Going to start Pearl again tomorrow with turtwig. He is my fav starter and has a good type duo. Cheated with Ar on my previous game so half the reson why starting again.

I just started Pokemon Diamond and I am in Jubilife City XD

Smarties-chan May 23rd, 2008 7:14 AM

Just caught this beast on my new Diamond save file today:

Dialga
Quiet Nature
IVs:

HP: 30 - 31
Attack: 29 - 30
Defense: 26 - 28
Special Attack: 28 - 29
Special Defense: 30 - 31
Speed: 20 - 22

It's going to make a perfect mixed attacking Dialga for my Uber team. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the stats of this thing. Those 7+ hours of soft reseting were definitely worth it.

Circuit May 26th, 2008 7:43 AM

I'm in Solaceon and am on a catching spree! I'm trying to get all the Unowns before my mum. Also need to get HM04 Strength from pokemon tower.

The Hero Without a Name May 26th, 2008 2:21 PM

Arghhhh! My Umbreon's against a Steelix in a 2v2 battle at the Battle Tower... I was with Marley (freaking antisocial *****), she's out of Pokemon, and my Umbreon doesn't have any real offensive moves!

Last time I'm ever picking her for a partner...

Circuit May 27th, 2008 1:24 AM

I'm heading to Veilstone now after giving up with that 'game' me and my mum were playing. Got beaten by the duo closest to veilstone so have had to train. Also, could someone tell me how to find your pokemons IVs?

And, finding all Poketch apps :)

Ryuzaki_Lawliet May 27th, 2008 2:52 PM

Got creamed for Gardenia then played with the Underground Kit for a while (stupid addicting digging obsessionXD)

But now I'm re-training my team to battle her (third time!!)

Voltagenic May 27th, 2008 3:25 PM

My stubborn Togepi finally evolved! I had a spare Shiny Stone, so now I have a Togekiss! I'm a bit ecstatic. He's PWNAGE.

And I found a Cleffa at Mt. Coronet ( I assume those are rare there) and caught it. Unfortunately, I accidentally pressed down on the DS card, so I lost him.

Also trained up a Squirtle (Exp. Share ftw) and now I have a Blastoise after training in places like the Resort Area (fave training spot for me).

Finally, I headed south from Snowpoint and found a whole lot of battles and items I missed. But I lost all that EXP when I lost my Cleffa.

Houndoom666 May 27th, 2008 9:26 PM

Uhm...I am working on getting all the pokeapps rite now. And a little bit of underground. XD yes hannah909brown, it is most DEFINATLY A DIGGING OBSESSION! XD

I was doing a little bit of Unown hunting in Pearl and gues what I found?

A SHINY UNOWN!!!

airconditioning May 28th, 2008 2:44 PM

I just caught a shiny Palkia.

My mind just exploded.

It was the first shiny I had ever encountered in my like.

Circuit May 29th, 2008 9:02 AM

Am now in Pastoria but got whipped by Crasher Wake. Just trying to level up now.

Sydian May 29th, 2008 9:33 AM

I just battled...a levitating Anorith in Battle Tower. O_O

Is it supposed to be levitating in the air? The ones I have in my box aren't.

And my Blaziken fainted. But hey, I still have three more.

And congrats on the shiny Palkia, airconditioning. :D

Pokemon Pearl Journal
 
It's been awhile since I updated, and yes I'm 2 months behind...

March 27, 2008

I finally made it to Lake Valor. When I arrived, the sight was horrible. The lake was devastated. Only small puddles of water remained, with tons of Magikarp splashing around like… well, Magikarps. There were several Team Galactic members standing around a cave opening. When they saw me they attacked with their pokemon, but they were no match for mine. I made my way inside the cave. I overheard some Galactic grunts talking about stealing the three legendary pokemon at each of the three lakes. I was spotted soon after by someone who introduced themself as Team Galactic Commander Saturn. Saturn said I was too late and that they already had the legendary pokemon that lived here. Saturn attacked me with a Kadabra, a Bronzor, and a new pokemon I never saw before. The pokedex says it's a Toxicroak, the evolved form of Croagunk. My pokemon held up well in battle, especially my Hippopotas whose ground-type resisted Toxicroak's attacks. After the battle, Hippopotas started to evolve! Now that it's Hippowdon, it looks like quite a tank.

111. Hippowdon



Saturn said even though I won the battle, Team Galactic had succeeded in their plans. Apparently there is another squadron attacking Lake Verity at this very moment, targeting another legendary pokemon!


March 30, 2008

I arrived at Lake Verity to find Team Galactic still there. Professor Rowan saw me, and yelled for me to help Dawn. Team Galactic Commander Mars was leading this charge, but thanks to Dawn and me, we managed to beat all their pokemon. My Marill evolved into Azumarill too!

112. Azumarill



Mars seemed upset at losing at first, but then she smiled saying that Team Galactic already has all three legendary pokemon of the lakes! Apparently, after the explosion at Lake Valor, Mesprit appeared here at Lake Verity, seeming concerned for its friend. It was then, Mars said, that Team Galactic moved in and nabbed it. Now, Mars says they have Mesprit, the being of emotion, Azelf, the being of willpower, and Uxie, the being of intelligence. I wonder what their plan is. Mars retreated with the rest of the Galactic grunts. Professor Rowan was glad that Dawn and I were ok, but is worried about Ralph at Lake Acuity, since it seems Team Galactic struck there as well.

Ryuzaki_Lawliet May 29th, 2008 4:02 PM

found a shiny weezing, it used explosion. (vented resulting frustration on a passing skarmory)

mated hitmonchan with lopunny to get the punches. got seven eggs, all of them female buneary.

