Destiny Combining...
i thought i probably could challenge the elite 4 for the second time just to get these pokemon trained and get champ ribbons
Mewtwo
Rayquaza
Mew
Groudon
Darkrai
Kyogre
and i shall tell you how each battle went:
Aaron
Easy as pi. All of his buggies fell to rayquaza's fly and drapion died from groudons earthquake
Bertha
Slightly harder. Mewtwo OHKO'ed whiscash with energy ball, and kyogre handled the rest with surf
Flint
Moderately harder. I sent out kyogre first to start the neverending rainstorm, but houndoom used sunny day, so 2 surfs and houndoom was out. Switched to groudon who handled all but switched to kyogre for magmortar, kyogre OHKO'ed magmortar with hydro pump, then mewtwo finished off flareon with psychic
Lucian
Hardest. My mewtwo took care of the first two, then rayquaza took down all except brinzong with outrage, groudon used three hits of fireblast to KO bronzong
Champion Cynthia
VeryHARD easy. all my pokemon worked together to OHKO every 1 of Cynthias pokemon.
so they got into the hall of fame and now they are
Mewtwo lv 90 (10 more til 100!)
Rayquaza lv 78 (12 more!)
Mew lv 45 (45 more!)
Groudon lv 72 (18 more!)
Darkrai lv 64 (6-16 more!)
Kyogre lv 71 (19 more!)
im trying to get them all to at least level 90, then get them to lv 100
now i am off to train darkrai a little more, capture heatran, capture zapdos, moltres, and cresselia, and capture azelf. after those legendaries are caught, i will have all in game obtainable legendaries! then just need emerald latias, XD lugia to be purified) i shall soon have all legendaries except latios, deoxys, jirachi, celebi, ho oh, and the legendary dogs!

Traded everything over from Platinum to Diamond now restarting on Platinum with an all water team. Spent like the last two hours resetting to try and get a Calm-natured Piplup but it hasn't happened yet. :/
Once I get that, I'm gonna trade over Staryu, Barboach, Feebas and Magikarp eggs and I don't know what I want in my last slot.

I bought this game yesterday! Enjoying it so far. 
I did the usual stuff, had some trouble with a few trainers and especially Gardenia. Grr! Her Cherrim is brutal!
Team-wise, I'm not doing so good. Only have 1 final team member confirmed so far.
Name: Chris
Badges: 2
Team:
Cascade, Prinplup, level 22.
Ponyta, level 17
Kazza, Kadabra, level 16
Nothing great so far XD

That was disappointing. I flew to Hearthome and made my way down to Pastoria via Route 212 and only raised my Pokemon levels by one point. I caught two Pikachu along the way, and the male had a Light Ball! I quickly bred them and made a VT Pichu. Naive nature; quick to flee. Good enough for me.
I EV-trained Pichu, got it to level 32 along with the rest of my other Pokemon, evolved it, and attempted Wake again. One level is apparently a massive difference, as my Pokemon weren't all immediately OHKO'd this time around. Well, Pikachu was, but Roselia managed to get a Magical Leaf in there and won. Kind of ironic, since the whole point of getting Pikachu was because Roselia was too slow for Floatzel. Oh well.
Going to go to the route with the Psyduck next, but first I'm going to do something productive.

Poison Jab
Fire Punch
Mud Bomb (need something better here)

I am also getting ready to chain some Cubone to find one with Thick Club and to get a shiny one.

I've defeated Flint, Lucian and Cynthia, thus completing the advanced League Challenge. Cynthia was annoying to beat because she would withdraw all the time. Her pokemon went down easily however.
Managed to catch a couple of male swarm Elektrikes, one of which I'm evolving later.

Shadow Tepi 8
Prince of Blue
I continued leveling-up my Latios today. I defeated all the trainers in the Battleground to elevate him to Lv. 96. I then went to battle the Pokemon League with, getting his level up to 98.
I also began leveling up my Milotic. I finished EV training him earlier and am leveling him up by battling the trainers around Route 226 and 227. He is currently on Lv. 56.
I did several attempts to capture the last two roaming Pokemon left - Moltres and Articuno. I failed to catch either but I came very close to catching Moltres with a Quick Ball.
I also did some random chaining of Electrike, as I had the swarm today. I moved Raichu to my party and began chaining, managing to get the chain up to 34. It broke when a Pachirisu appeared. Oh well :/

Been breeding to get that elusive Naive mixed Riolu/Lucario.
So far have a contender, but the 31 Speed IV is practally a necessity, but at least being female and having a Naive nature with 31 IVs in ATK, SP.ATK, and SP.DEF. Will be beeding her with my male with 31 IVs in SP.ATK, SP.DEF, and SPEED to hopefully get one that is Naive with Steadfast and 31 IVs in ATK, SP.ATK, and SPEED.

