yeah, i'll be raising a new team until i finish johto and get the national dex then i will probably replace one or two pokemon, trading them from platinum sounds like a good idea though, i would trade them across when i'm looking for one of the pokemon for my team and trade it across with a lucky egg attached to it lol, i'm sure the vaporeon will be pleased being back in kanto, i don't think giovanni will be the viridian city gym leader though as it will most likely be the rival from red and blue, it woud be good for him to appear at somepoint though
