This will be the place to discuss the general nuances of HG/SS that don't require their own thread, such as how many Pokemon you've caught, where you currently are in the game, and general impressions.
So an easy topic to start with - which did you choose, and when did you get it?
I chose Soulsilver and got it today, though reserved it about a month ago.
Both. March 14th. Reserved them months ago. Don't remember when.
Once I get it, I will get Chikorita. Been one of my favorite Pokemon since the show.
I had HeartGold pre-ordered at Gamestop since I heard it was available for pre-order, just picked it up today. I picked Cyndaquil <3
Was going to be Totodile, but Cyndaquil is faster.
Pre-ordered SoulSilver days ago with no intentions of doing so. Stayed up all night, left early, waited in a long ass line (People behind me were awesome), got it, came back and crashed.
I chose Cyndaquil. Chikorita is meh and I chose Totodile in the original.
Didn't preorder because I was lazy and this town never sells out of games with the exception of Guitar Hero 3 2 years ago.
Got it today and they were overstocked as usual with Pokemon games.
Started with Cyndaquil just like I did with Gold and Crystal, named the rival, then saved and quit. I'd rather save it for when I need something to do. Too many times I have been somewhere and wished I hadn't finished a game on a portable system...
motherintercourse ing cyndaquil
bench is gonna be:
typhlosion
togekiss
vaporeon
gengar
ampharos
hm slave onix
I got Heart Gold.
I started with Totodile.
I caught a Hoothoot and named him Kaepora.
I put him in my PC and transferred him to my Pokewalker.
I caught three Nidoran (M) in the Pokewalker and found 3 items so far.
Continuing the game now.
Oh right, I chose Totodile, seeing as he's always been my favorite starter of all of them.
Will buy Soul Silver in just a little bit and will pick Totodile because I liked Feraligatr more than the other ones.
I picked Cyndaquil :0)
I got both HG and SS. Playing SS first. Picked Totodile. Seen 74, caught 25. At Ecruteak, just beat Rival.
So, is this a semi-chat thread for most things that have to do with HG/SS that don't deserve their own threads? I wanted to make one of these. Mack beat me to it D:
I took Chikorita, anyone else get the figures?

Had both for a few weeks now.
Got the game Sunday around 12, and been playing off and on since, 8 hours in and 4 badges as of now; Quilava is Level 30, whereas Pidgeotto is only 21 and Flaffy is 20, the other 3 pokemon I carry with me aren't important~
Stopped being addicted to the PokeWalker and am now grinding.

(http://images.absoluteanime.com/when_they_cry/keiichi%5B2%5D.jpg)
I'm four hours in, just got the third badge, and my Croconaw is level 27.
Fuck, everyone has their Pokémon at higher levels than I. My party is all at level 21. Totodile is at level 24 or something. Flaafy or Pidgey is the second highest. I'm not evolving my Pokémon yet as I want them to learn the moves at a lower level. But does this make the stats grow slower?
Damn, you all are way farther than me >_>
I still only have 1 badge, I think Quilava is Lv. 18 or something. No other Pokemon yet, I was going to get a Pidgey, because Pidgeot is awesome, but too weak :(
But the next Pokemon I want on my team that I should have access to soon is probably... Chinchou, was going to be Ralts, but I forgot you can't catch it until you get the Nat Dex D:

