Nothing much happened.I defeated Cheren with no difficulty.Dream's Main strategy(Yawn+Nightmare) was shut by his Unfezant's Taunt.It did little damage with Charge Beam but took a lot of damage from Air Slash.The effects of Taunt wore off and Dream used Yawn.It again used Taunt which meant Nightmare couldn't be used while it sleeps.Charge Beam did some damage and raised Sp.Attack.Another Charge Beam did damage and again Sp.Attack rose but Unfezant woke up.It's Air Slash missed and Dream finished it off with another Charge Beam raising its Sp.Attack.But sadly,Liepard defeated it with Fake Out and Assurance combo.It was then OHKOed by Fiery Pig.Fiery Pig did massive damage to his Dewott with Hammer Arm but he also did the same with Super Effective Water Pulse.Fiery Pig was then defeated by Priority Aqua Jet.Sea Turtle defeated Dewott with one Smack Down and Simisear with one Scald.Alder came and gave me Surf.I evolved Dream to Musharna with a Moon Stone which I had received from Lenora way back in Pinwheel Forest because I wanted it to learn Psychic.I taught Surf to Sea Turtle and also caught an HM Slave Ducklett for Surf(As Sea Turtle will soon get Aqua Tail) and Fly.I decided to do some exploring with Surf and went to Mistralton cave.I got Rock Slide TM which I taught to Fiery Pig and Sea Turtle.I defeated Cobalion easily.On Route 6,I got Poison Jab TM which I taught to Cacti.I flew to Mistralton City and got Aerial Ace TM which I taught to Cacti.I then saved the game.

I found my Tynamo - Naive nature - and she's now a Eelektrik. After beating the sixth gym and making my way through the Twist Mountain, I went to the Dream World and unfortunately didn't find a Taillow. I'm probably gonna take a rest for a day until I can get Taillow and train it, else my Eelektrik and Pupitar will become far too overlevelled. I've still got a Sandshrew to get via Dream World as well before I want to take on the seventh gym. Audino will be abused just as it was for Tynamo!

Current team:
Eelektrik level 48
Pupitar level 48

Once again, continuing from the day before (I actually post what I did the previous day the day after it happens), I went northeast after getting the 6th gym badge to Twist Mountain. I ran into Cheren and had to battle him again. He was super easy, like every other rival battle. Then I acquired the HM surf, which is just what I needed. I taught Surf to Samurott and headed back south to Mistralton Cave so I could capture Axew. I accidentally KO'd the first Axew I ran into, so I just captured the next one. I slapped an Exp. Share onto him (or her?) and went back to Twist Mountain. I battled most of the trainers there with my other Pokemon but Axew was still gaining exp. due to the Exp. Share. I got out of Twist Mountain and immediately went to get the next gym badge. What a piece of cake that was. This game has the easiest gyms ever. My Darmanitan OHKO'd the entire gym, including the gym leader. After that, I had to go to Dragonspiral Tower. I trained Axew vs. the Plasma grunts there until Axew evolved into Fraxure. Now I stand in front of N and Reshiram, and all of the other Plasma guys.

My plan for today is to just level up Duosion so it evolves. I won't be able to play much today due to a crapload of college work I suddenly have.

Lvl 40 Samurott
Lvl 40 Darmanitan
Lvl 38 Fraxure
Lvl 37 Sawsbuck
Lvl 38 Duosion
Lvl 38 Vanillish

Started training against the trainers in the games today, these were just the usual ones, the Nimbasa trainers, Cheren, the trainers on the Royal Unova and the Triple/Rotational battlers. Got all members of both teams to level 60, the trainers gave less Exp. than I had expected, so I had to resort to wild Pokemon in the end as usual. I don't feel that my teams are strong enough to battle against Morimoto and Cyntha yet, but they will hopefully be before the end of the month. It will likely be going slowly from here, although I can add Bianca to the trainer list tomorrow and on Sunday. As for the team members moves, Mienshao learned Hi Jump Kick and Claydol learned Earth Power, making two more complete. Only two incomplete ones left now, and they will hopefully get done tomorrow.

[Nibbles4Ever]

I evolved my aipom yesterday and toally forgot that you need to do the pal park for my emerald version pokemon first >.> Now I have to wait 2 more days to get all of my pokemon I caught on my emerald to my white version >.<

[Winter02]

Continued with my training today, battled the same trainers as yesterday as well as Bianca. Got all members of both teams to level 65, Braviary learned Brave Bird at level 63 and Zweilous finally evolved into Hydreigon at level 64. That allowed it to learn Flamethrower and Surf, and it means that all members of both teams now are fully evolved and have their final movesets. The training did fortunately not slow down as much as I had expected, which is good as it probably means that I will get done with this project earlier than expected. I expect it to start going a bit slower tomorrow though.

