Unofficial B2W2 Discovery Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

[R_N]

So I noticed at the beginning of the second rival battle we are standing on grass and he only has one pokemon. So this is probably the second time we fight him, so why only one?

Probably doesn't want his Purrloin to get her before he gives it to his sister.
...well that's probably not the real reason, but it's sweet enough that I'd like to think so

 

[Serebii]

It's more a "the wording is unclear and I don't want to mislead"

 

[R_N]

Well... when is the second battle? Maybe he didn't find anything interesting to catch so far.

Sangi Ranch. Early on, I believe. Maybe he was overloaded by options, ha ha

 

[Bardische]

Serebii was unsure of the translation...

"Rematch a Gym Leader"

Oh, wait:

"Watch a Gym Leader battle another trainer"

I'm kidding :3

 

[R_N]

It's more a "the wording is unclear and I don't want to mislead"

Ah, makes sense. IT could be "You can't call Gym Leaders at all" for example.

 

[Excitable Boy]

I also despise the new Gym Leader trend. The whole purpose of trainers in the wild was to introduce you to the local Pokemon that can be found in the area. That's not the purpose of a Gym Leader. A Gym Leader is supposed to have interesting Pokemon early on that you encounter later as common or mainstream. Whitney's Miltank, Bugsy's Scyther, Misty's Starmie, even Brock's Onix are glimpses into a more masterful world.

I don't look at a Patrat or Lillipup and think "Wow, he's a master". I should not be able to have a better team than Cheren at his own level.

Ugh, this. C'mon, GameFreak. If these people are so awesome, why do their Pokemon suck? I want to see Roxanne's Nosepass, or Maylene's Lucario. Give 'em something that'll knock my socks off, make me step back from my 3DS, and say "crap, I've never fought one of these before, what do I do?"

 

[Bayleafqween]

I'm pretty satisfied so far that the X transceiver is actually going to be useful in game.

Also, any news on Hugh's team?

Exactly. I mean, look at Cheren's team, a Youngster could use that. Or do better than that...

Definitely has a starter type advantageous to yours.

Youngster Joey's shorts are laughing at Cheren's unnecessarily tight pants.

 

[βƹβƹ ɱɪɢηѻη]

Both games are region locked according to Pokebeach. I thought it was already confirmed ages ago?

"Gym Leaders may not be at their gyms when you first get there"

 

[diakyu]

Well... when is the second battle? Maybe he didn't find anything interesting to catch so far.

I would say it's somewhere near the farm area near sangi town. And Blue had a pidgey in his second fight, i'm pretty sue Hyu could've found something.

 

[Ver-mont]

Yes. And Cheren's Patrat isn't even in the top percentage of Patrat like Joey's.

 

[Excitable Boy]

Clearly he's overlevelling his starter and just sweeping every Gym with that. We've never seen him with anything else.

When you battle him before the E4, it'll be something like Lv. 65.

 

[Bardische]

"Gym Leaders may not be at their gyms when you first get there"

Well, that's not really...new...but interesting nonetheless.

But if I have to look for Burgh looking for ~inspiration~ in Nacrene I will break my DS.

Yes. And Cheren's Patrat isn't even in the top percentage of Patrat like Joey's.

Lmao.

 

[R_N]

Yes. And Cheren's Patrat isn't even in the top percentage of Patrat like Joey's.

I like to imagine that Lenora laughs about this behind his back.

 

[diakyu]

What do you mean we might have to find them. They found us in B&W.

 

[Excitable Boy]

But if I have to look for Burgh looking for ~inspiration~ in Nacrene I will break my DS.

Elesa is shopping for clothes, she can't fight you right now

Why not go look for her

I'm going to make a few predictions just for fun, then I'll be able to check back and see if I was correct or incorrect:

1. Drayden won't have a Haxorus. He'll have Fraxure, but not Haxorus.

2. Lenora is in the Elite Four.

3. Iris is Champion.

 

[Grei]

Told you guys Skyla was no different~

Guys I didn't know Chomper was in this thread

I said that on the other thread and people got angry at me

Haters.


I seriously don't get the get-Pokemon-available-by-now rule. It's as if the Gym Leaders all started from Nuvema or Aspertia, traveled up until their respective city, set up camp, and then had the people there say "uhh you wanna be Gym Leader?" Giving them Pokemon that we've almost certainly learned how to handle is making it a little too easy.

This is probably correct, due to him being leader 7. Unless the levels pick up the pace after Elesa, he won't get high enough to even reach BW1's undereleveled Haxorus
