Well, I love to go exploring places I haven't been, and I found the Spring Path. I got DeFog from the marsh, then went into the cave. Well, I made it past the three pillars, where I found Giratina. I couldn't believe my luck, because I hadn't even remembered it was there. Well, I didn't have a Poke ball that could catch him, but I was afraid that if i left it would be gone. So, in vain I tried to catch it, only to have it accidentally faint. Yea for me!

Professor W. July 28th, 2010 3:48 PM

Won my first Wi-Fi battle! My opponent used all OU, and I used UU and NU. He didn't know, so I don't blame him. But he battled REALLY well. Gastrodon took out his first three Pokemon and took Tyranitar's health down to almost half. Wailord did some decent damage, but got taken out on the second turn. Torterra finished him off, then took out his Umbreon with a Wood Hammer and Earthquake, along with damage from the sandstorm left by Tyranitar. His Zapdos came along and used Fly on Torterra, KOing him. I sent in Alakazam, who took loads of damage from fly, but managed to live to use Psychic to take a chunk out of his health. He took out Rapidash with Thunder, and I sent out Luxray. He used Thunder; it missed, and Luxray took him out with Thunderbolt. I was proud.

Reset Pokemon Platinum, so boring after you beat the Elite Four, I tried out the Battle Frontier but it didn't do it for me, so I currently have no file on Platinum right now because I'm on Vacation, so..

~Patrick~ August 3rd, 2010 5:24 PM

Just got Platinum version today... surprisingly this is the first time I'm playing a Sinnoh series game. I completely missed the boat with Diamond/Pearl.. but I figured I have enough time between now and Black/White to catch up.

Chose Turtwig as my starter, I'm currently in Jubilife City raising my team which consists of Starly, Bidoof, Kricketow, and Shinx. (besides my starter) I'm liking how this game starts off.

Morgnarok August 4th, 2010 8:24 AM

Pokemon Platinum Team:

Empoleon Lv.58

Torterra Lv.57

Infernape Lv. 61

Electivire Lv. 50

Metang Lv.34

Trapinch Lv.1

I Have Beat all the gym leaders and at the time stuck at the elite 4.So what i have been doing is fighting the elite 4 over and over for the extra xp for the low levels using lucky egg and exp share.

I have been able to beat 3 of the 4 elite 4 with no issues.

~Patrick~ August 5th, 2010 6:57 PM

So in my game I just reached Eterna City, pretty much saw the Statue, got my Underground Kit and then I just called it a night.

Right now my team consists of Grotle, Luxio, Staravia, Psyduck, Ponyta, and Machop they are mostly lv 18, or 17. From what I take the next Gym uses Grass types so I'm getting Ponyta, and Staravia ready.

Arolu August 7th, 2010 5:42 AM

I stopped playing for a while and since Thursday I've gotten quite far...
I first was at the Valley Windworks fighting off Team Galactic, now, it's Saturday and I've gone and caught Dialga and Uxie. Such fun! :D

I was suprised at how easy Dialga was to catch. At first, my team fainted as I only has 2 Pokemon left after the constant battles with team Galactic... But, I came back, fully prepared.

After a few hits of Surf from my Empoleon, I then used Super Fang with my Pachirisu, halfing Dialga's HP gradually. Then, I used Hypnosis from my Noctowl and threw 1 Duskball. And it caught! I was so suprised; catching a Legendary in one has never happened to me before.

I used a strategy simmilar to this when catching Uxie and caught it on the 8th Dusk Ball I threw. Yay!

Things just seem to be getting better and better. I think now I'll catch the others of the Psychic Trio and then train for the last Gym and Elite Four.

Pochama95 August 7th, 2010 1:43 PM

I've been legend hunting, so far I've gotten all the Regi(s), the dragon trio, the psychic trio, and Creselies (however u spell it). Heatran is all thats left before I reset the game. I'll also train with the gymleaders b4 the reset

The Fourteenth Doctor August 10th, 2010 1:22 AM

I just received Pokemon Platinum in the post which I bought from Ebay, I'm currently on Diamond catching a few random pokemon in the grass that I'm going to trade for some of the pokemon the previous owner left in the game (Prinplup Lv34, Togetic Lv30, Roselia Lv19, Staravia Lv19 and Chansey Lv19).

Gulpin August 10th, 2010 4:13 AM

After not knowing what to do with my completed Diamond version (on it I've had a live Pokedex, and many shinies/events/ev trained Pokemon), I've finally had the time to clean up my boxes (much help to MyPokemonRanch on Wii) and make a nice organized trade thread. And now I've finally figured out how to abuse the RNG to get me some good natured shinies :D

The Fourteenth Doctor August 10th, 2010 6:03 AM

Traded a few pokemon from Platinum so I could delete the previous owner's save file, now that I've started a new game I'm working my way towards getting the second badge with just Monferno, then after the battle I'll add the traded Roselia to my team as it's level is too high (It's lower than Monferno but won't obey me yet), I'll be adding Togetic after the 4th gym badge.

