Just going back through my old games, transferring all my old team members and event Pokémon into my Diamond storage save. There's teams from 2011 in there, but these are the ones I most recently actually played
Emerald:
- Blaziken (Amo) lv.67 - EV-trained
- Salamence (Sala) lv.67 - EV-trained
- Milotic (Karo) lv.67 - EV-trained
- Shroomish (Kino) lv.47
- Absol (Sol) lv.53
- Pelipper (Nigel) lv.55
- Gardevoir (Simi) lv.55
- Wynaut (Sohnan) lv.41
- Clamperl (Lulu) lv.50
Because I don't get to play the games as often now (this save is from summer 2017 when I played a lot), I'm likely to train more than 6 team members so I get to enjoy them more. I seem to have gone really all-out on this save as all of those Pokémon have great natures for their skillsets and very considered moves. I remember spending hours actually capturing a Feebas for the first time ever, then breeding about 30 of them until I got one with a good nature, then spending ages making enough Pokéblocks to max out its beauty stat. Most of the nicknames there are from the anglicised versions of the Japanese names from the species, with the exception of the Pelipper who is named after the Nigel Rush-voiced Pelican in
Finding Nemo. I know for a fact that the reason I never evolved Shroomish or Clamperl was due to my plans to make them stronger once transferred into future generations - Shroomish to Gen IV (I can't remember why but there must have been a move it couldn't get in Gen III) and Clamperl to Gen V where it could learn Shell Smash and become a Gorebyss.
I went particularly all-in on my last two Emerald saves as I'd had to pay to get a new internal battery - in the previous save I'd EV-trained my Swampert, Metagross and Latios, the latter two obviously unavailable until after the Elite Four.
HeartGold:
- Dragonite lv.80 (Extremespeed)
- Arcanine lv.80
- Slowking lv.80
- Espeon lv.80
- Kingdra lv.80
- Ursaring lv.80 (I traded this one across as an egg and hatched it in Cherrygrove City)
- Meganium lv.52
In this save I was at first a bit confused as to why I couldn't find my Meganium. Then I looked, he was in the Day Care. I'd dropped him once I got the Dragonite.
Platinum:
- Torterra (Crash) lv. 75
- Buizel (Buoy) lv. 74
- Glaceon (Glacia) lv.72
- Rotom (Motor) lv. 71
- Flareon lv.75
- Munchlax (Huell) lv.70
I kept Buizel and Munchlax un-evolved due to really liking their designs, and in the case of Munchlax having previously used his evolved form quite often in LeafGreen. Fielding the former in particular became quite risky as if an opponent got a good enough hit in he was still vulnerable, which is rare when you get that far into the game. This appears to have been a Rain Dance team - both Buizel and Rotom have the move, even though I couldn't get the different formes of Rotom. Munchlax has Curse too, suggesting I was quite patient with this save (and yes, his nickname is because I finally finished Breaking Bad in 2017).
