridiculous moves through his egg group) and ditto (no explanation needed) are really useful. If ditto ever gets its dream world ability we will all die.
  • Ooh, Togekiss is good...
  • I'm a real sucker for Shedinja. I think it's sooo cuuute~


    I'm weird.
  • edited 2012-06-16 15:11:33
    I could see how you would think that, though it is a bit weird.

    It's TONS of fun to troll people with. 3 on 3 battle confusion :P
  • edited 2012-06-16 15:21:57
    Omg that is beautiful.

    Though if you have nothing that can kill it oh god yes.

    I've been meaning to try out Togekiss for a while. Looks pretty interesting. One day, I'll be able to finish a game of HeartGold so I can do that...

    Hey now, I didn't say I didn't like them. In fact, I do like them a little. Their design is pretty creative, and the creature that they're based on (the tsuchinoko) is pretty interesting.

    I think part of it is that they're hard enough to come by in the games that I never think to look for one. Also, this is kind of a silly reason, but I prefer my reptile Pokémon's faces to have muzzles instead of being flat. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I just like that look better.

    Regardless, that first picture is cute. D'awww... :)
  • I used one in heartgold.

    That is how I killed Miltank taking only one hit.

    Serene grace headbutt!

    But anyway it was pain to get, who wants to go in a cave where there is a 5% chance of getting a pokemon with two different abilities, one of which is useless?

    Still it's TONS of fun to use in HG/SS at the beginning of the game.

    By the end? Not so much.
  • I like that an awkward pudgy snake has Serene Grace.

    Naney, you find a lot of weird and oddball things to be cute as hell, don't you?

    Not saying that I disagree, mind you. But still.
