This gen is very special. They're somehow classic and yet still feel very modern. Still so much fun to replay in 2021 and still learning new things. Great work on this video
A worker at my elementary school had this game, and he was kind enough to let me watch during everyone else's nap time. The Battle Subway's theme will forever be engraved into my mind.
Well, it’s actually a *pseudo* legendary, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome. With the right moves, it’s a team sweeper. One of my favorite moments with one was sweeping Cynthia’s entire team. Although I did have to use PP restoring items, since Spiritomb set up a bunch of Double Teams while I was Quiver Dancing. Grr. EDIT (6/29/21): Everyone, pay attention! I’m now *very* aware that I was wrong about Volcarona’s classification. So nobody else needs to point out that the Big Bad Bug isn’t actually a Pseudo Legendary Pokémon. I know. That said, I’m still perplexed as to why it wasn’t made into one (a minor stat boost would’ve easily fixed that).
@@zacharyjoy8724 No, it is not even a psuedo legendary,it's bst is 550 which is 50 points less than the required 600 bst, though it's stats are still pretty bonkers, since it is caught at level 70 in b&w, while in b2&w2, it is at level 35, both of these will be atleast 5 levels higher than the pokemon you've trained, even if somewhat grinded in b&w. Plus, it is one of my favorite pokemon because it let my other pokemon catch up to level 60-70, it was the only pokemon who soloed Cynthia's team for me. Quiver dance and a bug type move(probably bug buzz or silver wind) easily swept cythina's team. It is also the pokemon that made me realize that stat boosting moves matter.
Man, I remember that Haxorus. I didn’t even know it was a thing until I accidentally stumbled upon the side quest after completing my Pokédex. I love hunting for Shinies, but it’s always nice to get a freebie every now and then. Especially when they’re as cool as Haxorus.
I only have 4 shinies, lake of rage gyrados, a shiny charizard I hatched from an egg, a shiny rayquaza from ORAS event and this shiny haxorus. Considering 50% of my shinies are the static encounters I too a, grateful.
I’m playing soul silver rn. Just finished playing platinum before Christmas. I’ll play emerald and firered after. And then I’ll play games ive never played before which is white and black 1 and 2
@Bluver Gaming have u ever played them before? I’m kinda exited to play them since I’ve never played them. I only played it for two minutes on my friends 3ds.
I hope the Hidden groton can return in future generations, just imagine in the middle of your adventure you enter one of them out of curiosity and you find a dragonite lol
i personally don't want them to come back. The chances of regenerating were pretty low, much lower than breeding, and the pokemon were rare af. You usually get nothing, an useless item or if you get a pokemon, it would be a cinccino at best. If they come back i hope you could get only pokemon and the chances were a bit higher, but that's just my opinion.
@@teal735 maybe if we could enter them again and get a different thing instead of an empty space, it would be much better That would definitely make up for the spawn of rare pokemon
One of the coolest experiences as a kid playing this game was catching the static encounter Volcarona accidentally. That’s why gen 5 and 4 will forever be favorite generations for their emphasis on exploration.
I remember getting the Larvesta egg in I think it was the 1st Black and White, right? It took so long to hatch and when it finally did I was like, "Oh... a bug... wonderful...." XD Still kept it in my party during e4 though
Seeing 2021 on the sliding billboard in the route tunnels just makes me so happy and fills me with hope that people still play this amazing generation of such a memorable game
I beat the game recently with my team of Serperior, Golduck, Unfezant, Chandelure, Magnezone, and Espeon. Now I'm currently in a new save with a team so far of Emboar, Aggron, Swanna, Roserade, Jolteon, and Sneasel
This is what I think the new pokemon games are lacking. Random unknown areas that are difficult to find and reward you with powerful Pokémon. The joys of exploring caves and stumping across the buried relic and the wonders of encountering a legendary Pokémon in the depths of a cave/ volcano are totally gone now, it’s all hand held and story driven
But what about Zygarde in XY? Mewtwo in XY, Ultra beast in Ultra Sun and Moon, The Totem Pokemon, The swords of justice in Sword and Shield, The Dynamax adventures, Rayquaza in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl? What are YOU talking about? and also, i'd rather have it so there's a hidden path that isn't a cave or maze, but you have to follow that hidden path through a complex place. Caves are kind of just tedious.
