5th Gen Quick Questions

Hi, I really need to know the following:

I've seen people using a 3th generation Pokémon in B/W before they even finished it!

Is it possible to:

Import a Pokémon from my finished HG/Platinum game to B/W? If no, is it possible to import a Pokémon from someones finished B/W game to my B/W game via Wifi and friendcodes?

Thank you! :D

There's no limitation among trading National Dex Pokémon over to your B/W, even if you didn't beat the main story. You can't do anything like transfer your own Pokémon over until you did defeat the Elite Four, but at least you can trade with a friend that already did defeat the Elite Four and have access to 3rd Generation Pokémon.

However, you can transfer the Event Legendary Dogs and Celebii over using the Relocator. There's a clown in Castelia City inside an office where you'll be asked for a password. The two phrases are "EVERYBODY HAPPY" and "SIMPLE CONNECTION". You'll then be able to send over the Event Legendary Dogs and Celebii for the Zoroark/Zorua event.

Also, the Dream World is a perfect place to get National Dex Pokémon without needing to beat the main story.

EDIT: Hurrah! We broke 2000 posts in here. :)
 
Two questions:

1) If I wanted a Seismitoad with the Poison Touch ability, does he need to know Hydration as a Tympole?

2) Is EV training for a level 100 only possible for one that hasn't had their EVs maxed? I don't want to EV train to worry about having its EVs changed later on.

1. That's correct. If it know Swift Swim, it will keep it all the way through.

2. Right, EVs don't change once they're maxed.
 
How do you obtain a Light Orb in B/W? I think you can in the dream world, but how/where? :(

you get it in the museum after the relic castle in black



::EDIT::
you did mean the resherim stone right?
 
BBladem83 said:
No :( I mean the Light Orb, the item that raises Pikachu's Sp. Atk and is the key to getting Pikachu Volt Tackle.

doh! forgot about that, either the dream world or someone with a cheating device would probably be your only chance :(

Indeed... Though it doesn't seem like you can get the Light Ball in the Dream World yet, since there's no Pikachu nor Light Ball released at this time. :/

Unfortunate. I would have really thought that the Treasure Hunter in Route 13 would be able to give you a Light Ball, but sadly, he doesn't.

If you're using the Light Ball to get a Pichu with Volt Tackle, you might as well do all the stuff in a Gen IV game and then transfer the baby over. Otherwise, if it's for making a pumped up Pikachu, then I guess you're out of luck legitimately for the moment. :(

Thanks!, But I don't understand this part. What's the difference between transferring your own Pokémon (not possible) and trading with a friend (possible)? Is it some new feature in gen 5 or something?

Sorry about the spam message above here. It was a test message and I thought it didn't post because the site server was slow, else I would've edited it with the message I posted just now.

When I say transferring your own Pokémon, I mean the whole migration/import-your-past-gen-Pokémon thing. xD The only reason why you're unable to do it right now is because, well, you haven't completed the main story yet, so you're unable to get to the PokéTransfer Lab since the route it's on is right now inaccessible to you.

You can simply get around this if you have a friend that did go through the main story, since that friend will be able to access the PokéTransfer Lab, migrate your Pokémon for you, and then trade it over to your game without any limitations.

Do the EV stats actually show up at any point, or do they remain hidden?

EV stats are never visible in-game. I believe using a cheat device a la Action Replay you're actually able to see these values, but I've only read such a thing and have not seen visual evidence.

You can still find out if your EV stats are maxed out though by talking to a woman in Opelucid City.

Hopefully you have kept tally of all the Pokémon you battled with that fellow.

Questions like these belong in Quick Questions, which is what this has been merged to, incase anyone has further input.

Not really sure how many masterballs you have, since it sounds like you've got many, but my best suggestion is to use masterballs on roamers like Thundurus, cause they're time consuming and annoying. :(

I haven't started EV training yet, need to make sure I don't make any mistakes :P

Does the lady tell me in which stat it's maxed or just if I've reached the total max?

I'll probably count the EV's in the process though.

The lady tells you when you've reached the total max.
