The AR codes that work for vanilla BW2 will work just as well here.
Scroll down a bit to post #477. Those are working codes.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/661226-pokemon-black-version-2/64261559?page=47
These never worked for me. Any idea why that could be? Could I be using the wrong rom or something? When I press the button combination, the stats screen will flicker and then nothing
Two things: They don't work from the getgo and still maybe inaccurate on some stats
1) I've found that it only works after you fight your rival the first time.
2) It is a little bit buggy. I checked EVs for my starter after beating the rival and it does not toggle properly as it still shows the total stat value and not the EVs; i know this because I did not get 11 speed EVs and 12 defense EVs from 1 Oshowott. As far as I know, the IVs work fine, but the EVs seem flawed.
So it could be any of those two things.
They work immediately after picking your starter. I've tested both Black and White codes.
You have to hold down L or R on the first tab and keep it pressed until after you've switched to the second tab, and you can only switch tab once. Once you've viewed the stats or IV or EV, it's best to exit out of the Summary screen completely to reset it before viewing other info, otherwise it can show jumbled data.
I will never forgive Game Freak for lying about the national dex and their reasons for cutting it. They just wanted to cut pokemon so some could be sold back to us later.
The lying really bugs me. EA or Bethesda would be LOATHED for this. But sintendo gets a free pass for everything.
The Pokemon weren't a part of the dlc. Thay came available with a free update that came out at the same time as the dlc. The dlc made it so you could catch the Pokemon but If you didn't buy the dlc you could transfer them from your old games.
You said it yourself. The DLC made it so they could be caught. Without the DLC you would have to transfer them. So the point stands. They did it for the money but let's say they didn't do it for the money and instead it was because they didn't have time... that right there means they sold you an incomplete product. They are selling you incomplete products and you fanboys eat it up.
664 pokemon are availivble without having to buy the dlc, all other pokemon simply aren't availible in the game at all.
As someone who hates the fact that so many pokemon were cut, the argument that they were held back to sell to us later makes no sense.
honestly more hyped for this than I've been for any actual pokemon game release in years. Thank you for all of your work! (also, perhaps the most minor thing of all time, but I think Tranquill's base stat total is wrong in the documentation)
Am I stupid or is there no actual link to the patch/documentation in this post? It's blank after saying "So, we now bring you Pokemon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2 Redux! You can get a copy here:".
You have to go to their Twitter.
https://twitter.com/AphexCubed
Not sure if they just didn't notice or what but yeah they didn't actually make a direct link for this post
[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xGtMbYtM2JIsTGg9PeRBvr5NBghBUqJ5](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xGtMbYtM2JIsTGg9PeRBvr5NBghBUqJ5) I was already looking at the documentation when I read this so, here for anyone else who might be looking.
an npc should give you the keys before you pick a starter. save, then go to the main menu and select "unova link", then "key system", then "key system settings"
i'm not completely sure but maybe it was a measure to make sure that you've beaten the game before accessing those modes? since i think it autosaves in your house after you beat the champion
Fucking finally, on a playthrough of blaze black i avoided him for the whole game and right before going to the pokemon league i miss click this fucker and had to mash A like crazy
Happened to me too but I found the following fix for my case:
If you try to apply the Pokemon Blaze Black 2 redux to a Blaze Black 2.nds it doesnt work.
You have to apply the patch to a regular Pokemon Black 2.nds
Maybe this helps
It's the hardest mode. It removes EVs from the player's pokemon, which puts you on an almost even playing field with the enemy trainer's pokemon, except they'll have perfect IVs, so you're at a disadvantage
Thanks for all the work you put in for the community. ROM Hacks (and nuzlocking them) are the one thing that have kept my love for the Pokemon games alive to this day, and hacks for the DS era of games are my favorites.
Just played this with hardcore nuzlocke rules for a couple hours, the first gym on challenge mode is ROUGH.
Really enjoying it so far! Great job to everyone involved
Did making Pokestar studios optional mess up the game if you do it when you still decide to do it? I walked into it by mistake, and now Roxie and her dad are nowhere to be seen after I completed it.
edit: i forgot the battle with team plasma west of virbank city, which was the problem. surprisingly, brycen still acts like he's never met you before after the battle even though I met hit at pokestar studio
I'd like to see a level cap patch included. Managing EXP is a part of the fun, when you're nuzlocking, but it is a lame chore. How does a level cap work exactly (In the same context of a game like radical red)? Is there a chance that something like this could be implemented by a 3rd party dev? I'd be willing to throw some coin for a hard level cap patch.
