So, the Pokémon Power Bracket from a few weeks ago just ended. The final four were Mew, Celebi, Mewtwo, and Rayquaza. Mew ended up winning.
I would've liked Celebi to win, but Mew's an okay choice for a winner.

I'll second the Bulbasaur vote. As for the nickname, how about Canna? It seems like an appropriately flowery name.
Coincidentally, it's also Lorelei's name in the Japanese version.

Glad to hear you like Bulbasaur too!
And if you wanted a more masculine name instead, you could go with Nemo, after this flower.
Not that it really matters too much, since gendered Pokémon don't exist in Blue.

Hey, guys. Guess what it's time for? That's right. Another doublepost necro.
I sampled the first few minutes of White 2 a little bit ago. The game certainly gets right to the point. It's kinda funny how pretty much the second line of dialogue is, "Hey, we've got a starter Pokémon and a Pokédex for you. You know the drill, so get going!"
I'm having trouble thinking of names for my rival and my Snivy. I'm thinking of naming my rival Mark. It makes kind of a color pun; leaving marks on paper? Yes, I know it's dumb. Snivy's name, on the other hand, I don't know whether I want to be mythology-themed or plant-themed or game character-themed or whatever. pls halp

I was aiming for a girl. I'll keep that one in mind.
As a random note of reference, the Snivy I had on my first run of White 1 was a boy named Keela, after the villain of Legacy of the Wizard.
Also, Lazuli, you might be interested to know that the default name for the boy trainer in this game is Nate.

Yep, just the DS. There are a few extra benefits if you have a 3DS, but they're not really necessary.
Also, what the balls kind of name is Floccessy Town? I know it's a type of cloud, but still.

Speaking of town-like names, I could easily imagine someone naming a port town Lilycove.

This is how my first Gym Leader Battle just went:
"Heh, this is gonna be easy. That Patrat went down in two turns."
...
"WHAT?! I DIED TO HIS LILLIPUP?! Man, what a waste of two Potions."

I had neither Mareep, Azurill, nor Pidove. I was trying to do it solely with my Snivy and Riolu, both level 12. Oddly, things worked out a lot better when I decided to use Empress Botanica as my opener instead of Lei-long.
I've fallen a little behind (by which I mean I'm still inbetween the first and second gym) because I can't decide who I want to catch. I have, however, caught a Serene Grace Dunsparce today and named him Hypnos.
Do you think we should make a separate thread devoted to our travelogs for new Pokémon games?

^^Yep. There's a whole bunch of stuff you can catch in Floccessy Ranch.

Because thanks to the animated trailer, everyone and their grandmother wants a Lucario and an Arcanine on their team. I decided to pick one to stick with, and I know Lucario a little better.
Also yep. I wish to see the wonders of paraflinching for myself.

Have you found the Eevee place yet?
I can't decide whether I should make myself a Vaporeon, Umbreon, or Leafeon. I used a Dream World Jolteon in White 1, so I thought I should go for something different. Of course, in theory, I could have all three...
^Wow, that was fast. And yeah, I've heard it's a lot easier than last time.

I'm at the Virbank Complex. I want an Elekid. He (or possibly she) shall be my sincere ogre paladin who wears armor and needs Order.
Not even my Great Balls are catching one. What the balls, game?
So yeah, apparently Elekid has a ridiculously low catch rate. My only good chance will be if I have a sleep-inducing move, which I lack. Any suggestions?

I've got another idea, though it requires me to go out of my comfort zone a bit. See, Dunsparce learns Yawn at Level 16, so I can make Hypnos live up to his name and put the Elekid to sleep. I shall have to grind a bit. Wish me luck.

Awesome! I think that makes two of us with White 2 and two of us with Black 2.
In other news, female Eevee are a total pain in the butt to get in the Castelia City courtyard, even with repels.

I like Bianca's new glasses. And her choice of career, partly because Pokémon researcher sounds like the occupation I would gravitate toward if I was a Pokémon character.

Need PC name and starter name (and what starter I should get).
is your Snivy a boy or a girl?
If it's a girl, name it Botanica.
are B2 and W2 3DS games?
actually, "Floccessy" is probably the most town-like name for a town I've yet heard from a Pokemon game.
Well when I hear "pewter" I think the material.
Floccessy, assuming it's pronounced with hard C's (knowing me it probably ain't, but whatever) actually sounds like a name a town would have.
Sounds like a British hamlet, specifically.
"Mareep, paralyze. Switch in Azurill as a sacrifice. Switch in Pidove as a free switch. Leer. Growl whenever he uses Work Up. Murder"
Waitwaitwait YOU CAN CATCH A MAREEP IN B2/W2?
BEFORE THE FIRST GYM?
all my envy
all
of
it.
Why does everyone have a Riolu?
also holy shit, Dunsparce? Otherwise known as the most underrated Pokemon of all time?
I had one named Spacecase as part of my team back in gradeschool when G/S/C was out.
Good times.
And why won't my Riolu love me!? ;.;
And where IS the Eevee place?
Been doing it since March 7th
2011
Have yet to finish even the main story of Black/White due to it
And I will name him Joey
>start a new game
>female trainer named Kyoko
Let's fucken do this.
ooh, nice opening.
Reminds me a bit of the bygone G/S/C days for some reason.
It's a whole new world we live in
it's a whole new place
with a brand new attitude
but'cha still gotta catch 'em all
and be the best that you can be
[epic chorus]
Bianca!
It's Bianca everybody :D
I think my starter shall be Tepig, as it's the only B/W starter I have yet to use.
Also firetypelol.
Now the name, the name is another matter entirely.