Trade over.
Quote from: えっちーせんぱい on March 16, 2010, 01:20:38 PM
Trade over.
I probably will if I get around to buying a router. I wish Pal Park was opened sooner, then I could just trade one over from Emerald.
Currently in the Slowpoke Well. Got most of my established party, with a Cyndaquil, a Jirachi, and a Paras. Unsure about keeping Hoothoot and Togepi. Geodude is only around until I can get Sudowoodo.
7 hours play time about to challenge the first gym leader
just lost to that darn Miltank, she spammed stomp causing my Onix to flinch 3 times in a row
Got to the Bug Gym, but I was raped by a lvl 17 Scyther because I'm too underleveled. I'll be grinding for the next few hours.
Also, I just caught a Mareep. Should I add it to my team?
It can't hurt, after all, Scyther is Bug/Flying.
Fun fact, to those who have an Arceus, trade it over to HG/SS and take it to the Ruins of Alph.
You should've seen his face when he realized he posted this in the wrong thread. :3
I just beat the fighting gym leader. Everything's been easy going in my Silver since that stupid kid traded an Onix for a Bellsprout. I accidentally went and beat team rocket and caught the red Gyarados before realizing I was doing it wrong.
Grinding for the Pokemon League at this point. Team is :
Feraligatr
Garydos
Ampharos
Nidoking
Pidgeotto about to evolve
Arcanine
Bugsy's Scyther can be easily handled with Geodude or Onix. Rock Throw murdered it.
I'm going to see how long I can play it out with just Pigeotto and Quilava. Before the E4, I'll probably pick up Lugia for the ride as well.
I'm only using 4 pokemon now, Quilava, Pidgeotto, Chinchou and Flaaffy. I'm not sure who I'm going to finish the game with yet.
...am I the only person that keeps a full team the entire game?
Got some unown, beat Falkner, hatched togepi, headed towards union cave. other pokemon at level 12 and croconaw at level 18

I collect as I go. I try to figure out what Pokemon I want on my team before I start playing. I always have a full team by the E4. Right now I only have my Quilava, a Geodude for Rock Smash and a Bellsprout for Flash.
This time I figure i'll go with Typhlosion, Gardevoir, Gyarados, Dragonite, Lanturn, and Arcanine.
Quote from: Friendly Hostile on March 16, 2010, 11:53:26 PM

I have Six pokemon, but I only use 4 in battle.
Well, it'll be 5 once I get Espeon. Running Typhlosion, Ampharos, Lanturn, Pidgeotto (god darn useless pokemon until it evolves), Eevee, and a Female Nidoran for Cut/Rock Smash/Strength, and probably Rock Climb.
Radio Tower Takeover~
I just beat Claire and I'm headed to get my Lugia.
Running Typhlosion, Amphardos, Scyther, Gyarados, Pidgeotto, and Onix.
So, I'm training my Pokemon for Bugsy's gym. I've been training near Slowpoke Well, so I decide to go outside Azalea and fight stronger Pokemon. And who do I see? MOTHERFUCKING SILVER

Just beat Bugsy. Team consists of Butterfree, Bellsprout, Pidgey, Mareep, and Quilava. Not the best team to face fire types. D:
Finished grinding, tried taking on Bugsy again.
YOU PIECE OF ASS, WHAT IS THIS U-TURN BULLSHIT AND WHY CAN'T I BEAT YOU-
FUCK IT, I'M USING JIRACHI
I've been sticking around in Goldenrod until my Eevees evolve into Umbreon and Espeon. Already have my Espeon. Thank god the route south of Goldenrod has Dittos.
So far my party is as follows: Eevee, Espeon, Pidgeotto, Scizor, Quilava. Exactly what my party was back in the day so far minus the Spinarak/Ariados. I need a 6th party member though, not sure what I should use. I was thinking about getting a Horsea or a Poliwag since I guess I need a water type. Any suggestions on a 6th party member?

Gyarados.
Yeah maybe. Gyrados is a little too good though, which is why I didn't consider it over Horsea or Poliwag.

I've only been using Quilava up until then.
I know how to spread out Pokemon usage and how to do it correctly.
Also it helps if you only use one Pokemon and have others as buffers for when you're in trouble, I went through the first 6 Gyms with only 3~4 pokemon that were usable in battle, but kept my party filled.
Going to Kanto by the S.S. Aqua.

I always go through the first couple gyms with just my starter, so it gets really high leveled, then start slowly catching others, but just use them for back-up. I always train so everybody is at LEAST Lv. 50 before the E4, though.
Well right now i'm on my way to Ecruteak, just caught Sudowoodo, brought back memories from G/S when I thought it was some super rare, powerful Pokemon :P
I encountered the most fearsome Ditto ever. Paralyzed, Level 10, 3 HP left, and it took two Great Balls before he gave in and got caught. It also managed to take out my Cyndaquil, at full health.
What.

