First off, thank you all for the feedback on the change in how we're displaying type information in the Psydex. We're currently working on a way to reconcile the ease-of-use of the old system for most Pokemon with the new way's ease-of-use when it comes to more complicated type/ability combos. More on that soon.
Of course, we've also been busy with other things. Changes made over the last week and a half include: A new Generic Capture Mechanics Guide in the PsyLab to help explain not only what's going on when you throw a Pokeball, but also what all those pictures under "Method" in the Psydex actually mean. The Black and White Gym Leaders & Elites page that was just never posted before now. (Oops.) The next section of the Black and White Walkthrough courtesy of Frost's hard work. Also of note is that the Walkthrough itself has been expanded with the Wild Pokemon Encounter tables.
I've also been cleaning up a lot of stuff around the site that's piled up over the years, especially worrying about the Black and White section and trying to transition away from all the pre-release content to post-release. You can expect most everything in that section to be updated more in the coming days. More videos will follow as well.
Don't forget to pick up your Mew for HeartGold and SoulSilver!
Excellent job. I don't know if I'd just never seen the page before, or if I payed it little mind, but it's intriguing to see the actual formula for Pokemon Captures. Have they always used this formula, or is it just in newer Generations?

ok extremely off topic but right as im posting there is a show on verison channel 262 called sslayers evolution. its on mondays-fridays at this time and i swear the blond dude with the big sword sounds like brock. and the blue haired girl sounds like ashs mom... just puting that out there
@mudkip eez awesome haha i love how you always have a talkback. and i would not know cuz i dont have channel 262 :P my tv goes 1-100 then 700-900 dumb right? now IM getting off topic! @Nobody Well I cant wait for White cuz thats pretty beast and I really want the white legendary so im bummed that white doesnt have the whiite legendary, cuz he/she/it looks Beast w/ a capital B
@mudkip eez awsome Except that's not technically true.
The reason I didn't put a "Champion" in the guide is because, strictly speaking, you don't battle the Champion the first time through. You do have battles between beating the final member of the Elite Four and the "end" of the story, but not against the Champion.
@bottomsupfellas Champion Adeku; he's the guy with the bright red hair you meet after the fourth gym
@Biosci Team Plasma's plans interfere first time around, and you don't battle Adeku until the second time. N is not the champion, you just battle him after the last Elite Four.
yah but when you walk in you find N and adeku yelling at eachother or something like that. then N takes you to his castle and you catch your dragon fight N then geechesu and win!... or somthing like that
@mudkip eez awsome But he's NOT the Champion. He's not even the last trainer battle before you "beat" the game.
There IS a Champion, you don't fight him on your first run through the Elite Four, thus he's not in the guide for the first battles against the Elite Four.
N is indeed the champion the first time you fight through the E4. Sometime in-game he tells you he will befriend Reshiram/Zekrom and then become the champion with it so everyone will have to listen to him and be friends with pokemon. When you see him talking to the official Champion (Adeku) you find out that he did indeed beat the E4.
The game reserves a "Champion" title for the character who fits the role, and N doesn't have it. It's a title given to a second character, Adeku, whom you battle as Champion on your second run of the Elite Four.
N isn't even the last person you battle in the game, not that that is what really determines who is Champion anyway.
N is NOT the Champion. He is never referred to as such.