Team;

Monferno Lv21


In PC

Roselia Lv19
Togetic Lv30

Update: Just defeated Gardenia, I'm going to add Roselia to my team now and start training it to catch up with Monferno

Team;

Monferno Lv32
Roselia Lv20

~Patrick~ August 10th, 2010 7:29 PM

Progressed quite a bit in my Platinum game. Worked my way up towards achieving the 4th badge.. had some key evolutions tonight.. Grotle into Torterra, Kirlia into Gallade, Gligar into Gliscor, Luxio into Luxray... and I caught a Houndour which is now a Houndoom.. to replace Ponyta.

Probably going to train a little more tomorrow, then I'll head to Pastoria.

The Fourteenth Doctor August 11th, 2010 4:18 AM

Just defeated Maylene, now that Pokemon up to Lv50 will obey I'm going to add Roselia and Togetic to my team (I had only been using Roselia in double battles after it reached lv31 and only started using Togetic for the battle with Maylene), my team is a bit overlevelled as up until I got the second badge I only used my starter.

Team;

Infernape Lv37
Gastrodon Lv36
Roselia Lv34
Bronzong Lv36
Togetic Lv31

~Patrick~ August 11th, 2010 4:49 AM

Anyone notice that in D/P/Pl it seems like it takes forever to get the the 3rd/4th gyms?... compared to the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn games you are traveling a lot before you get those badges.

The Fourteenth Doctor August 11th, 2010 12:27 PM

Just defeated Bryon, my team is still slightly overlevelled but should even out once I catch a Sneasel and start training it.

Team;

Infernape Lv46
Gastrodon Lv45
Roserade Lv44
Bronzong Lv44
Togekiss Lv44

The Fourteenth Doctor August 13th, 2010 12:20 PM

I've just entered Victory Road am heading through to the pokemon League, I'm aiming to get my team to Lv55 before I challenge the Elite 4

Team:

Infernape Lv52
Gastrodon Lv52
Roserade Lv52
Froslass Lv52
Magnezone Lv51
Togekiss Lv52

The Fourteenth Doctor August 14th, 2010 1:33 PM

Update: I just defeated the Elite 4 after losing 3 or 4 times (1st time I lost to Flint's Magmortar, 2nd time I lost to Lucian's Alakazam, 3rd and 4th time I lost to Cynthia's Garchomp which is too damn fast), I got to Garchomp with 2 pokemon left (had to revive one just to revive Froslass), I restored Froslass to full health and managed to use Ice Beam which OHKOd Garchomp, I'm going to aim on getting the national dex now (I already have the three legendary pokemon).

Team:

Infernape Lv58
Gastrodon Lv58
Roserade Lv57
Magnezone Lv54
Togekiss Lv59
Froslass Lv58

Lieutenant Unstable August 15th, 2010 9:19 AM

Started playing platinum again yesterday after a brief hiatus. Finished off the Team Galactic goons at Stark Mountain so I can rebattle the gym leaders and catch Heatran. Woo!

Other than that, all I've been doing is chaining for shinies and whatnot, :P

Amore August 17th, 2010 3:06 AM

Reset my Diamond game, because I thought it'd be fun, as I don't really know my way around Sinnoh, compared to how I know Kanto, Johto and Hoenn like the back of my hand (Hoenn less so, haven't played Emerald for over 2 years now).

I named me "Diamond" and my rival "Pearl".

Chose Chimchar as a starter, then quickly captured Starly and Budew.

Budew easily took on Roark, however he had used Growth twice whilst nearly being KO'd by 2 successive Rock Throws from Geodude. Mega Drain took it out easily :P

In Jubilife TV Station, I nearly got defeated by a woman using a lv.17 Chatot (my team was lv.14-7). Scary times.

Outside Valley Windworks, Starly evolved after KOing a Buizel I was attempting to capture. I then stormed right through all of Team Galactic, however after a close fight, Mars' Purugly defeated him. Monferno then promptly finished it off with Mach Punch.

I'm now in Eterna, having caught a Buizel before entering Eterna Forest, then raising it between Eterna City and Mount Coronet. Just about to go to the gym, but, first things first, I have to do a couple of challenges for the "underground man".....

My team:

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/3f/Spr_4d_391.png
Timid

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/76/Spr_4d_397_m.png
Naughty

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/8e/Spr_4d_406.png
Serious

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/64/Spr_4d_418_m.png
Naive

That will probably be my team set, until I get to Iron Island, unless I really fall in love with something randomly....(Hippopotas is the most likely, however I don't know where to find one...)

jammi567 August 18th, 2010 1:12 PM

I restarted my Platinum game, and decided to pick Turtwig, for once (have always previously picked Chimchar, simply for how awesome it is). It's currently level 10, with a Bold Nature.

I've also picked up a Shinx with a Modest Nature. Currently training both of them up to level 14.

Edit: Got them both to level 14 before fighting my Rival Barry. I managed to 3HKO his team, I was that overleveled.

Afterwards, went through the cave area, fough Roark in the mines, and managed to, again, 3HKO him. My Turtwig managed to evolve in the process, and Shinx followed shortly afterwards. The Galactic gruts were too easy for me as well, and Dawn wasn't any help at all, naturally.

