5th Gen Recent Happenings Thread

[Kalosian]

Did a few more catches today. On Black 2, I caught Shelmet, Vanillish and Woobat. On White 2, I caught Purrloin, Patrat and Basculin. I still have two more Pokemon to catch on each game and I am going to get them tomorrow.

 

[Mrs. Oreo]

- In White 2 I left the Nature Preserve once I had caught tonnes of pokemon and I headed to Lentimas town next and visited Reversal Mountain and I visited the Strange House as well. :3
- Inside the Strange House, I saw moving furniture and caught a Banette which I bred next since I wanted to hatch a Shuppet egg. I went to my Join Avenue after that and added a shop.
- I finished renovating Join Avenue and visited Castelia's sewers and caught pokemon as well. I exchanged pokemon inside Castelia's pokemon center and went to Seaside Cave after that.

 

[Bananarama]

So we soared to Lentimas Town, and I explored the town for a while. I found a creepy old house, and after being haunted by a ghost girl, I found a Lunar Wing. I made my way to the Reversal Mountain, where I found Bianca again. After escorting her to the end, we went our separate ways. After arriving in Undella Town, I saved.

 

[Kalosian]

Did the final catches today. On Black 2, I caught Litwick and Stunfisk. On White 2, I caught Solosis and Ducklett. And with those, I had obtained all the Pokemon I needed. Sent them over to Alpha Sapphire through Pokemon Transporter and Bank. Now I am almost done with what I wanted to do on B2/W2 for the moment as well, just one small thing left which I will do next.

 

[Bananarama]

Before exploring Undella Town, I went back to the creepy house near Lentimas to retrieve an item I forgot to pick up. I went back to Undella, and I explored the surrounding area for a while, battling trainers and finding items. I was prevented from entering White Forest by some people who were dancing for no reason. I bumped into my rival, who challenged me to a battle. I crushed his Unfezant with my Krookodile and overpowered his Serperior with my Volcarona. Once I defeated him, I saved.

 

[Mrs. Oreo]

- I caught wild pokemon that I needed at the Seaside Cave and went to the pokemon league area next and challenged Unova's E4 again for money. I defeated Grimsley and Caitlin fast. :]
- I challenged Shauntal and her ghost types next and I struggled a little against her and Marshal was even tougher to defeat cuz I didn't have any flying or psychic type pokemon with me.
- I soon accessed Iris' chamber and I defeated her in a jiffy. I was back at Aspertia city once the credits had passed, and I went shopping at the mall at Route 9 next. I then flew to Humilau.

 

[Bananarama]

So I headed north, and I battled several trainers, including some fishermen. I stumbled upon a Cobalion, and I managed to catch it with my last remaining Great Ball. Unfortunately, my Krookodile fainted in the process. I then waltzed into Lacunosa Town, and I bumped into the professor and Bianca. Juniper escorted us to a house, where we were told a story about a monster in the Giant Chasm. I then saved.

Did a few things on White 2 today. First, I left the World Tournament and flew over to Nimbasa City. After strolling around the city for a bit, I went down to Join Avenue. I stopped by all of my florist shops and bought a whole bunch of berries. Then, I went to the raffle place, where I entered the draw and won a Full Heal.

Next, I made my way to the Marvelous Bridge. I rode my bike across it a couple of times and picked up a few wings along the way. When I had enough of that, I flew to Nacrene City. I did some exploring and eventually ended up in Striaton City, where I entered the old Gym and battled Cilan and Chili with Cress as my partner. I used my Rapidash in that battle and won very easily.

Finally, I visited a few more areas around Unova. I went to Mistralton for a while before heading to Lacunosa Town and the Village Bridge area.

 

[Kalosian]

Did one more thing on these games. Which was to re-explore the majority of Unova, I visited all cities and towns as well as most routes and several landmarks just to look at the scenery, listen to the music and speak to people. I also went to the Pokemon League to buy various Poke Balls. In other words, I didn't really do anything.

I am unsure if I will ever return to B2/W2 for something serious at this point. I wish I could, but I have no idea about what that would be. I can't think of anything, sadly. Seeing as Sun/Moon will be compatible with Bank, I wonder if it will be possible to transfer Pokemon from Gen 5 directly to them? But even if that should be the case, I think I'd rather send over Pokemon from Gen 6 than from Gen 5. So I don't know if I'll ever get back to playing Gen 5. Which feels a bit sad, but I can't play the games just for the sake of playing them, I need to move on. All four are still my favorites though and I'll never forget the fun I had while playing them.