brb grinding for uber Miltank
Miltank took one hit from a Focus Energy Critical Hit Double Kick by my level 19 (or was it 20?) Nidoking.
Bitch was nothing.
Current Party, as of beating Whitney and exploring the surroundings a bit.
Totodile, Level 15.
Charmeleon, level 22.
Pikachu, level 18.
Nidoking, level 21.
Ninjask, level 27.
Jirachi, level 8.
Charmeleon was traded in, and admittedly hacked: I lost my good Shiny Charizard to Wifi, so Iceflinger hacked me a fresh level 5 Shiny Charmander with regular stats, I'm leveling it up myself and it's growing normally, so I don't see it as bad... the only thing wrong with it is that when it evolved, it lost it's nickname, and I can't change it back D:
The Pikachu was traded in from PBR. It knows Surf and Volt Tackle, and I taught it Charge Beam.
The Ninjask was traded in from my Pearl. It's Shiny.
I have a Nidoking so early because of a moon stone from the pokewalker.
Jirachi is from the event.
As a note, Pokethlon is intercourse ing addicting. Skill competition sucks hard though.
I already ran into Entei (while surfing) and Raikou (right after it ran from Burned tower)
Fight with Miltank took twenty minutes on its own, if only because it kept using Milk Drink. That was the only frustrating part. Not infatuation, not rollout, not stomping my ghost types, CHUGGING MILK LIKE THE OBESE MOTHER SHE IS.
Okay, beat Falkner and I've got about 5 Pokemon. Brotodile is at level 15.

lol I have a 38 Typhlosion, a 30 Pidgeotto, a 27 Scizor a 26 Umbreon, and a 25 Espeon and I haven't even left Olivine yet. Get on the ball people.

OBJECTION!
The fact that you have a Scizor means you traded. Also, it'd suggest you did the same with everyone else.
Skipped everything and got an Eevee. Currently working on getting it into a Level 20 Umbreon by Saturday.

Objection Overruled. I caught a Scyther, traded it to my girlfriends game where she already has metal coats and she traded it back with a metal coat. All of my pokemon are straight up mine from THIS game. My ID number is 56442, and all of my pokemon have that ID number. From what I understand she got the metal coat on the SS Aqua. She plays pokemon games like a fiend.
In conclusion: Fail, especially considering that not only did I do this back when I was 10 with G/S because I have never been intercourse ing retard, but me getting a Scizor doesn't suggest that I traded all of my other pokemon from another game. I thought Scizor was the poop back in the day and I did the same thing I did then. Got someone to let me have their Metal Coat so I could get one.

Hmm, if that's so, you traded eggs into the game, made them have your ID, did everything else with your girlfriend, and leveled everyone up...
However, leveling up your team in the Olivine area sounds a bit...stressful...
Recently beat Chuck. My team while in Cianwood:
Umbreon, level 28
Jirachi, level 27
Grovyle, level 26
Bayleef, level 25

Read my edit ^
I didn't trade anything into the intercourse ing game. The only pokemon other than Togepi I even have thats hatched from an Egg right now is my Espeon and that's because I breeded my Eevee with a Ditto so I could have both Espeon and Umbreon. In case you didn't know, you can breed pokemon in HG/SS and Ditto is in the route south of Goldenrod, which is really handy because the Day care is right there.
EDIT: Also, I just ran through the Safari Zone area and the Cianwood routes(both of which have tons of trainers) and all of my pokemon got that high. I don't run away from wild pokemon, ever. Everything dies. It also doesnt help that you add every trainer to your phone book and they either bother you about their Nidoran or Rattata or ask you to battle.

Whoops, I thought Olivine City was the first city when Violet City is the first one. Sorry, my bad. Everything I said is correctly overruled.
ON TOPIC: Beat Misty and Janine. Going after Lt. Surge.

He didn't for me. I caught at least 10 that didn't Roar before I caught them while I was looking for the one with the nature I wanted.
Lucky, yeah I have a Drowzee I could use, it probably isn't fast enough though.

Getting ready to challenge Ecruteak gym, Growlithe is Lv. 23 and Lil Flamer (Quilava) is Lv. 31, shouldn't be too hard.
Also, this night thing get on anyone elses nerves? The only time of day I usually have time to play at is the time when everything in-game is all dark, why can't it be like in R/S/E, where time goes by normally, but it stays light out all the time? Or can't it get dark at like... 10:00 or 11:00pm, instead of 7:00?
I hate Ho-Oh... so very much right now. If it weren't for the fact I KNOW there's a gods darned level 70 Lugia later in the game, I'd be using the master ball. I need Sleepers...

