Pokemon Black/White Journal

[Fate]

I suspected it was the museum, but I was looking for one of those professor guys with the machines next to them. >_> Guess I shouldn't assume what the person I'm suppose to look for looks like. xD

And yeah, Victini is very powerful against...everything. xD When NPC trainers don't EV train their Pokemon and Victini has a default 100/100 defenses, it has a hard time dying even with super-effective 100 Power STAB moves.

Don't you just love how the game GIVES you a ton of stuff right off the bat? I mean, the Lucky Egg is given as part of the story. We used to have to go through hell for that thing. And then out of nowhere, "Here's a bike," and "Here's Surf." Nicest generation ever. XD

Beat the second gym, retrieved something Team Plasma had stolen. Chased them through a forest.

The gym battle wasn't too bad. There was a book puzzle since the gym is museum/library themed. Only 3 trainers. Gym leader had 2 Pokemon, I one-hit KO'd the first one. The second (this gen's Bidoof evolution with deep, red cocaine eyes) kept on using hypnosis. I just spammed potions until my Pokemon woke up since I didn't want to bother using Awakenings only to be sleep'd again. It took about two hits. Used Pignite and whatever fighting move he had the whole time.

Then the forest. Goddamn rangers. They had ninja or something in Diamond & Pearl that hid in the grass. It's like that except they're about as plentiful as hikers. Laughed out loud when one of them said, "Can you feel my _____?" after being beaten.

I got the dowsing rod along the way. It is SO much better than before. I don't have to tap the damn screen over and over anymore. The user interface in Pokemon could still use some work. It'd be nice to just have a main menu with everything on the touch screen so I don't have to quit out of the map or dowsing rod, backtrack past the C-Gear, open the menu, etc., etc. I still can't figure out why after all these years the Pokemon Storage still makes you choose between Withdrawing and Depositing Pokemon when Move Pokemon does both.

I think there were two bug pokemon and one grass pokemon that I caught in the forest. Thinking about switching in either for the grass one. Or maybe that damn cat. I need a replacement. Haven't been leveling it at all. Trying to keep my party's types spread out though.

What do the star fragments from that courage punching rock do? Do you just sell them?

Are triple battles a big part of this game because they sound like they are more of a gimmick then double battles ever were? Triple battles just sound so much more cluttered and zany, having to worry about "adjacent pokemon", and switching positions. Basically just more trouble then they are worth.

I think the number of triple battles within the plot portion of the game depends on what version you have. They look fun to do with friends at least! It really does seem like an end game thing.
