I like the idea of this thread, so I guess it won't hurt to post.
Game started at 10/13/12

Trainer Name: Nathan
Team:
Pignite (Xhao) lvl 19
Riolu (Darius) lvl 18
Growlithe (Buster) lvl 18
(I know that my team is quite bad because of them having same types. I kept catching things without thinking xD)

Journal:
Started the game.
Picked Tepig.
Saw Alder jumping off cliffs twice without breaking bones (lol it was awesome)
Caught Riolu at lvl 7 in Floccesy Ranch
Defeated Cheren, grabbing my first gym badge.
Caught Growlithe at lvl 13 in Virbank Complex
Defeated Roxie, grabbing my second gym badge.
Sailed to Castelia City. Thanks Papa Roxie!

To be continued...

Just defeated the electric gym leader (I forgot her name, I think it's Elesa or something similar), I expected it to be a difficult battle but it was easier than I thought with Pignite + Rollout and Sandile + Dig.

My Team;

Pignite Lv28
Flaaffy Lv26
Krokorok Lv29
Tranquill Lv26

So I decided to halt my White 2 progress & start up Black 2. However, unlike White 2 where I used whatever I could find in game. I'll be playing with a team I traded over from Black. Playing on challenge mode I just got the first badge.


AuraKing (13)


SkyQueen (10)


StoneKing (10)


FrostQueen (10)


FlameKing (10)


SurgeQueen (10)

I'm going to try to make my updates a bit more neat now.

Right now I'm trying to train all of my main Pokemon to at least level 40, since Galvantula got a big level boost and was basically overleveled compared to the rest of my team. I plan on evolving Vice soon since he's getting a bit behind everybody else. I aslo finally got around to training Espeon and was rewarded with him learning Psychic. I also have been training a Leavanny I caught in some shaking grass a while back. Leavanny is proving to be a tough fighter. I caught Cobalion, but I don't intend on using him, since I plan on trying to EV train all the legendarys I get. I have also caught a Roserade, Dunsparce, and Camerupt, but I also don't intend on using them in the main game. That about wraps it up.





Current Team


Boxed Team

Just beat Roxie for the second badge. I decided to scrap my last team and use a team of only Unova Pokemon.

Juggernaut (Timburr) 13


Gundam (Golett) 13


ApexKiller (Archen) 13


Mr.Frosty (Vanillite) 13


AstralLord (Litwick) 13


Hitman (Pawniard) 16

The other day my Pignite, Blaze evolved into an Emboar. I also caught a Roselia named Rose and she is now a Roserade. I battled Gym Leader Clay and won. I also entered the Driftveil Tournament and won that as well. I traveled through Chargestone Cave and I am now in Mistralton City. I have caught a Buizel named Jet and a Braviary named Sky. I am training them now.

Beat Skyla, nothing all that interesting happened except for a lot of training through Celestial Tower.

Current team:

Interdum (m)
Level 41


Aurum (m)
Level 40


Wheatley
Level 40

I've accomplished the following things since my last post:

• Won the Driftveil Tournament
• Encountered Team Plasa
• Went through Chargestone Cave, Trapinch evolved in the process.
• Caught a couple of N's Joltik and Ferroseed while looking for a Tynamo.7
• Arrived in Mistralton

Current Status
On my way to Celestial Tower

Team
Samurott "Takeru" lv.37
Monferno "Sun Wukong" lv.35
Haunter "Ophelia" lv.36
Houndoom "Midnight" lv.36
Magneton "Gamma" lv.34
Vibrava "Horizon" lv.35

Took these deliverers forever, eh? My package shipped yesterday, and it was within the same country. Hmm...

So! I ran through the package checklist, inserted the game card, and off we go to yet another adventure. It took me forever to reset for a Snivy that I can get behind with, but since this is the beginning and in-game, I'm going to have bigger tolerances. So we have Keiran, a male Snivy, eh? He's quite the one that can take quite a beating and dish it out at the same time.

