    Wow. SPD is its worst stat, too.

    Oh, alright... Well, fair enough. n.n But good luck on the EV training!
    A Rampardos actually surprised me recently by taking two hits and KOing one of my Pokemon. O__o

    It surprised me that it actually took two Shadow Balls from my Jolteon. XD;;

    Yeah. He really isn't one of my favorites, but he'll grow on ya.

    Haha! That's a good idea, maybe he has a better chance of survival in a double battle. n.n
    And, well... I'm definitely not the one to be criticizing about using favorites, since, you know, I do too. XD Also, his cry is pretty nifty. It's, like... Someone screamed into a mic and got the sound digitized.

    To be honest, it's not my cup of tea either. I like hard-hitting tanks (like Tyranitar). I just figured I'd do it for the hell of it. Plus I want to try him out using a Follow Me Togetic so he actually has time to boost up before dying. Sure, it's still pretty suicidal, but whatever. I've fallen in love with him. He has my all-time favorite cry.

    Ah, jeeze... That's pretty unfortunate, sorry to hear it. D:
    But at least you've been having fun with Platinum. n.n I like it a lot, too.

    Haha! Sure, that sounds like a good deal. n.n I probably won't use Rampardos very much (Great attack, no speed or defenses. XD; That's not my favorite kind of stat matchup. n.n; ) but it'll still be nice to have, just to be able to switch around whenever I feel like using one. :3

    Bleh. I was doing really well on Diamond. Then my ex had it stolen from her. Well, it stolen from someone she lent it to. Without asking me. *Sigh* Oh well. I've had Platinum for about a month now. I'm satisfied with my progress.

    Once Rampardos is don, I'll trade you a copy for one of the Electabuzzes, if you're game. He has no egg moves, but he doesn't need them. At all. And he's got a 31 attack IV. :D Got lucky.

    Yeah, that's true. Those three event Pokemon are nifty. n.n Surfing Pikachu, Magmortar and Electivire... I do like them. XD I've got two of each, since I own two versions.

    Ah, I see. n.n I spent almost a solid summer playing with my friend, so I've had a level 100 team made for a long time now, around 2 years before Platinum came out. Along with those, I've made a few extra level 100 members for my team here and there, too. n.n So... I have 8 right now? Almost 9, since Shuckle is really close.

    I own Pearl and Platinum. *Nods* Pearl's my Pokedex game - I'm working on building a Pokemon Pokedex in the boxes. XD; I can complete it, if I gave the effort - I have the ability to breed everything you can breed, and I'm almost done with getting Legendaries. (1 missing, actually - that's an Entei. n.n)

    I'm also in love with that Electabuzz that you get. Sadly, I no longer have a Wii, and I don't have Buzzy on my Platinum version. D:

    Actually, I kinda don't have anything. I've just made it to the point where I've about EV'd my first competitive Pokemon (Rampardos). Found a Pamtre berry though, so I'll try to get a Feebas soon. I love Milotic. Which version of Pokemon do you have?

    Haha! True enough. n.n I just find the lack of a real story a bit distressing. There's so much more they could've done with gameplay and connectivity... That, and the attack animations feel a little cheesy to me. XD;

    Although, I suppose as long as you're not doing random battles, and having a match against someone you know on PBR isn't so bad. n.n It's about the same, except, like you said, 3D Pokemon.

    PBR really isn't that great, but I'm simple-minded enough to have my gaming pleasure magnified by bigger, three dimensional versions of my Pokemon. It's pretty.

    Tyros
    Hahaha, yep, yep! I'm sure there is. XD

    That's not so unfortunate. XD; PBR is a relatively horrible game. I don't really play it, to be honest. It was just the only example I could think of that you see Ubers running rampant. n.n;
    But sure! Battle as soon as you have a working team. Sounds good to me! My team is pretty much half-working, when it comes to major competitiveness, but I love them anyway. XD; And of course we'll have a double battle - I wouldn't want to take you out of your normal game. n.n Besides, I can still mostly do my normal thing in a double battle, too. *Nods*

    Yeah, true. XD Those silly people running nothing but Ubers are usually just kids that are playing with the Pokemon they think are strongest. They commonly know nothing about movesets and effort training/IVs. It can be entertaining to beat them now and then.

    Heh. I might do that too. But there's at least an equal chance that he'll never see Shuckie again.

    I'd love to battle you as soon as I've got a working team. I don't have PBR (unfortunately) but WiFi's cool. I get what you're saying about outsmarting your opponent, but I'm just not that good at it.

    Urgh, I agree. But it is fun to test out a PBR team against some idiot with a bunch of ubers.

    Hahaha! Well, the good news is that you'll be getting a chance to forget to return it again very soon. XD I think I'll be nice and just take it as far as I need to to breed it, THEN return it. Then I can have my own version of Shuckie. :3

    Ah, I gotcha... Actually, I think I kinda like that part, because often times, winning means that you outsmarted your opponent. Granted, I need to make a good team to really know that for sure, but it seems that way for me. So, I like all the thought that goes into it - it actually does the same thing for me that the relaxing feeling does for you - makes me more focused. But, as I said before, to each his own. n.n For that reason, we'll have to have a double battle sometime! After I tweak the movepools of the Pokemon I have now a bit, maybe we can do that sometime?

    Hahaha! You are incredibly biased. Not that it's a bad thing. Although, it makes me curious - did something make you that way?
    As for all the gen 4 ubers you see on teams all over the place... Well, that's why I usually only play on wifi with friends I know in person, and friends around here. I don't much like doing random Wi-Fi on PBR, seeing as, yeah, you see ubers everywhere on it. Especially when you get match after match with random jerk 12-year-olds.
    Around here, at least people tend to have some knowledge of tiers, and most actually prefer not using Ubers.

    I miss that free Shuckle that you got in GSC. The one named Shuckie that some guy lent to you so you'd protect it from Team Rocket. I always 'forgot' to return it to him.

    EXACTLY. As far as the actual battling goes, that's why I do doubles. My least favorite part of the gameplay is the thrice-damned switching. Is he going to try to counter this, or just take it? Should I let Bullet Punch hit, or block it with Slowbro? But wait... What if he just wants me to THINK that he's going to use Bullet Punch?! I ****ing hate that. It's so much easier with doubles, because I've got some way to recover no matter what happens, and since it's not just going to be this big revolving door of chaos, I'm a lot more relaxed, and focused because of it.

    Yeah. But I wouldn't mind Deoxys as much as all of this new ****. Seriously, I wish I could just shoot everyone that has Giratina or Palkia or Arceus on their team. But I'm incredibly biased.
