Started playing Pokemon Black 2

Big Boss · February 20, 2016, 01:54:26 PM

I've only played it once so I thought it would be good to refresh my memory of it.

Few things though, they seem to really be pushing towards making the game easier, at least near the beginning. People just throw items at you left and right.

Also I forgot that names in Gen 5 are lower case instead of ALL CAPS so half my team has ALL CAP NAMES until I get to the name rater, unfortunately.

For this run I decided to ditch my starter until I get something decent. I'm 6 hours in and I'm at Virbank, about to fight the 2nd gym (Poison type).

My current team is:

KAKAROT (Riolu) -Lvl 19
Copycat
Quick Attack
Force Palm
Counter

Riolu is gonna be my main fighter for this playthrough I think. Lucario's a beast.

RAIJIN (Mareep)- Lvl 12
Tackle
Cotton Spore
Thunder Wave
Thunder Shock

Ampharos is one of the better Electric types you can get. Thunder Wave is really good for support too so I'll be keeping that.

CARREG (Oshawatt)- Lvl 13
Tackle
Tail Whip
Water Gun
Water Sport

I don't really like any of the starters so I doubt I'll be holding onto this.

HWYADEN (Psyduck) - Lvl 11
Water Sport
Scrath
Disable
Water Gun

Golduck is a pretty decent Water type, and Confusion and Disable will come in handy. I might replace Oshawatt with him.

Sam Tan (Growlithe) -Lvl 11
Roar
Ember
Leer
Odor Sleuth

It was a choice between this and Magby for the Fire type, and I prefer Growlithe visually so there you go.

So yeah, how's this for a team so far?

Pippen · February 20, 2016, 01:58:14 PM

You have a similar team to me...

Reminds me that I have to finish my 2nd playthrough.

Big Boss · February 20, 2016, 02:00:00 PM

The game hinted that I should get a Magnemite to tackle the Poison gym.

I could just wait for Riolu to evolve into Lucario, but it's nighttime so I can't do that unless I fiddle with the 3DS clock

as long as you got a growlithe it's all good

I must admit, I'm actually really enjoying the Pokestars Studio minigame. I usually avoid the Contests and their equivalent but this is actually pretty fun. It's like a puzzle, trying to figure out how best to do it.

Pippen · February 20, 2016, 07:59:35 PM

Btw. I fucking love Magnemite, Magneton and Magnezone. So fucking good in battles.

I don't like the design so it's not going on my team. I'm not gonna use anything I hate looking at.

Dunno about back, but Black was pretty good tbh.

Big Boss · February 21, 2016, 08:55:40 AM

Just beat Elesa on my first attempt, GO TRAPINCH YOU ROCK. (Ground?) Fuck Emolga though, that shit's annoying.

I fixed the nicknames finally. I can't even remember what happens next so it's ll uncharted waters from here on out.

Cant do that when you tanked your way through the game with the water starter. Gen 6 was when i stopped tanking.

Oh you fucked up.

You should've waited for Growlithe to get much higher in levels. Before Arcanine. Because now a lot of moves are gonna be hard to get.

Psyduck is hard as fuck to train right now. He's slow as SHIT and everything just fucks him up.

Pippen · February 21, 2016, 10:50:12 AM

Probably two very important moves to Arcanine, Flamethrower and Flame Wheel.
