I need advice on what the best level to evolve Cottonnee would be :P I don't really care about the last move (Solarbeam). I just want a moveset that isn't horrible. I suppose I could try to get my hands on some TMs if needed.

Right now i'm thinking of evolving it at lv 26 when it learns giga drain. then teach it energy ball, shadow ball an u-turn. :/

If i was you, for Cottonee I'd train it to 37, if possible. For the move Cotton Guard.

But with Whimsicott,
- Energy Ball
-Shadow Ball would cool for it, I'd do it ha
-Cotton Guard/Light Screen For defense
-Anything you want, Maybe Hurricane at 46?
if there's an item that helps accuracy it'd be perfect for hurricane

Hope that helps:)

I have a question about catching the original pokemon... (Gen. I -IV)

Okay some from what I have read in the past is that you can catch some of the original after the elite four, but the only thing I have been hearing about is the you can you catch in the white forest.
I'm a confused on this matter so forgive my ignorance; but my questions are:

1) Can you catch some of or a good bit of the Gen. I-IV Pokemon in both Black and White (excluding the White forest)

2) And, if so, what is the list of the ones you can catch (excluding white forest as well)

Disclaimer: I have tried searching this online, however the keywords never come up with the correct answer. Thank you :)

I believe a lot can be found through swarms, but as for others (if there are any), I'm not sure, which is why I merged it here for other responses.

Several others can be caught on routes beyond what you can access during the original game (think the Fight Area in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum) and many others can also be caught fishing. Most routes after 11 will hold some old Pokemon, I believe.

There will be several more obtainable through the Dream World when that launches, too.

After you've beaten B/W and get the national dex, since you are able to migrate other region pokemon from DPPt/HGSS, after they are on either B/W can you trade other region's pokemon to a B/W game without the national dex?

Sorry if this is confusing haha.. :P

Thank you! I read that page, but I don't quite understand how a swarm works. Could you explain? And at what point in the game would you be able to do this? Thanks :)

A swarm will happen each day after you get the National Pokedex by beating the Elite Four/first storyline.

Each day, you check gate houses and they'll tell you what routes the swarms are on. You go to those routes and the swarming Pokemon will be added to the normal variety of Pokemon found there (usually in high quantities, hence swarming).

So far, I have my fifth Gym Badge and I'm feeling pretty good about the Pokemon White.

But ONE thing is bugging me. Evoloution stones.

I know I can't transfer any from my Gen. 5 games. I'm not sure if I can get them in White Forest, but I know I can in Black City ( I'm going to buy Black soon)

Using Entralink, Can I keep iuncreasing the population of my forest/city with just my Pokemon White and Black version or will I need to interact with diferent people to get different residents?

They're really, really, really easy to find - I've found loads everywhere, another thing you can do is use the Dowsing machine, I used it and found a leaf stone yesterday.

Serebii has a page on where to find most items so just take a look;
http://www.serebii.net/itemdex/

If you want to evolve one of the monkeys, there is a man in the first port of castelia city that will ask you which one you want to evolve and give you the stone. (it doesn't have to be for the monkeys though)

To save me making a new thread, I'll ask here (Hopefully I got it right)

I just received the Master Ball and am about to embark on Victory Road *Gulp* - I was considering saving it for when I eventually face Zekrom, but I also thought about the other legendaries such as Victini (When I get my Wi-Fi working).

What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

Save your Masterball, Victini is ridiculously easy to catch. I have it in a plain ol' Pokeball.

Victini is only level fifteen, if you have a level 10-20 pokemon when you get it, and a pokeball, its easy to catch. I caught it with one pokeball.
For Zekrom, maybe. I kept the Masterball for someone else, I caught Zekrom with an ultra ball. Zekrom has a 45 Catch rate, so just use it for somebody like Reshiram, Metagross, Thundurus or whatever.

Hope I helped xx

Is there any Pokemon in Gen 5 that can learn Surf, Fly, Waterfall and Dive?

Ducklett and its evolution can get all but Waterfall. Don't think there's a new Pokemon that gets all of them.

You can get Darumaka on Route 4.

Seems this question was missed.

And yes you can. Plenty of others have done that, so there's no reason why you can't.

I accidentaly knocked out Tornadus while attempting to catch it. Do the roaming pokemon in BW regenerate after you beat the elite four like in DPPt, or is he gone for good? I couldn't find anything on google

I asked this before but no one's responded, am I going to miss anything important before my game ships on the 28th?

No sir, you will not. :3
There is only one current event out for Pokemon Black and White, and it ends on the 10th of April. (The Liberty pass used to get Victini)
