New to the forum here and figured I would make my first post in the Dream World section considering the fun I have had experimenting and exploring. Only got wifi recently and am still getting used to playing Pokemon with other people (haven't interacted with anyone on Pokemon since Red/Blue/Yellow... even then that was only with my brother... did all of the legwork in filling my pokedex all by myself). Working on some team building experiments and just cracked 10,000 points today, but still on the hunt for a handful of DW females.
Unfortunately, my computer is ten years old with a 512mb ram limit and has extreme displeasure for Firefox's plugin container extension (the heart and soul of the Dream World's functionality as well as streaming sites like YouTube), causing most flash material to be sluggish. Forget even playing with Wailord. So slow the timer takes 5 minutes to get to zero. Everything is in slow motion, and I never get females I am after from that game anyway. If I haven't just entered the DW or exited the DW temporarily, cleared the plugin container's cache and then re-entered the DW, then there's no point to trying the Sky Race. The timer moves at a normal pace, but the distance timer slows down... so it is impossible to reach the goal in time. I can play it twice maybe on a fresh entry to the dream world, but I have to have avoided any other game or situation because the plugin container just keeps chewing up resources on my system until the container finally just crashes from overload. Typically I just have to wander around hoping for the off chance that something I am looking for will have the hide and seek game, but it's a low percentage for a lot of them from my experience. Needing a new system aside, I think PGL and a number of sites could provide better service not relying so much on Flash.
It's a trial making do with the system I have, but it can be annoying at times. Still, I'm not bitter, and I keep at it. I am hoping to work my way up from amateur breeding and get some specialized DW combinations to add to the mix... but I haven't run across any special move Pokemon yet like the Dark Pulse Vulpix I saw mentioned earlier in this thread. That certainly would be a nice one to have. I'll have to keep researching on the Serebii pokedex to see what I can find, but it seems there is a great deal of benefit to egg breeding males on DPPtHGSS and then moving them over to BW to breed with the females. I doubt I'm handing off any new information, though. I'm working on a bit of that with Diamond at the moment, but I don't have access to a second DS for transferring between games more than every other weekend or so (still sitting on my thumbs waiting to transfer a male Goldeen with Body Slam and Aqua Tail from SoulSilver to White to egg breed with my female Lightningrod Seaking).
That being said and done, cracking 10,000 points today got me a Wide Lens right off the bat. Wasn't expecting an item like that so soon after hitting the mark, but it made up for not finding any females and being kicked off before getting the chance to snag a possible female Buneary.
Pardon the long-winded post. I get carried away a bit and am happy to join the ranks after just using serebii for my personal game research. It's past due I start reaching out a bit. :596:
