    How do you use the Poke Transfer?
    I didn't think the Gen IV games had B/W data from it to be transferred to.

    Can you use AR with English B/W ? I understand there was a problem of some sort with the Jap version of it with an AR.

    Sadly no \: I've tried ;; But Codejunkies has released a new Ar Dsi that has Black and White codes on, so hopefully those ones may work, otherwise it's pretty pointless to release a device that has codes that won't work.

    Evolve or wait?

    Is it better to evolve a pokemon straight away or wait a bit before you let it evolve? you used to only be able to learn certain moves if you didnt evolve it, dunno if thats still the case...

    Head over to Bulbapedia and check out the Pokemon you are wondering about. Towards the bottom of the page, there is a list of moves the Pokemon learns and what level, compare it to the list on the evolved form to deiced if you should or not. It all boils down to personal preference.

    Well they don't, but that has nothing to do with it since it's not like you're sending anything from BW to a gen IV game. It's just an upgraded migration really, but unlike migration, you can't have Pokemon holding items when you send them over to BW. You can read more about it here.

    Now, when using the Relocator, does my shiny beast have to be in my party, my PC, or does it really matter? And it does let me pick what I want to transfer, right?

    That would depend on who you're getting them from. A lot of mail and shipping service doesn't run on Sunday, so you either got it early yesterday or get it tomorrow if you ordered online.

    I haven't heard of a store lacking the games (though the local Walmart refuses to sell until Tuesday or were stating that last week).

    • You will get Pal Pad from Amanita after you completed Dream Mist quest. Then you can have access to wifi trading, if it is wireless you may be able to do it after you beat Striation Gym.

    Exactly how rare is the shaking grass supposed to be, cause I can't seem to encounter it that much at all.

    Changing seasons??

    So me being the smart person that I am, thought for a couple hours that march was the 5th month. I was surprised when I started my game and it was spring, but I didn't even think i got the date wrong til I played for a while. I changed the date to the proper time(i want to play 100% fairly, and that means waiting for the seasons to change) but when I started the game up I still was greated with "Spring". why isn't it changing season?

    **Went into a building, thanks**

    • A traded pokemon won't have different stats than if it weren't traded once it has all 510 evs (especially if it's ev trained). However because of the boost in expierience after battles it requires fewer battles to level up, so it might gain its evs across more levels. That difference would be minimal and it will end up with the same stats.

    To make a pokemon as strong as possible it needs to have the right nature and max ivs the right stats and a good ev distribution.

    Merged with simple questions. Wait either 24 hours or go inside a building (forgot which one) and it should change. Unless it's something else completely.

    I would think so. As long as it's a relatively simple question and pertains to Pokemon Black or White, you should be fine.