It's the way the original game worked. Deal with it.
Anyway, still training Burakki (Eevee) to evolve into an Umbreon. Not progressing anywhere until I can do it.
Set your DS time to whatever time you want.
About to go through the Ecruteak gym. Found a Shiny Leaf on Noctowl and one on Feraligatr. Current team is Fealigatr Lv.33, Togetic Lv. 29, Noctowl Lv. 21, Kangaskhan Lv. 21, Bellsprout Lv. 20, Onyx Lv. 21.
79 pokemon seen, 40 obtained

Night's one of the best features there is. I'm trying to figure out why they took it out.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK YEAH.
My Nidoking has all 5 Pokethlon medals.

Ruby and Sapphire were rushed games if I remember correctly, but since you set the time on the clock in the game anyways, the only thing that is left out is the visual difference between night and day. If it's 10:00PM your Eevee will still evolve into an Umbreon

You sure? In Sapphire, my Eevee evolved into an Espeon when I trained it at night. I had to train it during the day to get an Umbreon. And the time was set up correctly.
Come to think of it Night & Day sounds like a great idea to develop on more in the future. I just have absolutely no idea how to right now.

Hate to break it to you, but you set the time up incorrectly then. The whole reason they even had an in-game clock in that game in the first place was for the pokemon that evolve during night/day. My Eevee in Ruby evolved into an Espeon during the day and my Eevee in Emerald evolved into an Umbreon during the night. Same goes for everyone else I know.
I think the clock got screwed up in the first releases of Sapphire/Ruby so that might have had something to do with it. That's why there was that berry fix thing you could download at Gamestop and also from Emerald I believe. I don't know if it screwed with pokemon evolving like that but it did mess with the berries.

Oh yeah that glitch screwed up everyone's clock.

Captured Lugia. I ran out of Ultra Balls, Heavy Balls, and Love Balls, but a normal Poke Ball was enough.
What.

My brother caught Moltres with a Poke Ball, contrary to the other legendary birds, with which he used Ultra Balls on.
Also, Ghost-type gym. Why hasn't Burakkii evolved yet ;_;
I went through all of FireRed only using normal Poke Balls. It was a bit trying at times for some of the legendary pokemon but it still got the job done.

Slot machines are boring. This game kind of reminds me of Sudoku and Memory...except for you know, well, fun.
It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
I'm still at Olivine. I'm grinding like a 12 year old girl looking for attention at a school dance.
Still not budging from Ecruteak until my Eevee evolves. Maybe I'll take a crack at the dogs in the meantime. Just throw a Fast Ball at full health, and pray it works.

Also, should I mention my rival died, and I was cornered by TWO Dragonites, one of them being lvl. 75?[/spoiler]
Running around Olivine looking for a Staryu while also strolling through Beautiful Beach on my Pokewalker also looking for Staryu. I have to find one sooner or later. ;-;

I found one in the pokewalker and I just ran into one surfing in the water on my way to the safari zone
I caught Zapdos...with a Great Ball.

I'm still in Ecruteak. I beat the gym leader a couple days ago, and just finished surfing around all the towns (And caves) for items. Quilava is Lv. 35 and Growlithe is Lv. 30. On my way to Olivine tomorrow.
Just beat Jasmine and Chuck.
I have the Victory Road left to trek through, and I have no idea when that will get done.
I don't feel like grinding on Wild pokemon, so I'm probably just going to trade one or two over to pearl and abuse the Elite Four in that.
Two nights ago I beat Red. Yesterday I trained my team to get ready to tackle the battle tower.

Speaking of which, I'm right near it. I saw a little bit of it in the book and I think my opinion will be the same as yours.
Well I like that you can customize it, but i think it's intercourse ing stupid for you to get "ownership" of it only to still pay an entry fee.

