Platinum's Dex is BROWNISH!

Beat Youngster Dallas (haha Dallas=me in guy form) and now can figure out where in God's name I can get a Shinx!

 

[AuroraSuicune]

I beat Fantina by stalling. Because I took down Mismagius and iforgetwhatitwas, and was left battling Haunter, which kept on putting my pokemon to sleep and confusion and stuff, so I stalled with my lvl 1 Togepi and lvl 4 Bidoof. Because Haunter only knew ghost type attacking moves. So I stalled it out of Hypnosis PP first, and then out of Confuse Ray PP until Togepi got taken down by multiple Confuse Rays, then I stalled it out of Shadow Claw PP. I think those were the only moves it knew. Then it started using Stuggle and KOed itself. I know I was being cheap ^_^ It was a great victory, winning against a lvl 26 or so with a lvl 1 and a lvl 4...until I realized it took me a lousy 2-and-a-half-hours to beat her. >.>

 

[Flora]

Caught a Shinx and named her E'clair (yeah I know that French for lightning is really éclair, but I couldn't find é.

 

[Jolty]

I'm being slow because I am desperately trying to hax a Skymin flower. If not I am going to have to hax fly onto my regular Shaymin >:(

TEAM IS: Spoink, Monferno, Shaymin, Jolteon, Shellos, Sneasel, all between level 15-20

I am lazy so I cheated for the other 5 on diamond and traded them over

Also I just got to Eterna and I need to beat the hell out of Gardenia so the traded guys can actually obey me DAMNIT NEIL

 

[Yarnchu]

Preparing to take on the Canalave Gym. Current team for the gym(am going to battle people inside for extra exp again):

Quagsire lv26
Bibarel lv31(yay slave!)
Tangrowth lv33
Togetic lv24(actually trained it at Iron Island. the only attacking move it knows is metronome, so maybe I should evolve it into Togekiss and teach it Aura Sphere.)
Pepper lv41
Egg(riolu. Not bothering hatching it before the battle, so I'm just bringing it along for the ride.)

I want the secret key sooo badly. Release it already, Ninty! >:(

EDIT: Taught Togetic Magical Leaf, then evolved it and taught Togekiss Aura Sphere and Air Slash. Now it is perfect for battling.

 

[Exo-Raikou]

JUST CAUGHT GIRATINA!! OH GLORIOUS DAY!!!

*ahem* I second that Sceret Key hope.

 

[Hikari]

Finally beated the last Gym! Yay! ^^;

[S. E.]

Ugh. D:
Due to school, I've only clocked about 7 hours in 5 days and have just beaten Hearthome Gym with a bunch of underleveled Pokemon who just got schooled by Barry yesterday on the way out of the city and am way behind you guys.
Ugh.

 

[Flora]

^ I got it on MOnday and I still don't have a badge.

WiFi Plaza is amazing btw. ^^

Ugh.

Don't complain, I've clocked 14 hours and 49 minutes in the same 5 days and I just got to Solaceon... I also beat Hearthome Gym with somewhat underleveled Pokemon.

Buizel Lv. 20
Ponyta lv. 23
Grotle lv. 23
Staravia lv. 24
Luxio lv. 24
Geodude lv. 24

I advance at my own pace. This is my first 4th generation game, so I'm still sort of feeling around.

 

[nothing to see here]

somewhat underleveled Pokemon.

Buizel Lv. 20
Ponyta lv. 23
Grotle lv. 23
Staravia lv. 24
Luxio lv. 24
Geodude lv. 24

Those aren't underleveled at all, except for the Buizel... Lv.23/24 is probably about the right level for that point in the game.

Mine were all in the 22 to 25 range after Fantina; if they had been any higher, the fights would be too easy (even at level 22, my Rotom singlehandedly whupped the rival guy... without taking a single point of damage...)

 

[Flora]

Finally beat Oreburgh Gym.

At some point I think I should transfer some low-ish leveled Pokemon on my hoped Platinum team from my Diamon game

 

[Yarnchu]

Now I am training to take on Candice. My Riolu hatched, but I don't plan on using it. Current team(still in training!):

Crobat lv36
Togekiss lv37
Houndoom lv31
Pepper lv41
Quagsire lv31
Bibarel lv33

I'm not fighting her gym till all of my pokemon are at least above 41, with Pepper being close/at 50, being my starter and all. I sort of have a problem with my hm-slaves. Bibarel knows 4 attacks, all of them HM moves, and I need someone to teach Rock Climb to. I guess I could delete Cut or something and teach the deleted move to Staravia...but I can't, since Staravia can't learn anything. Maybe I'll capture a Rhyhorn, so I can make it my third slave.(like my bro did.)

 

[Storm Earth and Fire]

Those aren't underleveled at all, except for the Buizel... Lv.23/24 is probably about the right level for that point in the game.

Sorry, meant that they were underleveled before I beat Fantina. They were between 2-3 levels lower than the ones I posted above.

Yes, Buizel is actually proved to be slightly problematic to level, but he's starting to catch up as we speak.

 

[Kai Lucifer]

Still waiting for the EU release.

Can I ask something? Can you turn any Giratina into the origin forme? Because I was thinking about trading my lv100 one over once I have the game.

 

[Storm Earth and Fire]

Anybody else find the omnipresent joggers kinda funny?

My team hasn't changed much besides levels.

Buizel lv. 23
Staravia lv. 24
Geodude lv. 24
Grotle lv. 25
Ponyta lv. 25
Luxio lv. 26

Plodding my way through the ever rainy Route 215.

 

[Darksong]

I finally beat Wake, with some difficulty... and after I headed to Celestic Town to pick up Surf HM, and now heading to Canalave City for the next gym badge. ^^;

Kotomi (Espeon) (f) Lv 36
Lucario (m) Lv 37
