...When I complete this, it'll be the first time I beat Pokémon XD... Yep... this'll be fun... ^__^
...Okay...I'll add that now ~
I think I'll take on FireRed with Fire and LeafGreen with Grass as well, gives me something to do since my Wii is broken.
While it probably holds no significance here, I completed Pokemon Battle Revolution with an all-Ice battle pass...


Still training for the Elite 4. Seeing as my Walrein are my strongest Pokemon, I decided to breed another Spheal and replace my Sneasel with it.

Update... already... though I have been playing over 4 hours already... I have no life...

Note:
☻ means shadow.
☺ means purified.



Eevee♂ ► Umbreon♂ Lv. 23
Main Poké, starter. Evolved at Lv. 12
Quick attack
Just something to replace tackle...
Pursuit
STAB... it's better than Tail whip, too...
Bite
More STAB. Primary move that completely destroys anything that doesn't resist it.
Sand-Attack
I haven't ever used this...

Seedot♀ ► Nuzleaf♀ Lv. 20
Second Shadow Pokémon. Just purified. Evolved immediately after purification, at Lv. 20
Giga Drain
Just got it after purification. Haven't used it yet, but it has to be better than Bullet Seed as a grass type move. I'll kinda miss having Shadow Wave's Super Effectiveness on everything, though...
Refresh
Got it after purification, too... Healing Poisoning, Paralysis, or a Burn in the form of a move should be awesome. ^.^ It should get more use than the unused Shadow hold, anyways...
Bullet Seed
My only STAB move before Purification. It sucked. Horribly.
Secret Power
A "meh..." move. I did get a paralyze on a Machop, though... =\

Houndour Lv.17+ Heart gauge: ~¼ bars.
First shadow Pokémon I'm actually using for the game.
Shadow Blitz
Awesome move. Super effective on all non-shadow Pokémon.
Shadow Shed
Never used it.
Ember
STAB..! Still, I barely used it...
Roar
Splash is probably more useful. -.-

Carvahna♀ Lv. 15+ Heart gauge: ~4¼ bars.
Just snagged. It came with blackglasses, which I'm going to give to Umbreon.
Shadow Blitz
This awesome move again. ^.^
Shadow Hold
This would be nice if I could transfer it to SS and stop Entei and Raikou... oh, but I cant... DX As for this game, this move is stupid...
????
Type: ??? Name: ???? PP: ??/??... I'm confused just looking at this! DX
????
AGAIN..?! DX Floppy is confused! It hurt itself in its confusion!


There's my team...
A few things:
1. I had to use Teddiursa in battle to purify it, to progress in the game. Every turn, I called it, except for one turn where I accidentally made it attack... oops... (Please don't disqualify me... DX) After that, I spent over $9000 buying cologne for massages for it... after that, I was broke. -.-
2. I used the Grass-Type Seedot in battle a lot, so I could purify and evolve it... I don't see a rule against that, but I think I should add this anyway.
3. I HAD to use Eevee until the third place. Even then I had to use it in a battle for the Moon Shard to activate and evolve it into Umbreon.

Those are the only times I didn't use a dark-type Pokémon... Please tell me if there are any rules against those that I didn't notice... =\

And I just noticed, all the Pokémon I snagged are female... I'm not sure if the Teddiursa is, though...



Thus ends the very fancy update post... ^.^; It'll take me forever to write each of these...

EDIT:
Literally a minute after the this, Houndour got purified... =O
Houndour Lv.18
First shadow Pokémon I'm actually using for the game. Now purified. =D
Faint Attack
Oooh... STAB... never misses... This. Is. Awesome.
Charm
Might actually be helpful, with my team having no counters for Fighting types... =\
Ember
I repeat what I said...
Roar
I STILL think Splash is better. X3
Don't worry Floppy, all of those were fine for now ~
First update! ;D

Started yesterday with my LeafGreen Grass run. Obviously chose Bulbasaur, who rampaged through Brock's team. Caught a Paras in Mt. Moon, beasted through the cave and got stuck at the rival battle in Cerulean City (Pidgeotto and Charmander were difficult). Caught a Bellsprout, wnet to Vermilion City. I cleared the S.S. Anne with ease and used Parasect to beat Lt. Surge (Dig FTW). Caught a Caterpie, trained it to Level 10 so that I had a Flash slave. Erika was the most annoying opponent so far; all three of my Pokémon were Paralyzed or asleep at the end. Giovanni was loleasy, currently in front of the Pokémon Tower.

