General Pokémon

Don't forget about Join Avenue. Such a breeze for hatching/raising Pokemon now.

Anyone know of a good way to get EV-lowering berries in 4th Gen (Johto) or 5th Gen?

How so? Join Avenue confused me so I kinda just forgot it existed and pretended I would never need it..

Join Avenue sucks.

[JDMEK5]

But what could it possibly be good for?

[Roz~]

Nothing. It sucks.

[JDMEK5]

K good cuz when I played through White again, I remember paying clear attention when they were explaining it and I couldn't find a single, productive reason to bother with it at all. I was right I guess..?

I personally loved Join Avenue. Got to upgrade every store, and by the end of it all, you're rewarded with a lot of Max Revives, rare candies, easy ways to level up (gym), easy ways to hatch eggs (nursery), etc. Plus the lottery was fun to check every day. Idk, it was mindless but it was cool to invite people like gym leaders and elite four.

Join Avenue actually does something?!

If what you say is true, tell me how to achieve the same thing.

Join Avenue is the best feature from B2W2, arguably the best feature of all time.

But what could it possibly be good for?

- Great theme song
- The Dojo can raise EVs from 4-64 points each stat, making it more precise than Vitamins, and is unaffected by the EV cap. Can also raise Levels, if you're too lazy to grind.
- The Cafe does similar things as the Dojo.
- The Nursery hatches eggs instantly.
- The Beauty Salon can be used to decrease EVs if you want to allocate them to different stats.
- The Market gives PP Ups, Max Repels, and Vitamins (among other things) for cheaper costs by buying in bulk.
- The Flower and Antique Shops might give you the odd important Berry or Gem, but those are only needed like once. Otherwise they can be moneymakers for the above shops, such as by selling their rare goods to Maniacs. Heart Scale's cool too for the Move Relearner.
- The Raffle's just free stuff a day, most notably for PP Max or Master Ball.
- Plus you get free Stardust from it over time, so it almost pays for itself.

Anyways, yeah, easiest way to get a big Join Avenue is to trade/battle a lot to get other people to come to your Avenue. Trading Magnemite for Magnemite on the GTS is the trick people use before for quick Join Avenue growth.

Berries + Wings and Vitamins

PWT was the greatest addition to Pokemon ever.

[Roz~]

Yup, PWT definitely was the best addition to Pokemon. But the AI is so dumb It's fun to battle the World Champs in each age divisions.

What if my White for some reason can't use Wi-Fi? Am I screwed at that point?

[Roz~]

Well you can't meet new people so you can't recruit them so your avenue won't grow. So yeah you could say you are screwed
Unless you can meet trainers irl.

[JDMEK5]

Unless you can meet trainers irl.

Good luck with that.. I only have 3 friends who have B/W and I hardly ever see 2 of them. Forget happen to have our games on us as well..
