Cariger April 2nd, 2008 1:55 AM

Well I started a new game in Pokemon LeafGreen and even though I've been playing it since yesturday, I haven't gotten really far. I mean I'm still in the Viridian Forest.

Current Pokemon Party:
Charmander [Charlie] LV.14 [Male]
Pidgey [Birdie] LV.14 [Female]
Spearow [Tyler] LV.11 [Male]
Rattata [Jewel] LV.9 [Female]
Metapod [Misca] LV.8 [Female]
Mankey [Pitt] LV.8 [Male]

As you could probably see, I'm trying to train six of my seven pokemon that I have with me so they could evolve since I want to already start completing my pokedex rather early. I also have managed to have a decently leveled team that I'm still training so I could kick Brock's butt in Pewter.

~Seadra~ May 11th, 2008 6:37 AM

I'm replaying Pokemon Ranger and just captured Rayquaza. I love how the browser description says it's impossible to capture, yet it's obviously not. I've done all the special missions now, so I'm just doing the capture contests.

kengiman May 20th, 2008 5:02 PM

(They funny part is, the Ivysaur is nicknamed Bulbasaur, and the darn Name Rater won't let me change it!) Also, I was planning on trading my Pokemon from FireRed with the starters (which are all completely evolved now) I have in Emerald (Yes, I also have all the starters in Emerald!), but I found out that I have to do some event at One Island first! But that's no matter, as I can always breed my eventual Venasaur, Blastoise, and Charizard to get their first forms. And one more thing I want to add is that I went through all the trouble of breeding a Marill and a Ditto in hopes of getting an Azurill, but I when the egg hatched and and Marill came out, I remembered that I need to make it hold Sea Incense!

OK,look,I can't be much help right now,but I know where the incense is.Go to lost cave in 5 island(surf uuuuuuup,land on resort gorgeous,surf where that male swimmer is on the west and follow the path to lost cave.)I think it was right,up,down,down,right,left,down,right and up.Message if im wrong~

Gelidice November 4th, 2008 4:53 PM

I have been trying to get a perfect E4 team in a week, I restart every time i can't, but it's day 2 and I'm sooooo close!! oh, and i have caught 430 pokemon legitimately in my pokemon diamond, soooooo close......

Trap-Eds November 20th, 2008 2:14 PM

On Mystery Dungeon 1, I am trekking through Sky Tower as Flygon this very moment. Now, if only I hadn't lost the Friend Bow....
In Mystery Dungoen 2, errr....can't really remember but I think I quicksaved as Lucario on a mission.
And in Pokemon Pearl, last saved standing in front of the Regigigas statue. Which is odd, seeing as I don't have the three other Regis....I just like the Snowpoint Temple music. :cer_boogie:

blue November 21st, 2008 4:15 PM

Trap-Eds November 21st, 2008 7:08 PM

Well, in Pearl I went and almost beat the whole Sinnoh League. I would've won, but I ran out of Revives and Hyper Potions, darn it!!

Girafarig: Lvl 57
Cloyster: Lvl 62
Glaceon: Lvl 62
Rotom: Lvl 62

In Mystery Dungeon Time, just tried to complete a mission in Zero Isle West as Lucario-he is perfect for that dungeon!! Gains levels fast and learns strong moves. But something beat me on one of the 20ish floors. Darn.

RanzAlton December 6th, 2008 4:32 AM

Akeraz January 28th, 2009 1:19 PM

I got bored and restarted my PMD2: EoT.

I got chikorita in the personality test [Chikoritas r ftw]
and my partner is Pikachu. Though I haven't had any time to play PMD2 Recently, I hope to get some time tonight :)

Corvus of the Black Night February 2nd, 2009 1:47 PM

Whoops. Tried to Mind Read the Pidgeot in Saffaron (LG) again.

Took me 30 minutes to realize I was playing Pokemon again. Damn, I hate that!

