All I really did today was train two new pokemon to add to the team, Seismitoad and Darmanitan. They are currently both about 5 levels away from evolving. They sort of replace Simisear and Tentacruel, but at the same time they sorta don't. It's hard to explain. For now I still consider all 8 of them "in the team".

After beating Ghetsis, I decided to revamp my team with newly available Pokemon. Through a bit of research, I made the following changes to my team:
Leavanny was replaced with Jynx
Sigilyph was replaced with Braviary
Seismitoad was replaced with Floatzel

Currently grinding my team to match the Lv58 Braviary I caught.

I caught a female Mienfoo today and she already participated in her first Musical.

My Minccino and Elgyem (both female) also participated.

And another evolution, this time my Swadloon when he evolved into Leavanny!

I also did a few Rotation Battles with my Chandelure, Samurott and Gothitelle. Gothitelle gained a few levels, she's really starting to get strong despite being a girl!

And my female Watchog became a Musical Star!

UPDATE - Wednesday October 12, 2011

Two more evolutions this morning:

Darumaka > Darmanitan

I've started using the random match,.. I reckon it's a good place to train and come up with a strategy,...BUT I hate it when you're winning and people just disconnected on you >.< hmmmm it always happen to me whenever I battled someone -.-"​

Update on my Pokemon Black Adventure

Another evolution this afternoon:

Cubchoo > Beartic

She also learned Icicle Crash, a move that will prove vital to her.

Yep, I was only raising her earlier and she's starting to get tough!

It took a lot of Audino and a Lucky Egg to do it.

Yesterday, I obtained Archen and trained him up right away!

Despite my hatred of his ability, he might do good for my team.

I taught him Acrobatics and he's sweeped a lot of Audino.

And today, this happened:

Evolution: Archen > Archeops

Caught a Vullaby

Training for the Elite Four (aiming to get my Pokemon to Level 50-60)

Current team is in the Trainer Card below (courtesy of Pokecharms)

(Yes, I finally boxed my Unfezant. She was getting too weak for me)

I've done a few more things this afternoon.

I caught a female Deino.

I also battled Trainers at Victory Road.

I'm doing excessive grinding so I can be at least in the Level 50-60 to take on the Elite Four.

I plan to raise my Deino into a mighty Hydreigon.

My team is in the Trainer Card below (courtesy of Pokecharms)

My updated team, just reached Mistralton City:

Spr_5b_502.png

Frosty
the Dewott Lv 34(Revenge, Focus Energy, Water Pulse, Aqua Jet)
I'm trying to get Frosty into a Samurott, and then exchange some heart scales for Megahorn!


Spr_5b_528.png

Rosie
the Swoobat Lv 35 (Confusion, Calm Mind, Air Slash, Fly)
I love Rosie. She's so wonderful. She has set up without much hassle and swept a few Plasma members.

Spr_5b_514.png

Misty
the Simisear Lv 35 (Bite, Yawn, Rock Tomb, Flame Birst)
Simisear hasn't changed her movepool as of late, but she still pwns - especially in Chargestone Cave - easy grinding.

Spr_5b_546.png

Petulia
the Cottonee Lv 36 (Growth, Leech Seed, PoisonPowder, Giga Drain)
Petulia is so fun to battle with. She's been a little bit more difficult lately, with some opposing Pokemon getting lucky with crits and hax - but she is still awesome and can cripple an entire party.

Spr_5b_559.png

Pikachu
the Scraggy Lv 36 (Sand Attack, Faint Attack, Brick Break, Hi Jump Kick)
Pikachu often wins battles, but he also loses them just as often because of Hi Jump Kick.

Spr_5b_587.png

Hugh
the Emolga Lv 34 (Volt Switch, Shock Wave, Acrobatics, Double Team)
Hugh, like Petulia, is so fun to use. <3 He's not very strong but I like using him anyway.

I will train up a Drilbur soon, maybe... As soon as I beat this gym, I am going to catch... AXEW!


I also went down to GAME today, and I got a...
SNARLZARK! And I will be SR for a shiny! :3

I have just finished Pokemon Black. (I'm not kidding!)

It took me a total of 13 days (almost a fortnight!) but I have become a hero!

What I did today:

Defeated the Elite Four

Defeated N and Ghetsis

Caught Reshiram

Obtained the Super Rod and National Pokedex

I plan to meet all the Pokemon as part of my new journey!

I am secretly using my brother's DS to import Pokemon from my Gen IV games (without him seeing me, of course).