Hugh indeed got served, several times. The very first routes are a breeze, as well as the beginning Trainer battles. Heck, I even breezed through Cheren's Gym, and the Oran Berries that Alder gave me earlier came in super handy - I didn't have to waste a turn just for a Potion which is just as easily wasted.

Sure enough, Snivy laid waste to Cheren. Everything. I swear, I think I'm on easy mode even though I am not...

Oh, and Pokemon Dream Radar sure came in handy in filling in my party with useful Pokemon. I got a duplicate Drifloon, though, so it got stashed to the PC Boxes. Oh, and a Purrloin I caught in the game, I named it LD (after a certain beloved fuzzy purple cat LugiaDialga that is in PC), and, well, kept it in. Time to find some Audino around Virbank to get the rest of my team to around level 17 or so...

Hugh's some guy with personality... and issues, I've noticed.

Ok just defeated Marlon and now I'm trying to capture Terrakion, using up a lot of Ultra Balls too ;;

- Progress -
Well I met Colress Crustle out of the way(after the battle of course). Then I trained up a few of my pokemon on Route 4 then made my way up to Nimbasa were I decided I would have Keldeo on my team, so I trained up Keldeo in the Nimbasa area on Route 5 & 16. I evolved Electabuzz into Electivire and used him against Elesa which he worked out perfectly with his new move Earthquake. Now I am off to battle Charles so he can get out of my way.

Spoiler:

• Started as the male protagonist; named myself Maverik
• Chose Snivy, because I always use Oshawott, and I don't want to use Tepig
• Was very startled to see Alder jump off a cliff at me
• When searching for the Herdier, captured a Riolu, nicknamed him Vladmir.
• Also caught an Azurill (Penelope) in the farm, was the worst decision of my life.
• Surprisingly beat Cheren's Work-up-ing pooch with Azurill. (I charmed until it cancelled out Work Up, and then chipped away with Bubblebeam.
• Went to Virbank and was surprised, but completely ecstatic, to see Magby. Caught one and named it Hades.
• Audino-spammed until my team was at level 19 and then swept Roxie's Pokemon.
• Participated in a few movies cause it was too darn fun!
• Chased Plasma out, and took the ship to Castelia.
• Riolu and Azurill finally evolve, unfortunately after Roxie >_>
• Searched around, got a few good items, and after learning of Burgh's disappearance, was lead to the sewers by Iris.
• Now I'm currently scouring in this filthy place with Hugh.

Alright, it's taken me quite a long time to update, but so much has happened! I am currently heading to Opelucid to fight Drayden. My team has undergone drastic changes, all of which I am extremely proud of.

Now trying to get my team to 55 before facing Drayden. Really it's only cause I want Trapinch to evolve with Earthquake, since the TM is only available post-game. :(

Okay, after just over half a week's worth of soft-resetting, I finally got an Oshawott with decent IVs. I'm currently in Floccesy.

Team:

Oshawott (male), lv. 7:
-Tackle
-Tail Whip
-Water Gun
Nature: Hardy

That was some toasty Roxie action just now, eh? I've managed to silence the entire band... and boy, Roxie's a funny girl. The Mystery Gift Genesect came in super-handy, and it obliterated Roxie's entire gang for some reason.

...And we're dragged off to PokeStar Studios and had to get involved in some funny filming fantasies. But first, off to watch a... hilariously corny movie. Then I get to... uh... partake in the filming of the same corny movie? Oh my goodness.

Team Plasma is back. Plaaaaaaassssssmaa.... they sure sputtered out fast. Guess when you're disjointed, you're disjointed. No matter where you hide, Twiggy will find you. Always.

I think Nate talks too much already! Off my count, he has already went through over a hundred coherent sentences at this point. So long, silent protagonists.

It's CASTELIA time! Oh? What's that? Harlequin hunt? No matter, but these clowns sure got them going. Didn't take much time to get them, and... oh, and I do get a shiny bicycle to go with, too. It's TOO fast!

The mystery of Mr. Lock: did he leave the building, or did he pass away? Whatever it is, the building's occupied by someone else at this point.