Blue_Drifblim February 2nd, 2009 3:01 PM

I finally reached Rank 3 in Battle Tower Wi-Fi(That took forever..) only to get pushed back to Rank 2. Luck can really help or hurt. In my case, it hurt. I'm going to try again...I know I can get to back. =)

Fusktacular Frizzlee February 8th, 2009 11:23 AM

i beat the battle tower for the fifth time today :laugh:

syuunikiss February 18th, 2009 9:25 AM

I just hatched my 3,700th egg, going for 4000 next! Hopefully I'll have some a nice IV bred hippo by then.

Patatas Fritas February 20th, 2009 3:03 AM

Well, I suck so badly in Diamond, im still trying to beat the Pokemon Leage... Months after getting my 8th badge... (Stupid number 4!)

And an PMD2:EoT I'm stuck in that tower where you fight Primal Dialga... (I should've trained more...)

JesusLuvsU February 21st, 2009 3:34 AM

is waiting in'patiently for pkmn pltnm to be release X_X
meanwhile playing fanmade pokemon games and sucks at them all! :'(

yuki3056 March 2nd, 2009 2:16 PM

I just beat the Elite Four on Diamond 3 times in a row without having to use any items or the poke center to heal any poke on my team! the 4th time I lost at Cynthias chomp

Limey-chan March 2nd, 2009 4:41 PM

Decided to start up a Powerhouse Challenge in Pokémon Red. Except i've cheated a little in that I skipped Brock's Gym in order to get to the Pokémon Centre at Mt. Moon and buy a Magikarp off the weird fat bloke.

Levelled it all the way up to Lv. 20 in Viridian Forest. And it's at this point I would just like to say how strongly I dislike training Magikarps. My god, saying it was time consuming and tedious would probably be understatement of the century, they're just such useless Pokémon. Had to keep using up Splashes on Metapods/Kakunas so that I had a move that I could actually attack enemies with. Got to level 15, learned tackle and thought "Great, an offensive move! These last 5 levels will be a breeze!". Wrong. Magikarp and Charmeleon kept getting poisoned off Weedles, Tackle constantly missed (There was one time it missed FIVE TIMES in a row against a Kakuna. Seriously, five) and it ended up being just as tedious as the first 10 levels were.

I shed a tear of uncompromisable joy when this screen popped up:
http://i41.*.com/1r3ckj.png

So now I finally have my Powerhouse Pokémon, a level 20 Gyarados that knows Tackle, Bite and Water Gun (I picked up TM12 from Mount Moon). It also has Splash but I honestly do not regard it as a move in any way.

Now ready to obliterate Brock and his pithy little Onix. Still haven't worked out what i'm going to do when it comes to Surge but i'll cross that bridge when I come to it. OH, and just for the record my Charmeleon's level 20 too. It actually grew quicker than Magikarp did when I was bait-and-switching in Viridian Forest, no lie.

Glaceon_ March 2nd, 2009 5:43 PM

I just started up my FireRed for the first time in a while. The team that I currently have:

Growlithe @ Level 30
Ivysaur @ Level 31
Pidgeotto @ Level 30
Pikachu @ Level 30 and...
Vaporeon @ Level 31

It seems I hadn't decided on a 6th member of the team, at the time. Looks like I did manage to beat Erika, though.

Limey-chan March 3rd, 2009 4:35 AM

Completed the challenge with Gyarados, didn't take long and it wasn't all that hard. None of the Gym leaders or Elite Four posed much of a challenge since he was always like 20+ levels higher than their strongest Pokémon. It was rare I had to use potions or healing items, the only things I was using regularly were Elixers/Ethers.

He's now Level 86 and i'm training him up the rest of the way in Cerulean Cave.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/d/d1/Ani130MS.pngGyardos Level 86
* Ice Beam
* Surf
* Thuderbolt
* Body Slam

Stats:
HP: 315
Attack: 274
Defence: 219
Speed: 215
Special: 236

As you can see, i'm going to have to box trick once he's at Level 100 to get him to reach his max stats.

