5th Gen The Unova Travel Journal

Well I've been playing for over 3 hours now. I've caught a lillipup, patrat, munna, and Purrloin. Other than that:
- Beat first gym, pansear that I received helped a bit.
- Beat the Team Plasma grunts at dreamyard and received the c-gear from Fennel.
- Left Striaton City and evolved my Samo (Oshawott) into Dewott on route 3 where I'm currently at.

Did I post saying I started a new game? Because having badly natured Pokemon was not fun, mainly because they kept dying. So I restarted and tried to get either a good nature or a nature that doesn't really affect them...
------------

Okay, so after spending a bit of time trying to catch a Victini with a good nature, I settled with a nature that doesn't affect anything. I beat the third Gym leader (fainting his Leavanny with one move.) Also, my Blitzle evolved. :> I'm at Nimbasa City now, and I was stuck in a Ferris Wheel with an (presumably) insane N.
I've also tried out the Pokemon Musical. Do you actually get anything decent out of it? :S Additionally, I've used the Relocator to transfer my shiny beasts.

- Back to Route 7, passed through Twist Mountain (again, long, long training).
- Arrived in Icirrus City and met Grandpa Juniper.

I think i'll catch up some Rare Candies for Fraxure, I don't want to train a lot all the team!

I've been playing for quite a bit since Friday. I've just obtained my fourth gym badge at Nimbasa City and I'm currently heading towards Route 5 to train up my Pokémon. My gym battle at Nimbasa City made me realise that my team is quite weak to the Flying type - her Emonga almost swept my team with Aerial Ace, so I've started training a Roggenrola as my fifth Pokémon.

My team so far consists of:

Swoobat - Level 28
Scraggy - Level 28
Pansage - Level 28
Pignite - Level 29
Roggenrola - Level 21
Patrat - Level 4, (HM's)

Alright, I defeated Lenora, trained my Pokemon some, fought trainers and Team Plasma in that forest (forgot what it was called), and now I'm at Liberty Island to catch a Victini.

Pansear Lv. 26
Munna Lv. 27

:moved from a thread:

Good afternoon pokecommunity.

This is my first post, though I have been lurking the forums now for approximately a month and a half. White version is the first poke game I've played sincerely since silver on the GBC(purchased soulsiver a month ago to hold me over until white). Me and my gbc had some great times. I remember playing yellow blue or silver on the long car rides to and from the lake house as a kid.

Enough reminiscing though; This game is great. A few specific things that I like are the new camera angles (running around in Castelia makes me feel like I'm playing ff7), the fact that they combined the pokecenters and pokemarts, and the fact that team rocket is no where to be seen (this story has a new twist. Similar, but new.) I just captured victini and am very pleased with the smooth progression of the game.

I also purchased the limited edition hardcover collector's edition guide #018973, which I'll say is very smart looking. I've come across two typos so far, but other than that it is a very nice guide.

I look forward to communicating with you all further! Have a great day

As of right now, I just reached Nacrene City. I have a Level 18 Dewott and a Level 12 Woobat in my team. I temporarily used Pansear to help me with Cilan, who KO'd my Oshawott. I want to grind off of Audino, but I have yet to see the grass shake...

:D Just got my White version about an hour ago!

Ok!
-Started with Oshawott
-Caught a Patrat and Lillipup (Not gonna use the Patrat, though.)
-Battled N
-Battled Bianca and Cheren again
-Made my to Striaton City
-Got myself a Pansear
-Training a bit for the Gym now

Oshawott Lv. 11
Lillipup Lv. 12
Pansear Lv. 10

I really lucked out this time! I haven't even reached the first gym yet and I got my entire team infected with Pokerus! Pic related, this guy is staying in the box to be my carrier.

Well, I've just completed the first.. half? of the game. Defeated the last Gym leader, reached the Pokémon League and... I don't want to spoil it for anybody who doesn't know what happens. But, I've really enjoyed playing this game. The story is the most in-depth of any pokémon game to date. it actually makes you feel like you are/are doing something important rather than just a bystander who happens to get involved.

it's odd, but this game has made me feel emotional, like no other Pokémon game has. i don't know... the whole situation N is in, plus a scathing comment from ghetsis abouit him.. It made me think. D:

Anyway, here's my team at the conclusion of this part of the game. Now off to do the next part! Got my national dex, too. =D

Reshiram Lv. 51 (removed Cinccino lv. 55 from my team to make room during the finale)
Zebstrika Lv. 55
Unfezant Lv. 55
Ferroseed lv. 55
Mienshao lv. 56
Samurott Lv. 58

For Black, I choose Oshawott and quickly defeated both Bianca and Cheren. After receiving the Pokédex and learning how to catch Pokémon, I proceeded onto Accluma (spelling) Town and defeated N using Oshawott. Moving on, on Route 2 I caught a Purrloin and started training her.

But now I'm starting to think there's something seriously wrong with her after being 2HKO'd by Cheren's Purrloin, when her Scratch usually does a tiny amount of damage. Now I'm off to the Dreamyard to train...

I am playing on White , and Chose Oshawott as a starter , the game seems pretty easy to me as of now , and Oshawott is level 15 , just defeated The first gymleader Cilan :)

Dear Journal,

I just arrived in Striaton City after my long journey from home. Coming from a far away region, the places and people here are so different, not to mention the Pokémon. Upon my arrival, I got the chance to meet up with Prof. Juniper, who kindly gave me a choice of one of the Unova region starters. It was a generous gift, but I immediately fell in love with Oshawott, the Sea Otter Pokémon. Traveling with him all the way from Nuvema Town, I've learned that he's quite the adamant type.

Along the way, I met two long time friends, Cheren and Bianca. They too received a choice of the Unova starters as a gift from Prof. Juniper. Eager with our new Pokémon, the three of us faced off in battle for the first time. With smart tactics I managed to come off on top between the two of them.

Obtaining the Unova PokéDex from the Professor and shifting high gear into my new adventure, Oshawott and I headed off. Not far into our journey, and anxious to make my first catch, I caught a Lillipup. He's proven himself quite the powerhouse so far and shows he never likes to lose in battle.

Well, that's all for now. Until next time...

Just beat the first gym leader. Took me many attempts to beat him because my team's levels were so low except for Tepig who was instantly killed by the gym leader's water type monkey. (I memorized so many other things that my brain doesn't have much more room for black and white pokemon names.)

Havin some trouble with Elite Four, (Lovin' the music)

but yeah, my teams levels are similar but spaced

Vanilluxe - Level 48
Emboar - Level 45
Zebstrika - Level 45
Swanna - Level 46
Mushrana - Level 43
Liepard - Level 43

Anyone help as to places to train, to get them to high 40's/low 50's?

and any team reccomendations? - Thanks!

I plan on buying Black soon too, I just love Pokemon B/W! some of the cutscenes and gameplay I've experienced are just astonishing, they really went all out with these games!
