Can anyone tell me what's so new about the exp system? I haven't noticed much

EDIT: I looked it up and looks like experience is based on opposing pokemon as well. Thats pretty cool :)

Pretty much, lower level gain more in proportion to higher leveled Pokemon, which gain less.

If its that hard maybe I should train to 70. Because I dont plan on using Revives....at all

Just saying this as reminder. The reason they're so high level is to add challenge. I don't think they intended for us to grind to be equals with the E4. I mean if u wanna level up and plow through em like any old trainer, be my guest. But its one heck of an experience fighting them without doing that.

And bring revives...you'll regret it when one of your guys faints to a surprise crit Stone Edge or whatever.

Or at least save before every fight, like I have done with Shelly the Oshawott during the Black Solo Scramble...
 
Not sure how hard it'd be, but if you want to go for it, in the end you'd get a very high leveled pick upper which is awesome.
 
^ Do a Monmen solo run. 27/37 attack stats FTW.

EDIT: 2 posts above.

i just got an idea.
Scraggy solo run = you freak out due to a dude pulling up his pants/skin and letting it drop constantly
 
Earlier I mentioned I found a shiny Litwick...well....yeah....um....I don't have any more Dusk Stones! @_@ I found one in a Dusk Cloud and used it up and found one just before Victory Road from this man. Did I miss any or will I have to grind dust clouds? >_<
 
There's one in Mistralton Cave, same room as Cobalion.

Managed to hatch my Baton Pass Venomoth, within the first batch of the ones that actually got BP bred on them. Almost didn't check the IVs on this one, due to no perfect defenses and only "relatively superior" according to the judge, but... 31/0/26/31/28/31 Timid, Tinted Lens.
 
Fiery Dance is at level 100?! Let the raging commence! Flamethrower is looking very attractive.

On another note, the battle subway is the battle tower all over again in terms of hax. Nothing changed. Just lost at 38 because a non-choiced, non-quickclawed walrein miraculously outsped my hydreigon and crit with blizzard, then froze my reuniclus with blizzard and proceeded to kill it with blizzard, never missing once in non-hail conditions.

I know it's in-game, but.. was your Hydreigon EV'ed? I believe that would matter Speed-wise
 
Sigh, Soft Resetting for a decent Zekrom is a pain in the ass. I've got a fainted Jolly Synchronize Munna in front, so hopefully that'll help some, but this is such a chore. Last one was Jolly with 30 IVs in Speed, but not quite 31, and the other IVs were horrible. I'll be here for days. :/
 
Someone tell me, how exactly do you check the nature of Reshiram/Zekrom when you catch it? Because right after, you're into battle with N, and if I recall, while in battle, you can look at stats of your pokemon but not their natures. Unless it's there, and I've been missing it this whole time.
 
Any White Version players get a Minun swarm yet? I just had a Plusle swarm in Black....and now I need me a Minun! :D

Yeah 100. Its tough but doable. I plan on leveling mine with the help of my friend's Action Re...errr I MEAN UMM.....kill countless innocent Audino to get him to 100! Yes..heheh....yeah. XD

Fiery Dance is just TOO good to pass up. It slowly locks you into a winning situation if your lucky. Loved it on PO. Or you can go with Flamethrower if you really dont wanna grind. Or Fire Blast.

After engaging the battle with N, you put the Stats of Zekrom into an IV calculator (I use Serebii's) and, when calculating, the stats should only match up with one nature, or has at least been the case with me.
 
IVs and Nature are no longer connected. They're calculated separately, which means you could have a Jolly Zekrom with all 31 IVs.

I also prefer Fiery Dance, but flamethrower is more than acceptable I think.

I refuse to hack or RNG in any way because I enjoy the games more when i play them 'clean', and i found that a merely above average IV here or there doesn't really make any noticable difference in competition.

But yeah, this here can be frustrating. I just talked to a guy in that town you take the train to, and he handed me about 11 rare candies. Not sure how to max out your candy returns from this guy, but it definitely helps. I finally got my soul silver mewtwo to 100 for psystrike using the candies he gave me.

I am seriously tempted to get someone to hack EV reducing berries onto my cart though. I have no way to raise my zekrom, victini and virizion without them because I used them to get through the game (i didn't know they weren't available). It's pretty crappy of them to not give us any way to remove EVs.

You say that now, but that whole belief instantly went away the very moment I received 999 of every TM in D/P/Pt. XD having more than one explosion was a lot more enjoyable and "clean" than having to ask every day on Serebii chat if anyone wanted to give me a extra TM they had. XD And believe me. NO one wanted to give those away. Plus I'm not talking about cheats persay like giving your Pokemon impossible stats or gives you a unobtainable event Pokemon. Those are just plain uncool. The hack I had in mind is merely, a code that speeds up a boring process: obtaining 999 rare candies. Its doable in game...but it'd be boring and long to get enough BP to buy those. @_@ Plus I'd feel guilty killing even MORE poor defenseless Audino... if those would even help at such a high level....

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any one see the Serebii news? Where he said the Dreamworld might come out next week. Theres a screenshot of the website saying so. But the website removed the announcement fairly quickly...so we can't be sure. Hopefully it is next. That'd be cool. Then I can get me some berries.