-_- oh well *hatches next egg*

Smarties-chan May 30th, 2008 3:53 AM

I've been reseting for a good IVd Azelf with a Naive Synchronizer for the last couple of days. Didn't get one with good IVs, but ended up with a shiny Naive Azelf. It only has 10 - 11 Special Attack and unfortunately, its Speed puts it in a speed tie with Gengar. If only it had one more Speed. <.< Ah well, a shiny Naive Azelf isn't something many people can brag with - I'm sure it'll make some valuable trade fodder.

Ryuzaki_Lawliet May 30th, 2008 1:03 PM

Third attempt at Gardenia, lost again! Even with level 15 chatot by my side!

It's better than my Shiny Sassy Palkia that has less than 4 Atk, SAtk, and Spe, and whose highest IV is an 18 (in SDef).

Ryuzaki_Lawliet May 30th, 2008 3:26 PM

..Wow. Anyway, Chat level 26 which will (hopefully) bring to victory! The reason he leveled so fast is because I got 'em in a trade ^^"

Pokemon Pearl Journal: Riley and Iron Island

Oh Man... sorry to hear about the exploding shiny. That is my worst fear, along with roaring shinies.

On with the saga...

April 4, 2008

I went out to Iron Island for some training. I met a guy named Riley in the caverns. He and his Lucario were training in the old mines. Figures, another steel-type trainer. We decided to travel together through the rest of the cave. His Lucario was able to heal my pokemon in between battles. We encountered lots of wild pokemon to battle against, including wild Steelix. Wild Steelix? There's something I never thought I'd see. Hopefully I can eventually get my Onix to evolve into one.

Hm, seems like Team Galactic is also in the mines looking for something. I think Riley and I should have no trouble taking care of this problem!

April 5, 2008

After defeating the Galactic Grunts in the mines, Riley and I said our good-byes. I commented on how cool his Lucario was and asked him where to catch one. He said he had something that might help with that; he gave me a pokemon egg! So I went back to Canalave City with it, and swapped out my pokemon. I took Infernape, Roselia, Mothim, and Empoleon and left the Pokemon Center. Later that evening, the egg hatched! The Pokedex says it's a Riolu, the emanation pokemon. It looks like it must be a pre-evolution of Lucario.

113. Riolu



April 22, 2008

New team: Beautifly, Heracross, Ponyta, Floatzel, Riolu

Ryuzaki_Lawliet May 31st, 2008 3:33 PM

Haven't done anything, except for one thing: My Buneary evolved to Lopunny!
^^

Crystal Shaymin May 31st, 2008 3:46 PM

went to the darkrai event, decided to SR for a good natured darkrai with 20+ iv's in speed and sp. atk.

eh, nothing so far.

Wulf May 31st, 2008 3:52 PM

I got 3 legendies today: Darkria, Regigagagagis, and Cresselia.

Ryuzaki_Lawliet May 31st, 2008 6:34 PM

Dang! Missed the Darkrai event.. well, they have another one next month so I guess I'll get it then.
Going to play now to get some good updates.

Jake♫ May 31st, 2008 6:48 PM

The Darkrai event is also tomorrow :P I might ask my parents to bring me there

On other notes, got a Jirachi, and cloned a bunch of shiny Eevees

PiSToLZ May 31st, 2008 6:48 PM

found a wild shiny pikachu and it killed me because i was training my really low level pokemon.

Houndoom666 May 31st, 2008 8:27 PM

Well, I trained my Snorlax....a lot....^ ^

Ryuzaki_Lawliet June 1st, 2008 3:35 AM

Finally beat the second gym! Can't wait to arrive in Hearthome and do my thing with contests, then get 3 and 4 badges. Do that later. Also, caught a Hoothoot!

*-Donkey In Mr-* June 1st, 2008 3:42 AM

Starting a new game and picking......Chimchar and getting it to floroma town and getting a budew and keeping it and leveling it up so i can try and beat every body with it!

Finally a Heracross appeared!! xD Now for those Heart Scales. I'm hoping to find three, one for Heracross (Night Slash, then breed w/ Skorupi) , one for Crobat (Cross Poison) and one for Drapion (Ice Fang). Oh well, currently at Eternia, planning to dig then only proceed to Hearthome. ^^; Back to digging, then.

Current team:
Prinplup L31 (It's Calm, xD )
Starly L29 (Just for breeding w/ Zubat)
Bronzor L25 (Still in training.)

DCFC_Woody June 1st, 2008 9:01 AM

ThatcherTiedUpFan June 2nd, 2008 3:45 AM

This is my first post at this thread. My Pokemon Diamond game is the main one! I'm very far in it

Postman June 2nd, 2008 5:51 AM

I gained over 20 EVed pokemon today! xD

ThatcherTiedUpFan June 2nd, 2008 6:51 AM

My current Diamond team is Darkrai, Diagla, Lucario, Ambipom, Cresselia and Staraptor. I got my Darkrai on Saturday at Toysrus

Chonlel48 June 2nd, 2008 11:35 AM

i've been training two pokemon at the ace trainers in route 229... one's been imported and the other has a lucky egg, so every time i own them both, i get 11750 xp (needed to write that info down somewhere, cuz my brain's gunna be wiped clean Thursday).

They're both going for lvl 100, one started at 90, other at 60ish. I'm working on the lvl 90 one, first... and if i remembered to save after getting it up 4 lvls... It'd be lvl 97 by now >.<

The lvl 60 one is the Infernape in my sig's trainer card... after watching a couple Marriland videos, I thought "should I pick up my DS?" and I did... So Yeah. I'll post again after I get the poke to lvl 100.