I guess it's more of a club then. Why am I getting all the Pokémon that either I don't want or are running away?
WHAT THE FUCK? A Rattata in the Safari Zone? GTFO. The Safari Zone is for the rarer Pokémon only, and Nidorans.
Just beat Pryce. Can't figure out who should be my sixth spot... Right now I use Quilava, Bayleef, Grovyle, Jirachi, Umbreon, and <<insert HM Slave here>>. Am I able to get Lugia now that I have whirlpool?

You also need the Silver Feather (In addition to Whirlpool) to get Lugia. You get the Silver Feather after you beat Team Rocket and the Kimono Girls in Ecruteak, in SoulSilver.
Arrived at Cianwood. Suddenly, underleved. ;-;
Beat Chuck. He used two hyper potions :-\ Is his name referencing Chuck Palahniuk (fighting Pokémon, fight club)?
Just beat Jasmine, on my way to get the Red Gyarados now ^__^
Growlithe is Lv. 38 or 39 now, and Typhlosion is Lv. 37. I would have a Chinchou by now... But the Good Rod only has a gosh darned 7% catch rate, while the Super Rod (Which I have to wait until intercourse ing KANTO to get) has a 60% catch rate. Fun.

Go to New Bark town and fish there. I got one without problems.
Currently on the Team Rocket scenario, with underleveled Quilava, Pidgeotto, Vaporeon, Flaaffy, and Scyther. I get the feeling I'm going to get my ass kicked by Clair.
Beat Red on Sunday with a team of level 70s
My team right now is
Lucario (shiny) level 76
Feraligatr level 75
Houndoom level 75
Espeon level 75
Electivire level 75
Skarmory level 75
It's made up of Pokemon I've never really used before (except Lucario and Feraligatr but I had a shiny riolu in Platinum and I kept Feraligatr for nostalgia)
I think I'm gunna get my team to level 100 and then take on the battle frontier.

Red? Wow, that's what I call MASSIVE training, then.
I caught Mewtwo and the Level 70 Ho-oh, then used my Dunsparce and a LOT of revives/hyper potions.
Exploring Cerulean Cave (with the ever awesome Dowsing Machine).
So I have a really lazy question. How much can you increase the PP of a move? Isn't it like 3?
EDIT: I just want to confirm this because I just battled and traded with some guy that had a few moves with base PP of 15 that had 24 for some reason. Flare Blitz was an example.
I'm still in Goldenrod City. I'm being kind of a slowpoke.
[Insert whining and moaning about how Eevee won't evolve here]

Wait, the ability can change when they evolve? I thought it was always the same, unless you get a Pokemon like Magikarp that always changes from Swift Swim to Intimidate when it evolves into Gyarados.

That's what I thought, but when it evolved it had Flash Fire....so...I guess that isn't always the case because Arcanine can have either Intimidate OR Flash Fire. I don't know why it did this, but its pretty stupid. I tried again and he has intimidate, so I'm good.

When did this happen? D:
Also, beat Jasmine and Chuck (in that order :U). I find Jasmine easier to beat than Chuck. Jasmine was defeated by a lvl 23 Staryu and a lvl 23 Quilava. Chuck would have not been defeated if it not had been for my Ampharos. Charge + ThunderPunch was a OHKO.
Now I'm just exploring the route heading to the Safari Zone before going to Mahogany.

Yesterday. Like I said though, it got Intimidate the second time I tried.
After watching as he broke out of 10 or so Ultra/Dusk balls I captured Lugia in a normal Pokeball. That was lucky.

I have a Totodile. I beat Pryce and not Jasmine. Chuck was pretty easy with Flaafy, Pidgey, and Raticate.
[spoiler=Pryce commentary]
That intercourse er. Dewgong had Sleep Talk as well as Rest. The guide says Seel has it too, but Seel is easier to take out. When you talk to him after you beat him (after you get the badge, talk to him again) he says something very fortune cookie-y.

Anyway I think Lugia will be the last one I catch except for maybe the Hoenn legendarys. My Pokemon are just too powerful and OHKO them. I could train up a new team just to catch them but I'm way too lazy for that.
Still holding off on the Olivine gym.Trained my team up to at least level 40 then I started evolving some of the pokemon that I've caught and filling out my pokedex more.

