    If you haven't yet ran into shaking grass, what's your thoughts of the overall concept of somewhat "rarer" Pokemon being found there?
     
    Where did you first encounter shaking grass?

    I think I encountered one randomly on Route 4.

    And what Pokemon did you find in it?

    A Audino.

    Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it?

    I accidentally ran into it.

    Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?

    I do prefer the more creepy feeling of the double battle song, so I do like that.

    Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise?

    I always try to check them for special pokemon.

    Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?

    No.

    Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones?

    I would've like to see it a way to get past gen pokemon after you get the National Pokedex.
     
    Where did you first encounter shaking grass?

    I can't remember really. o__o I think I was on route 3.

    And what Pokemon did you find in it?

    . . . You have to ask? ;-; Audino.

    Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it?

    Like the first answer, can't remember. But probably noticed it then walked towards it.

    Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?

    I mostly play with the sound off. ;-; But I've listened to it and it sounds awesome. :]

    Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise?

    Purposely for grinding, or when I'm somewhere like giant chasm I'll look for Mamoswine and Crobat.

    Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?

    Yup. Quite a bit of variety as well.

    Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones?

    Although they're easy to obtain I would like to of seen the elemental monkey evolutions.
     
    Where did you first encounter shaking grass?
    The Route after Accumula town

    And what Pokemon did you find in it?
    Audino

    Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it?
    I've noticed it

    Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?
    Yes I do

    Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise?
    Since I got all of the Pokemon released, I no longer do it unless if I am training my Pokemon

    Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?
    Yes

    Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones?
    We have enough Pokemon


    :t354:TG
     
    We should extend this discussion to all Phenomena (rippling water, swirling dust, and flying shadow). 'Cause the first one I saw wasn't grass, but rippling water outside of Striaton City.
     
    Where did you first encounter shaking grass?
    Route 3

    And what Pokemon did you find in it?
    Audino

    Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it?
    I was trying my Blitze I know that, I am not sure if it was inentional or by accident but I know it was the upper patch right by the three way from the cave, to the path by the day care, then the path down to Nacrene City.

    Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?
    I never really paid too much attention, so I really don't like it or dislike it.

    Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise?
    I still run in the shaking grass cause I know Audino has an high experience yield.

    Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?
    I have more of an issue with the rarity disparity of the ones you can get then the ones you can't.

    Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones?
    I think it's fun how it is. Just don't make it Audino appear almost ever time you have an encounter in the Shaking Grass.
     
    Where did you first encounter shaking grass?: The Dreamyard

    And what Pokemon did you find in it?: Audino.

    Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it?: I was curious and went into it.



    Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?: I like how it's more suspenseful and more special to the Pokemon.



    Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise?: I run into shaking grass out of curiosity of what'll ocme out next.



    Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?: I would've liked it if Pokemon other than Audino in Routes 1, 2 and 3 had other Pokemon too (like underleveled Herdier and Watchog)


    Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones?:The species in which the Pokemon can be found this way are fine, but I'd like to see Audino have a lower encounter rate. Running into them almost every single time in shaking grass is annoying.
     

    • Where did you first encounter shaking grass? Don't remember
    • And what Pokemon did you find in it? Don't remember exactly, but it was probably an Audino.
    • Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it? Latter.
    • Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme? I really don't care.
    • Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise? More Audino = More Exp, so yes.
    • Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass? I think only pokemon I can usually find there is Audino :3
    • Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones? Yes, namely PIKACHU for instance... and many others that weren't available in these games.
     
    •Where did you first encounter shaking grass? Route 3
    •And what Pokemon did you find in it? Audino. I remember cause I tried to catch it for the Pokedex and defeated it. Then I was like, "That's a whole lotta experience!"
    •Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it? Randomly.
    •Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme? My MP3 player was playing some awesome 80's tunes at the time so I never even noticed.
    •Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise? Only when I need Exp from Audino :P
    •Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass? Yeah, there's enough variety, just really poor encounter rates.
    •Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones? My old standbys that aren't in B/W (Persian, Flygon, Weezing) would've been nice.
     
    Where did you first encounter shaking grass?
    I'm pretty certain it was on route 3, I was messing around by the nursery. xD

    And what Pokemon did you find in it?
    Just a silly ol' Audino, thought I did catch it since at the time I thought it was pretty cool.

    Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it?

    Well, I saw it shaking and and walked towards it. I have accidentally walked into it before though. xD

    Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?

    Yeah, it certainly shows it's difference from the normal battles, since once you hear that music your looking into finding a more rarer Pokémon in the route.

    Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise?

    Yeah all the time, usually after I've completed most stuff in the game and I'm just traveling around n' stuff I try not to get into grass, but if I hear or see shacking grass I'll go straight in, since there is that chance of the 5% rare Pokémon. I do use it to hunt for Audino's for experience sometimes too.

    Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?

    Not really, too much Audino's if you ask me, and I wish those 5%mon's were easier to get. :P

    Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones?

    Heh, it would have been a cool idea to see some Chansey's post-game in west unova since Audino's seem like their counterparts if you ask me.
     
    Where did you first find the shaking grass
    Route 4 I think ( the route with the Daycare)

    And what pokemon find you find ?
    Audino which I put on to the GTS

    Did you come across the shaking grass accidently or walked towords it
    Saw it shaking as I pasted and when into it

    Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?
    Not really

    Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise?

    Yes when training up my pokemon to complete the Unova dex

    Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?

    not really

    Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones
    Pachirisu
     

    Outside Pinwheel forest, when I was training for Lenora.

    Audino.

    • Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it?
    I ran until the grass shook, then I walked up to it.

    • Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?
    Yes.

    I only run into shaking grass when I'm training a pokémon.

    • Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?
    You can find lots of fully evolved pokémon in the shaking grass (Metagross, Tyranitar, Tangrowth, Mamoswine, Stoutland, etc) as well as a bunch of unevolved pokémon, so the range is alright.

    I wouldn't mind encountering some trade evos, like Gengar, Scizor, etc.
     
    Where did you first encounter shaking grass?
    Too long to remember.

    And what Pokemon did you find in it?
    I avoided it. But it's usually Audino.

    Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it?
    Usually accidentally, as I don't want to go in shaking grass.

    Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?
    Um, I didn't really notice.

    Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise?
    Otherwise, I guess.

    Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?

    Um, sure, I guess.

    Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones?
    Nah, I don't really care. But more than just Audino, I should say.
     
    Where did you first encounter shaking grass?
    Pinwheel Forest

    And what Pokemon did you find in it?

    Audino, as I almost always find.

    Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it?
    I saw it and was intrigued by it, so I walked in it, beat the wild Audino, and was amazed at how much experience it gave me.

    Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?

    Yes, I think it's fitting to have different music for a different type of encounter.

    Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise?
    Yes, hoping to either find an Audino that I kill for experience, or a rare Pokemon.

    Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?
    Audino's encounter rate in shaking grass is too high. They should at least spread out the encounter ratio, such as 50% Audino, and then the others are spread among the other 50%.

    Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones?
    No. I love the fact that the main purpose is saving an evolutionary stone or time building up happiness. (i.e. Leavanny, Whimsicott, Crobat, Clefable, etc.) I think Emolga should have been a regular encounter, however, instead of shaking grass.
     
    Where did you first encounter shaking grass?

    I believe it was Route 3.

    And what Pokemon did you find in it?

    Audino. I was like, "IMMA CATCH IT" and then I did. Right after I saw another Audino then fainted it. And boy, was I happy with the EXP I got.

    Did you come across the shaking grass accidentally or noticed it shaking and walked towards it?

    I noticed it shaking and walked towards it.

    Do you like that it uses the double battle / Victory Road battle music instead of the normal battle theme?

    When the special music came on, I was like "oh; this has gotta be special." And I guess it was. It's pretty cool, and I like the idea. Except for when I was in Victory Road; I kept thinking "OMG AUDINOS?"

    Do you still run into shaking grass, purposely or otherwise?

    Both ways. 6_9

    Do you think that there is a large enough range of Pokemon that appear in the shaking grass?

    I normally run into Audinos; but yes, I think it's a nice range.

    Would've you liked to see other Pokemon? If so, which ones?

    I'd like to have seen previous generation Pokemon. Except make it a lot harder to find shaking patches. Even if you can get previous gen pokemon from Dream World, I'd still like to find them in-game BEFORE you beat the Elite 4.
