Hello! I am trying to legitimately catch every single catchable Pokemon in White Forest. It is extremely complicated, tedious, and sort of pointless. Yeah. But I'm so close to the end and don't wanna give up now lol.
I'll spare you the exact details of how Black City/White Forest works, but if you're interested, Smogon's article basically explains it super well. I have caught 27 of the 33 available Pokemon, using 23 different NPCs. I only have 6 Pokemon left and need my last 6 NPCs (Ken, Vincent, Lena, Rosa, Grace, and Frederic).
I have done this by finding YOUR Black .sav files online here at Project Pokemon, GBATemp, and other random sites, and checking what NPCs exist in Black City on the save file. I used Checkpoint on my wonderful 3DS to backup/restore .sav files to my physical Black copy. I've been through 6 different Black .sav files and was able to slowly get 27 of the 33 Pokemon so far. However, I literally cannot find ANY more user-submitted Black .sav files anywhere online. So, I might be left with one last option, which is to replay Black over-and-over, having to reach Nimbasa city each time for EntraLink and checking what NPCs I have that I could potentially send to White. This is troublesome, because it obviously takes a long time, but you only have 3 NPCs available that early on to send to White. So the odds are stacked against me, needing only 6 more of the 30+ pool of NPCs.
It's a big ask, but it would be SO appreciated if anyone can contribute their Black .sav file! I'm not looking for Pokemon, just need to see your Black City NPCs. I also am probably going to make a video on this, credit all the .sav files I used and the people who submitted them, share my methods, and create a guide for others to catch every Pokemon in White Forest just like I did! And if I have all the Black .sav files with every NPC, catching every single Pokemon in White Forest will be accessible to everyone - which is awesome to think about.
Let me know if you guys have any questions about anything! I feel like a White Forest / Black City expert now lol.
Thank you all!