I was only level 45 when I beat the E4. You are going to decimate the Olivine gym at level 40.
Also I can't stop playing voltorb flip. Someone help me.
i beat e4 with 40s. Also, i have 15 badges and lost my ds D:
Where's a good place to level? My Larvitar is only lvl 20, Horsea is 21, and my Arcanine is 23, I desperately need to train them. The rest of my party are in their 30's though.
30 Marowak
32 Espeon
33 Umbreon
33 Scizor
36 Pidgeot
38 Typhlosion
Just beat Silver at the Underground Hideout.
if you just beat the mahogany hideout, your levels are pretty high. if you want to level those 3, use exp share and go through radio tower
I ran out of Ultra Balls and Dusk Balls, but a single Level Ball caught Moltres...and I thought it was going to break at the first use. :|
Still trying to catch the right natured Red Gyarados I want, so far i've found every nature but Jolly, including 4 or 5 Adamant >_>
YEAH! PLAYING CRYSTAL BECAUSE I CAN'T PLAY SS/HG!
FIRST GYM IS GOING DOWN!!!!
Now that I've beaten hell, I'm going to speed through HG/SS to make up for the days I haven't played it. I'll probably have my Red Gyarados by the end of the day.

This. I beat the Olivine Gym with high 20's, low 30's.
Yeah I was about mid 20's before then for all but Feraligatr which was about 30. Though now Feraligatr is level 50 after spending some time evolving some of my other pokemon
Pokedex is now at 143 seen, 86 owned
I still can't beat the stupid Elite Four the second time through. I've been using a different team, but they sure make it harder the second time around.
Just caught a shiny Wooper
E4
Whee, I caught a Jolly Red Gyarados finally last night, I just saved and quit. I'll pick up tomorrow, I forget what happens next after catching it D:
Got bored evolving pokemon, will go challenge Olivine gym now. Pokedex: 149 seen, 98 owned. And in evolving pokemon I got my Feraligatr and Togetic to Level 50, and Kangaskhan to level 49. So I think I'll have an easy time for a while.
Also, just checked back at the GTS and got a Gengar for the Steelix I put up and then traded the Gengar for a level 1 Japanese Charmander.

I went inside the power plant and he was there when I came out.
I beat Lance. Finally.
just beat the 6th gym, and going to catch that Red Gyarados
Eevee evolved, got a Dratini, and I'm all stocked up.
BRB SPEEDRUN
Well currently leveling up my Magnemite that I got to Magneton, and next I need to train a Growlithe I'm hopefully getting for Olivine City.
Just got through the Ice Path, I think G/S/C was way harder, didn't seem to challenging this time. Can't wait to get my ExtremeSpeed Dartini :3
Growlithe Lv.43, Typhlosion Lv.40, and Gyarados Lv.38. I'm still using the Exp. Share for Gyarados, even though she doesn't really need it...
Got SS yesterday
On my way to show Elm the Togepi.
Beat Olivine, lake of rage got red Gyarados, beat 7th gym, team rocket radio. And now I'm going to breed Magikarp.

I prefer to only use Pokeballs if possible. I never thought to color coordinate though. Now that I think of it, Mewtwo and Masterball would look kind of cool.
I color coordinate usually.
My Arcanine is in a Fast Ball and my Kingdra is in a Quick Ball. They go good together.
At the moment I just got to Victory Road, but darn didn't they switch the battle music back to the 1st gen battle music in the original games when in Kanto?
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUU-
Clair was a pain in the ASS. No matter how powerful the move, they hardly made a dent in her Pokemon. Even my Lv. 40 Ice Fang Gyarados wasn't much help, and SolarBeam from Typhlosion (With Sunny Day and Choice Specs) didn't do jack. I think the battle lasted over an hour, with about 20 Hyper Potions used >_>
Whatever... She's beaten. Anyone know a good place to train my Pokemon who are all a little above Lv. 40? I need Growlithe at Lv. 48, and Gyarados at Lv. 44 before the E4.
Go fight the Kimono Girls back at Eckrutek and capture Ho-Oh or Lugia depending on your version. After that just go to Victory Road and train there. There are plenty of trainers along the way to Victory Road anyways.
Clair's a intercourse ing vagina
I traded over Ampharos and Lanturn to Pearl for some E4 Grinding, both are Level 55, and I sent over a Flygon at Level 70.
I then realized that the highest level is only 50 :|
I beat Gyarados and Dratini. Dragonair is a pain in the ass. I decided to grind Totodile up to level 40, but I don't think that will be enough. I'll grind him up to level 45 and Ampharos to level 40.

