The new itemfinder is a godsend.  Finally, one that is actually useful that I don't need to either keep using the touchscreen for. 

So what teams do you have?

I'm just about to head into the Dragonspiral Tower

I have:
Lvl 39 Druddigon  (grinding now)
lvl 42 Dwebble
lvl 43 Servine
lvl 42 Scraggy
lvl 42 Cubchoo
lvl 42 Victini

Seriously, the Elite Four are kicking my ass. I think I raised all the wrong Pokemon.
This would be my PSN Trophy Card, but I guess I can't post HTML in my Signature. I'm the pixel spaceship, and I have nine Gold trophies.

You didn't just raise the first 5 you caught did you? :P

I finished the Unova Pokedex last night. Is that a sign of no life?

Seen and caught.

It's actually easier than you think, but I was helped by having access to an import Black for legends/trade evos. But between the Lucky Egg, Audinos and level 67 trainers that respawn daily in Nimbasa's stadiums...

Wow. You work fast, my friend. The only Pokemon I truly finished (beat Elite 4 and Champion as well as completed the entire Pokedex) was Blue. Unless you don't count the Nat'ldex in later games.

I beat White with 31:30 on the clock.  I really enjoyed the art direction of the levels at the end.  I turned off battle animations by the 8th gym.  The game was starting to outstay its welcome.  I encountered 138 and caught 42.  So congrats on the diversity you see.  Overall I really liked it it.  The ending felt a little thoughtless considering the build up but still I really enjoyed how much of a 16 bit rpg this felt like.
 
Its the first pokemon I really enjoyed since the first.  I hope the gen 6 pushes it even further into a story driven direction.

I somehow made it 17 years and never have played a Pokemon game.

I have a long trip in a few weeks and could I pick this up and it be my first or would your recommend another Pokemon game?

This is all you need for now. If you play this and go back to HG/SS or earlier they will feel so slow and cumbersome.
 
At the moment I am breeding for really strong pokemon before I finish the dex. I got great IV's in Heatmor, Joltik, and Druddigon. Now all I need is a good durant and I can be on my merry way. But man without the dream world I refuse to train them because they already have a few bad EV's invested.

Ok.  I have officially found my all time favourite Poke'mon move.  It is called frenzy plant.  It is explained as follows:

"The user slams the target with an enormous tree"

Can there be a more awesome move than this?

Man it angers me that there are no EV berries in this game. Anyone have an action replay and don't mind getting some berries? I never cheat to raise the pokemon but the stupid things arent even in the Dream World, not yet anyway. In return I would gladly raise a really High IV pokemon for someone, no legendaries, but anything that can breed I would take the time to make the best it could be.

There's probably a way you can set your DS to connect to a different source over the internet to download a Pokemon with an EV berry attached. That'd be the way to go, I'd guess.  I know someone was "giving out" Zorua using the method, but the Black/White version of the hack is still undergoing testing.

I just started playing white version, the game is incredible, it keeps the old formula, but everything looks better and more refined gameplay.

OK, now look at a calendar and tell the class what yesterday was.

In all seriousness, CoroCoro releases in the middle of the month.

Finished the Unova Pokedex except for like 5 Pkmn because my brother has White and hasn't been up the point where he can catch and give me Thundrus or Zekrom. I also can't get Zoroak or Zorua because I don't have the stupid event Pokemon.

Just started Black a few days ago. I'm absolutely loving it so far. Just got the first badge and am grinding my way to the second.

Went with my little sister today to get the games. She picked White and I got Black. I haven't started yet but we're both excited since there is so much positive buzz.

I'm nearly 50 hours in and am about two-thirds finished with my Unova Pokedex. After that is the massive task of the National Dex. Still really loving this game.
This is where I would write something witty or funny if I had any ideas.

The Global Link should be launching this Wednesday. It was shown on the main Pokemon website but was taken down. Yahoo!

They took it down because it's NOT launching Wednesday. Hasn't it been delayed because of the earthquake?