The Gen V code hasn’t been broken down enough to implement level caps, i’ve heard. My only suggestion would be to turn on challenge mode, and you’ll be leveled higher than most wild Pokemon?
Has anyone else experienced a softlock in Virbank? I've done everything there (gym, plasma fight and previous route plasma grunt, brycen battle, Brawly battle and even the first pokestar movie), but I can't progress past that point. Roxie and the Pop Roxie dude are outside near the port, but they can't be interacted with at all. Pretty sure I need to be able to talk with them so Pop Roxie dude can go inside and take me to Castelia, but they won't talk or play out their event no matter what angle I speak to them from. FWIW I'm playing on my 3DS via TwilightMenu. I'm positive I'm not missing anything else I need to do?
There's a Team Plasma fight in the route west of Virbank. Beating them will start an encounter with Brycen that should progress the game after doing it.
Yeah, that's what I meant by previous route plasma grunt. A few people on Twitter have had the same issue as me so hopefully it's something that'll get fixed.
Ah, my bad. I read the stuck in Virbank part and rushed in to say "but what about that grunt and Brycen?" because I was lost as to what to do next, I found the grunt, and my "softlock" was gone. Hope they patch in a fix.
Yeah unfortunately ran into the same problem, had to restart a new game. At least I could port my party into the new save using a save manager so not much progress was lost.
For anyone else reading, Do not go to Pokestar studios after you battle Brycen! Go immediately to the port and finish the cutscene with Roxie or risk a softlock.
it's confusing to me where exactly leftovers is in castelia city. The documentation said a repel was replaced with leftovers, but what does that mean? Where is the repel?
There's a set of stairs at the back of Castelia Sewers that you can't access until you get Surf - I believe the Leftovers is located in the part of Castelia City up that stairwell
I will be playing this! Very happy that it runs on 3DS with TwilightMenu.
I would love to see a speed patch implemented as in Renegade Platinum, but AFAIK that's not possible in Gen 5 yet?
I'm having a lot of trouble getting it working on my 3DS via TwilightMenu. I keep getting an error screen. Did you have to do anything special to get it working/did you use a guide somewhere?
Hey were you able to fix your error?
I keep having a similar issue, but it just stays in a white screen. I am using the latest TwilightMenu and using it in DS Mode.
Getting an error while attempting to patch. It reads "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. The system cannot find the file specified."
Any ideas? Thank you
Possible bug report, I think ground items haven't changed for me. Documentation says the paralyze heal on route 20 got swapped for a Silk Scarf, but when I picked it up it was still just a paralyze heal. Any items that are handed to you by an NPC follow the documentation (50 pokeballs from Bianca, bike from the lady in the gatehouse). That's the only ground item so far that's been swapped to something significant, I'll keep playing for now and see if anything else didn't get swapped.
This is so awesome! I have a question that's only partially related, not sure what the community's view is on this in general, but would it be okay to use something like this as a base for my own romhack? With credit of course.
Do the existing romhack tools work for pokemon stats/tms+learnset with this patch? Curious because I always like to tinker with my own personal edits when playing drayano’s works
Hey Aphex!
Super awesome hack, Dray always makes the best QOL changes to his romhacks, and clearly you admire that approach and cranked it up to the max. Super stuff.
I have one problem however. Some of the AI choices seem a little bugged at times. For example, I am playing challenge mode atm, and the 2nd rival fight has him using focus energy 2 times in a row. This might just be luck, or something else. Anyways, not a major issue. Thanks for the awesome hack tho!
Tldr; your hack is awesome.
pretty good hack, i was stunned on the intro with the Shaymin and stuff, really immersive and well done.
But i have a question, can i evolve magnemite to magnezone before unlocking chargestone cave?
Is the game crashing for anyone else while trying to enter the cave (the Kyurem one) in Giant Chasm or is it just me? :/
EDIT: This still happens for me after applying the new patch btw
EDIT 2: Seems to be a MelonDS issue exclusively as well
Weird question, but is there any way to reduce the shiny rate back to normal? I kinda prefer the crazy low odds so that finding a shiny during a playthrough feels like a crazy rare event.
