Yesterday,I played Platinum but forgot to post.I went through Mt.Coronet defeating countless Team Galactic grunts.I reached Spear Pillar and with Barry fought Mars and Jupiter.They were tough because I only had four team members with me(I needed 2 HM Slaves for the purpose).But I managed to defeated them.My rival was a good Punching bag as they kept hitting his Pokemon.Then Barry healed my team.Cyrus tried to control Dialga and Palkia with the Red Chain and Uxie,Mesprit and Azelf couldn't stop it.Then came Giratina and took Cyrus to Distortion World.That place is just terribly hard.Despite using Psypokes Walkthrough,I got lost.But I managed to find my way.I found Cyrus who challenged me to a battle.He easily defeated me because I had an underlevelled team of only four members.So,now I have to train my Pokemon some more and carefully chose which four to take there.

Restarting my Diamond version once more, I went with Chimchar as my starter this time. I decided to alter my team, though, this time making it all up as I went along. In the fight with the Starly, for example, I decided to use Starly on my team. As soon as I finished up at Sandgem town, I bought 5 Pokeballs and ran down to Route 201. A few encounters later, I had my Starly: level 3. Training Cojiro (Chimchar) and Raptor (Starly) each to level 6 (with a bit of fainting on Raptor's half), Wolfpaw- my trainer- continued past Sandgem Town onto the next route. After an ever-so-pointless tutorial as to how to catch Pokemon (*pointing to Raptor*), I carried on. By the time I finally reached Jubilife, both Cojiro and Raptor were level 8. Running to Jubilife, I went to the Pokemon Center, and then to the Trainer's School to fight the 2 Abras and get the TM for Hidden Power. I aced them both, and carried on up to get the Poketch (taking less time than in my last playthrough). Straight afterwards, I ignored the usual route to Oreburgh, and went straight up. I ignored the trainers and went into the grass for my next Pokemon- Budew. Finding and catching it easily, I trained my newest member of my team, Misao, to level 9, as well as Cojiro and Raptor. After, I went to fight my rival, Demoneb. Fighting Raptor against his own Starly, my level-9 bird took it out easily with Wing Attack. I then sent out Misao against his Piplup, and managed to take it down with two Absorbs.

Nothing much happened on the route to Oreburgh. Items collected, Pokemon trained, Abra considered to being caught and used, as Cojiro had recently learned Taunt, disabling its Teleport. However, I continued to the city, training my Pokemon to level 11. I continued downwards to the mines. Trained. Found Roark. Trained some more. I also caught an Onix, but promptly decided that Cranidos was better, so now Sarekno is an HM Slave. At last, at level 13, my Pokemon were ready to go. Moving Misao to the front of my party, I went forth to challenge the Gym. It was too simple- Misao absolutely swept the floor with my opponents with its Absorb and Mega Drain. I was even screaming out "Die!" constantly in my head. At Roark, it started at level 14- at the end, it hit level 16, making Misao the strongest member of my team.

I then carried on back to Jubilife, and defeated the Team Galactic agents easily with Cojiro, who evolved into Monferno after that fight. Carrying on upwards to the Route where I caught Misao, I went past the area where Rock Smash was required, and carried onto the Valley Windworks, and defeated the Team Galactic member outside and in the Meadow. I trained Cojiro and evolved Raptor, then quit.

Wolfpaw's team so far:
Cojiro, level 16
Raptor, level 14
Misao, level 16

Hello again everybody! Last time I posted here (2 months ago O.o) I had beaten Bertha from the E4... Well, today I decided to play again, and I battled Flint.
Gastrodon VS Houndoom - Poor Gastrodon, my water type lost

Ambipom VS Flareon - Overheat killed me
Drapion VS Flareon - Rock Slide all the way! Drapion leveled up to level 50.

Torterra VS Magmortar - Revived Drapion, RIP Torterra
Glalie VS Magmortar - Fully restored Drapion, RIP Glalie
Drapion VS Magmortar - A level 50 Drapion VS A level 57 Magmortar. Used my last Rock Slide on the monster, he used Flamethrower. Survived with 13 HP, but guess what? NO PP ON ROCK SLIDE :O Went for crunch... R[GNPFEAOFPNERFAIERFNIWEB **** YOU FLINT U AND UR STUPID FULL RESTORES. Well Crunch did alright damage and lowered that monster's defenses, but he beat me after reviving Froslass.
Froslass VS Magmortar - This is eitehr a one shot or death. Went for Attract... Magmortar failed his attack!! Revived Drapion, and Magmortar... didnt miss his attack again wtf so unlucky!
Drapion VS Magmortar - Well since I did lower his defenses... revived Froslass again O.o
Froslass VS Magmortar - Attract c'mon mate! Magmortar... O.O

Ambipom VS Rapidash - Used return, took half of his HP and he used... I have no idea actually wasn't paying attention, all I know is it didn't do any damage. Finished it off with Return.

