5th Gen What is the most challenging aspect of B/W for you?

[Ho-Oh]

You're in a brand new world, you know nobody. The battles are tough, everything you do seems complicated and your friends are stronger than you. Which is the most challenging? Is it something else, such as understanding the actual storyline? Have you actually paused for a second and had to really think hard about something?

And no, just saying understanding Japanese doesn't count. :(

 

[mervyn797]

To be honest, I found getting through Huin City the most challenging job. Not to mention the gym battle in there, and that honey bee maze. :(

 

[Nick]

Understanding Japanese!

So far the hardest thing I've had to do was choose a name, lmao. :(

I spent 30 minutes on the name screen trying to figure out what name name was in Japanese with romanji and traditional and all that. To no avail, I gave up and picked a bunch of random characters that I thought looked cool.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Lol at Pat.

Um....I only got 10 minutes of experience, but I'll say choosing your Pokemon. Isshu's like Kanto, except better. All the Pokemon look awesome to at least someone.

And the second hardest part is not laughing at Bel.

 

[MrGriszell]

To me it seams that leveling up takes a bit longer

 

[solarowl]

I can't level up!??
Leveling up and the first pokemon gym maze. ( I borrowed my friends white for a bit.)

 

[MrGriszell]

Its funny i thought it would be the japanese part, but im getting thru it fine, its not different than any other pokemon game. And pokebeach did a great job with the walk thru. Im actually gonna import this game now.

 

[Sabi96]

The most difficult was ordering the game

Just Joking. I really didn't understand Aloe's gym. I had to defeat all the trainers , or just ask oround, or read the books. I still don;t know, but i'm at the fourth gym now

 

[Astinus]

And I'm so slow the "understanding Japanese" would only get me a "fail".

So I'm going to say the difficultly of grinding in this game. I love grinding. I really do, but something seems "off" in B/W. Like the experience is lower than what is to be expected from defeating enemies at the level I'm fighting. It just makes leveling up and grinding more like work to me, and that in turn makes the game itself challenging because I can't match my opponents' levels.

 

[Planetes.]

barring japanese, I'd have to say the continous "Nuzlocke BS" I was weakening a Shimama-CRITICAL, I was looking for Dangoro in a cave-DERP BAT. Unless I can find a good Pokemon soon, I might go all the way through the game up to where Kojofuu lives with just Dez the Yanappu and Romo the Pokabu.

 

[Arc]

Since, I know few basic words in Japanese. I can proceed a bit easier than others. But, the hardest aspect is knowing what Pokemon learn what moves, and evolve at what level! D:

 

[Maxite]

Waiting for it to arrive is the most challenging aspect of it right now. Then it'll be understanding the Japanese. Then... well I'll update you all on that when I finally have the game in my hands.

 

[TheAppleFreak]

Japanese D:

Probably figuring out what moves I got, what they do, and items.

 

[JP]

Japanese D:

Probably figuring out what moves I got, what they do, and items.

If not understanding Japanese, it'd be this as well haha.

 

[Sydian]

Japanese. Not knowing what's around the corner, where to go, ANY POKEMON NAMES WHATSOEVER, and not knowing gym leader levels. Oh. My. Gosh. Got my ass kicked.

Spoiler:

So far the Pokemon I've seen, as named by me, are:
Otter, Piggy, Snakey, Puppy, Ecstasy Squirrel, Sexy Cat, Blue Monkey lolol

 

[yaminokaitou]

Probably understanding the moves. I can read Japanese and with a dictionary I can understand the plot to some extent, but I don't know what all the moves are in Japanese. Most of the time I look at the move details and just see if it does damage and what its element is and whatnot.

 

[austy14]

Well I'd call the entire thing hard. Everything's brand new, and in Japanese. But hardest thing so far is in general NO IDEA WHERE TO GO. I keep getting lost D:

 

[●•ΛΣЯӨЩ•●]

Searching for a Fire Stone was pretty hard...

 

[SKYNET]

now i beat elite 4 and N, im stuck agian, waiting for help.

 

[Noukon]

Trying to understand the japanese. =P

Though the gist is simple enough, i just have some issues.
