Where are you guys at on your Heart Gold/Soul Silver playthrough?

Suck it Rival. I beat yo ass with 4 pokemon with half health, just coming out of Victory Road. 6 vs. 4 and 2 HM mules. I'm king right now.

Yeah. Sucks man.

It's ok now, got my streak back up to 14. 1 more round to go. What I did before was that on the Board, right next to each other was a Paralyze:Me or a Poison:Foe. I tried to get the Poison:Foe. Stopped it 1 too early. My team got annihilated...Sucks that it's based on luck and chance...Oh well, I'm confident I'll get to her this time.

Doin some srs frontier battling. I hope to get the factory's silver print by the end of the weekend.

I got hax'd at the Battle Factory when the opponent's last Pokemon (Snorunt) froze my last Pokemon (Magby) with some random ice attack. And it was faster so I couldn't use a fire attack to unfreeze myself.

Let's see, I did some training (whole team being 41~44) and went to the Elite 4. It wasn't hard, but some Pokémon gave me trouble. I've used about 20 Revives, just because I use many Pokémon that get KOed easily.
Evolved Murkrow to Honchkrow after getting the National Dex, then went and fixed the Powerplant and got the train pass.

Current team:
-Typhlosion Lv.46
-Pikachu Lv.45 (Surf+Lightball)
-Honchkrow Lv.45
-Gengar Lv.44
-Golduck Lv.45
-Victreebel Lv.43

Going to do the Kanto gyms now. I'm thinking about starting with Saffron and Cerulean, then doing the others. I'm not going to do the 16th gym until my team is over Lv.70 though, because otherwise I can't train to get up to Red anymore.

EDIT: Oh wow, just had an awesome battle with Erika:

 Spoiler

-First turn
Jumpluff used Sunnyday!
Typhlosion used Flamethrower!
Jumpluff fainted!
-Second turn
Tangela used Wring Out! (Typhlosion down to ~45%)
Typhlosion used Flamethrower!
Tangela fainted! (Healed some HP with Shell Bell)
-Third turn
Victreebel used Grass Knot! (Typhlosion down to ~30%, Blaze activated)
Typhlosion used Flamethrower!
Victreebel fainted! (back to 40%)
-Fourth Turn
Bellossom used Solar Beam! (left with 15 HP)
Typhlosion used Flamethrower!
Bellossom fainted! (healed 22 HP with Shell Bell)

I feel sorry for those Pokémon. Sun + Blaze + Flamethrower must hurt.

11 gyms down, 5 to go. Lt. Surge is up next, then Janine, Brock and Blain.

Clair rematch last night was narrow. I also got Sabrina's Pokegear number. Today is scheduled for Falkner this morning, Whitney at noon, and Brock at night. Might be doing more Arcade too....

Falkner rematch was a joke. He couldn't even attack.

You know what, I quit. I'm not going back into the Arcade anymore. -_- I just lost again right before Dahlia and I'm not gonna waste my time getting my dam streak up again.

Haxtower is pineappleing me up too.

Battle 10: first Pokemon my opponent sends out is a Venomoth. I have a Gengar, a Lucario, and Milotic. I don't remember the exact details, but I'll try to summarize the battle in log format.

Veteran ___ sent out Venomoth!
Go! Gengar!
Gengar used Hidden Power (fire). It's super effective! Venomoth lost ~98% of its health.
Venomoth used Sleep Powder! Gengar fell asleep!
(Venomoth has Black Sludge and is healing 1/16 of its HP every turn)
Gengar, switch out! Go, Lucario!
Venomoth used Psybeam! Lucario lost ~30% of its health. Lucario is confused!
Lucario, switch out! Go, Milotic!
Venomoth used Sleep Powder! Milotic fell asleep!
Milotic is fast asleep!

Milotic is in love with foe's Venomoth!

(Milotic recovers with Leftovers)

Milotic, switch out! Go, Lucario!
Venomoth used Silver Wind! It's a critical hit! Lucario fainted.
Go, Gengar!
Gengar is fast asleep!
Venomoth used Psybeam! It's super effective!
Gengar is fast asleep!

Venomoth used Attract! Milotic fell in love with foe's Venomoth!

He proceeds to destroy me with Psybeam while I sit completely immobilized. pineapple Attract. 50% my ass, I've been able to move during Attract maybe twice EVER.

Well, I never really give up....Gave the Arcade another try, got my streak back up to 14. I always lose in the next round. I hope the Board comes in my favor for tomorrow. Anyway, my Whitney and Brock rematches went well. The only thing though is that Whitney's Bibarel and Clefable drove me crazy with their Ice attacks on my Noctowl and Sunflora. After those two though, she was easy.

I forgot I didn't trigger the Arceus event yet, and went to try it. I actually thought that the cutscene was pretty cool for a Pokemon game.

Cutscene is at 4:40.

Been spending this last day doing nothing but Voltorb Flip in my spare time. God dang it I keep getting stuck at level 5, because it's at around that point where it's more guesswork than cold cut logic. At least that's how it feels since I only got the hang of it last night. I think my highest win was around 500-700 coins for a clear, level 6 I think. I got over 11,000 coins though, so I can get one of the metagame worthy TMs.

I barely got 10 coins before I saw Ben's Voltorb guide, so I think that says a lot on how much flipping I've been doing.

This is a joke right?

Did you laugh?

...I sat there with my mouth agape at how ridiculous it was, if that counts.

Sadly, no.
It was real.
LMAO

Oh, because it made me chuckle.

I found that cut scene annoying, had to do it 6 times and every pic had diff art style methinks.
Edit: I should have said everything should have looked animey like #493

I think that result would be pretty humerous as well.
