Pokemon Black and White (Spoiler Warning)

[The Real Gamer]

Wait what the **** are the **** goggles ****ing real or not? Sick of this "yeah they're real" "no they aren't real" bull****.

 

[Wave⁂]

No one in the past week has said they are real.

 

[Zook]

EDIT: Nevermind, everyone else said what I just did last page.

So... Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the swimming goggles are fake. They really don't make sense.

 

[UltiMario]

Well, over local Wireless WITHOUT messing with options your team is shown to your opponent.

Oh well.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Well, over local Wireless WITHOUT messing with options your team is shown to your opponent.

Oh well.

So essentially unless hackers can somehow implement blind teams then this will get really dumb.

Well, there's always Pokemon Online for blind playing.

 

[The Real Gamer]

No one in the past week has said they are real.

Not on other forums I've seen plenty of people asking if they're real or not and people giving different answers.

 

[Clownbot]

What were Swimming Goggles supposed to do again?

 

[Tomo Takino]

Swimming Goggles were suppose to increase your speed an accuracy by one stage. If you were not a water type, you would be put to sleep.

These items were an unsubstantiated rumor that probably slipped in on the backs of more legit information. It took people quite a while to release that no such item existed within the games code.

 

[Tamoo]

tomo: are them DSs for real? Any chance of them getting released outsisde japanese waters?

 

[Tomo Takino]

they are real, but no word if they are coming state side or not

Oh well.

I hope the online battle simulators give us the choice of hiding teams, I mean I don't want to see your team, I like being surprised and then having to adapt and battle on.

 

[Wave⁂]

Well, there's always Pokemon Online for blind playing.

Well, now that you mention it... I wouldn't count on that.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Needs to be 3DS's x.x (Those DS's a few pages back)

 

[Chill]

Yeah, with the 3DS coming it's hard to get excited about those.

It's almost hard for me to get excited about the 3DS because I know a 3DSLite will be released the following year.

 

[Tomo Takino]

You're going to want to wait for the 3DS 2nd version even more than any previous handheld. The 3D technology is fastly advancing, and though the 3DS does provide 3D viewing in about half of the possible viewing ranges, it won't be long till they get true 360 degree 3D view. It won't be just a smaller version as we saw in the past, or a stronger backlight, no, it'll be a complete fullfillment of the devices original purpose, comparable to the Wii before Wii motion plus.

 

[Wave⁂]

360 degree 3D view

Wait wait wait. Isn't that... that's a hologram.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

What were Swimming Goggles supposed to do again?

+(10/20%) attack power and accuracy to any Water-type, while any non-Water-type falls asleep.

I remember hearing stuff about Rain+Swimming Goggles but I'm not too sure. Nobody is too sure.

 

[Tomo Takino]

Wait wait wait. Isn't that... that's a hologram.

What I'm refering to is being able to view the 3DS from any angle and acheive a 3D effect. Currently the DS has I believe 60 something angles it can be viewed from, but the development of these kinds of screens is quickly advancing, and I imagine within a year and a half, Nintendo will reveal this version of the 3DS.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Imma wait for the 4DS

So you mean 180 degrees?

 

[Tomo Takino]

Oh. . yeah, I guess so xD boy do I have to study for this ACT xDDDD

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Hold on. I'm confused as to why discussions on the 3DS and angling relates to the Swimming Goggles?

 

[Wrath`]

Swimming Goggles= 3D Goggles?

I kinda need to get the 3DS when it hit stores, as my current DS light is trashed.(Still works). I'll have to upload a picture.

 

[IsmaR]

Mine is barely hanging on. Hinge is cracked, screen has red/green tones, left speaker doesn't work, and it (rarely) doesn't read games.

 

[PowerBomb]

Jesus guys, do you all smash your DS's or something? I had my Fat DS for 3 years before the battery died and I got a DS Lite.

 

[UberMario]

I got my DS [fat] within a year of it's release, spent most of the time on it snaking in Mario Kart, spent more time with it than most of my systems, and I still don't even have a scratch on the screen . . . . . . .

