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

RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

I'm no expert on the subject, but a "bad nature" would normally be defined as something that gives a bonus to a stat that the Pokemon doesn't need, and/or takes away from one it does. Like, if you had something with only physical attacks, you probably wouldn't want a bonus in Special Attack, or even worse, a deficiency in Attack.
 
RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

I can use the example of my Tepig that I was breeding. I released all the ones that didn't have an Adamant Nature because that's really the best Nature that it could have.

dmaster out.

What about Lonely nature?

Question:
How can make certain that an egg will have the nature you want?

Is the whole, you can only access the Dream World, only 1 hour everyday, and it's the hour you choose thing, going to change? Because 1 hour out of 14 hours a day is pretty stupid, I know it's because of all the people accessing it, but can you only access it during the same hour everyday? And is it permanent or it is only temporary?
I can answer this one. After you get your hour of DW access, you need to wait 23 more hours to access it again (so yeah, basically the same hour every day for you, unless you allow it to sit for a day or more).

Game Sync can be used once a day to send a Pokemon, and I am pretty sure you can use Game Sync in the same day to pull it back again (after you wake it up).

If it's in Generation 3, or older = Ho-oh
If it's in Generation 4, or newer = Ho-Oh

Yeah, but is this one hour a day thing permanent? If so, it's kind of stupid, even thought it's because of the large amount of people using it

Can you get a DW snivy in pleasant Forest
No, no you can't.
 
RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

yes it's permanent, but if you don't use it for a day, then access will remain open, so you can access it at a different hour of the day instead.

Give an Everstone to the female with the nature you want. There's a 50% chance that the nature will be passed on. Kind of like Synchronize, but with eggs. Or, you could just RNG. :p

Then how/where do you?

To my knowledge, it would be an event. I have no idea, though.

RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

Masuda Method. Basically, you breed a foreign pokemon with a pokemon from your game to increase your chances to hatch a shiny.
 
RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

That sums it up nicely, but if you want a few more details, here you go:

The Masuda Method is a nickname given to a process that was hinted at by Junichi Masuda. Nothing more, nothing less. If you obtain a Pokemon that is from a different region, say, Canada if you're American, then you can greatly increase the chances of getting a shiny when breeding with a Pokemon that is from your country. The odds used to be something like 4 in 8192 in Gen 4, which can also be expressed as 1 in 2048. In Gen 5, the odds were increased to something like 6 in 8192, which can also be expressed as roughly 1 in 1366. All of this is all fine and good, and probably better if you have a Ditto from a different country, but there is a small catch. The Everstone method (that is, letting one of the parents hold an Everstone in order to pass down their nature) will not work. But if you're breeding for shinies, this probably won't matter anyway.

Theoretically, one could set their game to a country other than their own on Geonet, and then trade with one of their local friends to use the Masuda Method. I can't confirm this at all, though, because it's probably tied to the cartridge itself. But it's a theory.

Also, the Masuda Method is great when trying to abuse the RNG for shinies. You already have an almost certainty that will obtain a shiny, but it can be tedious at times. Since the Masuda Method reduces the amount of possibilities, the work is also reduced. I'm not sure if this applies to 5th Gen at this time though, with RNG research still being done.
 
RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread

It seems like one of my questions has been being ignored, so I will post it again.

I really want to do Wi-Fi battles, but it just won't let me. I use my normal in-game team, that you can see in my signature, but it says "There was something wrong with your pokemon and you could not participate" or something along those lines. My Wi-Fi signal is perfectly fine and nothing is wrong. What's going on?