@@Emu- Older Gens where more unique in the way they presented legendarys, in Platinum you have to complete the Pokemon League and the regional dex, then go to a house on to find a child that is sick and you need to go to Newmoon Island with his father to find Cresselia that then becomes a roaming pokemon in any rute, for Darkrai u had to get a ticket and then sleep on a abandoned hotel on the same city to wake up on darkrai's island, For arceus u had to have all 3 Legendary Dragon pokemons (Giratina, Palkia, Dialga) and then get to the top of a mountain to friggin' play a flute that would summon stairs to heaven where u would find arceus, in gen 5 for example, for volcarona u needed to get to the deppest part of the desert ruins and then solve a puzzle to get to the room with it, Cobalion, Terrakion And Virizion where all hidden in really cool places u couldnt get to until defeating pokemon league, in b/w 2 u could get all 3 regis by going to the deeppest parts of a mine that unlocks after defeating pokemon league and getting the national dex, and the puzzle for Regirock even was the same that he had on Emerald, And after catching all 3 u could catch Regigigas like in platinum, u had also Heatran that needed Magma Stone found on route 17 if i remember correctly and u could get zekrom/reshiram by going to N's Castle and fighting him like in the first b/w games. Older games put more attention and detail to legendarys.
Man.. I miss pokemon games like this.. How they gave a sense of adventure and the eriee enviroments they had before. Definitely gen 5 my favorite pokemon games.
@@Ledragonboi27 I think what I mostly miss on the newer games are more on the exploration aspects, and the mini events that occured with the mythical pokemon such as zorua, keldeo and genesect.
Man, I used to despise how in gen 5 there were so many cool pokemon like Braviary, Volcarona, and Mandibuzz that I thought were basically useless for a normal playthrough because they took so ridiculously long to evolve. But now that I realize that you can catch all of them as rare encounters, I just look at it as another way gen 5 excels over the other gens. I played black/white2 with my brother for the first time in 2019, and he found Braviary on accident, and I discovered Volcarona for the first time. Didn't know it was still possible to feel that sense of wonder in these games, even as an adult. And to think gen 5 was around the time in middle school when I decided I didn't like Pokemon anymore... And don't even get me started on how much time I put into the PWT.
@@MrLachapell yeah they were idiots. I remember back in highschool people where constantly whining about the story bieng "too long" and that makes the story " cringe" and most of all the people where thrashing gen 5 just becuz of vanniluxe and garbodor.
Luckily when it was brand new my entire class had the game and we would battle for the champion title in the class... I won the majority with my samurott
i didnt have a bagon before hand. i needed to get one from the grotto so i could breed. it literally took me 3 weeks to find one because bagon is like a 2% chance and I have horrible luck.
@@spectrumcyclone if you have gens 3 through 5 you can get a bagon in ruby and sapphire and then transfer it to black and white (only setback you have to get all 8 badges to access where bagons are located which is in meteor falls)
When I see all of this content, it doesn't surprise me why Gen 5 is in my top 3 favorite generations of games (alongside Gen 1 and Gen 4). Not to mention that Minccino and his evolution are my favorite normal-type pokemons.
Blissey and Snorlax are (cute) bunkers Lopunny is sexy Furret never gets tired of walking Eevee is cute and can get 8 different types when evolving IK that Rattata, Meowth, Bidoof, Zigzagoon, Sentret, Teddiursa, etc... seem to be lame, but duuude, bug type is worse than normal tyoe
@@contraryshinysnivy she said Hidden Grotto, which is on Route 18, left side of Nuvema Town, which is also how you get to the P2-laboratory and Team Plasma's ship in B2/W2. Because the Hidden Grotto CAN have Dragonite with its Hidden Ability Multiscale. The Dragonite's you can catch in the rippling water at the Dragonspiral Tower won't have that, ever.
@@contraryshinysnivy not true btw, Benga just gives you a regular Shiny Dratini without Hidden Ability for that you need the Multiscale Dragonite from the Hidden Grotto first. And if you want to go an entire step further, you also get the Dratini with Extreme Speed from HG/SS, transfer it to B2/W2 and THEN breed yourself a Dratini with Hidden Ability + Extreme Speed combined and if you're lucky (although that would probably take ages) you hatch a Shiny one. :D
@@contraryshinysnivy yeah, I know but she said that she'd be looking for the Hidden Grotto which, again, is at the left side of Nuvema Town. So you mentioning Dragonspiral Tower wasn't 100% correct, only the fact that you can catch the entire evolution line of Dratini there. No worries, I'm not trying to act superior over you or anything, just to give information about the Hidden Grotto location. :)
@@foxtrot2284i'm late af but look up how, you can change your DNS in your system settings and it allows you to access mystery gifts in gens 4 and 5. hope this helps.
