  @kingofrunes Mark that spoiler! :gloom2:
  
  
  I'm definitely not happy with the female protagonist. She looks like a hillbilly. The only one I liked was D/P.
  
  Here's my team. I was so shocked when drilbur evolved into that! She's huge and kinda scary looking. She's staying though.

  Oops sorry.
  
  Oh to add. I like the setup for the Elite Four. You can pick and choose who you want to face first and they are all the same level instead of increasingly higher level.

  Interesting. About what level are they? Do they have team themes?
  
  I think this is my favorite pokemon game ever. Only sad thing is I'm starting to see random wild pokemon battles as a waste of time. There's no reason to fight them with audino running around in the shaky grass. Not that I run into that many shinies anyway. In my more than ten years of playing I've only caught two shinies.

  That's two more than me in around the same time haha. I also definitely love the Audino grinding, so much exp. So easy to level a new pokemon now :D

  Machamp pales in comparison
  Conkeldurr is much more bulky and has a higher attack, and he becomes MUCH more bulky and stronger with Bulk Up
  Machamp is just annoying with Dynamic punch

  
  
  Ehh, I still consider Machamps No Guard Dynamicpunch incredibly annoying. Baton Pass him some agilities and it's not only power, but 50% chance to not attack.

  It's so funny. When I found out about audino I got mischievously excited. I had to drive my nephews back from gamestop so they were able to get a big head start on me. They played all the way home.
  With Audino I was able to out level them pretty fast:evil: I'm not sure if I should mention it to them.
  
  Seems like there's audino in just about every grass patch on every route too. I wonder if you can take your pokemon all the way to lvl 100 on a pure audino diet easily.
  :what:

  Sounds like they're excellent for leveling. Main thing bugging me though is that they give EV's I bet. I'd have to EV train my pokemon before I use them for grinding and I normally EV train right before I fight the Elite Four >.>

  They are in the 48-50 range and the types are Ghost, Fighting, Psychic, and Dark. Using my dark alligator dude that I have (I can't remember it's name) I can take out the Ghost and Physic person with ease. Fighting I use my Pheasant and for Dark...well...I don't have any fighting pokemon so Imma wing it.

  Well I did this late, but I finally managed to beat the Elite Four, N, and Ghetsis. This is my team so far :

  The only problem I've had with it was the huge hole in my team with the major weakness of Earthquake and other ground moves. My Cinccino also usually either gets one hit KO'd or severely damaged, which is why I usually feign away from Normal Types. I think it's because I held off on evolving her until level 45 where she learned Last Resort.
  
  Carracosta also has a ton of weaknesses, which annoyed the living hell out of me when nearly every team I faced had a pokemon that knew Electric, Ground, Grass, or Fighting moves. Other than those, if I'm able to use Shell Smash I could beat the living daylights out of most enemies.
  
  As for the rest of my team, My starter pretty much does both tanking and raping. It was able to take a surf attack from Ghetsis' Hydreigon (Which really pissed me off since that thing killed off half of my team) and have HP in the Yellow Zone. Flame Charge helps it get the next hit in before the enemy, which is usually either Heat Crash or Head Smash depending on the size of the pokemon.
  
  Lilligant is also awesome with Petal Dance, I'm basically using a grass version of Dragons Rage, and with Lilligant's ability, I don't get confused.
  
  Galvantula is pretty awesome too. It's fragile to a couple of attacks, but it nearly always hits first thanks to it's speed. With Electroweb, Agility, and Electro Ball I can pretty much ohko a handful of enemies.
  
  I don't know what's going to fill up my 6th slot yet, nor what I might want to use to replace any pokemon on my team. I've taken a shine to these pokemon in particular. For the mean time I have Zekrom sitting in the sixth slot, which I only use when all my other pokemon are knocked out, which is a rare occurrence.

  you only need to use waterfall like... two times
  and dive one time

  
  
  I don't know what you're talking about, but I just beat the game using only Surf, Strength, and Fly.

  I would guess they do give EVs. I've never trained that way before but it should be easy enough to switch the order of doing things right? Is this something I should try? I don't battle competitively so is there really any point to EV training just for the game itself?

  Exactly, for exploring. Basically after finishing the story in post-game. I'm talking about those HMs being the only ones you ever need to progress through the story, those including the one time you need to use cut.

  Well, just letting people know that I have 12 cute little baby Oshawotts of varying natures up for adoption for free if anyone wants one. While I'd prefer a female Snivy/Tepig or Black version exclusive in return, it's not necessary, I just want these poor guys gone, since they're sapping up 12 of my 720 PC Box spaces, and they need a good home. ;~;
