Had a little hiatus the past few days, and whenever I have played I've gotten no further. xP
Can't remember if I said in my last update but after getting my team of 24 in the HoF and my origional 6 from my first runthrough of HG (excluding Kanto) I went to pick up my S.S. ticket and announced finally going to Kanto. - This was with a play time of 225 hours. My play time is now 267 hours and I still have not boarded the S.S. Anne. xDDD
What have I done instead?
I decided to train a couple more pokemon and knock a few of my 24 out. And um... after mucch deliberation I kept 6 of my 24. xDDD
I decided to train; Kabuto, Horsea, Sudowoodo, 4 Rotom (added to my first one meant 1 for each appliance), Shellder, Grimer, Anorith, Chinchou, Dunsparse and the event Jirachi.
And to assist my training I thought I'd collect the other Power items. (traded a power lens over very early in game) And decided for the first time I'd fully EV train, and check IV's and natures. And that's been the past 42 hours of gameplay it seems.
The Frontier was fun. I never owned Platinum so it was new to me. I decided to build up points in the Arcade, and without realising it I got a win streak of 29! And beat Dahlia. 8D Then when that steak ended I moved onto the Battle Hall and beat what's-her-face with Ursaring and then tried with Cradily to get up to 55 BP. ^_^
So I have 2 silver seals and I wasn't even aiming for them 8DD - This is an amazing achievement as I only got the silver at the Battle Pike in Emerald. Though I met 3 other heads, I lost to them all.
I also discovered the IV checking man, so I took each and every one of my pokemon to him and moved all 'decent' pokemon into their own box. - Very sad that these included my Tangrowth, Jynx, Victrebel, Gengar, Slowbro, Venusaur and Electabuzz. - All these will be breeded to perfection before I retake the E4 though, because I loved them and will still use them occasionally anyway.
Then I moved out all the average ones that I didn't like as much and the ones with terrible IVs. Only one I'll really miss of those is Dodrio.
I then rumaged though my boxes, and a few from Pearl and found that I had alot of superior and 1 outstanding pokemon that I hadn't touched. Picked out a few tht I didn't want to train as much and my current team stands as;
Level: 'Mon
1: Rotom, Chinchou
14: Scyther, Pinsir
16: Charmeleon
17: Magneton
19: Dunsparse, Rotom
24: Gligar
32: Jirachi, Kabuto, Ursaring
37: Pidgeot - He returns after being ditched after Pryce along with Ursaring!
43: Lickilicky
44: Heracross, Raichu (Fly), Kangaskhan, Rotom (These are the 6 returning from Johto with Nidoqueen)
45: Ho-oh
47: Parasect (Suctor)
48: Nidoqueen
49: Exeggcutor (Cocoacutor)
50: Yanmega, Cresselia, Regirock, Regice -Regis and Cresselia I had never trained before. Regi's were useful at the fronteir
51: Registeel
61: Granbull
94: Cradily (Yillan) - Hopefully will be my first level 100 pokemon since Pokemon Yellow. xDD He's my walking partner, hence being 40 levels above ever'one.
Obviously everyone above level 50 were traded along with Chameleon and Kabuto was bred from a traded Kabuto.
27 of these will be my Kanto team once they all reach level 45. Granbull and Yillan will cameo after the next 8 gyms.
And my level 1 Rotom will become the lawnmower and I'll nickname it Mowtom. :3 Which written out looks like Mewtwo. xD
Once these all reach level 45 I'll finally set foot in Kanto. - probably nearing 300 hours play time. xDD On top of the 80 from my first run.
This is a record play time for me. Since I always do re-runs of the games, so the record is probably Peal with 230. (or my first pokemon Yellow runthrough that had the level 100 Pikachu) Iunno the time of that.
But this is the first time I've noticed I have 2 stars on my trainer card. - I must of on Ruby because I beat all 5 master contests, but I do not remember it and it was saved over long ago.
I wonder when I'll fit in all the breeding I have planned...
