I beat Roxanne yesterday. I expected to use Combusken(it evolved) but all I needed was Brella. And so now they're both level 16. And I have one badge. And I can go save elves from pirates. <3<3
Oh, and, yaaaaaay someone who's doing it on a handheld device!
to my infinity,
you are beyond~

Game: Pokemon Emerald
Type: Flying

Intro


- Started up Emerald on my Nintendo DS
- Changed the setting to "Text speed > Fast"
- Named my character "Joe" (My name Of course)
- Arrived in Littleroot town from the Truck and was greeted by Mom
- Went into the house, was told to set the clock in my room to the correct time
- Went back downstairs when Mom tells me that Dad's on TV but we just missed him.
- Leave the house and go next door to meet new neighbour "May"
- Exit May's out and went out of Littleroot town where a little girl tells me there's trouble ahead
- Professor Birch is being attacked by a Zigzagoon and tells me to pick one of the Pokemon from his bag
- I picked... Torchic!
- Defeated the Zigzagon and saved Professor Birch
- Returned to Professor Birch's lab and got given the Torchic I used to save him earlier on! (Not going to be using Torchic considering my type is flying and I have my team planned out :P)
- Left Birch's lab and exited out of Littleroot town,
- Carried on north up the Route, battled a few pokemon, and eventually reached Odale town! :)
- Carried on through Odale town up North to Route 103
- Walked to the top of Route 103 to find May standing in the grass
- Talked to May and offered to battle
- May sends out her Level 5 Mudkip! - Torchic, used Scratch (Regardless that Torchic has low hp) :/ - Mudkip used tackle - Torchic used scratch, ect. 2 hp left, Torchic uses scratch (Critical hit!) and defeated Mudkip, leveld up (Level 6)
- Returned to Littleroot town and to Professor Birch's lab.
- Receive the Pokedex from Professor Birch and set off for my journey

I would do it on gameboy, but I prefer VBA because of the super speed button that makes grinding go wicked fast. Kind of cheating, I know, but hey, I don't really care.

Gonna be posting a big update soon.
That's EXACTILY why I like using VBA :P

EXACTLY.

I already am signed up. I'm doing the Psychic run. I'm pretty close to being finished.

UPDATE:

Pokemon Grinding. (for levels).


Pfft.


They actually gave me a bit more trouble than I thought...


Now that I got Dive, I got a water stone from the sunken ship, and finished my team.


I saved the world. Killed the Groudon. Don't care.


WALLAS


That's right, Calm Mind sweep. Even Milotic got one-shotted by Psychic.

Now I'm gonna go do some side questing and then take on the E4.

By side question, I meant getting this TM:


I'm sure we all know why I needed that.

Anyhow. Victory Road. Sucks.


Ew Wally.


My Gardevoir > yours.

And then after only like twenty minutes of grinding, I'm happy with my team.

Here's one final look before the Elite Four:



UPDATE:

Well everyone I took a ton of screenshots and was gonna make this a cool post but there were just too many screenshots so I'll type it all out.

Sidney:
Medicham Hi Jump Kicked his way to a very easy victory here.

Phoebe:
Problems. The first Dusclops easily survived Alakazam's Shadow Balls and killed me with a few Shadow Punches. I had to struggle with the rest of my fast and hard hitting team. Starmie defeated the Sableye with a critical surf.

Glacia:
Medicham shines again. Fighting types are beast in this game. I won with 5 Hi Jump Kicks, plain and simple.

Drake:
I discovered that Solrock's Explosion is really freakin awesome. His Salamence scared me so I blew it up, and then my strong Psychics just defeated the rest of his team. No need for Ice moves.

Steven:
Skarmory fell in one hit to Alakazam's Shock Wave.
Aggron died in one hit from Starmie's surf.
Cradily and Armaldo both died to a Hi Jump Kick.
Claydol died to a couple surfs.
Metagross...screw this thing. Used at least 20 revives. He got like +4 attack from Meteor Mash which never missed. I had to stall him out until he used Hyper Beam so I could bring in Gardevoir to Hypnosis him and use Starmie's surf a few times for the win.


CHAMP


Fifteen hours? I'm a beast.

- Hudini - lv.56

Wasnt planning on finishing this today but this is the FINAL UPDATE and there is so many evolutions and non improtant pictures that im gonna narrow it down
Beat Wiona one of the hardest gyms for me alot of revives used
The twins i forgot to take a picture of but it wasnt all that bad
Easy Gym i had advantage

Went to the elite 4 after rebattling alot of people

Elite 4 member 1: Very easy match for Breloom used sky uppercut
Elite 4 member 2: didnt have and advantage had to improvise with ludicolo
Elite 4 member 3: Very easy with breloom and Sceptile Leafblade and sky uppercut
Elite 4 member 4: Easy with Ludicolo cause i taught it Ice Beam
Champion Wallace: Gave me alot of trouble we were the same levels and his Tentacruel and Milotic where taking out alot of pokemon from me alot of revives used and trial and error

Made some more progress today.

-Finished backtracking and fighting trainers, Dracula grew to lv16. I also went through all the areas that required Cut and grabbed some items.
-Went back to Dewford, entered Granite Cave.
-Caught an Abra, nicknamed Lightbulb. Was going to use it as a Flash slave for the duration of the cave, but I forgot that I couldn't use Flash yet.
-By the time I left the cave, Dracula had grown another level.
-Got the Old Rod in Dewford and caught Jelly the Tentacool at lv5.
-Did some grinding in Granite cave, Jelly grew to lv8.
-Went to the gym, fought trainers. Jelly grew to lv10 and Dracula to lv18.
-Fought Brawly, the gym leader. It was fairly tough, but I've had worse against him.
--The Machop was tough to take down because of Seismic Toss, and the fact that Brawly used two Super Potions on it.
--I had to swap out to Jelly once so I could revive and heal Dracula. Needless to say, Jelly went down fairly quick.
--Makuhita couldn't land many damaging hits, I ended the battle with about half of Dracula's health left.
--I really had to rely on Supersonic and lucky flinches this battle since neither of my battling Pokemon can deal much damage. I think luck played a large part in me winning.
--Oh, and Dracula grew another level.

Thoughts after this section:
-The type I chose is proving to be difficult. Both of my Pokemon are rather weak at the moment and have moves that don't do much damage. Dracula learned Bite recently, but of course, being a dark-type move, it wasn't useful in Brawly's gym. I do enjoy a good challenge, however, so this is fun. And I'm using Pokemon that I'd rarely to never use under normal circumstances.
-Zigzagoon's Pickup is proving to be one of the most useful things ever. I'm getting all sorts of great items like PP Up and Rare Candies that are normally very hard to find.

That's all for now.

Current Team:

Dracula/Zubat
---Level 19
--Moves:
-Leech Life
-Supersonic
-Astonish
-Bite

Jelly/Tentacool
---Level 10
--Moves:
-Poison Sting
-Supersonic
-None
-None

Surfboard/Mudkip (Future HM Slave)

Zigzagoon "Pickup Slave" x2 (No nicknames)
