I got through the elite four, I did it without one of my pokemon dying lol. Zapdose was great durring the first one, then Pidgeot helped me through the bruno guy. Moewth was the star durring Agatha (I think thats her name, i was playing while recovering from getting my wisdome teeth pulled today, So i was kind of out of it) Then Vaporeon and Charizard took down the last guy easily. Then Gary was just simple.

You should restart Ruby so we can be pals going through that one again, that would be cool if we could battle our pokemon lol.

You should level up your pokemon to atleast 50 lol. Well actually that will take to long and I want you to start Ruby with me. I think I am going to just restart Crystal. Even though I got eight badges I forgot the whole game by now and I think I will just restart it after I beat Ruby.

How do i get to the other islands? I tried to go back to the elite four but I just beat them again... I thought you couldnt play them again until you do the islands so i figured thats where I would get the pass:confused:

Congratulations on the elite 4! Very nice not to lose anyone lol yeah it's Agatha, poor you for having the teeth out At least you had something to do whilst recovering Nice one to Meowth too! It just shows that any pokemon (well almost) can still be used in your team effectively - I'm guessing it was shadow ball that helped a lot there

Are you going to start Ruby now? because yes I'll start again to - just make sure you tell me when you're going to start I never got crystal, with it being the same almost as gold/silver - I'd love to do silver again but my games mucked up somehow - it doesn't save any more old age I suppose. But Ruby yes, well I'll do Sapphire - and yes I will start again - I did four badges on my last game which is way further than I thought so I'd prefer to start again rather than carry on

Hehe, so you've done them twice already I always find it funny that even after you become champion, you have to take the title from gary again like you've never had it To get to the other islands, you have to speak to prof oak I think - If I remember rightly, you need 60 on the pokedex before you can do this...I'm guessing you don't have that - I think he tells you to come by his lab when you get 60 or something. Also, another thing to do after the other islands, other than Mewtwo is the elite 4 again - they get quite a bit stronger (all up 10 levels or something including Gary and they gain new pokemon) so that's like a final challenge

I probably wont start ruby until I finish recovering, I hurt alot from it, and I dont want to be in pain when I restart ruby. I will let you know a couple days in advanced before I start it.

I never got gold silver, I had a time where I fell out of pokemon, and then i got back into it when I was like a sophmore in highschool when Ruby came out. Are gold and silver good?

Yea I am trying to catch sixty pokemon, it sucks big time! I will write more a little later, I am all hurty from my teeth being pulled.

Aww poor you Actually don't worry about starting it though - I'm off on holiday tommorow til Friday so won't be able to speak anyway Don't let me stop you starting if you want though, it'd just be nice if we went together...that sounded a little mushy

Gold and Silver are the same game as Crystal - just without the whole Suicune influence basically - it's like the yellow version of the original red/blue game - crystal just has tweaks added over gold/silver. I sort of went in and out of Pokemon really - whenever a new game arrived I was suddenly back into it again

60 is quite a large hall actually - I don't think I'm gonna get there either - I'm on 44 atm I think. One thing you can do to speed things up is evolve a few pokemon that are really easy to evolve - i.e caterpie and weedle (caterpie you've done already though) or the stone evolvers - pikachu, growlithe, gloom etc - all the evolved forms add another entry to the dex so it saves you catching loads. The safari zone is good for it too - having quite a variety of pokemon in there

I'm still training atm I was going to aim for 50 but for now I'll do 45 before Sabrina - now that I'm training nine, it's taking ages!

I hope you're feeling better soon - and until Friday/saturday depending on when I get back, I must bid you farewell I'll look forward to the restart though

Dont worry, I will wait until you get back to restart it lol. Its good to have a pokemon friend to talk with durring playing.

Hiya! I'm back - great holiday

I hope you're feeling better

Thanks for waiting It'll be more interesting going through the game with somebody else

I took my fire red with me...just for car journey use etc
I've finally got everyone to 45, slaughtered Sabrina - I was suprised how low her levels were...and on the way back today, I did Blaine and most of the islands - just Moltres to get now and then it's just Giovanni and the elite 4 It certainly does go fast after Sabrina.

Have you been getting your pokedex up etc?

Yea, while I have been recovering, I have been catching pokemon. I have tried to do the islands, but it gets kind of weird and confusing. I got to the point where I am trying to get into the rocket ware house, but I cant find the second password anywhere. It pisses me off lol. I have 70 pokemon. I just ended up starting catching pokemon in order to have something to do while I waited for you to get back. Now I want to capture mewtwo before I even start Ruby though, and I dont know how to find the stupid password lol.

Glad you are back, yes I am doing better, just a little sore and stuff.

