I got it for christmas ages ago. :lol:

Where the fuck is the 5th gym?

hmm yes the old pokemon thing....





i got ruby then i stopped caring

Hearthome City. Remember? Where the purple-haired chick said you're not strong enough to take her on yet?

Okay, I went there earlier though it wasn't the right gym. So i'll just fly there.....

I've been trying to beat the goddamn pokemon league for two days now, but some of my pokemon are too damn wea to keep up. Hopefully I'll beat it sometime today, since I got the champion down to her last pokemon when I last played.

I just got my Diamond today. I imported it from America. :D

Awesome. How do ya like it so far? :D

And whoo! I beat the league! Finally!

I bought the game about a week ago and it's pretty fun. After not ploaying the series for a while, it good to reminisce. The controls are easy and so far I love the pokemon I have already.

The thing after Shinx (nicknamed it Sphinx)
Grotle (nicknamed it Bowser)
Meditite (nicknamed it Midna)
Ponyta (nicknamed it Epona)
Buizel (have not nicknamed it)

and those are probably my favorites... so far.
I'm fairly good into the game. I have my first two gym badges (which isn't far, I'm sure) but I am progressing fiarly well with my pokemon so... I'm happy with it!

I stopped enjoying those games after yellow silver and gold. They were fun, but the creators ran out of names quickly, and then the got uncreative... I think they had a 'nosemon' with a big nose or something.
I would play the old ones again, though. I liked how you could get the Pikachew(sp?) to follow you around everywhere.

I actually think they got more creative with the pokemon. I prefer some of the newer ones over the older ones, myself. Although slowpoke will always be my favorite :p.

Twas Nosepass, actually.

What I thought was a cheaper name was Chimchar. Chimpanzee + Charmeleon. Just to silly for Toe.

OK. If anyone wants to post their friend code, do so.

Also, I'm at the 5th gym.

Almost got the 8th badge, in the Gym as we speak. I have:
Blumbo the Drifblim
Zircon the Bronzong
Tidus the Manaphy
Gaia the Torterra
Remedi the Vespiquen
Aero the Togekiss

I only cheated two of those in, I swear! I couldn't resist, sorry. Manaphy from the egg, and just plain using an encounter mod for Togekiss...at least I didn't make them shiny as well.
Togekiss sounds WEIRD. It sorta suits it, but it makes you "WTF?"

Chimcharmander. Gettit? Heh, heh...D:

Infernape was okay, but I just think Blaziken is far superior in the Fire/Fighting department :D Go Blazey!

Oh, and lol, I caught Dialga on my first Ultra ball. I was expecting that fight be somewhat difficult.

My team currently consists of:

Poseidon the Empoleon
Tulip the Roserade
Helium the Drifblim
Bootleg the Pachirisu
ZzZ the Kadabra
Giratina (I don't like nicknaming the legendaries for some reason)

I'm trying to level up some of the other ones I have in my PC storage thingamabob though, as most of them are below level 50.

And does anyone know how the Map Marker Poketch application works? I've been trying to find Cresselia with it, but I haven't a clue how to use it.

My favourite pokemon is Breloom. Nuff' said. But anyway, i might be getting pearl on Friday or Saturday depending on when the game comes.

Breloom was my favorite back when I played Ruby. I haven't a clue why, though.

That's the only Pokemon name that I recognize from this thread! That guy was sooo cool!
And why do you nickname, it's so stupid.

Well, it may be stupid in your opinion, but I nickname them mainly because the caps lock versions of their names annoy the shit out of me. Don't ask me why, but seeing an obnoxious "Go KADABRA!" or "Go DRIFBLIM!" everytime I send one of them out to battle makes me want to smack someone. It's like talking to some twelve-year-old in an AOL chatroom.

If anybody wants to trade/battle/what ever.

My friend code is: 1847-8197-1747

Well that's why I nicknamed my TURTWIG Turtwig. Nicknames are otherwise entirely stupifo.

Yeah, Snuzi, I know what you mean. I do remember having the annoying caps letters. But can't you just name them their same name without the caps?
It just always bugged me for some reason, to have a name other than the original name of the character, or for your main guy to be anything other than what his name was in the actual stories (I can't remember what his name was) I guess I'm just weird in that way.:p
And can you seriously trade through ID numbers, and without link cables, in the new ones? When did that start (As I mentioned I've only played up until Silver/Gold), and how does it work?

Well, you can do that, but then you'd have, for example, an Alakazam named Abra :p. You could always go and change the name, but you'd have to find the name rater, and to remain consistent, keep changing the name as they evolve. I just don't want to deal with that, so I always think up a random, not-so-clever name for each of them.

And I believe that the trading and battles can be done through the WiFi feature if you know a person's friend ID. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how it works, as I don't have the WiFi feature as of yet :(.

Hmm, I see. Does it cost money to go and change the name?

And about the WiFi thing, I think that so awesome! Does it cost money to get that little extra feature, and do you need wireless internet for this?

Fortunately, no, it doesn't. If it did, then that'd just be aridiculous rip off :p.

I've been told that it is free, but you need some sort of router in order to use it.

Or just wireless internet, I heard. But the best router is some Buffalo thing, I think, designed specifically with the DS in mind. I'm worried that when I do get online, I may be slightly screwed as my microphone is sorta f*cked (2nd hand DS, otherwise it is perfect). I didn't use to like nicknaming Pokemon, but now I'm irritated if I don't. Dunno why.

One of the best DS features: wireless. No more retards at school threatening to pull cables out :D The p*icks.

Importing teams from Ruby=good. But whya re the legendaries so much harder to catch now? That stupid Azelf ended up killing itself against me before I caught the stupid thing >.< I'm doing other things instead at the mo.

I had the same problem with Azlef. I just gave up on catching it eventually, since I was more concerned with getting the NationalDex than catching it.

I'm at the point where I have to get to a lake. Though there are rocks in my way! "THe rock may be moved by a pokemon" What do i do?

You need to teach the HM Strength to one of your pokemon in order for one of them to be able to move the boulder.

WHERE DO I GET IT?
