Got Black 2 and White 2. Since Black was my main game between Black and White, started up Black 2 first, but will start up White 2 as well today just so it says my adventure started a day earlier. ^^
Played through to the point where I met up with Bianca (again), but shut it off without saving because I forgot to upload memories from Black. After adding the memories, I quickly sped through to the point I shut it off the first time. Picked up a new little oshawott since my first one was an oshawott. He was Yunowun (combination of Uno from Unova and one as in the first pokémon in this new region) an this new on is Lilwun. Even Bianca called him a little one. ^^ Battled Hugh's snivy, but was confused when he said he hatched it from an egg when Bianca just gave it to him. ?
Went through the basics and shut it off after she taught me how to catch a pokémon.
Ok, so went along doing the basic stuff up until getting to Cheren's gym. It was nice seeing Clyde again. As usual, he gave me some fresh water. Moving on with only my Lilwun, we defeated each of the trainers on the field, they could have been close battles though with the stat modifications going on. In the first battle after defeating the guy's patrat which lowered Lilwun's def, right away I used the gift x defend on Lilwun to bring his def to normal...only for the lillipup to lower his def again. But like I said, we won those two battles.
Next it was time to beat Cheren. His patrat was about the same as the other trainer's pokémon. His lillipup was tougher. I believe he's the only pokémon I fought at this point who was the same level as Lilwun. We lost, but I cheated and ran from the fight (shut the game off and restarted from the save in front of Cheren). The next battle was basically the same; I even ran again. The third battle we won (which was luck since he just kept using work up and Lilwun finally got a crit from using focus energy he learned from defeating the patrat), but after talking with Cheren (who didn't mind me cheating in our first two battles), the other trainers, and most importantly Clyde who put on a smile telling me how I'll always remember this badge. Like someone pushing but not shoving someone to make the right decision, I took Clyde's words to heart and gave the badge and tm back to Cheren. I didn't want to win that way; what would I be teaching my Lilwun? So Lilwun and I battled him again. To make amends, we lost the battle at the lillipup (even though he just kept working up again) and gave the money Cheren deserved from our first loss. We headed back to make amends with our second lost battle. Since Lilwun hadn't used his oran berry, I swapped it with a new one and threw the old one away to make up for the last time. The other trainers' lillipup fought over the tossed oran berry. Second battle we did the same thing: beat the patrat and lost to the lillipup, handed over more money, healed, and tossed another unused berry. Now my conscience was clear, and we'd try again for real this time. Everything was as if we lost the first two battles and accepted our loss (Lilwun was still the same level, though he had extra attack evs that I doubt affected things). If we won, great, but if we lost, we'd try again (though if I would otherwise run out of oran berries, I'd prolly ask Cheren to not count that battle ^^u). So again, we battled his patrat who I told Lilwun that while he's easier than his lillipup, that we shouldn't get cocky. We beat him and next battled his lillipup once again. I decided, since this was more of a luck battle, to focus on using our focus energy water gun combo which payed off in our last win against him. No crits, but we did take him out. I think even Cheren didn't pull punches like the last time (to maybe make me realize something?) and actually may have scored a work uped tackle which we survived. We even got to use the oran berry this time. ^^ Cheren handed me my badge and tm back and recited his last speech saying "That battle has made me feel really glad you were my first challenger as a Gym Leader… I give you this in honor of the strength you and your Pokémon showed!". Clyde also repeated his saying which was more sincere. "I hope you'll remember the wonderful moment in which you received that Badge forever."
Well, this sure will be a memory now. ^^
Let's see. Since my last post, I've basically done a whole bunch of ev training (and to a lesser extent, did some Join Avenue stuff and beat Ingo and Emmet with Rosa). Finished eving Grandage first. Sent him to Black to double check everything and found out I messed up a little getting confused with his power item, but figured out where I went wrong, gave him some ev reducing berries, sent him back to Black 2 to get the right evs, sent him back to Black to give him some wings to finish his training, and double checked again and did it correctly this time. The next, and currently last, ev trained poke on my team is Lilwun. Did the same sending him to Black to double check. Everything was done correctly thank goodness, just gave him a wing since he has pokérus and can't get just 1 ev (though I could have double checked and sent him back to Black 2 to get the remaining ev now that I think about it since it would have been his last).Ok, haven't really posted much about my game since my last post here (which is the last quote in this post). After getting the first badge, went to the ranch to catch some pickup lillipup (to trade over to my Black since I'm trying to get two pickup lillipup for each level of pickup, so a total of ten) to trade in some low level pokémon I had wanted to train but never got around to. So after trading in my team became Lilwun my oshawott, Maiden my panpour, a currently unnamed pansage, and Grandage another pansage. I'm ev training while going through the game, so I planned my way to Virbank fighting only wanted and mandatory battles. Did the basic stuff and then decided to do some ev training before fighting Roxie. I fought two trainers who had two pokémon so I'd only defeat the first and lose to the second so I could keep getting evs that way (stocked up on pokéballs and primier balls so I wouldn't just lose the money). Defeated all the trainers before her using whichever pokémon of mine needed the evs and then battled Roxie. It went well, but on her last pokémon she knocked out the only pokémon I had to take the 2 def evs. Since I was at an advantage and could have easily defeated her whirlipede, I canceled the battle so my pokémon could be healed at the center (had no revives) and get the evs. This was fine with her. We started again and Grandsage beat her whirlipede easily and got the 2 def evs. After defeating Roxie, I caught another pickup lillipup to trade for an old dratini I found in my FireRed. It was a perfect addition to the team since I wanted to raise a dragonite in this gen since it learns a level up move it doesn't in others and it was at a level that now I was able to train without the badge numbers getting in the way. I also caught a koffing as a souvenir of Roxie and the Toxics. Things went on pretty linear after that just going through the game; introduced to Pokéstar Studios, brought back Pop Roxie, defeated Team Plasma grunts, and finally headed to Castelia.
