Trading, breeding and battling on Platinum and waiting on Silver to come out.

Bought Pokemon Platinum today.

Started off with a turtwig, evolved it into a grottle after the first gym.
Caught a Machop, traded it for an Abra and evolved it into a Kadabra (:
Evolved my Starly into a Staravia, and caught a Ponyta for my fire pokeon, about to train her now.

Today I decided to restart Platinum with a revised team. I started with Chimchar again, and I've just started to play. :)

Diamond: nothing

Platinum: training Shinx and Turtwig then going to defeat roark :)

May 24 2009
I have just gotten my second gym badge and defeated Jupiter at the Eterna City Galactic building.
(Her Skuntank KO'ed my entire team save for Luxio and Grotle.)
Currently on the Cycling road on the way to Oreburgh City and then to Hearthome City.


Current team
Grotle lv. 23
Bibarel lv. 15
Luxio lv. 16
Staravia lv. 17
Budew lv. 16
Ponyta lv. 18

I ripped open the packaging on my Platinum on friday, and after quite the battle with the stupid cardboard wrapping and the cellophane, I finally shoved it into my DS and sat down oblivious to everyone, and everything, else, with my PorygonZ plushie Percy and my Mewtwo plushie Merry tucked under each arm.

I started it up, chose a female sprite called Bailey and set off. I went through the usual yak yak before choosing Piplup as my starter, and naming him Ethanol. As soon as I could trade, I sent 5 pre-prepared eggs from Diamond to Platinum and set about hatching them, nicknaming my pokémon as they hatched (can anyone see the theme?).

Ethanol, Piplup, Male
Vanadium, Oddish, Male
Carbon, Charmander, Male
Propane, Porygon, Genderless (male ;))
Lithium, Riolu, Male

I grinded my way to Oreburgh, gaining many levels and evolving Carbon and Ethanol before challenging Roark. We won easily, and, with our new badge, set off back to Jubilife. We ran into Looker again before heading North and making our way to Floarama Town.

After collecting the Sprayduck pail, some berries and healing everyone up, we sorted out Team Galactic in the Windworks as well as the meadow, sending Looker hot on their tail. I then started travelling to Eterna, and accompanied a girl named Cheryl through the forest, before entering Eterna.

There I ran into Barry, my rival, and he showed me a statue. He ran off somewhere, babbling nonsense, and I began to explore Eterna. I got the HM01 and am now grinding in preparation for the Eterna gym battle!

Current Team:-

Ethanol, Prinlup, level 18
Vanadium, Oddish, Level 18
Carbon, Charmeleon, Level 19
Propane, Porygon, Level 17
Lithium, Riolu, level 17

Until next time! Ozy x

been playing platinum non stop since the release day on last friday Im now on my way to the top of mt coronet

I've been ev training and trying to find certain pokemon to fit into my team. I have 3 good solid pokemon that I know I can count on in a pinch but I'm looking for one more solid one. I basically live in the BT. That's where I train my skills as a trainer. I love double battles the most though. I want to collect the ribbons in the BT so far I only got one and that's the first one that palmer offers. I want the rest of them but I have to train harder and come up with better techniques. Until next time! :D

You must be mean if Riolu hasn't evolved yet. :p


Anyhoo. I've been doing 1/3 training my team, 2/3 expanding my 'dex, mostly thanks to one cool dude on these forums (Thank you, Matzzz :) )

Leveling up a lot of dudes, breeding a lot more dudes. (My Ditto, who has never seen combat, is a higher level than my Staraptor, who has been a member of my team since we met on Route 201). In my quest for the best Skarmory, I now have 19 in my box. Someday I'll level up my Bagon enough for it to evolve.

Someday.

Was trying to catch giratina before but accidently killed it and stupid me forgot to save it before I battled giratina. So now I have started back to where I last saved it thankfully at Spear Pillar. Now I have to bet the commanders and then go back to Distortion World and catch giratina (again) :(

In platinum I beat about 5 gyms already and stopped eevee from elvoving to an Espeon ( I want an umbreon) so I just goofed off until it's night to make it evolve again.

- Finished the Main Quest
- Trying to fill in(just see) the rest of my Sinnoh Dex before I even think about going to the Battle Frontier; I like my National Dex and I want my Pal Park.
- Captured some Legendaries

Current Team:
Empoleon
Machamp
Giratina
Garchomp
Snorlax

Caught giratina with a master ball :( I had to..About to attempt to capture Uxie, Mespirt and Axelf. Then get my last badge and lvl my pokemon to 60's :D

Currently playing Platinum and leveling Ponyta to around LV.25 and then i will battle the Grass Gym.

Long posts...

I've long since stopped doing my old game, and restarted in pokemon diamond. I will be owning pokemon platinum shortly, and then will be diverting my attention through all 3 of my games: diamond, sapphire and platinum. I will use sapphire to catch pokemon which using diamond's pal park I will transfer to diamond and then to platinum. But before then here is my diamond adventure...

metal claw

Angel/Espeon* (female) lv.52:

Whirlwind/Meganium* (male) lv.52:

Mystic/Ninetales* (female) lv.52:

Confuse ray

*I have action replay and was able to get these pokemon before the national dex and also teach them any TM move.

The Adventure:

I had made it to the top of the Veilstone Galactic headquarters. I had battled my way through several annoying Galactic Grunts who's sayings of "I will beat you with my tough pokemon" sent me into peals of laughter. Their pokemon were ridiculously weak and the slightest attack would make them faint. But now I had a much harder battle on my hands: Cyrus. The blue-haired lunatic leader of the Galactic organsation wanted to challenge me. So I checked my pokemon were healthy and took the challenge. Surprisingly, our battle went a little something like this:

Angel:Thunderbolt, bye bye Murkrow.
Angel:Thunderbolt, bye bye Golbat.
Mystic:Flamethrower, bye bye Sneasel.

I was very surprised. Our battle had been extremely easy!
(I'm quite tired of writing so we'll skip over some boring bits. Basically then I battled Saturn and was victorious, Cyrus gave me a masterball, I bought lots of supplies from the Veilstone department store and made my way to Mt.Coronet.)

Once we were at Mt.coronet I used a master repel so I wouldn't be disturbed by annoying wild pokemon. I used alot of Rock climbing, surfing and other Hms, so my Hm slave was quite tired out at the end. I managed to obtain many useful items along the way, along with several tiny mushrooms! I am now near the top of spear pillar, where I will battle Team Galactic leaders, (including Cyrus again...) and hopefully capture Diagla!!

Updates later.