Current team:

Luxio: Level 16, Modest Nature

Moves: Tackle, Leer, Charge, Spark

Stats: 50 HP, 32 Attack, 25 Defence, 27 Sp. Attack, 25 Sp. Defence, 25 Speed


Grotle: Level 18, Bold Nature

Moves: Return, Curse, Razor Leaf, Absorb

Stats: 58 HP, 37 Attack, 39 Defence, 25 Sp. Attack, 30 Sp. Defence, 22 Speed

Silhouette August 19th, 2010 2:19 PM

Surmonter August 25th, 2010 12:46 PM

JAK3 August 26th, 2010 3:00 AM

Awmahgawd, new Adventure ahead!
Some typing is coming ahead.
  • Alrighty, so I went through all the Rowan stuff blah blah, same old same old.
  • Named myself "Chimney" because Chimney is probably one of the coolest words out there.
  • Then I thought of an awesome name for my rival, and just decided that "Cleedis" met his standards.
  • Then, next thing that happened, was I wuz watchin' some Tee Vee, and then music was playin' and I stepped to leave my room, and Cleedis came in my room and was like: "There you are! Hey, Chimney! Did you just see the TV? Sure you did! Prof. Rowan's that really important guy who studies Pokemon, right? That means he must have lots and lots of Pokemon. So, if we ask him, I bet he'd give us some Pokemon! [!} Oh hey! Is this a new PC?! Uh... Where was I? Oh, right, right! We're going to see Prof. Rowan and get some Pokemon. I'll be waiting outside. OK, Chimney? If you're late, I'm fining you $10 million!
  • And then I was freaking out because my DS power button turned red! So, I saved and turned off the Power!

Team Overview:
Total amount of Team members: None.
Total amount of badges collected: None.
Total Progress: Pretty much, none.

Team:
None..

Expected Team Members to come:

FlameDancer August 26th, 2010 11:40 PM

After defeating Commander Mars at Valley Windworks in Platinum, I crossed the bridge on Route 205. After battling some trainers, my Pokémon and I rested inside a little red house. I then continued north in to Eterna Forest.

In Eterna Forest, I was confronted by a trainer named Cheryl who asked if I would travel through Eterna Forest with her because of a fear of Team Galactic. I accepted and we made our way through Eterna Forest using a Lv. 20 Chansey (Cheryl) and a Lv. 16 Zubat (me). After every battle, her Chansey would heal my Pokémon. After many double battles, Cheryl and I arrived at the end of Eterna Forest. She thanked me and we both departed.

Back on Route 205, I battled some fisherman and raised all my Pokémon to Lv. 20 (except for Abra who I evolved in to a Kadabra by raising her to Lv. 16). Finally, I arrived in Eterna City.

In Eterna City, Nick greeted me and took me to see the town's statue which showed a legendary Pokémon. After he left, I met a girl named Cynthia who had previously been helping Professor Rowan's research by completing the Pokédex, like myself. She gave me HM01 - Cut. Then a girl in the town's Pokémon Center gave me an application for my Pokétch called a Friendship Checker which identifies how much the Pokémon on your team like you. So far, my results are:

Grotle: ♥♥
Staravia: ♥♥
Bibarel: ♥♥
Luxio: ♥♥
Kadabra: ♥♥
Zubat:

Next, a man named Underground Man gave me an Explorer Kit which instantly takes you to Sinnoh's Underground. I tried it out and was greeted underground by Roark. I couldn't find much to do, so I went back up. Inside the Eterna Condominiums, an old lady on the second floor gave me TM67 - Recycle. Finally, I headed to Eterna's Pokémon Gym.

I easily took down Eterna's Pokémon Gym which specializes in grass Pokémon with Staravia and Zubat using Wing Attack. After defeating the Gym Leader, Gardenia, I was rewarded with the Forest Badge which allows you to use Cut outside of battle. Gardenia also gifted me with TM86 - Grass Knot. Next, I headed to Team Galactic's recently built building.

Before I entered Team Galactic's building, I picked up TM46 - Thief. Inside, I defeated a couple Galactic Grunts before battling another Team Galactic commander, Commander Jupiter. The battle was very intense, and I barely won with my Staravia. After Commader Jupiter's defeat, Team Galactic left Eterna City. A man who had been captured by Team Galactic who owned the town's bike shop thanked me for saving his Pokémon that had been stolen by Team Galactic. I followed him to his bike shop, and he rewarded me with a gear-changing Bicycle. I then rode my new Bicycle on to Route 211.

On Route 211, I battled some trainers, picked up some items including TM12 - Taunt, and caught some wild Pokémon. I also explored what I could of Mt. Coronet for some more items. Finally, I went back to Eterna City and continued my adventure on Route 206.

In the city gate, Dawn's father, one of Professor Rowan's assistants, examined my Pokédex and happily gave me an Exp. Share (of course, right after I evolved my Abra >_<). Then I hopped on my Bicycle and cruised down Cycling Road, battling every trainer I could. In the next transit gate, a girl gave me a decorative Flag which I put in my Fashion Case. Outside, I collected more items, caught wild Pokémon, and battled other trainers like usual. I also tried to explore Wayward Cave, but it got too challenging without Flash. Finally, I went back to Oreburgh City to heal my Pokémon at the Pokémon Center and continued on Route 207.

