@Raichao, what's the theme?

I restarted Diamond today. Started, named Jenny, did all the stuff. Went to the lake, got the Pokedex, and got Pokeballs from Lucas. Caught a Starly and Bidoof to trade to Pearl for some eggs. Hatched them, trained to lvl 5 on Route 201. Got to Jubilife, been playing about an hour;

lvl 8 Naïve - Flamethrower/Outrage/Dragon Dance/Dragon Rage
lvl 8 Adamant - Waterfall/Ice Ball/Curse/Mud Slap.

I'll update after I beat Roark. Feel free to PM me with nicknames for them, they are both male.

EDIT;

I passed through Jubilife, went north beating those trainers. Went to Orebourgh, got both to lvl 13 after beating all the trainers. Went to the Mine, Charmander getting to lvl 15. Met Roark in the Mine, went to the Gym, and Mudkip solo'd the trainers and Roark with Waterfall. After I got the badge, I went to the recently blocked off part of Orebourgh Gate. Got all the items, and helped Lucas in Jubilife. Beat the trainers, both evolved, got to Floaroma town, and beat the TG Grunts at the Valley Windworks. Healed, and went to Eterna Forest, beating all the trainers with Marshtomp. Got to Eterna City with Marshtomp at lvl 22 and Charmeleon at lvl 20. Charmeleon beat all the Gym trainers, reached lvl 22 before challenging Gardenia. OHKO'd all of them with Flamethrower, Charmeleon jumped to lvl 23.

lvl 23 Naïve - Flamethrower/Outrage/Dragon Dance/Dragon Rage
lvl 22 Adamant - Waterfall/Ice Ball/Curse/Mud Shot

Been playing about 2 and a half hours.

[Ryuusei]

Restarted Pearl, going for a Normal Type Monotype.

Getting really bored of it fast though. Captured Starly, named him Taka, trained him up to Level 15 and now in Oreburgh, fighting some Machops to gain some attack EVs so I can take on Roark.

[Raichao]

Taking small break from my current Theme Team. Realised that Luxray is based off a lion, therefore not a canine. EPIC FAIL (for me)

Redesigned team to include both Canines and Felines.
Planned Team-
Luxray (Saturn)
Houndoom (Mars)
Mightyena (Pluto)
Delcatty (Venus)
Leafeon (Earth)
Glaceon (Neptune)

I just need to hatch my two Eevee eggs and then breed a Skitty before I can start training.

[The King of Ho-oh's]

I was playing in the battle tower with one of my Sunny Day Teams (Nidoqueen, Ninetales, Venusaur) yesterday. I think it was around match 15 and the guy's first Poke is a Torkoal, I think "Just great for setting up on!". My lead is a shiny nidoqueen and here is how the battle went:

Nidoqueen uses Sunny Day
Torkoal uses Ember deals around 12%
Nidoqueen uses Stealth Rock
Torkoal uses Ember deals around 12%

Luke switches Nidoqueen with Ninetails
Torkoal uses ember, it activates Ninetales' Flash Fire
Ninetales uses Nasty Plot
Torkoal uses smokescreen
Ninetales uses Flamethrower deals 100%

(Blank) sends out hitmontop
Ninetales uses Flamethrower deals 100%

(Blank) sends out Solrock
Ninetales uses Flamethrower deals 100%


50% from sunny day + STAB + Nasty Plot + charcoal + Flashfire= Pwntales

[foxyman1167]

Being cleaning my 2 1/2 year old Pearl file out comepletely so I can sell it and my Diamond for a new Platinum. Been doing it about half the day, and have to go through another 100+ pokemon, and have 3 1/2 boxes filled up to trade to my current Platinum.

[Draknir]

I got bored and traded out my Shining Prinplup, and then restarted. This time I thought I'd make it a bit more challenging. I decided to only use Pokemon found before the first badge. I started with Piplup, as I didn't want to use Bibarel or Gyarados, and nicknamed it Emperor. The first Pokemon I caught was a Starly, which I named Raptor. After a bit of searching, I finally managed to find a Male Shinx with Intimidate. Caught it and named it Flash. I, before heading to the Trainer's school, went to catch a Budew. Managed to catch a male one with Poison Point. As I hit okay after naming it, I realized I'd accidently misspelled the name as "Toxen" instead of "Toxin". As soon as I got to Eterna, I'm going to rename it with the correct spelling. Upon beating my rival, I went into the grass of Route 203 to find a male Abra. When I found it, I chucked a pokeball at it, and suprisingly caught it without any effort. I nicknamed it Psy while thinking to myself how it would be awesome if it was holding a Twistedspoon, and lo and behold, it was holding one. Once I made it to Oreburgh, I immediately went to Route 207 and caught myself a male Machop, which I nicknamed Champ. I got everybody to Lv.14, causing Raptor to evolve, and beat Roark. As I was heading back to Jubilife, I was forced to battle a trainer that I for some reason hadn't beaten yet. Emperor evolve after this battle. I beat the two Galactic Grunts in Jubilife, and made my wait to Floaroma Town. Upon beating the Grunt in front of the Valley Windworks, Flash evolved. I'm now going to do some more training before battling the grunts in the Meadow.