From the mysterious ruins, with the music, to the exploration, atmosphere buildup and conclusion with the incredible Pokemon that is Volcarona, It quickly became my favourite Pokemon
So Nate's Canon Team of Pokemon in the games are: - Emboar - Lucario - Arcanine - Minccino - Crustle - Black Haxorus - Braviary / Mandibuzz - Volcarona - Dragonite - Foongus - Jellicent Male / Female - Zorua - Eevee - Shiny Dratini / Shiny Gible - Deerling - Happiny - All Fossil Pokemon (Prior to Gen 6) - Magikarp - Kyurem and any 1 of the twin dragons - Swords of Justice Am I missing anything?
@@EcranPlasma This is based on how Red's team is composed. His team features Pokemon that are gifted to you (Kanto Starters, Pikachu, Eevee [that evolves into Espeon in GSC], and Lapras) and obtained through Special in-game encounters (Snorlax).
Cobalion as well Terrakion conically make an appearance in front of the player with and ,while you can choose not to battle them, them appearing is unavoidable. Virizion will do the same but the route that happens is blocked until we've stopped Team Plasma. There is also the Pokemon Nate, Rosa, Hilbert, and Hilda will select from for their teams when they're your partners on the Battle Subway but I'm not sure those count unless your specifically using a least based on any Pokemon they've appeared with in game.
@@Qurupeco41 you are calling volcarona a legendary because there isnt a bug type one when volcarona belongs to the generation when genesect was introduced :(
I still can’t believe that the fandom criticized the design of some pokemon such as trubbish, vanilite, among others, when the 5th generation was one of the best in how much history and the beginning of the competitive, today it takes a lot of magic that made you feel pokemon of the history and mysteries of a new region.
@@swampy725 Thanks. Really original isn't it? Unfortunately it couldn't fit so it says "CaptFalcon" instead like the abbreviation from smash 64. Could you tell I like smash bros?
I've never completed the Pokedex in any pokemon game, though I'm trying to work on it in PLA, Scarlet, and White in my free time... but I love that BW2 actually rewards the player for doing so
Damn i love gen 5 BW was my first game but i never played B2W2 i didnt know it was so different from the originals, i thought it was like DPPt, where it was the same game with a tiny bit extra.
I remember when I was younger, I had to sneak on to my DS on Mondays to catch Braviary because that was the day it appeared and I wasn't normally allowed on during weekdays. I also didn't know much about time travel back then.
Fun fact! That mandibuzz and breviary actually have their hidden abilities. So if you catch them, you have their hidden abilities. (Mandibuzz is black 2 exclusive and braviary and white 2 exclusive)
you realize catching the whole pokedex gives a shiny charm which makes shiny encounters appear twice the usual amount, and can be stacked on other methods
I loved these games as a kid... I had a samurott which I got all the way up to lv 100 and a Serperior named "LUCKUS" (Lucas), I was a kid so obviously I spelt it wrong. I remember I also named myself "DSH" (Ash) because I struggled to tell the difference between A and D..... I also use to transfer ALL my pokemon to that game so I had all sorts of things on there. My team was a lv 100 samurott, a lv 100 "LUCKUS", Zekrom, Kyurem, Latios and an Aggron. The amount of nostalgia I get from these games is wild! Sadly, in 2015, I sold the game... The store I sold it at had a ridiculous policy where they would only accept games which still had the manual.... To cut it short, I still had my B2 manual so I sold it because I was a stupid kid. Its easily one of my biggest regrets in life....
Same, Platinum will remain my favorite because I hadn't even played B2/W2 until last year, and it just isn't the same feeling on an emulator, but B2/W2 definately are the pinacle of Pokémon games.
Lol who else would use the attack moves instead of the defense ones i didn't think they would help back then XD And wow i didn't know this happened with other pokemon.
Me ,because i think you should attack if you can unless if you want to catch pokemon,imagine when you buffing yourself enemy one hit ko your pokemon..😂that my opinion of course.
