Oh Yahtzee, you and your "Pokemon Race Relations" joke infecting my brain...


PA did it too.

Gen 1 wise, I now have a Bulbasaur, Psyduck, Jiggly-Puff, Clefairy, Sneazel and Staryu, that I can remember off the top of my head. My friend and I really want to catch them all.

Though I'm guessing I'm not going to get all the special event pokemon, particularlty Mew and Mewtwo.

Wait, what Gen I are you playing? Sneasel is Gen II isn't it?

And also, Mewtwo isn't a special event pokemon. You get him in a cave you unlock at the end of the game. Just thought you might want to know...

Put your weaker Pokemon in the front of your team, then switch to the stronger Pokemon as soon as the battle starts. The weaker Pokemon will gain experience for being in the battle, as well as gain a little more exp if battling a Pokemon of a higher level.
I tend to be overly apologetic. Sorry about that.

Exp. Share + Lucky Egg is the best combo.

This. Soooo much. It helps that you can come upon two Exp Share and a Lucky Egg in the normal story and have a chance at extra Lucky Eggs as your daily "treasure" from the treasure hunter on Route 13.

Additionally, once you make it to Nimbasa City, clear out the Big Stadium and Little Court everyday; each day, trainers will appear in the stadiums, with more and stronger trainers chowing up depending upon how many badges you have and if you have beaten the Elite Four.

Gah, I'm stuck on my Lilligant's movepool for my university's pokemon league. So far I'm giving it: Giga Drain, Sleep Powder and Quiver Dance. I just need something else to give it that might help. I'm considering Attract, just to be a dick.

My Venusaur has Sleeppowder, Sunny Day, Solar Beam and Leech Seed. I've found it a good grass-type combo.

In other news, my Pokedex now has a Mewtwo. Oh yeah.

That sounds awesome.

Second, maybe see what type your Lilligant's Hidden Power would be? If it's a good type to cover Grass, like Rock (good against 4 of Grass's 5 weaknesses).

It is indeed awesome. 8 elemental gyms, the Elite 4 and a crowned Champion. Anyone who can clear all that will replace the old champion. I'm trying to remember what Hidden Power is affected by. I haven't really trained it yet.

...So do I continue to play some more Titan Quest or 'finally' pick up my copies of Black and White again to make some progress in time for the PGL?

Hmmmmmm...

EDIT: Apparently the PGL and DW are already active. Doing some research to find out if I can connect to it and still reset my game later.

Just finished the registration process and tucked in my first Pokemon. I'm getting a message saying it'll take about five or more minutes to finish initial registration, but once that's done, Dream World here I come!

Already played it for today myself with my white copy. Sent Zorua. Got an Oran berry and befriended a male Ponyta with Flame Body.

Gonna wake Zorua up first though, I dun want him locked into the Dream World until tomorrow. @_@

DJ, can you get on AIM shortly? I wanted to do some trades. I've found out how to change some stuff now so I'm gonna 'lock' my copies of Black and White to the PGL, but I still need to 'push' through that main campaign. So if you can, I'm up for those trades now.

Will be on in 5 to 10, gotta do some stuff.

Dang, still stuck at the "Processing registration data" message, after about 22 hours now. I'm glad I didn't try to tuck in one of my main team; it would be a pain to have it stuck in limbo like the Cubchoo I sent.

At least you didn't fall prey to unintentionally resetting you 'admission' clock for Game Sync.

Now I've got to wait roughly 23 hours and 45 minutes until I can play again.

Definitely gonna make sure that I have the 'perfect' choice of a pokemon to put in the DW next time, cause I'm gonna put them in there and leave it there for like, 3-5 days, just long enough before it would run away.

Carelessly messed around with the friend code for my Black copy, new FC is the following:

Kyo: 2322 6469 1723

Roselyn's code is still the same and do not expect the code to change again, I won't need it to thankfully.

That being said, I might participate in this weekend's battle night, if the following happens:
1. I don't get portal 2 from Gamefly tomorrow
2. My friend over live doesn't get it for a while

Considering I promised him that I would play the co-op with him, I'd be out of line going back on that now. So hopefully even if I complete the single player, that will still leave me with a good chunk of time to grind through White and Black and develop a strong team.

I just don't have a connection to anything yet, because for some reason, I can't find a good connection place, because my DS Lite isn't WPA compatible and it won't connect to my cell as a wifi hotspot.

Sorry, it sounds like a lot of people have the same issue. You could try and find a used USB wireless dongle online or at a Gamestop, or save up for a DSi or 3DS. It stinks that so many players are stuck without online play. T_T
