I started playing black again today. but now i really want to get into the competitive aspect of the game(s)
but i´m gonna need some tips. ive been hearing about some ev and iv training, but everything sounds so difficult.
and what pokemons are easy to start with?

I just pick Pokemon that seems interesting to me, even if they're really not that great. (like Klinklang, lol) Also, don't bother with IVs yet if you're just getting into competitive battling. Its a MAJOR headache.
Just start with EVs and natures.

I just found out there's a new victini event going to the 31st od DEC i got mine yesterday.

Moves:
Fusion Flare
Fusion Bolt
V-Create
Searing Shot

Almost at my 300th hour of playing, and still loving it. I have at least 25 Pokemon EV trained and ready to battle, just got done EVing my Brave nature Torterra.

hey sry to bug the b/w thread but i need some help in pokemon pearl geting a burmy because the evolution of it is the last one i need for my pokedex my fc is in my sig if you want to help out this poor person who doesn't have black nor white yet i have pokedex 3d on my 3ds

Burmy has two evolutions. Wormadam (whose form depends on what form it had during evolution) and Mothim. Wormadam evolves from the female and Mothim from the male Burmy. It evolves somewhere around level 20 if I recall correctly. Shouldn't be overly hard to get it.

Just a heads up everyone, the Mewtwo Mystery Gift promotion started today. So go get him!

Whoa really? Want!

Yeah, I needed it for my pokedex. It's in my pc with all my other legendary Pokemon.

Got mine. Timid nature but sucky IVs. Still, nice free Pokemon!

Eh, I already got it in Heart Gold in that cave....with a pokeball no less! I just want get it just because I can.

But it has Psystrike 30 levels early.
Psssyyyyssssttriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikeeeeeeee

In other news, a Lv. 100 Arceus is now available on Global Link. Pick it up while you can!

Just picked up the free Mewtwo for my copies of both black and white. How long does the free Mewtwo gift last?

@Tasuki
Do you mean the Mewtwo or the event itself?
If it's the Mewtwo, I'm pretty sure you keep it forever.
If it's the event, it is said to end on March 6th according to Serebii.

@Shadow100: Whoops yeah I was talking about the event. So if I were to erase my game and start over I will be able to get Mewtwo again?

When I finally get back to playing White, I'm going to make it a priority to build a team entirely of Dewotts.

I don't care if I don't technically "win" any competitive battles, I'll have a TEAM FULL OF DEWOTTS! I'll be the superior trainer in every battle by default.

I've beaten the game but I'm still playing trying to get the Pokedex filled and finding everything I missed in my first run, one such thing is EV training, I have no EV trained pokemon but I'm willing to do it, I have many questions though but I'll try to keep them to one or two at a time

• why is EV training interesting? I mean when I battle online all pokemon are set to lvl. 50 why would it matter having them EV trained?
• if I catch a wild pokemon at lvl. 30, would his EV stats be all 0? ( caught Axew and will get him trained in Attack/Speed).

EV training is how you get the most out of any given pokemon. It can give you an edge in competitive battling, but even then, EVs are just the tip of the iceberg.

Yes, a wild pokemon, regardless of level, has 0 EVs.

But for the best explanation of EVs, you should read this: http://www.serebii.net/games/evs.shtml

Huh...so that's EV training...
At first I was a bit intimidated, but it really doesn't seem that hard. I may try this next Pokemon game.

I recommend doing it after you beat the main story.