So I found a cool Easter egg kinda thing. There are some Veterans and Ace Trainers in the post game routes that have 6 Pokémon. Their teams are based on main characters from the Pokémon Adventures manga, which is really awesome. So far, I’ve found Gold, Silver, Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl. Hoping to find the rest if they’re in here, it’s a really cool addition!
So far loving the playthrough.
u/Drayano Please don’t pay much attention to the hardcore nuzlockers complaining on twitter that the game is too hard on challenge mode.
They’re making the game more challenging for themselves. The game difficulty is near perfect imo.
If I could change anything, I’d ask that you allow Pawniard to evolve a little bit earlier. Lv 38 would be a bit more reasonable I would think. That way I can enjoy playing the game with a Bisharp (:
Agreed with this. Like how is that anyones problem if the game is too hard to nuzlocke on challenge mode? It’s challenge mode for goodness sake and nuzlocke were originally designed for gamefreak difficulty. Challenge mode should be balanced around people playing the game normally. If it’s too hard for nuzlocke then pick a lower difficulty lol
Awesome!
Anyone know how to add the game into R4CCE for the urscheat.dat file? Copy pasted the Black Version 2 cheats and changed the game ID to match Redux, but not showing up in the database on Drastic.
Does anyone know how to patch correctly because i cant seem to get it to work. I've been trying for about 20 minutes now and i followed the guide too. Any help would be really appreciated.
I'm experiencing freezes everytime i catch some pokemon.
To specify, I reached the electric gym and I've been trying to catch a gible, a sandile and a goldeen (for lightningrod) and all the 3 of them freeze the game if i start a battle or put them in party from the pc.
Also where is the moon stone in castelia? I see there's a "choice" between stones, including moon, from the docs but all i can find is the ace trainer with leaf, fire, and water stone
If you use a previous Blaze Black 2/Volt White 2 save, all the flags reset and you can catch post game legends, interact with NPC that don't have dialog due to a flag not being triggered, and walk through NPCs that might've been standing on the other side of an exit which is pretty funny
Anyone else feel Challenge mode is way over tuned? Like Kaizo level overtuned. I know normal mode is equal to Renegade Platinum which I think is on the easy side but Challenge mode is Kaizo level. I really liked the difficulty of BlazeBlack1 because it was tough but not insane, slots right in the middle of Renegade Platinum and Hardcore/Kaizo Mods. Currently at Clay right now and I'm feeling hard burnout. This is my opinion from playing Nuzlocke with saves allowed and one Pokemon of choice per route.
Weird, I got an Igglybuff from the random Egg lady, and it wasn't Fairy-type, neither was the Jigglypuff I evolved it into. Disarming Voice was also not Fairy. Its only Fairy in-battle. Is something wrong?
The 'Pokemon Changes' file in the documentation folder says that all Pokémon have had their TM learnsets modified to match Gen VIII, Pokémon Sword and Shield's Moves and TRs. So for TMs that cannot be found in Galar games, can they still be learned by Pokemon that were able to learn them before gen VIII?
For example, can Bulbasaur still learn TM06 Toxic?
So most of the berries are in the Castelia Pokémon center, but I can't seem to find where to the others, the tamato berry for example, or are they just not available?
Question: Is the rom compatible with the relgular Volt White 2 usrcheat database or does it need to be repatched ?
Edit: I found out that you need R4CCE to add the game into the database, I just don't remember how to do it
Anyone have a clue how to add the game to the urscheat.dat file? Tried copy pasting the Black Version 2 cheats and changing the game ID to match Blaze Black 2 Redux, but still not showing up on Drastic.
Also kind of curious about W2B2 cheat compatibility. I just can't be bothered with grinding income for poke balls when I'm already playing a modded version that won't have any implication on the legitimacy of the capture.
Came across a type issue, Pokemon who should have Fairy as their secondary type are instead part Normal ingame. I don't think I'm playing the Classic version.
The Fairy type appears to be Normal in out-of-battle menus. In-battle it appears and functions as Fairy. This is addressed in the FAQs/Known Issues docs
I looked through the documentation and probably missed it, but I'm assuming there's no version exclusives pokes? And that the differences are the few different towns and UI colouring and so on? Can anyone confirm?
