Pokemon Diamond (DS)
May 19th
No new gyms today. I’ve just been wandering around getting experience and waiting for an egg to hatch. Not overly interesting, but it took up about three hours of my life.

Forty hours in now. This evening I beat the sixth gym, finally. I only needed to use one Pokemon in the end. Now I’ve battled my way to Snowpoint City and I’m going to see if there’s anything that’s good against Ice type that’s not fire.

Thirty-five hours in. Five gyms down. Tried the sixth this evening, but I’m not ready. So I intended to level myself up, but didn’t do very well, sintead getting distracted by new Pokemon, trading and mixing records with my wife, dressing up my Crandios and going for a nice walk with my cute For Bear.
Yes, a bit of a contrast with Halo 3.

Well, I finally beat the fifth gym leader. About thirty-three hours in now and I’m going to see if the sixth gym is doable.

Went to the gaming casino. You get some super special prize if you get to ten bonus rounds. So I played the tedious no-skill fruit machine mini-game for ages and ages, getting bonus round after bonus round, until after the ninth bonus round… the bonus rounds stopped. No idea why. Was very annoying.
Since then I’ve been seeking out trainers I’ve missed to try and eek out some experience for Batowl, my Noctowl, who’s the only anti-ghost guy I’ve really got.

I’m unsure about what I should be doing right now. The next official task is the fifth gym, but I’ve somehow got to that stage with a severely under-levelled and unsuitable team, so I’ve got to try and level my guys up. If I just do battling of random Pokemon it’s going to take about six thousand years, so I’m trying to find a shortcut.

Failed a gym battle this evening. Bother.
I was five or six levels before the gym leader’s Pokemon and managed to beat the first two, but the third one went before all my Pokemon and killed them in one hit. Not much I could do about that.

Well, that’s the fourth gym done. No mention yet of being able to use traded Pokemon above level thirty though. I’ve now got a team of Pokemon I’ve caught myself.

Another gym badge obtained. Quite easily, really, though I was annoyed The Bride died and had to be replaced with For Bear. Still, I won, so I shouldn’t complain.

Hmm. I’ve found what’s meant to be the fourth gym without seeing the third. Don’t think the order matters, though. I’ve not gone in yet, because my team’s not well-suited to the challenge and I’m waiting for an egg to hatch. It’s been using up a slot in my team for days now and I really wish it would just hatch itself.
