5th Gen The official Unova Trainers' School

[Alternative]

Actually no, I lied. This is not a school, but just wondering if you've learnt anything through the Unova region. Whether it's that Poison is dangerous, or that there are other things that you've learnt because of just playing through this game. So tell me.

What have you learnt from playing Pokémon Black/White?

Well, I learnt from playing this, that Rapid Spin doesn't just get rid of Spikes and Stealth Rock and stuff, but it also get's rid of those pesky Leech Seeds that you just happen to run into because of all those Cottonee and Petilil. Also that a lot of Pokemon learn those hard hitting moves much earlier than they usually do, like Tympole learning Bubblebeam at level 13 or something.

I learned that Bug Pokemon are strong against Psychic Pokemon. I never knew that before.

 

[DayDreamer]

I learnt that sleeping pokemon can dodge attacks lol.

I learned that there are a lot of different view points, and each city has a different feel to it. Lol Pokemon was way too pseudo-philosophical this time around. Isn't that what every NPC keeps telling you? "Maybe Team Plasma is right/no way I would be sad without my Pokemon!"

But yeah I learned that you really need a good electric quite a bit in the game. Which I have yet to find. :/ Just gonna send over my Luxray.

I learned that Shuckle can be a beast when it switches its attack and defense stats. :/ Never knew such a move existed!

Actually, I didn't know bug was good on dark. I dooon't like that.

I didn't know the Pokedex was so confusing sometimes. -..-

 

[fire woven]

Well I learned that fighting has a place on my team, as a counter for dark type. The E4 taught me that when my Zorark was annihlated by something, I forget what it even was.

Oh and that regions can have diagonal roads.

 

[Skapocalypse]

I learned that pokemon with a sizable afro can really pack a punch!

What a d-bag.
