BW/BW2 The Simple 5th Gen VG Questions and Answers Thread

RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

Haven't actually tested this yet, maybe one of you has.

Can a Normalize Delcatty use Thunder Wave to paralyze a Gengar (or other Ghost-type)? How about a Golurk?
 
RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

No, because all of Delcatty's moves are changed to Normal type when it has the Ability Normalize. And lol at Golurk; Delcatty can't paralyze even without Normalize. Thunder Wave is used to paralyze Ground types, not Ghost types.

BTW I think you should have asked that in the Competitive Battling Simple Questions thread.

It can paralyze Ground types, but since it's a Normal-type Attack, it won't work on Ghosts. Don't quote me on that, but I'm almost certain it works that way.

EDIT: Ninja'd >.<

You can still use Leer on a Ghost-type and it'll work.

...That's why I'm asking for someone who's actually tested it.
 
RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

Ok, you're really stretching the possibilities of finding someone who would actually use Delcatty. If you want some real evidence:

Haunter and Misdreavus completely stop Delcatty, as they are immune to Normalize Thunder Wave and Return, and are able to outright KO or shut it down with Will-O-Wisp and Taunt.
 
RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

^Good enough for me.
I just wanted someone who actually tried it instead of just assuming that Normal-type status moves can't hit Ghosts.
So now I know that Thunder Wave is the only (to my knowledge) status move that's affected by type matchups (or at least the only important one). (I know about Leech Seed but that's technically not a matchup - and neither is Toxic.)

Wow. I never knew those could even change XD. I must have did it by accident XD.:)

Does anyone know what the format for vgc 2013 season will be? I know it will be doubles, but will it have any special rules? Thanks.

RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

How much time do you get on the ship event each day? I noticed if you get the 2 guys where you have to press the button so many times it cuts the time drastically. Monday's I noticed you only get 5 minutes and weekends it is longer than that. Also how do you tell which trainers will battle you and which ones will not? I usually go from door to door to do the event. Is there a thing on each persons door to show they are ready to battle? Thanks XD.:)
 
RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

The whistle has to blow 5 times before you have to get of, and everytime you talk to one of the people who tell you stories it skips to the next whistle, according to Bulbapedia. And I don't think there is a way to know if some one will battle you without talking to them.
 
RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

Oh really? I never knew there were 5 whistle blows on the boat. So each whistle blow signifies 1 minute then? So for example if you get the 2 guys that talk too long it skips 1 whole minute? No wonder I have to keep saving at the gate and sometimes restarting to finish the battles XD. Thanks guys.:)
 
RE: The Fifth Gen Questions and Answers Thread

In Pokemon Conquest, I'm doing the Hideyoshi quest, and I want to evolve a Duskull and Eevee. I only have one kingdom left to conquer, so should I wait until the next story but the links get reset, or should I put the last kingdom on hold for evolving them? (They're both sort of a long way away from evolving.)
 
RE: The Fifth Gen Questions and Answers Thread

I'd put the last kingdom on hold. Even evolving them by just one stage is worth it even if the links get reset, because they're that much more powerful than their pre-evolutions.

If you want, you can even exploit it so the last kingdom is just attacking an empty kingdom, then you can drive them out again for boatloads of EXP.
 
RE: The Fifth Gen Questions and Answers Thread

Also, if you're planning on evolving Pokemon, MAKE SURE YOU BATTLE WITH THEM. If you don't battle with an evolved Pokemon before clearing an episode, the Pokemon won't be registered in your gallery, making you need to go back and train it all over again.

Turns out someone made a thread about that: http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/thread-shiny-zoroark-shiny-illusion

But this was before BW's Japanese release, so no one knew. But here's GameFAQs, to the rescue: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/989552-/58477384

I just got a Japenese Zoura and for some reason I cannot read the Japenese Pokèdex does anyone know what's wrong?

In Black/White, you cannot view foreign Pokedex entries for Gen 5 Pokemon. I have Audino from at least 20 different countries and I can't view any foreign entry for it (never mind the other foreign Gen 5 Pokemon I have).

Also, as an aside, I think the only foreign languages readable are English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese...not sure about others like Dutch, but I could be wrong.
 
RE: The Fifth Gen Questions and Answers Thread

You can read at least Korean entries in B/W, too.
