So in 2012, when Pokemon Black and White 2 came out, my friend gave me a Dreamworld Riolu through a trade-and she literally took one or two level-ups to evolve; I then proceeded to use her to smash in the faces of all who stood before me in the Unova region
.....I've still yet to actually beat Black 2
(That is an Expert Belt wrapped round the base of her tail as a ribbon)
