FUCK!
Uh, no? I said that because Dream World abilities are like events. It's impossible to use the Shadow Tag Candle on the DS because it's not out yet.

Hmmm, I'm struggling to piece together your line of logic.
So you can only use Pokémon's abilities during set periods of time, and then only from a DSi?

There is nothing about the game that is different on the DS, or the DSi... I never said anything about anything being exclusive on either. When I say DS, I mean any handheld console able to play the games, such as DS, DSlite, DSi, 3DS, etc.

I'm saying that Dream World is a WiFi feature. The Pokemon with the extra abliities from Dream World are released during set periods of time. I'm not saying that they are only usable during those periods of time, but that they are attainable. Once you attain a Dream World Vaporeon, you're free to use it whenever you want.

My problem with Pokemon-Online's system is that you can use every Dream World ability. I'm not liking how you can use Drought Ninetales on PO, because you can't use Drought Ninetales on the DS, because it has not been released on Dream World yet. I just don't like how you can use teams on the simulator that are not yet possible to use on the DS.

Let's say there will be an event Dragonite with the move Aeroblast, and the event will come out in two years. Would it really make sense if Shoddybattle or Pokemon-Online enable Aeroblast on Dragonite even when the event hasn't come out yet? It's like playing with a Pokemon that does not exist.

My brother and I used an Action Replay to get all the rare event-only Pokémon, and when I tried to trade one away it gave me an error message saying "That Pokémon may not be offered for trade!"
So they are somehow able to detect whether or not a Pokémon is legitimate just by looking at its data before it's traded, which does not bode well for other issues.

Well that's odd. I can trade hacked stuff perfectly fine, whether it's locally or over Wi-Fi. I believe the most hacked thing I've traded so far would be a shiny Magikarp with Wonder Guard as an ability, a moveset of Roar of Time, Spacial Rend, Shadow Force, and Judgment, with 31 IVs and 255 EVs in all of its stats (unoriginal, I know), which I think actually isn't TOO bad...

But that's the extent of my hacking program, really. Maybe your Action Replay codes had something else that made them unable to be traded.

I think we've found out why those AR-generated ones that HK has can't be traded. Event Pokemon do tend to have those ribbon things on them.

Been playing a Japanese version of Pokemon White.

I love that Nintendo went to all this trouble filing legal suits against sites like Serebii.net for even displaying pictures of the new games, but I could go online, download it, and play it within about 10 minutes.

I got one aswell, but the main storys been translated. The exp Pirate thing is also been removed. Its a bit slow for my liking though, until I get some form of running shoes/Bike.

Also 5 character names suck, So far all of my nicknamed pokemon have had to have been shortened. Bullhonkey

I've got a TTDS card for my DS, so I'm playing it on DS.

Playing it in Japanese is just like playing it in English, only a little more difficult to understand what the moves do. I know some Japanese so I can understand the gist of what everyone's saying. I imagine it would be quite difficult to play if you didn't know Japanese at all, since people are telling you to backtrack to certain places all the time to advance the story.

The game itself is quite good. There seems to be a little more emphasis on the story. From what I gather, the evil team are enraged that people would enslave Pokemon and have them fight each other and they're working to free all the Pokemon from their evil masters. It's interesting that they would acknowledge in-universe the weirdness surrounding the whole cock-fighting Pokemon battles.

Incidentally, Team Plasma still fights you with its Pokemon.

Also, I just got a monkey with broccoli growing out of its head.

What's a TTDS card? I own a collection of imported DS games and they all run just fine.
Unless you're using a DSi, which I presume is the case (correct me if I'm wrong)?

I imagine it would be quite difficult to play if you didn't know Japanese at all, since people are telling you to backtrack to certain places all the time to advance the story.

I know what you mean here. I know a marginal amount of Japanese myself (I'm only now taking a class after 11 years of self-education) so the linguistic issue is almost nonexistent. It should be noted for those who haven't been paying attention for the past few pages that in Gen 5 there is an option in the game to use or not use kanji in the text (in gens 1-4, it's all in kana; I can vouch for this), so it's both clearer as there are words that can be mixed up (I explained this a while back, in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, the Great Marsh is called the Daishitsugen in the Japanese version, as "shitsugen" means "marsh" while in some contexts it can mean "slip of the tongue") and slightly more difficult as many Japanese children (and us impatient gaijin) don't know very many kanji.
Now what I'm really concerned about regarding the game is whether or not anyone has called racism yet:

It's a card you put in your DS that lets you play DS roms.

It has a little slot for a micro SD card.

I have no idea why blue hair is suddenly 'tribal'.

And as for her top, it's a short sleeved work shirt. I'd say that's, uh, almost the least 'tribal' thing possible. She's even wearing a ribbon around her neck.

The concern wasn't that she'd look "tribal", but that she'd conform to the "mammy" stereotype of the boisterous black nanny/cook/servant woman.

The apron didn't help matters, but not having played the game, I can't say if she does or not.

I just hope she doesn't have that afro-bull Pokemon in her team. That might be a little much.

I get the feeling that calling racism every time one sees a black cook in a video game is a kind of racism in itself. She is a gym leader.

I don't think Pokemon has ever been a bastion of layered characters. It's almost all stereotypes of one form or another.
