How do I use the Transfer Machine? I got the menu option, I select DS Download & Play with Europese SS in other DS. However the DS with SS finds Pokémon White, connects then cuts of the connection saying something in japanese... Do I need a Japanese 4th gen game for this or can I use my EU 4th gen?

[Tbird]

Follow this

[quilavaboy]

Yes I know I did all that however the DS does finds connection then the connection cuts off, white restarts and the other ds is freezing on some japanese message...

Edit: Just beated Pokemon League, pokeshifter also doesn't work. Quess it's the region...

Gonna post some general spoilers about various things to answer questions before they are asked.

For non Japanese speakers the game progression can leave you stranded in certain places...

Heavy spoilers, but I separated them with even more spoiler tags. Open at own risk :tongue:

What did Team Plasma steal at the Second Gym?

Fossilized Dragonite's Head (not an Aron lol). You can see the statue as the centerpiece of the museum. You'll figure out why by the end of the game.

[plasmashadow]

Dosnt matter i found this insted

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3706406/Files/PBWCPM.rar

its an pkm b/w action relay code maker using pkm files

try it

[Ravidrath]

I got my Raikou/Entei/Suicune and Celebi transferred over.

Finding the Zorua event wasn't so bad, but I haven't been able to find anything concrete about where to start the Zoroark event - anyone have any info on that?

So far all I've been able to find is a vague mention of a "Forest of Illusion" area, which sounds like it's a special area only for the Zoroark event, similar to Liberty Island.

[TwilightErik]

After You beat the game & get the national dex how do you upgrade to get 24 Boxes instead of 8 of them?

[bethy83]

Ummn I am Kanji stupid I know where the guy is for the Transfer Machine I know the phrase I just don't understand the menu The Staff

Easy for communication. is the phrase right? But how do I get to where the word is? I don't understand Kanji at all and I'm confused.

Also http://www.pokemon-gl.com/ doesn't work for me I tried clicking on the poke balls and nothing happens any help is appreciated.

[Midna312]

The phrase is ''Everyone happy Easy Connection''.

[jh24mvp]

hey i'm having a problem i.. i cant seem to use pokeballs to catch pokemon

like i bought them and my bag was empty... same with both great balls and ultra balls.

this is in pokemon white btw.

[bethy83]

The phrase is ''Everyone happy Easy Connection''.

Ok but the menu where you put the words at where do I go to get those words? Like I said I know no Japanese/Kanji at all.

@Ravidrath how did you do that?

[ReignOfComputer]

Have the beast(s) in your party, then go north of Route 16 to find the "Forest of Illusion".

I'm a bit stuck. I'm just outside of Thunder Stone Cave and can't go in...what do I have to do?

[war-lord]

Why doesn't the pokéshifter work?

[Kaphotics]

I'm a bit stuck. I'm just outside of Thunder Stone Cave and can't go in...what do I have to do?

Go back into town, go to the bottom left corner where the shipping bay/warehouses are and you will see Cheren.

Why doesn't the pokéshifter work?

Currently you have to have a retail japanese cart of gen 4 (no flash cart). That + Flash/Retail of B/W = Pokeshifting.

It's region locked.

[SushiTheLegend]

Okay this is weird. Victini broke out of a ULTRA BALL in the RED HEALTH but not out of a GREAT BALL at the same health. Where is the logic in this?

EDIT: I have tried several times to get it down low and use an Ultra Ball and every time it breaks out, even when it probably had say 1HP. x.x

[JumpTigerX]

its all about percentage.

[Kaphotics]

its all about percentage.

It is about the catch rate (a set number) and the ball's catch rate.

The battle RNG in B+W is weird, being static. A specific thrown ball's result will be the same if you rewound to a save state and throw it again on the same move.

Different balls may have different results, even if they have a lower catch rate # (1.5 v 2). Thats why Great ball was better than Ultra ball (for that turn at least )

[PowerlessSoul]

Hey everyone! i got pokemon white for my birthday. Anyways my question is:

where do I get boappu if i got yoappu?

[SushiTheLegend]

From what I understand. You get the elemental monkey that is weak against your starter. E.g. I picked the Grass Starter so I got the Water Monkey. And Victini if you get him is a Psychic Fire Pokemon.

[swat]

I'm playing white with desmume. Everything works great except that there is no menu in the game. What's the problem?

(Without menu I can't teach my character the HM CUT) Please answer me!

Thanx
