    So going through my platinum, I thought I had my team planned out for the rest of the game. Boy was I wrong. While reading Mt. Coronet's bulbapedia page, I saw there were feebas inside, so I decided to try and catch one, maybe see if I could evolve it, or even use it in my team. 40 minutes in, I find one and ASFAFGUGA IT'S SHINY!! Thankfully, I had my scyther with false swipe at the front, and managed to snag it! AND 2ND BEST OF ALL, it has a modest nature. Here's my current line-up:

    Just restarted my Pokemon Diamond last night. I was playing my Platinum and suddenly missed D/P.

    I just fought Starly and choose Turtwig. I'm about to run into Prof. Rowan.

    Right. I need to play D/P/P because I still don't know much about Sinnoh and feel left out XD

    So I've started Platinum (on emulator :B ) and maybe posting here will make me finish the game :p (probably not)

    I just started out and have Chimchar. Did all the starting things and have just gotten my pokéballs. Hmm, let's go catching spree... what pokémon roams Sinnoh? I feel so noobish xD

    TEAM:
    Chimchar, level 6

    Platinum Playthrough
    Day 1 - Getting Started

    Starting on my play through of Platinum that I found. :D





    My name is Hayden and my best friend/rival is Muse. Muse is pretty hyper/caffeinated to be running around like that. After crashing into me, dragging me to Route 201, and getting lectured by Prof. Rowan, Muse let's me choose my Pokemon first. For this play through I chose Piplup.
    393.png
    My game-mom says I have to say thank you properly so I went to the professor's lab. Battled some Starly on the way. I got my Pokedex and nicknamed my Piplup, KirOzMia. After a quick tour from Lucas of Sandgem town, I took the fast route back to Twinleaf town to talk to my game-mom. On my way to Route 202, I stop to buy some pokeballs and potions. I get 5 more pokeballs after Lucas shows me how to capture a Pokemon.

    The first thing I like to do is get a Pokemon with wings, in this case it would be Starly. I also caught a Shinx while I was at it.

    Blade
    403-f.png

    Kaori
    I stayed on Route 202 for a while to train my 3 Pokemon to level 8. The trainers on the route weren't challenging at all. I head to Jubilife to meet Lucas and we encounter that weird "Looker" person. Creepy...hiding behind things and jumping out randomly. After I drop off the parcel that Muse's mom asked me to deliver. He gives me his extra town map that was inside it and I go battle the two little kids on the other side of the wall. What's more fun than beating up some random kid's Pokemon?

    Next I have to run around and collect coupons for my Poketch. After I finally get that, I head to Route 203 where I run into Muse and he wants to battle. I take him out and make my way to Oreburgh city.

  • I restarted SoulSilver, and chose a girl for this journey. My starter is Cyndaquil, and it's currently a Level 23 Quilava.

    I'm about to battle Falkner. More training (out of boredom) is likely. xD;

  • LegendaryFSK's Pokémon Diamond Journey
    Pokemon-diamond-and-pearl-group.png

    Entry 01

    After playing Black for so long, decided to pick back up the old copy of Diamond and take another journey through the Sinnoh Region. Started journey on January 17, 2012.
    DP_Lucas.png

    This is me, Jay Jay. I also have a friend and rival named Branden.

    After watching the "Search for the Red Gyarados" special report, I met up with Branden on Route 201. From there we traveled to Lake Verity.
    I chose Piplup as my starter from the case that the Professor and Dawn left behind.
    piplup.png

    Returned home to Twinleaf Town and received the running shoes from mom. Piplup and I took a brief rest before we headed back out. We traveled to Sandgem Town. There we met with Dawn and the Professor where I received the Pokédex.

    I purchased a few Pokéballs and potions from the Poké Mart. Traveled back home to receive my Journal. I also met with Branden's mom who gave me a Parcel to give to Branden. I then traveled to route 202 to meet with Dawn. She showed me how to catch wild Pokémon and gave me 5 more Pokéballs.

    I caught a Starly and a Shinx in the wild.

