>>41723463BW is a breath of fresh air in terms of new potential encounters, I'll agree to that. And, surprisingly, the encounters in B2W2 tend to favor Gen 5 pokemon in a lot of areas.
Now that SW/SH has been out for a while and there's nothing left to spoil, I'm back at it with a new run in Moon. I made it past the first trial last night. The run hasn't been very eventful except for Lunar Gary being a very testy catch. I decided to give myself an extra encounter at the Trainer School (technically part of Route 1) and the Magnemite I caught almost wiped me. Scroungy the Yungoos got 2KO'd and Miss Circus was knocked down into the red by very graciously-selected Magnet Bombs.
