Also, WiFi seems to be fighting back again. Not letting me back online.
I just got disconnected, error 61070...
"Temporary Network Outages" they say.
Eck. I can't wait for Nintendo to stop downloading porn - I'm gonna check out and hit the sack, Emerl... if nobody else comes up with your Sleep Talk TM while I'm passed out, I'll keep it ready for you.

Sure thing. Let me just check this egg, then wander over to the trading post.
Wow, did that knock us both off?

The Wifi, she lives! Quick, to the intertubes!
Argh, still some problems. It lets you on, but is acting up while trying to start a game.
Oh man, I'm quite impressed with my new team. Even without EV training, it's still won me a number of matches against some pretty decent teams. Too lazy to train them today, but I'd love to see what they do when I'm done with them. 8-)
Aw. Well, it could be worse.. you could've had to do the two or three steps of breeding that led to that particular Pokemon having that particular move first! So its still breeding, but slightly less so. So yay for that, right?
Also, I still have to breed that last team member. Oh, and park over some TMs. But if I do that all right now, I may change my mind about my team and end up redoing everything!
So, just played a couple of rounds of PBR against someone who's entire team popped out of Master Balls, including Lucario. Does that mean they're hacked?
(I still wiped the floor with him - he gave up twice.)

Yup, Serebii says there's just that one Riolu you get from the Lucario cosplayer. They'll always be in a normal ball, so hacked!
Dunno why the Master Ball seems so popular, I prefer the original balls. But that's probably because all my guys are bred, save my old non-perfect HP:Ice Magmortar and the one who's coming back.
Definate hack. There's no place in the game that you can encounter wild Riolu/Lucario. Same as with the starter Pokemon- Master Balls=HAX.
Though how does one give up twice in PBR? I've never really played it.

Well, there's the chance that you encounter the person again. I once fought the same person three times in a row back when I still had PBR. Could've been that Kay swept the person clean off their ass the first time, then he fled when he ended up fighting Kay two more times.
Yeah, given that you only get a Riolu egg from Riley... (Who is not a cosplayer, he is Sir Aaron, released from the timeflow to help out where it's needed. >:|)
He had a very... weird team. All came out in Masterballs. Garchomp with Surf and Earthquake (all I saw), Lucario with Shadow Ball and, uh, that's all I let it use, and an Electivire that only got one Flamethrower off before I ganked it.
In PBR, you can quit a battle at any time, and it just gives the win to the other side. I fought him, led with my Focus Sashed Lucario who two-shotted his Garchomp with Dragon Pulse, then I took off most his Electivire's health with an Aura Sphere, and went down to Flamethrower. Charizard finished off his Electivire, and he game up. He refused a rematch, we both went back into the pool, and... my next opponent was the same guy.
Smacked down two of his Pokés, and he gave up before I could KO the third. They still count as wins, though.
Also, got an absolutely AWESOME Pokémon from my breeding program - 21/31/31/29/25/31 The other one I'm accepting is okay, but not great.
I don't even mind EV training pokemon. It's almost enjoyable to me. The only thing that gets me in the training process is breeding... largely because I'm pretty anal about good IVs, which is my own fault.
I don't suppose anyone is up for a battle today? I didn't get any challengers yesterday.

I would if I had decided to continue making a Honchkrow instead of resurrecting my old Veteran. Would've been almost done with the Krow, but I gave up. It just has crappy defenses and low Speed, even with Thunder Wave.

Ah yes, I had thoughts of making a new Gliscor, so that Gligar is one of the side products of my attempts. Very helpful that my previous Gliscor was male and had so many moves that could be passed down.
I might have to give those alien hunters a call just to make sure you're telling the truth.
I am beginning to move towards battling online. Is dragonite worth it? He rocked the single-player R/B game, but that was a decade ago. Is it worth my time to bother capturing and raising one now, or is he outclassed by new dragons such as Garchomp and such?
Seems to me like Dragonite is still as great as he was before. A little slower than the other two main dragons that I can think of (Garchomp, Salamence), but has other stats to make up for it. I'm sure there's someone else that can maybe tell you more about him, but to me, I think it's definitely worth raising.

It's stats are fairly similar to Salamence's, with Salamence having lower DEF stats but higher SPD.
It gets more fun special attacks than Salamence does I guess? Choice Specs Draco Meteor/Flamethrower/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt anyone?

Now I'm left wondering if that Blissey I battled was legit. At least it didn't have Wish, haha.
Edit: Spent so much time completing remaking my tournament team. It's certainly very unique, but now I'll have to spend even more time hatching new eggs. Can't wait for the tournament now.
I suppose I can learn from my old team, so I'll post it and hope for pointers.

