My latest happenings are summarised in my signature, but I only have room for one dinky little line per game there. So...
Diamond
-I got my second badge! The battle wasn't too bad, as I came prepared with a team of Flying and Psychic and Fire-type Pokemon. The battle was almost a month ago, though, so I don't remember much of it...
-Of course, after that I beat Team Galactic in Eterna City, then headed to Hearthome City. Along the way, I caught a Psyduck and a Bronzor.
-In Hearthome, I received an egg, which hatched into Happiny of course. Then I spent time evolving her to Chansey and Blissey.
-I made it to Solaceon Town and started collecting Unown. So far I have N, E, I, and F--that's the order I caught them in. That's FINE with me...
-Occasionally I dropped by the house next to the Pokemon centre in Solaceon--about 80% of the time I already had the Pokemon they asked for. (Of course, I was out of luck when they asked for Monferno and Skuntank, because I'm not interested in Stunky and I picked Turtwig as a starter. Then they asked for Chansey AFTER my own Chansey evolved...)
-Then I grew berries for a while... nothing special...
-I also spent some of my Heart Scales at the Move Tutor in Solaceon Town. I taught my Vespiquen Confuse Ray and Fury Cutter, and my Pikachu Thundershock.
-I bought a TM25 at the Department Store, and taught Thunder to my Blissey. Well, she needed a special attack that has an added effect...
-I started exploring more, and now can pretty easily access Pastoria and Veilstone City. However, I'll get my Pokemon to level 25 before facing Wake.

^^In no particular order--just the order they happened to be in in my PC.
Pearl
-I levelled up my Happiny till she evolved into Chansey.
-I received an Exp. Share from the lottery. Thank you Kazza! (that's the Abra I got from an in-game trade)
-I took my Drifloon to Amity Square several times. The only thing she picked up were a bunch of Black Beards and Fluff...
-I wasn't as successful at bringing the right Pokemon to the news station in Solaceon Town as in Diamond, because I didn't have as many Pokemon. One time, I had to go all the way to Eterna Forest to catch a Buneary, and then I had to breed my Vespiquen with my Kricketune in order to get a baby Combee to show them. But oh well, now I have a worker bee :) (And I nicknamed him Drone.)
-I went to Pastoria and Veilstone City.
-I received a Lum Berry from the Berry Master! Yay!
-I started collecting Unown--so far I have Q, A, L, and V. I also put together a team of Pokemon designed to determine which type an Unown's Hidden Power was. The team is Bronzor, Drifloon, Bibarel, Roselia, Luxio, and someone who can cause a status problem. Then, when I catch them, I name them after their letter and their Hidden Power type. For example, my Q Unown is Queen Bee (HP Bug), and my V Unown is Vision (HP Psychic).
-I went to the Valor Lakefront and battled some trainers there.
-Now, my best Pokemon are all level 26, except my Drifloon is level 27. (So in one level, she'll evolve!) My best Pokemon team is in my signature, which I need to update because my Combee became a Vespiquen a long time ago...
