POKEMON BLACK AND WHITE 2 MAP PATCH

POKEMON BLACK AND WHITE 2 MAP PATCH

If you're looking for a particular Pokemon that's only found in shaking grass, walk around the perimeter of the grass until you see a patch shake. Even if you've never encountered shaking grass before, you'll know it when you see it. The difference in Black and White is that the shaking grass now occurs randomly on its own whenever grass in on-screen. It's very similar, in that shaking grass patches usually have a different kind of Pokemon then you'd normally find in the surrounding grass, usually a rare species. You may notice a shaking grass patch every so often as you wander around leveling up and catching Pokemon, and it should look familiar to you if you ever used the PokeRadar Poketch app in Diamond, Pearl or Platinum (see our Shiny Pokemon guide).

It's always exciting to step into your first tall grass in each Pokemon game, isn't it? Grass in B&W has two additions from the grass you're used to from previous generations: shaking grass patches and doubles grass. As you exit, your mom gives you the Town Map too. Head to Bianca's house in the southwest corner to see a scene with her father, then head to the lab in the northwest to receive your Pokedex.

You don't have your running shoes yet, so it's not worth exploring the rest of the town yet unless you really want to. Save your game right before you approach the present in your bedroom to save time. Unless you have a friend who's willing to hook you up with female starters, it's worth considering soft-resetting despite how tedious it can be вЂ“ you only have a 12.5% chance of getting a female starter, so it can take more than a few resets.