Not sure what I did wrong, but after a few wins, I just lost over and over, to some pretty crappy teams. I think almost any pointers/tips/help would aid me a lot in working out problems in my newest team.

I always like doing these. But lets keep in mind that I'm no expert, just opinionated.
I'll spoiler tag it to save space also.
Kings Rock is unreliable. Also kind of useless on something slow like Blastoise, but it's a neat idea pairing it with Aqua Jet. Blastoise doesn't need speed, give it Defenses (Special probably) and HP, but if you do that you may want to drop Mirror Coat. Blastoise has so many options that I don't really know what to recommend. I had no idea it could be bred for Fake Out though. That would go great with Aqua Jet.
If you want to rely on Sunny Day then give Exeggutor the Heat Rock. Leftovers and Leech Seed instead of Synthesis? Sleep Powder is useful. Another Pokemon I haven't made because it's difficult to decide on a moveset.
Drop Cross Poison for Earthquake. and think about putting Earthquake on Blastoise and Miltank too. You can never have to much Earthquake. Scope Lens is also unreliable, but it is the obvious choice. I couldn't imagine giving it anything else. Oh, Drapions Physical Defense is much better than it's special. Put those EVs into Physical. Same thing with Miltank.
Thick Fat is a good idea for a Sunny Day team, but Scrappy is always so useful. That Miltank will be useless against any ghost that isn't Gengar. Spiritomb especially. But, your opponent probably won't risk sending in a ghost because they'll just assume it's Scrappy. So I guess it's fine.
Aerodactyl seems fine. Maybe a Choice Band instead of Expert Belt, and an Elemental Fang instead of Dragon Claw, but it seems fine.
Arcanine- Will O Wisp instead of Overheat? Solarbeam and a Power Herb over Sunny Day? No Flamethrower, Overheat with a White Herb. Be aware that the White Herb might get wasted if a Gyarados switches in. Maybe Choice Specs with Solarbeam over Sunny Day assuming SunnyDay is set up by Exeggutor. No Brightpowder.
I think the problem here is that you're all Speed and Attack but no Defense or Support. You need more Status effects. Sleep Powder, WoW, Thunder Wave from Miltank. Blastoise is all about Defense and Support.
Speed and Power isn't terrible though, you can still win with that, but I think more experienced opponents will be able to handle it.
I hope this was helpful.

Man.
I dare you to say that to my Honchkrow's face.
She'll mess you up. MESS YOU UP I SAY!
100 HP, 52 on both Defenses, and only 71 in Speed. Considering that my Kangaskahn (with just 5 more HP and 80 in both defenses) almost got OHKOd every time, the Krow is going down hard. At least his death animation in PBR is badass. I think stuff like Infernape and Weavile would still outrun it even after a Thunder Wave and kill it. Besides, did I fight your Honchkrow when we fought last? Cause I recall having half my team alive and kicking at the end of the fight.
Figures that I get a day off due to snow (5-10 inches, whereas it was supposed to be 3 at a max before I went to bed yesterday) yet can't work on my team because of the slow as hell Berries.

Huh, I actually did not have a Tangela til now.
Er, I mean breeding.
Farah, the old Pokemon that's coming back under a new name, shall thank you by tearing up your team once she is ready, Kay.
But now I must begin the horrible process of breeding so I kinda hate you a little to.

As far as I know, Lucario can't be caught?
Edit: PBR is so bad for battling the same person at least twice in a row. Lobbies or a filter would be so awesome.
Perhaps I'll EV train today after all. I'm actually pretty excited about using this team in battles.
By the way, does Sunny Day screw over Ice attacks too?
Edit: Miltank's Thick Fat ability. But it still only did like 5 points of damage, it was pretty stupid.
Edit2: Ugh, topic's slow tonight.. Blissey can't learn Seismic Toss, can it?
And on that note, I'm looking for a Meowth for free so I don't have to camp the Trophy Garden anymore ;[ Any help?
It only can via move tutor in Fire Red/Leaf Green/Emerald.
So if you breed one in Diamond, it can't learn Seismic Toss.
Concerning my team, you didn't see anything... Right?!
Thanks for the TM, now all I gotta do is wait about a day or so to grow enough Berries to wipe Newcomer's EVs clean and start again.
Nothing that shall be of strategic value to anyone. At all.
Except for this nifty pokeyman with the trading stone I wanted.
Hmm, so it can't pass it along if you breed in Diamond/Pearl?.. Was annoyed by the one I battled earlier.
