[bleep] YEAH! GLOBAL LINK IS UP!

 

Messed around in Dream World, doing the Global Battle Union right now.

[Orpheus]

Venusaur is excellent this generation with Sun support. Doubled speed, Growth working as a SD and Nasty Plot, Sleep Powder, etc. Annoying bastard too.

 

Charizard sucks even without Stealth Rock on the field. He. Sucks. Period.

 

Blastoise might fill a niche as a spinner in UU. He's cool, just not amazing.

 

Meganium is lol.

 

Typhlosion has it's niche as an Eruption abuser, but that's shaky at best.

 

Feraligatr is still the same. Cool, but outclassed by Gyarados unfortunately. Cool SR neutrality and no 4x weaks though.

 

Sceptile is cool, fast, excellent at sweeping, but Blissey still stops it cold. Still, 120+ Base speed is hard to come by.

 

Blaziken is banned.

 

Swampert faces too much competition from Quagsire and friends this generation.

[Buzzcut3]

Just got a Male Nidoran with Hustle. Not the biggest DW Poke I could get, but not useless by any means. Probably going to keep everything in the Entralink because it looks badass (Serebii has corrupted my mind).

[Miner_Guy]

Is there a way to register running shoes because i swear in a review i heard they said that you didnt have the press b to run? And do all of you guys have two ds, so that you can trade all of your previous version to w/b or is there another way of doing it?

[Demoli]

Is there any way to connect my DS to a WPA connection? I don't wanna be left out on DW and Global Link :(

I hear you could 'toggle' the shoes in HGSS but this was removed for Black and White.

 

Actually, my biggest gripe with this game is the removal of so many 'little things' from Gen 4. I miss the Day Care Centre App from DPP, even if he does call you from the road... <_<

 

Demoli: Classic DS and DS Lite cannot connect to WPA settings. DSi and 3DS can. You could change your router security settings to WEP, which the former two consoles accept.

[Miner_Guy]

Is the online good for pokemon, i just singed up for global link what do you do?

 

Edit: It is working for me i keep getting the error 52700, which means global link isnt open yet?

[Demoli]

So, how can you change your router setting from wpa to wep? I've explored it's settings for hours and i came up with nothing :(

Yep you can, i had excactly the same porblem as you, i had an old ds with a wpa key. All i did was go to my bt homehub manager and changed it there, but you probably arent on BT, so i think you have to type in your ip address in, and then it hsould take you to to your connection manager thing

I'm changing mine daily because my sister's apple products don't work with WEP, so I change it back to WPA after I'm done.

 

What I have to do is:

Go to the router via internet browser and log in (you probably know this and do it, but whatever).

Log in

Go to the security tab (any tab that allows you to change your router password will likely work).

Click on a drop down box named security mode (don't know what else it could be called, sorry).

Change it to 128bit WEP (64 bit is something else for me, so hopefully you can figure out what I'm talking about).

 

Hope that helps. I don't know your router so that's probably about as specific as I can be.

Why 128 bit? My wpa was 64 so i just left the wep as 64 bit, whats the difference?

When I go to 64 bit I have a bunch of blank lines where it seems like I'm supposed to fill out the keys myself. When I go to 128 bit it's already done and it worked with my DS. Not sure of the difference, but if it works for you that's great.

[Necromagus]

Gah, I can connect just fine, I'm all set up and registered on the website, my Pokémon is shown as sleeping, yet when I go to the Dream World site the flash thing doesn't seem to load at all.

[Nenga]

So now that I have gone to the dream world, my espeon didn't show up, anyone else have that problem?

[Miner_Guy]

Is victini any good? Is it worht training?

[Alg]

I read their FAQ on it, and apparently they haven't actually started that promotion yet.

I was looking around the website and didn't find anything on it.

I think it was on the Global Link site, one of the links along the bottom is for help with the DW, and one of the questions was about why people weren't getting their Eeveelutions.

Yeah I took another look, it's hidden really well.

[Alg]

And it's written in a way that you have to really look to find anything even remotely helpful in it. I thought EULAs were bad...

[Demoli]

So, i've ben trying a new team online and Holy crap i think i found a good one:

No one is expecting a LO Dory nor a special Landoros. CB tars are also rare, so you cna nab KO's from things like Rotoms and Reuniclus by pursuiting them. And don't scoff at Omastar, that thing's a beast!

[Miner_Guy]

Should i evolve my drillbur at lvl 31 or should i wait?

[PoorLepRecon]

I'm waiting to evolve mine, he learns every move you'll need by 36. Mine will run Swords Dance, Earthquake, Rock Slide, and Rapid Spin.

I'm find dig pretty good atm, it does alot of damage. Is earthquake the equivalent but better?

Also i dont reallly get the global trading thing, because when i search for pokemon it only comes up with pokemon i have seen?

[PoorLepRecon]

Earthquake is much better than dig. For one, earthquake is an instant attack, rather than dig which is a 2 turn attack. Earthquake also has a lot more power than dig does.
