Pokemon Diamond (DS)
Jun 6th
These are my daily tasks -
1) Transfer six Pokemon from Pokemon Sapphire.
2) Catch those six Pokemon in Pal Park.
3) Trade those six Pokemon with my wife for six not yet in my Pokedex.
4) Get my trendy saying for the day. (Today: Neutrino.)
5) Check GTS for trades. (Today: a Bronzong from Mexico.)
6) Ask Dawn’s sister for swarm information. (Today: Electrikes at Valley Windworks.)
7) Get a berry from the woman in Pastoria City.
Pokemon Sapphire (DS)
Jun 5th
I can now transfer Pokemon from Sapphire to Diamond, so I started this up to sort out my boxes. I also tried to catch some new Pokemon, but didn’t see anything I didn’t already have. It looks surprisingly primitive compared to Diamond, but it runs about twice as fast, making battles much easier to cope with.
Pokemon Diamond (DS)
Jun 5th
Off work today with a sore willy. (I think going back yesterday was a bit optimistic, should have stayed off for the recommended two full weeks, probably.) Anyway, between checks of my work email (yes, I’m all diligent and stuff), I decided to try the Champion again. I used a few TMs – most useful: Toxic, least useful: Fling – and without too much trouble I managed to… WIN!
Hooray! I’ve saved the world from Team Galactic and beaten the Pokemon Champion after seventy-six hours and nineteen minutes of play.
Normally that would be the end of it, but I need to go to the new areas now opened, fill my Pokedex, open up Pal Park, etc.
For the record, my winning team was:
Barry – Level 56 Ursaring (Rest, Strength, Toxic, Faint Attack)
Dialga – Level 56 Dialga (Flash Cannon, Shadow Claw, Dragon Claw, Roar of Time)
Neighbour – Level 58 Rapidash (Fire Blast, Ember, Flare Blitz, Flamethrower)
Gnawsome – Level 55 Bibarel (Surf, Cut, Waterfall, Rock Climb)
Butthead – Level 56 Rampardos (Rock Smash, Fling, Thunderbolt, Zen Headbutt)
Batowl – Level 54 Noctowl (Hypnosis, Fly, Extrasensory, Air Slash)