All in all, was a reasonably enjoyable challenge. Though admittedly there wasn't much challenge in it. I'd be happy to give this another go with a different Pokémon.

lolwut March 10th, 2009 7:13 PM

Finally caught my first shiny today!!! it was a zubat! i'm keeping it in the pc for now until i get the national dex when i can evolve it into a crobat! Also i started a new game and am now right infront of mt moon with a pikachu and a wartortle. The pikachu is level 19 and the wartortle is level 21. My final team is going to be pikachu, blastoise, and flareon or arcanine

knuclear200x March 10th, 2009 8:47 PM

I just completed PMRanger 2 last monday. Got every monster, completed every quest, Beat the Capture Arena and all extra/special missions completed. last thing i need to do LV up my styler to 100 but that game wasnt that good to me. but I befriended all the cool monsters and watching them run with me is awesome.

Lt. Silver March 15th, 2009 3:02 AM

working my way through Shiny Gold, Current team:

Typhlosion lvl 40
Ampharos lvl 30
Red Gyrados lvl 30
Krabby lvl 21
Sudowudo lvl 20
Spearow lvl 9 (yes I know)

Have 4 badges and am about to trade in a red scale for exp share so I can train spearow easily, then I can go and get badges from cianwood and olivine

WriteThemWrong March 24th, 2009 9:57 PM

emulating, emulating, and emulating

Limey-chan April 3rd, 2009 6:52 AM

EV training my Kingdra called Pteryx (Named after the species of Water Dragon that Kingdra is based upon. I know, i'm a nerd). Currently lv 45, and so far the training seems to be paying off. It's got very well-rounded stats, and some of them are a lot higher than some of my other Pokémon who are at an equal or higher level. Also, I checked out it's min and max base stats on Bulbapedia and they're not far off the max available so i'm pleased with that.

Even on an emulator with speed toggle switched on it's a painfully slow process haha. It'll be worth it though when my Kingdra's unbeatable :D

Oh, here's it's current moveset:

http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Bubblebeam
Will change to Surf or something later on. Currently only have it because of it's PP.

http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Dragonbreath
Happy with this move, will probably keep it.

http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Water Gun
Like Bubblebeam, it's only here because it has 25 PP (More battles = more EV pts). Will change later

http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Twister
Will definately change later on, not a fan of this move.

Projected moveset:
http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Dragonbreath - Dragon move, STAB
http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Surf - Best Water-type attack imo, powerful and more accurate than Hydro Parp
http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Reflect - To cover the fact Kingdra's defence isn't much to shout home about and also damage limitation against Dragon-type attacks
http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Hyper Beam? - Haven't really decided on a 4th move but hey, what's a Dragon Pokémon without Hyper Beam? :D

st.jimmy April 3rd, 2009 7:07 AM

i was gunna say well done for knowing that a kingdra was based on a pteryx but u asked for it so im gunna have to call u a nerd ;)
looking for shinies i am ;)

CrazyCubone April 3rd, 2009 9:51 AM

It's been 2 years since I got Pokemon Pearl and I just beat Volknor. Jesus, I'm slow at this game. I just gave up with the gyms and decided to train a load of random, useless Pokémon. xD

Ninetales1 April 7th, 2009 6:33 PM

As there's a thread like this in the Diamond/Pearl forum, I won't repeat the recent happenings there. But I did play Colosseum for the first time in quite a while yesterday. I just trained my best Pokemon team in Mt. Battle (areas 6-8), and now they're just above level 50. My team currently consists of:

Poppon (male Jumpluff), level 52
Nature: Calm
Ability: Chlorophyll
-Synthesis
-Sleep Powder
-Cotton Spore
-Mega Drain
*I usually have Poppon first in my party (although he's usually switched out or KO'd at the end), and most of what he does in battle is put foes to sleep. Sometimes he also uses Cotton Spore to make it so that my other Pokemon can attack next. His high Speed really comes in handy.

Plusle (female Plusle), level 52
Nature: Bold
Ability: Plus
-Charge
-Spark
-Fake Tears
-Encore
*She doesn't have a nickname because I received her from Duking. She's an attacker/helper. Often times she will use Fake Tears so that my other Pokemon can do more damage with a special attack that turn. She hardly ever uses Encore, but it comes in handy in rare cases.

Nuo (male Quagsire), level 51
Nature: Hardy
Ability: Damp
-Surf
-Earthquake
-Mud Shot
-Amnesia
*It helps that I have three Pokemon who are unaffected by Earthquake, and one who's resistant to it. Nuo has Mud Shot as a backup just in case he has to battle alongside Plusle, or if Skeeter's low on HP. I find that he hardly ever uses Amnesia, though...

