Update 9

When I last posted, I had just challenged Gym Leader Grant to a battle. Frogadier and I won the battle, with a little help from the rest of the team.

After I got the badge, I started on the road to the next city, only to discover that Team Flare was interested in the mysterious rocks surrounding the nearest town. I gave chase and battled them, but they managed to get away. 

My Pokemon and I decided to do a little training before the next gym, and while walking through the tall grass, we found an Abra to add to our team. Not long after, Abra evolved into Kadabra.

Update 8

I updated the My Team page. I have been mainly working on training my Pokemon and catching a couple that I didn't have yet. I have also been doing a lot of Wonder Trading, and have gotten some cool Pokemon from that. A new post will be coming soon!

Update 7

In my last post, my Pokemon and I had just made it past the Snorlax roadblock and continued on the path toward the next gym. The road to Cyllage City Gym was full of surprises.

After making it past the Snorlax, I was introduced to the Battle Chateau -- a facility where trainers with titles of nobility may battle with others of the same standing. I was granted a title and my Pokemon and I trained there for a little bit.

While battling at the Battle Chateau, Pidgey, Riolu, and Charmander evolved. 

Update 6

The last time I posted, my Froakie had just evolved into a Frogadier, and I worked on training and maxing out its base stats. After that, I decided to continue on to the next town.

It had a quaint little castle, and a charming inn, but unfortunately, no gym. I decided that it was time to move on, but I met a roadblock. 

Update 5

The last time I posted, Froakie had just  evolved in Frogadier. After that, I decided that it was time to start working on my Pokemon's stats. 

I found a Reset bag and used it to reset Frogadier's base stats. Then I started training it's Special Attack, Speed, and HP/Attack in equal amounts. Mostly working on having it be able to be a sweeper. I have its stats completely maxed out.

Riolu is up next on my training regimen, and I already have a Reset bag to use on it, but I am going to get all of the training medals first so that it will go faster after I reset. I read online that by using that method, you can completely max out the stats in about half an hour. It was too late with Frogadier to use this method, because I had already reset and trained it halfway when I learned  about it.

After Riolu, it is Pikachu's turn. I am going to max out its Special Attack, HP, and Speed.

Are you maxing out your Pokemon's stats first and then leveling up, or are you going to wait a while? Tell us in the comments below!

Update 4

When I last posted, Froakie and I had challenged Gym Leader Viola to a battle.

She used a Lv. 10 Surskit and a Lv. 12 Vivillon. My team of three and I battled hard, and came out the victors in the end. Gym Leader Viola presented us with a shining Bug badge as proof of our victory.

I decided to head out to Lumiose City next, and was met on the way by two of the Professor's older trainers whom he had sent on the same journey that I was now on two years ago. They informed me that the Professor wanted to meet me at his lab.

Update 3

The last time I posted, I had just gotten my new partner, Froakie. Since then, I have had some exciting adventures!

Here is a picture of Froakie's first battle! After receiving Froakie, I was challenged to a battle. I battled against Shauna, who chose Fennekin as their partner. Froakie won the battle with ease.

Update 2

After months of waiting, Pokemon X and Y have finally come out! I got Pokemon X, and started my journey through the Kalos region today.

Charizard X

Not too much has been announced since my last post, so this one will be quick. Just going to give you guys some info on the AWESOME Mega Charizard X!

This thing looks amazing! The color is reminiscent of a shiny Charizard, so it makes me wonder: 

what will a shiny Mega Charizard X look like? 

The game comes out in only two days. When the game is released, I will be posting pictures and stories about my journey through the Kalos region and some musings that I have along the way. I will also be discussing competitive play in the new games, so stay tuned!
