Yeah. Riolu + Ditto = Riolu trained up into Lucario, just w/ a better Ability and movepool. Ah, in-store distribution logic, doing its best to screw Pokémon Trainers since 2003.

[King Silva]

My Platinum team is level 36-38 now.

I am on my way to Pastoria City.

I think I missed Wednesday's daily battles in Black so I need to do them for Thursday!

The official site has posted wiith information stating that the episode of Pokémon Smash due to air on June 3rd will feature a feature on the portion of Black 2 & White 2: Pokéwood. It's unknown if it will show anything new, but it will likely show the mechanics of it so we'll report on it as and when it comes.
In addition to that, a Soundtrack CD has been announced for release in Japan on July 25th which has 173 tracks on it in a four disc set including unreleased tracks from Black & White, Emerald & Platinum.

Pokémon Conquest - Localisation Details

The official site has updated with a few new localisation details. First, some new areas have been revealed.
The Pupa Nation is now known as Chrysalis.
The Fist Nation is now known as Pugilis.
In addition to that, it revealed the details of various password giveaways to be coming in the next month which have been added to our page. The rest of the information is the same as the Japanese one. Click the image to go to our section.

I'm pretty sure that is the only way to do it.

This thread has been dead for a while and that is sad.

In that time my Platinum team grew to level 40-42.

I'm just about to win the 5th badge I was just completing the routes around Pastoria City first.

My team in Black is also level 87-89.

[stonecold316]

Yeah, the Thread seems up and down. Hopefully, 6/3 will change that. About to go on a ANOTHER midnight trade spree. BTW, I have a Master Ball now. I wanna make this freaking epic with low-levels (2, 3, etc.). Who should I go for?

[King Silva]

What is 6/3?

What do you mean by "I wanna make this freaking epic with low-levels (2, 3, etc.)." ?

[Ben - #6 Munchie]

6/3 is Third of June, the newest episode of Pokémon Smash, and the next load of BW2 info.

Your team is decent but you really need to train most of them besides Quilava.

I would only consider keeping Quilava, Mareep, and Geodude so imo you have 3 open spots. Preferably for a water, flying, and grass type.

Of course if you get rid of Geodude then you have 4 open spots.

As for the egg I'm fairly certain it is a Togepi.

The latest on my journey is that my team is all level 45 in Platinum.

I beat the 5th gym just now and I did the water routes [219-220] and am about to complete route 221 before making my way to the 6th gym city.

[Deleted]

just beat the 3rd Gym in Heart Gold
current team:
Quilava LV 23
Geodude LV 21
Pideotto LV 20
Nidoran (male) LV 21
Nidorina LV 21

[King Silva]

So I guess you don't mind having 3 part ground pokemon in your team?

Soon you will with Golem, Nidoking, and Nidoqueen.

Why did you take out Mareep it is a pretty good pokemon and it is a type that is very useful?

[Deleted]

I put it in the day care center to level up =P

do I need anything besides leveling up to get Nidoking, NidoQueen, Golem and Pidgeott?

[King Silva]

Ok that is good.

If you are content not having a grass or water pokemon then all you really can do is train your current team up and try to find two moon stones for Nidorina and Nidorino.

[King of Kings]

For Golem you'll need to trade Graveler to get it to evolve...but other than that King Silva is right on the money.

[King Silva]

I figured he knew he had to trade to get Golem but yeah that is important because if you can't get Golem than Graveler is pretty much crappy.

Golem's base stats are:

HP 80
Att 110
Def 130
Sp Att 55
Sp Def 65
Speed 45

Graveler's base stats are much lower at:

HP 55
Att 95
Def 115
Sp Att 45
Sp Def 45
Speed 35


I am just about to play my Black again to train my team some more.

[Deleted]

well I have been wanting a water type pokemon but idk where to catch a decent one all I can fish for is magikarps and everything I have seen on land was level 6 Wooper, so where can I catch a good one?

PS the 2 pokemon I have in the daycare are Mareep & Tauros

my current team is:
Quilava LV 31
Nidorino LV 22
Geodude LV 23
Pidgeotto LV 22
Nidorina LV 21

[King Silva]

I think you should be able to get Lapras relatively soon from where you should be with pokemon around that level.

If not Lapras, Starmie and Vaporeon are good choices.

You should be getting an Eevee from Bill in Goldenrod and while it is a low level [isn't is like 10-15?] and you will need a Water Stone it could be worth it since Vaporeon is a great water pokemon.

[Ben - #6 Munchie]

Wooper is awesome when it evolves into Quagsire

Water/Ground type, and since electric is a main weakness to water, it is rendered useless due to ground ;D

[King Silva]

^ He certainly does NOT need another part ground type!

And Quagsire sucks.. He needs a special attacking water pokemon.