Ampharos with Discharge kills Gyarados in one hit. Dratini gets killed in one hit with Ice Fang. Dragonair is a pain for me.

Use a Pokemon with Shadow Tag or Arena Trap. Or, have a Pokemon use Block or Mean Look. Sleep also works.
Caught Raikou with a Fast Ball. I doubt Sleep Powder will work on Entei because its Fire type.

On my way to get Ho-Oh, whee.
Gyarados: Lv. 41, Typhlosion: Still Lv. 40, Arcanine: Lv. 48. After Ho-Oh i'm going to train a bit before I tackle Victory Road, I haven't had a chance to train Dratini yet. Also, anyone know a Pokemon that can learn Fly, Cut, AND Flash?
I'm fighting Lance at the moment
All of my pokemon are 38-40 with the exception of Typhlosion who's 44. I'm just...completely poopting on them.
HOLY SHIZ!
I just caught Ho-Oh with 1 Ultra Ball! I just used Gyarados, who is only Lv. 41, Waterfall + Bite, then 1 Ultra Ball. Yay ^__^
Now time to train D:
I got my lvl 70 lugia with 2 ultra balls
Got my second Kanto badge from Misty.
Also, I was talking to my Pokemon, and something weird happened. You know when it has an item and you usually take it without having the Pokemon ninny back? Apparently, when I tried to take it from my Latias she flipped out and became angry; she wouldn't stop being angry until I swapped her out with another lead and swapped her back in. Then, I let her keep the item and she started doing weird happy poop like walking up close or hugging. Has anyone else experienced this?
I beat the Kimono Girls. I don't want to catch Lugia just yet and I need more Fast Balls for Suicune. Getting everyone up to level 40. Just Raticate and Furret need to be trained. Finally evolved Totodile to Croconaw and Feraligatr. I should transfer over a Leaf Stone from Diamond to evolve Weepinbell, I mean, I taught it Razor Leaf, I think I just need to teach it Slam.
Now trying to catch Lugia...

I have, once with my Gyarados yesterday.
Beat Clair, went through Dragon's Den, now facing Kimono girls. And now beat them.
Leveling my party for red
I'm in the Radio Tower. :B
The Yellow Forest is go
Also, I'm now headed towards Victory Road.
Well intercourse . No trainers in Victory Road, and all the Pokemon are only Lv. 30s. This messes up my training a bit.
So far I have Arcanine: Lv. 50, Gyarados: Lv. 47, and Typhlosion: Lv. 45. How do you think i'll do against the E4? I'm training a Dragonair and Chinchou now. Dragonair is Lv. 30, but leveling it up is slow as intercourse , and Chinchou is Lv. 11, I just hatched it and started training it. I was thinking about waiting for the E4, since Chinchou would be helpful with Confuse Ray and Thunder Wave. But how do you guys think i'll do with just my strongest three?

Well intercourse . No trainers in Victory Road, and all the Pokemon are only Lv. 30s. This messes up my training a bit.
So far I have Arcanine: Lv. 50, Gyarados: Lv. 47, and Typhlosion: Lv. 45. How do you think i'll do against the E4? I'm training a Dragonair and Chinchou now. Dragonair is Lv. 30, but leveling it up is slow as intercourse , and Chinchou is Lv. 11, I just hatched it and started training it.

Odion of YTAS: Let me put it this way, you are so f*****.
Lance is the person you should worry about.

I think you have a chance. Try to see if you can strike first, though.
For Phaze. Just the E4 levels. Not revealing types, names, or Pokémon; Just the levels. Taken out of the guide, so it should be accurate. This seems to be the only thing they're accurate with besides maps.