On Route 207, after battling some trainers, Dawn greeted me and gave me a Vs. Seeker. In addition, she also gave me a Dowsing Machine application for my Pokétch which helps you locate invisible items. I then continued down Route 207 and entered Mt. Coronet.

In Mt. Coronet, a man with blue hair who I had seen before talked to me about Sinnoh's history before exiting. There wasn't much else to do, so I left as well on to Route 208.

On Route 208, I did the same routine; battled trainers, caught wild Pokémon, and collected items including an Odd Keystone. I also entered a house that belonged to a man named The Berry Master who gives trainers, such as myself, a new berry daily. The little girl in the house also gave me a Berry Searcher application for my Pokétch. After that, I continued east and finally arrived in the beautiful Hearthome City.

When I arrived in Hearthome City, I noticed a Pokémon running towards me. It bumped in to me and a girl named Keira came and thanked me for stopping her Pokémon from running away. As a thanks, she told me to come to the Contest Hall, so she could reward me. I then went to the Pokémon Fan Club where I received a Poffin Case from the chairman. Next I got a Shell Bell from a lady inside the building next to the Pokémon Fan Club. After that, I went to the town's Poffin House and experienced making my first Poffin. That's when I learned that I am not a Poffin maker. xD Then I went in to a house that belonged to a girl named Bebe who is the admin of the Pokémon Box storage system. Bebe gave me an Eevee which she had gotten from her friend in another region. Finally, I went to the Contest Hall where I saw Keira again with... my mom?! Keira rewarded me with Glitter Powder for my Fashion Case, and my mom explained about contests before giving me a Tuxedo to enter contests in. My mom left, and I talked to a man who gave me a Mild Poffin. I ended up entering some contests with my Eevee. My favorite contest is dancing. After that, I talked to the town's Gym Leader who was in the Contest Hall, and she went back to her Gym. I also tried walking through Amity Square with my Grotle.

All of this happened yesterday when I played Platinum for 7 hours straight. o_o I am now training all my Pokémon up to Lv. 25 in preparation for the town's Gym. I was planning on catching Drifloon today, but Floaroma Town is too far away, so I'm not even going to bother until I can use Fly. xD;

I forgot to mention that Cynthia also gave me a Pokémon egg. It turned out to be a Togepi.

Surmonter August 27th, 2010 12:03 AM

*yawn* It's 4 in the morning

Let's see..

- I beat all of Team Galactic.
- Caught Girantina in a Dusk Ball after 10 tries, my Lopunny's ThunderPunch got it into the red with 2 consecutive critical hits and paralzyzed it on the third without killing it.
- Caught Azlef in a Dusk Ball after 16 tries, my Lopunny's ThunderPunch again paralyzed it.
- Caught Uxie after 72 Dusk Balls -___-

Chub 777 August 27th, 2010 12:22 AM

Let's see...

  • Started from Fight Area
  • Healed up and went to Route 225
  • Leveled Poisonking (Nidoking) Lvl 47-Lvl 48
  • Trained Draco (Shelgon)

Surmonter August 27th, 2010 12:18 PM

- Beat the eigth gym.
- Went through Victory Road.
- Started the Elite Four with 192 Pokemon already seen, so I think I will only need one if any Pokemon to see after I beat the E4 to get the national dex.
- Beat first Elite Four member.
- Beat the next three easily.
- Beat Cynthia.

She was absolutely horrible this time.

My team was Empoleon, Bronzong (with Heatproof), Carnivine, and Lopunny. Those were the Pokemon I brought besides two extras I just switch to to heal. Obviously I had problems.

The biggest problem was Garchomp. The first time I battled her she sweeped my entire team with it. The second time, I equipped my Empoleon (has Ice Beam) with a Quick Claw in hopes that I will get lucky. Luckily, it activated and my Ice Beam got a Critical Hit on Garchomp killing it. The rest of the Pokemon were still hard, but not as hard. Had to use about 10 Full Restores and Revives during the entire battle. >___>;

- Have a total of 206 seen Pokemon. I only need to see Snover and Porygon. *goes to get Porygon in Veilstone and to battle a wild Snover*
- Got National Dex.
- Got Poke Radar
- Got Poke Radar APP
- Swarm is Phanpy. :(
- Pokemon Mansion swarm is Meowth. But I need Ditto. However I will still catch a Meowth because I need a Buneary with Switcheroo.
- Am reseting to get Ditto. Here is what I got: Cleffa, Clefairy..DITTO! :D
- Bred a male Meowth.
- Beat the rich couple down by the mansion for money. Thanks to it, my Meowth is now level 22.
- Bought 450 Max Repels
- Began to search for Feebas.
- Got bored as soon as I typed that, so I will get one on the GTS. XD;
- Got a Super Rod and beat the Flint/Volkner double battle.
- Since I had to reset to midnight a few times to get Ditto, the swarm changed to Farfetch'd.
- Going to chain Snorunt in 20 minutes when it turns into night.
- I now have about 30 Heart Scales, 20 Skull Fossils (and one Helix and Claw Fossil), and 20 of each shard except blue shards, which I only have 10 of because I taught Lopunny some elemental punches.
- Chain of 1 Snorunt o:
- That broke at 19. :( Current chain at 17. Broke right when I edited with this. Ugh. Why can I never chain Snorunt? Every other Pokemon is just fine. But Snorunt always gives me trouble.
- Chain of 1 Sneasle :3
- Got bored.
- My Meowth evolved into Persian, and I just taught it Switcheroo so I can breed for a Shiny Buneary with Klutz and Switcheroo! :D
- Just hatched two Shiny Bunearys, one has Klutz one has Run Away. Both have Switcheroo and Fake out!
- Hm..I never knew that sometimes when you look through the Croagunk sign, a Croagunk walks up the screen! See?