  • Rhinnan's Journey
    ----------------------
    I started and picked Totodile as my starter, and nicknamed him Equius. I did the Mr. Pokemon quest as asked, and then got a call from Professor Elm telling me to return. So I did. On the way I battled a sexy red-haired boy who said I didn't deserve my Pokemon. I beat him to prove I did, and hurried back to Elm's lab. The policeman there thought I stole the missing Pokemon, but my 'friend' Ethan said he saw a red-haired boy looking into the building. The policeman asked for the (SEXY) boy's name, in which I replied Phoenix. He left and then I did, too, and Ethan showed me how to catch Pokemon (very lamely) and gave me some balls.
    Current Team:
    Equius *totodile* level 9

    Fienya's Journey
    ---------------------
    Of course, it's morning. Just like every other morning. Or so I thought.
    My mother woke me up this morning, telling me that Professor Elm had wanted to see me today. I decided I would figure out what he wanted first, before doing basically everything else. I headed over to his lab, and as I reached I noticed someone looking in the window. I ignored him, of course, too preoccupied with the current mission. Once I had figured out what Elm had wanted, I was all too excited. Grabbing the first pokemon there was, I gladly chose a Cyndaquil. My new partner, Sollux, I did my first mission. To go the Mr. Pokemon's house and see what he wanted. Once I had finally reached there, I found out all it was was another egg that he had found. Once I had the egg ready, a received a call. It was Professor Elm. He sounded hysterical, blabbing on about something horrible. I rushed over to see what was wrong, and on the way, I met someone. But I don't think he was all to happy to meet me. The instant he saw me, he called me weak and said I didn't deserve my pokemon. Not even having any saying, he challenged me. Gladly, I accepted, and defeated him easily. Right after that, he ran away, in too much of a hurry to notice I had taken his trainer card. I read the name, fast as I could, before he realized and snatched it away. I watched as he ran, soon remembering that I had to go to Elm's lab. Once I reached there, I was shocked to hear that one of the pokemon had been stolen. I saw the police officer, and the moment he saw me, he blamed me and already brought out his cuffs that had been hanging on the side of his belt. Not even getting my saying, yet again, I couldn't really defend myself. Luckily, Ethan, Had run in, and stood up for me. He had always been a good friend. Once the police officer heard this, he turned back to me, asking if I had seen anyone with red hair. I answered that I had, and he then again began pestering me about everything I knew. All I told him was that I knew he had red hair, and that his name was Gale. The officer ran off, obviously in search for Gale. I thanked Ethan for his help, and Elm began to explain to me that he knew I was 'special' and that I should be the one who helps him in his little 'experiment.' I agreed, too bored with life to really give a damn. So, from then on, I started my adventure. Oh boy, it's gonna be a helluva ride.

    My team:
    Sollux *Cyndaquil* Lvl. 13
    Alice *Ratatta* Lvl. 5

    Alright for one; Allow me to Introduce my Trainers. There is Ace, Juan and Clara.

    Ace is the flagship character (I usually name my character Ace if I'm going to just beat the game. He is usually used for Newer Pokemon Games. (He Usually takes the Fire Type)

    Juan is a secondary Character (I use him after I've beaten the game with Ace, 9 times out of ten I just really want to play again so I name the trainer Juan. Juan is usually my Rival when that option is allowed. He usually takes the Grass Pokemon.

    Clara (As seen in my sig) is my third character and I use her to beat the game, which includes the collection of all Pokemon, battle Tower ETC. When I use first created Clara it was after the Fire Red and Leaf Green series (I started with Juan in D &P) I like to believe that Clara starts her journey three years after Ace and is trying to overthrow him as Pokemon master. (Ace could be seen as Red). She Always takes the Water Pokemon.

    Anyways, I finally defeated Blue and earned access to Mt.Silver after scaling the huge tower, Clara set her sights on dethroning "Ace" however she never made it past his level 88 Pikachu. Flying to the base of Mount Silver, she trains her Pokemon a bit more in anticipation for this epic rematch

  • Finally got a 3DS, which means I got to dust off my SS and play a bit.. I think the last time I played any game was later in 2010.

    Started with a Totodile, accidently caught a Geodude and Zubat... I've never really used them, in any generation previously. Really had no problems up until Bugsy, when his (her) Sycther started wrecking ****. His stupid U-Turn kept OHKOing everything. Sacrificed a Flaffy to paralyze it. Rocky (Geodude) came in and OHKO'd it with Rock Throw. (Which is funny, because I was planning on boxing it.)

