The Olivine city gym leader was having a problem with a Pokémon at the local lighthouse, and asked me to get him a cure from the next town. While there, I also defeated the local gym leader (my grass starter still wasn’t useful). The cure did wonders for the Pokémon, so the gym leader could battle me. It was a steel type gym though, so I decided to try and catch a more suitable Pokémon.

I went past the gym five town and traversed the route to the Pokémon Safari. I caught a Vulpix and a Krabby on the way there, but I also decided to make a round through the Safari Zone to catch a few more random Pokémon. This got my catch count to about 25.

Next I tried to train Vulpix and Krabby, but it took too long so I just cleared the gym with my existing Pokémon. It wasn’t too hard but it wasn’t easy either. This is where I stopped playing. After all of this, I can surf and fly so I guess Lake Rage and Mahogany town are next.

I started this one during my exams and played it on the train rides mostly. I managed to get my first 3 badges and got in the fourth gym town. The gym leader isn’t home so I have to explore a ruined tower and find him there. I managed to get a Dratini while playing the coin game so I have a pretty nice team, including an evolved Togepi, Dratini and a Bayleaf. I’m not in a rush to get any more additions to my team, until I start encountering something more interesting than Rattata. Oh, by the way, grass type better be awesome in the next few gyms, because it was complete and absolute rubbish in the first three. Well, the third one wasn’t that bad, but it wasn’t that good either.

During the last week, I’ve maybe spent a total of an hour on this game so I didn’t make allot of progress. I did some exploring with Bowser, got zapped by the Mushroom Kingdom security system (I think) and then managed to somehow get out of Bowsers body with Mario and Luigi trough one of the pipes he inhaled. It seems these pipes are really technical, because I have no idea how that worked. Anyway, after doing that I also did some exploring with the bros. and managed to get a new item – the blue shell. This allows me to access areas I couldn’t before so I expect some overusing of the new ability for the next hour or two of gameplay.

Not much train riding lately, so not much DS gameplay either. I managed to rescue the princess but then she got beamed out of Bowser’s body by Fawfull. That’s basically all that happened. It did take a while for me to save the princess though. I had to answer allot of quiz questions correctly and kill a boss in the end. This means Mario and Luigi gained a few levels, and their rank has risen to, so they can both carry 3 different equipment pieces now.

I had lots of traveling to do during exams, so I was stuck in a train for 3 hours a day for the past 2 weeks. I had nothing else to do, so I decided to start a new DS game. I don’t think I got very far, but for now, I like it. It’s a Super Mario RPG style game that makes use of the DS capabilities. I’m at the point where Bowser got really fat, so Mario and Luigi used the opportunity to look for the princess inside his fatty areas. I needed to answer a few questions about Bowser correctly in order to continue, but the game froze on my, so I decided to stop there. I will probably be playing this one when I don’t have access to my computer for some reason so I won’t complete it any time soon, but I definitely plan to keep playing it.

I’ve spent most of the time trying to catch the three legendary lake Pokèmon. Before that, I realized I was missing a Rotom and a Tentacool. The first one, I missed because I was going through Eterna forest during the day, but the second one, I don’t know how I missed.

Anyway, after catching Rotom and defeating a Tentacool, all I was missing are the three lake Pokèmon. I managed to catch the first one easy, but the second took a long time. I had to waste about 40 dusk balls to catch it, but in the end, I got it. The third one, Mesprit, ran away, so I now have to chase him all around the map. I did get his entry in the Pokèdex, so this means the Pokedex was completed. 

I reported this to professor Rowan, so professor Oak arrived and upgraded my Pokèdex to national level. I hope this means I get to catch all of the original 150 Pokèmon.

I went to all three lakes and fought Team Galactic commanders there. Afterwards, I had to follow them to the Galactic HQ and defeat the boss there. For defeating him, he gave me a Master Ball. I followed him to Mt. Coronet, where he opened a portal to another world. In there, I fought Giratina. I reloaded my game several times to try and catch it with a Dusk Ball, but after about 40 of them wasted, I decided to use my Master Ball. He was doing way to much damage to me and I didn’t have a paralyze attack, so I saw no other choice. Anyway, now I have a Giratina, but I’m not using it in my main team. I want to win the game without legendary Pokèmon.

Also, somewhere along the way, I won the seventh gym badge and my Pichu evolved to Pikachu. He is now around level 40.

Completed!

Today, I continued on to win the eight gym master. Thanks to Garchomp and his Earthquake move, the electric type gym was the easiest yet. Afterwards, I got HM7 Waterfall and continued to Victory Road and the Pokèmon league. After defeating my rival for the last time (I hope) I continued to fight the elite four and in the end, Cynthia. The elite four where easy, but Cynthia took a few tries to defeat. After defeating Cynthia, my name was put in the Hall of Fame list and the credits started rolling.

So I loaded the game after the credits and started in my room again. My rival said that I need to get on a ship in Snowpoint City so I guess that’s what I’m going to try next.

I got the sixth gym badge which means I can now use Strength outside of battle. I also got a new egg, but it didn’t hatch yet. I also got a Pichu as a fourth team member. I’m trying to raise his friendship in order for him to evolve in Pikachu. I don’t want to train it until he evolves, so he’s pretty much useless right now. I also caught a Tropius in order to use him as a HM slave. He can learn most of the HM moves, but since 4 is the limit, I’m also using a BIbarel for the same thing.

I got my fifth gym badge today. It was a bit tough, because the gym leader used water Pokèmon and I only had Infernape with a grass TM move to fight them. He did get allot of levels out of it, so it ended well. I leveled my Psyduck to 33, which made him evolve to Golduck. Now my team is pretty strong, but its only 3 Pokèmon, so I need to find a fourth one that can handle the weaknesses of the current 3. I have 2 other Pokèmon in my team, but they are only used for HM moves. Also, I finally got my Pal Pad, so if anyone reads this and actually plays this game (the odds are slim), add me to their friends roster, please!