One of the most underrated pokemon games, even all these years its still very fun to play specially because of how much pokemon you can catch from different regions as well as the black/white kyurem transformation my favorite pokemon so far and the fact you can change difficulty its very nice.
I got this game used and the guy before me almost completed his pokedex, he had 519 pokemon, not only that, a lot of them were shinies and high leveled. It didnt take me too long to realise it was the game of a famous youtuber AFTER I DELETED THAT SAVE FILE. I feel so dumb whenever I think of that.
Which one of those did you pick on your team?
Volcorona and braviary
I think the jellicent I used was the special encounter one
@@MissingGamer i didn't know that it exicted

So you mentioning Dragonspiral Tower wasn't 100% correct, only the fact that you can catch the entire evolution line of Dratini there.
No worries, I'm not trying to act superior over you or anything, just to give information about the Hidden Grotto location. :)
what i like in the ds games is that you can fully explore it now, all the events mythical pokemons, unlike the 3ds/switch versions they go through dlc
Wait how. I have pretty much most of the older games and don’t have any event pokemkn
@@foxtrot2284i'm late af but look up how, you can change your DNS in your system settings and it allows you to access mystery gifts in gens 4 and 5. hope this helps.
From the mysterious ruins, with the music, to the exploration, atmosphere buildup and conclusion with the incredible Pokemon that is Volcarona, It quickly became my favourite Pokemon
man the relic castle music is so good
it is

- All Fossil Pokemon (Prior to Gen 6)
- Magikarp
- Kyurem and any 1 of the twin dragons
- Swords of Justice
Am I missing anything?
The only real canon pokemon are the 3 first one than you listés
@@EcranPlasma This is based on how Red's team is composed. His team features Pokemon that are gifted to you (Kanto Starters, Pikachu, Eevee [that evolves into Espeon in GSC], and Lapras) and obtained through Special in-game encounters (Snorlax).
Cobalion as well Terrakion conically make an appearance in front of the player with and ,while you can choose not to battle them, them appearing is unavoidable. Virizion will do the same but the route that happens is blocked until we've stopped Team Plasma. There is also the Pokemon Nate, Rosa, Hilbert, and Hilda will select from for their teams when they're your partners on the Battle Subway but I'm not sure those count unless your specifically using a least based on any Pokemon they've appeared with in game.
In the manga, as to where I am, his team is composed of Dewott, Keldeo, Genesect, and I think Kabutops.
He has Braviary in Masters, very possible the one you can catch in Route 4
Catching Volcarona in a Poké Ball? Who are you, chuggaaconroy?
I caught all my legendaries in pokeballs
@@ipiinsih3655 same
I caught a Mewtwo in a regular pokeball in let's go
@@JYASOYT Are you serious?! Did you have to use any berries to improve your odds? If so, which ones?
@@zacharyjoy8724 I did use berries but I forgot which ones because that I would say was kind of 2018 or 2019ish and I am serious
the first time i found Volcarona in the relic castle, i thought it was a legendary pokemon cause i havn't seen one before
With how great it’s stats are, it definitely feels like one!
Well, after all we still don't have a legendary bug type, so it makes a lot of sense too.
Also since it's a bug fire it's easy to say that.
Ome of the seven sages said that a legendary lives there so I was dead on sure that it was a legendary 🤣
@@Qurupeco41 you are calling volcarona a legendary because there isnt a bug type one when volcarona belongs to the generation when genesect was introduced :(
That desert Braviary was the most hype thing I had ever seen playing this game. I still have it years later.
I still can’t believe that the fandom criticized the design of some pokemon such as trubbish, vanilite, among others, when the 5th generation was one of the best in how much history and the beginning of the competitive, today it takes a lot of magic that made you feel pokemon of the history and mysteries of a new region.
I think Vannilites design was fire 🔥. It was so good to be honest. Trubbishs design was okay though, I don’t think they should change it too much.
I like gen ,the art and pixel is ok instead of 3d and megashitvolution not in gen 5.gen 5is the last pokemon i play i guess.
I swear gen 5 music always hits different
Love to see the 1% appearance rate dragonite alongside a god damn foongus
I stumbled across the Volcarona by accident in my Black 2 playthrough, and it became an essential part of my team.
Oh I love the bw games.
They're just full of content
I remember screaming about the shiny haxorus still not as good when I accidentally got shiny reshiram
Same I accidentally got a shiny absol
was the shiny Reshiram 1st encounter?