FlameDancer August 27th, 2010 7:42 PM

I finally got sick of trying to obtain a Pidgey with a Timid Nature on Platinum, so I decided to breed my Quilava with my Ditto to get a Cyndaquil with a Timid or Modest Nature. The first Egg that hatched was a Cyndaquil with a Timid Nature. I taught him TM50 (Substitute) and TM11 (Sunny Day). I then began EV Training the Cyndaquil on Route 201 with the help of an Exp. Share. So far I've battled four Bidoof (HP), two Growlithe (Attack), and 16 Starly (Speed) which means I still need 236 more EV's in Speed and 252 more EV's in Special Attack.

Surmonter August 27th, 2010 9:17 PM

YES!

I just beat the fronteir brain for the Battle Factory on my first run through the factory! YES!

Oh I am so excited, I beat him by pure luck, and I only won with 8 HP left, and if my last attack would have missed (because his Wailord used Double Team like 5 times) I would have lost!

YEES!

Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIIk0cR4JJc

His Pokemon were Walrein, Nidoking, and Wailord. I had Linoone, Gorebyss, and Torkoal.

I started with Linoone and he started with Walrein. I used Switcheroo because Linoone was holding a Choice Scarf (or lens or whatever it's called.) Walrein was stuck using Swagger. Linoone was confused and had a higher attack stat, so I used Frustration and took out Walrein with a critical hit! He sent out Nidoking, I used Dig. He killed me in one hit with Earthquake. I think sent out Gorebyss and used Surf. His Earthquake hit first, taking half my HP away, but Surf was a 1-hit KO. Gorebyss's Shell Bell healed about 1/6th of the HP. He then sent out Walrein, I used Psychic and he used Double Team. Psychic hit and took a 1/3 of his HP. I then switched to Torkoal and he used Double Team again. I had Torkoal use Earth Power, luckily Torkoal's Quick Claw kicked in and I hit first, taking him down to the low yellow. He used Surf and killed me. I switched to Gorebyss. I commanded to use Psychic, he used Double Team and Psychic missed. I used Psychic again and he used Surf, his surf left me with 8 HP points, but my Psychic hit, killing Walrein and winning me the battle!

Edit:
- Beat the two trainers on Route 212 again to get 450,000 dollars so I can get my Shiny Buneary to evolve at Level 2.
- Got a Flame Orb, 5 HP Ups, 5 Proteins, and 5 Calciums with my 32 BPs that I got.
- Swarm is Cubone.
- Mansion swarm is Igglybuff.
- I now have a Level 2 Shiny Lopunny XD;
- Taught it Ice Punch, just for now. And Return.
- Got it to level 5, will chain Starly and Bidoof for EVs tomorrow.
- Got to a streak of 28 in the Battle Factory. Time for sleep.

Faline August 28th, 2010 6:00 AM

Well after I finished EV training my new team I decided I would challenge the League for the second time. But I had just gotten them all up to level 50 for the Battle Frontier. So I raised them all up to level 60 before I went to challenge the League. I beat Aaron on the 2nd try, Bertha on the 1st, Flint on the 1st, and Lucian on the 1st. Cynthia was another story. I was pretty frustrated so I lost count on how many times I reset. It probably would have been easier had I left Empoleon in there, he's part of my team but I wanted to try my Metagross. Plus her pokemon were 15-18 levels higher than me. But I ended up beating her eventually.

Kinda just cooling off right now, lawl~ :D

Just helped Mira out of Wayward Cave, also evolved Bidoof at level 15 (hm slave.)

Need to do a bit of grinding so will probably hang around Wayward Cave for a while, hopefully catch a Gible aswell. (Ran into Two, one knocked himself out the other I had no Pokeballs. >.>)


EDIT (02.09.2010);; Trained Buizel from level 14 to level 18, intend to get him to level 23-24 like the rest of my team, still no sign of Gible though :(

Clefairies September 3rd, 2010 4:34 PM

Haven't played since the second, but so far my platinum journey is going really well. ^_^

Still training Buziel, who is currently 21 (training to 23, for now.) I also finally caught a GIBLE! in a POKEBALL, which I am really pleased about, Female, Bashful Nature, she will be perfect for my playthrough team (I don't battle competitively) she is next on my list to be trained.

Now I'm getting to the point of the game where I'm starting to get bored since the storyline has already been completed. I'm concentrating more on getting new pokemon and filling up my Pokedex.

Ok so a few days ago I randomly put a Monferno into the GTS thing seeking for Dialga thinking that the trade will probably won't happen.

Last night I went into the GTS thing again for the first time in several days and all of a sudden I saw the Pokeball coming towards my end (as if there was a trade) and out came Dialga - Level 47 and "apparently met at the Spear Pillar" (therefore legit)

Wow..

