This page has some of my crazy adventures and some great advice, if you want to become more strategic, you should read these!  Tips and stories will be updated every week so stayed tuned and take my advice because I know what I'm doing.  (I have every single pokemon game ever made.)  Take some time to look around because in pokemon I am always right.

As you can tell, a Lucario balances a whole party out.  If you would like some tips just listen to this.  A good team would mainly consist of some kind of dragon type (Palkia for example).  Another would be some kind of electric type like a Luxray.  A fire type would also be really handy like an Infernape or a Rapidash,  you should also have a water type pokemon (any kind really).  Possibly a rock type like a Golem.  And last but not least a Lucario, a Lucario has many great and balanced moves, so I recommend one.  I don't completely follow these tips but you should.  My team consists of a Palkia, Lucario, Gallade, Rayquaza, Groudon, and Mewtwo.  I did not cheat to get anybody in my party.

 If you decide to venture out into the wild without any cheats, carry the following, 6 full restores, 1 escape rope, 10 max repels, and maybe some status healers also.  Trust me, I had my whole party with full HP and I found a trainer to battle, her Gloom kept using sleep powder and I couldn't wake up.  The Gloom eventually knocked my whole party out.  And my whole team is Lvl. 100. I never leave anywhere without these items.

Here's another story that happened to me 4-20-09.  I was just walking around and thought I faced everybody in the game.  I didn't face this person yet, and I only had a level 10 with me.  This guy had level 50s.  Always bring your best pokemon no matter what, things just happen to come up.

Vileplume, Bellosom, Venusaur and other grass type pokemon are only good for one thing, status problems.  If you have a poison/grass type pokemon you might be able to do this.  First you should confuse your opponent with Confuse Ray or something like that.  Next you should use a move like Sleep Powder to make your opponent to fall asleep.  Finally switch your grass type with your strongest pokemon you have and finish the match.  I highly recommend a Jumpluff for this very strategic technique. 

This here is a Jumpluff, in case you didn't know, it's the best grass type there is. 

Here is another very complicated strategy.  You should make your pokemon hold a lum berry and have a pokemon that knows the move Rest.  If you're low on HP with no good healing items this is the technique for you.  First use Rest, you will fall asleep but you're HP will be restored.  Once you fall asleep, the pokemon will eat the lum berry and wake back up.  If you're pokemon has the ability to pass on status problems, you're opponent will fall asleep too but won't wake up, thus giving you the chance to give them a beating.   

Grass pokemon are by far the worst pokemon ever, they're only good for the thing above this post.  The best type of pokemon are dragon and electric types, Palkia and Luxray are so made for eachother.  Recommended dragons:  Salamence, Dialga, Dragonite, Palkia, Giratina, and Latios.   Recommended electric types:  Luxray, Electivire, Zapdos, Raikou, and Manectric.   Most recommended pokemon of all: Lucario. 

4-24-09, My friend asked me what kind of pokemon I had, I told him that I had alot of legendaries.  He almost peed his pants and I was laughing my head off.  But legendary pokemon aren't always good.  You can't enter them into the battle tower or other things like that.  That's why you should always have a backup non-legendary pokemon or a few, for example my backups are Garchomp, Luxray, Torterra, Infernape, Charizard, and Yanmega.  I didn't cheat to get these pokemon, I got them in thee Global Trading Center. 

4-25-09, I realized that level 100s aren't everything.  I went into the elite four with just my backup pokemon, I had beaten 1 person before my Torterra was killed.  I went through the other three with 1 pokemon left, Lucario.  The champion had taken me down to low HP, but luckily I had a sacred ash.  The sacred ash revived my whole team to full HP.  I easily beat the champion thanks to my sacred ash.  The only way to get a sacred ash is if you get Ho-Oh in Pokemon XD.  I traded Ho-Oh off of XD to my Pokemon Emerald, and migrated onto my Pokemon Pearl, and then traded it onto my Pokemon Platinum.  A sacred ash is obviously a must-have item.

4-25-09, again, I just got another Riolu and I was seeing what I could get in the Global Trading Center.  So I put it in and I checked it five minutes later and got a Shaymin!!!!  I was stunned!!!  It was a level 100 and my Riolu was level 1.  You have got to try trading over Wi-Fi.

4-26-09, My friend got Pokemon Platinum today and said his pokemon weren't great.  So naturally I gave him a Riolu lvl. 1, and it was better than his lvl. 5 Piplup.  He grew so attached to it he just lazed around for hours just training it.  Now I know a Riolu is great for beginners and training them is fun!  If your a beginner and want one you know where to go to find my email.

4-26-09, again, My friend had trained his Riolu so much it had finally evolved.  He was literally almost crying, he then called me a miracle worker.  Soon he had beaten 3 gym leaders with his Staravia, Lucario, Luxio, Bibarel, Breloom (Another pokemon I gave him), and a different Riolu.  Amazingly today he had already gotten to the 5th gym leader!!  (Soon after training his other Riolu that I had given him it had evolved too.)   

Are you the type of person that likes to spoil and spend time with your pokemon?  Then you should buy Pokemon  Ranch.  You can watch your pokemon play with others and watch them grow.  You can only get this through Wiiware games.

Here's a snapshot of Pokemon Ranch.  You can be your mii to take care of your pokemon.  I believe they will like you a little more if they visit.   You can take pictures and save them to your wii message board or an SD card.   

Not in the mood for a Lucario?   I can also offer Beldum, Torchic, Shinx, or Mudkip.  These aren't as rare or as good as a Lucario but they are very trustworthy and ok at fighting.  I recommend Mudkip out of the 4.
