Heh, Iris (since I have white) wasn't that hard for me. I think the only gym leader I had a few problems with was Brycen, I took me around 3-4 trys.
Heh, good idea - I don't think i've done much, I've been watching Best Wishes and the dub, but I always watch the anime anyway. I did replay and finnish Emerald out of boredom though.
I watched the zoroark movie the day it aired, I was really mad to see them cut out the first 10 mins, but because TPCi complained - CN have put back the extra 10 mins on all future airings.
