Damn, that sucks. I hope that bastard gets caught soon. If my DS got stolen, I'd flip. Thankfully all of my solo challenges are on my computer (I use ROMs because I don't wanna delete my other game files lol) so unless my computer gets taken, they're safe. Was it a DSi, DS Lite, or just an old DS, if I may ask?

DS lite, Seen as it has the best Flash card compatibility which is what I use to play Black. Anyway he wasn't very careful with how he stole stuff and we will probably be able to catch him soon enough. I would have been so much more pissed if Platinum had of been in my DS cause as I said that has pretty much 5-6yrs worth of pokemon on it(I like keeping all my pokemon in one game usually). I think our insurance covers the DS though so I might get a new one soon :D.

P.S. I would have lol'ed if he took my old DS seen as the top screens completely screwed and it's near impossible to do anything with it.

Quick update: sped through the rest of the Kanto badges. Now, I'm going back to battle any trainers I missed so I have the most amount of experience possible before...you know, I don't know if I'm going to tackle the higher-leveled Elite Four or head straight to Red. We'll see.

Another update on the Zangoose Challenge!
-Arrived and passed through Solaceon Town
-Traveled up to Veilstone City
-Took a LONG detour by traveling all the way to Pastoria and grabbing TM40 to teach Aerial Ace to Katana
-Took on Maylene and beat her easily with said achieved Aerial Ace
-Helped Dawn get her PokéDex back and got HM02
-Went back to Pastoria
-Found out this interesting fact: When you enter Pastoria City for the first time, and if, before doing anything else, before even talking to anyone, you walk up behind the Croagunk billboard, a cut scene activates where a Croagunk walks up to the side of the poster, looks towards you, laughs, and then enters the marsh. I found this fairly humorous.
-Moving on: Took on Crasher Wake and demolished him
-Chased the Galactic freak to the lake and beat him
-Got the SecretPotion from Cynthia
-Removed the Psyducks and got the Old Charm
-Traveled to Celestic Town and beat the grunt there, then beat Cyrus with ease
-Got HM03
-Did some exploring with Surf, finding extra stuff and clearing the route that leads to the Pal Park
-Surfed to Canalave
-Beat Barry with no trouble
-Sailed to Iron Island and got HM04
-Cleared Iron Island with the epic combo of Zangoose and Lucario
-Returned to Canalave and took on Byron, winning with Brick Break
-Went to the library and felt the tremor
-Flew to Lake Valor and defeated Saturn
-Flew to Lake Verity and beat up Mars
-Am currently heading towards Snowpoint City

I plan to be finished for my next update, which I think will be my 100th, so it's extra special! :D

USC #3 is finished! Katana the Zangoose powered through the rest of the game with ease.
-Arrived in Snowpoint
-Took on Candice and won easily with Brick Break and Aerial Ace (for Froslass and Abomasnow)
-Climbed up to Lake Acuity and saw Jupiter leaving
-Flew to Veilstone and infiltrated the Galactic HQ
-Took every grunt down and got the key
-Entered the front and found Cyrus
-Battled Cyrus and won handily
-Beat Saturn again and freed the lake Pokémon
-Flew to Mt. Coronet and climbed to the top
-Witnessed the awesome cut scene and entered the Distortion World
-Navigated the mazes and puzzles until I met Cyrus again
-Defeated Cyrus quickly and took down Giratina
-Exited the Distortion World and headed to Sunyshore
-Arrived in Sunyshore and met Flint
-Went to the lighthouse and found Volkner, who returned to the gym
-Followed Volkner to the Gym and beat him with no problems (I got lucky and Static didn't take effect during his battle; it did everywhere else in the gym, though. >.<)
-Got HM07
-Surfed to the entrance to Victory Road
-Navigated through Victory Road (I've played this so many times it's like the map is burnt into my head)
-Arrived at the Pokémon League
-Beat Barry one last time and started the final challenge
-Aaron: Bug types are not good at withstanding Aerial Ace
-Bertha: Required a Swords Dance and a few Brick Breaks/Slashes (depending on typing)
-Flint: Swords Dance + Slash spam
-Lucian: See Flint (Bronzong is the exception; it needed a Brick Break instead)
-Cynthia: Swords Dance, then Aerial Ace for Spiritomb and Roserade, Brick Break for Lucario, and Slash for everything else

And that brings to a close my third Ultimate Solo Challenge. Looking back, I was skeptical of using a Normal type, since I never have before. But Zangoose surprised me. Definitely have a respect for Normal types now, for their versatility (and lack of weaknesses). Swords Dance has also earned a place on my roster of useful moves. I never used stat boosting moves before, but after using Swords Dance, Zangoose was always unstoppable.

Also, 100th post dance! And right on my last update for this challenge. Very fitting, if I do say so myself.

Thought I'd send in another quick update...I'm still clearing routes of all trainers. All that remains are the two routes surrounding the Seafoam Islands and, of course, anyone in the Seafoam. I feel like there are two or three people in there...but I'll probably just ignore them for now. I don't need to catch Articuno or anything. (:

Champ the Feraligatr is currently at level 88.
He has a Hardy nature, loves to eat, and holds a Shell Bell.
His stats are 289/230/210/164/164/194.
He slaughters all opposition with Waterfall, Crunch, Ice Fang, and Earthquake.
This is a beast. And I love him to death.

What level did Zangoose finish at (in the other games, too, if you don't mind)? I'm curious because it only takes 600,000 exp points to get him to L100.

I think I started one of these a while ago on Pearl with a Flygon and got to the seventh badge, but since that was so long ago I want to start a new run on Platinum with Spheal --> Sealeo --> Walrein. I've already prepared the egg and will be starting tomorrow, if not tonight.

I'm gonna start a solo with a Dratini if I'm able to get into the flippin' dragons den so I can catch one, then raise the egg, then trade it over to my friends game to have her trade it back to me, then restart my game, walk 10k steps, and THEN finally start up the game. And this is all on my actual gameboy, so I won't be able to get any screenshots :(. Silver beeteedubs. Me and my friend lily are facing off in real life to see who's fastest and strongest. It's gonna be a blast.
