Tales Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 The world move so slowly right now. The store doesn't open before 10 am, two hours from now :/
Hero-of-Time Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Tesco should be selling the game instore at £24.70 until Monday. Hopefully not store specific or anything but hope it helps anyone! I'm still on the fence as to whether to pick this up or not, but this offer is very tempting. I've just got in from nightshift but I may have a shower and then pop out and grab this before I get some sleep. Hmmm....

Murr Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 So is Tesco the cheapest then at £24.70? Cause i'll get both copies from there in that case.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I went to Tesco's at 7 but they still hadn't put their stock out. I went to Morrisons at 8 and luckly their staff stock the shelves. The game was marked down £29.99 but it rang through as £24.99. I guess they are price matching with their competition. I checked the net and Asda is also selling it for £25. Hero-of-Time sees Morrisons employee with Pokemon Black. Hero-of-Time throws cash at Morrisons employee. Morrisons employee struggles. Hero-of-Time catches Pokemon Black. I was supposed to go bed for a few hours before I go to the flicks but I guess that ain't happening. If the movie sucks I guess I can catch a few Zs at the cinema.
Tales Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 And you guys complain about student fees!! I had to pay 90£ for both...It will be worth it though <3 Did someone say a PAL game doesn't work on US DSi? It does work for me...
Adthegreat Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Well I picked this up about half an hour ago, now I just have to wait until today afternoon so that I can play it with no distractions : peace: Looking forward to playing it together with all the rest of you, especially the trades/battles that we may (inevitably) have
Ike Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 You sure do battle your friends a lot in these games, like around every corner. First gym was a close call, he kept using Work Up which increase attack and Special Attack so he inflicted a lot of damage on my Pokes. Up to the second gym now, Tepig evolved last night which will be useful for that gym, found a lot of interesting looking fighting types around the area as well. Caught a Sawk as well, first Pokemon that took more than 1 Pokeball to catch I think the beaver Pokemon is going to end up as my HM slave. So yeah, lot of interesting new Pokemon that I want to try out, but not enough party slots Couldn't put the game down last night.

I'm planning on getting there with one starter, getting the monkey that clashes with the starter, trading them both to the other version of the game, starting again, doing the same with a 2nd starter to again get another clashing moneky, trade to other version. so to sum it up, i eventually want to have all 3 starters and all 3 specific monkeys on both Black & White. I know it'll take some time but never mind.

I know it'll take some time but never mind. It doesn't take long, the start takes a little while to get started. It'll be less than an hour really if you avoid battles and such. Note you can catch the monkeys near the second gym town, although I didn't find any last night but I didn't search the area thoroughly.

I know it'll take some time but never mind. If you rush straight to the gym and the monkey then it'll be about an hour until you can trade them over.
Murr Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I think maybe i'll do it just so my White version has the 3 starters and monkeys, then i'll just breed them for transfer to Black. every generation i get both sets of games, and use one as my main Story / pokedex completing game (not actually completed the dex since Red / Blue) and the other as the assist game, so get the exclusive legendaries / pokemon from one version and send them accross to the other game, keep one game with all my old pokemon from previous generations. this time White is going to be my main game, Black my assist game.

Tales Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 That's odd. It really shouldn't. Japanese one doesn't. Well, it does. I just hope I didn't screwed up the game by saving.... Does it not work for anyone else?
Serebii Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 That said, someone did get the australian working on a Japanese 3DS
Ike Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Looks like these games aren't region locked for some reason. The Australian version worked on a Japanese 3DS
Tales Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Question, why did the game say Autumn in the beginning? I thought it was a prolouge of something I would skip to spring but is still autumn as far as I know.
Serebii Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 Spring; January, May, September Summer; February, June, October Autumn; March, July, November Winter; April, August, December
Tales Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Ah, ok. I thought the seasons and the months were identical to the real world. Thanks.
ReZourceman Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Whats everyones teams? I havnt played much left. Only just got to second town. I thought the monkeys were get 1 only? how you get them? Ive got Tepig and fleetingly training to evolve Patrat and Purrloin. will go into why this game is great later.
Tales Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Only Oshawott and Lillypup so far. Don't want Patrat.
Ike Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Current team: Pignite Lillipup Patrat Pansage Purrloin Pidgey 2Pidove Lillipup and Patrat will probably get dropped soon and possibly Purrlion. Might evolve them first. Caught a Tympole which I want to add to the team.
Aneres11 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Possible silly question: Tried to download the liberty pass thingy to be able to catch Victini, when i select receive via Nintendo Wi-Fi, tells me that there is no gift available? Am i doing something wrong? Thanks.

Aneres11 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Yeah? But i have just been to GAME and bought Black and the Strategy Guide and the guy said you have to go in stores to get it. But that's not what i thought?