Raiph June 2nd, 2008 5:02 PM

Evolved my eevee into glaceon


Got My Lucario to lvl 70


Went To The Darkrai event


Finally found mesprit


Found a shiny Growlithe And a Shiny Shinx After 4 hrs of chains


Imported Manaphy Egg From Pokemon Ranger(Forgot about that xD)


Shiny Shinx is now a shiny luxio!


Did a few more leveling and that's about it for my weekend

Chonlel48 June 4th, 2008 4:33 PM

Got the swellow to lvl 100, think the Infernape is at lvl 85 from being lvl 64 when I last posted... School let out, so I'm probably gonna develop Carpel Tunnel and have a battle-ready team by July 4th... assuming IV breeding a Beldum goes well in Emerald... to migrate with an IV-bred skarmory... and 4 filler pokemon.

Mewtwo42 June 4th, 2008 5:19 PM

I haven't been playing much, but I got a Darkrai that knows Spacial Rend and Roar of Time at the Nintendo store!!! The only problem is, is that it doesn't have much PP to use. I guess I'll just use it as a support pokemon in double battles and stuff.

Ryuzaki_Lawliet June 5th, 2008 2:43 PM

Yeah, you do that.

My friend traded me! I gave him a Shinx and whoop~ He gave me a Bulbasaur with the following moves:
Leaf storm
Frenzy Plant
Quick Attack
Petal Dance
~

GAHH!! Too many grass attacks but hey, I'm battling a Gyrados right now, so we'll see how that turns out!

smile! June 6th, 2008 9:35 PM

Yay! Finally!!!! An Adamant Zubat decided to pop itself out of an egg I was hatching!!! xD
Oh I'm extremely happy now. I'm now going to Pastoria, trying to get a Skorupi. After that, digging time!
Until I find a Heart Scale. Then... breeding time... again... ^^; Oh well, never mind that. Hoping to find
an Adamant/Jolly Skorupi ^^ But then, I haven't really advanced much in the game. I just got 2 badges (yes, two!)
and still haven't got to Veilstone (going off course to Pastoria first :p ). Current team lineup:

Empoleon (L36)
Bronzor (L30)
Zubat (L8) <- After a series of trainers by Empoleon [equipped Exp. Share]
Soon going to have a Skorupi... Yay~

Raiph June 7th, 2008 4:33 PM

Today:


Migrated my typhlosion,espeon,umbreon,deoxys and jirachi


Battled the E4 again


Hatched an Eeve made from my Glaceon and ditto


Battled a few trainers



Lucario grew 2 lvl 78


Palkia is now lvl 89


Did some useless stuff(talking 2 random ppl)


Completed a pokemon contest( hyper rank)

lonegRowlithe June 7th, 2008 5:07 PM

For the last couple of days I have been training for the eliet four on route 222 and I got lucky and happened to get pokerus! So I infected many of my pokemon and stored them away in the pc!

Chonlel48 June 7th, 2008 5:27 PM

got the Infernape to lvl 100 earlyer. Got fustraited that my IV bred pokemon need egg moves for a decent moveset, so I'm venting my rage by breeding Bagons, which the IVs haven't taken effect yet.

Got Hyrdo pump as an egg move, now IV Breeding... I'm aiming for a 31 in HP, SpA, and Speed. I don't care about the rest...

God, I wish I cloned the two pokes I IV bred in emerald! I'm just have to import them again and not be regretting it. (Bangs head against wall)

smile! June 7th, 2008 8:55 PM

Got bored of digging, so plan to train up Zubat first. Gone back from Pastoria to Eternia and trained Zubat at the Old Chateau, the Gastlies there die from a single bite http://www.serebiiforums.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
Now at Hearthome, still training Zubat. And still can't find a Heart Scale --;

Current team:
Empoleon L36
Bronzonr L30
Zubat L18 (Gone up 8 levels ^^ )

Where art thou, Heart Scaleth?

jammi567 June 8th, 2008 12:52 AM

Managed to beat Veilstone Gym yesterday, after having to train my Monferno and Staravior from level 25 to level 30. The Exp. Share helped a lot with that.

Chonlel48 June 8th, 2008 9:23 AM

Well, I got a 31 IV in SpA and a 26 in speed, which is acceptable. Now to start on the 28-31 IV in HP for my future salamance

Then to the egg move breeding for Skarmory and RE-IV breeding. (mutters words under breath)

Daisuke33 June 8th, 2008 9:27 AM

Starting Pokemon Diamond over again last week. This is my 7th time through the game. I picked Chimchar again ^_^, and wanted to get Elekid and Gligar but then I found out that I can't catch til I get the National Dex :(. My current Team is:

Chimchar: level 30
Cranidos: level 28
Quagsire: level 22
Roselia: level 22

Saving to catch Luxio around the Fuego Ironworks and I'm also planning to catch a Noctowl when I get to the Pastoria Great Marsh, or if not maybe Rt. 210 North. Just about to leave Solcean Town and continue on to Veilstone City, I need to get Quagsire and Roselia up to my Cranidos level before I go to far.

Oh and if your wondering how I got a Cranidos I used the Explorer Kit and went digging up underground in Eterna City, where I shortly after found a Skull Fossil. I took it to the Orebrough Museum and got my Cranidos at level 20, a really good tank pokemon especially when it evolves into Rampardos ^^.

Chonlel48 June 8th, 2008 5:02 PM

Got my Bagon, got tired of IV breeding, and settled for it. 31 IV in SpA and Speed is good. Now to EV train it and get it to lvl 100.