And yesterday, another evolution:

Deino > Zweilous (now she's 2 levels away from becoming Hydreigon!)

Here's the team I used to defeat N and Ghetsis:

010a4082509ae8895280eda73c3b47199d219fee4ebc93480.png


(I switched Krookodile for Reshiram after catching the latter)

I've been lazy to keep an update, but here's one to fill in what you all missed. Not much happened though, since I haven't been playing White as much.

I had my second battle with Cheren --

Servine (LV 17) vs Tepig (LV 14)

- Tackle (CRIT!) _____
Servine obviously won this match.

- Leaf Tornado → ____
LV UP (18)!
Purrloin is the weakest Pokémon I don't even. :(

So afterward Plasma stole the little girl's Pokémon and I went on the mission to get it back within Wellspring Cave.
----
I forgot before ^ the above entry, I had my battle with Chili and another battle with Cheren at the trainer school. However I won both, and whilst I'd usually add em into this entry I won both easily and there was no real match to show.

I caught a Pidove on my way to the Nacrene and once I get back into playing the game, I'll try to keep an update. :G

I did a few things in Black today.

Obtained Aerodactyl

Obtained these TMs: Psyshock, Flamethrower, Psychic and Ice Beam

Explored the Giant Chasm

Obtained an Oval Stone

My precious Samurott learned Ice Beam

I played Pokemon Black again today, and here's the events I did on Day 17 of my adventure in Unova...

Caught a Tyrogue

Evolutions:

Tympole > Palpitoad

Frillish > Jellicent

Staravia > Staraptor

Yamask > Cofagrigus

Drilbur > Excadrill

And you bet there'll me more captures and evolutions to come!

Here's what I did on Day 20 of my Pokemon Black adventure:

I caught the following Pokemon:

Lunatone, Solrock, Golett, Shuckle, Druddigon, Cinccino x2, Bouffalant, Sneasel, Ditto, Shelmet and Stunfisk

I traded one of my Cinccino for the guy in Undella Town's Munchlax (nicknamed "Gorge"). I have since raised him into a Snorlax.

I evolved the following Pokemon:

Psyduck > Golduck

Cherubi > Cherrim

Luxio > Luxray

Bidoof > Bibarel

Azurill > Marill > Azumarill

Teddiursa > Ursaring

Kirlia > Gardevoir


I caught these Pokemon in the Poke Transfer:

Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Umbreon, Leafeon and Espeon (I transferred them from SoulSilver as I already have a Glaceon in Black)

I hatched these Pokemon from eggs:

Munchlax and Oshawott

And today, Day 21 I also did this:

Riolu evolved into Lucario

Caught a Smeargle

Well, first time posting in a while. Just bought White and have been playing it, and last time I played Pokémon I found these threads quite enjoyable, so here I am.

wkg49.png
Name: Ray
Pokédex: 23
Time: 6:26
Adventure Started: 21/10/2011
Badges: 2

Current Party: I'm sort of in a transition phase here, till I get the Pokémon I want. My starter was Tepig, but I since have gotten rid of him. He's actually in the Dream World at the moment.
Ehe6Z.png
Succi/Woobat ♀ - Lv.17
Moves: Heart Stamp/Odor Sleuth/Gust/Assurance
Holding a Lucky Egg
Ability: Unaware
Quiet Nature

Doug/Deerling ♂ - Lv. 21
Moves: Double Kick/Leech Seed/Faint Attack/Sand-Attack
Not holding anything
Ability: Chlorophyll
Careful Nature

Fabio/Purrloin ♂ - Lv. 5
Only in the party for HMs (for now). Not worth talking about.

Egg
This has a Drilbur inside. It appears to move occasionally. It may be close to hatching.

Ruskie/Herdier ♂ - Lv. 16
Moves: Tackle/Bite/Work Up/Take Down
Not holding anything
Ability: Sand Rush
Quiet Nature
qGRyl.png
Woody/Timburr ♂ - Lv. 13
Just caught this guy, plan on tossing him in the PC when I get the chance.

So I just got the second badge, and am just levelling up my Woobat a bit before I enter the Pinwheel Forest to chase after Team Plasma. I don't really plan on keeping it, but I need a bit of variety, since right now my two strongest Pokémon are both Normal types, and my Drilbur will be weak to Fighting types as well once it hatches.

Other changes I plan to make to my party is to remove Herdier, and catch a Darumaka and an Emolga, while getting a Tirtouga from a fossil. I might also catch a Minccino.

