    I didn't have any Dusk balls with me. I don't remember where to buy them except for the E4 Hall xD

    Anyway.. My team has just defeated Lance and the E4. It was not difficutl, but I had to use some medicine though. My pokemon weren't that well trained as I thought.. -_- Sneasel, Croconaw and Espeon were even knocked out. They are a bit underleveled (Lv 41-46). But we still won, that's what counts.


    I thank Croconaw and Sneasel for their ice moves, Ampharos and Espeon for their supportive moves like Thunder Wave and Light Screen, Houndoom and Crobat for standing guard when I was healing others.


    I am now the new Champion <3

    NO I'M THE NEW CHAMPION

    You can get them outside the Safari zone (and Battle Frontier). I stocked up because they're that great.

    Anyway, might as well make a slight update. While I haven't left Johto yet, I've increased my number of obtained Pokemon in the dex to 113 after spending some time fishing and headbutting trees :)

    Forget it!! I'm challenging the E4 once again just now >D

    So yeah. Like I said I'm challenging the E4 again because my pokemon are a bit underleveled for the Kanto gym leaders. Even though I already have 2 Kanto gym badges.. But hey, I still want my pokemon to be more challenging.

    By the way I never thought that not fully evolved pokemon could be as strong as fully evolved ones. And I'm not planning to evolve Croconaw and Sneasel. They are powerful enough because they are EV trained anyway..

    after being absent from the net for a whole week, ive ratcheted up quite a few things this week. I learned that you can have some national dex pokemon BEFORE getting the national dex, thanks to the winner's path event. i also learned that all the WiFi spots in my neighbourhood SUCK, as i tried, and failed to get the Jirachi event. oh well, i still have some other events i can trade with to get it. at least now i can listen to the soothing sounds of 8 bit nostalgia! Ahh....

    Beat E4 for about 100500 times and now I think we're ready for the rest of the Kanto gyms.
    When it comes to battling Red.. I guess we'll have to continue grinding, since my pokemon are only around Lv60.

    Also I have to search for nice EV-training places in Johto/Kanto. Got sick of travelling to Sinnoh every time we need that special training.

    Defeated Morty, obtained Lapras from Union Cave (I changed the clock so I could get it), I also managed to encounter Entei while training Lapras on Route 38 (traded 2 masterballs across from Platinum) so I used a master ball to capture it, I obtained a Pikachu and a Claydol from the GTS (Claydol is German too), and Pikachu knows Volt Tackle which was unexpected, the Claydol is a bit overlevelled but will soon match the rest of my team, I also ran into Raikou on the way back to New Bark Town which I caught with the second master ball, I showed the Togepi to Prof. Elm and received an Everstone, I'm now in the process of levelling up Togepi until it evolves into Togepi (Should be quick as I've done loads of stuff to make it happy), once Togepi evolves I'll carry on training Lapras and head over to the Lighthouse in Olivine.

    My team;

    Quilava Lv32
    Lapras Lv28
    Heracross Lv32
    Honchkrow Lv32 (traded a dusk stone from platinum)
    Pikachu Lv33
    Claydol Lv37 (has the name "Lepumentas")

    Croconaw just found the fifth and last Shiny leaf near Fushia City. Sometimes it became angry at me for bugging it too much >>.

    We've been exploring every route in Kanto, not just plainfully challenging the gym leaders. Got 4 Kanto badges so far.

    Defeated Clair, passed the Dragon's den test and obtained the master ball from Professor Elm, arrived in Ecruteak City to battle the Kimono Girls so I stopped off at the pokemon centre to heal my pokemon, while there I found out my pokemon have Pokerus, I wasn't expecting that, will come in handy If I decide to ev train though, after defeating the Kimono Girls I headed round Johto battling trainers who called asking for a rematch, I even got a Thunderstone off one of them, I'm now going to go check the lighthouse as I believe that's where the last trainer is, after that I'll be heading across to the pokemon League.

    My Team:

    Typhlosion Lv41
    Lapras Lv42
    Raichu Lv41
    Claydol Lv41
    Heracross Lv42
    Honchkrow Lv41

    Just defeated the Elite 4 on my first attempt, the difficulty of each member are as follows

    Will 1/10 - Very easy, all but for his final Xatu where OHKOs, I used a different pokemon for this one

    Koga 2/10 - Still fairly easy but his Muk using minimize caused me to miss once or twice, also his Crobat took two hits as it used Double team twice

    Bruno 4/10 - Moderately easy, his Hitmonchan kept using Ice Punch on Claydol and then Thunder punch on Honchkrow, Machamp took two hits from Claydol's Psychic

    Karen 5.5/10 - A little bit harder than Bruno, Umbreon took two hits of Close Combat, Vileplume was a OHKO, Houndoom actually knocked Lapras out but once revived it took a two hit KO from Surf, Murkrow was a very easy OHKO from Raichu's Thunderbolt, and finally Gengar took 2-3 hits from Honchkrow's Dark Pulse, although I made the mistake of knocking out Gengar on the same turn it used Destiny Bond.

    Lance 7/10 - This was a fairly hard battle, not as hard as previous attempts, the 3 Dragonites where the hardest to knockout (the level 50 one was the hardest), Charizard and Aerodactyl were both 2HKOs.

    My Team;

    Typhlosion Lv45
    Lapras Lv46
    Raichu Lv47
    Claydol Lv45
    Heracross Lv44
    Honchkrow Lv43

    Just encountered and beat Silver at Mt.Moon..

    I'm feeling sorry for the poor guy >> I can see that he's trying hard and his pokemon are powerful.. But mine just don't let them even land an attack.

    Maybe I should lose to him and he'll go out with me? xD

    lol @ above post.


    Just defeated Lance, admittedly with a little help from my Shiny Sneasel traded over from Diamond.....but the poor guy's been through Johto once before, but never got to meet the Champion, so it was only fair....

    ...Kingdra never actually defeated anything with its' STAB Twister. Adamant nature isn't kind to it.....neither is its' obviously poor speed IV. However, it did laugh in Ho-oh's face while 2HKOing it with Waterfall, so that was something! It also defeated the Kimono Girls single-handedly, apart from Umbreon, who nearly defeated Feraligatr, a trick Espeon managed..

    Current team:

    Feraligatr lv.47
    Kingdra lv.44
    Arcanine lv.43
    Slowking lv.41
    Hitmontop lv.25 (Daycare|Fighting Dojo Master's Tyrogue)
    Dratini lv.27 (Daycare|Extremespeed Dratini)

    Also obtained Morty and Chuck's contact details, either doing a trade, or heading over to Kanto next.

    Got 6 Kanto badges so far. We're not in a hurry, so yeah.

    Currently in Red's hometown, sigh.. When will I get to see him? Same goes for Blue, that guy is missing from where he must always be! The gym!! Oh well.
    Probably on a date. I mean, as sexy as he is.. it's no wonder 0_0.

    My only option now is to travel to Cinnabar.. But I heard some girl talking on the phone, saying that Blaine, the gym leader is missing. What the hell is this, a new gym leader trend? I swear I'll find those guys >>.


    My pokemon are becomming pretty impatient lately. We haven't had a good battle since.. I dunno? Ah yeah, since me and Silver battled Lance and Clair at the Den.. Man, we actually lost. Succeeded at our second attempt though.

    2Hatsuharu.

    Well my favorite starter is Totodile. It becomes pretty useful later on, especially against Clair and Lance once it learns Ice Fang ^^

    And if you want a fire pokemon on your team you can always catch Vulpix/Growlithe or get yourself some other fire type from a trade.

    Just choose your favorite starter and nevermind others!
