And as I see a comment about the story, I'd like to say this.

The first games were meant to really change many key concepts in Pokémon. The villainous team prevailed even after you defeated the Elite 4, to state one example. The sequels go back to the usual routine, although several classic Pokémon concepts are given a new twist to keep them interesting.

To put it into tropes, Black and White were Deconstructions of Pokémon, while their sequels are Reconstructions of Pokémon. happy.gif


Good point. I suppose I just feel a little thrown off by the transition, especially considering how mature and sophisticated the first games were compared to practically everything else in the series. It felt at first like Game Freak was starting to get lazy, but I guess there's always a method to their madness.



In terms of progress, I'm currently sailin' smoothly with Dewott, Trapinch and Scraggy. Speaking of which, for some reason Scraggy is extremely rare now. At least in Route 4.

Dang, you've been busy, you're nearly caught up to me! :blink: Mind you, that probably has a lot to do with me having other RL stuff to do in-between playing it, plus the fact that I spent to days mucking around PokeStar and the PWT.

Oh, and a piece of warning, Clocky; you probably don't want to go into the Strange House after dark, knowing your reaction to a similar place...

Anyway, currently I'm trekking up Route 13 on my way to badge number 7.

[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
I've been very busy playing White 2. Here's my first ever status update.


Samurott (M) "Samurai" LV45:
Adamant
Torrent
Mystic Water
Aqua Tail/Surf/X-Scissor/Revenge
155/132/96/100/71/77

Samurai, the beast. If there's something someone on my team can't handle, chances are Samurai can get the job done. With Adamant nature, his Physical moves hit harder than a truck. Aqua Tail is the hard hitter, while surf is mainly there to take care of high physical defense targets. X-Scissor and Revenge are for those that don't appreciate taking one.


Arcanine (M) "Dante" LV45:
Brave
Intimidate
Shell Bell
Flame Wheel/Flare Blitz/Outrage/Crunch
141/127/89/106/80/91

Named after my passed away Dog, Dante is a total monster. I waited very, very long to evolve him, so it was kind of a pain battling with him for a long time, though the Eviolite was very useful for when he was still a little puppy. Now, he's probably the most powerful member of my team. Outrage and Flare Blitz destroy everything, while Crunch takes care of Psychic or ghost types. Flame Wheel is there in case I don't want to hurt myself with Flare Blitz.


Espeon (F) "Sunshine" LV41:
Bashful
Synchronize
Twisted Spoon
Echoed Voice/Psychic/Signal Beam/Shadow Ball
116/74/56/123/90/104

Good morning Sunshine! Espeon is the real nuker of my team. Psychic deals incredible amounts of damage, without having any disadvantage like Flare Blitz does. Though I have a hint for you all, don't go looking for female Eevees. Unless you're really lucky (Unlike me.), you're gonna be searching for HOURS.


Zoroark (M) LV42:
Hasty
Illusion
Spell Tag
Aerial Ace/Night Slash/Shadow Ball/Snarl
115/109.61/119/68/117

Good old Zoroark. Very similar to Espeon in the manner that he's fast and hits hard, even with Snarl. Illusion isn't totally useless, but I haven't found much use for it. But it's always funny when you send out a little HM Slave who ends up sweeping an entire team.


Braviary (M) "America" LV41:
Hardy
Defiant
Silk Scarf
Strength/Shadow Claw/Fly/Aerial Ace
142/111/72/64/77/83

Go team America! No, no, never mind that! Anyway, the Eagle of America certainly has quite the reputation. Strength has enough power to OHKO most of his victims. Those that aren't OHKO'd are left with low/half HP, unless they're steel types. of course. He also loves getting intimidated or tickled, as his cray attack will get boosted to even crazier levels, resulting in an easy sweep.


Aggron (M) "Bionic" LV45:
Bashful
Rock Head
Rocky Helmet
Iron Head/Rock Slide/Dig/Ice Punch
134/114/176/63/69(lol)/54

I can't even begin to tell you how much Drayden was crying when his Haxorus failed to scratch this beast. Bionic takes hits like a boss, while hitting everything back for considerable amounts of damage. Only reason he has Rock Head is because I couldn't find a bloody Aron with Sturdy.


Anyways, as far as my adventure progress goes, I'm just training a bit before I'm gonna take on the last Gym leader.

@Samurott: Aye, Samurott are awesome, and easily the best Gen V starter. The only suggestion I might make is to go to the move re-learner at some point and give it Megahorn instead of X-scissor. Its accuracy is occasionally off, but the power behind it is brutal.