Miyage (female Delibird), level 52
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Vital Spirit
-Present
-Attract
-Fly
-Blizzard
*I like using Blizzard here because it's powerful and hits both foes, and also because it can freeze. I know Present's kind of lame, but I can't find a good attack to replace it with...

Voldemort (male Misdreavus), level 52
Nature: Lonely
Ability: Levitate
-Psybeam
-Shadow Ball
-Pain Split
-Perish Song
*I like to send Voldemort out when my opponent is down to their last two Pokemon, so there's no chance of switching out. I especially like to pair him up with Nuo or Poppon--it depends on whether I want to do a lot of damage quickly or stall while Perish Song counts down.

Skeeter (female Heracross), level 53
Nature: Hasty
Ability: Guts
-Endure
-Reversal
-Brick Break
-Megahorn
*Skeeter just learned Megahorn yesterday; before that, she knew Counter, which was practically useless. I find the Endure/Reversal combo works well on someone with high Attack.

I'm probably going to get my team to level 55 before continuing in Realgam Tower.

Pjskat April 12th, 2009 4:43 PM

LOl Stupid Cyrus in Platinum keeps stopping me from reaching Giratina... CURSE YOU GYARADOS!!!!

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ April 15th, 2009 8:03 AM

finally i raised my togepi into a togetic (that was the only Pokemon I was missing excluding Shaymin). It took 2 days worth of playing to do it


:t354:TG

Limey-chan April 16th, 2009 9:30 AM

EV training a Growlithe on Silver atm. Even though he's proving even harder to train than Kingdra was, i'm pretty pleased with how it's going so far. He's Lv 25 and his stats are either the max for his level or 5 or less points from the max, so the training seems to be paying dividends.

A question for you guys about a moveset for my (Eventual) Arcanine; I want to learn it:
http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Extreme Speed
http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Fire Blast - I'd teach it Flamethrower but Arcanine can't learn both Flamethrower and Extreme Speed
http://i44.*.com/2zqfy3b.png Take Down

And one other move. I'm thinking of trading Growlithe back over onto Blue and teaching it the Reflect TM to compensate for its poor Defence stat but I dunno. I'm not a massive fan of Hyper Beam but it's a possibility. Another candidate is Sunny Day to boost Fire Blast (LOL like it needs boosting).

What do you guys think I should teach it as a 4th move?

I suppose this is a little late, but if you haven't done it already, you can have an Arcanine with both Flamethrower and ExtremeSpeed on Silver...just train Growlithe to lvl. 50, teach it Flamethrower, then evolve it with the Fire Stone at level 50. When it evolves, it should learn ExtremeSpeed.

As for a fourth move, I'm not the best person to ask about that as I don't really battle competitively. :D

Oh, it can learn both? That's good news man, thanks =D

I never got round to finishing training up Growlithe, so you weren't too late at all haha.

I'm not one for competative battling either, in fact I can't even remember quite why I was training up a Growlithe exactly. I think it was a combination of boredom and wanting an awesome EV trained Arcanine to smash up the game with XDD

Well, I finally got round to completing the training of my Growlithe. It's now a Level 50 Arcanine, and its stats are pretty good (Which i'd have hoped they would be, given how long it's taken to train the damned thing).

His stats at Lv 50 {The Max stats available are in brackets}:
Hp: 190 {197}
At: 161 {162}
Df: 124 {132}
Sa: 141 {152}
Sd: 121 {132}
Sp: 145 {147}

I used Bulbapedia/Marriland to work out the max stats, i'm 99% sure they're correct. I'm pretty happy with how his stats have turned out, especially his Hp, Attack and Speed.

I still need to learn him a 4th move, atm he's got:
http://i39.*.com/34gt3kw.png Extreme Speed
http://i39.*.com/34gt3kw.png Flamethrower
http://i39.*.com/34gt3kw.png Take Down
http://i39.*.com/34gt3kw.png Bite <- This is the one i'm looking to replace

I don't wanna teach him Hyper Beam as he already has 2 powerful normal type moves (Which don't require him to recharge). Sunny Day is an option, I guess, to power up Flamethrower and weaken Water Moves etc, but i'd rather teach him something else given the option. The other move i'm thinking of teaching him is Reflect, to try and make up for the fact his defence isn't too great. But again, it's not ideal imo.