It was interesting seeing Castelia after two years. Got the dowsing machine from Bianca, did some ev training by battling in the Gamefreak building, and finally did the sewers. Hugh helped me out and we took out the two Plasma grunts. Hugh was still itching to beat Plasma, but Burgh popped up and told him it was clear from that point on in the sewers. Hugh went off and I talked a little to Burgh. Than Colress said something and kept on walking. Burgh didn't recognize him (which shouldn't he have seen him down there?), but then he headed back to his gym. Before leaving the sewers, I found a rattata that wanted to battle and that got lilwun his 10th speed ev. Headed out of the sewers and talked a little to Iris giving me options such as seeing how well I'd do battling Burgh. I decided I would fight the gym now, but first sent Lilwun to Black to give him nine carbos to help his training.
Finally got to the gym and WOW! It's really beautiful and the music is relaxing. Now I'm curious to see how all the gyms look now. Burgh's got a new gimmick, instead of honey walls, now he's got a cocoon theme. Figured out how they worked and proceeded through the gym. Battled all the trainers I had to battle. I was running out of needed evs for the only poke I have that's collecting def ones, so I decided to avoid the last minion of the gym and head straight to Burgh when ready since I'd have to get his def evs if I wanted the badge. All battling in the gym up to this point was fine. The only fighters were Lilwun and Grandage. Lilwun took out the speedy combee with razor shell and Grandage took out the tough bug/grass with acrobatics (only didn't ohko while holding item the swadloon) I taught before sending them over or seed bomb in the case of the dwebble. Finally went to fight Burgh. Was actually nervous since I'd be using water and grass types. First was his swadloon against Grandage who knocked it out in one hit with acrobatics (I removed his lucky egg just to be safe). Next was his dewebble who I had him use seed bomb on. It took out about a third of his hp. I was really nervous about struggle bug, but luckily he setup with a rock polish...unfortunatly it made his bug faster and it went first the next turn. He used struggle bug, but luckily the training payed off I guess since it didn't do much at all. I leech seeded to get some hp back and I think leered while he struggled with struggle bug. Finally I knocked it out with a final seed bomb. Next was his leavanny. I really wanted to swap in all the pokémon that would benefit with the 3 evs it gives out when beaten, so first Lilwun started, switched into the unnamed pansage who took razor leaves that took almost half of his hp since he wasn't as leveled as the others, and then I switched in Grandage who took struggle bug. His leavanny's struggle bug was much more powerful, so I healed with fresh water and the next struggle bug took about half of Grandage's now full hp. Grandage took another struggle bug going into the yellow, but his next attack of a full benefited acrobatics ohko the leavanny (I think they were the same level).
Great battle. Burgh's really cool and it was interesting to hear him brag about his bugs before the battle and than learning about his interest in bug types after the battle. It reminded me of how I became fascinated with psychic types all those years ago in gen I.
Well I got my White 2 today.
Watched the epic opening scene of the game.
Choose female trainer
Named myself after my own name
Named my rival Hugh
Agreed with my mum to have a pokedex and pokemon
Went and met Bianca and there I saved my game.
Finally settled on Brave Snivy. Still yet to choose a decent nickname for him.
Easily and happily beat Hugh in the battle.
Headed from route 19 and was taught how to catch a pokemon.
Headed up north and met Alder
Headed to Floccesy Town and headed north into the ranch.
Saved my game here
In Floccesy Ranch I caught myself a Lax Natured Riolu and nickanmed him 'Anubis'
didnt want to end up finding another since they are so rare here and it took ages to find one.
Currently heading through the ranch looking for the lost Herdier and training up my Snivy and Anubis up to level 15 during this time
Still working out what pokemon I want in my team.
And huge error made I forgot to save it after completing the ranch!!! So I'm looking ALL OVER AGAIN!
And on the plus side came across a Lonely natured Female Riolu nicknamed her Aurora so very happy so going to train up my pokemon to Level 15 since I got crit haxed on both pokemon whilst battling Cheran the cheating hexer!
How can you have a level 30 Samurott?Dewott evolves into Samurott at level 36.Did you cheat/hack?
Oops, I made a mistake. Those were the levels they started with, not counting the evolutions *edited previous post*(S)He also has a lvl 29 Magmar, iirc Magmar can't be caught and Magby evolves at lvl 30.