Okay, it's been 2 days and this is my progress so far:

Got the Bicycle and am on my way to Hearthrome City. I'm currently deciding on slot 6 for my team, thinking about a Glaceon.

As for the gyms, my Psyduck completely destroyed all 3 of Roark's Pokémon. Disable = win. Disabled Cranidos's Headbutt, was good. Gardenia fell to the awesome combo of Monferno's Flame Wheel and Staravia's Wing Attack.

girliehhhhhh September 15th, 2010 6:55 AM

...Or do you have a Pokemon with Dig? That's like having infinite Escape Ropes...

Diamond
In Diamond, I spent the last few minutes training my Lucario, who is seriously behind all my other Pokemon. Not to mention he had a moveset consisting of Counter, Force Palm, Reversal, and Metal Sound at the time. >.< I trained him in whatever the route is just north of Solaceon--I like that place because Chansey appear there occasionally. Occasionally he got into long and boring battles with Kricketune, but still managed to get all the way to level 32 (he started at 28) and learn Me First. Maybe I should head to the move tutor in Pastoria and teach him Screech or something...

Today the news centre in Solaceon asked for a Mismagius... O.o How am I supposed to get a Mismagius in Diamond with only one DS, wi-fi problems, and no hacking methods?

Pearl:
In preparation for my sixth badge, I leveled my best Pokemon up to level 40 at least. I also taught a bunch of moves to my Pokemon: my Empoleon learned Surf and Stealth Rock, my Roselia learned Leech Seed and Aromatherapy, my Purugly learned Hypnosis, and my Misdreavus learned Perish Song. I also evolved my Roselia and Misdreavus, since they're kind of done with their moveset. (Time to update the banner in my sig...)

Then I got my sixth badge! Of all of Byron's Pokemon, the hardest was his little Bronzor... My Purugly whittled at the Bronzor's HP with Faint Attack while frequently falling asleep and being hit by Flash Cannon. (And Byron healed the ******* with a Hyper Potion.) But at least she ended up with more than half HP left after finally defeating it. My Empoleon OHKO'd his Steelix with Surf, and my Mismagius finished off Bastiodon by stalling with Perish Song. The stupid thing was that Bastiodon used Rest twice while his HP was full... the dumb dinosaur.

After that I just defeated Team Galactic officials in Lake Valor and Lake Verity. I have yet to journey to Lake Acuity.

Amore September 26th, 2010 12:01 PM

Ok, so I'm drawing out my games by playing them alongside eachother, xD

I've just restarted Platinum, alongside HeartGold.

- Gave this scary-looking old dude all my personal information, aswell as that of my friend Barry. Hope Barry doesn't mind....
- Speaking of Barry....here he is now! So, we headed out to Route 201, where that old guy turned up, yelled a bit, introduced himself as Prof. Rowan, then offered us some pokemon. Barry said I could go first...I though he was being nice, until he chose the pokemon with a type advantage against me....
- Battled Barry, just won it, luckily. I was worried, but it turns out Chimchar didn't use his arss to burn Turtwig, so Turtwig withdrew like the Squirtle I was on t.v, before attacking and eventually winning it.
- Journeyed to Sandgem Town upon the advice of mom, where Prof. Rowan then gave me a Pokedex. Dawn then showed me how to capture pokemon she's hot, and now I'm definitely in there. I then proceeded to capture all the different pokemon I could on Routes 201 and 202, aswell as checking out Lake Verity too (me and Barry went their earlier, and there was this weirdo called Cyrus talking about a pokemon in the lake...surprised Barry didn't tell him he'd catch it first, he's normally cocky, but I guess that guy was just too....weird, even for Barry). Not many pokemon around here, but better than there used to be. I then headed off northwards.
- Reached Jubilife City, this guy called Looker interrupted me just when me and Dawn were about to get it on turned up, we got him very confused, it was hilarious. After that, I went to the Pokemon Center and got some shut-eye....

Update!

Going to keep this short, seeing as it's 2 days later, and I need to go in 5 minutes....


- Got a Mild Male Shinx with Intimidate outside Jubilife, shortly after defeated Barry (it impressed me by putting me into OHKO range of the Zubat belonging to the next trainer I faced). So he's been added to the team, and Sneasel's going.
- Went mining, found an Onix.
- Back in Oreburgh Gym I defeated Roark, the Gym Leader. And, in the process, Turtwig evolved! (He'd had a lot of "training" - Draining energy out of every Geodude in Oreburgh - in Oreburgh Mine).
- Trained in Oreburgh Gate again, catching a Golbat. Shinx looked excited for some reason...
- Back in Jubilife City, I saved Prof. Rowan and Dawn from Team Galactic, and Shinx evolved! Well, I say "saved"......Shinx and Grotle had never done doubles before...(Grotle still hasn't), so Shinx ended up taking out Dawn's Piplup, then Team Galactic's pokemon aswell. All in all, a success from a failure!
- Went inside Jubilife T.V to explore, unlocked "Mystery Gift" but can't get any...


Update!

Well, I've done loads since last updating, catching a fair amount of pokemon....