Any suggestions = massively appreciated ^-^

I'm trying to pass the Elite 4 and Champion 20 times to increase my rival's level in the Survival area. Currently on 13 times.

SnowpointQuincy June 14th, 2009 4:49 AM

I cought a shiny Machop! EV training my second Scizor. Two EV trained Dragonite, Heart and Soul. (I named them awile back before the new remakes were anounce, so I must have some kind of brain power.)

Limey-chan June 25th, 2009 7:36 PM

I hacked my Silver rom to make the Gym Leaders and Elite Four more challenging by giving them more varied Pokémon at higher levels.

I don't think I realised quite how strong i'd actually made them... Falkner just owned my team with his newly-hacked Pidgeotto o_O

Looks like I have me some training to do...

Currently training to challenge Volkner(the 8th leader in D/P/Pt). My pokemon are all at lv 55 but I want to take them to 57 before advancing.

kkaitlinn94 July 11th, 2009 9:58 AM

Platinum - I'm training my team to level 45 or 50 (depends how long I feel like walking around in the grass) before I get to the 6th gym

Diamond - thinking of restarting - all my Pokemon are like level 40something (except my level 100 glaceon) and I beat the elite four. FAIL! so I'm gonna trade all them to my brothers Pearl game and restart

Silver/Gold - super old/used from game stop and won't save, sometimes when I'm bored I'll start a new game and see how far I can get before I get bored or the batteries in my GBC die

Ninetales1 September 13th, 2009 6:38 PM

@Riggzyd: That's when it's time to restart.

Anyway, I just recently started playing a whole bunch of Pokemon roms, one from each generation in fact. I thought I'd record my progress on them here:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yellow:

Trainer: Gon
Rival: Coolio
Starter: Pikachu, obviously
Current Team:
Satoshi (Pikachu, level 22)
Youmi (Butterfree, level 22)
Kindle (Charmeleon, level 22)
Kusa (Weepinbell, level 22)
Drima (Drowzee, level 22)
Gimli (Diglett, level 22)

I currently have two badges in this game, and I'm probably gonna get my team to level 25 before taking on Lt. Surge.

Well, back when I got my second badge, my team consisted of Satoshi, Youmi, Kindle, Kusa, Dyna Blade (a Pidgeotto), and Goku (a Mankey), who were about level 18. After getting that badge, I made my way towards Vermilion City, battling a few trainers along the way. Once I got to Vermilion, the first thing I did was head into the grass on Route 11. The first Pokemon I encountered there was a Drowzee, so I caught it and put it on my team in place of Dyna Blade. I trained this Drowzee (Drima) in Route 25 for a while, during which time it learned Confusion. Then I headed back to Vermilion and peeked into Diglett's Cave, catching a level 21 Diglett in there and putting it on my team in place of Goku.

Yesterday, first I trained my team to level 21 in Route 11; during that time, Kusa evolved to Weepinbell. Then I went aboard the S.S. Anne, battling some trainers in there and picking up some items. Kusa learned Stun Spore during one such battle; I replaced Sleep Powder with it since two of my other Pokemon already have a sleeping move. Unfortunately, Gimli didn't get to do a whole lot of battling since there were too many water Pokemon, but he did own a Growlithe with Dig once.

Hee hee, another interesting fact about this game is that before I got to Cerulean City, I had on my team two Nidorans named Fumu and Bun. They were at level 12 when I battled Brock, while the rest of my team was at level 10. However, they didn't participate in the battle at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crystal

Trainer: Suneora
Rival: Shin
Starter: Chikorita
Current Team:
Midori (Bayleef, level 20)
Rogue (Geodude, level 20)
Koubi (Poliwag, level 20)
Taliante (Gastly, level 18)
Collie (Growlithe, level 15)
Kinenda (Kadabra, level 19)

Rogue was actually the first Pokemon I caught in this game, and she was very easy to train. Before I got my first badge, my team consisted of Midori, Rogue, Koubi, Turamin (a Hoothoot), Radaran (a Rattata), and Shelob (a Spinarak). I started my game at night, so that's when I caught most of these Pokemon. Shelob was my official Bellsprout killer, and was the only Pokemon I used while battling the monks in the Sprout Tower. I also caught Taliante that same night, but didn't put him on my team because I knew he couldn't touch Normal Pokemon.

