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

[Dispiacere]

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.

[Hiroshi Sotomura]

To clarify, so long as you're always outside or inside, the season doesn't change. So simply change between an outside area to an inside (go in a building) or the other way around and the season changes.

Is it appropriate for me asking about Dsi region lock here?

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

When exactly is it a good time to transfer the Dog Trio and Celebi from Gamestop for the Zorua and Zoroark event in game?

Okay then. Can anyone please tell me about this Dsi Enhanced region lock?

[Griffinbane]

Does anyone know of a pair of really good HM slaves? I'm thinking Skarmory and Bibarel, B/W version. (Cuz lyk...this spreading out HMs between entire party is gettin' annoyin'.)

[Elite Four Lucian]

How do we Trade and Battle wirelessly on Black and White? the only way I see to do it is with IR...

[rstevenson1976]

I ordered pokemon black on a website that I have a credit account on, I'll get it shipped on the 28th, is there anything I'm going to regret not getting to do or lose sleep over?

[Elite Four Lucian]

I dunno yet, It doesn't seem like your able to battle or trade wirelessly...

Any time. Just activate the Relocator - see the FAQ for more info.

If you have the English games, it doesn't concern you. If you're curious though, you can read the FAQ about it.

If you need Fly, give someone Fly. The only mandatory HM is Cut, and you only need it once.

Beat the first gym and complete the "Dream Mist" quest by going to the topmost house in the east of Straiton City. You will then receive the Pal Pad and be able to use Wi-Fi. I'm not completely sure, but isn't Wireless enabled after you get the Pokédex? The Union Room is the leftmost door at the 2nd floor.

Whenever you want, but make sure NOT to use the Poketransfer, you HAVE to use Relocator or you're screwed, since you can't re-transfer your Pokemon.

Here's the details.

Before you link to a user-created, potentially factually-inaccurate wiki, I should say that I don't believe that's true. I've transferred a Suicune, Entei and Raikou via the PokéShifter in the Japanese games and it certainly didn't jeopardise my ability to find Zoroark.

[Rawrinism]

erm, how do you encounter shaking grass?
I know what it does but how do you find them?
'Cause I'm searching for Audinos to grind on.

[Hiroshi Sotomura]

The patches of grass occur occasionally when you're wandering around in a route. You'll hear them rustle if they're nearby.

[Astinus]

Finding rustling grass, or any of the other special tiles, is random. So you're just going to have to be patient and keep searching. So far, there's no secret to finding the rustling grass (except for having your first Badge).

Cripes, I was beaten horribly.

To amend to this, is there anything visible that shows up? I mean, do you just hear the grass rustle or is there a visible sign as well? I've already ran into an Audino but I really wasn't paying attention at all and so I didn't see anything. :<

Yes. You can physically see the grass shake. It can also happen in caves via little dust clouds, on the water as bubbles, or on bridges as grey dots.

[Astinus]

The grass actually looks like its rustling. Like half of it is standing up and dancing around. It is noticeable if you look for it, so you don't need to listen for the noise. Just watch the grass for any tiles that seem to "dance". I find it to be easily seen.

Yikes, sorry about that, but I could have sworn I also heard that on Serebii, which is a bit more credible than a Wiki.

I don't know any percentage for the odds, but i seem to be able to find atleast one everytime, aslong as i wait long enough.
