Sorry, man. You should save often.

Merged Langston "Luccie" Windkloppel thread into this.  I don't know why you didn't do it yourself Okoa, the post wasn't deserving of a thread
Neither was it necessarily spam though.

*cough* pokemon is going down the drain *cough*


Anyway, I seriously think that pokemon is just overworking itself. The company tries to make too many games in too little time, and are enslaving little kids into begging their parents to buy these games. I used to liek the games, but now, I'm just sick of them.

Yeah, I know. It was late at night, I wasn't really thinking about it.

If you're sick of them, don't buy them and quit complaining.

But that's what I'm here for

YAY!  I CAN FINALLY POST IN THIS TOPIC NOW!

So you guys know Looker, right?  Freaks.  The living.  Crap.  Out of me.

[Komodo_Zero]

HIS NAME IS HANDSOME

He's weird, but not in a creepy way.  It's more a case of "what the hell is wrong with you" than anything else.

[Liz Alper]

Yeah, what's with that handsome thing?  That's what it said on Youtube too...

[Komodo_Zero]

It's what the early translations made by sites like Serebii or Bulbapedia called him.

Handsome and Looker basicly mean the same thing anyway, it's more a case of preference.

[Liz Alper]

OMFG!!  That's hilarious.  I mean on the Pokemon card yeah he kinda looks good...

[Komodo_Zero]

I think Ken Sugimori designed him with looks in mind, or else he wouldn't have the name Handsome/Looker now would he?

[Liz Alper]

My definition of Handsome/Looker is Paul Newman, not Handsome/Looker.  lol

[Keaton]

Well I just beat Maylene more by fluke if anything, Platinum is a lot harder than Diamond cause in D I just went through with only my starter till I got Dialgia. But I'm still doing okay.

[Komodo_Zero]

I found Platinum, in the main story, easier.  Probably cause I knew good areas to spam-train XD

Yeah, I abused the Lucky Egg and the double battle scenarios to over-level my Pokemon all the time XD  I'd gotten all my Pokemon to level 60 before going to the Elite 4, then one-shotted the entire thing (champion included) without a single save XD

So far, I haven't bothered with the post-Elite 4 bonuses.  I know I won't touch the Battle Frontier as I found it redundant in Emerald, therefore I'll find it redundant now XD

[Keaton]

Yeah well there are two things I could use right about now, a good electric pokemon and fire. I'll probably go look at the online trading.

Ah damn I forgot I have an Evee I can get Jolteon...

[Komodo_Zero]

I need to remember my team, I really did have all corners sorted with it o_O

Let's see, it went like this: -
Gallade
Empoleon
Luxray
Roserade
Houdoom
Giratina

[Keaton]

Hah! My is somewhat less appealing.

Kadabra lvl 26 (Oh I had this guy since he was lvl 4)
Prinplup lvl 30
Bronzor lvl 25
Ponyta lvl 23 (I keep this one for my rival's Grotle)
Gastly lvl 22 (He is dead right now...)
Eevee lvl 20 (I have done nothing to him...)

[Komodo_Zero]

Considering your current set, here are a few things I'd recommend.

Breed that Eevee a lot, get as many Eevees as you can XD
Jolteon actually doesn't learn a great deal of electric attacks, and Thunder and Discharge are past level 70.  You'd be better off catching a Shinx and don't evolve it at all until level 41 once it's learned all it's moves,  find it's quicker to do that.

Drop Ponyta, it's only redeeming feature is it's speed.  Locate a Houndour on route 214.

Also, a fighting type is very useful, so is a psychic type.  That's why I chose Gallade as it's a better fighting/psychic combo than Medicham.

Ghastly is a good ghost Pokemon, but unless you can trade it back and forth to get a Gengar it won't reach it's full potential.  That's one reason I went for Giratina (that and it learns Earth Power at level 60, saving me an Earthquake TM XD).

Finally, make sure your Prinplup learns an ice move, a level 60 Empoleon with Blizzard CAN OHKO Cynthia's Garchomp.

Dunno about Bronzor.  I'd drop him, but it's up to you.

[Keaton]

So where can I find Gallade? Also the reason why I beat Maylene's Lucario was because of Bronzor and his Hypnosis which I use a lot, he'd be better if I could teach him Psybeam then I could retire my Kadabra. I do need a better fire pokemon so I'll look for that Houndor.

I can go buy Ice Beam I'm pretty sure anyways, my two mains are Kadabra and Prinplup followed by that Ghastly.

Oops no it was Blizzard oh well now Prinplup knows Blizzard.

[Komodo_Zero]

Yeah, if high enough level, that Blizzard can OHKO Garchomp. 

For Gallade, you'll need a male Ralts.  They can be caught on route 208.  Make sure it is male though or this won't work.  Next you need to evolve it to Kirlia.  Last, you need to use a Dawn Stone on it.  A Dawn Stone can be found in Mount Coronet.  The entrance west of Hearthome City leads you directly to the exact area in Mt Coronet, it's to the lower part of the cave across a small patch of water, so you'll need Surf to get it.

Make you you DON'T train Kirlia to level 30, or it will try to evolve into Gardevoir.  In fact, I would not train it at ALL once you evolve the Ralts to a Kirlia, as Gallade learns Psycho Cut at level 31, a VERY useful move for Gallade.