After getting my first badge, I received the Mystery Egg, which hatched into a female Togepi! I nicknamed her Torina. She was fun to train, because she knew Metronome. I actually recorded some of her training on video, which showed Metronome turning into attacks like Mega Drain, Recover, Sacred Fire, Hydro Pump, and Aeroblast. Also at this time, I added both Torina and Taliante to my team, replacing Turamin and Radaran. This was the team I beat Bugsy with. The only part that sucked was that when Torina battled her Metapod, Metronome never turned into any good attacks, and she ended up using up all her PP, so I had to switch her out. But Scyther was laughably easy; Rogue OHKO'd it with Rock Throw.

After that, I traveled through the Ilex Forest and reached Goldenrod City. There a whole bunch of stuff happened. When I visited the National Park, they were holding a bug-catching contest, which I decided to participate in. The Pokemon I entered was a level 14 Pinsir, but I ended up getting third place... :( Oh well, at least I got a Gold Berry, not to mention a Pinsir. But I didn't add that Pinsir to my team; instead, I went into Route 35 and caught a Growlithe. Then I headed into Goldenrod's Underground and gave Torina a haircut (which is stupid; she doesn't have any hair). Then I headed into the Game Corner and played the slots for a while... I started with 50 coins, but I kept having to restart when I lost them all. Finally I lined up the three 7's, so I was able to get an Abra as a prize. I added the Growlithe and Abra I just got to my team, but unfortunately that meant I had to kick Torina and Shelob off my team... :( And those were two of my favourite team members too... but they weren't the best battlers.

After making the changes to my team, it was training time. I trained Kinenda, my new Abra, by switching her out, until she evolved to Kadabra. Collie's kind of hard to train right now, even with all those bug Pokemon showing up, and I wish Taliante would learn a better attacking move than Lick... I'm planning to get my team to level 20 before battling Whitney.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emerald

Trainer: Panther
Starter: Treecko
Current Team:
Legolas (Grovyle, level 24)
SurferDude (Azumarill, level 23)
Loudmouth (Loudred, level 23)
Judo (Hariyama, level 24)
Amidala (Kirlia, level 24)
Ace (Swellow, level 24)

In this game I was adamant about catching only Pokemon I wanted on my team. Before I got my first badge, I had Legolas, SurferDude, Loudmouth, Ace, Amidala, and a Poochyena named Alpha on my team, which hasn't changed much since. The battle with Roxanne was very time-consuming; Nosepass used Block on Alpha, whose only attacking move was Tackle. She kept using Growl and Sand-Attack against Nosepass until she eventually got KO'd. By that time, Nosepass's HP was in the red zone, so Legolas finished it off with Absorb.

When I got to Dewford, I made my way through Granite Cave without using Flash, eventually getting all the way to Steven to deliver the letter. On the way I caught a Makuhita (Judo), who I added to my team in place of Alpha. Then I headed to Slateport and took care of Team Aqua there (Legolas evolved during that time), delivering the Devon Goods to Captain Stern. I made my way north into Route 111 to reach Mauville, but Brendan stopped me on the way and demanded a battle, which I lost.

After that happened, I decided it was time to train my team up a bit... While I was at it, I headed into the Trick House... only to find out I needed Cut to get through it. So I went all the way back to Rustboro City to catch a Nincada, naming him Sasuke and teaching him Cut. Then I trained my team to level 18 and tried battling Brendan again. This time the battle was kind of easy--Loudmouth took care of his Wingull quite easily, SurferDude owned Combusken, and Ace had an easy time with Lombre.

Upon reaching Mauville, I battled the trainers on Route 117, during which most of my Pokemon reached level 20. It was at this time that Loudmouth and Amidala evolved. After that happened, I headed back to Dewford to get my second badge.

