Starting July 31st, American, European, and Australian players of HeartGold and SoulSilver can download the event item "Enigma Stone". This allows players to have the opportunity to battle the Eon Pokemon that they didn't have the chance to in normal gameplay. The Enigma Stone also turns into a Soul Dew item, which is hard to come by.

HeartGold: Latios
SoulSilver: Latias.

The event ends on August 27th.

You can still get the stone if you haven't met those requirements. That elaborate explanation is just a fancy way of saying that you need to have gotten to Kanto, without spoiling too much. The Enigma Stone activates in Kanto, which you can only explore when you've beaten the Elite Four, and have gotten the National Dex via boarding the SS Aqua.

So you're saying that you can physically obtain it, just not use it yet.

Right. It'll sit in your inventory (or the Delivery man will hold it until you pick it up) and be useless until you make the event activate.

I finally managed to chain a shiny Beldum yesterday, through my sheer dumb luck as usual. I've been unlucky enough to have only gotten two swarms of Beldum the entire time I've been playing. The first time I tried, I managed to get a chain of forty going, but it broke for no reason, with no shinies. The last Beldum I caught became my currently used Metagross though. Anyway, I managed to get to a chain of seven yesterday, and the eighth patch was a shiny one that yielded an Adamant shiny Beldum. My very first chained shiny pokemon.

My very first shiny just so happened to be my very first pokemon as it was. My Squirtle from Blue. Just to think that they didn't technically exist until G/S/C came out.

So that leaves only one more, as I've encountered three naturally, though they all have something about them that may nullify their validity, Beldum being chained, Squirtle being from before they existed, and a Caterpie that was encountered randomly on a ROM.

At the time, I had no way of actually getting it onto my copy of Ruby or my copy of Diamond, so I didn't think much of it besides the blind rage I felt at the time.

Anyway, Shiny thread. Discuss your favorites, your catches, your stories, whatever.

The only two shinies I have are a level 30 Gyarados in SoulSilver (Red Gyarados) and a female shiny Blaziken in Platinum.

Let's see... In all my time playing I've naturally encountered 4 shiny pokes and caught 3 of said pokes. First encounter was a Tangela back in Gen 2 on gold. Second encounter wasn't until my second play through pearl, a shiny Shinx. Third encounter was in Heart Gold, first wild pokemon that attacked after surfing in Vermilion Harbor right after exiting the SS Aqua. The fourth encounter happened after I started up a game on Emerald, while grinding a Poochyena I ran into a shiny Wurmple. So far that's been all.

Pretty simple thread - got the idea from this: http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=18383

Post what your team would be in B/W, using only B/W monsters. As more are unveiled, or your mind changes, feel free to update your team. Handy reference for names to our new faces: http://serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml

Well, I'll definitely pick the fire pig starter

I'm liking the little bandit crocodile guy

that little bird pokemon looks a lot more like a pidgeon than pidgey does.

If that thing is a coffin pokemon of some sort then i'll probably be using it

The axe dragon and the purple rock monster are both pretty cool looking.

I'll probably give goth loli gardevoir a try, I'm sure she'll be ALL the rage in this year's pokeporn.

Floating green ectoplasm guy looks interesting. wonder what type it is? Ghost/normal, maybe?

All in all, these new pokemon aren't too bad. not feeling too hostile to hardly any of them, really.

I don't believe this. This bastard is psychic type? He could have easily been grass/ghost. And the black and white pokemon is psychic as well? And the pink pig. Jesus, just, er, no, wow. I mean the other 20 or so psychic types aren't good enough? Azelf and alakazam aren't good enough special sweepers? Cresselia isn't a good enough tank? CAN'T THEY COME UP WITH ORIGINAL TYPES?

I was thinking the goth loli was a Dark/Psychic type. Who knows? Perhaps Rankurusu might have another type. As for Koromori, I guessed Ghost/Flying.

Alright so bit of a dickhead question, but humor me.

Do Berry Plants stop growing if I don't use the berries?
Its just that I've been playing Sapphire and have been collecting berries. I've noticed that some dirt patchs, where once there were berries, are now empty. Now if memory serves me, then these patchs use to have Nanab berries, amoung others. Now I have 50+ Nanab berries in my bag, so is that the reason why? Is it because I haven't used them yet?

