They beat DP, GS and RBG easily, really. I'm still at odds about whether or not RSE are topped by these two and that's prolly gonna last 'cause Emerald's been giving me five years of constant playthroughs and it's gonna take me a while to test whether they can do the same. Also, I'm looking forward to the third version to see if it'll be boring like Platinum, mediocre like Crystal or fantastic like Yellow and Emerald. Hopefully they'll make the remakes  this generation more interesting as well.

you need to learn the art of Audino training

Once i encounter an Audino, i'll get on that.

It isn't that hard to find one, if you force it.

You just need to run right besides a patch of grass until you see a spot of grass shaking. It may take a couple of seconds or a minute, but it will happen. Make sure that if the shaking grass is far inside the patch of grass, to use a Repel, because if you get into a random fight before getting to the shaking grass, it will dissappear.

I can get over 20 audinos in half an hour using that method. With a Bike it's much, much faster.

I don't doubt that it's easy, but today i'm departing Stration City (i beat Cress last night). I simply haven't had Audino available yet

the thing this game i think did best was that it worked a lot of adding or improving things in the game, NOT including pokemon

lots of hte prior games just felt like they just kept the exact same game  but with 150 new pokemon. 

i'm wondering what they will do for 3DS. i mean based on 3DS' visuals i'm thinking we might not see much of a difference in the game besides a big jump in visuals.   One thing i do hope they add sooner or later is a random start to battles.  I mean like when entering a battle either you or your opponent PICKS a pokemon to throw out (doesn' thave to be first in your balls), THEN the other person gets to PICK.

I mean in all the television shows and what not one person throws ther pokemon first and then the other, and if i say throw a charmander out tehre, you would be stupid to throw out a bulbasar.  you would use a squirtle if you had one.  obviously this gives the person throwing second a HUGE advantage, but again why it would be random or some method to choose first throw.

don't know city names well, but my first audino i witnessed by the first nursery.  that wasn't very far in at all if i recal

quick question to those others.  the rumbling shacking patch that appears in caves?  is that ever a pokemon or ONLY items.  Seems every tiem i step on it i just recive an item like fire stone or something of that

There's a 50% probability that it will either be an Drilbur (Excadril on the later caves) or a random item, that goes from Type gems to evolution stones. 

If you don't force it, then it becomes a rare occurance. As I said, it can take anywhere from 10 seconds to over a minute, because  the Shaking grass counts the number of steps that you take besides or inside a grassy area. After it hits a certain number, a spot of grass shakes, though that number is random.

If you breeze through an area, you might miss it altogether. Also, if the shaking grass appears on the middle of a lot of grass, it's also easy to miss. The best way to spot one, is to listen for it's characteristic sound, which is the same as if you were walking on top of the grass, even if you aren't.

It's foreboding of the future of Pokémon.  It may very well be the last 2D Pokémon which makes me very sad but you can't avoid that feeling after playing the game.  It's almost like Gamefreak is waving its dick around with its 3D engine but it's not making a better game.  In fact, crossing large 3D bridges is boring.

Long story short, 3DS Pokémon is going to kill sales.

Black and White, in the grand scheme of things, does quite a few things right but the 3D/Camera related stuff is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.  Also, I'm downed by the EXP scaling as well.
