Black and White Guidelines
Welcome to the Black and White section! Since you're reading these rules I assume you have an interest in talking about these games? If so, check out the global rules right here before reading the rest of this thread.

Black and White Gameplay
Now the English release date has passed, you're probably going to want to show your progress and post walkthrough videos or let's plays. This wouldn't be the place to put them however, but you are allowed to make these videos in the Let's Plays, Guides and Reviews subforum of the Video Gaming section.


Action Replay Codes/Cheats
You're free to post threads on Action Replay codes/other cheats as long as you mention that they could be potentially dangerous to your save files if used incorrectly.


Post-and-Go Threads
I'm trying to encourage a more discussion-based forum, so if you create a thread which is likely to only have a one-liner answer, try and find a way to reply to other people's posts and create more discussion. I just want members to stay and enjoy the discussion rather than to leave after quickly answering a few threads, so if you respond to their posts a bit it'll help encourage discussion.


Thread prefixes
You're allowed to post in any threads with the weekly poll prefix, or ongoing discussion whether they were posted in 2010, 2011 or 2012. So get creative, dig up some old discussions in the weekly polls and really get some good debates happening.

Do not use the "[B/W Weekly Poll]" or "[Ongoing Discussion]" prefix for your own threads, though, as it is only for me to use.

You can find a link to these weekly polls here.


Black and White Anime
Don't post anything about Best Wishes / Black and White anime in the Black and White section because the anime does not relate to the games. Post about the Best Wishes / Black and White anime (and movies) in the Pokémon Anime section.


Black 2 and White 2
Post about the games in the Black 2 and White 2 forum.


Other
Those are the guidelines you need to follow, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to send a PM to me. Have fun discussing!

- Forever.