Current Team:
Emperor(Prinplup)-Lv.16
Raptor(Staravia)-Lv.16
Flash(Luxio)-Lv.15
Psy(Abra)-Lv.14 W/Twistedspoon
Champ(Machop)-Lv.14

[Ryuusei]

So like...

I decided screw normals, hello flying. Caught a Combee and Drifloon after using Staravia to solo everything.

Now getting ready to enter Eterna Forest. Gonna train Combee up into a Vespiquen there. Probably gonna add Beautifly as the team's final member and I'm set to stomp with a weird team! yay.

[foxyman1167]

Have gone through everything on my Pearl, and have to trade 95 pokemon and about 200 items, including various TMs, shards, Masterballs, and berries.

[rocko]

Now to fight Roark.

Bruce's Pokémon Diamond Adventure
Twinleaf Town towards Jublife City

Named my player: "Bruce"
Named my rival: "Barry"

Saw the 'Red Gyarados' on the TV.
Mom told me that Barry came looking for me and that I shouldn't go into the tall grass without any pokémon..
Rushed over towards Barry's place.
We went together towards Lake Verity.

Saw Prof. Rowan & Dawn there and they went towards Sandgem Town without the briefcase.

So Barry & I, looked in the Briefcase of Prof. Rowan and I chose my first pokémon..........
Chimchar

Won my first battle against a level 2 Starly.
While Barry chose a Piplup and he won his battle.

Prof. Rowan let us keep the pokémon we used earlier, so I got my first pokemon!
Chimchar

Went to my mom's, did a little bit of resting at home, also got my Running Shoes.
Went the next day towards Sandgem Town, while heading towards Sandgem Town, I did a little bit of training with my Chimchar.
Leveled Chimchar up towards level 6.
Arrived at Sandgem Town, got greeted by Dawn and we went towards Prof. Rowan's Lab.
Prof. Rowan gave me my Chimchar and I nicknamed him "The2Bizzle", he also gave me my Pokédex.
Dawn told me she had a Turtwig, she also showed me around the town.

Went back towards my mom, to let her know I was going away on a long adventure and told her that she shouldn't stay up tonight.
Barry's mom gave me a parcel to deliver to Barry.

Went from Twinleaf Town towards Sandgem Town, did some training in between. (Still 'The2Bizzle' is at level 6).
Once I arrived at Sandgem Town, I went towards the Pokemon Center to heal my 'The2Bizzle' and I continued my journey towards Jublife City.

Came to route 202, Dawn teached me how to catch a pokemon and gave me 5 pokeballs.

Tomorrow an update.. on the progress.

[Zero Nexus]

I've never done any EV training in my life, but after hearing how helpful it is, i intend to start.

I decided to start by EV training a Trapinch, but i don't have one, however i've seen one... somewhere... so i grabbed one of the many starters i breed just so i can put them on the GTS - a Treecko i nicknamed Arumat - and put it on the GTS.

Now, i wait...

Once i get a Trapinch off the GTS, i'm gonna breed it to get one with a naughty nature - again, i never usually care about that, but i think i should start - and then i'm gonna give it the Experience Share and battle until it's about level 30, then i'll start EV training it properly.

[Prince Amrod]

itll gain ev's from the exp share. if you want to ev train it properly then start from lv1 nd use another pokemon to do the actual battling. either have the trapinch as the lead nd switch it out or use the exp share, either way it will gain the same amount of ev's unless u use power items, pokerus or the macho brace

[FlowerMeganium]

I just started my adventure on the 11th, and I've been training in between college and such, so here's my team so far:

Shinx (Nala) Lv. 12
Turtwig (Sammy) Lv. 11

I love these little guys. :] I'm going to capture a Machop soon, then take on Oreburgh Gym.

[Wizard of 'Cos]

Ive recently been doing sum chaning for Buizel ('cos he looks so cool in yellow) but they keep breaking around 14-18ish well when i get him im going to train him up and use him in the battle tower.

[Trillian]

Finally defeated the Elite Four (and Cynthia) on Pearl with:

Flame (Growlithe) lv.71
Gary (Garchomp) lv.71
Magnus (Magnezone) lv.71
Celia (Walrein) lv.71
Loom (Breloom - shiny) lv.71
Yorun (Noctowl) lv.71

Only took 103 hours and over a year of on-and-off playing... Needless to say, though, I breezed through the Elite challenge, and now my pokémon are level 72. I took them to the battle area and now am going through the unlocked part of Victory Road. I'm thinking of raising more pokémon teams to fill up the dex, but I have enough to keep me very much occupied until HG/SS come out!

[Chimecho3000]

Went Lucky Egg hunting, got 6 of them. They're all going to my Platinum.

[FlowerMeganium]

I've finally made it to Floaroma Town. It's so beautiful there, I really like it. So, I went off to the Valley Windworks and captured a Buizel. So now, here's my team:

Sammy: Level 16
Nala: Level 16
Apollo: Level 16
Zale: Level 7

I'm going to go train Zale for a while, then take on those Galactic Grunts near the Floaroma Meadow, And hopefully within the next few days I can find myself in Eterna City. :]

[Kaasuti]