- Currently in Eterna City, having obtained the Forest Badge (Drifloon's Stockpile meant Gardenia never even got it below 1/2 hp), travelled to Eterna Forest to capture Rotom (clock manipulation, as the music actually stops me sleeping if I play it at night), went round Eterna Forest back to Floaroma, then back to Eterna City. About to go raid investigate the strange building behind the cut trees.....

n.b. Silcoon is there as it's faster to level it up than catch a Beautifly in Eterna Forest. Budew is there to use Cut (I'll distribute HMs properly when I get my full team of 6)

tobi-ksla October 3rd, 2010 4:47 AM

I'm currently leveling up my Ludicolo and Tentacruel to Level 100. Ludicolo's currently Lv 72 while Tentacruel is Lv 80.

I'm actually taking a break from that so that I can search for a piece of Black Sludge for my Tentacruel. Good thing Croagunk can be found in the wild in Platinum.

Amore October 3rd, 2010 11:00 AM

Just done a little team organising, as well as adding my fifth and sixth members...

- I gave out some useful moves: Cut to Drifloon, Flash to Grotle, and also Rock Smash to Buizel, as the latter was underperforming due to lack of strong physical moves with any coverage. It paid off, he's levelled up to be on par with the others, and learned Aqua Jet.

The team:

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/18/Spr_4p_418_m.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b1/Spr_4p_388.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/0e/Spr_4p_404_m.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/f9/Spr_4p_425.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7a/Spr_4p_410.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/07/Spr_4p_175.png

After celebrating having the right ID number to obtain Shieldon (always get Skull Fossils, and I have Diamond, not Pearl), I wouldn't have paid any attention to it, however, I was reading Coronis' summaries on Serebii, about how Dia's Shieldon took 5 attacks at the same time, and thought "naa...that can't be right, it'll have horrendous special defense". I then looked at my Shieldon's stats, saw it had a huge special defense to go with its' huge defense, then gave it to my team. It's mainly used when I need to heal another team-mate, as its' never been 4HKO'd by a super-effective move yet, so any Rare Candies I find tend to go straight to him.

Cynthia's Togekiss' egg hatched into a little Togepi, whom I've decided to keep, as it's cute. However, it'll be more of a reserve 7th member of my team, and may be pulled in for Battle Frontier.

Caught a bunch of Pokémon, challenging Volkner tomorrow.

lilninjapig October 10th, 2010 2:14 AM

Today, I started a Nuzlocke challenge on Pokemon Platinum, using these rules from the challenge thread:


1. If a Pokemon Faints, its dead, release it.
3. You can only catch/recieve one Pokemon in each Area. A town is one area, a route is one area, a cave is one area, etc. If you fail to catch a Pokemon for any reason (other than game corruption) than too bad.
4. You must nickname all of your Pokemon
5. No catching legendaries. (Its funner if you act like Nuzlocke and kill all the legendaries).
6. Trading sort of ruins the purpose. Egg trading is okay, same thing with Pokemon that can't have eggs.
7. Change the battle style to SET.

I decided to play as the female trainer for once, having never used her. I named myself Dawn xD I named my rival Drew.

As I made my way onto Route 201, I realized that I may never get the chance to catch a Pokemon here. :/ I decided that I could bend the rules a tiny bit, that as soon as I had PokeBalls I would return here and catch the very first Pokemon I see.

It soon came to the point where I had to choose a Starter Pokemon. I decided on choosing Chimchar, as it would be the most effective during the Gym Battles. I began my first battle with my rival...

He had chosen a Piplup, of course. Thankfully, Chimchar was faster, and I won with 11HP leftover. :D He leveled up to Level 6. ^^ I began to think of possible nicknames...I looked at my Chimchar. His Sp. Defense was lacking compared to his other stats. Ah well...time to begin my adventure and hope I don't fail at the first hurdle. DX

Surprisingly, I didn't encounter any Pokemon in Route 201, so I could definitely return and catch something. I'm hoping for a Starly...

At Rowan's I nicknamed my Chimchar 'Omi'. He would be the leader of my team, which I knew I'd probably grow very attached to.

Starter: Omi the Chimchar

Next, I returned to Route 201, and caught a female Bidoof. I nicknamed her Biffa. :D

Route 201: Biffa the Bidoof

Now, I shall begin training my two Pokemon. Here's hoping they will be companions for a long time...

November 21:

During route 210, I caught myself a Scyther. I traded it over towards my SS then traded it back over to Platinum with a Metal Coat. Scyther went up to level 30 instead of level 21 and had evolved into a Scizor. Gliscor got put away in the PC as we headed over to the Lost tower to do some battle training. Togekiss leveled up to level 28 while Gallade leveled up to level 27. Still training to take on Maylene though. We might be ready to take her on soon.

Team Level:

Grotle: 30
Rotom: 28
Vaporeon: 29
Gallade: 27
Togekiss: 28
Scizor: 30

Quicksand. November 24th, 2010 1:20 AM

ive only played diamond briefly in the past, and ive had this real craving for pokemon lately. the last time i played, i chose turtwig, so nothing new there. while walking through the routes, i encounted many starlys and bidoofs. looking at their evos, they wernt all that appealing(design-wise). luxray on the other hand looks pro, so i opted for a shinx. continuing along my journey, im not sure what overcame me, but i captured and began to train a zubat. during the training process, i got so fed up with his wimpy attacks, i slapped hidden power into his roster. so far, its an okay attack that is certianly better than leech life. while lounging around ravaged path, i decided to obtain a psyduck. she was the second pokemon i encountered in the cave. i figure she will help loads with the oreburgh gym.

heres my team.


