I like how the guy that started the thing says he just "had to speak up" like he's dropping some sort of giant truth bomb on the rest of us brainwashed morons. Fight the powa!!!

He's the voice of the voiceless. Who else will speak up for the Pokemon oppressed?

Who will save the Pokemon [fanbase]? Gotta save 'em. Gotta save 'em all.
Use dusk balls?

Not in Gen III. Timer Balls are best.

You have to do the Ruby/Sapphire side-quest to get some of the items to appear in the shop.
I beat the whole game, E4 rematches and everything.

Is it possible to get multiple Genesects since they are a WiFi download? If so, I would get one and trade it to my old Black save and start a new game and get another one. That way I could just give you the extra one!
I'd appreciate it!
Having not long ago done another B/W playthrough, I'm just not ready for more Pokémons. I don't want to get burnt out.

Aw man, I missed the Gen Wars? Sleep; my greatest foe!
I told you the thread slogan should have been Gen Wars Episode V 
(The actual title is really really good though.)

Just beat PKMN Trainer Red in my current run of Heart Gold!
Playtime: 34:30
Badges: 16
Pokedex: 82
Team:
Steve Jobs - Lv. 62 (Elekid)
"The Best" - Lv. 55 (Meganium)
Shirahoshi - Lv. 57 (Corsola)
Arino ★ - Lv. 55 (Snorlax)
Bubba - Lv. 70 (Lugia)
Obama - Lv. 71 (Ho-Oh)
Switch-Ins:
Natsumi ♥ - Lv. 51 (Furret)
Aki - Lv. 50 (Magcargo)
Samus Aran - Lv. 38 (Sandslash)
The Boss - Lv. 51 (Stantler)
Utsukushii - Lv. 30 (Red Gyarados)
It's been about 13 hours of game time since I last posted an update on my current GameCenter CX inspired Heart Gold run and I've loved every minute of it. The epic capture of Bubba the Lugia and the fights against Janine, Blue's Pidgeot and Red's Snorlax stand out as some of the highlights of the run through Kanto.
I had my friend trade me his Elekid for the fight with Red simply because I wanted to have Elekid vs. Pikachu, the Johto standard basic electric Pokemon vs. Kanto's. I think I'm going to hold onto the little guy, haha.
Had way less of a problem with Red than I did with the E4 the first time around. Having Ho-Oh and Lugia with me helped I'm sure but Shirahoshi took down huge chunks of Red's Charizard and Lapras despite being severely under-leveled.
All of the Pokemon that I listed above have really made an impact on me as both a trainer and a fan of the games. This run alone has turned some Pokemon I initially despised like Furret, Stantler, Meganium and Magcargo into some of my favorite Pokemon and I have a newfound appreciation for Ho-Oh as well.
Also, I always used to avoid putting HMs on my Pokemon in the past but now I realize just how much easier and more fun it is to actually give them your favorite and most used Pokemon. Between my team and standard switch-ins, I have every HM so I never really have to worry about going to the PC and picking up an HM slave. Way more convenient.
I have a few things I have in mind to do before I make my next progress post.
1. Get my Kanto starter from Professor Oak (Charmander or Squirtle).
2. Get my Hoenn starter from Steven (Mudkip or Torchic).
3. Play a ton of the Pokeathalon.
4. Go trio hunting (legendary dogs and legendary birds).
Regarding the Kanto and Hoenn starters, I want them to pair with my Meganium, that's why I said either the fire type or water type, whichever I don't choose at Oak's, I'll choose at Silph Co. with Steven.
After those things are accomplished, I'll write up another progress post and I'm planning to have my fourth and final one revolve around the capture of Kyogre and Mewtwo.
Seriously, what an incredible game Heart Gold is.

Ok so I looked it up and apparently restarting your game will wipe the Wonder cards you have.
The good news is you can reacquire them, provided they are still being distributed.

A Meganium named "The Best?"

A level 62 Elekid? sounds rather gruelling.

I got it at level 30 something so trade EXP bonus + it's more powerful than Pikachu = quite easy. Thunderpunch, Flash, Low Kick and Discharge is a deadly combo in-game.
I nicknamed it that because that's what Arino named his. Ended up getting used to it so it stuck, lol.

But didn't it spend most of the late game getting one shot by anything that breathes on it? well you made it work I guess.
More powerfull then Pikachu? Not if you use a light ball.

Elekid's BST is 360. Pikachu's BST is 300. Give Elekid a Zap Plate and you're good to go.
Exp. Share is your friend. Got him right as I started the Kanto gym run and had him on my team the whole time.
Elekid's Max Sp.ATK = 251
Pikachu's Max Sp.ATK = 218
251 x 1.2 = 301
218 x 2 = 436
The Gap in Physical stats is even bigger.
So no, Zap-Plated Elekid is not better than Light Balled Pikachu. Pikachu also has a better movepool, boasting stuff like Extremespeed. Elekid does have the elemental punches, so it's not a complete washout.

You're right. The better Dark type is obviously Zoroark.

Zoroark; the Pokemon that's so ashamed of itself it hides as any other Pokemon, up to and including Dunsparce.
It's not the better anything.

Krokorok is cooler than the Krook, a damn shame really.

More like Zoroark; so awesome it can only be obtained through an event, had its own movie, and was the first Gen V Pokemon ever revealed. Suck on that, other Dark type Pokemon of Gen V.
Tyranitar is my favourite Dark type.
Charmander, & Mudkip imo.
Congrats on beating Red, I really like the team you used. Unique and creative.

I thought we were talking about Gen V Dark types. If we're not, then i'd like to change my vote to Darkrai. One of my all time favorite Pokemon.

Good! I think I'll get a few extra Genesects before starting my real game.
Anyone with just the original B/W should let me know if they want one!
Man that's a lot of work, don't you need to beat at least the first gym before you can trade?
