Gaming [NA & EU] Official ‘Pokémon Black’ and ‘White’ Thread

[Deleted_171835]

How many WiFi events have been done till now? Is there any way to get stuff from them if i missed them?

Only the victini event, which is still online. You could also download the distro card if you have 2 ds units.

Victini comes from Nintendo Wifi, not a distro cart. Once its gone, best you can hope for is to inject its wondercard info your save file using PokeSav (if you can with Gen 5).

I'm excited to finally be able to get more berries

(and having all the game features fully functional instead of "Error Code!")

Do japanese save files work with the EU release?
(Yeah, coming online after a LONG time)

Yes, however you may encounter some minor glitches.

OK so there is. I'm assuming it works with US games because the US and EU games are the same?
Anyway if you want the "real" (if you can call it that) US Victini, you have to download it via Nintendo Wifi before April 10th (I think).

The only glitch I know of is when you use a White save file in Black or vice-versa. The exclusive area (Black City/White Forest) is determined by the save file, not what game you are using it with. This causes some weird glitches if you fly to White Forest/Black City. (which I'm not sure you can even do without cheats).

I've had no flying glitches with the save swap, but I think he's talking about using the J version with E/U. From doing it in past generations, the only downside I see is having limited trainer / pokemon you've already caught names, and similar 5 vs 8 character differences. People will definitely know something is up if they look at your game.

I'm basing my info on this thread and other random stuff I've read online. Probably should have mentioned that I have not tested this myself (sorries). I'm playing on my retail cart for now, so I can't test it myself.

Does anyone know if the ROMs will work for Dream World on March 30th? If anyone who used the Japanese ROM could confirm whether they could get on or not, that would probably go some way to telling us what we could expect. Also, are all pokemon available in Dream World? Could you fill your pokedex using Dream World? If not, which pokemon are excluded?

 

[gumbyx84]

There is no real way to know until the global link is up and running. Seeing as the JPN ROM worked, I see no reason why it wouldn't.

As for Pokemon available in the dream world and the mechanics of it, check Bulbapedia or Serebii. Most are available, excluding some or all legendaries.

I was using the japanese rom and I could use the Dream World feature

You can fill some pokedex with pokemon there like igglybuff, politoed, vulpix, etc... check this out http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/dreamworldabilities.shtml

Just one question, is there a reason why the game hangs when fighting Reshiram/Zekrom, or Vinctini (Happened to me so far) if I have AR on?

Real card or ROM? If ROM, which device? Either way, try disabling all but one cheat. Rotate through enabled cheats until you find the culprit. I've had no issues with Acekard 2i, but haven't tried cheats on a real card.

 

[m33st4]

I was using a R4 with Wood 1.26. It happened for me for the Japanese version as well.

Is it true that Pokemon White has only 1 rotational battle and 4 triple battles (and vice versa for Black)? It seems illogical to me that they would implement so little!

To those that have played White version, how many rotational battles have you encountered so far?

I've only had about 2 rotation battles and 3 triple battles and I'm done the whole game.

I am disappointed that Nintendo didn't add more triple/rotation battles in the game. You can have a triple/rotation battle on Wi-Fi, though.

It's such a pity, because they look great! Why add new battle mechanics and make them appear very rarely in the game?

because they want people to battle other people instead of just those in the game. they kinda let's you taste how good it feels and make you want more.

it's a strategy to promote multiplayer and partly advertising. sorry i don't feel like explaining the latter.

You don't feel like explaining what it has to do with advertising because you don't have a proper reason.