As I was looking through my different games to check the pokemon I caught, I noticed that I had restarted my Diamond game, so I decided to start playing again. Decided to pick Piplup as my starter, and turns out I got a female, my first ever female starter

As I went forward, I caught a Starly to use as a future Fly poke, and a Shinx for my electric type until I get a Pikachu. Got to Jubilife City, collected the coupons for the Poketch, met Tyson (my rival) at the trainer school to give him his package, which landed me with a Town Map, then headed North to catch a Budew for my next team member, then headed towards Oreburgh City.

Went to the mine to get Roark to go back to his gym so I could challenge him. As I was there, I caught myself an Onix to add to my team, and decided to mix things up and add a Zubat to my team for the first time ever. Went in to the different houses to collect items, and then saved for the night before challenging Roark.

Current team:

Onix Lv 14
Starly Lv 13
Shinx Lv 13
Budew Lv 13
Zubat Lv 14
Piplup Lv 14

Today I picked up Platinum after more than a month.To have a chance of winning against Cyrus,I trained all my team to Lv.49 through Vs Seeker and Pokemon Centre Battles.In the training process,three of my Pokemon learned important moves for their movesets:Torterra learned Crunch,Houndoom learned Flamethrower and Staraptor learned Brave Bird.I also gave all my Pokemon held items in order to increase their efficiency.I bought a lot of Ultra Balls for the elusive Giratina.I went back to Distortion World and challenged Cyrus to a battle again and came up victorius.

-Crobat knocked out Staraptor with Air Slash.I sent out Luxray.
-Crobat used Confuse Ray to confuse Luxray but it was defeated by Luxray's Spark.

Cyrus couldn't believe that he lost and his plans will not be successful.Anyways,Cynthia told me to either catch or defeat Giratina.I saved before battling Giratina.It was difficult to catch.I had to Soft-reset 4 times in order to catch it.Finally,I caught it with an Ultra Ball,though it has a bad nature(Naive i.e. +Speed,-Sp.Defense).I exited out of the Distortion World and reached Sendoff Spring and Spring Path.I flew back to Sandgem Town and met Prof.Rowan who saw my Pokedex and told me to complete my badge quest.He also told that the Lake Guardians had returned to their respective lakes.I went through Route 222 and arrived in Sunyshore City.I explored Sunyshore City and met Flint of the Elite 4 and found Volkner at Vista Lighthouse.He returned to the gym.I went to the gym and defeated all the gym trainers.After healing I challenged Volkner to a battle and won.

Vs Volkner
-He started with Jolteon and I sent out Houndoom.
-Jolteon's Charge Beam did high damage and raised Jolteon's Sp.Attack while Houndoom's Flamethrower also did high damage.

-Electivire defeated Luxray with Giga Impact.I sent out Floatzel.
-Floatzel knocked out Electivire with Surf.

And I won my eighth and final badge,The Beacon Badge and also got TM Charge Beam but more than that I gave Volkner an interesting battle(and made him realise that he cannot match the Elite 4).I went outside and met Barry who told me to go to Pokemon League.Jasmine,the Olivine Gym Leader was there and she gave me HM Waterfall for me to traverse the harsh Victory Road.I flew to Canalave City and made Floatzel forget Surf to make way for Waterfall(as Floatzel's Attack is better than its Sp.Attack).I saved the game.

I restarted my platinum game and chose turtwig again, cos he's my fave. I've paced my way through the story and I've just reached solacean town. I currently have a level 35 torterra and three gym badges. I haven't decided on the other team mates yet.

[Arcos]

This was a while ago. I found a shiny graveler in my pearl game and i wanted to catch it but i had no pokeballs. -__-

[Nibbles4Ever]

Several things happened since yesterday. Pop Rocks was my first death so I had to catch another geodude which I named Rocky Road. I also caught a psyduck which I named Jello. Not using him. I beat Roark with no deaths which was cool. I only used Orzo my monferno and switched to Mayo my shinx to lower his cranido's attack. Now I'm in Floraroma town. I caught a shellos and named her Pudding but she died to something I forgot what. I caught another shellos and named her Custard. Now I'm getting my team to lv 17 except Rocky road before battling Mars. My team:

[Nibbles4Ever]

I beat Mars pretty easily with no deaths, got to the eterna forest and Rocky road fainted so I had to go back for Carnitas, my second zubat, beat all of the trainers, beat the fisher men, got to Eterna city, Carnitas fainted also so I went back to tacos, my first zubat, and I caught 3 meditites because 2 of them feinted.

