Appendix:Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Walkthrough/Part 1

## Aspertia City

Your mom will go back inside the house and say she's home. Walk from your room into the living room, and she will start talking to you. She'll ask you if you want a Pokémon and a Pokédex, so answer "Yes" to both her questions to show your determination to go out on adventure. Your mom tells you that Professor Juniper's assistant, a girl named Bianca, has come to meet you.

Press the 🅧 button to look in your Bag and check what's inside. The Bag already holds the Xtransceiver and the Pal Pad. Also, make sure to go to your **Options** menu to change any features such as text speed and battle style.

You can also check the TV for news. There is a TV inside your house and many more all over the region. Different programs may be useful to you on your adventure, so be sure to stop often to check them out.

Leave your house and as you're walking north, you'll meet up with Hugh and his sister. Hugh will talk to you, saying he already has a Pokémon, but he wants a traveling partner. His sister will head home during the conversation. Afterwards, he decides to help you look for Bianca.

Go northwest toward the stairs to the outlook. Here you'll meet Bianca. She asks if you want to help complete the Pokédex. After you accept this task, talk to her again, and she will show you a container with three Pokémon inside. You'll get to choose one to be your partner.

* Snivy is the most challenging of the three to choose. It has high Speed and Defense, but low Attack and Special Attack. Its movepool is limited, it has five weaknesses, those being Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Poison. It also doesn't gain another secondary type as it evolves. It doesn't have a great advantage over many of the Gym Leaders either. So if you want a challenge, choose Snivy.
* Tepig will eventually become a Fire/Fighting-type. Because of this, it gains weaknesses to Flying and Psychic-types, though Rock-type moves now do neutral damage. It can hit hard with its high Attack, and it can take hits as well with its high HP; although it really has poor Speed. It can learn Flame Charge at level 15, which can come in handy as that's shortly before it evolves. It's a pretty easy Pokémon to use during the beginning parts of the game, so it's great for beginners.
* Oshawott is the most balanced stat-wise of the three Pokémon. It has great Special Attack combined with good HP and Attack, though lower Speed and Special Defense. It has the least amount of weaknesses of the three, with only two, being Electric and Grass. Because of its balanced stats and overall type effectiveness, combined with a decent movepool, it's pretty versatile.

Bianca will also ask if you want to nickname your Pokémon. Nicknames can potentially create a bond between your Pokémon and make them feel more attached to you. You'll also receive the Pokédex, which will allow you to record data on all the Pokémon you encounter during your adventure.

As you walk down the stairs of the lookout, Hugh asks Bianca if he can have a Pokédex as well, so he can learn about Pokémon and become stronger. She happens to have another Pokédex on her so she gives it to him.

If you talk to Hugh or try to walk past him down the stairs, he will challenge you to a Pokémon battle. He claims to have raised his Pokémon from an Egg. Hugh's Pokémon is a type your Pokémon is weak against, but it doesn't know any moves that are super-effective against your Pokémon yet.

* If you chose Snivy
* If you chose Tepig
* If you chose Oshawott

Usually, if all of the Pokémon in your party get knocked out, you will be returned to the Pokémon Center. But even if you lose your first battle with Hugh, you won't be returned to the Pokémon Center and your adventure will continue.

Hugh will depart afterwards. Bianca takes you to the Pokémon Center when your battle with Hugh is over. She teaches you how to heal your Pokémon and use the Poké Mart. She will give you ten Poké Balls before departing.

The Pokémon Center has a PC where you can deposit or withdraw Pokémon. You can use the communication counters on the second floor after earning your first Gym Badge. Whenever you visit a new town or city, be sure to stop by the Pokémon Center first.

The Poké Mart has the following items for sale:

* Upper cashier
* Lower cashier

If you purchase ten regular Poké Balls at a time, you will get a free Premier Ball.

When you step outside the Pokémon Center, your mom and Hugh's sister come to talk to you. After your mom greets Bianca, she gives you the Running Shoes! Now if you hold the 🅑 button while walking, you can move faster than usual.

Hugh's sister gives you the Town Map. Now you can see your current location, as well as all the cities and routes in the Unova region and how they connect to one another. Hugh's sister will give you two Town Maps and asks you to give the extra one to Hugh. Bianca tells you she will show you how to catch Pokémon. Head north into the gate leading to Route 19.

The girl in the house east of the outlook just before the gate will mention want to give you something, but she can't find it, so you'll have to come back a bit later.

Inside the gate, the woman at the southern desk notices you now have a Pokémon and will give you a Potion. Inside gates, you can view the electronic bulletin boards. They display information like the features of nearby cities and the current weather. Take a minute to check it out to get some tips and information about the upcoming routes. After this, go through the gate's north exit onto Route 19.

## Route 19

Bianca is waiting for you on Route 19. She'll demonstrate how to catch wild Pokémon by catching a wild Purrloin that is hiding in the tall grass. She also shows you how it becomes registered in the Pokédex. She'll say to head east to get to the next town, Floccesy Town.

Go east through the first patch of grass, then north to the next patch to pick up a Potion. The Youngster nearby will show you how to jump off ledges as a one-way shortcut.

While on your way to Floccesy Town, a man with red hair will call down to you from atop the northern cliff. He is named Alder. Alder was the Unova region's Champion two years ago. He has since retired to his residence in Floccesy Town. He says he will help train your Pokémon, and will then leave for Floccesy Town. Follow him there.

## Floccesy Town

In Floccesy Town, you can find Alder's house and a Pokémon Center. In the center of town, you'll also find the clock tower, for which the town is famous.

Just past the Pokémon Center, you'll see Alder. He says his house is just a little farther. He will tell you to stop by the Pokémon Center first. Inside the Pokémon Center, you can visit the Poké Mart like before in Aspertia City. The items sold are exactly the same as they were there.

* Upper cashier
* Lower cashier

Go to the house just east of the Pokémon Center and the old man there will give you a Potion.

When you run into Alder at the north part of town, he'll ask you why you have two Town Maps. After hearing your explanation, he'll tell you that Hugh was seen training his Pokémon on Route 20 to the east. Alder will not let you go past him until you deliver the Town Map to Hugh. Head east now to get to Route 20.