I wasn't liking my current file, so I decided to do one final restart.
I named my Player Eusine, after the Crystal character. (Plus, I really like Suicune) I decided to use Piplup because its the only starter I haven't tried yet. Beat the first gym easily, and caught an Abra.
I've just beat the Windworks, and Abra evolved. I'm trading it over the GTS for another Kadabra, so I can have an Alakazam.
Current Team:
Prinplup
Kadabra (Soon to be Alakazam)
Future Team
Empoleon
Alakazam
Umbreon
Tangrowth
Suicune (Hopefully someone will trade me one later in my game)

Got my water only playthrough up to Oreburgh and my team atm is:
Lv. 16 Prinplup (Calm)
Lv. 16 Magikarp (Adamant)
Lv. 1 Staryu (Modest)
Lv. 1 Feebas (Modest)
Just hatched Staryu and Feebas, but I'm gonna wait until Magikarp evolves before I start training Staryu and try and evolve Feebas. I'm gonna wait a while before I fill my last two slots as I'm still not sure what to use.

I went to Mt. Coronet and fished on about 3/4 of the tiles. Then I got bored. I decided to fish on a random tile in the places I hadn't tried yet, and I found that! I purely guessed the Feebas tile!
I caught two females in Dive Balls, then I saved my game. I then SRed until I caught a Female Modest nature Feebas caught in a Dive Ball, and got it on the 3rd SR.
Then, later on, it was 23h57, and I re-opened my game quickly to catch two male ones. I actually was lucky enough to find two Male Feebas in a row instead of the usual Gyarados and Whiscash, so now I got 4 female Feebas (One evolved into Milotic) and two males.
I'm going to keep one Male and two Females (Feebas♀, Milotic♀ and Feebas ♂) and give two female Feebas and one male to my friend, so he can have one + have a couple to breed more.
My Milotic's stats are: Modest Nature, 18/29/1/22/13/28 with Hidden Power "Water."
Today, I fished in Mt. Coronet to catch an Adamant Male Magikarp in a Net Ball.
Here are it's stats: Adamant Nature, 7/21/16/13/23/10 with Hidden Power "Psychic."

Today I, for the first time since I got the game, entered the Battle Frontier. And quite frankly, I was blown away; the music and the aesthetics were just incredible, especially for a Pokemon game. I went to the Battle Tower and beat 7 trainers easily (it was the first time, after all) and now I'm in the Battle Factory doing the Open Level challenge. The Factory Brain appears in the Open Level Challenge, right?
Compared to what real competitive battling is like, most of the beginning Pokemon are novel, but still, they're better than the crap you started with in the Emerald Battle Frontier. Makes me wonder if the Pokemon get much better even if I trade a lot because it didn't seem like they did in my old Emerald game (unless the amount of times you trade only applies to your current streak...if that makes sense).
After this, I will progress through the game, completing the Stark Mountain sidequest...and there's some other sidequest SOMEWHERE that I need to do...oh yeah, I need to escort that one chick through Victory Road as well. Once I do those two things, I will begin chaining for some shinies.

I started a file on monday using all water pokemon and i could have used none of them in gen 4. (All to do with a bet with my brother) To futher the challenge I could only use the same no. of pokemon as the gym leader I was battling when I reached them.
Anyway, today I beat Fantina to get my third badge with my Horsea evolving knocking out her mismagius. I've just beat my rival and caught a random encounter shiny budew outside of hearthome. Next up is to find an elusive dragon scale on pearl and send it over. Also, I'm training everything up to at least level 40 for the match against Maylene.

It's a mystery.
Not much has happened...but yeah, here are my recent happenings~!
~ I fully finished ev-training my shiny Lopunny and I continued ev-training my shiny Floatzel.
~ I kept having rematches with the gym leaders to level up my other Pokemon.
~ I caught a Jolly-natured male Kirlia near Mr. Backlot's mansion and I plan to evolve it into a Gallade once I find a Dawn Stone.
~ I managed to transfer my shiny Glaceon from my Diamond to Platinum, with the help of my same interwebz bestie. ^-^;
(Btw, the shinies I've listed here on my post...they're all legit, as I've caught them in their pre-evolved forms under random encounters.)
