Oooh Sandshrew is so cute <3
I decided to ditch JelloShot and Zuri in W2. I've wanted a Reuniclus since White, but JelloShot is not only frail, but SLOW. I evolved her into a Duosion to see but it's really not worth it. She's so slow she's lucky to get a hit in before she dies. Good for competitive TR teams, not good through a playthrough.
Added BigBurgs the Impish Drifblim to my team, we shall see how she does!
Also added Grumps the Hardy Golduck to my team in place of Zuri, he's fast and strong, liking him so far.

I just realized Wowhead had a Pokemanz thread.
Derp.
My White 2 team currently is: Arcanine/Latias/Lucario/Samurott/Zoroark. All high 60s/early 70s, with a Braviary as an HM slave. i need to find a Bibarel...
Also, anyone here into Conquest?

Conquest was incredibly addicting, I didn't put it down until I beat the main storyline, and really... I havn't played it since then haha. My main team was Eevee (holding out to evolve into Umbreon but nope.. game ended..), Wigglytuff, Rhyperior, Gallade, and I totally don't remember the rest.
I should get back into it but what little game time I have is occupied by White2, WoW and continuing to soft reset my SoulSilver (which I have never played...) for a shiny starter. 2000+ resets and counting... yay..

I'm still playing the postgame of Conquest, currently in Mitsuhide's Story...that Lapras of his is OP as hell. Ice Beam kills everything. It's only the 2nd year, and I've already conquered half the map.
I haven't touched HeartGold or Soulsilver in ages, most of my time now goes to Borderlands, League of Legends, Skyrim, White 2, and WWE '13.
And Competitive Pokemon takes up a lot of my time now as well.

Yeah competitive Pokemon is really time consuming, I've been in the competitive scene for just over a year and a half(ish), I don't play PO or anything, just random matchups and tournaments through wifi. It's pretty challenging but I really love it. :D

Anyone know an easy way to solo level Joint Avenue? I've finally gotten to fiddle with it and it's absolute awesomeness.

I prefer Pokemon Showdown, as it's browser based and download free...and i guess b/c it's the simulator Smogon endorses, me being a Smogonite and all. As for tiers, i mostly play OU nowadays...running a weatherless HyperOffense team of Lead Terrakion, Scarf Genesect, Specially Defensive Rotom-W, Life Orb Mamoswine, Technician Breloom, and Choice Band Dragonite. I love Genesect so much...lol.
As for Join Avenue, i think you have to buy at the shops to level them up. Not really sure.

As someone who has not touched much pokemon sense gold and silver (the originals) I find modern pokemon talk confusing
Post by
Thror
That isn't modern pokemon talk, but competitive pokemon talk. It can sound like chinese even to pokemon geeks (the not-too-deep ones).
I used to do a bunch of competitive pokemon back when Smogon was still using the older thing, that was used before Pokemon Showdown. I did download Pokemon Showdown, but I never really got to creating a team. I used to play OU and I remember I used Alakazam and Metagross, but not much else.
Also, I am not super familiar with the pokémon of Gen5. I know some of the new OU threats and stuff, but not enough to confidently step into competitive again.
Also I never owned any handheld gaming devices, so all the pokemon games I play are on emulators. I really like Black 2.

Yeah I don't know anything about competitive play, except for a few type combos and the like. I mainly do a lot of battle frontier, which is what I did on my heart gold. And since I lost my copy of black1 I don't remember much about the 5th gen mons.
Thinking about getting black2/white2 for my bday, not to sure if I should get one of those or something else. I have been behind quite a bit on my game playing.

I really enjoy competitive even if I'm not that great. I make teams with Pokemon I like (and occasionally ones I don't like - that's how I fell in love with BrockLesdur, my Conkledurr) and I just have fun with it. It's a little confusing at first but anyone can make a Goodstuffs team and use Smogon builds to start :D

Conkeldurr is broken.
Nuff' said

So, while playing PokeMMO, I realized that Bite is really really really broken and excellent for leveling lol.

Conkeldurr is so beast for TR teams. I've got one with Uxie, Mesprit, Conkeldurr, Aggron, Togekiss & Whimsicott. It's a TR FEAR team, my Whimsicott is only level 1 and it wrecks stuff. So fun when people don't know how to conquer it (they usually don't), and still a fun team even when FEAR doesn't work out. :D
And in my White2, Oasis finally evolved into a Flygon, yay! So cool! I also replaced Annonay my Drifblim with Eighty-Six my Banette, but it kind of bothers me that half my team is Gen III..

Emboar is a good Trick Room sweeper.
It's probably one of the best physical based ones.

Right now I'm working on just getting through Black 2. Read a guide that says its better to use just four Pokemon, so those get more exp instead of trying to grind out 6 of them later on. I'm using Samurott, Excadrill, Magnezone and Darmanitan.

So I made it to the League in White2.
Team was:
PantyBacon - Emboar
Oasis - Flygon
Grumps - Golduck
Flux - Electivire
Strata - Crustle
Naraku - Zangoose (shiny)
I decided to go check out the Hidden Hollows, and on my way to the first one I got into a wild battle. I was watching Walking Dead with my boyfriend so I was only half playing, I look down and... green Azurill.
I freaked out, I'm so glad Naraku has False Swipe, I caught the little bugger in a Premier Ball! I couldn't believe it, this is only the second wild shiny that I've ever caught (and the first in 10 years!)
I named her Bubble, she is Bold with Thick Fat, not too bad! Azumarill is one of my favourite looking shinies and I couldn't be happier. I'm currently training her to replace Grumps, my Golduck. <3

It seems like B2/W2 made it easier for people to get shinys.