Glad you're feeling better

Nice one for the amount you've caught - must've taken a while

To get into the rocket base, first you do all of the Lorelei stuff on island 4 - I'm guessing this is the bit you've done? - then the second password you get on island 6.
You go to the southern end of island 6 where there's a ruin. I think it has a door with some braille on? which if I remember rightly, it says CUT so use cut to get inside. Then you just fall down the correct holes to get to the bottom and meet a scientist who gives you the password. Then you can finish the rocket warehouse and be done with the islands

Yup you may as well finish it properly now - catching Mewtwo, redoing the improved elite 4 (maybe ) etc. It's so annoying when you get completely stuck I remember when I did Silver the first time, I got stuck after the fourth gym leader cos I could not find surf...infuriating

I never did silver or gold, or whatever one goes with that. I always wanted to but like i said I did the original red and then my next pokemon game was ruby so I skipped that whole generation of game. Did I miss anything good? I hope they remake them so I can play them.

Thanks for telling me about the rocket password. I think I will be able to finish tonight then. No I dont think I want to go through the elite four again, no point really I think I will just start ruby again if you are ready to. I just hate the first three pokemon... I think I might get mudkip because I did it with torchick first, but I just HATE treeko for some reason lol. Are you ready to start the new game?

Silver/gold were alrite - most of the new pokemon in that game weren't all that great though...the storyline was pretty decent (well similar to all the others really ) but you never seemed to level very high, with it being quite a short game. I'm sure I used to struggle to get my team to lvl 40 by the last gym It would be nice to see them remade actually - I can't play mine now anyway so a new version would be great They made fire red/leaf green after all so maybe it's a possibility

That's alrite That'll be good to finally finish I STILL haven't caught Moltres - it's causing me so much grief - Zapdos and Articuno I caught on the first attempt (although Arti took a lot of great/ultra balls to get ) but I've tried Moltres so many times now! - the ball hasn't even wobbled three times!

So yup, I'm ready when you are for Ruby/Sapphire Yeah I'm not keen on the three starters either. I think I've already got my team roughly planned from what I remember anyway Ah ok yeah I suppose it might be better to try Mudkip just for a change...I was going to have one of the other two anyway so you having Mudkip is good for me Can't quite decide out of Treeko and Torchic at the moment. Torchic's second evolution is putting me off but then again so is Treeko before it evolves lol

I'll let you get the fire red finished for today then and then start my Sapphire tommorow? does that work alrite for you?

Yea, we can start the new game tomorrow thats fine.

Sorry about Moltress, I havent caught articuno because I just didnt go through the cave or wherever he is at.

LV 40 by the last gym? How many gyms were there? That isnt very hight at all lol.

I like torchicks first form, he is kinda cute and a little chick,but then he grows into a fat ugly chicken, and then a human/wolf thing.... very strange. I think he is the strangest pokemon in the series lol.

I think mudkip evolves into good pokemon right? I couldnt play red yesterday so I am planning on catching mewtwo and finishing tonight, then we can start tomorrow so thats a good plan.

Ah kk - Articuno is in the seafoam islands in the sea between Fuschia and Cinnabar island.

That's eight gyms like normal, no it isn't very high at all The gym leaders do use lower levelled pokemon, 40 being the highest but it means that some things don't even get to evolve into their final stage Ruby/Sapphire will be quite a bit lower than fire red to actually, not as low as 40 though Not having vs seeker cuts the amount you can train down a fair bit

Yup Torchick is quite nice but yup the fat ugly chicken is the one I hate the most I don't mind Blaziken but yeah it does look very strange. Jynx still takes the number one spot on my strangest list though I think I think I'm gonna have Treeko at the beginning...I'll just have to put up with it til it evolves cos when it does I don't mind it

Yup Mudkip evolves into Marshtomp and then Swampert which yes it is a good pokemon - I don't like it much, but I don't like any of them much . It's type is very good - water/ground making it have only 1 weakness (grass) and it learns some decent attacks too

Ok then, tommorow it is I wish you luck with Mewtwo if you're not using the master ball...if you are then you don't need it Are you going to nickname your team? I did in fire red this time around

I dont normally nickname my pokemon, because when i went through the original red in like sixth grade. I lost track of what pokemon is what because i nicknamed them all. But since I only plan on getting pokemon for my team i think I will try to nickname them again.

No VS seeker? Is that horrible? How can you even level up enough? that sucks so much. I hate fighting wild pokemon you dont get any exp.

Yea I am using the master ball. I havent even found that ice dog thing and I dont really want to catch it when I do.

Hehe yeah nicknames can get confusing Ok, yup I'll nickname my team as well then yeah I'm certainly not gonna train nine of them this time That took way too long to get them all raised properly

I'm afraid so yes - no vs seeker which means wild pokemon are the only option which is of course why your levels are always lower. Just make the most of fighting every trainer I suppose I think there may be a sort of vs seeker actually - part of your pokegear or something lists some of the trainers you've already fought and occasionally they fight you again...not that often though but it may help a tad

Nope I've never found my dog before either and Mewtwo is such a pain to catch otherwise so good idea really

Hey, sorry I havent been on in a couple days. I did catch Mewtwo and I am ready to start Ruby, did you already start it? I am planning on starting it tomorrow night when I am getting ready to go to sleep.

That sucks with no VS seeker, gosh I am not looking forward to raising my pokemon in that game.

I love Diamond because there are those times where you team up with friends and they continue to keep your pokemon healthy, I always train hard when they are there because you can just keep battling without having to worrya bout pokecenters.
