Every other game saves post-credits
That's like a rule when it comes to games that continue after the credits, you go through the whole thing and then play again to see any bonuses or new things that occurred.

Well yeah, if you have two copies of the game, you can just make two accounts and get two Eeveelutions. Do the terms of use say one account per household? Not that it matters, but how could they prove it's not, say, your brothers account?
The alternative, if you have one copy of the game, is to make multiple accounts and just restart your game after getting each one.
Mind you, you do have to play through until you've beaten Striaton Gym each time, as you can only trade after getting one badge.
I will be, i've now on my 17th box so just over 2/3 of the way there.
I've had to use False Swipe + Pokeballs from box 10 since I ran out of money bar 100,000, but i'll stop at around the 20th box and use that last 100k for 100 repeat/quick balls to finish off. Because of this, it feels like i've been doing it for days, which essentially I have. :(
Yes, but seeing that this is my first playthrough I wasn't sure when you encounter N in the Elite Four and didn't really want to ruin it for myself.
Also, the time spent getting the money could be better spent just catching level 2's with False Swipe + Pokeballs as it only takes around 5 seconds longer than using Repeat's (animation off, ect.)

To be able to RNG it at their leisure. And check the nature before the game autosaves, since nature doesn't show in battle in BW.
But since it's not hard to catch anyway (catch rate of 45, same as numerous Pokemon and higher than Dialga and Palkia's 30, Volcarona's 15, and the "usual legendary" 3), I'm not sure it's that necessary. Nature can be checked by deliberately losing in the battles after catching it. So it is practical to RNG it when it's first met.

Nope, after.
On a similar note, I was pretty pissed at the way the final battles played out... mainly the fact that not once in between catching Zekrom (for me) and the auto-save after the credits do you get to pause and check the nature of the damn thing. >_____O So what, they force you to use the first nature of Zekrom that you catch?! That's bullshit I sez. Friggin' Relaxed Zekrom.... could be worse I guess but still.... I wasted my Master Ball on that bastard too because I thought I'd get a chance to reset, but nope, like an idiot I let the autosave roll on by.
Why would anyone want to know what specific neutral nature it is? Neutral natures suck all the same :L
Also, did anyone else take the easy road and use the (leveled up to lv100, EV'ed or not) WIN2011 Celebi to beat the E4/N/Ghetsis? It also helped me catch Reshi, two +0 Energy Balls brought it down to yellow, so I caught it with my first Ultra ball.

I'm not entirely sure you can tell between max and 30 ivs, though. A Timid Reshiram with a 30 speed IV will be outsped by every one with 31...
For Zekrom, I used a Synchronizer and compared each one's stats to the max stats on this page: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/989552-/56572743 (second to last post). After a couple dozen tries I got Adamant, max speed and HP and nearly perfect attack.
In other news, Metang is giving me intense frustration!

Nope, can't be caught shiny anywhere.
Yes, you can't tell the exact IVs mid battle; but if you're RNGing and aiming for a 31/31/31/31/31/31 spread, and the calculator tells you you've hit 30-31/30-31/30-31/30-31/30-31/30-31, you can be pretty sure you hit your seed.
It's possible some Natures could be hard to detect with extreme IVs, I guess; maybe, something like 31 Attack IV Timid coming out to the same stat as 0 Attack IV Adamant. (Or something similar). But if you're RNGing, you will get enough info to find what you hit, so from that you can easily see the nature.
What exactly are you supposed to do after you beat the elite 4? I went West from Nuvema down and found 1 of the 7 sages but then I went to the dream yard and battled 1 trainer and his pokemon were all level 60+, so I went back to Opelucid and went East and the first trainer I saw had pokemon level 60. Mine are all 50-52, am I supposed to grind and train before I go out or am I missing something?
Lol, seems to me your over leveled. Of course, there's a massive jump from when you beat the game to the post-game stuff in terms of levels, so don't be surprised if your fighting level 60s to 70s afterwards. Luckily, most of the trainers use not fully evolved Pokemons or not very strong Pokemons, so you should be fine with the team you used to beat the Elite Four with, but bring some Potions and Revives just in case
As you progress through the levels, the different kinds show up. Espeon and Umbreon show up next, and Leafeon and Glaceon near the end, making those two the hardest to get.
I'm finished EVing the Whimsicott, Gurdurr and Hydreigon I hatched earlier. Still need to evolve Gurdurr but I haven't had access to wifi for awhile. I got impatient and used almost all my rare candies that were saved up to evolve Hydreigon; audino grinding was getting boring and it was just too tempting. A level 64 evo? Really?
Next up: Reuniclus, Venomoth and Volcarona. I spent all that time soft resetting for a good volcarona, and I just now realized that morning sun is an egg move. FML.
After Zoroark, Keldio, Prankster Sableye, Techloom, Droughttales, Chlorophyll Venusaur, Skill Link Cincinno and magic bounce Espy become available to me, i'll be raising those too. I want a chandelure too, but I need more testing to decide what I should do with it. Then I need the EV berries for Zekrom, Victini and Virizion, and i'll be done raising pokemon in b/w.

Leafeon is a fucktard to acquire. The end.
What the... after i beat the first level of the minigame, it freezes...
any tips?
