Yes, by your local time I think you live in North America and B2W2 release in that continent on 7 October.

So where would I go to pre-order it online?

Any website which sells video games such as Gamestop (here is the main page for preordering Pokemon Black and White 2 on the Gamestop webiste) or Amazon (see these links for Black 2 and White 2). I live in the UK so I don't know many chain stores in the USA which sell video games.

If there was some sort of pre-order-related event, would it matter where I pre-order it from?

Hello everyone. I got a Keldeo with a Timid nature that has "Very Finicky" characteristics. I've EV trained him like 4 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed before leveling him up and even before learning Sacred Sword. I can teach him to learn Secret Sword at Moon of Icurris. Do you think it would be wise to wait until Black 2 and White 2 come out? Or do I have Keldeo learned that Secret Sword move before transfer him to Black 2 and White 2? You see, I like for him to transform into his Resolution Form. Let me know when you have the chance. Thank you.

Yes, it would depend on which store the pre-order event happens. I don't know if there are any stores in the US where a free item will be given for preordering the games and I've haven't seen any in the UK yet so there may not be one this time. In the UK GAME and Gamestation stores usually give promotional items for preordering Pokémon games such as a Giratina figure for Platinum, a Ho-oh or Lugia figure for HeartGold or SoulSilver and an A3 poster for Black and White versions. In the US GameStop stores often hold Pokémon events so that store may give a promotional item for preordering.

how long does it take to show results? My kyrum didint get anything and neither did my cobalion wen i was leveling up on boldores. I never was good wen it came to ev's I'm terrible in that area lol.

You will only really notice a difference when you compare it to other pokémon of the same species

Well, Power Bracer gives you EVs in Attack, and Boldore gives you EVs in Attack AND Defense, so you kind of messed up there =/...

I got a question that has been bugging me for some time

Is there any way to get a Surfing pikachu in gen V or on another game (besides pokemon stadium) without hacking it?

You can not legitimately get a Surfing Pikachu in Gen 5.

So what about Gen IV then or any of the older games?

In Generation IV you can get a Surfing Pikachu in HeartGold and SoulSilver if you downloaded the Pokéwalker route Yellow Forest at the time of the Wi-Fi distribution or in Pokémon Battle Revolution after beating all Colosseum Leaders. In Generation III you can get a Surfing Pichu in Pokémon BOX: Ruby and Sapphire by depositing 1499 Pokémon from one game. The PokéTransfer Lab doesn't allow Pokémon with HM moves to be transferred.

Could I just delete the HM move from Box r/s then trade it to SS then to b/w?

No because the Surfing Pikachu would not be able to learn Surf again by the HM in BW. Event only moves can't be remembered if they are forgotten which is why I didn't change the moves of my Movie 12 Arceus which knows Shadow Force, Spacial Rend, Roar of Time and Judgement.

Hello I just like to ask you if this is right to have EV 252 for Attack. If a pokemon gets 10 Proteins, which can give it 100EVs, and then equip him with a macho brace. Then defeat 76 Lilpups/Patrats, will that be 252EVs for the Attack? And if I give 10 Carbos, then equip it with a macho brace, then defeat 38 Basclins, will that be 252EVs for Speed? Let me know when you have the time. Please and thank you.

Yep that's correct. If you give a Pokemon 10 proteins, equip the Macho brace and defeat 76 Patrat or Lillipup, you'll gain 252 Attack EVs. Same with the 10 Carbos, Macho Brace and defeating 38 Basculin, which will give the Pokemon 252 Speed EVs.

Ok. Thank you so much. EV training might come in handy in the Wi-Fi battles, the Battle Subway battles, the Video Games Championship battles, and the Pokemon World Tournament battles. Don't you think?
