Has this happened to anyone else?

This is a "critical capture," which occurs at a random chance similar to a critical hit in battle. If you're lucky enough to land a critical capture, the chances of keeping the Pokémon drastically increase to a near-guarantee.

I was going to ask if you know whether this critical capture is a completely random event, or whether it has a known forumula where a statistic can be plugged in and you can guess when it happens next. I know some websties generated a capture forumula, so I was wondering if they've already got one for this. Also wondering if they know whether pokeball type or matchup of pokeball effect (i.e. Dusk ball used at night) effects critical capture.

A few quick questions:
1) Does the Cell Battery work with Motor Drive? (or other similar item-ability combos)
2) Is there any way to tell exactly how many dream points you have?
3) I've heard that Black and White have certain "enhancements for the 3DS, so what exactly are those enhancements?

I see so many ingame teams with straight 31 IVs. Is it just a matter of time spent breeding, or RNG abuse, and whichever one it is, where can I find an in-depth guide for it?

It unlocks the Relocator, a special feature that allows you to transfer over the special event Celebi and shiny Legendaries from the Gen IV games (which both access story events when transferred over), as well as the unreleased Lock Capsule item.

There is no formula for the chances of a critical capture; it is a random (pseudo-random since it is a game) event that happens as often as critical hits (6.25%).

You can always re-battle the stronger trainers like Alder and Cynthia if you want to. You can also try and upgrade your trainer card to the highest level (Black trainer card or White trainer card).

For the third question, it's the same enhancements you get from playing it on a DSi. Xtransceiver stuff and all that.

Okay, one more. I see so many ingame teams with straight 31 IVs. Is it just a matter of time spent breeding, or RNG abuse, and whichever one it is, where can I find an in-depth guide for it?

You'd have to be extremely lucky to get a Pokemon with all 31 IVs, whereas RNG abuse allows you to choose your Pokemon's characteristics. For 5th Gen RNG abuse help go here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83057 The first few posts should link to detailed guides.

Post subject:	Completing the Unova Pokedex
Hey I've had the game for about 2 months now and I was wondering how to complete the pokedex. I was hoping there would be a couple trainers that would allow me to see the pokemon I'm missing, but I don't know if there are any and, if so, where they are. I'm missing Ferrothorn and Zwelious. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you! ~DragoniteLance

Both are easily available in Black or White, Ferroseed is catchable Chargestone Cave and evoles to Ferrothorn at lv. 40 and Zweilous can be evolved from Deino which can caught at the base of Victory Road.

I've done a some searches here on Psypoke and can't find an answer to this yet. I've gotten to Mistralton Cave and faced Cobalion, but KO'd it. The guy said Cobalion would come back to the Guidance Chamber, but it has not. What triggers it to reappear? Or is it now just wandering around aimlessly somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.

"Finish the main story, or defeat the elite four and the champion of the pokemon league." says my pokedex. So if you've already done the main story thing, just sweep the E4 and Champ again and he should appear.

I don't even have all the gym badges yet! I shall persevere though, that I shall!

im missing vullaby, and a few other in game legends like tornadus and landorus. i dont have access to wi fi or another version. what should i do to complete the pokedex? also... is it true professor juniper gives you more pc boxes if u complete the pokedex?

Author:	Dangertrout [ Wed May 18, 2011 10:17 am ]
Post subject:	Re: Black and White FAQ and Help
I don't think there's any way to get those missing pokemon for your dex without trading. I'd try finding a wifi hotspot at a coffee shop or something, if you don't have access at home. As for the boxes, you get up to 24 PC boxes in this version. As you fill them, more are added until you reach 24. You don't have to fill them completely, but each box needs to have something in it before it will add any additional boxes. And I believe you have to exit the computer to activate the addition of the boxes. So, put one pokemon in each box, log off PC, log back in. Just do that until you unlock all the boxes.

I was looking for information on the empty, "forlorn" White Forest and found this... Quote: You need to use the EntraLink in order to tell more people to come to your city. How exactly does that work, though? I can't connect to the Internet and can't communicate with my Black game, so I'm rather baffled. Come to think of it, if I have no Internet connection (well, none which is compatible with my DS Lite) and no other games to communicate with (i.e. no access to a second DS system), can I use Entralink at all?
