DP progress in Japanese Diamond

...My goodness.
My blog post title looks like it should be the title of some article in a newspaper. o_O

... Anyways, OK. Now this post I want to make it about my recent achievements in my Japanese Pokemon Diamond, which is coming out in about 2 weeks(YYYYAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!!) in the USA.

I already blogged about catching Dialga and those things, so now I'll blog about league and after-league.

My Pokemon League defeat was TOUGH. It was the toughest Pokemon League EVER in a Pokemon RPG next to the FireRed/LeafGreen one(after getting the National Dex) in my opinion.

Elite Four and Champion:

Elite Four Aaron
Type: Bug
Dustox Lv. 53
Beautifly Lv. 53
Vespiquen Lv. 54
Heracross Lv. 54
Drapion Lv. 57

My Pokemon were all severely underlevelled. The League was like 50-63 and I was like 47-53.
Aaron wasn't particularly hard to defeat, Beautifly and Dustox were a piece of cake, Vespiquen was normal, Heracross was OK. Drapion was the only one of his Pokemon that actually put up a fight.

Elite Four Bertha
Type: Ground
Quagsire Lv. 55
Whiscash Lv. 55
Sudowoodo Lv. 57
Hippowdon Lv. 56
Golem Lv. 59

Bertha's Japanese name is Kikuno. Agatha(from Kanto Elite Four)'s Japanese name is Kikuko. English names: BerTHA, AgaTHA. And they also have a distinct resemblance in appearance too. Could they be somehow related?
Bertha put up quite a fight. Quagsire and Whiscash were easily defeated by my Torterra. Sudowoodo was defeated by ?(can't remember, maybe it was Floatzel or Staravia, or maybe even Dialga). Lol. Hippowdon's ability makes a sanstorm rage the minute it is sent out into the battlefield(like Tyranitar). It put up SUCH a fight. But then you could NEVER imagine how STUPID I felt when Dialga completely DESTROYED it with ONE TIME ROAR. (Though it was a bit weakened, lah, of course.) Golem was the easiest one on her team to defeat. Don't let it's level fool you. If you have any good Grass- or Water- type Pokemon/attacks on your team, GOlem should be a piece of cheesecake(must add style 1 lar).
PS: If you're playing Diamond/Pearl now or are going to be playing them, take ntoe that EVERY ONE OF BERTHA'S POKEMON KNOW FISSURE, A 1-HIT-KO GROUND TYPE ATTACK THAT ONLY DOESN'T AFFECT FLYING-TYPE POKEMON.

Elite Four Flint
Type: Fire
Rapidash Lv. 58
Infernape Lv. 61
Steelix Lv. 57
Lopunny Lv. 57
Drifblim Lv. 58

Flint also put up a real fight. The only Pokemon that put up a fight, however, were Infernape and Drifblim. Rapidash was KO-ed by one Surf from Floatzel and 1 Earthquake from Torterra. Take note that RAPIDASH KNOWS SOLARBEAM, so you should be careful with Water-types when battling it. That's why Torterra came in, I instantly changed Floatzel because it took in sunlight. Nasib baik there wasn't any Sunny Day (yet). Steelix can be destroyed with one good Water-/Fighting-/Grass-/Ground-type move/Pokemon. It wasn't a fight at all to me. Lopunny has Mirror Coat, which causes double the damage of the last attack used on it to the opponent(only if it was a Special Attack, though). That can be horifying if one of your Special attacks did decent damage against it. My Lopunny-defeating key was 2 good hits of Close Combat from Staraptor. Infernape is HORRIBLE. It's super-hard to defeat. Flint may fool you by sending out his Infernape first, then quickly switching it out and sending out Steelix(or was that the other way round?). Infernape knows Flare Drive, a Fire-type Double-Edge, so be careful. Infernape was defeated by Floatzel(of course). Drifblim is ANNOYING. It doesn't have much good attacks. The only thing that made it hard to defeat was its SUPER-HIGH HP. Drifblim's HP is Sky-High.

Elite Four Lucian
Type: Psychic
Mr. Mime Lv. 59
Girafarig Lv. 59
Medicham Lv. 60
Alakazam lv. 60
Bronzong Lv. 63

This was SO HARD. Mr Mime was defeated by a good hit from Crunch. Girafarig was defeated in(I think) the same way. Medicham has Ice Punch, so be careful. It also has High Attack(or was it Special Attack?),but that doesn't really matter to me because I KO-ed it in one hit. Lol. Alakazam has Recover, so, it can be annoying. (It wasted so much of my valuable PP!) Bronzong is A MONSTER. It's a hideous, (GIANT)potlike Pokemon that has Psychic- and Steel-type. This type combination gives it almost NO weaknesses, except for Fire. But it's ability makes Fire attacks's damage get halved!!! THerefore, NO attack is Super-effective against it. It has A LOT OF RESISTANCES, too. To add to the horror of this hideous, giant pot's stats, Bronzong has SUPER-HIGH Defense AS WELL AS Special Defense, making it ultimately hard to defeat in general.

Champion Cynthia
Spiritomb Lv. 61
Gastrodon Lv. 60
Garchomp Lv. 66
Milotic Lv. 62
Roserade Lv. 63
Lucario Lv. 63(or 66)

Cynthia was ULTIMATELY HARD. Her SPiritomb has no weaknesses, as it is Ghost- and Dark-type, just like Sableye, its other no-weakness counterpart. It knows Silver Wind. I used some of Dialga's AncientPower and then finished it off with ONE POWERFUL ROAR OF TIME ATTACK. ^^I LOVE MY DIALGA! <3 Gastrodon was defeated by two good Giga Drain attacks from Torterra.Garchomp was defeated by ANOTHER chun Roar Of Time attack, though Dialga was almost killed in the process of killing IT. Milotic was a pain to defeat. It's high HP and Recovering moves make it a tough customer. Plus, it has good attack moves. Roserade(which I can't even remember battling in the first place) was, I think, defeated by one(or two) Fly attacks from my dear Staraptor. Lucario was moderately easy. TOrterra destrioyed it(I think).

And that's the end of my Sinnoh League defeat.
The ending music is surprisingly long, and the ending scene is OK. 3D-ish, but a bit long and a bit boring. You start at your hosue in Twinleaf Town, and when you go out of the room, your mother, Johanna, will tell you something about your rival taking a ship in Snowpoint City. I went tog et the National Dex first. To get the National Dex, you have to have seen all 150 Pokemon in the Sinnoh Pokedex. I was OVERWHELMED when i saw that I had saw 149 POKEMON in the Pokedex, all except Palkia. Then, I went t Celestic City and got a pic of Palkia fromt he old lady. Then I went to Professor Rowan's lab in Sandgem Town and he upgraded my Pokedex to the National Pokedex. He also gave me to Pokeradar! Yay! THen, I went to the ship in Snowpoint City, which took me to this after league place called the Fight Area. I'm journeying through this place right now, which is also connected to three other places. I caught Giratina, a Lv. 70-at-wild legendary Pokemon of the Ghsot- and Dragon-type, Dialga and Palkia's counterpart. LEGENDARY POKEMON ARE SO EASY TO CAPTURE!!!! Like Dialga, Giratina was Super-easy to capture.

Now, I will be journeying through this Stark Mountain place in search of Heatran, a Fire- and Steel-type Lv. 70-at-wild legendary.

OK then, that's all for now, I'll keep you posted on stuff, Bye!