@Arcanine: I need to train one of these fellas sometime. Badly. They are, from everything I've seen, awesome.

@Espeon: I used one myself in Platinum, although a male, unsurprisingly. I never regretted it. As you said, they're powerful Sp. Attackers, and fairly fast to boot.

@Zoroak: Haven't used it, haven't really looked at it much, but it's not bad as far as I've seen.

@Braviary: I used a Rufflet in the Rental Tournament once. Not my first choice since they have a more limited move set than I typically like, but rather powerful indeed.

@Aggron: Capital letters, T.A.N.K. That's all there is to it. I'm holding off using one in case we get Gen 3 remakes, in which case I'll be using one.


Oh, hey, and speaking of Drayden, I'm just about to battle him. Only difference is that my team's in the rang of Lv. 46-47. Since I'm posting anyway, I guess I'll do an update of my own.

-----

Emboar (M) Lv. 47 (Serious)
Brick Break, Flamethrower, Flame Charge, Bulldoze,
Ability: Blaze
166/141/85/109/69/87

Sigilyph (M) Lv. 47 (Hardy)
Light Screen, Reflect, Air Slash, Psychic,
Ability: Wonder Skin
129/78/97/117/85/105

Stunfisk (M) Lv. 46 (Hardy)
Rock Slide, Bulldoze, Muddy Water, Discharge,

167/73/99/95/106/41

Serperior (M) Lv. 47 (Hardy)

Pokedex: 177

So in summary of what's changed, I went to the PWT, evolved my Staryu, discovered that my team is awesome at Triple Battles, and then got enough BP to get Brick Break for Emboar.

First of all, KCS, I applaud your use of Deerling. Deerling and Sawsbuck are awesome.

As for the new gyms... I'd have to say it's one of the last three for me. Skyla's gets me with how you exit the gym when you're done; it sends you right out the door. Drayden's has giant freaking dragons statues, but is fairly simple otherwise. Marlon's I like the theme of, and it was somewhat interesting, although not too much of a challenge. While not part of the gyms' design, pre-say, it also gets bonus points for the one trainer standing out all alone who only battles if you talk to him.

Now, as for another update from me, I'm currently making my way through Dancing Penguin Victory Road.

I didn't have internet for the last week. This mans a couple of things; for instance, I've been acting like a crack addict with withdrawal's.
Also, I've gotten a lot of time to devote to W2.
Like, enough time to have gotten a lot of dumb little Medals & beat the game, not to mention Alder & both Game Freaks.

Mandibuzz (F) "Mandy" Docile Lv. 66 w/Lucky Egg
Fly, Punishment, Dark Pulse, Brave Bird
Ability: Overcoat
252/137/160/90/138/138

Mandy's pretty boss. I've heard that Honchkrow (I'm too lazy to spellcheck) is good, & Mandy's a lot like that, except with more defenses. Aside from being crucial in defeating Shauntal & Caitlin, she single-wingedly swept Marshall without taking a hit, thanks partly to flinching & partly to a lucky missed Hi-Jump Kick.

Muk (M) OTTO Jolly Lv. 65 w/Black Sludge
Acid Armor, Gunk Shot, Minimize, Venoshock
Ability: Sticky Hold
246/176/119/103/151/113

Otto (whose name comes from Auto, as in automobile pollution) is literally the best tank in the entire world. Literally. A few times he's gotten one-shotted by lucky criticals, but for the most part, after 6 turns of alternating Minimize & Acid Armor, all the while using Black Sludge, he's hard as hell to put down. Plus, Gunk Shot is a very powerful move off a good attack stat & with STAB. How good is he? Nishino beat all of my team except him & Simon with just his first pokemon. I never had to use Simon & I still won. At Level 61. Sweeping an entire team of Lv.76 tanks. BEST. TANK. IN THE WORLD.
That said I'm pretty sure Minimize/Double Team spam is illegal in competitive battling but I don't do that so who cares?

Excadrill (M) SIMON Calm Lv. 66 w/Soft Sand
Strength, Swords Dance, Earthquake, Rock Slide
Ability: Sand Rush
244/199/110/89/107/154

If Otto is my tank, Simon is my cannon. Anything that isn't in the air is going to get FUBAR'd by Earthquake. Anything in the air is going to wish it wasn't when it gets hit by Rock Slide. He's pretty much a force of nature. Though he's not gonna last as long as Otto by a long shot, he's gonna do a lot of damage back on the way down.