Smarties-chan June 9th, 2008 2:06 AM

Bred myself a triple flawless Bagon (if only that Defense stat wasn't so low =\ ) which will make both a decent DDer and CBer. The luck gods like me as well - it wasn't long ago that I ran into a shiny Azelf and now I've hatched myself a shiny Bagon as well. It's a shame it's Naive and although its stats are all around quite decent, its Attack just happened to be 0. Not cool. D= Why couldn't that Everstone at least pass on the Adamant nature?

Red Rain June 9th, 2008 2:42 AM

Well to heal my wounds after killing 2 Shiny Onix on Leaf Green X|, I decided to breed some Bagon to get the perfect Adamant Bagon i needed, which I got. Then I was watering berries and should have a lot more Ganlon, Salac, Leichi, Enigma and what other rare one I planted. :D

Chonlel48 June 9th, 2008 6:35 PM

Egg move breeding, soon re IV breeding skarmories. Found out that the two egg moves I needed were available from Staraptor, or mine is called "Mutant," which saves me time and my breath. I'll EV Train the Bagon later.

ktybearface June 10th, 2008 12:54 AM

well in my first game i was trying to get to acuity lake? i think :/ to help my friend.
BUT, i lost that card, D; soo.
my new one, i have been playing for 2 days, ahah on my way to eterna city ;P

sjaakeyy June 10th, 2008 3:02 AM

I am going to buy an action replay to make it easier.

Pokemon Pearl Journal: Darkrai!!
 
May 31, 2008

It seems that the nightmares are being caused by a rare legendary pokemon called Darkrai. I had the opportunity to see one while I was in Canalave City!

So, out of character, I have to talk about my new Darkrai I received at Toys R Us today. For those that weren't aware, the only way you can "catch" a Darkrai in your pokemon games is by going to a Nintendo event. (Or by hacking, but I'm NOT going to go there.) Similar to the Mew event 2 years ago and the Manaphy event last year, you can receive a Darkrai if you go to Toys R Us between noon and 4pm this Saturday and Sunday. So, I took both my Diamond and Pearl games and received my 2 Darkrai. It was unbelievably more efficient than the Mew promotion 2 years ago. No line to wait in; the download was wireless.

So, on my diamond cartridge, I received a Darkrai with a naughty nature. That means it will advance in Attack over other stats, and lose Special Defense. Darkrai isn't an attack based pokemon, but maybe I could give it some novelty moves. Its Attack IV is 24 and its Speed IV is a respectable 28. Unfortunately its HP IV is only 10.

On my Pearl game, I got a Darkrai with a Bold nature. Perfect! Its Attack IV is a puny 6, but its Defense will grow quicker. Considering Darkrai is weak to fighting-type moves, and most fighting moves are physical, a good defense is important I think. And its Defense IV is 30! One point away from the max possible of 31. Special Attack IV is also 30, very important for its special-based movepool. Speed IV is 20, not too bad, and hey, you can't have it all. This Darkrai will be awesome in competitive battling.

Just to note, I will not train Darkrai until AFTER I finish my Sinnoh journey. I have too much left to do!

June 1, 2008

Back in character, I took my new team of Bastiodon, Luxray, Ambipom, Bronzong, and Vespiquen and headed towards Eterna City. West of the city on Route 211 is an entrance to Mt Coronet. Route 211 continues on the other side and connects to Celestic Town. I decided my next adventure would be to explore northern Sinnoh, to find out what happened at Lake Acuity. To get there, I would have to travel through the caves inside of Mt Coronet.

the beginning of my epic adventure!
 
so um yeah i'm gonna post my traelling stories in Pokemon Pearl! :)

13th June 2008:

I started my adventure by choosing a male Pokemon Trainer named Andy. I started by looking at the T.V. screen in my room and then went downstairs to find that my best friend,Nether had came. I ran to his house and got hit by him. He had to run in to get some things so i chased after him. I found him and he told me to m meet at the lake. Ran to the lake to see Dawn and Prof.Rowan talking about the Sinnoh Region. They ran off but left behind a briefcase. Nether told me to help him in so i did and we were attacked by two Starly. beat one with my chimchar and went to Prof.Rowan's lab but he let me keep the Chimchar. i bouight a few pokeballs and caught a Starly. I began to train my Chimchar and Starly. I ran to Jublife City with my chimchar and Starly,both now lvl 8. I ran to the trainers school and beat two abra's so i got Chimchar to level 9 and Starly to level 9. I got A Poketch and ran out of twon where i saw my rival. I beat his Starly with my Chimchar and his Piplup with my Starly. I tried to catch an Abra but failed. I ran through to Oreburgh City. Went to the coal miine after some guy called me a noob - im gonna kill him xD - I found the town's gym leader and he ran to the gym so i found an escape rope nearby and caught a Geodude for my Pokedex. I got out and evolved my Chimchar to Monferno and Starly to Staravia. I beat the gym leader on my second try with my newly evolved Monferno. I recieved the Coal badge. I ran to Jublife City again and found Prof.Rowan and Dawn and entered my first battle against Team Galactic. I ran through the Ravaged path and came out at the other side. I deposited Geodude and a Bidoof i caught into the PC and continued on to the Valley Windworks and beat a Team galactic Grunt.

Current Team:
Staravia level 17
Monferno level 18



Jun 14th 2008:
I started from the valley and ran to Floroma Meadow and beat two Team Galactic grunts. I ran back to the windworks and took out two more Galactic grunts. i then beat Team Galactic Commander Mars. I ran outside again and continued on and caught a level 8 Buizel. I started training and ran into Eterna forest where i met Cheryl. I decided to go through the forest with Cheryl. I walked and found a Silcoon and Buneary. I beat the Silcoon and caught the Buneary.

