^nice job...I haven't chained any shinies since my magnemite outbreak...like 2 months ago

[Scrible]

Well, I got in a stall war with a Blissey :x

My Arceus was holding an Amulet Coin cause I needed the munny and we were going NOWHERE -.-'

But nothing is as bad as the Wobbuffet vs Wobbuffet stall war that ensued a few days ago....

I SR'd to GTFO. It was awful :x

I finally restarted my Platinum earlier, and so far so good. I named myself Charlie, my rival Alex, and chose Turtwig. I caught random wild pokemon, and traded over the eggs. I hatched them, and trained them to lvl 5 on Route 201. Beat all the trainers on Route 202, and made it to Jubilife City. Just talked to my rival at the Pokemon School, and got the Poketch. Currently headed to Oreburgh City.

Charmander lvl 8
Totodile lvl 8
Turtwig lvl 8
Elekid lvl 9

Diamond
Bred Vespiquen with Scizor and got a male combee, which I traded to platinum.

Platinum
Bred the same Combee with Ditto and got 30 eggs in the process.
Out of 30 eggs, two were females.
I'm planning to trade the second female combee to SoulSilver.

Cool that I could inspire you !

Today I had a lucky day in the Game Corner. Sometimes you find coins, and I found many times 20 coins!
That's the highest amount of coins you can get by just looking.
I currently have 4010 coins. I need 10.000 coins, but I am again a little bit closer to my TM.

And I also trained a little today. Torterra is level 92, and Lapras is level 71.
Still training Togekiss. I'll train again later today.

[FlareonJupiter]

My entire team is at Level 100! Yay!

Crobat reached Level 100 after she defeated Aaron's Heracross with Fly, and Cloyster reached Level 100 after he defeated Bertha's Rhyperior with Water Pulse. You never forget moments like that...

So now that's done, and I'm going to wait patiently until Christmas Day -- that's when I can upload my team to Battle Revolution and see all of my hard work pay off!

Until then, I'll probably catch some more Pokemon, hatch some Eggs (need at least 11 to get the Masterpiece for my Villa, and I'll have that completed), and arrange some trades through Wi-Fi or GTS. Or, better yet -- I might be able to do some battles over Wi-Fi...

Today's playtime on Platinum has been all about Pikachu. Bored with devising movesets for my main ingame team for taking on the Elite 4 second wave, I decided to try and nab a Light Ball from a Pikachu in the Trophy Garden. I decided to start a chain for this so that I had a constant stream of Pikachu encounters in a row. With my Thief Kecleon on hand, I took a number of Oran Berries and defeated a few Pikachu that held no items at all. On my 22nd encounter of the chain however, I found a Light Ball. Surprised that i'd taken my chain this far, I decided to just go for the 40 and attempt to get a shiny.

It took about an hour or so of hard work, but on my 43rd patch I managed to reset until a shiny patch materialised. After a few failed Luxury Balls, I finally managed to capture the shiny Pikachu, and was fairly happy to find that it has a Jolly nature. I'm sure i'll be able to give it a nice non-competitive use on my team and i'll even attempt to see how it fares in the Battle Frontier at least.

I'm building a new Platinum team. It will have: Infernape/Gliscor/Scizor/Electivire/Vaporeon/?

I can't think of a final Pokemon. Any suggestions?

Just beat Mars at Valley Windoworks and I'm on the way to Eterna Forest. My team at the moment is:

Monferno lvl. 19

Elekid lvl. 18

Bidoof lvl. 3 (HM Slave)

[EeveeandKirliafan]

Platinum: I've been training my Pokemon, Empoleon is currently level 84 and Lucario is level 53. I'm also working on evolving some of my pokemon for pokedex purposes. I've already evolved my Azurill, she is now a male level 29 Azumarill. I'm also training my Shuppet now, she is currently level 28.

[foxyman1167]

I trained my team some more, beating the trainers on Route 204, and then on Route 203, and after they reached lvl 12, I went through Oreburgh Gate, and made it to Oreburgh City. Spoke to my rival, and healed up. I then went into the Oreburgh Mine, and got Roark to head back to the Gym. Beat the trainers in Oreburgh Mine, healed, and challenged Roark with Totodile. I swept him easily with Waterfall. Afterwards I healed, and saved.

Charmander lvl 15
Totodile lvl 17
Turtwig lvl 15
Elekid lvl 15

Just made it to Jubilife City, and Elekid beat both the TG Grunts.