 

[Bananarama]

Once we left the house, we talked about Reshiram for a while. I then went to see my rival, and we encountered Zinzolin. We then decided to battle him and a grunt in a tag team battle, and we won. Once that was over, I went west, and I reached the Village Bridge. I battled some trainers and enjoyed the BGM for a while, and then I saved.

Today, I flew to Nimbasa on White 2 and entered the Pokemon Center. I withdrew my Porygon-Z from the PC and then headed to the stadiums. There, I battled a few trainers with my Porygon-Z and got it to level up. I also received some items from some of the trainers I defeated. After that, I went over to the Musical Theater and entered Porygon-Z in the Forest Stroll Musical. I dressed it up in as many props as possible, until it was completely unrecognizable, and then started the Musical. Porygon-Z did pretty well and got the best review at the end.

When that was over, I rode my bike over to Driftveil City. I went to the marketplace there and stocked up on MooMoo Milks.

 

[Crobat_Curse]

I've neglected updating this in a while, but I managed to defeat the Elite Four a few weeks back, and have spent the remainder of the time re-breeding some of my team (namely Emboar and Seviper) for egg moves and DW abilities, and then EV training/levelling them up. I've also been farming for EV-reducing berries for the rest of the team, plus shards for a few tutor moves. Essentially I've just been making them competitively viable for use in the PWT. They've actually been having quite a bit of success - I've managed to defeat all the regional tournaments, and I'm currently making my way through the type experts.

I went further west, and I stumbled upon Virizion. Even though it KO'd my Unfezant, I was able to catch it with only a few Ultra Balls. I then walked into Opelucid City, and I met Iris there. She told me about Drayden, and I explored the city for a bit. I went on a shopping spree at the mall west of Opelucid, and I later saved.

I continued doing things in Driftveil City today. First, I went to have a battle with Hugh. I used my Porygon-Z for most of the battle and was able to take down Hugh's Pokemon easily, and even gained a level. After that, I healed at the Pokemon Center and then wasted some time playing music on my Gym Badges (which is always super fun). Then, I biked back to Nimbasa and returned to Join Avenue. I won a PP Up at my raffle shop and recommended shops to a couple of visitors.

Next, I flew to Black City. I entered the Black Tower and went to Area 5 to do some more training with Porygon-Z. It took me a little longer than expected to find the gate trainer, since he was in this one really secluded room, but I managed to get lots of training done. I defeated the boss trainer of that area and then saved back in the lobby.

 

[Bananarama]

I walked into the gym and defeated all of the gym trainers. After a long and rough battle against Drayden, I earned my seventh badge. He took me to his house, and we talked for a bit before we heard a loud noise. We found out that Team Plasma had arrived and almost destroyed the city. We defeated Zinzolin and some grunts, and Drayden gave me the DNA Splicers, which were later stolen from us. I then saved.

Returned to Nimbasa City today and went over to the Battle Subway. I decided to do the regular Singles line again, so I got together a team of Gengar, Hydreigon, and Scizor. The trainers I faced weren't that tough and I swept most of them with just Gengar. I only had to use Scizor a couple of times. When I got to the Ingo battle, though, I suddenly lost due to his Crustle & Klinklang being overly critical hit-happy. It was really, really dumb. Anyway, I did not feel like doing anything else after that, so I just saved back at the terminal. Will probably return to the World Tournament next time I want to get BP.

 

[Bananarama]

So I flew to Undella Town, and I sailed east from there. I arrived at the entrance to Seaside Cave, and I battled a guy and his Roggenrola. I made my way out of the cave, and I sailed north until I arrived in Humilau City. I met up with Hugh there, and I explored the town and Marine Tube for a while. I located Marlon in the water, and I saved afterwards.

White 2

Ahh yes, somewhere I can journal my things. Playing White 2, as I already played Black 2 (like I usually do with other games). I already beat the Elite Four and Champion, Iris...

So my player, Nate, got a visit from Cedric Juniper to have its Pokedex upgraded to National Mode. Then Hugh and his little sister, Tami, thanked Nate for helping rescue Liepard. Hugh tells Nate that Tami has been having dreams about a Zoroark at Victory Road calling out to Nate. Hugh advises to Nate that he should go talk to Alder about it since Alder knows Victory Road very well. Nate goes to Floccesy Town to meet with Alder. Alder says he never saw a Zoroark before in the time he was a Champion so Zoroark' s appearance must have been recent. Alder then asks Nate for a battle, in which Nate accepts. Nate and his Oshawott (lvl 76), Lucario (lvl 72), Growlithe (lvl 74), Zorua (lvl 74), Deerling (lvl 75), and Cobalion (lvl 78) battle and defeat Alder and his Bouffalant, Accelgor, Escavalier, Braviary, Conkeldurr, and Volcarona. Then, Alder' s grandson, Benga, barges in and boasts about how he got through White Treehollow. Benga challenges Nate to a battle but only if Nate completes the White Treehollow challenge. Benga leaves and Nate leaves his Growlithe, Deerling, and Cobalion in his PC and then heads off to Victory Road.