Swoobat (F) FLAN Quiet Lv. 61 w/Soothe Bell (Why? I'm not sure. I'll have to change that...)
Attract, Air Slash, Charge Beam, Psychic
Ability: Unaware
172/95/86/137/87/146

We have my tank, my cannon, & my ninja... wearing a high-visibility jacket. She's not as fast as Simon, & yet it's her greatest asset. Any time she lasts 2+ turns is either a miracle or the result of a lucky infatuation. If it wasn't for Join Avenue, training her to this level would make me hate Swoobat with a passion. But I've noticed, I have one 'slacker' in pretty much every first-run team. In Platinum, Bob (Rotom) himself was pretty horrible. Typhoon (Dustox) & Kittan (Beedrill) were bad in their games, Emerald & FireRed. SoulSilver had Montezuma (Stantler), who wasn't so much 'very frail' as 'utterly unadvantageous'. The honor was split up amongst the team in White 1, with half the team having blaring weaknesses that made them difficult to use in many situations, but it was somewhat mitigated by them making up for each other.

Galvantula (M) Docile Lv. 65 w/Lax Incense
Discharge, Signal Beam, Bug Buzz, Slash
Ability: Unnerve
188/133/108/155/103/175

N's Galvantula was a great choice. Though difficult to train initially, once it evolved, it went from a cute little yellow bug to a kick-arse, lightning-fast murder machine. It was my first 'mon to get 100+ in all stats, & single-handedly beat not only Iris's Hydreigon, but also, despite type disadvantages, Alder's Volcarona. Confusion-locking is a beautiful thing. Plus it got me a bonus line from N just outside the Badge Check! I thought that was a nice touch.

Jellicent (M) DERELICT Hardy Lv. 61 w/Shell Bell
Ice Beam, Ominous Wind, Surf, Energy Ball
Ability: Cursed Body
207/102/100/120/152/92

I held out as long as I could, but eventually, I had to say yes to that glorious 'stache. Derelict continues the proud tradition of Pandora's water-types being named for types of maritime debris, after Flotsam the Gyarados, Jetsam the Milotic, & Ligan the Corsola. An alright tank, but Derelict's shining moment, predictably, has been super effective Ice Beams against Iris's team.

Yeah I did a lot of just looking around to get the cool badges, since the only useful window I had open when I lost internet (& therefore the only one I had access to until now) was a medal guide. That includes stuff like Magikarp Award, Wailord Watcher, Television Kid, Lucky Drink...

In your lack of anything else to do, it would seem you have surpassed me.

Since my last update, I finally got around to challenging the League with my entire team at Lv. 60 after a few days of mucking around at PokeStar again. Now, keeping in mind that Iris's ace is Lv. 59 it should not be surprising that it was a cake-walk for me. Over half of "Grimie" and "Catie"'s team fell to OHKOs delivered via the force of nature called Scolipede. Everything else in the E4 fell fairly fast to the rest of my team as well. Somewhat to my surprise, when it came to Iris, my Stunfisk ended up being a major player in taking her down. Following that I naturally made a b-line to the PWC, won the Unova Leaders tournament on the first try, and then discovered the other leaders tournaments to be a fair bit more challenging. Following that I've basically been going through the rest of the routes that are now unlocked, which currently leaves me at Twist Mountain.

Today, I'm going to be takin' these four fine folks into the biggest, meanest dungeon in the Forgotten Realms, and I don't know if they're gonna survive.
...But I'm cool with that.

I am also currently exploring Twist Mountain/Clay's Tunnel, actually, so I haven't really surpassed you. The only thing that would really qualify me for that would be defeating Alder if you haven't.

Nope, I haven't gotten to Alder yet. All I've done so far is White Forest, Route 15, Route 8, The Moor of Icirrus, Icirrus City, Twist Mountain, and I'm currently working on Clay Tunnel. Anything beyond that I haven't gotten to yet.

Ah, I see. You're working backwards, while I started post-game with Aspertia Town & went forward instead. I've gotten Alder, the Game Freaks, Unova Mightiest, part of Clay's Tunnel, Icirrus Gym, & working on Twist Mountain.

So, anybody else who's beaten the game. I need some confirmation that I haven't lost it. Is... Is that who I think it is? Route 18, northern section? Staring out at sea? I'm afraid to talk to him, like it's all a beautiful dream & doing so will make we wake up.

I'm actually headed out there right now. Now I am curious as to who you mean...

EDIT: No, Clocky, you are not going crazy. He is there. He is real. :blink:
