I beat Platinum, but I can't post information until I've beat the 4 games before it (FireRed, HeartGold, Ruby & XD). I also beat White's main storyline for the first time. My new favourite main pokemon game.
Shouldn't be too long before my last FireRed Update.
EDIT: So, finished up FireRed, not as easy as last time I did it. I was a few levels under from last time I faced Champion Rival.
Okay, so getting there was easy, I used some moveset strategy to take them out, using Brick Break with Flame until I swapped it with Dragon Claw near the end. Nick (Rival) took a few tries to defeat, Pidgeot would heal up if I didn't be too weak, Rhydon would One-hit my entire team (got lucky once and left with 11HP) and Blastoise took forever before he ran our of Hydro Pumps so I could finally wittle down his health. The rest of his team was easy.

MVP: Flame; the CHARIZARD
-This guy won the MVP spot by a long shot. He was an overleveled beast at the start, and continued being super useful even when the others caught up to him. Then near the end, after he was able to learn Dragon Claw and Earthquake, he became the strongest by a long shot, being the one to use for pretty much every Elite Four fight, those extra two levels prove it. I named him Flame because I name my Fire Starters after something related to fire.
LVP: Flare; the FLAREON
-This guy was definitely the LVP. Even though near the end, I didn't know if it would go to Ashe or not, since when I first got him, he was a lot more useful then Ashe, but ended up being pretty average near the end, because of his limited moveset. But he was doing good for a Pokémon that is normally awful. I named him Flare, becau- it's obvious.
Flareon.
Other: Ashe; the ARCANINE
-On my first Fire Monotype run, this guy was amazing. This time around, not so much. It was him or Flare that was getting LVP and he's lucky he wasn't. Unlike last time I used him, I found him lacking in the moveset department, missing two attacks that would've helped immensely (Iron Tail & Bite). I named him Ashe after
Ashes. Not after Ash Ketchum.
