Description I beat my White a couple of days ago. I must say I love that game. Personally I think it's one of the best Pokemon games out there. Those who don't like the new generation and refuse to give it a try, I think you should try it anyway, you migth be surprised. When I started the game there were a lot of pokemon I didn't even sneeze at but now many of them are suprisingly nice.
Especially the ones in my awesome team!

This is the team I beat the E4 with.

Sarosh (Samurott) - male - I picked Oshawott as my starter and I never regretted it. Sarosh hits hard although he isn't the fastest. However, he has never let me down and I can always count on him.
Castor (Zebstrika) - male - Holy. Shit. What can I say? Castor is one of my most reliable - if not the most reliable - battler. He's damn fast and his electric attacks always hit the target with a massive amount of damage. When Castor was still a Blitzle I wondered if he was really worth raising - and then he evolved. Castor has definitely proven himself and deserves the spot in the team.
Arathorn (Haxorus) - male - Originally I caught an Axew because I wanted a dragon type until I caught a Deino. However, Arathorn never left the team. His massive attack stat and awesome moves quaranteed the spot in the team. I really like Haxorus and Arathorn is one top Pokemon.
Pandora (Carracosta) - female - I got Pandora accidentally. I intended on getting an Archen because he could learn Fly but I kept pressing A until I got the other fossil. I hadn't saved for a while so I though I'd just settle with that. I planned to box the Tirtouga I received but when I was Pandora the first time I completely fell in love. Tirtouga is one of the most adorable pokemon there is! (sea turtles ftw!) So Pandora stayed. I really, really love her and her huge physical power.
Astaroth (Volcarona) - male - Now this is the pokemon I wanted to have since the first time I saw the sprite. Volcarona is inevitably one of the coolest, most beautiful and most awesome pokemon there is. Astaroth (I spent half an hour trying to figure out a name for him) was awesome when he hatched from his egg. Even as a Larvesta he was very powerful - and so cute as well! When Astaroth finally evolved I was so happy, I finally had my very own Volcarona! Astaroth's Special Attack needs to be praised, it's monstrous. Not only is Astaroth one of the coolest pokemon he is also one of the strongest pokemon I've known. I love him.
And the last but not the least
Shiegtur (Hydreigon) - male - Training Shiegtur was a real pain in the ass. Deino was, to put it simple, useless. Luckily Audino prowide great exp. ridiculously easily and Shiegtur grew up fast. He was fully evolved when I challenged the E4 and I think he could've taken them all by himself if I let him to. Ghestis was a joke, he didn't stand a chance. It took me some time to realize that those two other heads are actually Hydreigon's hands. The degisn is still cool and the type, oh, the type, is the definition to awesome. Dark/dragon. Oh love. Shiegtur is awesome. He's still stronger than anyone else although I've trained them all. If nothing goes as planned, he's always there to help me out, I can always trust him.

There, my lovely team! I though they deserved a proper picture, they're all so awesome.
I'm currently grinding for Cynthia. I got a heart attack when I was randomly barging in people's houses and ran into her. Luckily I didn't have to battle her right away, and now I'm avoiding that house until my pokemon are strong enough.
Just you wait, bitch, you're going down very soon!

Oh, and tell me if the picture is too dark. Laptop screen really isn't ideal for adjusting contrasts.

Cynthia's Garchomp is really all you need to worry about =/ the rest of her team aren't too bad.

ShadeofShinon In reply to NaveraFuerbrand [2011-03-18 22:38:34 +0000 UTC]

I thought so, too. I haven't looked up any spoilers but that Garchomp is not only obvious but it keeps popping out every now and then.
I still need more grinding...

NaveraFuerbrand In reply to ShadeofShinon [2011-03-19 01:35:33 +0000 UTC]

Yeh its for some reason but her Garchomp is fast as fuck and his move line up is deadly. His Dragon Rush move usually never misses, the rest aren't to hard though.
I beat most of her Pokemon with my Lv. 67 Jalroda.

I had to level up my Reshriam to 72 jus to kill that damn Garchomp! I used Dragon Pulse, his Special Defense is alot lower than his defense. Which leads me to believe its a Naive nature since its fast but takes more damage with Sp. Attacks.

I hope that helps any at all lol

ShadeofShinon In reply to NaveraFuerbrand [2011-03-26 10:57:41 +0000 UTC]

I didn't get to experience any of that Garchomp's deadly moves because my Volcarona OHKO'd him with a single Bug Buzz. The same Volcarona sweeped pretty much the rest of the team, too. His level was 70 and after setting up a few Quiver Dances no one could touch him. The rest of my team, excluding my lvl 70 Hydreigon, were barely lvl 65 yet still my Zebstrika managed to OHKO Braviary and Milotic.
All in all, Cynthia wasn't half as bad as I had expected.

I have to say, this looks like it took forever. I really wish I could draw this well, but I'm relatively new with the tablet. O.o Great job, I love it!

It didn't take too much time, cell-shaded pictures are quite fast to draw. :>
Anyway, thank you!

You totally just spoiled me on Axew's evolution here. But that's okay. This is so amazing, I can hardly believe it. They really do look like a majestic team of winners. Great job!

ShadeofShinon In reply to Karelliann [2011-03-18 22:41:03 +0000 UTC]

Aww, sorry about that! I know getting spoiled is no fun and it's quite hard to avoid spoilers about B/W at the moment. Yet somehow I managed to avoid most of the spoilers.
Anyway, thank you!

Don't worry. The artwork really was worth it. And my Fraxure just evolved, too! And no problem. ^_^

sweeney-todd-warrior In reply to ShadeofShinon [2011-03-19 03:53:58 +0000 UTC]

Oh geeze, I'm not sure! I mean, I think I gotta see all the pokemon first.
Right now I have Dewott, Liepard, Musharna, Tranquill, Blitzle, and Audino.

I'm not sure about my dream team yet. ^^'

I do want a Scolipede, Zorua, Sawsbuck, Haxorus, and a Braviary.
(Sorry for the list, I'm just kinda going down the dex to see what's what. x.x)
I feel like a 5th generation n00b.

That sounds like a good team so far. :> I had Dewott, Liepard, Musharna and Blitzle at some point as well but I replaced some of them along the way. It was quite sad. :/

That team you've planned sounds pretty awesome, too! I can tell Scolipede and Haxorus are awesome. I don't know about the others since I haven't trained them.

Yeah...I hate having to replace pokemon you raised from scratch...but...you know...they're pixels. XD

Scolipede is the first bug pokemon I'm determined to get. The rest are just...meh.

I'm still at the 8th gym trying to evolve my larvesta...You're has high special attack? I'm jealous; mine is weak in Special attack which will probably suck in the long run :c

ShadeofShinon In reply to Mouseychu [2011-03-17 11:03:53 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!
Larvesta has higher attack than special attack before evolution. After it evolves, its specia attack will be boosted to god-like levels.
