Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Petalburg's trivia makes mention of Paper Mario 2 and I'm pretty sure I've seen mention of another coincidental name, but exactly what it was escapes me... Is Half-Life 2: Episode 2 worth mentioning here, or is it a Nintendo Kool Kidz' Club kind of thing? BP 09:18, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I guess that would be OK. But we kinda are a Nintendo Kool Kidz' Club. It also means that Black City gets EarthBound in its trivia. --SnorlaxMonster 08:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- Knew I wasn't the only one who thought it looked like Moonside... BP 09:10, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Nidoran
On the Black and White and Nidoran♂ pages, it says that Nidoran♂ can be caught here, but on this page, it says only Nidoran♀ can be caught. Which one is correct? Slimey01 00:01, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Mayor
I'm not familiar with the Bulbapedia's Manual of Style, so I wouldn't know where to put this exactly, but I wanted to let you folks know that the Mayor will ask you to let him know if you find a random pokemon in the forest each day. If you catch that pokemon that day and bring it to him, he'll award you with a random berry. Trades or pokemon caught on a previous day do not count, to my knowledge. I'm not sure what berries exactly he gives, but he gave me a Lum Berry today. Jimcloud 06:05, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Population error?
It essentially took me 2 weeks to get to White Forest, yet I only have 3 named people. Does the value roll over after it hits 10 and start at 0 again? --Zoen 10:49, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- The population is counted at the highest possible level. And I'm not sure if the value changes to 0 after hitting 10. --Han Ji-Wan 01:34, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
- Another question to ask then...are the "pointless" NPCs inside the mayor's house and around White Forest counted towards that population? Not counting the Mayor or the staff inside the Pokemon Center, there's 13 people total. Think this needs a bit further explanation. --Zoen 10:18, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes... The "pointless" NPCs are counted towards White Forest's population. Also, the people in the gate buildings are counted in as well. --Han Ji-Wan 05:05, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- So then under that statement, White Forest can have higher than 10 population. I didn't even count the people in the gate buildings. --Zoen 10:30, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, that's right. It's fine since I've already done the population count for White Forest. :] --Han Ji-Wan 13:35, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

What do the names mean?
for example, for this pokemon, in the last column it gives the name of a person. what does that mean? is it you have to talk to this person in order to find this pokémon? - unsigned comment from Mpcamel1729 (talk • contribs)
- That's the name of the resident who must be in your White Forest for that pokémon to appear. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 22:48, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- On the subject, it'd be nice if someone could put each of their overworld sprites beside their names; otherwise users will have to cross-reference with Black City's page to find out what sort of trainer to talk to. --AndyPKMN (talk) 23:45, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Do you even need to talk to them? They're there; that should generate the pokémon automatically, unless there's proof contrary. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 00:06, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- You need to talk to them at least every other day in order to keep them from leaving. —Minimiscience 00:10, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- To keep them from leaving, yeah. But you're going to learn quite quickly which ones are the ones you need to speak to (making sprites unnecessary? I dunno; it would make those boxes less plain to look at). I was more saying, "You shouldn't have to speak to them to make the pokémon appear, unless I'm wrong." I was still camped on the first statement. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 00:42, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- I thought the point of the names was to list the people you need to invite over from Black City. In that case, it'd be useful to know what they look like so you can determine whether or not to invite them. --AndyPKMN (talk) 01:56, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- Well, not really made for that reason. It's to show who generates what, basic as basic can be. So yeah, I suppose who to invite over is on the list of uses. But how does the inviting process even work? Is it an auto-process? Mistakenly talk to them and they're yours until you ignore them? You're screwed if you want one particular male clerk, and the person with Black has both male clerks. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 02:11, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- I've visited my brother's White Forest from my Black Version, and they do ask you if they can accompany you back to your game. I don't remember if you get their names beforehand, however. That's why I thought the sprites would be useful—yes, there's more than one member of certain trainer classes, but it'd help narrow it down. Plus, I think it'd help to clarify what the names mean, whereas its current ambiguity leads to questions like the one which started this topic in the first place! --AndyPKMN (talk) 02:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Dropped Items
I was just wondering if the dropped items in White Forest should be mentioned in the article?, After all, it is something major that happens from day to day. --KayKay|Chat to me! 02:39, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
