Alright I got to the Elite 4 :( It went by to fast, I am afraid I just CANT go slow at these games, but there are always restarts :D
Since most of my pokemon were way under-leveled when I started the Elite 4 (Like high 30's, Low 40's) I decided to suicide train! Now I am stronger, I can get to Karen without healing :)
My Team:
Cyndaquil (Typhlosion, XD I didnt realise that a nickname didnt change when it evolved) Lv.46
Red Gyarados Lv.41
Ariados Lv.46
Ampharos Lv.42 (Yes I have one too)
and last but not worst! Ho-oh Lv.46
Now I am planning to level them all 47+ and actually try to beat the Elite 4 (Elite... your joking right? Chuck was harder then Will and Clair was harder then Koga)
Im with you in terms of progress, I havn't bothered to try to beat them yet, as I like to train first, then beat them, Rather not lose all my money.
And go to the name rater in Golden rod to change the nicknames.
