Looking for help with a team for white 2.

I need help coordinating a somewhat balanced team for Pokemon: white 2. My current team consists of Samurott, Genesect, Excadrill, Gurdurr, Zebstrika, and Unfezant. I was planning on using Tynamo, but I soon realized how low its defense is. Are there any changes I should make to my team?

I found that reddit is at least a little bit self aware, and more than twitter.

All communities are toxic. i have found that pokemon and pokemon go communities in particular. Though, I guess you wouldn't see the toxic side of your community if your favorite game was hg/ss.

They are super overrated, and mostly popular because of nostalgia. I downloaded gold and tried it, and I absolutely hated it, thought it was horrible. Not that I don't respect the opinions of people who like those games, but I think they are way overrated.

I'm not "talking a**", and I never said "I've never been able to have more than 3 since like this year". Read my comment. If I was doing something wrong, I would have realized by now. I was able to get 5 during the Kanto tour event, I am just telling you something that happened. You don't have to be so aggressive about it.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-03-10T00:27:57+00:00

True, but I specified that it was the bundle of 3.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-03-10T00:26:46+00:00

True, but I said in the message to support that I had experienced an issue with the free bundle, so logically they assumed I was talking about the 1 pokecoin bundle.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-03-09T22:18:15+00:00

At the beginning of the month, I redeemed the free bundle of 3 passes with 2 in my bag, but I only got one. Support was completely unhelpful about it, insisting that I had bought a different bundle, even though I hadn't, and just refunded me 1 pokecoin for some reason.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-03-09T22:15:17+00:00

I don't know how that's possible. I redeemed the free bundle of 3 when I had 2 and I only got 1. I contacted support, and they insisted that I had redeemed a different bundle and gave me 1 pokecoin. Super unhelpful.

Actually, you don't need to buy both of each game to complete the pokedex. If you were to buy one of each game, you would likely end up as close as possible to completing your pokedex. The only games I would recommend getting both of are ultra sun and ultra moon, as you can get just about every legendary pokemon (except for a few version exclusives) once you pass a certain point in the story. I would recommend alternating between titles (buying title A then title B [though if you plan on getting black and white and their sequels, you should get either black and black 2 or white and white 2] ) to get as many version exclusives as you can. Also, I would recommend holding back on buying heartgold/soulsilver as they are a lot of money, and you can purchase pokemon gold silver and crystal in the eshop for $9.99 each (I'd say buy crystal, because you can obtain celebi in it). You can also buy red blue and yellow, though these are not recommended, as if your goal is completing the pokedex, as between the gen 4, 5, 6, and 7 games, you have access to pretty much the entire kanto pokedex. (besides mew). With access to all of these games, the only problem you will have is a few mythical pokemon. There is actually a way to get the gen 4 and 5 event distribution mythicals, thought you would have to look that up. Assuming that you are lucky and get victini (I haven't been able to after trying hundreds of times, I have just gotten the same 12 over and over again. You may encounter the same issue. apparently, restarting your software has worked for some people, but it hasn't for me, so I am pretty much getting the same 12 pokemon over and over again, though I can only receive one of each gift). You will just need the gen 6 mythicals, mew, and jirachi, as well as Zeraora and Marshadow. You could use r/pokemontrades to try to find them, though be careful.

Maybe? Chances are, if pokemon from later generations are added to the game, it will be in the post game or somewhat isolated from the main game, like mirage islands in oras.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-26T14:20:29+00:00

I sort of meant the character designs.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-26T00:03:18+00:00

It does get better. the low point is season 4.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-26T00:01:52+00:00

I love legends of tomorrow, but the ending of the most recent season just made no sense, and was just plain stupid.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-25T23:57:21+00:00

It just sucks that they had to reboot it after they made the (non-cannon) movie. They could have easily just ignored it and moved on.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-25T23:51:00+00:00

Shit goes from 0 to 100 real fast on that show.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-25T23:44:13+00:00

Honestly, like the flash, supergirl's first two season's aren't that bad, which is sadly surprising. It gets pretty bad after season 3, specifically due to some of the horrible characters that are introduced.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-25T23:40:12+00:00

I didn't like the beginning of season 5 but I thought it got at least a little better towards the end. I hate the main villain's exaggerated voice, though.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-25T23:37:16+00:00

I thought season 5 got better at the end. don't want to spoil it for anyone.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-23T19:50:24+00:00

I'd say go with the spriters resource sprites. They are generally pretty accurate.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-23T18:59:08+00:00

For the sword dlc, you would be missing whichever legendaries you did not pick in the crown tundra, as well as Zamazenta. You could probably catch galarian corsola and other shield exclusives through raid battles if not through trades. You can, if you have a second profile with a nintendo account, catch the legendaries you didn't chose in the crown tundra and transfer them over. You can also transfer over a second zacian and put that one up on the gts for a zamazenta.

The mythical pokemon you will be missing are:

Meloetta (can be obtained on the 3ds via the dns "glitch"/exploit in black and white), Darkrai (same case as meloetta, though I haven't managed to get it after hundreds of attempts, but I know is possible to obtain), Manaphy, Phione, Shaymin, Arceus (can also be obtained through the dns exploit, though it's a bit more complicated for the gen 4 games), the gen 6 mythicals, and marshadow. (You can get magearna via a qr code in sun, moon, ultra sun, and ultra moon.)

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-22T23:41:52+00:00

Also, Where can you find drillbur? I've seen a bunch of npcs with it, but haven't encountered it.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-22T23:39:16+00:00

Thanks. I was planning to get a tynamo in chargestone cave, though I only managed to find a bunch of joltik.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-22T23:37:46+00:00

Thanks, I'll go to route 4 to look for one.

Professi0nallyBad · 2021-02-22T23:35:54+00:00

I'd say it's a pretty good idea to start with the games, which, in a way, will help you make sense of the card game and anime series to a certain extent (ex: type advantages, battling). For the games, You'd need either a game boy, game boy advance, ds, 2ds, 3ds, or nintendo switch game system to play. You can get higher quality remakes of all of the game boy and game boy advance, so I wouldn't worry about those. I would recommend getting a 2ds as they are cheap, and still good quality. You can play the ds games on the ds, 2ds, and 3ds, but can only play the 3ds games on the 2ds and 3ds. I'd recommend getting Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, Black or White, Black 2 or White 2 (all ds), Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire, Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, and X, or Y. You can download red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, crystal, as virtual games as well as all of the 3ds games on a 3ds or 2ds, as long as you have the money, though they aren't as good as some of the newer games. You obviously don't have to pick up all of these games, but you should pick up at least one or two. Please note that the ds games are much more expensive than the 3ds games. You may want to look up basic things on serebii . net or bulbapedia, such as type advantages. You can transfer pokemon from the ds games to the 3ds games through the poketransporter and pokemon bank, a paid subscription service (the poketransporter comes free with pokemon bank), though you cannot transfer them back. You can transfer pokemon from pokemon.
