Preparations for Pokemon Black & White

[FamicomFreak]

So I just finished Pokemon Ruby and was wondering which is the Pokemon game with the most Pokemon available? I'm think of buying Silver or Gold and play through that one then transfer my Pokemon from Leaf Green, Ruby, and Emerald over to that one to have them ready to transfer them to Black or White(Haven't decided yet). Any tips on compatibility of Pokemon games would be helpful.

I definitely think HeartGold and SoulSilver have the most Pokemon available.  You can catch Pokemon from all four generations after you beat the main game.  One thing for sure is that Black and White will only contain Pokemon from the 5th generation until after the main game.  You will not see any Pokemon from any of the older generations until a certain point.

kewl, then I guess Silver or Gold are the best choices.

Not the original GS, I'm talking about HGSS for the DS.  Obviously GS doesn't have Pokemon from all four generations because half of them weren't created yet.

Yeah I know what you mean GS for the DS of course! I need to get me a DS again....had to sell my old one to pay bills during some tough times...

when everyone bought HGSS i bought the original gold and silver

we seriously need to do some wi-fi battles.

I have no one to test my team with 

I'd love to WiFi battle with someone on here.  I've done quite a few battles with people on Youtube, but apparently I'm pretty good.

[FamicomFreak]

and that's a bad thing? go kick ass just make sure you record it and share it here.

[nintendodork]

I recorded a few (mostly uber) battles and posted them on my old Youtube account (famicomdork).  I haven't done that for a long time though.  When I get my new camera and people on here want to battle I'll most likely upload those to Youtube too if it's okay with the other person.

[FamicomFreak]

sounds like a plan. I'll make sure to take notes on your battle tactics. I only played wifi pokemon like a year ago with this snotty girl ....got my ass handed to me! She did a lot of trash talk on the mic too!

[FamicomFreak]

I think that legendaries should be banned from online play. It doesn't make the game fair at all you know...it's totally lame!

[nintendodork]

I think it's okay as long as you specify beforehand that you can use them.  I hate the fact that you actually need to specify such a thing though.  Most of the time, if you just ask someone to battle, you'll have a legitimate team, and then the other person just has a bunch of uber Pokemon.  I think they shouldn't be allowed to be used unless you say before the battle that you can use them.

[FamicomFreak]

It's funny how they don't allow you to use them in the battle tower in pokemon ruby at least for gareon whatever the name is and you can use them online....

FF, keep in mind that all transfers from one generation of games to the next is a one way trip. If you get any of the Gen 4 DS games, you can transfer your Gen 3 Ruby Pokemon, but only after you beat the game and once you put them in the new games, they dissipear from the old ones. Works with the same with the Gen 5 Black and White versions.

[FamicomFreak]

so will I be able to transfer from lets say soul silver to the black or white games?
