I have a strange habit of starting a new game whenever I beat Fire Red. I trade over all my good Pokémon, then start over using something different. I've gotten some strong Pokémon this way. The second time I started over I ended up having a whole team of them around lv 70, including Blastoise, Flareon, and others. I did this a third time and I beat the elite four, train for a while, and think to myself "meh, forget it, I'll trade them to Emerald and start over." Unfortunately, this time, my gameboy had to be a spaz and not work. Stupid 4-1/2 year old gameboy. The only things I had on my team that made it over were Butterfree (lv 52) and Gengar (lv 60). Now my precious Venasaur, Vaporeon, Nidoking...They are stuck. Plus my link cable is broken, so I can't use that anymore too.
