    Ah, thank goodness for emulators then. I wish I still had my computer. I had so much fun with PC games. I suppose you're right about it being a challenge. Who knows, you may even come to like some of the Pokémon you get. :)

    Yea, I've been doing my best to learn about EVs and IVs. I plan to implement it after I beat the game. :)

    I just checked out some of your favorites and I have to say Darmanitan and Volcarona look quite amazing. I had considered using a Purrloin through my main story but I couldn't get over the fact that it has loin in its name. It's silly I know. I could name one Miau though. That would be a bit more pleasant to the eyes. :)

    You can either restart, or just play on an emulator. I definitely won't restart, plus I want to try out one of the older games like I said, and since I don't own anything previous to Gen 5, I'll be using an emulator. I hope I'll like the Pokemon, but either way, that's why it's called a challenge, right?

    Oh yeah, I forgot. Before Join Avenue, there were only EV-reducing berries, so yeah, maybe it won't be so hard.

    And I have so many favorites, some based on appearance and some on strength. I we're talking Gen 5, then let's see. Seismitoad and Darmanitan are beasts. N's Krookodile was really strong too, but that may have been due to his IVs too. Leavanny was a very, very pleasant surprise, definitely exceeded my expectations. And my favorite designs would be Serperior, Swoobat, Lilligant, Swanna, Sawsbuck. And then there are some Pokemon I like because of their origins, like Golurk, Volcarona (also really beautiful), the Swords of Justice, Zen Mode Darmanitan (this one is really tricky to use). Oh and Purrloin, because it's a kitty, hehe.

    That sounds pretty interesting. I sure would hate to end up using a Pokémon I really didn't like though. Would you be starting a new file to do this on? Or how does the challenge work? :x

    If I were you I'd do both! You can always take a break from the other and its not like there's any rush. Right?

    I decided to choose my in-game team half based on appearance and competitiveness. When I beat the game I can easily breed the Pokémon I have to properly EV train them. Though I'm still unsure as to how IVs work. Either way I'll do my best to breed and retrain them once I beat the game. Also, I heard there's a way to reset your EVs at your Join Avenue so I may not even have to retrain them at all.

    I have chosen one based on attack. I'll be using Scolipede! I just need one more Pokémon for my team and I'll be done. What are your favorites?

    I saw a TCG challenge this morning here on the forums, where you use the Pokemon you get from a booster pack, and I might try that. I had TCGO installed, though I've only played for a couple of weeks a while ago and haven't played since. Well, apparently tomorrow I'm getting a free booster pack, so I'm going to see that as a sign and actually sign up for that challenge with the Pokemon I get, hehe.

    Though that would mean less time to play my Black 2. Aaah I don't know what to do :(

    You don't really need to chose your in-game team based on competitive reasons though. Plus, if you really want to try competitive battling, you'll need to EV train the Pokemon, and that'll be a lot more difficult if you've already used that Pokemon in your game.

    I don't really know, I have so many favorites. You already have 3 Special Attackers, so maybe try a Pokemon based on Attack?

    Well you just let me know if you ever need him back and you can have him in a heartbeat. I just wish I could rename it Miau. I feel it would be appropriate. :) I would really love to watch some of the newer movies, however I completely missed Diamond and Pearl so I feel fairly lost. I was tempted to pick up Platinum version though...

    I'm usually not a big fan of using Legendary Pokémon in my teams but I truly want this one here. I also don't know half of the Pokémon you mentioned which is half the reason I want to use more of this Generation in my team. :( No matter how hard I try though, I can't find it in me to want to use any of the starters. Hehe.

    I'm not necessarily doing a blind run. I choose my Pokémon very carefully based on which I liked. I have a bad habit of choosing those I like over ones I know are solid for anything competitive. I'll definitely have to choose a final Pokémon for my team though. I just don't know who I want. :(

    You have so many games! I'm struggling to find enough time to go through the main story on this one and here you are trying to play more than one at a time. Hehe. I'm still considering getting Platinum or Soul Silver but I feel I should wait until X & Y come out. This game should give me plenty to do until then.

    Do you by any chance have any recommendations for Gen 5 Pokémon?

    Poor guy was pretty much collecting dust in my PC, he's much better off with you -- please don't feel like you have to use it though. He's probably my favorite tiny legendary, mostly because I saw that movie where he ate macarons, and I love macarons ♥

    It's funny, because I never used any of those in my teams. My hall of fame teams were:

    White: Serperior, Darmanitan, Seismitoad, Carracosta, Swoobat, Durant.
    White 2: Samurott, Liepard, Ampharos, Arcanine, Lucario, Golurk.
    Black 2: Leavanny, Krookodile (N's), Swanna, Stoutland, Magnezone, Jellicent.

    I did drop some on the way, like Pignite, Golduck (I really wanted to use her, but she was so weak :(), and Panpour. And I've also trained and used Altaria, Starmie, Gallade, Clefable and others in the post-game battle facilities.

    Maybe you should consider the remaining gyms and the E4 and champion's teams to chose your final Pokemon. Or is it more or less a blind run?

    I'm... conflicted. I wanna do some more post-game stuff in my games, but I kinda want to play a challenge in some of the older games, like DPPt, RSE or FRLG. Decisions, decisions {XD}

    I can't help it. It's a special Pokémon. :(

    Thank you so much though. This means the world to me. :D

    Also! I'm about to start a new team. I dropped Growlithe, Electabuzz, and Lucario. I'm going to use some of the newer Pokémon instead. Except for Milotic, she's been one of my favorites since she came out.

    Current team :

    Lilligant
    Gothita
    Milotic

    Still need :
    Venipede
    ?????

    I'll also be using the Victini you have me once I get to level 50. :)

    Hehe, here we go again. There's nothing to feel bad about, and you can keep it, don't worry.

    You're very welcome, I'm glad I could help :)

    I still feel really bad. You can't get these anymore can you? Please tell me if you want it back. Just having it in my Pokedex is a great gift in itself.

    Ahh! Thank you so freaking much. I will cherish it and keep it in my team always. :(

    Also, I'm not a big fan of this generations starter Pokémon. I much prefer Lilligant. She's so pretty. Feel free to use it anyway you like or get rid of it. It's entirely up to you. :)

    I'm sorry for responding so late by the way. The website wasn't loading for me properly. :(

    You are the most wonderful person ever. <3

    Yup, I had two. You shouldn't have given my your Snivy though, I already transferred my Serperior from my first White game to my Black 2, so I'm going to keep yours as it is, in case you change your mind and want it back. Anyway, you ditched your started, blasphemy! Just joking, I totally did that with Pignite too.