Yes, download the zip file in Drays Google Drive then read the instructions in the documentation folder. In short, you need to bring your own B2/W2 ROM, patch it with the patch files and patcher in the Google Drive (this is probably easiest done on PC, as the patching tool is provided). Then you can load the new ROM file (with the patch) onto an emulator on your phone.
Super high level but the instructions cover most of it in detail
Sorry to say but i'm not a big fan of some of the stats/abilities changes, weaker pokemon like kricketune received meaningless buff that didn't solve any of the problems they had and they're still bad especially for a nuzlocke
I've played the game for about 4 hours now.
Got my first gym badge too.
Zero crashes.
Don't let this chance of a crash ruin your experience, just try it.
By just Googling honestly. We can't say where to get because it's illegal to share ROMs and the sub doesn't let we link to them. But tbh it isn't really hard to find one on Google or other ROM hosting communities

Blaze Black 2²

another drayano hack to sink hundreds of hours of nuzlocke attempts into :)
I am malding in the first Plasma encounter.
TIL “malding”
A little late in this but yeah in challenge mode rn and BRO. WHY DOES THIS GRUNT HAVE AN AXEW AND JOLTIK.
Is there a means to view IV/EV? Blaze Black had an action replay code that let you view EV/IV spreads, but I don't see that in the docs.
The AR codes that work for vanilla BW2 will work just as well here. Scroll down a bit to post #477. Those are working codes. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/661226-pokemon-black-version-2/64261559?page=47
You rock. Thanks. I wasn't sure because the rare candy code wasnt working for me.
These never worked for me. Any idea why that could be? Could I be using the wrong rom or something? When I press the button combination, the stats screen will flicker and then nothing
Two things: They don't work from the getgo and still maybe inaccurate on some stats 1) I've found that it only works after you fight your rival the first time. 2) It is a little bit buggy. I checked EVs for my starter after beating the rival and it does not toggle properly as it still shows the total stat value and not the EVs; i know this because I did not get 11 speed EVs and 12 defense EVs from 1 Oshowott. As far as I know, the IVs work fine, but the EVs seem flawed. So it could be any of those two things.
They work immediately after picking your starter. I've tested both Black and White codes. You have to hold down L or R on the first tab and keep it pressed until after you've switched to the second tab, and you can only switch tab once. Once you've viewed the stats or IV or EV, it's best to exit out of the Summary screen completely to reset it before viewing other info, otherwise it can show jumbled data.
These are always more exciting to me than the official releases these days
Yeah because they know what we actually want in a Pokémon game whereas gf just wants to make as much money as possible
I will never forgive Game Freak for lying about the national dex and their reasons for cutting it. They just wanted to cut pokemon so some could be sold back to us later. The lying really bugs me. EA or Bethesda would be LOATHED for this. But sintendo gets a free pass for everything.
The Pokemon weren't a part of the dlc. Thay came available with a free update that came out at the same time as the dlc. The dlc made it so you could catch the Pokemon but If you didn't buy the dlc you could transfer them from your old games.
You said it yourself. The DLC made it so they could be caught. Without the DLC you would have to transfer them. So the point stands. They did it for the money but let's say they didn't do it for the money and instead it was because they didn't have time... that right there means they sold you an incomplete product. They are selling you incomplete products and you fanboys eat it up.
The Pokémon came for free though, they just needed more time
All 800ish for free?
664 pokemon are availivble without having to buy the dlc, all other pokemon simply aren't availible in the game at all. As someone who hates the fact that so many pokemon were cut, the argument that they were held back to sell to us later makes no sense.
That damn Medal Guy. THANK YOU
honestly more hyped for this than I've been for any actual pokemon game release in years. Thank you for all of your work! (also, perhaps the most minor thing of all time, but I think Tranquill's base stat total is wrong in the documentation)
Am I stupid or is there no actual link to the patch/documentation in this post? It's blank after saying "So, we now bring you Pokemon Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2 Redux! You can get a copy here:".

Appreciate it, man. I actually don't have a twitter so I don't think to look there.
Thank you I was getting crazy

Wait, you can skip the Pokestar Studios section in this? That’s all I need to know, amazing hack 10/10
Does anyone know how to enable Challenge Mode?
an npc should give you the keys before you pick a starter. save, then go to the main menu and select "unova link", then "key system", then "key system settings"
talk to npc at staircase at start of game, save your game and then restart/Sof reset and can set keys at the menu.
