Older Gens Help Thread

If anybody Has a Question about the next upcoming event for B2/W2. Thats y I posted this, to inform People about the Next Event.

 

Uh, okay. It was just weird because you didn't actually link to or explain any info about it at all, you just linked to Serebii and showed an image.

Currently available only in France is the Keldeo and the Rocket's Meowth's was in Japan and discontinued on the 10th. Maybe they'll see an international release.

 

update of the Keldeo Event from Pokémon.com

Add the strength and resolve of the Mythical Pokémon Keldeo to your Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2 game in a special distribution event via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection! Keldeo will be available from January 25th to February 12th, 2013.


Question where to find Uxie Azelf and Mesprit in Unova after encountering them in the cave beyond the 2nd route?

 

So I finished the main story line of Pokémon black and caught Reshiram... Hoorah! So um, what now? Find the seven sages? Catch the other legendary? Go to the battle subway? Any suggestions?

 

There are a few other routes you have access to now which contain older-gen Pokémon, as well as Kyurem to catch, and then there's always the Seven Sages of course. When you find each of them they give you a TM, some of the ones they give out are pretty useful, for example Swords Dance.

 

I read the earlier posts asking about the names of 4th gen Pokémon upon transferral. I've transferred a load of Pokémon, so I can shed a bit of light on the topic.

When you migrate a Pokémon, it will keep its capitalised nickname. Say I transferred my Pichu from Diamond to White, its name will remain as PICHU. However, when I evolve it, its name will change to Pikachu. Evolving a Pokémon will cause its name to become properly cased. If you have given that Pokémon a nickname, the nickname will disappear. If I called my Pichu VOLTY, it will evolve and assume the name Pikachu.

My copy of White is on an R4i, so I was able to enable a cheat that allowed me to rename all of my migrated Pokémon to lower case names. I didn't have to rename any Pokémon that could still evolve, because their names would change upon evolution.

 

Thanks, I was curious about that. I like to keep things uniform as far as capitalization goes. It's nice that it does it for you upon evolution.

 

Are you sure about the nicknames being ignored upon evolution?

Anyway, this works like that because they added a bit of information (Actually a bit, 1/8 of a byte) in each Pokémon that states if they were ever nicknamed.
So if you got a Horsea from the GTS with the name タッツー, upon evolution, even in Gen IV, it'll be named SEADRA. (Or Seadra if evolved in B/W/B2/W2)

 

I looked it up before I posted just to be sure, so yes, I'm sure. If you plan on migrating any Pokémon all the way up to fifth generation and they can't evolve any more, you'd best nickname them in the game they're currently in.

 

Aware of the double post, but nobody would know if I just edited my question in.

New question to ask: what does challenge mode actually do? I activated it and it said that trainer Pokémon had higher levels. So I went into battle expecting to get a run for my money, and there's barely a difference anyway. I battled the trainers in the stadiums in Nimbasa city and the breeder on route 4, and I saw no real difference in Pokémon levels.

 

I'm debating about restarting my B2, but I have a Keldeo in that game? What should I do?

 

If you have another fifth gen game you could move your Keldeo into that game so that you don't lose it when restarting Black 2.

 

Alternatively, if you don't have another game to trade it to, don't hold onto it just because it's a legendary. If you'll never use it, then it'll just sit in your box forever anyway. You don't even need it to complete the Pokédex. So unless it's got flawless IVs and you're planning to use it in competitive battles, I'd say don't be scared of restarting. It's just pixels anyway. Not to mention you could just trade for another one later if you really needed one, or even use programs like Pokegen if you don't mind the taboo of that sort of stuff.

 

The major differences are in the Elite 4. I use Challenge Mode to train my Pokémon to Lv. 100 by grinding on the E4.

 

I found all the seven (technically six, because you never find Ghetsis, go figure,) but you can't catch Zekrom since N has it.
My friend has told me (and beware I'm not sure this is true because I haven't tried it yet) that if you have around 10 friends on your Pal Pad and you go to the Chat Room (I think that's what it's called) in the Pokémon Center, you'll meet N there. According to my friend, and again I don't know if he's telling the truth, N will say a few things to you, then will give you Zekrom if you promise to take care of it.
But I don't know if that's true or not. If you want Zekrom, too, I'd look for it in trade. But you can try the pal pad thing if you want and tell me if it works.
