BW/BW2 Black 2 and White 2 Discussion Thread

Adding on the the last post,
Australia and New Zealand both get the games on October 11th, as well as Pokemon Dream Radar.

EDIT: Whoops, didn't see my mistake there Reshiwott, thanks. (I had the tab open, but was being stupid :p)

It's exclusive to Black 2. I have yet to test if you can find Moxie Heracross in the hidden hollows of W2, however I am certain you can only find normal Heracross in B2. I'll get back to you with a clear answer when I go hidden hollow searching in W2.

I asked on Serebii, and they said that the Hidden Hollow Heracross/Pinsir are version exclusive, although strangely they don't indicate it on the main site.

EDIT: Anyone else think that having wild Pokemon catchable in Oath Forest and/or Heart Cave early on would've helped the Pokemon distribution a bit? I mean, if you think about it, it's kind of ridiculous that you don't see any proper forests or caves until the 3rd or 4th gym (a small portion of Relic Path is accessible from Castelia Sewers) and I feel like the typical forest and cave Pokemon could be introduced earlier on while the later ones could have more unique ones.

Do want.
 
You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize how terrible the rival in this game is. He seems more interested in defeating Team Plasma than he is defeating you, and battles you less than half the time you see him. He shows up to the Pokemon League with only four Pokemon, and three of them are ripoffs of Cheren's Pokemon. Then when he finally gets a full team in post game, he only uses one non-Unovan Pokemon (Flygon). What about all those new Pokemon that they added to the game? His teams should've been like this:

Aspertia City:
Tepig/Oshawott/Snivy Lv. 5

Sangi Ranch:
Panpour/Pansage/Pansear Lv. 5
Tepig/Oshawott/Snivy Lv. 8

Rt. 4 (new):
Roselia/Magmar/Marill Lv. 25
Panpour/Pansage/Pansear Lv. 25
Pignite/Dewott/Servine Lv. 27

PWT:
Roselia/Magmar/Marill Lv. 25
Panpour/Pansage/Pansear Lv. 25
Pignite/Dewott/Servine Lv. 25

Rt. 6 (new):
Scraggy Lv. 33
Roselia/Magmar/Marill Lv. 34
Panpour/Pansage/Pansear Lv. 34
Emboar/Samurott/Serperior Lv. 36

Undella Town:
Scraggy Lv. 38
Vibrava Lv. 40
Roserade/Magmortar/Azumarill Lv. 42
Panpour/Pansage/Pansear Lv. 42
Emboar/Samurott/Serperior Lv. 44

Victory Road:
Driblim Lv. 52
Scrafty Lv. 54
Flygon Lv. 54
Roserade/Magmortar/Azumarill Lv. 55

Roserade/Magmortar/Azumarill Lv. 68
Panpour/Pansage/Pansear Lv. 68
Emboar/Samurott/Serperior Lv. 70
 
Hugh has a vendetta against Team Plasma, so it's only natural that he wants to clobber the stuff out of them. So if he can get his revenge, he is going to.

I think Hugh is the friendly rival done right.

Yeah, but he doesn't act like a rival, though. He doesn't really battle you that much, and his team is pathetic.

I wonder why they couldn't make battle environments like this outside of Pokestar Studios.
I guess because of memory restrictions?

Every rival is pathetic.
For those in Australia, EB Games is selling (preorder) Pokémon B2 & W2 for $58 with a special bonus coin, I don't know if America is doing this too, or if this has been said before, but spreading the word.

I haven't heard of this but I will keep an eye out. I'm guessing that is in Australian currency? Do you have a picture of the coin? I want to see if it'd be worth pre-ordering for.

Also, EB games still exists?! There are no more where I live, the one in the mall was changed to GameStop.

Well yeah, the main game isn't usually that difficult, but that's not what I'm talking about. His team rips off Cheren's team badly and he doesn't get a full team or any non-5th gen Pokemon until post game. It's incredibly uncreative.

I'm fairly certain EB Games merged with Gamestop back in about 2005-ish and kept Gamestop's name.

No news on America pre-order bonuses yet.
 
Here is the order page for the nice coins, yes the currency is AU and EB Games only (but will probably be with Game Stop as well)
