[BREAKINGBEN]

I have beaten the Rustboro and Dewford gyms with ease and am currently training *once again* in the rusturf tunnel. My second will have to wait, I really just want to focus on my main team.

Speaking of Main teams...:
Marshtomp L: 20
Tailow L: 20
Shroomish L: 18
Aron L: 15
trend=I am trying to keep them 2 levels apart.

[charzardlover]

man i got so lucky on fr i was on 7 island adn i caught a shiny yellow, spearow lv44

[Ninetales]

As usual, nothing's happened in Sapphire lately, so in Emerald...

I spent the last few days doing "remedial courses" for all 26 or so Pokemon I caught just after beating Norman. Meaning I was training them all to level 30-32. A couple of days ago, I just finished all that. The last six Pokemon that got to their appropriate levels were Girafarig, Corphish (who evolved), Heracross (this was a Heracross I bred, so it was below level 30), Duskull, Shuppet, and Absol. When only Shuppet and Absol were left, I had fun by hosting a "race" to see who would finish their "remedial training" last. Hmm... there was Shuppet, who was level 30 and has been trained for quite a few days before that last day, and needed to get to level 32. Then there was Absol, who was level 25 and needed to get to level 31, and just started its training that day. (And as an inside joke, they happened to be nicknamed Severus and Sirius, respectively...) But it was Severus who finished before his Absol competition, barely. Well, there you go Sirius. You start last, you finish last. Lesson learned: don't procrastinate! Start training NOW!

So now all 60 or so of my Pokemon need to get to levels 35-38 before I can face Winona... (depending on whether they need to learn any attacks or evolve) But wait, what about my Staryu? I want to evolve it before it gets to level 33, but I can't find a Water Stone or even a Blue Shard anywhere! Then I found out that I can't get either until I'm able to use Dive, which won't happen until Badge 7. Arrgh... it looks like I'll have to either wait until Badge 7 to train Staryu any further, or trade in a Water Stone/Blue Shard from Sapphire... Meh, it's less frustrating to do the latter, but then again, I wasn't able to evolve my traded-in Feebas until I was able to reach Lilycove City...

Leaf Green

Not much has actually happened in Leaf Green since beating the Elite Four, but I did go on a huge nicknaming spree for some of my Pokemon. Some of the Pokemon I renamed were:

Onix (Iwaku)
Hypno (Mesmeria)
Marowak (Gara)
Zapdos (Raimundo)
Dugtrio (Mounds)
Butterfree (Buttercup)
Clefable (Treacle)
Dodrio (Rhea) --A kind of emu-ish bird
Wigglytuff (Utami) --Uta = song
Parasect (Mushi) --Japanese for bug
Nidoqueen (MRS. NIDO) --because my in-game-trade Nidoking is MR. NIDO
Poliwhirl (Polly)
Ninetales (Vixen)
Crobat (Batman)
Persian (Maneki)
Fearow (Falco)
Victreebel (Amaguchi) --literally "sweet mouth"
Magneton (Magneto) --just one letter from Magneton, but hey, it's an X-Man...
Beedrill (Hornet)

[Cariger]

Well I restarted my Pokemon LeafGreen Version.
I'm currently in the Viridian Forest trying to capture a Pikachu to add something else to my pokedex. The reason is because the Pikachu I found this morning I accidentally knocked out. I also want to train my Weedle [Wally] so he could evolve into a Kakuna and then a Beedrill.

See, my goal for this game is to try and capture and evolve every single pokemon I could possibly catch as soon as I get them. Which is why I'm refusing to battle Brock until atleast four of my seven pokemon have evolved. [So far only one has]

Pokemon in Party
Weedle [Wally] LV.6
Rattata [Jewel] LV.9
Spearow [Tyler] LV.12
Mankey [Pitt] LV.8
Charmander [Carolina] LV.14 --It's a guy that I accidentally nicknamed Carolina.
Pidgey [Birdie] LV.14

Pokemon in PC
Butterfree [Misca] LV.10

So as you see I have a bit more to go until I could battle Brock. Also no matter how much grass I go through, I can't find either Nidoran female or male! >_< It ticks me off since I love both of them! </3

[J3]

ha that funny i just resarted my fire red yesterday and i was looking for a pikachu with a brave nature untill just now lol.my pidgeotto is lvl 28 in virdian forest lol imagine how long it took me to find my pikachu now i battle every pokemon i saw thier untill i found the right pikachu

[Seven X]

Nothing new in my 200 hour+ Sapphire version to speak of, but just last night, after losing over and over to the Elite Four for... months (though I've probably only tried about ten times ahaha) I... finally beat them. And I'd be lying if I said I could have done it without every single healing item I had on me, and of course, my amazing Raichu, who's Thunderbolts did more than the rest of my party combined.