Current Team: Naughty Buizel level 12
Lonely Monferno level 18

It's a shame it's Naive and although its stats are all around quite decent, its Attack just happened to be 0. Not cool. D= Why couldn't that Everstone at least pass on the Adamant nature?

Smarties, could you trade me a Bagon? Anyway, currently at Solaceon trying to train up my pokemon to lvl 35. Then of to Celestic to move on in the game.

Yeah, not exactly hard with the use of Action Replay though, is it? ¬_¬

Denzer June 14th, 2008 6:34 PM

I'm currently breeding for a Impish Gligar and Jolly one. Then EV train both and start breeding for Adamant Shroomish

ShadowTails June 14th, 2008 9:23 PM

I just wasted 13 hours and over 120 Super Repels... and I have an EV trained Yanmega to show for it when I should have a shiny Mareep because 12 of those hours were spent reseting my Pokeradar, not all at once but still I just wasted valuable time looking for a non existent shiny... it's times like this when you just want to dismantle the entire game and burn it to the ground...

Wobbuffet
Mareep

I feel the need to go on a killing spree now... >=|

Horyo June 15th, 2008 4:46 PM

I'm currently working on a "gym" lol, because I've always wanted to be a Gym Leader/Breeder.

I'm still EV training though, so the "gym" might not be open for a while.

Pokemon Pearl Journal: Shiny Barboach!
 
June 11, 2008 10:30pm

So there I am, fishing inside Mt Coronet, looking for a Feebas. I'm getting frustrated, as I've spent hours and hours with no luck. I'm just half heartedly tossing my line in the water, when suddenly I saw a flash. Wait, a flash? There, floating before me, was a Barboach. But not just any Barboach. A shiny Barboach. A "1-in-8,192 chance" shiny freakin' Barboach.

Five years!

It has been over 5 years since I saw a shiny pokemon. (March 23, 2003, Route 223 in Hoenn, where I caught my shiny Wailmer.) Literally, my hands were shaking with excitement. I can't let it get away! "Bronzong, use Block!" I yelled, as my pokemon used a move to keep its enemy from running away. "Ok, pokeball, go!" I tossed the pokeball, and it rocked...

Once...

Twice...

Three times.....

Pop! Out came the Barboach. I don't have any pokemon that can put it to sleep, so I tried the pokeball again...

Once... please...

Twice... c'mon...

Three times... click!

I CAUGHT A SHINY BARBOACH!!!


June 12, 2008

Now with a shiny new Barboach on my team, I went back into Mt Coronet to keep searching for a Feebas. I started pretty early in the morning. Good grief, this is almost as tedious as the Safari Zone. Maybe even more so. Around late afternoon, I finally found a spot where there were a ton of them! I fished up and caught a whole bunch. After I felt I had a decent sampling (I think about 15 or so) I went back to the Pokemon Center to examine them. It takes a special kind of Feebas to eventually evolve into a Milotic. I narrowed it down to three, and then ultimately chose the one I caught in a premier pokeball.

119. Barboach

So I briefly finished up training Bronzong and Vespiquen, and then stored all my pokemon, keeping only Barboach and Feebas. I decided to detour back to Hearthome City for the moment. First, I need to bake poffins to feed to my Feebas to increase its beauty. Only a Feebas with high beauty will evolve into Milotic. Second, I want to enter Barboach in some pokemon contests! We participated in a Cute contest this evening, and Barboach demolished the competition! So it won its first ribbon. I might stick around Hearthome to train Barboach and enter a few more contests.

So where do my pokemon go when they're "in storage?" Some boring computerized area? Not anymore, as of this past Monday, My Pokemon Ranch opened. Hayley, the ranch caretaker, brought some pokemon to get things rolling. I transferred my pokemon over on Tuesday. All week, Hayley has been expanding the ranch a little more each day, bringing more pokemon to the ranch too. As more room is created, I'll keep adding my pokemon as well. They seem to enjoy the wide open space to run around and play in.

June 15, 2008

I’ve been working way too much lately. In between, I’ve been [EV] training my Barboach, and entering it in contests in Hearthome City. It now has 5 ribbons, one for each category of Normal Rank contests. Also, while I’m in Hearthome, I visited the place where you can make Poffins. I have a ton of fresh pamtre berries, so I baked as many dry poffins as I could. Dry poffins help increase a pokemon’s beauty. I took the best puffins and fed them to my Feebas, which happily ate them. I treated it at the end to a little Rare Candy for desert. After that, it started to evolve into a beautiful Milotic!

120. Milotic

Chonlel48 June 16th, 2008 1:50 PM

Ev Trained, and got a Metagross to level 100 occupied my time recently.

I think I can stand to Restart IV Breeding Skarmories. (Flies to Solaceon Town)

paperfunk June 16th, 2008 3:57 PM

I'm currently working on a win streak at the Battle Tower; I'm in need of four more power items for EV Training.

Kishu Inu June 19th, 2008 3:07 PM

June 19th, 2007

I'm still ectastic about catching my shiny Nidoran. I've been EV training him for awhile, but I only got about 43 done in HP and 6 in Attack. I'm very lazy...

I tried chaining for Roselia again earlier today, but the chain broke at 15. I decided to just go idly mine for stuff to sell/fossils underground. Didn't find much.
I'm hoping for an aerodactyl fossil underground, so I can Shiny Hunt for Aerodactyl.

