Finally convince my Bro to give me an Eevee Egg... Now to hatch it.

Still in Sandgem town... Cause I've been training...

Current team:
Chimchar (Blake) : Lvl 8
Starly: Lvl 3
Shinx (Ryuken) : Lvl 6
Eevee Egg

Hoping to raise them to Lvl 10 before I get out of Jublife city at least.
 
Wow, it's been a while!

Since my last post, I've defeated the Elite Four after some serious grinding and achieved the National Dex - now to fill it up!

I found that Lithium, my Lucario, was actually not helping my team very much, so I had a flick through the pokédex and did a few trades while I decided on a sixth team member, and Sodium the Salamence found her way onto my team. It took me a few hours to train her up so she was equal with the rest of my team, but it was worth it, and she's now my favourite pokémon to take chaining with her diverse moveset.

I also have EV trained 3 pokémon for the battle tower, and will finish that team when I find an attack-boosting power item. It consists of Bastiodon, Dunsparce and Kidoking, and made me very happy and accomplished when they were finished training, and they're being levelled up in my Diamond game now.

Now onto chaining. Well I decided I wanted my own shiny, and have chained Castform (a hell of a lot), Dunsparce, Spoink, Hondour, Doduo and Slakoth, and haven't got a single shiny to show for it. *sigh* Now I'm chaining Pinsir - I shan't hold my breath!

Team:-

Sodium, Salamence, Female, Rock Smash/Flamethrower/Zen Headbutt/Dragonbreath
Flameéd, Combusken, Female, Ember/Quick Attack/Peck/Focus Energy (@EXP Share for 'dex fills)
Propane, PorygonZ, Ice Beam/Psychic/Signal Beam/Thief
Carbon, Charizard, Male, Heat Wave/Fly/Defog/Cut
Lutetium, Leafeon, Male, Magical Leaf/Dig/Aerial Ace/Strength
Ethanol, Empoleon, Male, Surf/Waterfall/Rock Climb/Earthquake
 
I was shocked to find out that Fantina is the third gym in Platinum instead of the fifth like in Diamond. So I trained like crazy for a week until my selected team for the battle was kissing level 30 then I found almost the entire gym is in the low twenties...

That's a nearly two weeks of my life I ain't getting back.

Current Team:

Rosier(Kirlia) Lvl 29
Blank(Lopunny) Lvl 31
Grey(Eevee) Lvl 30
Quin(Quilava) Lvl31
Guppy(Togetic) Lvl31
Sitrus(Roselia) Lvl30

I never thought that a Togetic could be so useful then again I never spent enough time with a Togepi to evolve it...and The Lopunny turned into a speed demon (87 speed points!)

Just had my Gabite hit Level 48 and evolve into a Garchomp and it now has the highest Attack of any of my team, 152. Not moving out of Iron Island till all five of my Pokemon hit Level 50.

I like to overtrain a bit when taking on Gym Leaders so I am prepping for Byron even though I have an Infernape. ^_^
 
Got through Victory Road, just training my team as much as i can before i battle the elite 4, i'm also waiting for my wi-fi dongle to arrive before i challenge them (hopefully it will arrive tomorrow), my current team is as follows;

Empoleon Lv54
Rapidash Lv53
Electrivire Lv53
Gallade Lv54
Honchkrow Lv53
Abomasnow Lv53
 
lost to the elite 4 (wi-fi dongle still hasn't arrived), currently training with the vs seeker and at victory road, my team is as follows;

Empoleon Lv56
Rapidash Lv55
Electrivire Lv55
Gallade Lv54
Honchkrow Lv56
Abomasnow Lv54

i'm trying to raise them to about level 60-62 (or 58 if i battle the elite 4 repeatedly till i win)
 
I woke up. I figured out that my team lost the Pokerus, so I hopped in a time capsule to ten days ago and got them sick again. Is that cruel?
 
just beaten the elite 4 on my second try, cynthia's team gave me the most trouble, i struggled to knock out Garchomp (ended up with two pokemon left), Lucario gave me even more trouble, i used ice punch which froze it but his hp was in the red so Cynthia used a full restore and restored it to full health (grrr lol), i healed my Electrivire (knows ice punch) and used ice punch twice, this froze Lucario again so i used the opportunity to revive a few of my pokemon, during this reviving session hail took damage each turn from both me and Lucario (i had used Abomasnow on Garchomp), I healed Electrivire again and Lucario thawed out with very little hp, it used extremespeed and took away nearly half of my hp, the hail knocked Lucario out, Togekiss was sent out and i healed Electrivire again, i used Thunder Punch twice and knocked it out, Roserade was sent out which i easily knocked out with my Rapidash and Flare Blitz, anyway my team is as follows;

Empoleon Lv59
Rapidash Lv57
Electrivire Lv57
Gallade Lv56
Honchkrow L57
Abomasnow Lv56

I have also seen all 210 pokemon i need for the sinnoh dex (4 missing, 1 popped up in Cynthia's team)
 
I am planning to begin a restart, going through the game with but one Pokemon. I don't know which, though. I'll need to use my AR to start, though, since I have considered both Mightyena and Beedrill.
 
My friend made a fan event pokemon for me (Jolteon with Surf. In Cherish ball. 'A fateful encounter'.) The date the card was received was September 21, 2009 (my birthday) so after that, I'm going to be giving it out to my friends who play pokemon./ xD

Trained my Jolteon to level 80.
Bred tons of pokemons for trade.
Beat the elite four a couple more times (total so far: 24)
Tried to chain Sneasel but broke the chain at 19.
Tried to chain shinx but broke the chain at 10. twice.
 
Trained my new totodile to a feraligatr, which is now the toughest pokemon on my team.
Currently doing the 8th gym but its taking forever D:

Current Team
Croabt-lv49
Feraligatr-lv50
Umbreon-lv49
Giratina-lv48
Luxray-lv48
Gallade-lv48
 
I am currently at the battle zone, i am going to trade my pokemon across to diamond as soon as i find it and start a new game, this time picking turtwig or chimchar, i might use platinum to trade the other two starter pokemon across;

my team at the moment is;

Empoleon Lv62
Rapidash Lv61
Electrivire Lv60
Gallade Lv60
Honchkrow Lv60
Abomasnow Lv60

Started new game, just at the point where i pick a starter, i am going to choose between turtwig and chimchar as i had piplup on my other game.

Planning to catch a starly as early as i can