You found a shiny *Reshi-what!?!?!?*
Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem are all shiny locked in both BW and BW2. You couldn't have gotten it unless you used cheats...
@@Keogu the only thing i can say is: *yes*
The hidden grottos are totally worth to farm because of the pokemons with hidden abilitys
arrr I miss this game so much...
24:36 I love how they throw a *premier ball* to catch the *Haxorus*
How did I not know about most of these
Black and White 2 were seriously overstuffed with hidden extra content. Gives you a sense of appreciation for this game and the developers
@@anthonykim6582 for real, gen 4 will always my favorite, but gen 5 is a close second for sure
@@anthonykim6582 if ppl didnt throw so much hate at gen 5 we would for sure have better games right now
@@beastmaster2752 Why *is* there so much hate for Generation Five? I’ve *never* understood it.
@@zacharyjoy8724 because back then people hated what today they appraise of gen 5
Glad I'm not the only one playing this in 2021. Also I caught the Braviary in a 1st turn quick ball and named him Captain Falcon.
Cool name
@@swampy725 Thanks. Really original isn't it?
Unfortunately it couldn't fit so it says "CaptFalcon" instead like the abbreviation from smash 64.
Could you tell I like smash bros?
The virgin Gyarados vs the chad Haxorus
@@Sii262 indeed
I've never completed the Pokedex in any pokemon game, though I'm trying to work on it in PLA, Scarlet, and White in my free time... but I love that BW2 actually rewards the player for doing so
This is one of the MANY things that make this game what we call serperior 👌
The nostalgia man the nostalgia.....
i love it when pokemon like dragonite or charizard sprites in this game is just standing not flying
This was hands down. The best Pokémon game!
That Moment when the dragonite was modest
Damn i love gen 5 BW was my first game but i never played B2W2 i didnt know it was so different from the originals, i thought it was like DPPt, where it was the same game with a tiny bit extra.
Nah not even close bw2 are the best games in the series by far
@@Xinneon I agree! B2/W2 > all the other games
Currently playing the game and still love it! If anything it aged like a fine wine! 👌
Gen V is the pinnacle of pokemon games. After that, all went downhill....
Thanks, now I gonna catch that Dragonite and i will have another Dragonite (along with the shiny one)
I mean look at them.
They're just chilling.
Ahh my first ever pokemon game i played on my DS..Childhood :)
Thank you really mixeli, you always help me when it comes to Pokemon games,because of you, i get a Braviary before it was level 50
Geez, this game on a emulator looks so beauty!
I remember when I was younger, I had to sneak on to my DS on Mondays to catch Braviary because that was the day it appeared and I wasn't normally allowed on during weekdays. I also didn't know much about time travel back then.
XD
Fun fact! That mandibuzz and breviary actually have their hidden abilities. So if you catch them, you have their hidden abilities. (Mandibuzz is black 2 exclusive and braviary and white 2 exclusive)
I love it when pokemon games have signature features and then it's totally gone in the next generation
Let’s just talk about how good the driftveil city theme is
i listen to it during my workout
Til that Route 4 looks different depending on what version you play
U got munclax in different version
İ can't be the only person who noticed that shiny Haxorus is literally Godzilla with a battle axe stuck on his face
And volcarona basicly a evolve Mothra ~jk
@@saharudin3159 Let's not forget about how hydreigon is literally a blue version of King ghidorah
I've sold my White 2 edition and now I regret it... this game was my childhood and my favourite gen. I think i'm going to buy it again
Wow. Imagine catching a full b2w2 unova dex just for a clip.
you realize catching the whole pokedex gives a shiny charm which makes shiny encounters appear twice the usual amount, and can be stacked on other methods
@@abuslayer17 You're talking about National Dex mah dude, Regional Dex gets you an Oval Charm and the Pass to the Nature Preserve
I always wondered would the shiny Haxorus come back if it got defeated? Or no
No
@@naturalharmoniagropius4486 thanks N ;)
I loved these games as a kid... I had a samurott which I got all the way up to lv 100 and a Serperior named "LUCKUS" (Lucas), I was a kid so obviously I spelt it wrong. I remember I also named myself "DSH" (Ash) because I struggled to tell the difference between A and D..... I also use to transfer ALL my pokemon to that game so I had all sorts of things on there. My team was a lv 100 samurott, a lv 100 "LUCKUS", Zekrom, Kyurem, Latios and an Aggron. The amount of nostalgia I get from these games is wild! Sadly, in 2015, I sold the game... The store I sold it at had a ridiculous policy where they would only accept games which still had the manual.... To cut it short, I still had my B2 manual so I sold it because I was a stupid kid. Its easily one of my biggest regrets in life....