I still need to catch Giratina, but I'm still on my lazy streak.

MudkipKid7786 June 19th, 2008 3:23 PM

Man, I just saw a shiny Munchlax, and IT RAN, DANG IT! THAT STUNK.

Horyo June 20th, 2008 2:20 AM

Ryuzaki_Lawliet June 20th, 2008 3:30 PM

Started Over
 
Well, I'm going to be playing for a loong time, so you better be a good reader!
POST STARTED 6:15PM

Well, before I start typing my Sinnoh Story, part 1, I deleted my old data. (Of course.)

Rowan asks me if I need adventure advice, but of course I say no.

He commands me to press a button on a pokeball. (Lazy ;( Do it yourself)

I am a girl, and I said I would choose the guy, but he's a big bowl of ugly. When the girl is so darned cute. So I went with girl.

He asks me what my name is. (What, you wanna break into my house?) I tell him my name is Hikari.

He shows me a picture of my ever-so-hot 'friend', a guy named Freddy that I don't even know. (Wait, then how did I know his name?)

When I entered the pokemon world, a report about some red Gyrados came up. I don't remember turning on the TV...

When I walk downstairs, a strange woman who claims to be my mom stops me.

She tells me Freddy was looking for me. Well duh, I'm amazing.

I almost walk out the door when mom says I can't go in tall grass because of pokemon.

I try to walk into Freddy's house but Freddy comes crashing into me! (Clutzo!)

He says he'll fine me $1,000,000 if I don't come to a lake when he rushes back into his house saying he forgot something.

I walk in the house, upstairs, and into Freddy's room. Freddy was sitting at his desk, packing up items.

Now, he says if I don't come to the lake he'll fine me $10,000,000! Geez this guy is desperate for money!

I walk downstairs, and out the door.

Freddy reminds me of the lame 'Red Gyrados' report that was on TV. Now, he pursuades me to come along!

We walk down to the lake and OMFG! He's holding my hand.

He then cheers, when we walk in on an old man and a boy named Lucas about the same age as me and Freddy.

They bumped into Freddy and begged to pass. Pfft, they're not getting any of MY good looks. They can take Freddy's. We let them pass, since we need to get over to the lake.

Freddy drags me into grass, even when he knows my mom told me I'll get in trouble if I go.

We find a dirty breifcase when two Starlies came charging! We didn't have pokemon. Hesitating, we look into the briefcase and...

three pokemon! Turtwig, Piplup, Chimchar. I chose Chimchar.

We charge into battle.

The Starly was level 2 and I send out level 5 Chimchar. We fight with Scratch. It got Starly's health halfway down and the starly uses Growl, lowering Chimchar's attack. We use another scratch. Starlys hp now in the yellow zone when Starly uses growl again! Our attack in danger, we attempt another Scratch. Yes! Starly: Defeated.

Freddy compliments Chimchar and I for doing a great job. But then, he says his Piplup was tougher. Oh, come 'ere and say that!

Lucas comes back. Uh-oh! He freaks out when he realizes we used the professor's pokemon. Who's? But he didn't take them back. He took the one that wasn't used, Turtwig, though.

We hurry and leave the lake as well, before more pokemon appear. We wouldn't want to battle more, putting Chimchar's lowered attack in mind.

Freddy then says how we have to give the pokemon back but he wants to spend more time with them. Yeah, they're awesome powerhouses!

Ahh! We ran into Prof. Rowan and Lucas! Will he get angry-?

He asks to see our pokemon. (Please, don't take them back!)

He doesn't take them back. Instead, he walks back to his lab. (Where IS his lab? It's not in Twinleaf town, thats for sure.)

He tells us to visit their lab. But how can we visit when we don't even know where it is?

We go back home. Mom tells me to wait for something.

She was concerned at first but then she was relieved to find out that we were OK. She was proud of our battle.

Oh! She says that the professor lives up in Sandgem Town.

She says he's intimidating. (mom's got a boyfriend!) Then she says I should go visit him so she gives me some running shoes.

She reads the instructions (boring!) and I leave.

I run out into route 201.

While on my way, a level 2 Bidoof attacks me! Of course, I send out level 5 Chimchar.

I use Scratch getting bidoofs health a little above halfway. He uses tackle and I take 4 damage. We use scratch again, hey look! Critcal hit getting Bidoof in the red zone. Bidoof uses tackle again, me taking 2 damage. (apparantly that 4 was critical hit.) Now I have 12/19 as far as health goes. Finally, we killed the rat with one final Scratch.

Darn! a level 3 Starly pops up now! Go, Chimchar! Again, another boring Scratch starts the battle off. Starley- a lil' above halfway. Me- yellow zone! Better finish this one off and QUICK! chimchar- 9/19 So we use another scratch. Starly down into yellow zone. It uses Growl, lowering our attack! This battle is not going well. Chimchar- 9/19 Starly- yellow zone 1 more scratch killed the Starly!

Chimchar grew to level 6!

No new moves were learned, though.

I walked into Sandgem town where Lucas greeted me.

Freddy bumped into me again! This guy becomes more and more of a clutzo.

Freddy says that Rowan isn't as scary as we thought he was yesterday. Well, here we go. *gulp* I walk inside with Lucas. (He's holding my hand too. What boy WOULDN'T want my fabulousness?)

The professor speaks. He says I can keep Chimchar! I nicknamed Chimchar CHIMCHI.

He asks me if I like the nickname, and I say yes, why wouldn't I? I made up the adorable powerhouse's nickname, right?

He then says how Freddy told him why we had to use his pokemon. He didn't get angry. He was as proud as Mom!

