So, I decided to trade a second box of Charmanders today... Here's the breakdown:
Useless: Wurmple, Surskit, Zigzagoon, Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Makuhita, Electrike, Bunnelby, Wooper, Sewaddle, Skitty, Fletchling, Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Seedot, Torkoal, Slakoth, Weedle, Zigzagoon, Tentacool, Wurmple, Linoone, Wurmple,
Useful: Absol, Swanna, Pidgey, Mudkip,
Awesome: Riolu, Larvesta,
I've always liked Absol, it is a pretty good false swiper, particularly since few legendaries have supereffective moves against its typing. It also has a pretty decent movepool and now that it has a mega evolution it gets even more useful.
Riolu turns into the amazing Lucario, which was a powerhouse even before it gained a mega evolution. Heck, the first pokemon I bred and trained for serious was a Lucario. This Riolu has potential.
Swanna is the better of the late stage flying/water types. But that doesn't say much. While Pelipper is more on the defensive side, Swanna is more offensive. This particular French one knows Bubble Beam, Brave Bird, Air Slash, and Water Pulse. Although it is male, it has potential for breeding.
Larvesta was a surprise, a nice one even. This is Modest Female, but other than that, it isn't really special. Still, it is a rare pokemon, and a pseudo-legendary.
Pidgey is the original three stage bird pokemon, and it is surprisingly good. It also looks awesome when shiny, and the new mega-evolution it got makes it even more awesome.
So, I heard you like Mudkips... Seriously, awesome water starter is awesome, particularly when it gains electicity immunity by gaining the ground type when it evolves. Sure, it gets a x4 vulnerability to grass in return, but it is generally worth it. It also has the best stats of all the Hoenn starters.
Well, it was apparently the night of the wurmples. >.<
Other than that, it was a fairly good haul. Both Riolu and Larvesta are awesome, and Mudkip is so awesome it became a Meme.
Well, I'm out of boxes of Charmanders, time to breed some more...

Not going to double post when I can edit this one.

After breeding a bunch of additional Charmaders, it was time to trade of another 30 on the Wonder Trade... Here's the result:
Useless: Magikarp, Volbeat, Sandshrew, Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Wurmple, Zubat, Poochyena, Whismur, Electrike, Shuppet, Silcoon, Solrock, Seedot, Oddish, Magikarp, Weedle, Pikachu, Zigzagoon,
Useful: Female Ralts, Espurr, Male Ralts, Gastly, Gible, Solosis, Eevee, Staravia, Kadabra/Alakazam, Larvitar, Munchlax,
Ralts, as I have mentioned earlier, evolves into two really awesome pokemon.
Espurr is a pretty awesome, and that stare....
Gastly eventually becomes Gengar, which was awesome even before it gained a Mega evolution.
Gible! Shark Dragon! Woot! Seriously, it is one awesome dragon. Well, it becomes an awesome dragon.
Solosis is the start of a fairly decent three stage psychic pokemon.
Eevee is possible the one pokemon with most potential, no less than eight possible evolutions (currently), giving it a massive move pool.
Staravia is the second evolution in one of the best normal/flying type lines. It is pretty damn awesome.
Kadabra evolved into an Alakazam, it is a pretty powerful psychic type.
Larvitar is the first stage of the second pseudo-legendary type. As such it evolves into a pretty powerful pokemon, that got a serious upgrade in the 6 Gen due to its new Mega_Evolution. This one comes with a number of awesome egg moves: Outrage, Stealth Rock, Pursuit, and Dragon Dance.
Ok, I admit it, I love Munchlax. As Normal types go, it is pretty good, it's evolution is even better. This one knows Metronome.
Nothing truely amazing or WTF worthy today, however, I did get some useful stuff. Solosis and Munchlax are among the pokemon I need to get the shiny charm on ORAS, and that Larvitar has some serious potential. The rest are Meh.
