[Ivix Kuroshu]

Started playing Platinum again the other day after a several month hiatus. I still haven't gotten around to doing the Battle Frontier stuff. I'm currently EV training my team.

 

[thegeneticway]

Finally beat the Elite Four on my Diamond by restarting using a lot of TM's and healing junk.

Then, I got mystery gift on Diamond, and went to Toys R Us and got some Arceus on my Dia and Plat.

 

[Ivix Kuroshu]

Zangoose now has all his EV's. Now I just have to train him up to level 100...

Oh yes, I got Arceus yesterday too. Then I found out I had been pronouncing his name wrong this whole time...

 

[Bejesus]

Did the Mt Coronet and Distortion world storyline, caught Giaratina. From there to beating Sunnyshore city was a breeze. Now i'm kinda stuck cos i need Waterfall to get to Victory Road. I have 4 pokemon and 2 HM slaves, the only one i can teach Waterfall to is full of HM's and they can't forget them, so i will just need to quickly make a Victory Road adequate HM Slave, easy.

Enjoyed making progress in the game again, after a long time. Team is looking a bit unbalanced though, Torterra, Zolteon, Staraptor and Togekiss. Good in certain situations, but i could only really use Torterra against the last gym leader. Also i missed out on that wifi mystery gift event, which sucks but was totally my fault.

 

[Ivix Kuroshu]

I decided I'm going to start hunting for some shinies. I have never caught a shiny myself, excluding Gyarados from GSC, so I figure I might do that.

I also decided I need to clean out my PC. In my effort to get a team of Pokemon with just the right natures, I have constructed a small army inside my boxes. It's going to take a while to release all of them...

After I'm done with all that, plus the Battle Frontier, I'm gonna start filling up my Pokedex some more. So much to do...

 

[Haruka of Hoenn]

I'm alternating between EV training my Flygon, and challenging the Tough Contests. Flygon is almost at level 90, and I've won the Normal, Super, and Ultra rank Tough contests. I have yet to win the Master Ranks, since Jasmine and my mother (in the game) keep beating me. I find it sort of funny :P

Catching Dialga

This made me simply go "LOL".

Okay, I battled Team Galactic at Mt.Coronet and Dialga was next. So I thought that I should save my game before the legendary encounter and etc. But I didn't save by accident and our fight started. I used my Lv.48 Espeon. It simply used Dig 3 times in a row and made Dialgas HP red. Then I randomly thought "why not throw an ordinary pokeball at it?". So I did. AND IT WORKED xD WIth my FIRST try. And I used only one pokemon, which didn't faint without items. And I didn't save..

I'm a lucky one, huh.

 

[GFA]

Restarted my game (Diamond) 2 days ago, and I'm about to go up against Crasher Wake.
I'm having trouble making a team, so far it's:

Lv 32 Torterra: Mega Drain, Bite, Earthquake, & Razor Leaf
Lv 30 Saravia: Endeavor, Aerial Ace, Wing Attack, & Quick Attack
Lv 28 Machoke: Vital Throw, Strength, Revenge, & Low Kick
Lv 28 Psyduck: Water Pulse, Water Gun, Confusion, & Disable

Any advice for an electric of water type? I'm thinking Magmar once I get Surf :/

 

[Ikitsumi]

So, I finally accessed Platinum again. I did a few trades with my friend, but while he was getting off the bus, HE DECIDED TO TRADE ME A GRAVELER, which means that while the bus was moving off, we lost connection. Thus he doesn't get his level 9 Steelix tonight. >.<

But I got a Politoed! :D

 

[.Ozymandias]

At the moment in Platinum, I'm still working on my pokédex. I have every pokémon from #1-68, so now I'm onto #69-110 :D

In between all this, I'm also working on my team and about to start EV training myself my first ever competitive team, UU-based.

I'm also soft-resetting for a shiny Omanyte to transfer to SS when I get it - a cute little purple Omastar following me around sounds great!

 

[Ikitsumi]

I traded Jermi back his Steelix since it didn't go through yesterday. :\

I also need to keep playing a few other games to transfer them over to my game. (LeafGreen and Ruby.)

And maybe I should actually start playing Platinum again... o_o I've neglected to polish Roark's badge... T^T And I should go visit the Villa again..

But I think that a new goal is to train a Weavile. They've become my new favorite Pokemon for some reason. O.o Maybe because it was my last-day Halloween costume idea.

 

[Ivix Kuroshu]

I'm trying to train Zangoose up to level 53 so he can learn Close Combat, but my Vs. Seeker isn't working on anyone in the Survival Area T_T

Meanwhile I've been doing a lot of chaining to try and find some shiny Pokemon since I've never caught one myself before, but I guess I'm just not lucky enough...

 

[Slowking11]

Finally Caught Giratina

So it took me forever to catch Giratina. After endless restarts and storming out of Turnback Cave in frustration, I caught it. With one ultra-ball. I started with Raichu and paralyzed it (quick claw), then I switched to Empolean and hosed it down into the red. Then I threw an ultra-ball and caught it. So now it's mine, collecting dust in my inbox while I work on a longer and more arduous task; making my TRU Arceus love me.

 

[empty streets]

I'm the champ

Finally I've beaten the Elite four and the Champion. On my first try, by the way...And the second time in playing 4th gen games. A good amount of revives and hiper potions helped me out. And guess who beat Garchomp? Lestat, my Sceptile! Flash rocks...<3
And wtf, the Elite four was so overleveled >_>

- Houndoom Lv58
- Sceptile Lv56
- Blaziken Lv56
- Swampert Lv54
- Togekiss Lv55
- Espeon Lv52

And now I'll finish my Sinnoh pokedex. Only the three Lake pokemon are left to be seen and then I'll get the national one.

 

[Ru-Kun]

I'm currently EV training my SS team on my Pearl version. When everything is EV trained and evolved the team will be:
-Driflimb
-Blaziken
-Starmie
-Tangwroth
-Snorlax
-Electrode

I'm so exited because I just made sure I was doing it right and my Pokemon were getting max Evs!

 

[rndm.]

I journeyed through the pitch black void for Darkrai and Shaymin. I will start over and do that again after catching Cresselia, because the first Darkrai went to my friend. (His game.)
Now I'm at Sunyshore. Because of the glitch, I was able to skip Pastoria completely. I'll go there when I'm done with Victory Road. =P

 

[bit.trip void]

Just arrived in Hearthome City, after lwveling up my Buneary on Cycling Road, and then having my Monferno evolve to Infernape 8D

Beating Fantina is next on the agenda, before I go gring Staravia to Staraptor and go catch a Gible.

I also want to go back and catch a Buizel, and possibly a Shellos, but hey, I'm lazyy :3 Togepi seems almost ready to hatch, though it'll be PC'd asap. I'm also thinking of catching a Shinx soon, and a Gastly. yay backtracking. I... allllso want a grass type for Crasher Wake and Malyka, my rival. :3

kteam

Infernape; Level 36
Buneary; Level 24
Staravia; Level 29
Graveller; Level 25
Biddof; Level 4

[BlueShuckle]

I've been training a shiny Shinx lately, EV'ing it up for somewhat competitive battle, but pretty much just to show him off.

 

[empty streets]

Exploring the Stark Mountain currently. It's my first time there and man, it's pretty hard and confusing o_O

Also...I'm planning to make a new EVd team for the Battle Tower. I don't really know all of the details yet about this special training, but hey, I want to give it a try.
