• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

I think I'll visit the move tutors for some of my Pokemon, but otherwise it won't take me much longer to win.
 
So after a months worth of doing absolutely nothing Pokemon related, I started a new Platinum file. Hopefully this one will take.
My final team will hopefully be:
Torterra
Houndoom
Vaporeon
Togekisss
Electabuzz or some other electric type
Mismagius

My current team is:
Doof the Bidoof Lv.8
Stars the Starly Lv.8
Spinx the Shinx Lv.9
Greta the Turtwig Lv.9

I have very creative nicknames I know.
 
My status.....
I have 92 hours of play time. I have 4 level 100s raised on platinum. I have defeated the league several times. I have all but the letter seals. I also have gone kinda far in the battle tower, but, as you know, those guys cheat, X3.
I like the game so far. The Wi-Fi plaza is rather fun. My complaint however is the fact that a lot of the trainers in the battle zone have gotten weaker pokemon which unfortunately means they don't give quite as good exp.
 
Beat the E4 yesterday with barely any problems. Now I'm just hanging out in the Battle Frontier, doing stuff in the Battle Castle, Battle Hall, and Battle Arcade. The other two are meh-ish.

Oh, and I'm addicted to the scratch cards :D
 
So I just beat Candice, and went to the lake. My poor clueless rival was defeated. And now I forget where to go.
 
I'm about to head to Eterna. Taking the game nice and slow so it will hopefully last longer. That and raising everything I catch.
 
FINALLY BEAT ROARK HOMG.

In Diamond, he wasn't nearly so tough. I had to evolve my Piplup before I won. Now I'm off to Eterna City.
 
I finally got Platinum, I am happiness.

I'm currently on my way to Eterna Forest, and getting the second badge.

I'm in Pastoria City now. I'll challenge the gym leader at some point. I've been really hesitant to challenge the gym leaders in this game. I'm not sure why. The team is coming along nicely but I've made a few changes from the original idea.
Houndoom
Firenze Lv.36
Vaporeon
Cosmo Lv.36
Torterra
Taline Lv.36
Togetic
Candide Lv.37
Bronzong
Asthore Lv.37

Then a HM Slave. The last slot is for an Electrabuzz, but I'm not sure if I'm going to use it because you get it so late in the game.

Beaten Stark quest ages ago. Training for Second round of E4 but also did A LOT of IV breeding which I have only recently discovered with the help of the Smogon Breeding guide. Training one Pokemon with my team of five at the same time(Exp Share) so training is slow...but at least I'm training some Pokes for the Lv50 competition me and my friends will be doing.
 
Is currently at the Snowpoint gym, but I'm trying to raise the happiness of my Riolu at the time, by biking through Route 209, Solaceon and Route 210. I have a feeling my team is a bit underleveled.