    Then a few minutes later, Bats (Zubat) outlasted my Rival's Bayleef. It was seriously like a 20 minute battle because of Reflect/Synthesis. Anyway, that won me over too, so now I'm pretty sure I'm taking a Golem and Crobat with me all the way. :3

    Can't believe how much time I've put into this so far, almost 8 hours over the past two days. (That's a lot for me)

  • Just had another amazing gym match, this time with Morty. He had no problem killing my Croconaw and nearly killed Flaffy before I switched quickly to Togepi to sacrifice it to revive/heal as much as possible.

    Gengar was already paralyized, so I took down his attack and realized the Gengar wouldn't be able to faint Togepi because ghost attacks won't hit it, and Sucker Punch wouldn't do it either. It was seriously a 25 minute battle, with me using Extrasensory to slowly whittle it down while Morty used potions to heal. I couldn't switch out because of Mean Look, and had to deal with hypnosis slowing me down. Eventually I had to use an Ether to replenish Extrasensory or else it would have been a cripple battle.

    The Gengar actually started to use Struggle before Togepi got it to faint. So my Lv. 5 Togepi beat the Lv. 25 Gengar.

    Probably the most amazing in-game battle I've had in years. The funny thing is I almost boxed Togepi/Gastly before the match but decided I might need them to sacrifice for healing, and I was right. I'm tempted to keep Togepi now, but I don't think I'll have room for it after I add an Ursaring and decide what I need to add to round out my team. I'll probably add a Ninetails instead.

    Still, I haven't been this pumped over a Pokemon game in a long time.

    Team as of Ecruteak:
    Croconaw, Lv. 25
    Flaffy, Lv. 26
    Geodude, Lv. 26
    Crobat, Lv. 26
    Gastly, Lv. 7
    Togepi, Lv. 5 (Grew to level 9 after the battle)

  • I started a new game in Pokemon Diamond Thursday.  I'm a guy but I like picking the girl in Diamond because I like how she looks over the boy. I named her Dawn. 
    February 23,2012
    I started off with Turtwig after beating the two Starly at Lake Verity. I got the Pokedex from Professor Rowan and nicknamed Turtwig, "Twigleaf." It took me a while to catch my first Pokemon cause I wanted something good. After aimlessly walking around I found a Shinx at lvl 4 and caught it. I battled the trainers there and headed to Jubilife City. Once I arrived I delivered the parcel to my rival Barry and battle the trainers there.Got the Poketch and I headed north to Route 204. I battled the trainers there and saved.

    I'm gonna fit two days in this post. I picked up this morning and headed to Oreburgh City. Fought Barry and after almost losing I realized I need another Pokemon. I caught a Starly at lv. 5. I trained Starly a bit and made it to Oreburgh. First thing I did there was head to Oreburgh mine. Found Roark there and he went back to his gym. Battled the trainers there and leveled up Turtwig and Starly a few levels. Turtwig grew to level 13 and learned Razor Leaf. Before battling Roark I decided to explore the city. I found a women in one building who wanted a Machop her Abra. Thought it was a good deal so I searched for a Machop in Route 207. I caught one and trained it to level 8 before trading it to her. Then I went to the Gym. I easily defeated the trainers with Abra and it leveled to lvl 13. I beat Roark's Geodude with one Razor Leaf and Onix with Razor Leaf, Tackle and Absorb. I beat Cranidos with just Razor Leaf and got the Coal Badge and Stealth Rock. 

    Later I went to Jubilife to mess around a bit. I went downstairs of the Pokemon center and got my Pal Pad. I also went to the Poketch Company and got the Memo Pad. I beat Team Galactic for the first time and after that messed around in Jubilife TV. I battle a PokeKid and dressed up Shinx. I put the Fiery backdrop, Turtwig mask and the fluff things. I named my picture Flash Fire. Soon after I headed to Floroma Town. When going to Route 205 I ran into the girl looking for her father in the Valley Windworks. I trained Shinx a bit and then easily defeated Team Galactic at the Windworks and Floroama Meadows. While in the Valleyworks my Shinx evolved into Luxio and Starly evolved into Staravia. Double whammy!
