Victory Road was long in BW2 if you decided to explore the whole thing. This place had the most kinds of terrain of any kind of Victory Road compared to past generations including: lakes, caves, forests, and mountains. Otherwise, if you just kept straight on the path, it might take you half an hour at most to get through it.

Here's a quick way to make money. You know how you can buy Casteliacones in Castelia City for 100 Pokedollars each? If you happen to sell them to the lady in the RV on Route 5, you will get 2000 Pokedollars, which is a 1900 Pokedollar profit.
If you buy a dozen Casteliacones and sell them this way, you will end up with a 22,800 Pokedollar profit. [(12*2000) - (12*100)] = 22,800 |

Really you thought it was long? I personally thought that Victory Road in BW2 was the easiest Road there has been. It was simple, and there weren't really any paths that were false (Or ones that I saw). But it is possible that I just took an easier path than you... But only ones did I go the wrong way, but that was because I had walked away from the game and forgot which way I came from.

I found that mess of teleporters on the Plasma ship to be a bit of an annoyance, mostly because I didn't systematically go through them and kept running into the same three buttons...and running into the electric fence.

I think I might try the Dream World again this time around. There's no use restricting myself from it, even though it annoys me a lot. And hey, more Dream World means more medals! Things that I care about more!
While Victory Road does appear to be a very large area, there's a pretty simple straightforward path that can take only 20 minutes or less with Repels and eye-avoiding skills. If you're looking for everything, prepare to LOOK. Oooh, and character redesigns. I love them so much. Plasma looks less goofy and more dangerous, Bianca looks cuter, Cheren looks more serious, Ghetsis looks evil AND insane, and Elesa... umm... she changed her hair color. I think I like Ghetsis' change the most, I think he just looks way cooler than before. |

I hate Sturdy. It's one of the most annoying abilities when training, as you constantly have to endure a reply hit and deal with healing very often. I blame the Roggenrola line, Skarmory, and Sawk/Throh.
The other abilities I hate are anything that inflicts a status ailment on contact, particularly Static, Flame Body, and Poison Point. So many wasted Parlyz Heals, Burn Heals, and Antidotes... Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; October 20, 2012 at 09:32:19 PM. |

I don't usually have a problem with abilities, but I'm usually prone to bad luck when my Pokemon faint from a critical hit. I've been prone to crits for a while now in this game, I find it weird that I'm receiving more crits than dealing them (And my Lucario is holding a Scope Lense >_<)
My Pokemon are also prone to infatuation and confusion hax...especially confusion. It's a good thing I've stocked up a ton of Casteliacones so hax doesn't hinder me too much...but it's still quite annoying. |

I remember back in Platinum, I would always plant and grow large amounts of Leppa Berries for whenever I wanted to take on Champion Cynthia or just for when I didn't want to travel to the Pokécenter. Makes me sad that berries can no longer be grown in the Unova soil. But hey, at least you can buy some berries from people scattered around, there are fun Funfest missions about berries, and even the Dream World lets you get and plant some. ...Eeew, I just gave myself a reason to use the Dream World.

So I heard about being able to get a shiny Gible (in Black 2) or a shiny Dratini (in White 2) and I was curious so I did some research. Turns out it's actually very easy (post-game)! And here's how:

Technically you can trade keys with someone who has Black 2 so that you can get Black City and claim a Gible. That's what I'm doing, except I have Black 2 myself and am trading with a White Forest key holder. But first I have to get in, and I... don't know how.
The Yancy sidequest is really interesting. I can't really do this without internet help after you meet Yancy on the Ferris Wheel, but I'm liking where this is going. Plus, the sound of these trades makes my head spin with delight~ |

Speaking of the mini-games, some are far too easy that they're boring, notably the Pelipper one, and others require too much luck and concentration, like the Wailord one. I have no trouble meeting the threshold score, but I know some of the rarer abilities (or is it moves? I forget) require very high scores.