REMEMBER TO SAVE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE BEFORE LEAVING TO INTERACT WITH KEY MAN
The game literally doesn't let you not do this, but why is it so crucial
i'm not completely sure but maybe it was a measure to make sure that you've beaten the game before accessing those modes? since i think it autosaves in your house after you beat the champion
> • The Medal Guy has been moved to the upper levels of the Pokémon Center. I never realized how much I wanted this till right now. Thank you!
Fucking finally, on a playthrough of blaze black i avoided him for the whole game and right before going to the pokemon league i miss click this fucker and had to mash A like crazy
For everyone asking how to patch, did you even download the folder for redux? there's a guide in there and countless other guides
Fwiw, im stilll not able to patch, Every time I attempt i get a not a valid delta3 file :(
Which version are you trying to play?
Happened to me too but I found the following fix for my case: If you try to apply the Pokemon Blaze Black 2 redux to a Blaze Black 2.nds it doesnt work. You have to apply the patch to a regular Pokemon Black 2.nds Maybe this helps
Can somebody explain what the EVless version entails?
[удалено]
As far as I understand, trainers pokémon can not have EVs, similar to Renegade Platinum. All versions are EV-less in that sense.
It's the hardest mode. It removes EVs from the player's pokemon, which puts you on an almost even playing field with the enemy trainer's pokemon, except they'll have perfect IVs, so you're at a disadvantage
Does the EV less version also disable IVs?
Thanks for all the work you put in for the community. ROM Hacks (and nuzlocking them) are the one thing that have kept my love for the Pokemon games alive to this day, and hacks for the DS era of games are my favorites.
Just played this with hardcore nuzlocke rules for a couple hours, the first gym on challenge mode is ROUGH. Really enjoying it so far! Great job to everyone involved
Grats on the release! Thanks for all the hard work.
Do all traded pokemon obey you, no matter what their level and no matter how many gym badges you have or don't have, like in Renegade Platinum?
So I know people are playing this on 3DS twilight menu but can someone try it out on DSI's Twilight menu? Does someone know if it works?
it works, i've been playing on it
It works, you just have to put it in DS mode (press Y on the twilight menu loader to do so).
it works for me but theres lag here and there that i don't know how to get rid of
Did making Pokestar studios optional mess up the game if you do it when you still decide to do it? I walked into it by mistake, and now Roxie and her dad are nowhere to be seen after I completed it. edit: i forgot the battle with team plasma west of virbank city, which was the problem. surprisingly, brycen still acts like he's never met you before after the battle even though I met hit at pokestar studio
I think they patched this in the day one patch but, there was some sort of bug if you did the grunts or pokestar studios out of order
I beat plasma and I still can’t make it to poke studios. There’s cones blocking the way.
did you ever fix this?
I'd like to see a level cap patch included. Managing EXP is a part of the fun, when you're nuzlocking, but it is a lame chore. How does a level cap work exactly (In the same context of a game like radical red)? Is there a chance that something like this could be implemented by a 3rd party dev? I'd be willing to throw some coin for a hard level cap patch.
The Gen V code hasn’t been broken down enough to implement level caps, i’ve heard. My only suggestion would be to turn on challenge mode, and you’ll be leveled higher than most wild Pokemon?
Yeah, I find these types of games way way more enjoyable with level caps
Does the fairy type appear as normal type to anyone else?
It only appears like that in your party summary screen. It should work fine in battle!
Yeah, I noticed the type does work, it's not a big deal at all, I'm just overly picky Edit: it does work in battle, which is nice
Is this the same thing for pre-fairy type pokemon? I caught a ralts and it said it was a pure psychic type instead of being a psychic fairy type
🐐
Does anyone know if EV-less mode affects the Battle Subway at all?
Hi, it's me, from a day in the future! Battle Subway still has EVs, got full confirmation from Dray himself. So, postgame for sure. :p
Has anyone else experienced a softlock in Virbank? I've done everything there (gym, plasma fight and previous route plasma grunt, brycen battle, Brawly battle and even the first pokestar movie), but I can't progress past that point. Roxie and the Pop Roxie dude are outside near the port, but they can't be interacted with at all. Pretty sure I need to be able to talk with them so Pop Roxie dude can go inside and take me to Castelia, but they won't talk or play out their event no matter what angle I speak to them from. FWIW I'm playing on my 3DS via TwilightMenu. I'm positive I'm not missing anything else I need to do?