After getting badge #2, I headed back to Slateport... and battled the Winstrate family, which wasn't too hard. I had Judo first in my party during those battles, so he was able to get all the way to level 24 and evolve. The battles were good training for my other Pokemon as well; Ace also evolved during the battles.

Around that time, I planned out what my final team would be: Sceptile, Exploud, Medicham, Dusclops, Seviper, and Gorebyss (provided I can trade of course; if not then Sharpedo). However, it will be a while before I'm able to catch some of those Pokemon...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Platinum

I posted some of the recent happenings in this game in the D/P section, but now I'm posting it here because it's another rom. I started this game before the other three, so I'm further along in this one.

Trainer: Eve
Rival: Warren
Starter: Chimchar
Current Team:
Imp (Infernape, level 42)
Ferrum (Bronzong, level 43)
Robomaster (Rotom, level 43)
Moria (Gabite, level 42)
MetaKnight (Gallade, level 42)
Kraken (Tentacruel, level 42)

My team has had some interesting team members on it in the past... I owned Gardenia's Pokemon with a Ponyta named Shadowfax; he was the strongest Pokemon on my team thanks to his Flame Wheel. I also used to have a Luxio named Electra, who really helped me out during the battle with Fantina. Then I had a Cherubi named Jubilee, who was originally going to be on my final team. Also, right after I got my second badge, I had a Ralts named Prince, but he wasn't on my team; I just caught him for the heck of it in case I wanted a Gallade for whatever reason later on. (I caught a female Ralts as well in case I wanted to breed them.)

The team I had planned out at the time consisted of Infernape, Bronzong, Rotom, Garchomp, Cherrim, and Gyarados (I hadn't caught the Gyarados yet; I was just planning to). I posted this team for rating somewhere, movesets and all, and all three raters said that I needed to kick Jubilee (the future Cherrim) off my team due to his Sunnybeam moveset. I had said that I had a Staravia, Gallade, and Giratina "waiting to be added to the team", and all three raters recommended I add Gallade. I decided that if I added Gallade, I would have too many physical sweepers on my team, so I decided on Tentacruel instead of Gyarados.

After I confirmed this dream team, the fun began. Since this game was a rom, I couldn't resist the temptation to use Pokesav. So I did, but only minimally; I mostly used it to maximise my team's EV's, and to add TM's and various items. I also used it to get a Shaymin and Arceus...

The problem with my dream team was that I couldn't catch a Tentacool until I was able to use Surf. Fortunately, I had everyone else. It was at this time that I dug Prince out of my PC, evolved him to Kirlia, used a Dawn Stone on him, and changed his name to MetaKnight since it sounded more appropriate. For a temporary replacement of Tentacool, I added the Arceus I hacked to my team, nicknaming it Celeste. I had also obtained all the plates, making for extra fun, and a moveset consisting of Cosmic Power, Recover, Refresh, and Judgment. I also obtained the Secret Key this way, since Mystery Gift isn't available for a rom...

With my team, I made my way to Veilstone City, where I defeated Maylene pretty easily. In these gym battles, I decided to make things fair by not using Celeste in any of them. But Ferrum and Robomaster (who was in Fan form) made easy work of Maylene. After that, I headed to Celestic Town, surprised at the Swablus that appeared in the grass on the way. There I had to battle some Galactic people--it was in these battles that I finally used Celeste, who owned them with Judgment. (They deserve it, right?) Later on I made my way to Pastoria, where Robomaster and MetaKnight (he knew Leaf Blade) made easy work of Crasher Wake.

Immediately after getting my fifth badge... well first, I had to chase down the Galactic Grunt headed to Lake Valor. Okay, after that, I caught a Wingull and named him Smee. Smee became an HM slave once he evolved, for Surf, Defog, and Fly. Smee flew my team to Route 218, where I finally caught a Tentacool. Placing Kraken, this new Tentacool on my team, I said my goodbyes to Celeste. (Don't worry, I didn't release it; I just deposited it in my box, never bringing it out again to this day.)

