Why not go to Route 4 and find out? ;)

Yeah, you can get into Route 4 but as PlatinumDude stated, a worker will be blocking your way to get to the Desert Resort.

You can definitely go to Route 4, I know that. I'm also fairly certain that you can go to the Desert Resort, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember I caught a Darumaka so I could beat Burgh, and I think I cought him in the Desert Resort because they were higher levels. However, I'm not entirely sure, but I'd bet some PokéDollars on it (that you can access the desert resort).

You cannot proceed past Route 4, though.

Does the Badly Poisoned status condition count toward the power boost for Venoshock?

You only get the double power boost if your Pokémon is poisoned, so yes indeed it does.

I have a (legit tested and confirmed) Jirachi. When I'm using a passpower or have my c-gear on, I can't heal it during battle and its said that it's fainted once even though it had one hit point left. Jirachi's battle sprite was gone, but I couldn't switch Pokemon or attack. This has happened twice now and I had to soft reset. I don't use any cheating devices or hacked Pokemon. Ever. What is going on?

Well, you can't get both in one game. You would be able to catch one depending on your game, and then get the other in a trade.

But if you have both, yes! You can go to the Abundant Shrine and Landorus will appear. You'll then be able to catch him as well. :)

You can only obtain DW Bronzong from the actual DreamWorld, there is no way to breed it.

Thundurus and Tornadus are roaming Pokémon. Thundurus is exclusive to Pokémon White, and Tornadus is only found in Pokémon Black. Roaming Pokémon are a type of legendary Pokémon that, instead of remaining in one place, run around the region they appear in, changing routes every time you do.
This is similar to Mesprit in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum; and Lati@s in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald.

They can be obtained at level 40. After obtaining the Legend Badge, which is the 8th Gym Badge, talk to the woman behind the desk at the gate at route 10. Then travel to Route 7, where another women will tell you about a storm, and after that, you will be able to catch yours. You will need to trade for the other one.

Their catch rates are 3, which is the most difficult to catch. According to Bulbapedia, this is 0.4%. Since Tornadus and Thundurus attempt to flee each battle, I recommend that you carry around a Pokémon that knows Mean Look so that it will be easier for you.

After you get the National Pokedex, and once you have both Tornadus and Thundurus in your party (with one of them being caught in your game), head to the Abundant Shrine on Route 14. Click on the shrine, and as long as you have Tornadus and Thundurus in your party, Landorus will fly down and engage you.

Landorus is level 70 when you encounter it and has a low catch rate, so come prepared with high level pokemon and a lot of pokeballs.

When doing a triple battle, which position in your party goes to the middle of the three Pokemon?

I'm more or less certain that it's the second one. 1st one will be on the left, 3rd on the right. :)

Does anyone know anything about how to reduce EV's on Pokemon White? I heard you can't find the berries anywhere, so I was wondering how everyone else reduces EV's on their Pokemon in 5th Gen. If you use a Action Replay code, can you please share it with me? I want to EV train my Crustle, but I need to reduce his EV's first. Thanks guys!! :D

Action Replay codes cannot be shared here, so the next best thing is using the Dream World. Within the areas you'll be able to find berries that can reduce EVs. There's a guide to them here. :)

If you aren't sure how to use the Dream World, check out this post.

I'm having a problem training my pokemon and I'm not sure why. For some reason they don't collect exp. as fast as they should, even with a Lucky Egg. I have a Joltik, a Roselia, a Pidgeot, and a Deino with this problem. No matter what level the pokemon is they barely seem to be able to level up or even get extra points even while holding the Lucky Egg.

For example, I was on the Marvelous Bridge and ran into a shadow with a Swanna in it. My pokemon aren't up that high a level, just in their twenties, and this Swanna was level fifty, twenty-five levels higher than my pokemon. My Joltik managed to beat it and only went up one level plus half the bar (this being without the Lucky Egg) and the pokemon that had Exp. Shares didn't even level up at all!

I can understand the difficulty with a Deino, but Roselia? Pidgeot? Joltik? It can't be!

So I have to ask, is this normal, am I doing something wrong, or is there something up here?

Thank you.

it's because game freak made the game so we all have to work harder grinding our pokemon when battling against wild pokemon so after a while the exp will go lower

for example in HG/SS when we battled pokemon on the first few routes we would always get around 3 to 4 exp per pokemon even if our pokemon were like 40 50 but now in 5th gen if we do the same say on route on battling lillipups and patrats if you begin the game you while get good exp but the higher your pokemon are the lower the exp becomes and eventually will reach 1 exp per pokemon on the route (route 1) and will do this for all your high level pokemon

game freak just want use to work more to make our pokemon stronger (i guess its a way to make the game a lil more difficult)

[Kiklion]

I know they did this, but this isn't the first team I've had. It's the third maybe, and all of the pokemon leveled up much faster than this. With my other teams I could battle pokemon around the same level and still get a reasonable amount of extra points, for these guys pokemon thirteen levels higher or so make it look like I've been knocking out Patrats in Accumula.

Well the Exp Share would have halved the experience from the Swanna, and Swanna doesn't give out much exp anyway. Go to the shaking grass and battle Audino, they give out one of the biggest amounts of exp in the game.

[Kiklion]

I have and it's the same thing. =/ I didn't even get a quarter of exp. Maybe I should just keep battling higher level pokemon. Even if there is a problem it's most likely not fixable.

Thanks for the help, though.

This might have been answered before, however, is there a reason why GameFreak did not implement the "Pokemon following the trainer" like they did in HG/SS?

There is no specific reason on why GF has removed the feature, but I'm guessing it was to implement the newer features the game has now, or perhaps they plan to include it in later games. It may have just been an HGSS exclusive too. :( Either way, it's unfortunate that they decided not to bring it back for whatever reason.

I was training my Zweilous until I realised it had the Impish Nature (which increases Def and decreases Spec Atk).
Knowing that Hydreigon is a Spec Atk user, should I ditch my Zweilous?

It's up to you. Its attack stat isn't that bad & outrage/crunch are pretty good attacks tbh with STAB and all, so you could train in attack. However, you could just ev train in spA anyway, and while you'll be weaker than other Hydreigon you'll still be pretty strong with that base spA stat. :x

Moving to Quick Questions anyway, which is what you should use next time, in case anyone else has anything to add!