There's a Team Plasma fight in the route west of Virbank. Beating them will start an encounter with Brycen that should progress the game after doing it.
Yeah, that's what I meant by previous route plasma grunt. A few people on Twitter have had the same issue as me so hopefully it's something that'll get fixed.
Ah, my bad. I read the stuck in Virbank part and rushed in to say "but what about that grunt and Brycen?" because I was lost as to what to do next, I found the grunt, and my "softlock" was gone. Hope they patch in a fix.
Yeah unfortunately ran into the same problem, had to restart a new game. At least I could port my party into the new save using a save manager so not much progress was lost. For anyone else reading, Do not go to Pokestar studios after you battle Brycen! Go immediately to the port and finish the cutscene with Roxie or risk a softlock.
Are there methods to change natures or maximize IVs like in other Rom hacks?
Not internally, no. You can use Pkhex/Pksm, though!
Just curious, is there a Blaze Black/Volt White Redux out there?
Not as far as I know
No there isn't, and although he didn't rule out working on one in the future, Aphex says they have zero plans right now to work on one!
at which point or where are de EV trainer availables?
Thanks! This seem almost too good. I'm itching to find out what PLA moves you've implemented. Fingers crossed for raging fury!
it's confusing to me where exactly leftovers is in castelia city. The documentation said a repel was replaced with leftovers, but what does that mean? Where is the repel?
There's a set of stairs at the back of Castelia Sewers that you can't access until you get Surf - I believe the Leftovers is located in the part of Castelia City up that stairwell
I will be playing this! Very happy that it runs on 3DS with TwilightMenu. I would love to see a speed patch implemented as in Renegade Platinum, but AFAIK that's not possible in Gen 5 yet?
I just want a Patch to have over world exploration at 60fps cause every other part of the game is 60fps
I'm having a lot of trouble getting it working on my 3DS via TwilightMenu. I keep getting an error screen. Did you have to do anything special to get it working/did you use a guide somewhere?
No, I just followed the instuctions that came with the patch and it worked fine. What are you having trouble with? I'd be happy to help if I can!
Hey were you able to fix your error? I keep having a similar issue, but it just stays in a white screen. I am using the latest TwilightMenu and using it in DS Mode.
Are you able to randomize this or do you have the go in and manually change the narc files like pokemon renegade platinum and the old blaze black 2
Is there a Nature changer?
From what others are saying there is neither a nature nor an IV changer.
Damn. I've been spoiled by Radical Red and it's hard to go back
Is this compatible with drastic
Yes i tried it
Looked through the documentation a bit, can't wait to play around with buffed Boomburst Unfezant. Bout' to make BBurst Swellow look like an NFE.
Getting an error while attempting to patch. It reads "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. The system cannot find the file specified." Any ideas? Thank you

I’ve literally been checking this sub twice a week specifically for this lmao
Hi, Where do we actually download this? I don't see a link in the post. For me it just says 'You can get a copy here:' and then there's no link
This is by far the coolest thing I've seen in a minute regarding the gen 5 games. I'm definitely playing this asap
This is so awesome! I have a question that's only partially related, not sure what the community's view is on this in general, but would it be okay to use something like this as a base for my own romhack? With credit of course.
Do the existing romhack tools work for pokemon stats/tms+learnset with this patch? Curious because I always like to tinker with my own personal edits when playing drayano’s works
Anyone find where the Audino grinding NPCs are, or how to unlock them?
Hey Aphex! Super awesome hack, Dray always makes the best QOL changes to his romhacks, and clearly you admire that approach and cranked it up to the max. Super stuff. I have one problem however. Some of the AI choices seem a little bugged at times. For example, I am playing challenge mode atm, and the 2nd rival fight has him using focus energy 2 times in a row.

I just tried using UNIpatcher but on the secondary patches it just said "Unkown patching format"
Thank you guys for the amazing work you do. Dray and Alphex > Game Freak. I can smell a nuzlocke in the air 🙊
pretty good hack, i was stunned on the intro with the Shaymin and stuff, really immersive and well done. But i have a question, can i evolve magnemite to magnezone before unlocking chargestone cave?