Weepinbell, Level 36
- Acid
- Vine Whip
- Wrap
- Sleep Powder

Venusaur, Level 35
- Razor Leaf
- Tackle (lol)
- Leech Seed
- PoisonPowder

Parasect, Level 35
- Cut
- Dig
- Giga Drain
- Spore

Not even a normal effective move against all those Gastlys. D=

I also realized that there are only two different Grass types left: Exeggute and Tangela. =/
Yay... update number two! ...Yes, Already... >_< I think I should wait a little lot longer before my next update... =\

Note:
☻ means shadow.
☺ means purified.



Eevee♂ ► Umbreon♂ Lv. 32
Leftovers
Synchronize
Docile

My main Pokémon still. An AWESOME tank. NOTHING has taken this down, and it takes almost NOTHING from anything, even super effective hits.
110 HP, 53 Atk, 78 Def, 52 SpAtk, 100 SpDef, 52 Spd.

Quick attack
Nothing new, still replacing Tackle, though it's an okay-ish priority move. I haven't used it much at all, though. =\
Pursuit
...I haven't got anything to replace this yet... >_< I can't wait until I get Faint Attack...
Bite
It's starting to stop OHKOing everything... grr... why cant you get crunch, Umbreon!? DX
Confuse Ray
Much better than Sand-Attack. ^.^

Seedot♀ ► Nuzleaf♀ ► Shiftry♀ Lv. 33
No Item
Early Bird
Adamant

A pretty good Pokémon... not much else to say... oh, yeah, it evolved since last update. ^.^
104 HP, 86 Atk, 47 Def, 68 SpAtk, 53 SpDef, 66 Spd.

Giga Drain
Primary attacking move. It can take a hit once in a while, so the healing effect is a nice bonus.
Refresh
Why didn't anyone tell me this only works on the Pokémon using it... >.> Oh, well. It did save itself from poisoning once.
Bullet Seed
Still as crappy as ever. Only good when Giga Drain runs out of PP or when I just need to finish something off.
Secret Power
Actually, it does a lot better when Shiftry uses it. ^.^

Houndour Lv.23
No Item
Early Bird
Relaxed

>.< This Pokémon sucks ATM... It cant take a hit... it can barely OHKO anything... it has horrible moves... Maybe I need to train it more. Also, at the time of writing this, it's fainted. XP
55 HP, 38 Atk, 27 Def, 47 SpAtk, 33 SpDef, 32 Spd.

Faint Attack
Oooh... STAB... never misses... Yet. It's. Still. Bad.
Charm
Nope, not helpful. Sorry I got my hopes up. -.-
Flamethrower
Much MUCH better than Ember! ^.^
Roar
Rawr!!!!

Carvahna♀ Lv. 26
Blackglasses
Rough Skin
Careful

Yay for purification. If it wasn't for Houndour, though, this would be my worst Pokémon.
67 HP, 58 Atk, 19 Def, 39 SpAtk, 17 SpDef, 45 Spd.

Water Pulse
Ugh... It's horribly average. DX The Confusion chance is quite nice, though...
Refresh
Meh... Carvahna can barely live a move... A status condition is highly unlikely...
Bite
Floppy snapped out of its confusion! ^.^ Yay, no more question marks. Though it isn't as good as...
Crunch
Repetitive, much? It's a much better move, though.


There's my team...

The rest of my team (Hopefully):
  • Larvitar ► Pupitar ► Tyranitar
    I am currently trying to get a Wooper at the Cave Poké Spot to trade for this...
  • Sableye
    The last snaggable Dark-Type. It's an awesome Pokémon, too.
Checking Bulbapedia, I have found I didn't snag a Poochyena. Oh, well... other than that, I am and am going to be using every Dark-type in the game once I get these...

STORYLINE PROGRESS
Spoiler:
I'm currently in Pyrite town after getting my Snag Machine Stolen.



This post should have EVERYTHING you might want to know about my Pokémon... >.< It's waaaaaaaay too fancy.
Well, I just beat the Elite Four and Champion.

And now I only have 1 more Pokemon to see before I get the National Pokedex: Riolu. I'm currently in Iron Island cave trying to find Riley. However, even after that, I'll keep going with Ice types. Gonna get Eevee and evolve it into Glaceon and go catch a Lapras. Hope to find a female Snorunt eventually.

EDIT: Hatched Riolu, got National Dex, caught Seel and Shellder, and currently soft-resetting for a Timid (preferably female) Eevee.

*Sigh* I hope Gen. 5 brings about stronger non-legendary Ice/Flying types...
I'm going to also do Heart Gold with... wait for it... nothing but 5 unowns and an hm slave :). so, psychic type.
@Aki: Congratulations, you're done. Since you were doing Diamond, it ends at the E4.

@Charquil: Accepted.