 

[Daddy Ash]

My DS lite has survived a lot of drops in it's life span, they're pretty durable tbh. Shame my DS keys got stuck after about 5 months :/

 

[F8AL]

I've dropped my DS Lite down the stairs before and it still works fine. (It was in my pocket and I guess I was running down the stairs pretty fast so it somehow got out...)

 

[IsmaR]

Dropped my Lite. Tis my 2nd one, due to idiotically letting somebody with anger management issues getting their hands on it.

My launch Phat still functions/turns on...but the top screen is smashed in, so it's only good as a GBA player.

 

[M.K]

Alright, so I just beat the 6th Gym Leader. Probably the easiest gym in the entire game, so far, even easier than Gym 1 and Gym 3.

My team thus far:

@ Level 39
-Claw Sharpen
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Slash

@ Level 36
-Psycho Shock
-Thunder Wave
-Charge Beam
-Future Sight

@ Level 37
-Ice Beam
-Acid Armor
-Mirror Shot
-Mist

@ Level 37
-Boiling Water
-Fly
-Rain Dance
-Roost

@ Level 38
-Crunch
-Brick Break
-Hi Jump Kick
-Dig

Absolutely love this game so far.

 

[PowerBomb]

I have absolutely no idea where to get TMs in Black. I'm at Mt. Neji right now anyway. Sweeping everything with mah Warubiaru. Overconfidence is the most broken ability ever.

 

[M.K]

Hahaha, that's exactly where i am, PowerBomb.
You can buy TMs at the 2nd man at the Poke Marts. Like in Fukiyose City, you can get all the weather ones.

On the route before Mt. Neji, I found X-Scissor.

Just gotta go 'splorin. =)

 

[UltiMario]

My brother dropped his DS while playing White, and it froze... and he hadn't saved in like a half-hour (I even told him to save like two minutes before this happened) and now he's all frustrated all over it and like "I'm never going to play this game again."

We have like a 5-hour car trip coming up so I know he won't be keeping that promise.

 

[PowerBomb]

Beat the 7th Gym Leader.

Spoiler

Holy **** I really like the scene in Dragon Spiral Tower. Very cool area. Also Plasma Grunts are stupid.

 

[OkamiBW]

On the route before Mt. Neji, I found X-Scissor.

(I know I'm sure entering the discussion late, but...)
X-Scissor is so ****. I stuck it on my Daikenki along with Swords Dance and Aqua Tail. Sweeps everything that's not a combo of Dragon/Water/Fighting/Flying.

Spoiler

I'm at Victory Road.

Spoiler

What do you guys think of the new pseudo-legendary? It's got 125 base special (only 105 base attack) and can learn like Earthquake, Dark Pulse STAB, Earth Power, Draco Meteor STAB, Dragon Pulse STAB, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, and Thunder Wave/Dragon Tail STAB. TW/DT could be used to Paralyze every Poke on the opponent's team. Pretty ****.

 

[PowerBomb]

You don't have to spoiler new Pokemon. Personally, I think Gamefreak went a little nuts with the Speed tiers this gen. I'm also annoyed that they're not giving Flygon anything at all. Where's Swords Dance, or at least Dragon Dance?

 

[Pluvia]

The new Pseudo can't boost his stats. I think he has like one or 2 crappy stat boosting moves.

That makes him not ****.

 

[PowerBomb]

http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/breed.shtml

According to serebii, Dream World Pokemon can get Egg Moves. It's just manipulation by the Female, who must have the DW ability, and the Male, who can have the egg moves. Has this been known for a while or what?

 

[M.K]

I'm definitely not a fan of what they did with the speed this generation. Everything is either:

A) Horribly, horribly slow.
B) Occupying some disgustingly awkward/perfect/deathly speed niche tier. (Speeds 99/101/108/109/etc)
C) ******** fast

 

[Zook]

Can't the pseudo boost both of his attack stats at the same time, though? That's pretty decent.