Time to do that extra stuff now, I suppose, and I'm looking into getting Emerald soon--! :D

[Da Kid J3]

im in the middle of lookin for a rhyhorn (cause i want a rhydon) in fire red i've caught about 6 or so in the safari zone but i need one with a brave nature no luck yet any advice any one??

[missingnoresearcher]

I did catch a shiny Mightyena and Rayquaza. I have Gameshark but no chet taht tmie

[borax12]

i have started out with emerald today (though i have finished it twice but you know "pokemon rules".
Just fought my rival with my torchic and now am looking for a male zigzagoon lvl4(atleast)

EDIT

HAd to quit emerald (time restrictions)
Started fire red with my charmander Lvl 5,wuthdrew potion from the P.C,beat gary with ease and have to deliver the parcel

[Ninetales]

In Emerald, I did a couple of trades with Sapphire. I traded two Zigzagoons for:

-A Masquerain holding a Water Stone
-A Phanpy holding a Deep Sea Scale

I started training that Masquerain (who is nicknamed Drew... XD) in the Fiery Path and Jagged Pass. Currently he's level 28. Oh, and I used the Water Stone I received to evolve my Staryu.

EDIT: (to avoid double posting) The next day, I finished training my water Pokemon in the Magma Hideout, except Sharpedo, Seadra, and Staryu, who can also be trained in other places without a problem. I also taught a bunch of TM moves to my Pokemon... so now my Seadra knows Ice Beam, my Mightyena knows Shadow Ball, my Jigglypuff knows Focus Punch, my Starmie knows Thunderbolt, and my Gardevoir knows Shock Wave.

[Cariger]

Yeah a ton happened now in my pokemon game... I have beaten Brock, went though Mt.Moon, beaten Misty, and now I'm just training my pokemon using my brand new VS Seeker. <3 After all it's helping me evolve my pokemon faster, which is a great thing. And I have to go hunting for an Oddish so I could continue completing my pokedex.

Playing FireRed, I've just got my 6th badge. I'm considering raising my pokes a bit, or just have a go at the 7th badge. I'm going through with pokes that appeal to me, so I'm using the most powerful pokes in the game.

My team:

Flare (Charizard): lvl 44. Flamethrower, Smoke Screen, Fly, Slash
Quake (Dugtrio): lvl 42. Mud-Slap, Aerial Ace, Magnitude, Slash
Slash (Kabuto): lvl 38. Surf, Rain Dance, Giga Drain, Mud Shot @ XP Share (newest team member)
Fangs (Raticate): lvl 40. Quick Attack, Super Fang, Hyper Fang, Persuit
Mr. Machine (Krabby): HM Slave

I'm considering dropping Fangs. He was fun for a while, but I'm getting tired of looking at his big butt. Don't rightly know who to exchange him with. Maybe a poison type...

Pokedex:
Seen: 120
Owned: 67

[kafke]

This is a true story which made me very happy . A few days ago, I decided to try pal park. So I dug out my Pokemon Sapphire and decided to transfer a few pokemon. I pick a few and when I looked at them in Diamond I realized they had the pokerus! This was the first time everthat I had the pokerus I was delighted. And after Realizing I hadn't played Sapphire in over a year I was amazed I had the pokerus and didn't know. Anyone else had an experience like this?

[Kung Fu Quagsire!]

One time I fainted a Makuhita in Sapphire then a minute later I realised it had been a shiny. That was the only shiny I've ever seen in any game that isn't Diamond or Gold...

I almost did the same thing as you...except I never started one before and I'm using an emulator. :D

[Kikue]

Just started on Emerald a few days ago. I started with Mudkip since I already used Torchic the last 2 times. I got a girl the first try and named her Koori. When I was going off to find myself a Ralts, for some reason, all the Ralts I ran into are guys... Yeah... I was sick of searching around for a girl Ralts, so I got the boy Ralts and called him Hikaru. So now, I'm going to end up with a crossdressing Gardevoir...this is going to be interesting... that's how far I went....
