[PokeMMO Guide] Unova: Locations, items and more.
Hey guys, how is going? Blue reporting for duty (current IGN CommanderBlue) to bring you some relevant information on the brand new PokéMMO recently added (to be added soon or added a long time ago, depending on when you first read this post) region.
Unova brings all wonders of the Generation 5 of Pokémon features, abilities, moves, a whole new map... in other words, there's a lot to digest, is a whole new meta and it felt important to search and share some stuff with you guys, to help you out.
First is important to remember that most information was taken from websites out there, and it's also important to have in mind that PokéMMO developers will change a lot of features to fit and match into the dynamic they have already implemented during the past years, with previous regions (Kanto and Hoenn).
So, here is what we know about Unova:
Pokémon Black & White were released for Nintendo DS platform (Release dates: Japan at 18th, September 2010, America at 6th March, 2011, Europe at 4th March, 2011, Australia at 10th March, 2011) and it has introduced 156 brand new Pokémon, including 13 new legendaries, taking the total to 649!

Gameplay changes
Your mentor, who gives you your first Pokémon and helps you along your way, is a woman this time. Her name is Professor Araragi. The three starters follow the tried-and-tested pattern of Grass, Fire, Water types. They are Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott.
As usual the graphics get an update, especially the 3D aspect.
The battle scenes include some interesting changes — the Pokémon continually move during battle, instead of staying static. The camera will also move and zoom in/out during attacks. The background of the battle screen is differs depending on whether you are in fields, the city, etc.

The Unova region
The game takes place in a new region called Unova (previously known as Isshu in the Japanese version), which appears to be quite industrious and includes several large towns with skyscrapers. It is based on New York City, with Castelia City in the south being modeled after Manhattan.
There are also two regions that are exclusive to each game: Black City and White Forest, in the version of the same name. There will be 8 gym leaders/badges just like previous games.

Credits: This section below was taken from PokéMMO forum.
1] As you move along the story, the first gym you encounter is in Striaton City. This is the Trio Badge, and it also depends on your starter type. Choosing Tepig means you face Leader Cress, the water type one. Snivy means you face Leader Chili, the fire type. Having Oshawott means you will face Leader Cilan, the grass type.
2] The second gym will be at Nacrene City. This is the Basic Badge, and the Gym Leader here is Lenora. This gym specializes Normal types and that shouldn't be hard to manage. [Before you can enter the gym, you fight a trainer named N. This gym has switches and you need to answer the questions, I'll mention this later]
3] The third gym will be located at Castelia City. This is the Insect Badge led by the Gym Leader Burgh. This gym is all about dem Bugs. [Note that you need to turn on the switches to proceed to another area]
4] Welcome to the 4th gym in the game, which is in Nimbasa City. Elesa, the Gym Leader, likes to use Electric types. Her gym has switches and Roller Coasters that you need to fix in order to get to her. Defeat her and you will receive the Bolt Badge.
5] Driftveil City is your next stop. Here you will meet Gym Leader, Clay, who likes to use Ground types. This gym has a series of switches or lifts to get to Clay. [Shouldn't be too difficult to reach him] After you defeat this gym, you get the Quake Badge.
6] Your next flight, the Mistralton City. The gym here is run by Skyla who likes to use Flying types. The gym uses series of cannons to get to the Gym Leader. Defeating her will award you the Jet Badge. [Beware of this gym, she loves to spam Roost so get a nice Electric type for this one]
7] It must be getting cold in here. Yes, welcome to Icirrus City and the Gym Leader here, Brycen, uses Ice types. This one has curve spinners to get to Brycen. Defeat him and you will get the Freeze Badge.
8] The final gym which is at Opelucid City. Here you will see Dragon types being used by the Gym Leader, Drayden. However, you will fight Iris instead of him. This gym is built around three Dragon heads and you need to get the right switches to lead you to Iris. [Last three gyms should be hard and I would probably power level your team a bit] Congrats on beating the last gym, she will give you the Legend Badge.
Train hard through the Victory Road and good luck in the Pokemon League. You are free to use comps if you find it hard to defeat. Though a method I think is kinda grindy is using SS(Sweet Scent) in Victory Road and defeating Durant Hordes. Make sure to have a mon access to a move who can hit all adjacent pokemons. You should get around 4k exp for the mon that defeated them. Using x1 Exp share on another party member and they will get 2k exp each. [Go to the last entrance to Victory Road, so exit from the Pokemon League. I find that the Durant hordes there are a bit higher level than the ones on lower levels of the cave]
The Elite Four for this region include Ghost, Dark, Psychic, and Fighting types (Shauntal, Grimsley, Caitlin, and Marshal). Defeat them all and you will advance to the Champion room, however, you don't face the Champion Alder. You will fight N in his Castle. [All information later discussed]
Triple Battles
Pokémon Black & White will allow Pokémon battles with 3 Pokémon on one team. Some new rules & tactics come into play - each of the three Pokémon target different Pokémon: The middle one can target all Pokémon, but the one on each side can only target the Pokémon opposite and middle. It is also possible to rotate your team to switch which Pokémon are where.
More features...
TMs will not disappear after one use, they can be used again like HMs. (For real??? Will that be kept by PokéMMO devs?)
A new time mechanic based on Seasons is added.

This is really useful! Thanks a lot! Any advice for a good pokemon database? I've been using the one at Games Ref and Pokemon DB
