Diamond: Vanquished

93+ Hours: 159 Seen, 92 Obtained. 8 Badges, 1 Championship

 

At exactly 1 am this morning, I was victorious. After more than a month of on again, off again training and playing, I was able to finish off the Elite Four and become the Champion in Pokemon Diamond. Comparred to the previous games, I have to say this was a tougher Elite Four than the last few gens, especially the champion, who was more difficult than the last two and could probably give the original Rival a run for his money.

 

Having seen all 150 Shinnoh Region Pokemon, the next step of the game is collecting the remaining Legendary Pokemon and attempting to complete the full dex. If you're keeping score at home, that's over 490 Pokemon. But not much over. So from the above status report, you can tell I've got a LONG way to go. For now, if I can just see most of them...I'll consider it a victory.

 

But my best option is to start breeding back in Sapphire and LeafGreen, then transfer the freshly hatched babies to Diamond. This is opposed to just clearing out the two previous Gen games. I put a lot of hours into those two games, and have some decent Pokes that I'm going to use in Colleseum and XD on the Cube.

 

From there, who knows. Battle Revolution is coming soon for the Wii, so I'm hoping to have a decent Battle Team together to start fighting my way through that game. And then, if I'm lucky, I'll have a team I'm confident enough in to start getting into more PvP battling. Haven't fought a human since way back in the Red/Blue/Yellow days.

 

I'm enojying this game quite a bit. There is a lot to do. Like, an FFXII load of things to do.

I agree with you on the E4. I believe that this was the only gen besides the original to include Lv. 60+ in the E4.

Do you not wish that you could visit other regions after the game, like in Gold/Silver? *sigh*

Your lucky I have to wait for the 21st.Anyway what team did you use to beat the elite four.

Empoleon, Torterra, Typhlosion, Staraptor, Luxray, Gengar. My starter was Piplup, with Turtwig and Cyndaquil coming from the GTS and a Trade respectively. The whole team was Lvl 50 when I started, but Staraptor, Torterra, and Typhlosion were all 52 by the time I was done (The rest didn't gain one level). Staraptor actually DID do that much work (I'd call him the MVP), while the other two benefitted from the x2 exp boost. I have a feeling the team will change considerably once I start prepping for PvP.

That would be correct. It's also the first time since R/B that the champion wasn't a type-theme.

I'm 100 hours into this game now and there's still a TON of things I've got left to do. Mostly involving Battle Tower, Pokedex, and numerous Legendary sidequests. I'll be here for a while..let alone going back to an old area.

Meh, I'm lookin' for my third badge right now. XD I can't figure out which town I'm supposed to go to, so I went to the one with all the marshes. That right? :P

The third gym I is Maylene in Veilstone. Take the east exit out of Hearthome and head north through Solaceon Town. Take a right when you get to the path blocked by Psyducks and keep following that Route to et there.
