Alright!
My current team is:
Elekid
Dewott
Boldore
Skarmory
Gardevoir
Shellgon

I've got two experience shares, i'm letting Skarmory and Shellgon hold onto those.
A lucky egg is being held by elekid, who's also the lead member.
Gardevoir is holding the Amulet Coin, and now we're rolling in dough.
Dewott has leftovers.
Boldore is currently without an item though.

We beat Burgh recently, took a couple of tries to actually bring him down!

And now we're in Nimbasa City, we already challenged the subway kings.
I am soooooo jealous of the Eelektross and Chaldelure they had, I soooo want those on my team.

I love the userbars!! I've been waiting for them to come! As you guys can see I have changed my team a little so I no longer have ditto. That was a hard decision to make.

Right now I will evolve my meowth into a Persian here really soon, I love cats! :P

I'm actually partial to Meowth over Persian because of the pickup ability, which it loses when it evolves.
Interesting preference! I like Limber much better because Persian can't get paralyzed(which comes from Meowth's pickup ability), which is important in my team since they have been developed to cause major status effects.

I'm glad you guys like our banners! I added them to the first post, and realized one has a white background, I'll have to update it later, hehe. I also remove the center tags from the code, so that it won't take that much from your signatures heights, you can update your signatures if that's the case :)

I never really cared that much about the money, I managed to rack in plenty just by battling Trainers, so I'd say Meowth would work well early in the game, and later it would be worth evolving her into Persian.

Welcome, hope you have a nice time here with us! What game(s) are you playing and how's your 'dex coming along?

[EDIT]
Almost forgot to update on my progress! I've been on vacation to the seaside so I've also been working on my Pokedex. Bred a couple of Pokemon and level trained a few to evolve them. I did the training at the sports domes in Nimbasa. Trainer battles give more EXP points, there are many fully evolved Pokemon and there's even a Chansey, for even more EXP!

It doesn't matter how old you are. If you like Pokemon - no matter how childish people say it is - and playing it makes you happy, go ahead and play it. Who cares what other people think.

Clay in driftveil city went down pretty easy as well, I've finally gotten a handle on how things are this time around - MUCH TOUGHER!

I also beat all the opponents at the World Tournament, but c'mon they were all at level 25, it was no contest really.
Oh, did you know they require you to enter 3 mon? I tried to go with just Gardevoir, but they refused!

Alright, up next is Skyla, I suspect I'll take her out pretty quickly as well!

I totally did not expect a triple battle from Skyla!

When I was CLOSE to winning my game glitched, and would not let me send out new pokemon! I had her down to the last three, and I had just revived my whole team.
She ko'd my first two, leaving the third.
For whatever reason I became unable to send out new pokemon!
So i'm resetting and gonna try again.

Welcome, Pokemoner2500, latias190 and Kanea! Hope you guys have fun here with us! I'm curious about what Pokemon you guys are level/EV training and how is it going ^_^

Oh tough luck, mucus, sounds like a glitch! So in Blaze Black (this is what you were playing, I think?), Gym Leaders have full parties and you can even have triple battles with them? Sounds a lot tougher, I wonder if training is more difficult too, as in, more grinding? Or is AI so much better that you'd need to go as far as EV training?

Skyla went crashing down!
Ohhhh yeah! Gigalith really lead the charge on this one with her unrelenting rock slides!

Current team
Gigalith
Gardevoir
Samurott
Torandus
Shellgon
Eelektross

Skyla has been the only triple gym leader battle so far, and I think there have only been a handful of triples in the whole thing actually.
Yeah, there's a lot more grinding involved, right now my numbers look to be about 5 hours of grind per gym.
I've ev trained my team, and it's still real tough so I'd say EV training is a must.

Welcome to the club, hope you enjoy it here! What game(s) are you currently playing and how is training your team going?

That sounds tough, looks like a good game if you want a challenge. Personally, I don't like grinding, but as weird as that may sound, I actually enjoy EV training. I guess that, since I'm going to battle the same Pokemon over and over again anyway, actually boosting my teammates' stats as opposed to just gaining EXP is actually a good enough reason to go for it. Poor Litwick at Celestial Tower, hehe.

I'm currently playing again my Pokemon Emerald and Pokemon Ruby and my pokemon are doing fine in their training but now I have to face Roxanne (because these are new save files) now I have to do more training.

Your Goals: EV Training a new competitive UU Team.
Welcome the the club, hope you enjoy it here! Good luck with your team, may we ask what Pokemon you're training and how's it going? Also, here is a great EV counter for you, you can set PKRS and any items you're using, and you can just hit a button to add your EVs, a real time saver, hehe. And if you're playing B/W or B2/W2, it also hints to some of the best EV training spots in Unova.

I'm currently playing again my Pokemon Emerald and Pokemon Ruby and my pokemon are doing fine in their training but now I have to face Roxanne (because these are new save files) now I have to do more training.
Good luck with your games! Are Emerald and Ruby very different though? I mean, are you able to make different teams and use different strategies, or do you end up duplicating some of your Pokemon?

Caught a litwick, she's replaced Gardevoir - and has already evolved into...whatever.
I need to find a covenant ore (blaze black item) in order to evolve it into Chandelure.

I changed my Eelektross's name to Shibirudon, because I am just so used to that name.
That's its Japanese name, right? I name my Clefable Pixi, and I sometimes draw inspiration from the original names, some are very creative and it's fun learning about the ideas behind the Pokemon. Also, there are also unique items in Blaze Black, I didn't know that. That ore thing seems to work like an evolutionary stone, are there also items that help with EXP gaining or effort values? Though since this hack is supposed to be really challenging, I kinda doubt it.

Well, lucky stone, exp share, etc items like this.
And yeah Shibirudon is the Japanese version of the name. I was part of the b/w translation team way back when, and I got used to that name... and it rolls off the tongue so much more easily imo.

Updates:
Tornadus is off the team.
Shellgon evolved into Salamence and learned fly.
Samurott became an HM slave.
Gigalith learned strength.
Chandelure has come into being.
Gardevoir (my prized 'mon) is back on the team.

Currently on route 13, just north of Udella town.
Cobalion is here... I'm going back at night to try and catch it with duskballs.