I see that the janitor is now really a janitor in the Battle Company. Why? Retirement, of course! Now we've got an underage school kid instead as the... CEO. That's right :P

Burgh- wait, Iris, what are you doing here? No matter, I hate video game sewers. Plasma is a waste of oxygen.

I see Burgh's Gym got all webbed up and is full of clowns. Again. Also, it's very weird. Swablu and Genesect again took the cake this time, with Keiran in the backseat for the time being.

Then I somehow decided to waste my time filming multiple films... And then Colress would like to challenge me. Challenge accepted! And sure enough, I broke no sweat, though I did had Keiran faint.

...dead battery. Good thing I saved right after the last battle, eh? 8 hours with C-Gear stuff on is quite impressive.

Got Dream World stuff all working at this point, and as expected, the goodies are now on my Game Card.

Passed Undella Town and went through Lacunosta Town and Opelucid City. Recently got 7th badge ridiculosly easily with Vanille, whose recently evolved into Vaniluxe. Onto Humilau City and new gym leader Moron… I mean Marlon.

Sadly, Alex is recently been rather underwhelming with her performance in battling, so I'm considering changing her for another Pokemon.

As mentioned above, Vanille has evolved into Vaniluxe.

I just started yesterday and this time i'm going to take it pretty slow so that I may enjoy the game to the fullest! I plan on ev training my true team through the game to make it last longer and I plan on hunting for decent natures and decent iv's.

Trainer name: Turn
Starter: Tepig (Kosher)
It took me awhile to get a nice nature. I ended up with Naughty and I think ok iv's I can't remember them I'll check them later.

So as soon as Kosher and I began our journey the professor's assistant insisted that I have a pokemon battle with Hugh. Although I wanted to start my journey right away, I'm not a punk lol So Kosher destroyed Hugh's Oshawott and we got a little cash for the win! I'm about to head off on my journey but hugh's little sister stops me and gives me a town map....but there is a catch! I have to give one to her brother as well. Even though this slows my journey down it was a free town map so I guess i'll go find him. So as soon as I was making my way to the next town I got stopped by this dude with red hair......I think his name was Adler. SO MANY INTERRUPTIONS!! He told me a bit about my pokemon and told me that he would train me but first he would let me deliver a town map to hugh. So on my way to the next route I challenge trainers or rather they challenge me and I stumble across a ranch while catching pokemon along the way. I step inside of the ranch and Hugh wants to fight again. He was so pumped i couldn't even get out that I was trying to give him the town map. So I had to beat him, again! After he gave me more money, I gave him his town map. While on the ranch the couple who owned it lost a Herdier and asked us if we could possibly locate it. So Hugh and I went looking for it and I ran across the lost Herdier along with someone who said they were from team plasma.......weren't they crushed by someone? Anyway, I returned the herdier to the couple and headed back to Adler for training. Once I made it back to him, he told me that it looked like I became a bit experienced so he wanted me to battle against some trainers and I did because I'm no punk! lol So I beat the trainers in there and made my way back to my hometown to take on the gym leader! So I start running because I'm super anxious and what happens? I get stopped by yet another person. This time someone talking about medals of some sort. So I kinda ignore him, take the box and the medals, say goodbye and try to get back to town! I finally make it to the gym/school and someone tells me that I can get a fighting type from the farm and that there were Riolu there! My eyes got huge! Wow I could actually catch Riolu? OH YEAH!!! I think I found a new pokemon for my team but I don't want to capture him in a regular pokeball....well I guess I'll beat the gym leader first and then go capture my Riolu. So I make it to the gym and come to find out Cheren is the gym leader! Go figure! He tells me to beat his two trainers before I can fight him and I did. Now I'm having a tough time fighting him because I only have one pokemon for my real team and the others i'm trying to level up together so it takes awhile but planning and strategy helps me with the win. Now I have my first badge! Time to go buy some great balls and get Riolu! So I head back to the ranch and after a hour, i got a riolu with a mild nature but amazing iv's! I named him Auro! So now I'm stuck deciding if I want to ev train with no equipment, or wait for a macho brace, or wait even more for vitamins.....decisions decisions.....