After realizing that Dusknoir can't learn Pain Split, I traded mine to my friend and had him use the HGSS move tutor to teach it. And I also had him trade me an egg of an Aron with Head Smash. It was surprisingly shiny with a Lonely nature, like my last Aron, but better IVs.

Something new that I will do for each Platinum Post: Seen:417 Caught:321

[foxyman1167]

After beating Roark and the TG Grunts in Jubilife City, I went north towards Floaroma Town, and got there very quickly. Beat all the trainers along the way, and Charmander evolved outside in the double battle with the Pachirisu's. Healed up, and went to the Valley Windworks. Elekid beat Commander Mars and her annoyingly underleveled Purugly somehow, and afterwards I headed for the Floaroma Meadow. Turtwig beat both Grunts, and evolved afterwards. I healed up, and beat all the trainers along the route up to Eterna Forest, and Totodile evolved. Made it through Eterna Forest in a snap, beat all the Bug lovers in there too, and made it to Eterna City. Healed up, beat the Fishermen and the trainers near Mt. Coronet, and prepared for my Gym battle. Elekid and Grotle beat all the Gym trainers, and I challenged Gardenia with Charmeleon. It was as easy as sunday morning, as they were all OHKO'd by Flamethrower. Healed after it, and currently headed down Cycling Road.

Charmeleon lvl 22
Croconaw lvl 21
Grotle lvl 21
Elekid lvl 21

Went to Pal park and caught 6 Abras(Synchronizers) with a Masterball and a couple of TMs attached from FR. I transfered the Masterball to Platinum to help me catch Cresselia/any other legendaries as I already used the one I got in Platinum on Zapdos.

[Blazing Charmander]

Started training my new Shiny Pikachu (not EV training though), who I decided to nickname "Sparky" after my Pikachu from FireRed - I suspect it's more fitting for a Pikachu that glitters everytime it's released from its Luxury Ball xD. I attached the Light Ball to him and taught him Iron Tail to allow for more diversity in battle. Although i'll let him learn Thunderbolt, I could probably do with letting the Move Tutor teach him ThunderPunch due to him being a Jolly nature which isn't beneficial to Special Attack.

[foxyman1167]

I trained my EVd Jolly Lucario at bit more at the Battleground, and beat Maylene, Crasher Wake, Mira, and Roark. I also out of boredom caught every Unown, was really easy actually, took about an hour. Went through the new tunnel, and got the other two Unown and the free Rare Candy. Did the other daily events, got my free Heart Scales and Shards.

I also started breeding for a Ledyba just for fun, don't plan on IV breeding it, just looking for a Modest/Timid nature.

[EeveeandKirliafan]

Platinum: Evolved my Shuppet into Banette, she is level 37. I made a Wi-Fi trade to obtain a Feebas. I've also captured a Kangaskhan in the Safari zone and evolved a Nincada to obtain a Ninjask and a Shedinja. I'm now EV training a Magnemite. It is level 28. Oh, and my Empoleon is currently level 85 and Lucario is level 56.

[bleeding-chocobo]

Beat Fantina and got the Relic Badg. Eevee evoled into Vaporeon. Battled my rival and won. (Monferno's Flamethrower is win~). I'm on Route 209 and am going to catch Syther soon. Hoping for one w/ Techician ability.

Team:

Monferno lvl. 27

Roselia lvl. 28

Gligar lvl. 27

Vaporeon lvl. 27

Miltank lvl. 28

[neo darkrai]

I got myself a Dragonite after having a Dragonair for so long. I also evolved my Aron all the way to an Aggron and had my friend teach it Low Kick. My Pokedex is slowly filling up and my goal is to complete it before HeartGold and SoulSilver come out in America.

[foxyman1167]

After I beat Gardenia, I healed up, and headed for the Team Galactic Eterna Building, beating all the Grunts and made it to Jupiter. Croconaw made quick work of her and her annoying Skuntank. Afterwards, I got the Bicycle and the Togepi egg, and hatched it after a while. Dumped it in the PC, and hit Cycling Road. I beat all those trainers, made a pitstop in Oreburgh, and went to Mt. Coronet. Bumped into Dawn, got the stuff from her, and talked to Cyrus, and made it to Hearthome, beating all the trainers along the way. I healed up, beat the Gym trainers with Charmeleon and Croconaw, and challenged Fantina. She was a challenge for once, as Elekid got KO'd by a critical hit Shadow Claw from Haunter. Grotle finished it off, and 2HKO'd Mismagius with Bite. Healed afterwards, and saved.

Charmeleon lvl 26
Croconaw lvl 26
Grotle lvl 26
Elekid lvl 25
