I got a question, is it still possible to use the Masuda method in Black and White?

It is. In fact... the odds of hatching a shiny via the Masuda Method are even higher this gen. And yes, you can use an everstone while MMing in gen V.

Can't wait for my Shiny ZoruaHas this been confirmed? I thought the Everstone effect didn't appear with MM.
I'm pretty sure smogon confirmed it a while back when they confirmed the new masuda method odds. Everyone's just been calling that (along with the new odds) speculation since then for...I'm not even sure why. But, in addition to that I know several hunters have managed to hatch good natured shinies using the masuda method with the resulting shinies having the same nature as the everstone parent. I think it's pretty safe to assume the everstone has an effect.

what does the everstone do in the masuda method

it shone! ^_^
It seems to work in B/W. I was getting lots of Timid Vulpix when I was breeding them; my shiny Vulpix was also Timid natured.
Right now I'm breeding for a shiny Scraggy; and I'm getting loads of Jolly natured ones, too. I stopped counting after a while, but I think at one point 15 out of 25 hatched Scraggy were Jolly natured like the mother.
I'm still hatching for a shiny Scraggy. I'm currently at 2120 eggs hatched... >.>
And I've been doing a little SR'ing for a shiny Pansage. Currently at 295 SR. I hope Pansage/Pansear/Panpour don't have a shiny check like some of the other Pokemon.
It gives you a 50% chance of the hatched Pokemon having the same nature as the mother.

I just caught a shiny female Pidove. ^^
Ok, so I was playing around (just got the game today) in the dark grass, randomly thinking how the chance on finding a shiny pokemon doubles when two enter. After I thought that, a Patrat and Pidove popped out and I noticed the Pidove was shiny. When I killed the Patrat and the game wouldn't let me throw a pokeball, I almost cried. I then tried an idea out by having my pokemon knock each other out. When I was down to my last pokemon, the game let me throw a pokeball and I caught it. ^^ (I was so nervous)

SRs are soft resets. Basically if you want to get a shiny starter or legendary, then once you get to it and it's not shiny, you reset your game (not sure how) so it goes back to the last place you saved really quickly. That way, if you repeat that a bunch of times, you may find a shiny.
Also, I'm pretty sure the Masuda Method is that egg Pokemon have a better chance of being shiny then random encounter Pokemon (although I could be wrong)

Eggs with parents of different nationalities have more of a chance of being Shiny.

LOL OK, this actually happened to me too once, but I didnt just let my team knock each other out XD
What happens is, if you have one of your pokémon attack and then you throw a pokéball (a la pokémon XD etc) the game wont let you throw it and it'll say "you need to concentrate" or something.
What you need to do is on that turn ONLY throw a pokéball and you'll be fine. No need to knock your team out.

Oh, right, thanks. I knew I was forgetting something, because that originally seemed too basic.