The Unova Link is a really amazing feature if you've got some good friends with you. Especially the ability to choose between Black City and White Forest (Although Black City has kinda changed, so I don't know the significance beyond the gift-mon.). Although, I think the thing with the difficulty could've been handled better. Unlocking the ability to change it for the postgame only? Most of the things you'd want it for, like gym leaders, would have already been gone by the time you have challenge mode. And easy mode isn't all that necessary after the story's over. And you can't just restart the game afterwards like there's only 1 save file. But oh well. I'll make sure that when I get White 2 I give myself the Challenge Mode key before I start the game.

What I find more annoying is how evolving it at an early level will prevent it from learning any moves, other than Extremespeed. I cannot believe that I will be keeping my Growlithe until Lv34. Its stats are low compared to other evolved team mates and foes.

Wait wait wait. Okay. So I switch Black City out for White Forest so that I can finally experience what it's like. So I'm there ready to catch something and then... WHERE TEH HELL IS ALL THE TALL GRASS? Did they just replace the trainers in Black and the grass in White for the Tower and Treehollow? But I wanted to catch something... Oh well, Dratini time.

It gives references to your original Black Version trainer's name, the Musical man gives you your old prop box, Cheren and Bianca will battle you with their teams according to which Black starter you chose, and N's Pokémon can be found in the wild. Other than that, no.

I like the Memory Link, it makes me feel so proud and nostalgic with the constant "similar trainer 2 years prior" thing!
I don't have Wi-Fi anymore (because I went back to my mom's house) so I'm having major Dream World withdrawal symptoms. Major. I honestly walked down my neighbourhood to find a suitable Wi-Fi signals, but this is Canada, and open, DSi compatible signals are far and few in between. This makes me a sad person. Anybody wanna put a Pokémon to sleep and give me their username and password for the Dream World? Last edited by Luxray13579; October 22, 2012 at 04:16:45 PM. |

Twist Mountain is VERY long. Do not go in expecting to leave soon. I've been exploring for over two hours and still need to go back to a few forks. I did hear some familiar music from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, but I'll probably post about that in the other thread later. Anyone else run through it yet?

I'm really liking Challenge Mode. Now whenever I battle I actually feel threatened. And since I don't really grind, it's harder to win due to how I'm slightly underleveled. Like when I battled Hugh in Undella Town. I think combining the amount of Revives I used, 7 or 8 Pokémon fainted. Most of his team was ~5 levels above me. Beating him was tough, but it got me nice EXP and cash, so I'm keeping this thing on.

Wow, it looks like after you become Unova Champion that Casteliacone popularity shoots right up again, as the line from Black and White reappears. Thankfully nothing about the day or bulk-buying changed, it's just that now you have to wait 30 seconds to actually purchase one.
I find the Pokémon World Tournament to be really fun, even more than the Battle Subway, which I've barely touched. The left hand side battles aren't all that interesting, but the right hand side is FILLED with awesomeness. Great music, nostalgia for those who want it, and it's a fun challenge that slowly gets you some sweet BP. Plus, even if you lose, you get shards which you can save for Move Tutors. |

It's not all triple battles. The Pokémon World Tournament, unlike the Battle Subway, supports all 4 types of battling styles, though it still has the Battle Subway restrictions on your Pokémon. (3 for Single, 4 for Doubles, 6 for Triple, 4 for Rotation. Also certain ones are banned.)

Am I the only one who hasn't gotten pokerus or something? It seems like it's fairly easy to get in BW2 for some reason, and I haven't gotten it yet. It's not like I NEED it, I'm just wondering how so many people have gotten it.

Hm, another quick question: what are the best places to train at high levels in post-game? Don't count trainers you can only battle once. I know PWT and the Battle Subway are great for endless battles, but they don't provide experience. Is the Elite Four really the only choice? I've never liked grinding there.
Also, who you gonna call? Ghost Eraser! (First person to understand it without looking it up gets a cookie and has played a good deal of the game.) Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; October 29, 2012 at 11:40:23 PM. |

I must be the only one managing to hear audio drop-outs while playing the game. In battles, sometimes, when sound effects overlap, instruments in the music get dropped. It sounds weird until the next key hits.
16 channels ain't a lot. On another topic, I must not be the only one longing for other starters. |

Finally have a problem
Hey guys, im new to this but here goes: recently fought the Elite Four again for the second time, was not prepared for their increase in strength. I barely won, I have my Zoroark to thank. Went traveling on route 18, got the magma stone and talked to crasher wake. Said he was going to driftveil city, couldn't find him. No idea where he is. Battled my rival again and mopped the floor with him. Still searching for crasher wake. Anyone know where he is?

