Pokémon Black and White

UPDATE.

Caught Thunderun.
Good thing I saved that master ball.

@Double A
I too normally pick fire starters, with the exception of Tododile and Oshawatt.
The only reason I did not choose fire this time is because I believe a Fire-type pig should evlove into a nice, juicy, ham.
Or bacon.

A little update from me!

My Smugleaf evolved into Servine, who isn't as cute but still maintains the whole "haterz gonna hate" vibe that I like so much; I used the Grass Knot TM on it, seems to kill alot of the stuff I'm starting to face in one hit, which is good. I managed to add a Drilbur to my team, he seems to be an absolute beast; he's Rash-natured, which is good for the additional speed though the defense drop is a bit gah-worthy. They're both in the early 20s.

Currently working on Victini; keep catching the little furball but he doesn't have the Modest/Timid nature I want, so I've been soft-resetting alot. The hunt continues. ¬_¬

I'm going at a bit slower of a pace than the rest of you - am about to take on the fourth gym. I'm determined to plow through the game blindly, as in very little if any online referencing. As a result it's a bit more harrowing as I don't know exactly what lies ahead, but hey, I've got to kill my Spring Break somehow, right?

Current lineup is the first evolution of Oshawott (so the equivalent of Wartortle), Victini, Pansear, Pidove's evolved form, Blitzle, and the Lipuppy or whatever's evolved form. All are in their early to mid-20s, save for my starter, which is around 26-27. The plan is to switch out Pansear since Victini can do double duty, and possibly the evolved Lipuppy, but it's serving as a good HM slave for now. Blitzle's usefulness also seems to be diminishing, although that might just be because I've run into a streak where Electric-type is completely useless.

Also, Secura: you're one of those players, eh?

I never bothered with Pokemon's natures; catching legendaries just one time is painful enough.

Haha, yup!

I actually don't bother with EV training, since that's a bit too complex for me and detracts from the story-based play of the game, but I do try to aim for beneficial natures and movesets that can be used competitively, and I'm not above extensive Day Care abuse to get egg moves if I need 'em.

I'm still soft-resetting for a Modest/Timid Victini, but no joy so far. -_-

I've always had a soft spot for the pokemon games, but those Black/White starters just look silly. There's always been ridiculous looking pokemon, but the starters (with the exception of that penguin) have always looked cool, my favourites being the charmander and totodile lines. I haven't even played the game, read any reviews or even seen any gameplay footage, but I'm already disappointed that they didn't make cool looking starters.

I stuck with Oshawutt. I've only just got to the sand route place, I haven't been playing as much as you people. Like GH, I'm going to blindly jump into White. That's how I played Red, Yellow, and Gold, and I recall having the most fun with those. All I've done is looked at a list thing of all the Pokemon so I know which ones are what types. I replaced that stupid monkey with a Darumaka. He has way better moves. I also scorn Timburr. Not only is that a horrible name, he looks too ugly. I had a Blitzle, but it died any single time a special attack hit him. 11 Sp Def at level 14 is utterly horrible. My other guys are a Munna (I hope to evolve or replace, I'm not a big fan of the flowers), Sewaddle, Throh, and Patrat.

I have no idea where to get Vicinti. Fire/Psychic would come in very handy.

If I didn't lose my Platinum version (waiting confirmation by aunt - it was in her car last I saw it), maybe I could trade you something with the Pokerus.

Yes. The Pokerus. I got it from a Machop I caught before I challenged Roark. My pokemon have crazy high stats.

Gah.
Just beat the "main story line" of the game.
Unlocked the national pokedex, and can enter the eastern part of the world.
Just one problem: the pokemon levels jumped from the 50s to 65 being the minimum.
Majority of my party didn't hit 50 yet.
Grind time.

Next legendary to catch: Kyurem!

Must complete the Tao Trio!
.......too bad I can't catch Reshiram....
