Well, I just started playing it. I actually love how the basics are still the same (I haven't played Diamond or Pearl, so I was afraid something new had been implemented that I surely didn't know about), for example the starting 3 pokémon thing and the professor... Such. I don't like my characters friends (one is plain idiotic and the other is a know-it-all type) though.

So I picked a girl (as the guy looked lame), named her Natalie, picked Snivy as starting Pokémon. I catched every Pokémon I could find so far (I'm just past the dream dust part) and decided to stick with Panpour and Purrlion for my future set of Pokimans. Might change the cat for a physic type though.

Not linkin to any roms, but I followed this tutorial:

I can't seem to add friend codes, but I can do random battles and random trades. Still trying to figure out why it says the friend code is invalid when it's not lol.

Oh I meant how can you play Pokemon black without a ds, cause I really want to play it

[Zemious]

And I gave a tutorial, click the link.
Also, screenshots of me testing the online feature with an emulator. Pokemon Black. I got destroyed.

Screenshot taken within the emulator.

Never dented him, couldn't out damage "Left Overs"! >_______<
I knew I'd lose, I just wanted to see if it really worked online and it did without any lag. I can't actually add people to friends, or trade with them. However, I can trade through the Global Trading Center or whatnot from what I hear.

Almost level 25 with my Dewott and I plan to get Kyogre, an Erruption Heatran and Shroomish with Poison Heal and Facade.
This a good idea?

Facade has a power of 70 and doubles if the pokemon who has it is Poisoned, Burned or Paralyzed. I plan to have him hold a Toxic Orb so that he is poisoned. Breloom's ability is called "Poison Heal", meaning he obviously gets healed from poison.
If only Facade had a power of 60, Brelooms hidden ability "Technician" would amplify the power of Facade by 1.5x. :/

It's to bad that Breloom is grass/fighting because he won't receive the same-type damage boost because Facade is Normal. However, Breloom's attack is 130, so Facade may hit hard.
Assuming I don't get one-shot online because he's slower. Maybe I can EV train him into speed so he'll go first. He absolutely has to hold a Toxic Orb so he does get healed from the poison it induces.

Has anyone seen a Shroomish in Pokemon White/Black yet? I have Black and am looking for it.

[Dawnlight]

Another problem with Breloom is that he takes REALLY long to level up. He's one of those pokemon that require 1.6 million EXP to Lv. 100.

[Mitchfork]

Breloom's pretty cool. Yes, he's slow, but his purpose isn't to be a sweeper. As long as you can safely switch into something you know is slower, you can Spore/Substitute and start hitting Focus Punches. Facade is good too, since it doesn't necessarily require the set up that Focus Punch does.

Also, Poison Heal doesn't cure poison; it simply heals 1/8 of hour health while poisoned, which is an important distinction. It means that a Toxic Orb Breloom gets free Leftovers and can't be hit by any other status ailment (sans Confusion). Very good combination.

Just be keeping in mind you're limited only to the newest generation of Pokemon until AFTER you've beaten the main story, so if you plan on using any Generation 1-4 Pokemon, it'll have to wait until then.

[Zemious]

I hacked my save so that I now have Kyogre and Breloom. If you want any pokemon, I can try and trade it to you over the GTS.
I can't do trades yet from friends.

I just beat White, and all I have to say is "WOW". I did not see that coming. That end section was amazing. The ending actually evoked feelings from me. FEELINGS IN A POKEMON GAME. Yeah, it was good. As for the final boss:

Spoiler

I tried beating him without using Zekrom. That didn't go so well. He's tough, for sure.

My final team:

Skipper, the level 42 Dewott
Fuego, the level 40 Simisear
Scaler, the level 41 Krookodile
Archy, the level 44 Archeops
Frosty, the level 44 Beartic
Striker, the level 39 Zebstrika

And so my underleveled Hall of Fame streak continues. And I didn't even have to evolve my Dewott. Man I love that thing. All in all, I'd say it's one of the best Pokemon games, really exceeding my expectations.

[Orithan]

Just beat White last night. It was difficult, but the final boss (who I won't spoil) actually deserved the title. I was close to his level and yet I struggled to beat him even with Zekrom in tow. The gym leaders, aside from the second, I never had to grind for and were all pushovers. Cheren and Bianca were rather easy for the most part, but Bianca's Stoutland really hurt on the last time I fought her. Storylinewise; it definatley wasn't lighthearted towards the end unlike most other Pokemon games, which wasn't bad in anyway. In fact, it felt that was more serious than even all of the mainstream Mario games I've played and was more like a standard RPG.

My current party (ditched Zebrastrika in favor for Zekrom):

Stoutland, Lv 47.

Musharna, Lv 48.

Liepard, Lv 48.

Simisear, Lv 49.

Samurott, Lv 50.

Zekrom, Lv 51.

I am already hating the sharp difficulty curve of the postgame; I was fighting trainers who have pokemon in the mid 40s, and all of the sudden, I have to fight trainers who have pokemon in the mid 60s .

[Dawnlight]

It's REALLY easy to farm EXP post game. Trust me. The wild Pokemon alone give about 2k-3k EXP per battle.

My Party:

Samurott (Lv. 70)
Eelecktross (Lv. 66)
Braviary (Lv. 68)
Reuniculus (Lv. 66)
Haxorus (Lv. 65)
Krookodile (Lv. 66)

I'm training for Elite 4: Round 2.

[Ice Cream Link]

It's weird that whenever you get a gym badge, in the case, the pictures of the gym leaders are still gray. I'd expect them to light up whenever you get their badge...

[Dawnlight]

I just beat the Elite Four: Round 2. MUCH easier than I expected. All my Pokemon were at Level 70. I guess I should start training my entire party to Lv. 100

[Twilight-Prince]

My Pokemon just caught the Pokerus. Time to do some worthwhile grinding, methinks.
