lol... Smogon.

I don't really care for their rules. If they ban something and Nintendo bans something for the VGC, then I follow that.

My rain team is almost done... Just need a particular move tutor to be in B2/W2 and hope they're 100% (trade back and forth between) compatible with B/W.

hope they're 100% (trade back and forth between) compatible with B/W.

I don't know why people have any sort of doubt about this. This isn't a new generation of games, it's likely going to run on the exact same engine, and there's no reason to believe it would be totally separated anyway.

I'm with you on that, and they must have started production on BW2 right after BW1. The only thing I want is for BW2 to incorporate the lower screen features featured in Heart Gold and Soul Silver, that and I wanna walk with my skreeonk Pokemon It pissed me off how they completely ignored the great new features in the prior game.

[GreenAiden555]

I say that simply for the fact that we don't know how Kyurem's formes come into play. Will they be able to communicate like 3rd gen to 4th and 4th gen to 5th, or will we have free trade like D/P to Pt.

No one knows until an announcement is made or until will play the games.

It's the same generation, and the new Pokemon were probably made during production of Black and White.

They had no issues giving Giratina a new form in Platinum. :/

Nintendo bans are way retarded and change every year to like no gen except 5th and etc.

I didn't care for natures or EVs at first until I saw how much of a difference they made. If you don't go for them then you'll be surprised how much of a difference it makes.

For example: I had a Salamence that I didn't EV train or have a compatable nature and it's Attack stat was around 330. Then I got a Salamence with an Adament nature and it's Attack stat got 252 EV and it's Attack broke the 400 mark. I was sold on both after I found that.

Do you know how much non-speed high IVs influence a poke? I actually find IVs to be more of a chore to get than Evs.

[Tim85]

I know they influence a lot. I only focus on attack stat for natures and the Alert to Sounds char. for speed.

Anyways I'm on the hunt for two DW Pokemon for my new team. I need a Adaptablity Corphish and Marvel Scale Dratini. If anyone has a female of these two, let me know.

EDIT: Cancel that request. GTS again.

[MothraRocks]

Ugh, I'm so bored I may start a new game on my emerald, migrate everyone else first.

What's the difference between IVs and EVs?

[Flygon King]

What's the difference between IVs and EVs?

IV's, or Individual Values, are a set of numbers between 0 and 31 that determine how high a Pokemon's stat is. These cannot be changed once a Pokemon has been captured. People try to RNG the game in order to obtain Pokemon with perfect IV's across the board. IV's also affect what kind of Hidden Power a Pokemon has.

EV's, or Effort Values, are determined by what pokemon your mon takes down. Zubats, for instance, give off 1 EV of speed per kill. 4 EV's equals 1 increase in that particular stat. Each stat can obtain a maximum of 255 EV's, and a Pokemon can only have a maximum of 510 or so EV's. When you look up sets on Smogon from 4th and 5th Gen, the maximum stat for a Pokemon is the combination of a Nature that raises that stat, maximum IV's in that stat, and maximum EV's in that stat. For example, an Infernape with an IV of 30 in speed will always be slower than an Infernape with 31 IV's in speed, if both are the same nature, and have the same EV's...

Like a boss, I've started two Pokemon walkthroughs on YouTube, Yellow and Crystal. Check it out if your up for a good laugh. I'm enjoying Crystal so far, same with Yellow. I prefer them over Black and White but a wide margin. Link to my channel, check it out you won't be disappointed.

Replaying through HG again, right on the tail of a previous playthrough. Team plans:

Typhlosion
Pikachu (w/ Fly)
Forretress
Politoed
Venomoth
Kecleon

Nickname plans are as follows:

Typhlosion-Burny Mac
Pikachu-???
Forretress-Steely Dan
Politoed-Poli Shore
Venomoth-Tim Tebug
Kecleon-???

I am very sad that neither AlickBaldwin nor AlickTrebek will fit for Kecleon.