And now for the recent happenings. Of course, Kraken evolved to Tentacruel pretty quickly; I caught him at level 30. I headed through Iron Island, receiving the Riolu egg (which is still unhatched), and trained my team there as well as in Route 218. When everyone was at level 40, I battled Byron. The battle was laughably easy; Rotom OHKO'd his Magneton with Overheat (he was in Heat Form), Moria OHKO'd his Bastiodon with Earthquake, and Kraken OHKO'd his Steelix with Surf.

After that battle, I headed to the Canalave Library, where I talked with Rowan, Warren, and Lucas about the legendary Pokemon and Team Galactic. An earthquake occurred, and Rowan instructed me to head to Lake Valor. There, I found the lake dried up and Magikarps flopping about... I defeated the Galactic people there fairly easily, then moved on to Lake Verity, doing the same thing. Then I headed to Lake Acuity... Actually, I'm still on the way there. I only have four of my team members with me (I left Imp and Robomaster behind); the other two are HM slaves. So I made it through Mt. Coronet and part of Route 216, battling some trainers along the way. I stopped to rest at the lodge there and called it a day.

mystera October 16th, 2009 5:28 AM

Lost to Argenta (Hall Matron) 1st time when my Lv. 100 Blaziken fainted because her Lv. 100 Kingdra used Hydro Pump.

About to EV train Leafeon.

TimeDialga33 November 2nd, 2009 4:47 PM

I already Restarted Pokemon Diamond Version and now me and my rival are facing jupiter and mars at spear pillar at the top of mt coronet.

Season November 2nd, 2009 9:20 PM

I just put my level 1 Riolu up for trade in the GTS and got a level 1 Munchlax for it. I think it was a great trade and I'm really happy with it. I've always wanted a Munchlax and knew I would never get one on my own (hours and hours wasted on those damn honey trees.)
I've always hated Riolu, I've never once used one of them. The way they look just annoys me.

La Foudre November 27th, 2009 11:28 AM

Okayso, in my signature, on the second trainer card, which pokemon should I kick off the team for Weavile? Or is it best as it is? I've been wondering this for a while.

other than that, I'm just struggling to beat Cyrus in the distortion world.

Klofkac November 27th, 2009 11:36 AM

The torterra fainted against electric-type pokémon, foe used SonicBoom, while HP was 19.

La Foudre November 27th, 2009 12:35 PM

Beat Cyrus, now trying to raise my Pokemon's levels for Sunnyshore.

Charmageddon November 27th, 2009 2:51 PM

Mostly been doing the rounds on Pearl today. I'm trying to catch every available Pokemon in the game and raise them to fully evolved. It aint easy, I can tel ya. Training Hoppip and Togepi in the morning, got them evolved all the way. Then I was very happy, 'cos I was breeding for an Aipom with Run Away (and therefore Technician when it evolves) as my sixth permanent team member. On the second egg I got one with Run Away, and it was Adamant as well! Score! Taught it Shadow Claw, Strength and Brick Break, and trained it to lvl. 29. Then I tried beating up some noobs in the Battle Tower so I could get enough BP for the Aerial Ace TM, and got absolutely murdered by my rival's dad after my 20th straight win (My team consisted of Mismagius, Garchomp and Infernape, so I had no real counter to either Milotic or Dragonite).

Medli November 29th, 2009 6:06 PM

I started my first ever Pearl file recently. So far, the 4th Generation isn't... too bad, I guess. I still don't like some of the evolutions, but it doesn't really matter.

First time I got a starter other than the Fire type. I got Piplup instead, since I'm not really feeling the crazed Fire Monkey (I suppose it makes more sense than a Fire CHICKEN... but it also doesn't really matter).

At Hearthome City. It's probably one of my favorite cities/towns/etc. in any Pokemon game.

Team (including nicknames):
Male Prinplup (Loren)
Male Staravia (Raphael)
Female Budew (Shoshana)
Female Chingling (Cathi)
Female Misdreavus (Fae)
Bidoof the HM Slave (Dalek... don't ask. I give weird nicknames to my HM Slaves)

La Foudre December 1st, 2009 4:45 PM

I beat the Sunnyshore gym, and restarted LeafGreen. I'm waiting until Christmas break to finish Platinum.