[Mokepon22]

Got my hands on the Sinnoh starters, raised them to lv 70 thanks to Nimbasa Stadiums, Giant Chasm, Morimoto, The Riches, Cheren & Bianca ^_^

Also got the Choice Scarf for doing 30 trades

Now searching for a female Mismagius at the Abundant Shrine, found a male but it just didn't look right so I traded it away :|

[Pyrii]

I finished grinding my current team to lvl 28 and made my way through route 4 today, I beelined for Nimbasa city and faced N and did Bianca's cutscenes too. I then went back and cleared out Route 4 and went into the Desert and did the first floor of the ruins.

Now I'm back in Nimbasa city, tried a couple of musicals, getting the feel for them. I haven't won anything yet though and still need to face the gym leader.

I poked my head out on route 5 and route 16. got my riches from all those mushrooms from dream world so now I have a bit of spare cash.

I do need to take a quick trip to the desert to fill out my pokedex with maractus and the crab pokemon.

[Kabloosh]

Beat the elite 4 and N about a week ago.
Yesterday I leveled Zweilous to 64 and he evolved into Hydreigon. I must say. He is quite a beasty looking dragon.
Traded Lugia, Ho-oh, Mewtwo, Girantina, Dialga, and Palkia from HG to my Black game.
My ditto and venusaur produced a egg and waiting on it to hatch whenever I turn the game on. I'm mainly focused on playing HG at the moment.
Also picked up a Spheal from DW the other day.

[OJG]

Finally raised my Sandslash to parity. My whole team is now level 55 as I enter the Opelucid Gym: Tyranitar, Eelektross and Sandslash. Going to the Dream World again to try and find a Taillow as the fourth member of my team and then will be raising it to parity. If I can't then I'll just dominate the gym with Tyranitar's Ice Fang Also going to the Keldeo event tomorrow to complete my five member team.

[manniezmoll]

i've decided it's time to finish off my national dex, since B2/W2 is so close to release & the DW will be down for maintenance. i had to go thru my dex & write down everything i needed to have, then i had to dig thru my 3rd & 4th gen games to see what could be shifted over. decided to start with 5th gen pokes, as they would be the easiest to find & trade. needed 16 pokes to finish, mostly 2nd & 3rd evos. it was a little harder than i thought it would be, but after trading for a tynamo on the GTS & evolving it, searching for a gurdurr & a boldore on my Black file & trading them to my White, evolving the 2 fossil pokes, & doing the shelmet/karrablast trade, i finally finished my Unova dex last night.

today i'm gonna work on sinnoh pokes, need about 40 or so of those to finish off that portion of the dex. hopefully, it won't take very long since i have D&P & can shift from both, along with 3rd gen inserts with my old DS.

[rovert]

So I decided to quit my shiny badge quest in White due to it being an ugly thing I kept avoiding. I decided I would still start with Snivy however I am not going to use it since I only chose it to get Panpour early in the game. I caught a Lillipup and have been working on levelling it up. Today I will grab my Panpour and train my 2 Pokemon team to around level 15 or so to make the first gym fairly easy.

My planned team in in my signature and I will be changing it over to current team later on when I have more than 2 Pokemon on it xD

September 22-Day 1-Trio Badge

So that I'm ready for White 2, I'm doing the "Badge a Day Bash." My goal is to get one badge each day, including the events after beating a gym(for example, fighting Plasma in the Dreamyard after beting Cilan/Chili/Cress).

I started off as usual, chose my name(Josh), chose Oshawott, kicked my rivals' butts, got the Xtransceiver, Pokedex, and Town Map. Learned how to catch Pokemon, then had a tour of the Pokemon Center when I arrived in Accumula. Oshawott destroyed N, and we continued to Route 2. Oshawott and I battled all the trainers, with my temporary teammate Lillipup helping out. Made it to Striaton City and battled Cheren at the Trainer's School. After beating him I trained in the Dreamyard and received a Pansear. After many, MANY attempts and a lot of grinding, we beat Cilan. My Oshawott evolved after beating him. Then Fennel requested I retrieve some Dream Mist, so I went on over to the Dreamyard and taught Pansear HM01 Cut, which Fennel had give to us. I easily beat Plasma and received the C-Gear. After healing at the Pokemon Center, I saved the game.

[Winter02]

Continued with my training today as well... I battled the same trainers as yesterday and got four members of both teams to level 70, the remaining two from each team are still at level 65. As I expected, I will no longer be able to get an increase of five more levels for each Pokemon every day, which means that it will be slower from here on. But it still looks like I will make it in time, still got a long way to go but I also have plenty of time.

[TheSirPeras]

Last post I replaced Seismitoad for Gorebyss, well this time I replaced Gorebyss with Milotic XDD
Caught it at level 64, and then finally started the post game. I found the sage at Chargestone Cave, then went to the desert resort, where I found Prof Juniper and caught one of the Darmanitan, which was boxed. Saved after.

