It looks less fugly on an actual DS because the 3DS isn't displaying it at a native resolution, so it stretches/interpolates the screens. It's less obvious on games that use 3D rendering but for games that rely on 2D graphics a lot (especially with dithered textures, e.g. G4 and 5 Pokemon) you will definitely notice the stretching.

I finally sorted my Black 2 pokemon into boxes for transfering. Now I just have to wait 3000 years.

Did you know you can use a photo of anything as your profile icon in Pokemon? I totally got the idea of using my dick.

Edit: Actually I'm not entirely sure if the image will show up in other people's games. I know Toshabi has a screenshot as his profile image, but that's from in the game. Can someone check if it actually works?

 

[Zraxi]

Nooo, don't do a dick pic. That's why we can't use swapnote anymore :C
Right as soon as I got all the stationery, they shut it down

No, that's not why they took it out of Swapnote.

 

[Zraxi]

No, that's not why they took it out of Swapnote.

I thought they said it was because children were adding people from the internet and were receiving inappropriate images

Freaking perverts.

Discount coupon is now available in pokemon global link until march 3. It's disappointing tho since it's a one time use item only. 50% off on any boutique.

Edit: I wonder when the attractions in the pokemilage club will be available in North America. I wanna play that. I saw some of the rewards.. they have dusk stones and dawn stones.

That 200BP Ability Capsule being a one-time use item is also a major disappoint.

Nope. I don't exactly have all the details myself, but what I heard was way more serious business than that. Like kids-arranging-meets-with-adults-who-turn-out-to-be-child-predators serious.

The balloon popping minigame is available, I was playing it this morning. It's actually pretty frustrating since the game doesn't tell you how to score points (the game uses a point system for the prize you get). According to Serebii, smaller and faster balloons score the most points, but I experimented quite a bit and had a hard time finding any sort of consistency. I'm gonna wait until there's a proper guide of it before trying it again.

just tried it right now.. the point system is weird. O.O

 

[BRN]

Can someone link me to the Link?

http://www.pokemon-gl.com/ Here ya go.

http://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/ This is more direct, actually.

 

[Harbinger]

So playing Black 2 i came across this avenue thing i have to manage, and i had to type in two words or phrases which apparantly other people see. Managed to get away with FukNuggT and AssTrufL.

 

[yell0w_f0x]

The balloon pooping scoring is still weird. But it's good that I can play from my phone. I was thinking I might need to use a computer just to use the global link.

 

[BRN]

I got significantly higher scores when I chose to pop:

* faster moving balloons,
* all 10 of the same type,
* near the middle of the balloon

Can't say for sure whether it mattered, but there was certainly consistently higher scores when I did.

 

[SirRob]

Yeah, I figure there's more to it than what Serebii says.

You know, I've been facing more girl players in ranked battles than guys. I didn't know there was such a large amount of female play... they're all guys aren't they.

I'm guessing so. Seems a bit odd considering that people only really used to pick the female character because there was no customization and they didn't like the look of the male character. If I were to guess, I'd say that they think posing as a girl will get more guys to give them free O-Powers and all that.

 

[SirRob]

I figured it was more of a waifu thing. I'm sure if I was a creepy perverted -straight- guy who spent all my time playing Pokemon I'd do the same thing.

I thought the same thing at first, and maybe that they preferred girl's clothes. But it's not uncommon for people on games to pretend to be girls to get confused, sweaty teenagers to give them free stuff. Especially on games with trading in them, like Team Fortress 2.

 

[SirRob]

I'd honestly be surprised if that were the case. Communication is very limited and it wouldn't really be effective to ask passerbys for anything meaningful.

I suppose for now it's a mystery. I know a black guy that set a white person as their character as well. Never asked him why.