Turtwig | F | 13
- Absorb
- Razor Leaf
- Tackle
- Withdraw

Shinx | M | 12
- Charge
- Leer
- Tackle

Zubat | M | 10
- Astonish
- Hidden Power (bug)
- Leech Life
- Supersonic

Psyduck | F | 12
- Scratch
- Tail Whip
- Water Gun
- Water Sport

Chartyblaze November 26th, 2010 5:03 AM

AshPikastar November 26th, 2010 10:45 PM

November 27:

My team was ready to take on Maylene! The team was now up to around level 30 and up. I only used Gallade and Scizor for this battle. Once we gotten our victory, we took out Team Galatic while using my Togekiss. Without doing any more training, I took down Jun(Rival) and then headed straight towards the gym. It was a pretty tough battle since I only used my Torterra and Rottom but we were able to get our fifth badge. After doing more chasing with Team Galactic, we headed over to Celestic town. It was time to face Cyrus and man was he a tough cookie. Ice punch kept on nailing me but I was glad that Gallade was able handle it. Once the battle ended, I did a little training and had caught myself a shiny Meditite! Now my team is at Iron Island doing more training once defeating Jun again which was pretty easy when my team was at low level.

Team level:

Torterra: 34
Rotom: 34
Vaporeon: 34
Gallade: 34
Togekiss: 33
Scizor: 33

Weavile05 January 1st, 2011 11:56 AM

I just got an R4i so just for no apparent reason I decided to download a Platinum ROM even though I have a legit cartridge and record my Progress here.

Plato's Sinnoh Adventure's Part 1
Brendan had just been watching TV waiting for his friend to show up. They had arranged to get together and play Super Smash Bros Brawl that day. Plato was getting a little anxious. Just as he decided to ask his Mom if he could call him, Plato's friend came rushing up the stairs.
"Hey Chill, what's up? Said Plato. "Heya! Plato!" said Chill, "You just saw the TV right? So I was thinking, Prof Rowan's a pokemon Professor, maybe he has some Pokemon he can give us some! Let's Go!". "But Chill, we were supposed to play Brawl today." whined Plato. "Yeah, Yeah, we can reschedule that. Now let's go!". Plato sighed. 'To be named chill, he certainly can't chill out, can he?'

Plato went over to Chill's house, just as Chill came bursting through the door, slamming into him. Then Chill realized he forgot something, and ran back inside. Plato followed. He could never seem to keep up with Chill, because somehow he couldn't run without Running Shoes. As soon as Plato came up the stairs, Chill was already on his way down, rushing out to Route 201. Plato followed.

Chill started leading them into the tall grass, Plato became very worried. "Dude! We can't go in there, we'll be eaten alive by Bidoof and scavenged by Starly! What are you thinking!?" Chill responded, "Relax man, I've got an idea, we'll just dash through so fast that wild pokemon won't have a chance to get us.". 'Yeah that's gonna work' Plato mumbled under his breath. "Fine then, Prove IT!". Plato dared him. "Okay then!" Chill prepared to dash quickly into the tall grass. Just as he was at the edge, a voice shouted "HOLD IT!!!" They both flinched and turned around to see Prof. Rowan. "... Professor Rowan! Just who we wanted to see! Can we have a Pokemon?" Chill asked, Plato remained quiet. "Two kids who recklessly endanger themselves to get pokemon...? It worries me how pokemon might be treated in the hands of kids like you...", Said Proffessor Rowan. "...Ok.... but give one to my friend here... he tried to stop me... he warned me it would be dangerous... I'm the dangerous one here." Chill responded. Professor Rowan thought and then said, "That noble behavior... it is to be acknowledged. Very well, both of you shall recieve a pokemon! Here you go.... wait... where is that briefcase...

Just then, a young girl who appeared to be acquainted with Professor Rowan walked up holding a Briefcase, telling him he left it at the lake. He reffered to her as Dawn. "What I was about to do was entrust these two with their own pokemon." Dawn appeared shocked, "Are you sure? Those pokemon are very hard to replace. You might want to think before you just give them away!" Rowan retaliated with, "I HAVE thought about it thank you. These children can do great things with pokemon, I'm sure of it!". "Well... as long as you're sure, I'm fine with it.", Dawn said. 'Very well then, pick one of these three." Said Rowan. Chill then said "you pick first Plato!". Plato knew that he just wanted to pick whatever his couldn't do much against, but he didn't say anything.

None of the pokemon really interested Plato. But he could always just use it to catch more. He picked a Chimchar. Of course, Chill picked a Piplup. Professor Rowan gave them a "Good Luck with your trainer careers!" and then he was off.

"Alright Plato, we've both got pokemon now. There's only one thing to do, so let's Battle!", then with a very retarded looking dance from Chill, they were off. Plato lost the battle, but it was very close. Even Chill admitted to that. They both headed home. It was getting late. Plato was excited, very excited, but he must sleep...

END