Theres better training up past the waterfall near the safari zone. Personally, I managed to beat the e4 up to lance no problem with my team of lvl 40s, but thats probably because I had a vague memory of what I was facing and carefully equipped my pokes. Lance took a couple tries and a choice scarf'd ampharos, as well as a crapload of luck with icefang

So, can you tell where you get Minus Rare Candies again?
I used a different Raichu, since the first one had a minus Special Attack nature.
I have four Kanto badges. Four to go.
I can't wait to play HeartGold. Yukkuri poopeitte ne~
Finally beat the E4, and made it to Kanto. I love it already. <3
Got my full team to level 100 and dropped Feraligator and Houndoom for a Blasoise and Arcanine I had on my platinum team.
Lucario (shiny)
Blastoise
Espeon
Arcanine
Electivire
Skarmory
None of them are EV trained and I didn't really bother with IVs or natures so they're just average level 100s but that's fine by me.
Just beat Clair, and OHKO'd her Kingdra with Close Combat from Lucario:
8 badges
-Lv.43 Lucario

Congratz!
Yeah, it only took me two days.
I'm still obsessed with training. I'm sure I can wipe out the E4 no problem, but i'm actually having fun training :P
All my Pokemon are in their 60s now.
Training is complete poop to me without the VS Seeker. ;_;
Good thing I have awesome battle techniques.

Cheater.
I'm no cheater. I just have a lot of free time. It took me 3 full days to get the shiny riolu.
Incidentally if anyone wants a normal riolu I have about 5 boxes full.
I beat the E4 with everyone ranging from lvl 40 to 46. Lance and Karen were a bit of a ninny, Lance for having 3 motherintercourse ing Dragonites and me not having a proper counter to Karen's Umbreon and Houndoom, but I got through them with only one pokemon being KO'd in the end.
The first three are too easy. Karen is harder, but a fighting type will kill. Lance is just flat out hard, but only the Dragonites. Charizard, Gyarados, and Aero can all be taken down by electricity. Dragonites are defeated by moves like Ice Beam, Blizzard, Dragon Claw, Dragon Pulse, or constant hacking away. :P
I traded a lvl 14 Absol for a lvl 56 Salamence. Win.
Also caught Groudon!
At victory road but started filling out my more of my pokedex first.
lol, I destroyed the E4. Not even a challenge. Every one of my Pokemon were at least 10 levels higher than Lance's strongest, and I had special movesets on each of them to take out their Pokemon in 1 hit :3
Now to decide my last Pokemon... Right now it's Arcanine, Dragonite, Gyarados, Lanturn, soon-to-be Gardevoir, and ?
I can't decide between Absol or Lucario. I was thinking Absol since everybody uses Lucario. Or possibly Weavile...
Up to 15 badges now. I'm going to go beat my rival to a pulp in Mt. Moon before taking on Blue. Then the fun begins in prepping for the E4 redux and Red.

You need to beat Blue before beating Red, you know.

Whoops. Sorry. I got the names mixed. :P
I feel like Lance. Lets see I have. . .
Dragonite
Charzard
Salamence
This is sad.
I'm leveling up a bit before getting the 8th badge, but there are no trainers left to battle
I chose Totodile. Got a female on my first try.
I think I've caught around 100 Pokemon, and I'm just before the Blackthorn Gym. Unfortunately, my team is mostly around level 30, so I think the game is going to get a bit tough.

True. As a kid I played Gold only leveling and using my starter, which meant I basically had one nice Pokemon to use, and if he went down...
...on second thought, it may have gone more like this:
"GAH I CAN'T BEAT CLAIR WITH TY, NEW FILE"
"GAH I CAN'T BEAT THE E4 WITH FERALIGATOR, NEW FILE"
"THANKS FOR LVL100 RAICHU AND GYRADOS, FRIEND OF MINE"
God, I was such a vagina-y. Guess that's why I've feel iffy about trading so far.

Not at all.
Also, X-3, you might want to have some status-inducing moves if you want to have a chance against Clair. Confuse should work much better since some of her Pokemon have Shed Skin.
Just caught Zapdos with a Fast Ball, now fighting Suicune. It has Rain Dance but no water moves? lol this is pathetic
I got Clair down. It took a few tries, what with her Kingdra being almost 10 levels above my guys. Sacrifices were made, and it was a close battle in the end. I got her Kingdra to red levels and...no Hyper Potion or Full Restore was used by her. That was nice.
