just beaten Fantina, my team is as follows;

Monferno Lv29
Roselia Lv27
Staravia Lv28
Bronzor Lv21
 
After catching a Kriketot I finished leveling up my team to level 10.
Current team consists of:
Ember (Chimchar) lv.10
Starla (Starly) lv.10
Spark (Shinx) lv.10
Karimi (Kricketune) lv.10
Bera (Bidoof) lv.10

Still keeping promise of having an entirely female team. Though it can be annoying when catching Pokemon.

Finally left Sandgem Town for Jubilife City.

Had first Trainer battle on route. Easily beat up the single Starly with Ember and headed out again.

Encountered second trainer there after and wondered how many more trainers I would encounter on this route with a single Pokemon. Easily beat her again with Ember.

While traveling through a patch of grass Ember leveled up and switched her out with Starla so Starla could get some training now.

Another Pokemon trainer with a single Pokemon. Getting tired of it because A) Starla knocked out in one attack and B) its now basically money earning Wild Pokemon battles.

Picked up a Potion and then left Route 202 via the Jubilife City entrance.

Ran into Lucas and got my first glimpse of the Detective character new to Platinum. After a slightly rambling conversation finally get his name, or rather his code name, Looker. Continued to listen to him ramble about crime fighting and criminals. Obtained the Vs. Recorder listened to more of his ramblings before he ran off. Lucas showed me the Trainers' School building, more annoyed than anything (thought he was going to show me the GTS building from what he said earlier). He runs off and gives me the ability to move around.

Decide to stop by the Pokemon Center to rest up before quitting for the night.

Still working on swarms. I couldn't catch a Beldum. T_T Guess I'll import one from Emerald...

And then...I'm still spamming the Battleground for money, because I want to work on Villa decor. I got Gardenia to visit...whoot. >.< ROARK HAS VISITED ME 5 TIMES!! <3 And then Candice and Maylene came in at the same time before, it was pretty interesting. :3 Just bought a Tea Set.
 
Since the Darkrai event came out in North America today, my friend and I hung out at my grandparents. While we got our Darkrais, we saved in front of him for some good stats. He gets a Timid one right off the bat. I get Sassy. >_<

So pretty much all day, I've been SRing for a good Darkrai. I've yet to see Timid (that's what I'm goin' for), and I've seen a couple Modest. I didn't take 'em because their Special Attack didn't even beat a Quirky natured one at the same level. And the one good one had crap speed. -_-

So yeah. I've also been waiting for my Rowap berry to grow. >_>
 
i've just defeated Volkner and got my final badge

I just beat the game up until the elite four, and now i'm covering every square inch of the game up to that point again, to get hidden items, catch more pokemon, etc. My team is way over-leveled at this point (6 level 70's) because I usually train too much. I have Infernape, Vaporeon, Alakazam, Garchomp, Scizor, and Yanmega on my main team.
 
Im starting a new Game on Diamond after getting too Frustrated to Play on My Platinum.
I have just entered my new Town.
Protagonist's Name : Geki
Rivals Name : Sakio
I have gone with Strange but Cool names this Time.
Currently I have just fought of those annoying Pidgeys near the Lake with My amazing Lil' Buddha - Piplup - and just Bumped into the Prof.
Hopefully this adventure will be better than the Last !

Having only ever before breeded pokemon with a Ditto as a partner, i was mildly astounded when a male Eevee and a female Bibarrel didn't give me another Eevee. That is all :nervous:

Since my last post, I have beaten Roark and Gardenia.

I used mainly My Eevee to beat Roark's Onix and Geodude... then landed one hit on Cranidos. (Usng nothing but Shadow Ball) Then brung out my Staravia (he Evolved after a bit of traning around Jublife), and attacked it a bit with Wing attack, 2 hits then Staravia fanited, and brung out my Chimchar, Using 2 embers I finaly finished off Cranidos.

Grabbed a Bidoof for my Rock smashing. and headed to Floroma then into Eterna.
Between that, My Shinx and chimchar both Evolved, 2 times Eevee tried evolving into a Leafeon, but I cancelled the every time.

Beat Gardina, using my Monfeno and Staravia... and the Trainers before them I used mainly Eevee again.

(Heres where it get extreamly brief)

Got bicycle, Vs Seeker & Dowsing App, got to Hearthome & Beat Rival, After beating my Rival Eevee Tried evolving into an Espeon, Cancelled that. Traveled to Solaceon town hours later (I took a break from the game) And used a spare Rare Candy I remembered getting on Eevee and Evoled him into an Umbreon!
(Brief-ness end)

Now, with my newly Evolved Umbreon, I (after a bit of help from my brother) Understood that Umbreon was best as a wall for my team, I however, Loving Umbreon so much thought, Sod that, So Now I'm heading into Solaceon Ruins and train on the Unknown there, to gain Attack and Sp Attack EVs for Umbre'.

Current Team:

In party:

Umbreon ~ Virgil: Lvl 25

In computer:

Monferno ~ Blake: Lvl 20
Staravia: Lvl 20
Luxio ~ Ryuken: Lvl 20