Lucas was then releived that I was nice to pokemon. DUH! THEY'RE CUTE LITTLE POWERHOUSES!!

Prof. Rowan THEN said that there was a main topic he wanted to speak about. He wants to know what kinds of pokemon live in Sinnoh. He gives me a pokedex to record data on every pokemon in Sinnoh!

Lucas said that he would teach me stuff about the assignment I had been given later. I hope later is very soon because I don't understand! (Ha. White lie. I understand everything, just trying to make some dramatic-ness here.)

As soon as I walked out of the lab Lucas said he would teach me stuff! (wow that was fast xD)

He showed me a pokemon center. He explained how they heal injured and fainted pokemon fast.

He then showed me a smaller building called a pokemon mart. He said you can buy tons of items there for reasonable prices. Then, he said since im a rookie I can't buy much. Booring..

He gave me a quick assignment as well. Heal my pokemon, then go back to Twinleaf and tell my mom I'm helping the professor.

I walked on route 201 but forgot to heal my pokemon so I went back to the poke'center.

In seconds, I got Chimchi back fully healed.

I went back on route 201.

Oh look! A level 2 Starley attacked. My level 6 Chimchi would be perfect for this situation. Go, Scratch attack! We got Starleys health into the yellow zone when Starley used tackle and it only caused 1 damage. I used another scratch and- killed it!

level 3 starly came up this time. Level 6 Chimchi, dear, it's go time! We started it off with a Scratch. Half-way mark. Growl got our attack down though. We weren't messing around. Another scratch! red zone. A starley tackle did 3 damage.

Chimchar- 17/21 green zone
Starly- red zone

One more scratch killing it!
Soo close to level 7, but not quite.

Bidoof level 3 appeared.. go level 6 (almost 7) Chimchi used Scratch. bidoof halfway point. Bidoof used Tackle.

Chimchar- 14/21 green zone
Bidoof- halfway mark green zone

Another scratch, now! critical hit now fainted

Chimchar grew to level 7! Chimchar learned Ember!

I finally arrived back in Twinleaf town.

I talk to mom and she heals my pokemon. She cheers me on when she finds out I'm going on a journey!

I obtain a JOURNAL!

Mom says it keeps a lists of my daily events so I'll know what I did last.

Freddy's mom enters asking where Freddy is. We say we don't know, 'cuz we don't.

HIKARI OBTAINED THE PARCEL!

Nurse joy healed Chimchi in a flash!

I exited from the pokemon center but went back because I wanted to talk to the three people that were inside the center besides the clerks and nurse joy.

One girl said: The top floor of any pokemon center is the pokemon Communication Club. There, you can have all sorts of fun with your friends.

Another girl said: Talk to that nice lady at the counter and hand her your pokemon. She'll heal your pokemon in no time at all!

The last guy in the pokecenter- an old man said: Do you see that PC over there? That fancy blue one? If you've got pokemon with you, it's free to use.

I exited and walked onto route 202.

SwampertTrainer June 20th, 2008 9:07 PM

Just curious, on a scale of 1-10, how much do you expect people to actually read this?

*cough, cough* ...I ask as I start to read it. Can someone delete that?

Ryuzaki_Lawliet June 21st, 2008 5:25 AM

Hey! If I want to post my things as a story I can, I don't care if people read it or not. I just want to have something like that.

ONTOPIC: My team is
Kricketot (Leecher) level 3,
Bidoof (New Ratata) level 5,
Shinx (Zapzy) level 7,
Chimchar (Chimchi) level 11

Chonlel48 June 21st, 2008 8:25 AM

Well, I'm EV training a Vaporeon. Just got back from Gamestop and Pre-Ordered Guitar Hero: On Tour... cuz I had the cash, and didn't know it comes out tomorrow :/.

The on-topic part of this is I got my deoxys from there (saves game in front of delivery dude) and I'm gunna be soft resetting for good IVs, with at least a perfect IV in speed, as I plan to use its speed forme. The first one has cruddy ones, so *starts a barrage of soft resetting*

Ryuzaki_Lawliet June 21st, 2008 9:22 AM

I want some good shinies, so how do you soft reset?

By the way I'm training outside of Jubilife City because I'm not ready to head over to Oreburgh and with the Step Counter (provided by yours truly Poketch), I'll fill up the step counter until every didgit on there is 9 before I stop training.

I have AWFUL luck!

So I'm looking for a Combee Female to train into Vespiqueen right?

Now, other than the commonly ridiculous trade, I find this girl who wants a Grovyle, a male one (<This bit is significant).

Overjoyed I was like YAY! I have a sceptile to breed. So after a bit of moving pokemon around I get the egg and hatch it, ta-da! A female treecko.

"Whoa! My first female starter-ish pokemon!"

I then train it until it's 16 to evolve it to Grovyle.

I come back and can't trade because it needs to be MALE.

I grumble about it then take a walk outside.

Returning to my game hours later, I decide to make a male treecko and luckily ended up with one. Going through the same training I go to the GTS to trade.

The girl was gone.

WTF?!

I'm trying to find a Sun Stone to evolve my Gloom (I already evolved the other one with a Leaf Stone). I also discovered the Feugo Ironworks or whatever it's called.

Pokemon Pearl Journal: Visitor from Space and Contests!
 
June 16, 2008

I added Quagsire, Croagunk, and Golbat to my team, and headed back into Mt Coronet. Barboach tried out some higher rank pokemon contests, but lost.


