Pokestick, good times. July 22nd, 2012 1:57 PM

> Don't know anything about the plot or unexpected trainer battles
> Plan entire team and movesets in advance
> Never use any Pokémon I've used before
> Trade Pokémon with egg moves from Black for maximum pwnage
> Go through everything blind, without any walkthroughs (if possible)
> Have six-on-six battle with mate with our in-game teams after beating the game (keeping the teams secret to one another)
> Pwn his ass

> Have a flipping good time.

I will just go through it normally, but i'll choose snivy this time(in black and white i got tepig/oshawott)

Nick July 25th, 2012 7:57 AM

I'm going to play it the old fashioned way!

Golurks Were Meant to Fly July 25th, 2012 8:55 AM

I may play it normally, but I may do a nuzlocke (since I've been having a ton of fun with those)

Jellicent♀ July 25th, 2012 10:55 AM

I'm having a difficult time with this. I have no clue how I'm going to go through the game. I don't know if I want to do a monotype run with Water, Nuzlocke it, or what, but I'm probably going to go through like a Torchic with my head cut off catching Pokemon and boxing them and training them until I finally end up at the Elite Four and can no longer trade in Pokemon from the box. Definitely going to try and see all the features and savor each one while I can, though.

As spontaneously as I can.
Seriously, I've had it with all the spoilers, and the team planning. I'll just randomly pick my starter and catch Pokemon as I go along.

NiGHtsBeta09 July 25th, 2012 5:45 PM

I love the idea of the cards, that's neat! ^^" As for me, I usually go in with a pre-planned team of sorts, maybe changing it along the way if I feel like it. I will do different runs later, but not yet, until I've explored the entire game normally. :P

I'm actually doing a Let's Play on YouTube. My planned team is:

Samurott, Lucario, Arcanine, Leafeon, Zoroark and Altaria

Just over two months now until it's released internationally, doesn't seem long ago that we were just finding out about it back in February! I'm sure I'll be more cautious with this game considering I haven't imported from Japan so I'll be more reluctant to check everything out before progressing.

Colress July 26th, 2012 11:32 AM

Going to breed some super Pokemon for my team.

I won't trade anything else over to that game other than event Pokemon and my TRU Regigigas from a couple years ago.

Kevin July 26th, 2012 7:22 PM

I'm just gonna play it easy and normal. I do have a pre planned team though, haha.

Melinda July 28th, 2012 4:00 PM

All my first runs are as fast as I can possibly go. See very little during the main story and do everything afterwards. If I restart later I usually take an excruciatingly long time to complete the main story line.

ANinyMouse July 28th, 2012 9:02 PM

It's not often that I ditch my starter Pokemon, but if I get White 2, I fully plan to.

My final team's gonna look like so:

I can't stand not planning out my team since I hate having glaring, unforeseen weaknesses to one type or the other (like 3-4 weak to Fire or Ground, bleah).

tajaros July 29th, 2012 2:25 AM

I'll try and be my best and don't lose to anyone! xD

And also I wan't to use the soft-reset method for me to catch a Shiny Black Kyurem! xD :)

Kima July 29th, 2012 3:27 AM

I'll try to do a proper playthrough, and actually look at the dialogue and follow the storyline. I'll probably try to use Pokémon I've never used before/that much.

AeonsShadow July 29th, 2012 10:14 PM

My plan is to run through the game with Nuzlocke activated, along with the fact that no one will "survive" poisoning. That was something that made it so hard in the beginning. I'll also add rules to Nuzlocke as I delve further in. No EV training, no over leveling, so on and so forth.

yea that what I'll do too :)

atmmachine11 July 30th, 2012 10:48 AM

That is a really cool way of playing :3, as for me...I honestly do not know what team I will choose, but I do know I will be doing a normal run.

PkmnTrainerElio July 31st, 2012 4:56 AM

I'm gonna trade Sniny and Oshawott over from Black and have all three starters.

Devildog August 2nd, 2012 1:17 AM

I will go through differently than all my other games seeing how i dont need to reset and trade to get all starters since we already got them :)
I will go throught the game slower as for my team i have no clue cause i dont want to go through it with the starters like usually cause i already have them all on Black :/

Pingouin_7 August 2nd, 2012 2:37 AM

I went through the game "normally".

MachoPony August 2nd, 2012 6:34 AM

I have planned a Good balanced team mainly for PWT and such however after i Beat the game with said team i may Nuzelocke CHallenge mode cuz im a Crazy ass.

SonicBlazePlatinum August 2nd, 2012 5:05 PM

I plan on starting with Tepig again, but since Blitzle and Pansage are far in the story I plan on getting Mareep, since I did use a Mareep in Heart Gold and Soul Silver, and Koffing because I only used a Poison Pokemon like Nidoran (m) once on Fire Red. I also plan on playing for six days to get to the Pokemon League and the day after that the post-game.

Day 1: To Castelia's gym - 3 badges
Day 2: To Relic Path (northern part) exploring - 5 badges
Day 3: Mistralton gym with Route 7 and Celestial Tower visited - 6 badges
Day 4: East Unova
Day 5: Battling Ghetsis - 8 badges
Day 6: Pokemon League - Hall of Fame
Day 7: Post-Game

For the Post-Game events I'll go with the revisiting of Plasma Frigate and Nuvema Town, then Iccirus and Twist Mountain, then Route 15 since that's how the Pokemon are ordered on the Pokedex. Clay Road and other stuff after I go to all those places.

Queen August 2nd, 2012 10:26 PM

I would play like a normal human being :)
Just run through the game, explore, then collect every Pokemon.

Patchy August 5th, 2012 4:50 AM

I've never done the Nuzlocke thing, I don't see the fun at all, it'd be so tedious. Usually I just have one save file, ever.

For B2W2 I plan to breed eggs of the 6 Pokemon I want, probably ditch the starter in favour of another region's starter (and making sure that my rival's starter is weak to it!), then when the eggs hatch with my B2 ID number I might just give each one a run through the BW Elite 4 to level it up...I like to keep it easy for myself.