Anyway, this isn't the first time I've played, though it's the first time I've ever used the Dream World function. To be honest, my biggest disappointment about the game is that I have to grow berries outside of it. I'm hoping that the next set of games restores berries back to in-game.


Edit:
Okay, so I did a little bit since my last post. Lets start with the changes to my party first.
Current Party:
z11Pj.png
Yoko/Drilbur ♀ - Lv. 23 - Dig/Metal Claw/Swords Dance/X-Scissor
y0Cbg.png
Ranga/Darumaka ♂ - Lv. 26 - Fire Punch/Facade/Fire Fang/Work Up
R97Qu.png
Doug/Deerling ♂ - Lv. 23 - Double Kick/Leech Seed/Grass Knot/Sand-Attack
Ehe6Z.png
Succi/Woobat ♀ - Lv.19 - Heart Stamp/Odor Sleuth/Gust/Thief
PT6t2.png
Fabio/Purrloin ♂ (HM Slave) - Lv. 5 - Scratch/Growl/Cut

So I just got the third badge in Castelia City. I made sure to capture Ranga before attempting that gym, and thanks to him, I had no worries at all sweeping it. Seriously could not have been easier (the Lucky Egg I have helps a bit too though, haha). Also just beat that harlot Bianca, again with little trouble.

I went to the Dream World earlier, and got a Doduo for my troubles. It's really an annoying side feature, but since I love my berries, I have to do it aye? Not to mention all them extra Pokémon I can get there.

I think before I go any further along Route 4 I'll head back a bit to Pinwheel forest and capture any Pokémon I missed. By the way, as of right now my dex is at 35.

Not sure how I'll change my team. Does anyone have a better recommendation for an HM Slave? I want to add Sigilyph to my party but I don't want both that and Emolga. One of them will definitely replace Succi, that's for sure. I'm still definitely planning on acquiring Tirtouga, but I ain't so sure about Minccino. Maybe I'll leave that slot empty for now.

So yeah, any advice on my team would be appreciated.

Today I caught my first Gen V shiny.
572.png

It is Level 32, a male, timid and has technician. An all around good minncino. Caught on route 8, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw him appear. I dont want to evolve him into a cinncino though because well...
573.png

It aint that good. Its one of those shinies that dosent change much from the original

@Amachi - Drillbur, Deerling and Darumaka are some fo the best gen v pokemon. Tirtouga will be great. May I suggest a bug pokemon to fill in a slot. If you can trade escavalier would be great. Galvantula is also another good one. If thats too late then maybe backtrack to Pinwheel forest and catch a venipede. Scolipede is really fast and a hard hitter too.

What I did on Day 22 of my Pokemon Black adventure:

I also caught a Klink.

Currently training a Vullaby.

Participated in Battle Subway with Samurott, Gothitelle, Cinccino and Ferrothorn (it was Ferrothorn's first Battle Subway run since her evolution).

hmm, I never even considered a bug Pokémon for the last slot, thanks man, I'll probably go with Galvantula. Thanks man.

Anyway, played a whole bunch more last night, so I'll give an update.

Ranga/Darumaka ♂ - Lv. 28 - Fire Punch/Thrash/Fire Fang/Work Up
R97Qu.png
Doug/Deerling ♂ - Lv. 30 - Double Kick/Leech Seed/Grass Knot/Sand-Attack
e9MCS.png
Yoko/Excadrill ♀ - Lv. 33 - Rock Slide/Metal Claw/Swords Dance/Earthquake
llzmm.png
Master/Sigilyph ♂ - Lv. 28 - Thief/Tailwind/Air Cutter/Psybeam

Esiotrot/Tirtouga ♂ - Lv. 29 - Aqua Jet/AncientPower/Crunch/Brine
8fMWQ.png
Herman/Dwebble ♂ (HM Slave) - Lv. 22 - Strength/Cut/Smack Down/Rock Polish

Now have my fourth badge, and am just about to head on my way to Driftveil City over the drawbridge. Getting the fourth badge was easy as pie once I evolved Yoko, as both Earthquake and Rock Slide came very handy. In the past I had trouble with those Emolga, but I was quite overlevelled so I destroyed them easily.

Pretty soon a number of my Pokémon should be evolving, so I'm looking forward to that. Still not sure if I should keep Master in my party though (but it took me a fair while to even find one in the desert, so it's not like I want it all to be for nothing, haha). As I said earlier I'll be getting Galvantula, but I was thinking that I'd like a Dragon type in there, so we'll see.

Not much else to really report I guess.