June 19, 2008

I finally make it out of Mt Coronet and onto Route 216 where it is lightly snowing. I don't think I dressed appropriately for this. My Milotic and Barboach still need a lot of training, but mostly I used Quagsire, Croagunk, and Golbat to battle the trainers I met along this route. I came across an interesting new pokemon, though. It looks like a little frosty tree or something. I had Quagsire put it to sleep with its Yawn attack, and then was able to catch it. It's called a Snover, and it's a dual ice-grass-type, which is an odd combination.

121. Snover



Later that day, I also found wild Sneasel in the area, and was able to catch one!

122. Sneasel



I already have 6 pokemon with me (counting my RckSmshr) so I had Snover and Sneasel transferred to the Ranch. So I proceeded further north, turning along Route 217. The weather has gone from a light snow to a heavy blizzard. You can barely see the Route! I doubled back to rest in a little cabin I saw on Route 216.

June 21, 2008

The snow is coming down pretty heavy here in northern Sinnoh, yet trainers are still up here training and battling. I had a lot of battles with them to train my team. Croagunk worked hard and evolved into a Toxicroak! Also, during a battle against a rival Golbat, my Golbat evolvved into a Crobat! I think Crobat is one of my more favorite pokemon, and its double wings also make it one of the fastest.

123. Toxicroak



124. Crobat



I decided to climb down through Mt Coronet to come back to some warmer areas and rest up in Celestic Town. As I was traveling through the mountain, I ended up getting lost and exiting a cave onto a high mountain peak. I saw what appeared to be a shooting star soaring through the air, except... it was headed into the atmosphere! It was rocketing towards the east, where it eventually crash landed. From the summit, it appeared to crash near Veilstone City. So, I found my way back out of the mountain, and headed east.

When I eventually reached Veilstone, I discovered it wasn't a shooting star at all, but rather a pokemon! The Sinnoh pokedex had no info on it, but I heard about it before. It's Deoxys. A pokemon from space, and can alter its form slightly to boost its attack, defense, or speed. And I'm finally lucky enough to encounter one!!

June 22, 2008

I traveled back to Hearthome City to enter some more Pokemon Contests with Barboach. We've entered a few Great Rank contests previously, but keep losing, mostly do to the Visual round. So last night I did some studying on how to improve our score in that round. Then we entered 2 contests this morning, a Cool contest and Beauty contest. Our research must have paid off, because Barboach won both contests! The Cool contest was a landslide win, and the Beauty contest was close but Barboach and I have some effective combinations for the appeals round. That makes 7 ribbons for Barboach!

June 26, 2008

The last few days have been spent training both Milotic and Barboach. Iron Island made a perfect training ground for both of them. The rock-type pokemon there made good challenges to help build Barboach's defense. I also entered more pokemon contests with Barboach. We had a few loses, but as of now Barboach won 10 ribbons! Yep, that means it cleared all the Normal and Great Rank Sinnoh Super Contests. We really need to work on the Visual Round. Barboach's combinations do very well in the Appeals Round, Surf if it's first up or the combination of Amnesia and Mud Shot (or Magnitude) for later in the round. Water Spout made a good filler move when needed too. Now, however, Barboach learned Rest as well as Earthquake, making it a tougher battler.

That being said, I decided to compete at Poketopia in some more Colosseum challenges. I think I found quite the winning team with Barboach, Milotic, Toxicroak, Quagsire, Crobat, and Luxray. (I had Luxray transferred to my party.) This team excelled at double battles. It may seem unbalanced, but it worked well in the Crystal Colosseum and Sunny Park Colosseum. (I also beat the Sunset Colosseum, but that was a challenge using random rental pokmon.) I'm up to Rank 4 on those. I still have Magma Colosseum to try, but that's a single battle competition, so I might be better off using a different type of team. It needs work, but this team of 6 might go far with some work.

So, I'm keeping Barboach, transferring the rest to the Ranch. I took my recently captured Snover with me, as well as Mr. Mime, Wormadam (ground), and Finneon. Time to head back to the frozen north.

Shiori-Hikaru June 26th, 2008 9:34 PM

Eh, thinking about transfering my Pearl team to Diamond and restarting Pearl.
Chaining Shinies in Diamond..
Training my Eevee before I evolve it into Glaceon..

Smarties-chan June 27th, 2008 10:53 AM

I've been breeding Magikarp the last two days and dang am I annoyed. I hatch this thing today:

Magikarp
Adamant
2 / 31 / 31 / x / 31 / 31
Why did that HP IV have to be so low? D= A quadruple flawless Adamant Karp ruined by a bad HP stat - that just isn't fair. =\ Oh well, it makes a darn good parent. I'm putting it up for trade for anyone interested in breeding a Magikarp of their own or for anyone crazy enough to use a Gyarados with a measly 2 in HP.

AdvanceMapper June 27th, 2008 3:08 PM

I've searching forever and after soft resetting for a shiny Girtina, I got one.


Which means I completed the national.

Hadim Sinan Pasha June 29th, 2008 12:15 AM

Started EV training my Gallade next to Flaoroma Town. Run into a Mesprit. Throw out a Quick Ball which twitches twice and then Mesprit flees. Starting to EV train Gallade. Get bored and result to itmains. Only have like 40K so I beat the Poke League twice. Go to buy some Vitamins at Veilston Dep. Store. Anyways, buy 10 of the wrong one (attack which I don't reseel for the Attack). Decide to go and beat the E4 one more time. Still haven't started. Takes 20 mins as Swampert sweeps the place with a bit of help from Dialga and Palkia who 1HKO the tanks like Bronzng and Gastrodon for Swampert.

Feathertail June 29th, 2008 2:45 AM
