Hmmmm, it doesn't mention anything about keeping stat changes, but my guess is those stick around if status ailments stick around too. Thanks. Hmm, I guess I read your question wrong (I was in a hurry), but yeah, I'd come to the same conclusion. So Basically, Switching and Rotating are two separate things. I guess you can read about Triple Battles here. I wonder how a Competitive Rotation Battle would play out like... I can't test it even I wanted to, cause I still don't want to trade over my pokemon from 4G and I've only got 2 pokemon trained and another being leveled up. Everybody picked Tepig or Oshawott... I have one NOW thanks to GTS, but I haven't met a single player who picked Snivy. Less gay grass types next time! I actually prefered Serperior over Samurott and Emboar, designwise. And Serperior's Leech Seed helped me with a lot of tough pokemon, like N's Zekrom[/White] and even more Ghetsis' Hydreigon.
It's sad that, even with Contrary, Serperior is Bullsh*t (thanks to its pathetic movepool). I mean, if it would have had a good special movepool, a Contrary Leaf Strom Abusing Serperior would have been the bomb. And with a good physical movepool, Coil would have worked great. Oh well, at least I still have my Sceptile. |

Just tried out the Dream World and caught me a Hoppip. Nifty! A man could get addicted to these free Pokemon (I also evolved it to Jumpluff)...
Still in need of a Thundurus... temporarily at least so I can go get Landorus. I also need to register a Zekrom at some point. I'd like to have my own of both (because I'm an insane collector type)... but doubt that'll happen unless I buy my own copy of White like a massive mentalcase.
I'm not against Snivy, but it seemed so unpopular as a starter that those with Snivy have the advantage of being very much in demand.
Edit: Someone on GTS traded my Zoroark for their Tornadus, which I didn't think would work (I levelled it to Lv40 so it didn't seem such a cheap trade).
However, I still need to SEE a Thundurus at some point and then I can try trading Tornadus for Thundurus over GTS. So if anyone can do me a temporary Tornadus/Thundurus swapsie-swapbacksie, I would be a happy man.

Boy there's something that was said in the game that kind of annoyed me, I think it might be spoiler but here it is:
When Juniper's father comments on Pokemon and people he says: "When you capture a Pokemon you don't capture it's heart, you befriend it." Bullshit, if that were true why do Pokemon struggle and break free from Pokeballs? Why are there different kinds of Pokeballs that are stronger and make capturing easier? The Master Ball guarantees a capture no matter what, isn't that like capturing their hearts?
I'm really getting sick of this "Pokemon are our equals" shit. Because by the sounds of it it almost seems like they are our betters! Some trainer said: "If I win it is because of my Pokemon, if I lose it's because of me." So that's pretty much saying nothing is ever a Pokemon's fault and we are always to blame because Pokemon are perfect and Jesus.

Maybe that trainer's just humble. After all there's plenty of Ace trainers around making snide remarks even after you kick their asses.

Yes, because when people try to make sense of the world by making up weird spiritual or religious bullshit that makes no sense whatsoever... that's SO unlike real life!  |

I cannot believe what people will do for a Zoroark! After I managed to get hold of a Zorua I bred a bunch and levelled a couple of them up to Lv40-50 and stuck them up to trade. After a second Tornadus for one, I just received a Zekrom for the other! That ain't bad! Just need Thundurus in my Dex, then I can trade this spare Tornadus for it over the GTS, and then get Landorus... and my Unovadex is complete AND I have a version of everything! (At least until they release the Event Pokemon  ) Don't let me down Kirbychu!! ;D |

Huh. Now I'm tempted to put a couple of Zoroark up myself to try to get Thunderus and Zekrom.

Very nice new area. The new minigame that comes with it is kinda hard but fun. You have to think carefully the way you blow the candles...

Yeah, I enjoyed it. The best thing is that it also appears in all other areas. So all 4 are "integrated" now with each other. Available Pokémon and items |

So, according to a recent post by Junichi Masuda, N's parents are unknown, which confirms Ghetsis is not his biological father. The meaning of N has also been revealed, and his relation to mathematics has been made explicit: Following his recent attention-grabbing post on Twitter, Game Freak director Junichi Masuda has gained the attention of fans worldwide for the second time this week by revealing on his Japanese blog yesterday some information on a Pokémon Black and White character filled with mysteries: N.- N's real name is Natural Harmonia Gropius, with "N" coming from the term natural number.
- With his high IQ, N exceeds average humans.
- A genius, N excels in math enough to be called a math wizard.
- N is quick-witted and has extreme mood swings.
- N can see the past and future of people.
- N believes he was born from Pokémon; the parents are unknown.
- N loves Pokémon but keeps his distance from humans.
- N believes he’s perfect.
- Always putting Pokémon first is N's ideology.
- Given how he is, he has been shunned by humans. In effect, he has a very strong connection with Pokémon.
In addition to the listed information, Junichi Masuda also talks about N's two themes in Black and White in relation to numbers, with his name's origin in mind. (Translation by Bulbagarden; original post here) |

I think it's obvious what Gropius means here. It means his parents were a Grovyle and a Tropius!
