Sorry, Spectre (both for the late response and the news), it's only at GameStop.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.....
Guess it's another event I'm going to have to Shark. Shouldn't take too long for codes to show up.(If there isn't already a code up.)

Spectre. This site will be your savior: Project Pokemon. They research hacking of Pokemon games. But that's not all, they have members from all over the world that contribute Event Pokemon files extracted from games that downloaded them. Name a major event from any of the seven languages Pokemon games are made for, they probably have it. Although it's more involved, you need a program called either Pokesav (Gen IV games) or Pokegen (Gen V games) to convert said Event Pokemon files into Action Replay codes. Involved, yet worth it for those who are picky about getting "legal" Event Pokemon (note how I didn't say "legit" then, they're very picky about that term).

Hmmm...Interesting. Looks complicated. /hates fiddling with computer programs.
Why the hell they wouldn't let you keep more than one file I'll never know!

As the lack of posts until now may indicate, THEY'RE OUT IN NORTH AMERICA! Been pretty much since I got em (well White 2 anyway). I have two badges so far. Probably gonna lay in bed and play more before going to sleep.

Hmm... I'm going to wait until gamers get a ROM up. I understand that in one city (Elesas city I think) has someone you can trade with once per day with different pokemon offered depending on the characters Gender.
Intend to SOMEHOW create a hyper-powerful Snivy or Servine. Still not fond of Serperior or the fact that their attacks consist of nearly nothing but grass-types

The ROM's up now, Shadow. A couple of Skype buddies have been playing it since yesterday. Though at this rate, just hold out for the Australian release. I believe it's out the 11th or 12th for you guys there. Then again I don't remember if you have a DS or not.

Used to. Something happened and I reluctantly sold it along with all games for a fraction of what they cost.
Made up for it by downloading an emulator. Only have Black and White for now.
Wondering if it's even possible to make a ridiculously powerful Snivy or Servine...

Only if you hack or take the time to IV and EV train it. Even if it's the latter it would probably only be moderately powerful in-game at best(Could remain useful throughout the game.). Possibly on a competitive level if you give it the right moveset.
From everything I've seen, the Snivy family are actually moderately fast tanks. The most beneficial moveset I see is the Leech Seed + Giga Drain + Leftovers combo. With another offensive grass move to help it deal damage.

*Growls* Damnit all, hacking destroys the fun of gaming. Well, if that's the case I hope there's a way to get easy money like the shadows on the bridge in 1. I'm gonna need those vitamins. (Hmm... Maybe a Servine for initial starter. Next gen will have the first as a servine and the younger a Snivy. I'm starting to disturb myself with all this bizzare planning.)
Depends on whether their ATK or SP. ATK's higher. I keep Leaf Blade and Leaf Tornado regardless. Thanks for the strategy mate, kinda embarased I didn't think of it before.
On a topic completely unrelated to Pokemon, one of my old friends from school has Borderlands on Steam. Apparently it's got a lot of refferences, mostly taking the piss out of 'em. (I didn't understand the "Horrorshow" sniper rifle 'till he reminded me. Shutting up now.)

I've been running Oshawott (currently a Dewott) and it's been fine. Also got a Lucario and a Braviary. taking a break now, but I've been leveling up before I take on Elesa.

The attack and special attack stats of the snivy family are equal, so pick whichever attack has the best power.
I wouldn't blow money on vitamins. They're way too expensive for what they're worth. They're basically drinks that put a few points in EVs, something you get automatically when you battle pokemon.

I guess, but then there's the enemies defences to consider. They're both pretty powerful, but kinda pointless if the opposing defences leave it with enough health to retaliate more than absolutely necessary.
Yeah, but the thing is that while grinding on the Ruby emulator, my pokemon level up too fast. They rise one before I finish getting the EV points I want so I figured that even if it's a longer, more tedious process it'll probably pay off in the long run... Of course, I'm a stingy bastard so I'll only buy 'em if there's an easy way to get money that doesn't involve some stupidly complicated methods. She shadows on the second bridge work just fine from what I can see.

Don't worry about the speed at which your pokemon level up. So long as they get the EVs you want before they hit level 100 they won't miss out on anything. With how absurdly slow levelling up gets at the higher levels you don't even need to worry about that.
You also get EVs from weaker pokemon if its safety you're worried about. It's tedious, but I think it'd be better than hunting the feather drops. Especially if you have a macho brace which will double the rate of gaining them from battle. I haven't gotten it in B/W myself, but from what I've read it's from a man at Nimbasa City's eastern gate.
