I asked about a portable Pokedex a few days ago, and it seems that somebody was listening.
Only thing that's missing is type effectiveness.

Rocked old man Pryce's ass with the Typholosion that evolved in the gym itself before him. Fire Blast + Three pokemon = asshole torn a new one.
Dude took out my Typholosion with his Dewgong, throw out Muscle (about a couple levels under it). I knew Pryce was going to full heal so I "MUSCLE IS GETTING PUMPED!" that turn. Set up revenge, Dewgong Auroa Beams.
"OSHIT OSHIT OSHIT--NO!"
(Muscle Survives the Beam)
Muscle used Revenge!
(Smack)
SSSSSSHHHHHHHHOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM... BOOM! 0 HP
Dewgong has fainted!
So awesome. :lol Gotta do the Radio Tower in a bit, hopefully doesn't take long so I can get to the next gym and worry about the E4 and finally get to Kanto. >_>

Nice job, Aero. I did that at one point from the first 151, but I started to realise that I had to have at least 8 boxes for my EV trained, IV bred Pokemon (4 for teams, 4 for 'reserves' and breeding stuff like dittos and synchronizers).. so.. I wouldn't really have the space. :lol

I'm being pushed more and more into buying HG in addition to my SS and this may be the deciding issue. :lol

Really, like someone above said, Starmie is overall much better, but Octillery is so much cooler. I ended up using one for my first playthrough of the JPN HeartGold because I had never used one before...pretty kickass.
If you're going for a competitive team, though, use Starmie.

Whoo-hoo! Just took down the champ. Really glad he didn't have/use
since my best two Pokemon would've died easily. The first few Elite 4 members got a lot of accuracy hax despite my Sand Attack efforts. But I got a lot of beneficial parahax in the last battle so it balances out.

Doing some grinding before attempting the 8th gym. 26 hours so far. Not nearly as long to get to the Elite 4 as Platinum and Diamond took, but having Kanto afterwards makes up for it.
The nostalgia isn't hitting me the same way it is for you guys. I played Silver back when it came out and adored it, playing SoulSilver now isn't giving me the same feeling as the original, feels too sterile in terms of tone and style.
I'm still loving it though, possibly the best Pokemon game since G/S.

It's perfectly usable. Lacks location rates and type effectiveness, though. Could also use some usability tweaking. Hopefully updates will amend those issues.OMG Aero said:
Especially useful for me, since I don't have internet on the go. But always have my DS/iPhone with me.

Conscious choice on his part maybe?cvxfreak said:Something I never quite understood:
Why did Blue get demoted to Viridian Gym Leader, while Bruno, Koga and Lance, who were both defeated by Blue, moved up in ranking? Even Koga was always a strange choice for moving up, since Sabrina would totally toast him and then some.

Technically speaking, you can decline on being a Pokemon Master. I mean sure, you can record the title, but then you can decline on staying in Indigo Plateau.

Ditto on the ditto's. I have all the power items from platinum, but I need some ditto's for natures.Gravijah said:

Woo! Got my first monster into the pokewalker. It's a geodude. Does it matter which pokemon I put in there? Can I put in more than one?
I've stuck mine in my sock. Finally my restless leg syndrome can be useful for something!

Wtf? I just caught Snubbull, here is its dex entry:
"It has an active, playful nature. Many women like to frolic with it because of its affectionate ways."
It is also classified as a "Fairy Pokemon", even though I was pretty sure it was supposed to be like a dog
thought i'd share cause it made me :lol

The only reason to not evo Staryu is due to when you earn moves, so if you're looking elsewhere for those two, you're clear to go to Starmie.

Yeah, apparently it's meant to be a fairy pokemon with the gruff face to offset its demeanor, kind of like how Feebas turns into Milotic. The irony is that Snubbull just heads fully into dog form as Granbull instead. :lol
Chock it up as one of those bizarre failures like Cubone not being directly connected to Kangaskhan despite the visual evidence (and the whole "there's no male Kangaskhan" thing.)

Gary/Blue wanted to be a Gym Leader and not E4 champion, maybe? I mean, Giovanni did leave the gym. Probably due in part to being linked to Team Rocket. So it was Gary's chance to take the gym, doesn't hurt that he isn't far from his Uncle/Oak and his mom in Pallet Town.

Why do you face the champion again in rematches with the Elite Four, despite you yourself now being the champion?cvxfreak said:Something I never quite understood:

None of it has ever made sense and game freak doesn't particularly care.
grandjedi6 said:
But we can easily answer that one. You turned down the job in favor of doing more exploring/catching Pokemon.
Blue just kinda assumes the gym leader role and no one knows why. :lol
EDIT: And based on the dialogue in both FRLG and HGSS, Blue enjoyed being the Champion. It sounds like he involuntarily lost the role.