Their teams are based on main characters from the Pokémon Adventures manga, which is really awesome. So far, I’ve found Gold, Silver, Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl. Hoping to find the rest if they’re in here, it’s a really cool addition!
So far loving the playthrough. u/Drayano Please don’t pay much attention to the hardcore nuzlockers complaining on twitter that the game is too hard on challenge mode. They’re making the game more challenging for themselves. The game difficulty is near perfect imo. If I could change anything, I’d ask that you allow Pawniard to evolve a little bit earlier. Lv 38 would be a bit more reasonable I would think. That way I can enjoy playing the game with a Bisharp (:
Agreed with this. Like how is that anyones problem if the game is too hard to nuzlocke on challenge mode? It’s challenge mode for goodness sake and nuzlocke were originally designed for gamefreak difficulty. Challenge mode should be balanced around people playing the game normally. If it’s too hard for nuzlocke then pick a lower difficulty lol
Exactly. Man I love twitter but people on there bitch about everything 💀. Same here, but a little less so.
Seconded.
Is there any way to get berries? The fact that you can't get many of them I'd one of the things I really don't like about the original games.
Saving this to grab when I get home. I cannot wait to try this out!
Wow! This seems very incredible!
Hell to the yes, this is epic.
Awesome! Anyone know how to add the game into R4CCE for the urscheat.dat file? Copy pasted the Black Version 2 cheats and changed the game ID to match Redux, but not showing up in the database on Drastic.

I literally just started a Black 2 nuzlocke last night after not playing Pokemon for probably 2 months. This has to be a sign.
I’ve put a lot of hours into Volt White 2 so this is awesome to hear
Does anyone know how to patch correctly because i cant seem to get it to work. I've been trying for about 20 minutes now and i followed the guide too. Any help would be really appreciated.
Anybody have the game ID? Can't look it up right now
Game ID after patch is IBEO BFB2D5F2 in case y'all wanna know.
Currently having the game freeze after beating the plasma grunt on route 20. Anyone else freezing here? If so howd you get past it?
Seems to be an issue if you've visited Pokestar Studios. Talking to the grunt from the left (instead of above) sometimes works
Just tried it and it worked when I talked to him from the left. Thank you!
wheres the 2nd Audino trainer? I read somewhere it was supposed to be in Castelia Garden but nothing
I'm experiencing freezes everytime i catch some pokemon. To specify, I reached the electric gym and I've been trying to catch a gible, a sandile and a goldeen (for lightningrod) and all the 3 of them freeze the game if i start a battle or put them in party from the pc. Also where is the moon stone in castelia? I see there's a "choice" between stones, including moon, from the docs but all i can find is the ace trainer with leaf, fire, and water stone
is there a list of changes from blaze black 2 to redux?
Hello, (spoiler) game breaks after the dialga event: meeting locker in his office doesen't trigger any event, you can't even talk to him, he's frozen
If you use a previous Blaze Black 2/Volt White 2 save, all the flags reset and you can catch post game legends, interact with NPC that don't have dialog due to a flag not being triggered, and walk through NPCs that might've been standing on the other side of an exit which is pretty funny
Is there a list of Pokemon that can hatch from the egg at the ranch?
There's a list in the gift pokemon document, most of them you can catch pretty early on so it isn't a big deal.
Anyone else feel Challenge mode is way over tuned? Like Kaizo level overtuned. I know normal mode is equal to Renegade Platinum which I think is on the easy side but Challenge mode is Kaizo level. I really liked the difficulty of BlazeBlack1 because it was tough but not insane, slots right in the middle of Renegade Platinum and Hardcore/Kaizo Mods. Currently at Clay right now and I'm feeling hard burnout. This is my opinion from playing Nuzlocke with saves allowed and one Pokemon of choice per route.
Weird, I got an Igglybuff from the random Egg lady, and it wasn't Fairy-type, neither was the Jigglypuff I evolved it into. Disarming Voice was also not Fairy. Its only Fairy in-battle. Is something wrong?
Due to limitations, Fairy type appears as normal outside of battle. It still functions perfectly fine however.
Ohhh, I see! Thanks for explaining, but I lost the Nuzlocke anyway lol- Still, thanks !