If you still have the DS just buy a R4 and get B2 rom, im pretty sure ur save stays inside the DS and not on the cartridge
Man I was so glad that I could get Volcarona before beating the game. it's like my second favorite Pokemon of all time Lucario being my first.
I diched my Pignite after I got Volcarona. Such a majestic Pokemon.
Damn bro Lucario and Volcarona are my favourites too!
Platinum is my favorite Pokémon game but if I had to pick the GOAT Pokémon game it would have to be black2/white2
Same, Platinum will remain my favorite because I hadn't even played B2/W2 until last year, and it just isn't the same feeling on an emulator, but B2/W2 definately are the pinacle of Pokémon games.
Amen on that.
@@jjc4924 bro I see you everywhere on like pokemon game history documentaries/gen 5 video stuff🤣🤣
Holy hell I didn't know you could get dragonites in the wild
Had I known my entire team would of just been dragonites
The shiny haxorus and the airplane cutscene are the best rewards in any pokémon games for completing the pokedex
Man I've only played pkm white, and seeing the changes n differences between them still surprises me to this day
" a pokemon that hides in a place like this might be pretty amazing" it's Minccino 🤣
Minccino with it's hidden ability*
Did not know you could get dragonite from grottos. I did remember you can get a Salamanca since I caught one
Dang. Graphics are so crisp. Gotta love the pixel RPG era! 💕💕✨✨
I remember seeing that shiny Haxorus after completing the Pokédex. I screamed out loud and my parent just stared at me like I saw a dead body.
12:50 my favorite Pokémon 😊❤️
Man I never played these games, but they looks good for the time they were made.
Man, I remember when I started my Pokémon career with this game (odd ik) and then obliviously went backwards and played platinum!
Lol who else would use the attack moves instead of the defense ones i didn't think they would help back then XD And wow i didn't know this happened with other pokemon.
Me ,because i think you should attack if you can unless if you want to catch pokemon,imagine when you buffing yourself enemy one hit ko your pokemon..😂that my opinion of course.
When I was kid I thought Volcarona was a legendary
I mean it basically is since its op as f
One of the most underrated pokemon games, even all these years its still very fun to play specially because of how much pokemon you can catch from different regions as well as the black/white kyurem transformation my favorite pokemon so far and the fact you can change difficulty its very nice.
It’s impressive that the ds clock is working since 2006
Yes
Whenever I play W2, I always go get Volcarona after I finish the League for the first time.
Is it stronger like the catch chance with kyurem does?
0:01 On this date of USA,nothing happened
Lmao
That Minccino slap though
I got this game used and the guy before me almost completed his pokedex, he had 519 pokemon, not only that, a lot of them were shinies and high leveled. It didnt take me too long to realise it was the game of a famous youtuber AFTER I DELETED THAT SAVE FILE. I feel so dumb whenever I think of that.
Also, Bagon HA - Pinwheel forest HG
I didnt even know that hidden grotto exist, much less knowing there's a freaking dragonite inside.
So you have never played Pokémon B2/W2, because its literally explained early in the story
The dragonite isn’t in that fixed location, grottos have a random Pokemon inside or an item, dragonite happens to be the rarest Pokemon
@@rpv3378 i’m pretty sure he meant that he didn’t know that specific grotto exists and not hidden grottos in general
@@LeMuDX the hidden grotto aren't random, each hidden grotto has default pokemon, and dragonite only appears in the hidden grotto of route 18
Argentina Ball and its appearance chance is what? 1%?
If I'm not mistaken, I think the rarest hidden grotto Pokemon were actually Pinsir (0.25% in B2) & Heracross (0.25% in W2) if I remember correctly.
yes
I only got the Volcarona on my team. He/She was so helpful to the team back then which was couples of years ago...I miss B2.
Still my fave generation.
That Minccino saved my nuzlocke so many times😅
lmao
what is nuzzlocke?
Very beautiful picture quality!!
Half of my Team Changed to these Pokemons
