Is there ever a reason NOT to listen hard? The alternative is checking each square individually and then either waiting for shakes or clicking all the clickable areas.I don't know if anyone else noticed this or not, but I was playing the candle minigame and made no selections for a couple of seconds, and I noticed that the game gives you a hint by telling you which candles to blow out if you wait long enough. I did some brief testing and I found that if you do what it says, you always win (though it will need way more testing to see if it is actually true).
If it's true, it might be helpful for those who find it hard to win each set. However, you do end up with a low score because you aren't doing anything for a few seconds every time it's your move (I scored like 25000-30000 using this method and I normally can score 40000+ if I just do my own thing). I guess it would be like choosing to listen hard for the pokemon's cry in the searching minigame.
Didn't find anything good today. The only female I found was a Misdreavus :/

I almost always find the Pokemon before even seeing the berry (and I usually wind up going through the vast majority of the mape).The Pokémon is always on a 3x3 area (more or less) around the berry.
Is this new poll really going to take place at the PGL? I looked at the article on pokemon.co.jp and it seems to indicate that the voting process will be an on-location thing. Basically, you would need to visit a participating store in Japan and fill out a paper ballot. The eventual distribution of the Pokemon that gets the most votes also appears to be an on-location event.
Well if that's true then that would mean that they might not even have a hidden ability, which makes this even more pointless. Serebii's main site never says specifically that it has anything to do with the dream world nor hidden abilities but the bulbapaedia article kinda implies that it does (by discussing which possible pokemon have hidden abilities).Is this new poll really going to take place at the PGL?

Japan's had a Pikachu event already and the original poll started before BW was even released in Japan iirc. No one even knew what abilities Pokemon had at the start.It's going to be funny if Pikachu, the gen 3 crew, or BW wins
edit: as an aside the JP polls' top 10 had Pikachu at #4 & Rayquaza at 8.
Well I was curious so I tracked down the webpage: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pokemonvote2011/?a001=newsOOOOOH BOY HERE WE GO unless R_N is right.

They should at the very least slap Surf on that Pikachu we're inevitably going to get since every 10 year-old, even without owning the games, can walk in & vote.
Actually, getting a legendary may not be that bad after all (read: Ho-oh, Lugia)It's going to be a legendary, wait for it.
