In Black and White, there are many new types of trainers. Including Doctors and Nurses. These helpful people heal your Pokemon after beating them in a battle. They work like Mini-Pokemon Centers. After beating them, you can talk to them as many times as you want and they will heal your team. Their appearance allowed longer Caves and Routes, since you don't have to stop at a Pokemon Center than continue on that same route. They appear in many places, like right before Pinwheel Forest, Chargestone Cave, and Victory Road.

What do you think about Doctors and Nurses?
Do you feel they were unneeded?

Considering how big some of the areas in BW are (Twist Mountain is a good example), I was really happy to see the Doctors and Nurses in the game. They're a great asset in places like Twist Mountain where you'll probably end up wandering around for 2 hours until you explore the whole thing and then go looking for the exit.

There will be nurses in big areas like twist mountain but not sure if it will be in victory road.
There is one in Victory Road. I've already gone through there.

lol omg I was planning on making this after the other one but then I was like "nah too much effort". XD

I love them, they make playing the game sooo much easier. Especially near Pinwheel where it's best to train there early on, so it was a great placement of a nurse rather than running all the way back to Nacrene.

I really like them, they just make the game that little bit more accessible. It's never been enjoyable having to run back to the Pokemon Centre every 5 minutes.

Does anyone else agree though that with Poison not hurting Pokemon out-of-battle, and with healers dotted around in the middle of longer routes, it'll be much easier to Nuzlocke Black and White?

I think it's about time we have Out-Of-Center healing. When I was training before the E4, I did it right next to the doctor and it saved me SO much time. Anyone who thinks these doctors are bad hate saving time. And people who hate saving time are sadists.

I really like the Doctors and Nurses. They are very nice and very helpful! I really like using them to heal while I am exploring and training.
Yeah, and even if my pokemon aren't hurt I like to heal anyway to replenish my moves. Soo useful. Though I wonder what they are randomly doing out in their uniform and everything XD Weird.

I loved the doctors and nurses! They helped me heaps throughout the game. Especially Victory Road and Pinwheel forest one. It was a bit annoying running back and forth while going through Pinwheel forest, but still thankful for her. The victory road one helped me when I was training up my Pokemon for the league :)

I really like them. I honestly think that this game (at least at the beginning) was a lot more difficult than previous generations and the doctors and nurses came in so handy when you're in the middle of somewhere. Currently training in Victory Road to battle the E4, and loving the wee doctor in here :)

If you won't think that's it's kinda illogical that they can heal pokemon outta nothing it's very great feature that should've been implemented even in previous generations. =)

I think they're a good idea, in the initial stages of the games where you can't just randomly fly to a pokecentre to heal up, it was very welcome to come across these nurses and doctors.

The main part I liked about them though was that you had to beat them before they'd heal your pokemon for you.
