I've got five badges now.

My team is now

Mudkip level 32
Grumpig level 34
Seviper level 31
Anorith level 31
Kadabra level 31
Pelipper level 31

I've got Surf and now I'm exploring the water. I've put in about 20 hours of play time.

I have now beaten the elite four and the the champion. I beat them on the first try with no pokemon above level 50. I did have plenty healing and revives. 2 of the four were beat with only using my Raichu. This was way easier than Gold/Silver. Now I need to decide wether or not to keep going or get on with my life. This weekend was shot by this adicting game.

How did you capture Abra? He always teleports out before I have a chance to do anything.

I just threw a great ball first thing and caught him.

Also, if the Pokemon you're using is faster then the abra you're trying to catch, then you can put it to sleep before it teleports.

I caught an Abra with an Ultra Ball (takes to my Zigzagoon woo!).. it's now a level 50 Alakazam. If you have a Pokemon that has Thief of Covet, go back to the cave with Abra and keep trying to steal from it, you'll get a Twisted Spoon which jacks up all psychic moves.

I still haven't gotten the 7th badge, been too busy breeding things. I have an evil army of Skitties, Pichus, and Igglybuffs. Oh and I bred a lot of Absol's too, that's just one hella cool Pokemon.

Thanks for the advice. It worked on the second try, although it took forever for him to show up.

Got this last week. Cool game. It'll keep me busy until the next Yu-Gi-Oh! comes out 4-16

Wingull lv 19
Combusken lv 23
Shroomish lv 20
Geodude lv 9
Whismur lv 9 (this guy is funny)
Zigzagoon lv 8 (I call him Racoon Dog...cause that's what he looks like)

Here's my current crew.. on my way for the 7th badge, hoepfully.

P.Diddy - Alakazam, Lv 50
Mix-A-Lot - Zubat, Lv 65
Uki - Lioone, Lv 25
Skarmory, Lv 35
Blaziken, Lv 47

Oh, anyone know where I can get a Magnemite? This was my fav from Pokemon Silver.

There's a power plant south of Mauville once you have Surf.
