Yes it can. But only ds games. Dsi enhanced and 3ds games are locked. B2w2 are dsi enhanced. So you'll need a ds or a Dslite to play them.

Okay I need to know this.. did anyone get far in Challenge mode yet? How hard is it really? Do the random trainers and gym leaders have EV trained pokemon now, or is it still a steamroll just with more grinding due to higher levels? It would be cool to have a reasonably challenging experience, and maybe use a properly built team instead of throwing random pokes around and overleveling them ;p

Do traded Pokemon have a lower barrier for friendship evolution in B2W2; like the ones obtained in game?

The affected trainers get raised levels, hold items, better AI, and moves to cover up their weaknesses.

I don't think anyone's checked if they gain evs/ivs in challenge mode, to be fair

Serebii says ditto appears in a hidden hollow. I didn't see it on previous lists. Is this correct?

So, in-game trades.

Quote:
Location: Nimbasa City

Method:
To get these trades is rather convuluted. You first need to find the Forgotten Item in Nimbasa City. From there, you will be called when you enter random areas by the owner of the item. After the 10th call, the person will call you and tell you to meet in Nimbasa to return their Item. When you do, they will be added to your Xtransceiver. Call them to total 30 times, but you can only call from places which fulfill the conditions. On the 30th call they'll tell you they want to meet at Nimbasa City where they'll ride the Ferris Wheel with you. Call them to total 50 times, in the 40th call they'll be 'SOUND ONLY', in the 50th call they'll be wearing their work clothes, and cut the line in a second or so. Call them a 51st time. wait a day and then call them again and they'll meet you in Nimbasa City and offer to trade, willing to have any Pokémon. This can be repeated each day to go through all of their Pokémon. The Pokémon you receive varies based on your gender
Do them trade a Pikablu or what

once you call them 100 times you have to rescue them from a speeding truck

edit: Hey speaking of trades, do these guys (and the things like Gigalith, Ambipom, etc) have set IVs like last game?

Ambipom has 20/20/20/20/20/31.

Not sure about Zam and can't get Hippo so I'll assume it's the same but with the 31 in SpA.

Cottonee is the same.

Gigalith is 31 in Attack; serebii also got the nature wrong (it's Adamant, not Jolly).

Tangrowth is 31 in HP, serebii got this one wrong too (Hardy / etc.).

I'll get zam in a few minutes, hopefully.
Well if Ambipom's signature IV was speed, I'm guessing Alakazam's will be Special Attack while Gigalith's will be Defense (basing off the Emolga trade) and the sun stone grass mons & rotom will have the same as in BW1.
Wonder what the billion Forgotten Item trades have

I know this was mentioned before, but I'm not sure if there was ever an answer - is there a Mulch maniac somewhere?

The Forgotten Item trades are completely random, Gender/Nature/PID/IVs, it's all random and can actually be RNGed http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=1562987 No idea if there's a shiny lock on them or not yet. EDIT: Looks like there is a shiny lock, tried to hit the shiny frame and got a PID nowhere on the list.

Is it just me, or are there a metric assload of PP Max in this game compared to previous games? I've got like 7 of them.

They were unlimited in B/W. The Veteran trainers in the sport domes will give you one when you defeat them.

Is it because I chose to train 5 pokemon since the start that I am always behind 3-4 levels of most trainers / gym ?

I haven't even gone into the domes yet. This is just walking around.

Yes, I would say so. But Audino fixes that problem with ease.

Somewhat, but depending on your team you can perform anywhere from terribly to fine. My team was underlevelled virtually throughout the game and it performed quite decently (when I went into Elite 4 my highest was a Lv56 Lucario and the lowest was Volcarona at Lv48 :x). It really depends.