Oh well, like I said I have like 50 berries. Guess I'll just grow some more.
>> No. 2115
there was a bug in the 3rd gen games that stopped the berries from growing after a year or so. don't ask me how they track time...
>> No. 2116
Possibly you haven't fixed the Berry glitch?

Original thread here, >>998. Continue discussion in this thread.
We've learned a lot about B/W since April. With a September release in Japan, we continue to get more information leak by leak. What more is in store? With B/W playable at E3, we're sure to acquire a treasure chest full of screens and information.

Lol. Personally, I'm excited to see the poison/dragon/ ice/dragon, ans to see what a normal/ghost looks like lol. And dark/psychic seems interesting too.

And if 642/643 are gonna be version exclusive counterparts, or at least fire/water counterparts like magmar/electabuzz, or pidgey/spearow. You get the picture lol.

Victini looks better as it did in the Anime teaster, though, I didn't imagine it to be a Legendary! :O
Either way, it's interesting that it's indexed as #000, but I certainly hope it'll get a normal number in the National Pokedex. :P

EU - July 9th, 2010
US - Holiday 2010

Personally I'm not excited, though I don't actually know much about it. It looks beautiful, but I haven't heard much buzz about people in Japan having a blast with it, or even seen a video that shows me how it's fun. It'll be funny if Rumble, a $15 WiiWare game, is more fun than an full $50 retail release. But here's to hoping it ends up fun.

Let us know how it is, pirates and EU residents.

Since is uses the dpad there's no way to really choose how fast you want to walk. Either you walk really slowly or you dash. When dashing you can't make sharp turns and it's usually hard to stop dashing except by jumping.
Not being able to turn gets incredibly annoying during battles.
Thunderbolt is on the A button which is really impractical. Again, especially during battles.
You can't control the camera, except by centering it, which would be fine if it actually did it properly instead of centering on any Pokémon that happen to be nearby.
All these problems could be solved really easily by using the Nunchuck so I really don't understand why they didn't.
Even though it's got some control issues it somehow manages to be incredibly easy. I don't think it's a good thing to be able to defeat a Mamoswine on the first try without taking any damage, and I've never lost any of the attractions. The one thing that manages to be somewhat challenging is when you have to jump from one thing to another, and that's just because of the dpad.
This could've been a really good game if they just fixed the controls and made it a bit harder, but they didn't so it's not.
This had such potential too...

While I guess this sounds really negative it's not really a bad game, because it does still manage to be somewhat fun at times. Really wouldn't recommend buying it at full price though.
>> No. 2009
A too short game (4 hours for the scenario) and after you feel a great emptiness. Certainly, there are still lots of Pokémon to unlock the back, but the game is frankly as short as Pokémon Channel, even if the game is more addictive.

A more appropriate title would include the word 'butthurt' inside, but let's ot get into it.

Really, I'm dissapointed over Bulbagarden and Serebii siding against WPM as if he commited a crime (irony?). BMGf has basically turned into a minefield, and people could be more accepting and thankful(?) over WPM's attachment to reporting the news. It's not like he gave us the GS Beta or the RG prototypes, but surely he did something. I think that Archaic and Merrick take it too much as srsbzness. "Oh, look, he recorded the commercials shown in the movie! We condemn his actions!" The irony is that in 2 - 3 days they will surely go to post the leaked CoroCoro scans without comending anyone for leaking them. And the official responce on this? "We don't even know who leaks the scans." And in the end... Why even care? Seriously, nationalist, xenophobic trolls on 2ch report WPM. Why even care?

That said, WPM sure was a bit too stupid in posting the news so happily. Not to mention his later responce on the critisism. I believe that if his intention was exclusively to report the news (which obviously wasn't; more like 'to report the news exclusively') he could as well post the photos on 2ch, and seconds after that on his site, without mentioning he shot them himself. But I guess he thought that he went into the risque of taking the shots, why not go a bit further?

What does /dex/ think?

From now on my name, Captain N., will both imply that I know of and am a fan of the old cartoon as well as Nintando ANNND be a pun relating to this character. If anything it should represent that "I am" both Captain N. and N.


Man, it would suck if this fellow turned out to be made of bad/fail, in that instance this statement would then be retracted.