So now at Victory Road, Nate spots the Zoroark which was the mysterious Pokemon he first saw when he traversed through Victory Road the first time. He follows it and find N' s castle. There, he sees N and learns about N's childhood and upbringing. Then Nate tells N about Tami' s dream. N finds that peculiar since he did not deliberately have Zoroark enter Tami's dreams as Zoroark does not have that kind of POWER but N did want to talk to Nate, regardless. N feels as though he is no longer the hero Reshiram needs to recognize. N recently spoke to the Pokemon that N consults the future with (like he did in Black and White when N and Hilda were recognized as the two heroes Reshiram and Zekrom recognized). N was told by the Pokemon of a premonition, "a hero who faces the challenge in the tree will be worthy of the Dragon in the time of need." N believes Nate is that hero and so N with only Reshiram, challenges Nate to a battle. Nate and his Oshawott, Lucario, and Zorua who evolves into Zoroark in the middle of battle, defeat N and Reshiram. N then releases Reshiram and Reshiram turns into the Light Stone. N gives it to Nate and asks him to challenge the "tree" and after, head to Dragonspiral Tower to be worthy of Reshiram. Meanwhile, Tami goes to Floccesy Ranch to play and there meets Benga. Then, Tami lets Liepard out and plays with her Liepard to try to bond with it after being traumatized from Team Plasma use. Liepard goes on a rampage and is about to lash out at Tami but Benga uses his Volcarona to stop Liepard. Tami calls her Liepard back in its Pokeball. Back to Nate, Nate decides to go to White Treehollow to fulfill the Pokemon's premonition.

And that is where I am at.

Today, I went back to the World Tournament on White 2. I decided to do the rental tournament, since I don't choose that option that often. I chose Triples as the battle format, so I had to use all six rental Pokemon shown to me. Most of them weren't too bad, though I got a Vanillite and a Vanillish, which was a little strange (and the Vanillite had the better moveset...), but whatever. Anyway, my first round battle wasn't too bad. In the second round, I faced Elesa, who was a tough opponent. She had this super sweeping Herdier that KOed my otherwise useful Krokorok and Gothorita, plus this killer Joltik that Signal Beamed my Dwebble to death and came close to knocking out Vanillish.

After almost losing to Joltik of all things, I faced Clay in the final round, and had no trouble defeating him since he had the weakest team out of the three trainers I faced. So, I won the whole tournament and received some nice BP as a reward.

Those are not easy to beat so my congrats to you.

Now Nate is entering the White Treehollow and learning all the rules to successfully get through it. Nate learned there is a gate trainer that unlocks the gate to get to the Boss Trainer of each area. There is also a nurse that heals Nate' s Pokemon once if the nurse is defeated in battle. So Nate enters Area 1 and begins. In the meantime, N returns to the Plasma shelter where Anthea and Concordia, N' s adopted sisters, are. There Hugh heads out. Hugh has been helping Team Plasma reunite Pokemon taken by Team Plasma with their original trainers. N tells Anthea and Concordia he released Reshiram in the form of a Light Stone to Nate. The two ladies grow angry and disagree to what N did. The three have a major argument which causes N to storm out, but once he does, The Shadow Triad appear and take him captive. Back at Hugh and Tami's house, Tami tries to hide her wounds from her Liepard's attempt to attack. Tami hears something from behind the bushes of her home and when she goes to look, she finds a rare Pokemon spying on her, Meloetta. Meloetta and Tami begin to get to know each other and play. Nate finds the gate trainer and battles her, unlocking the gate to the Boss trainer. Nate enters the room where the gate is and challenges the Boss Trainer, Abigail, to a battle. Nate and his Oshawott, Lucario, and Zoroark defeat Abigail and her Watchog, Whirlipede, and Golett. Nate completes Area 1. The Shadow Triad have N captive and torture N for betraying Ghetsis but when N screams from agony, The Shadow Triad reveal N is not "the one" they are looking for. N is returned to where he was taken and as Hugh returns, he finds an injured N and takes him back inside the Plasma house to seek medical attention from Anthea and Concordia. As for Tami, Meloetta soothes Tami's pain from the scuffle with Liepard. Tami decides to keep Meloetta a secret.

And that's when I am at.