Since I posted last time I lost several members, including Tacos who evolved into crobat DX I lost him in my horrible rival battle in Pastoria city, Salmon my staravia and Ketchup, my luxio lost in Hearthome I believe, and my ever fathful monferno, Orzo got murdered in that stupid double battle with a raichu and gyarados in between Solaceon and Celestic town. Since that happened I needed another pokemon to battle Wake so I decided to use my roselia, Spaghetti. He's been good so far. I also caught a pikachu in the trophy garden so I'm using her as well. I named her Toffee. Since Orzo passed I have to use a fire type so I'm currently raising up Jalapeno, my ponyta's levels. Also caught a lickytung and am using her. Current team:

Spaghetti the roselia lv 38
Pancakes the gliscor lv 38
Toffee the raichu lv 33
CheeseCkae the lickilicki lv 34
Sherbert the vaporeon lv 36
Jalapeno the ponyta lv 30

[Arlo]

Finishing up my Diamond - I had left it at eight badges but hadn't gone through Victory Road, so I did that the other day and fought Wally at the League entrance, and now I'm finalizing my team. I've been leveling and training a Skorupi - I've never managed to stick with one long enough to evolve a Drapion before, and I want to give one a try. Slow going. I spent a while last night running around Route 209 hunting for a Chansey with a Lucky Egg, but didn't find one, though I've now got six Oval Stones (six more than I'll ever need), and I got to do a fair bit of EV training with the Skorupi against Bibarels and Staravias. I'll probably do some more of that in a bit, but first - I've been flying around a route of honey trees and just caught a Heracross this morning. I saved in front of the tree, so had the chance to reset for a good one, but got tired of that after a couple of dozen and when I finally got a Jolly female, I kept it. She doesn't have much for stats, but she's Jolly and a female, so I'm breeding now, which I find much less tedious than catching in the wild. No telling how many eggs it'll take to get one I really want though, and it's a bit slow without an incubator (no Magma Armor or Flame Body in the fourth gen before the National Dex). Haven't got any good ones yet, but I've only hatched five eggs so far, so it could be a while. Then I can get back to hunting for a Lucky Egg and EV training Skorupi. And I've got a bunch of other things that need to be EV trained too.

[Nibbles4Ever]

So I lost several very good members since last time I posted. I lost Jalapeno my ponyta and Spaghetti my roselia DX They were so great but the most dissapointing one was loosing Pancakes, my gliscor against Byron's extremely stupid bastiodon. It was so enbarrasing D= It got Pancakes down to yellow hp and I almost killed it with dig but then it healed and killed him with metal burst,. I thought those things were really weak. So I decided to use Nachos, my tentacool and trained him up. I also caught a new zubat and ponyta since in my challenge I can catch one more pokemon on a route if a pokemon from that same route falls. I named the ponyta Praline and the zubat Cashew. Then I took out Mars and went north. I caught a snover and named him Slurpee. I was going to use him but he takes way to long to lv up. I got to Snowpoint and beat all of the trainers in the gym. In the process Nachos died to a stupid sneasel D= He was so great. So now I'm leveling up Dumpling, my quagsire that i caught in the great marsh. Current team:

Toffee the raichu lv 40
CheeseCake the lickilicky lv 40
Praline the rapidash lv 40
Cashew the crobat lv 40

Pshew. Finally hatched a good Heracross - Jolly, with something in the high 20s for HP and Atk, 31 for Spd and something at least in the mid-teens for both defenses. By that point, I was sick of Heracross, so I just parked it in my PC next to my level 1 Riolu that I'm going to get around to training and leveling sometime, and went back to EV training Skorupi (now Drapion) and hunting for a Lucky Egg. Just about done with the EV training and I still haven't gotten a Lucky Egg off of a Chansey, so since Drapion has 252 Atk now, I moved up to the high grass on Route 210, which is mostly Ponyta (1 Spd) instead of mostly Bibarel (2 Atk), since there are Chanseys there too (at the same rate - 5%). I've got about 30 more speeds to pick up and I'll be done, and will hopefully have gotten a Lucky Egg by then. If not though, I've got other pokemon who need Atk training, so I guess I can just keep going with one of them on 209, which really isn't that bad a training spot anyway.

Scared up another Heracross in a honey tree earlier, but I just fainted it, since I finally got the one I want. Spent a while on another tree catching a good female Combee. I evolved one Modest Vespiquen a while back, since they get Power Gem and Gust, so I figured Sp Atk was the way to go, but I found that it's underpowered that way and there's really nothing else to give it after that. It's not as if it's that powerful anyway, but I sort of like it, so when I saw a Combee in one of my trees, I decided to catch another one and build it as a staller/tank. I got a neutral (Bashful, IIRC) with nice, high, even stats, in part because I'm still not quite sure what its EV spread is going to be yet. I'm sort of tempted to teach it its signature set - Attack Order, Defend Order and Heal Order, plus something else sort of stally - probably Toxic. It's hardly a competitive set, but it seems like it would be workable, and it's not as if I'm going to use her competitively anyway.

And that's about that for now...