I have a quick question that might be obvious to some. I just finished beating Area 6 in Black Tower and I received a key that allows me to move to Areas 7 and up. The problem is, I don't know how to access the key...or how to move onto Area 7, to put it more simply.

Well for one, *GameFreak. Nintendo just licenses it.
Secondly, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But you have to admit, no Pokémon game before this has had such a complex plot. One that spanned over 2 games just to fool those who thought they knew the pattern. I get how some of the new designs are goofy and ripoffs of Kanto and whatnot, but personally, I think this is one of the greatest Pokémon titles and I've had more fun in this than any other. And I have to agree, I can't possibly imagine what they'd come up with next. I gave up trying to predict. |

I had like NO idea that Join Avenue is completely disabled if you change the time even ONCE. Thy should give that a fix for things like Daylight Savings Time. Come on, Nintendo, step it up. Add, like, a button for that. Or do it automatically like every other electronic device. (Granted, I changed to Friday so that I could fight someone, but still.)
Another thing I've noticed is the uselessness of White Forest, minus the Shiny Dratini. They got rid of all the grass, and White Treehollow is just like Black Tower, but I like Black Tower's look and music a lot more. Those places don't even fill up the Pokédex (Because I've checked, and mine didn't get filled.) I guess people might like the looks and music of the Treehollow more, but I can't see anything in it.

I think Cult Classics make more people show up in the theater room to see your movies. I mean, I just made one and both an Old Team Plasma dude AND an ex-Neo Team Plasma dude showed up and gave me Big Pearls~ Some other new people showed up, too. Not only that, but they give you more useful items than if you just shot a regular good movie. (I got Moomoo Milks and Old Gateaux.)

Well that's because you did a movie the way you were supposed to. There's probably a chart floating around on one of those sites, but I'm just going off of what I've noticed.
Another thing I've noticed is that if you use your own Pokémon and blonde-afro dude says "Your Pokémon are beginning to look like stars themselves!" then you'll get a special pre-battle animation that's like a shiny Pokémon one, except with a spinning star. (It surprised me, I thought the Nuzleaf that I encountered was special :I) EDIT: And now thanks to my good buddy Plaz, I now know that the shining stars can be seen by anyone. Except Black/White, most likely. I mean, Pokéstar Studios didn't exist back then. Last edited by TurtwigX; November 12, 2012 at 01:36:08 PM. |

I can remember my 2 strange endings with my Pokémon. One was with my Crobat in Full Metal Cop and the Destroyer Security System killed both me and the cop with lasers. The other was with my Lucario in The Giant Woman 3 where I killed Monica and she destroyed the Unova region. Why is it that strange endings always seem to make a whole lot more than the regular endings?

I've been running around Unova attempting to catch a few rare Pokemon and I've come to notice how brilliant Quick Balls actually are.
I was scrolling through my Habitat List and found that you could catch Klinklang and Magnezone in rustling grass down at the P2 Laboratory. And can I just say that the rustling grass/whirlpool theme really doesn't fit Audino. >.< Last edited by RotomGuy; November 16, 2012 at 08:11:33 AM. |

I feel like a complete idiot.
Doing that Yancy sidequest was hard. But I was determined to do it, because I felt like I needed one of the trades to complete the National Pokedex. So after 2 hours of running back and forth between all 15 areas trying to call her and learn more about her life (And she is really cute the way she slowly falls in love with you), I finally unlocked the ability to do the trades. I'm FINALLY gonna get that Spiritomb I needed, since the one that was traded to my Platinum disappeared. (I'm a lonely person, how am I supposed to see 32 people in Sinnoh's Underground?) But that's when I realized... it only disappeared because I caught it in the PokeTransfer Lab. So I didn't even need to do that sidequest at all. Oh well, those Pokemon hold Rare Candies. |