Team:

[Charmed]

I challenged the Driftveil City Gym on Black version. I defeated all the trainers inside the Gym after I took the lifts down into the mine part of the Gym, and I eventually defeated the last remaining Gym trainers there. I headed all the way down until I reached Clay's location, and then we began to battle. He sent out his Krokorok, and I used Simisage against it. I was able to win that match using type advantage alone, then I sent out my Lilligant when Clay sent out his Palpitoad. I had Lilligant use its Mega Drain attack, and I defeated that toad in one hit. Clay sent out his Excadrill last, and I used my Samurott against it. I had Samurott use Aqua Jet twice, and it finished Clay's Excadrill with that move. I won the battle. Clay handed over the Quake Badge, and I headed up to the surface again. I left the Driftveil City Gym, and I healed my Pokemon before moving on to Route 6 and Mistralton City.

[amittal12]

I went through the Routes 1,17 and 18 defeating all the trainers.I also defeated the lone trainer left on Route 3.In terms of movesets nothing has changed except that I used the Waterfall HM on Sea Turtle as its Attack is better than Sp.Attack and Cacti learned Petal Dance which I will use as it's main STAB.

Team:

Fiery Pig Lv.39 Male Timid (Heat Crash/Hammer Arm/Rock Slide/Assurance) Ability:Blaze Held Item:Expert Belt

[Winter02]

Today, I trained the four members of my two teams that I didn't get to train yesterday. I battled the trainers in the Nimbasa Stadiums, the Triple/Rotational battlers, Cheren and the four trainers on the Royal Unova. That got the four ones I trained to level 72, not as far as I had expected, but still acceptable. I'll continue tomorrow, might also give Cynthia and Morimoto a try to see how well I can handle them.

[Nibbles4Ever]

I'm so happy. I only have to transfer over pokemon from my emerald to my platinum one more time that I can do the mass migration to my white version. Man thats going to take awhile XP

[Giblie]

I obtained my Keldeo from Gamestop on my Black version. A Quirky nature which is neutral, so I'm glad.
I've trained some Pokemon a little more. My Hydreigon Renzou to lv. 82, my Cobalion to lv. 66, my Swoobat Kokoro to lv. 65, my Arcanine Sasuke to lv. 69, and my Chandalure to lv. 73.
I have also trained a Zoroark to lv. 72. And the Keldeo 3 levels just now.
I have also obtained some other Pokemon including Landorus with the help of my sister's Thunderus, the Porygon from Global Link, a DW Nidoran(M), a DW female Rhyhorn, a Turtwig and was evolved, a DW Poochyena evolved it, DW Whismur and evolved, as well as a Stunky which will be evolved. I had also evolved a Klink and some others.

On my White, I trained my team a few more levels. And a caught Cobalion on it.

well here i am 2 days later & still not done with the sinnoh portion of the dex...took me all day yesterday to find & catch 30 different pokemon on pearl that i need to evolve on White. had to use my old DS Phatty to use the 3rd gen inserts. i forgot to get an ariados last night, so i can breed for spinarak. somehow i forgot to trade one over before i restarted my Black file once...DUH...now i have to search for one...

i never realized how ridiculous some GTS trade are, everyone wants lvl 9 & under legends for some of the most common things...makes trying to use the GTS really difficult...

[Winter02]

Battled the Nimbasa trainers, Cheren, the Triple/Rotational battlers and the three trainers on the Royal Unova, just like yesterday (pretty much). After that, I decided to challenge Morimoto and Cynthia as well. Which proved to be a good decision as they were both pretty easy for both of my teams. On Black, I got four team members to level 75, the remaining two are at level 70 and 71. On White, I got two team members to level 75, one of the remaining four is at level 74, the other three at level 71. Tomorrow, I will try to get everything to level 75, perhaps a bit further if possible, although I find it unlikely.

[Charmed]

After I defeated Clay at the Driftveil City Gym, I had to heal my Pokemon. I battled Bianca as I headed out to Route 6, and then I ventured out again after buying some items at the Pokemon Center. I captured a Deerling in the tall grass, and then I met some trainers along the path and I battled against them. I reached the season institute as I went north, and I stopped by to talk to the scientists. I headed out once more, and I battled against some more trainers as I wandered around Route 6, and then I reached a rest house. I healed my Pokemon inside, and then I did some training in the double battle patches of grass outside. I healed my Pokemon again after grinding there for about 30 minutes, and then I arrived outside of Chargestone Cave. Clay arrived to help me remove a giant spiderweb that was blocking the entrance, and he gave me his Gym's TM before he left.

[amittal12]

I went through the remaining section of Wellspring Cave and battled some trainers and got some items.I then went to Twist Mountain and defeated all the trainers and reached Icirrus City.I saved.Then I resetted the DS Clock to Winter time and got all the winter exclusive items and battled the lone Winter exclusive trainer.I went to Icirrus city and saved.I changed the DS Clock to normal time and again saved.