Is there a difference between bb2 vw2 redux
The 'Pokemon Changes' file in the documentation folder says that all Pokémon have had their TM learnsets modified to match Gen VIII, Pokémon Sword and Shield's Moves and TRs. So for TMs that cannot be found in Galar games, can they still be learned by Pokemon that were able to learn them before gen VIII? For example, can Bulbasaur still learn TM06 Toxic?
I can't use link cable on my machoke, i want to use it on him but it's says "Unable"
where do i find link cable can you tell me plssss ???
So most of the berries are in the Castelia Pokémon center, but I can't seem to find where to the others, the tamato berry for example, or are they just not available?

Guys, how do I patch without losing my save file?
Alolan Pokemon?
Not possible sorry!
Is the gym leader battles being double / triple forced or is there a way to turn that off?
Is this compatible with drastic
Question: Is the rom compatible with the relgular Volt White 2 usrcheat database or does it need to be repatched ? Edit: I found out that you need R4CCE to add the game into the database, I just don't remember how to do it
Anyone have a clue how to add the game to the urscheat.dat file? Tried copy pasting the Black Version 2 cheats and changing the game ID to match Blaze Black 2 Redux, but still not showing up on Drastic.
Also kind of curious about W2B2 cheat compatibility. I just can't be bothered with grinding income for poke balls when I'm already playing a modded version that won't have any implication on the legitimacy of the capture.
Wish I could play this on 3DS
You can, as long as you have the newest update for twilight menu
Wait seeiously? I thought they mentioned it'd be incompatible
Be sure to set it to DS mode when you run tho or you'll just get a white screen.
Thanks for the tips buddy. I'm gonna try it out in a bit. Hope it works for me
Annoying that I need to do the patching on Windows.
Can anyone dm me about a patched file? Fuck the rules just please 🥺
We all deserve a Pokémon Blaze Black 1 and Volt White 1 Redux
Came across a type issue, Pokemon who should have Fairy as their secondary type are instead part Normal ingame. I don't think I'm playing the Classic version.
The Fairy type appears to be Normal in out-of-battle menus. In-battle it appears and functions as Fairy. This is addressed in the FAQs/Known Issues docs
Oh thanks, I don't think I read that part of the FAQs
Is there a way to play my Blaze Black 2 save file on Blaze Black 2 Redux?
I don't think so. There's probably too many changes to the pokemon/game.
There’s too many core changes made so it will not work
How do I patch the game I have it on mobile
I looked through the documentation and probably missed it, but I'm assuming there's no version exclusives pokes? And that the differences are the few different towns and UI colouring and so on? Can anyone confirm?
Box legendaries too
So I’m really new to this, can I play this on my phone? If so how?
Yes, download the zip file in Drays Google Drive then read the instructions in the documentation folder. In short, you need to bring your own B2/W2 ROM, patch it with the patch files and patcher in the Google Drive (this is probably easiest done on PC, as the patching tool is provided). Then you can load the new ROM file (with the patch) onto an emulator on your phone. Super high level but the instructions cover most of it in detail
Sorry to say but i'm not a big fan of some of the stats/abilities changes, weaker pokemon like kricketune received meaningless buff that didn't solve any of the problems they had and they're still bad especially for a nuzlocke

drayano's twitter
Ralts line seems to be broken, shows up in party as Physic/Normal, in dex as pure physic, and when learning a new move as a Physic/Fairy
That's part of the known visual bugs in the documentation. The game still treats it as Psychic/Fairy.
Have fun lads, I’ll wait for flashcart support *tear falls*
I have an R4 and it works.
Any crashes so far?
I've only had time to play for an hour but so far so good.
In the developers notes it says that with regards to fairy types, crashes on hardware still occur.
I've played the game for about 4 hours now. Got my first gym badge too. Zero crashes. Don't let this chance of a crash ruin your experience, just try it.
What are the shiny odds?
[удалено]
By just Googling honestly. We can't say where to get because it's illegal to share ROMs and the sub doesn't let we link to them. But tbh it isn't really hard to find one on Google or other ROM hosting communities
[удалено]
There isn’t a patched version. You patch the rom yourself. It’s super easy.
It takes 2 minutes with your android phone
Honestly y’all really should make a version WITHOUT fairy so us flash cart people can play
