While it's been established that I hack, I also enjoy playing the game itself for what it is, and I've been actively trying to fill the pokedex. In doing so I've amassed 14 monsters that only evolve through trade and the hold items for those that require them.

While it's not a stretch to ask someone to be a pal and trade back and forth with me to evolve 'em, there's another roadblock in my quest for masterdom- the many pokes that simply aren't in Platinum, at all, making my acquiring them difficult considering I've one DS and can't get some from my Diamond. I've also sold my GBA carts over the past two years, so the insertion ones have been very hard to get when needing to use the bloody GTS. I've picked up a bunch that way, but ugh.

So, if someone could not only do these tradebacks, but each time you fill your party to trade, include non-Platinum pokes. Most notably:

Clamperl
Huntail
Gorebyss
Starters from first three gens
Raikou, Entei, Suicune
1st-3rd gen Ubers

I don't get why they gave us three Dusk Stones when Misdreavus and Murkrow aren't in the game. That was retarded. I also don't get the three Up-Grades. I guess if you wanted to pretend you're one of the nerd-type trainers and have three P2s, then who is GameFreak to crush your dream?

Anyway. If you could scrape together 14 things from that list to help with my dex (especially starters! Ingame trainers don't have them and I can't ask for them over the GTS) that'd be awesome. Preferably someone I've already traded with so we don't have to bother FC swapping.

Well, don't need a Mur/Honchkrow anymore, since GTS has come through for me since I've posted.

Just got a Beedrill off GTS also, which'll take care of the Weedle line also.

Gibles and Dratinis apparently get eaten up like hotcakes, since I've been offering nothing but those and have never had to wait longer than a day or even half a day to finish a transaction. With that in mind I've gone back to Mt Coronet and fished up some of the little buggers. I can probably score that Lunatone/Solrock this way.

Somehow managed to score a Forry in under an hour. Sweet.

Nothing else on that list apart from the rocks are even encounterable ingame, so I WILL need help with those >_>

sure, my ds has to be somewhere.

I would help if my DS could connect to WPA :(

Hammer, you still up for helping me out?

I would be, but I cant find it.

For starters, I have:

Charmander
Squirtle

Cyndaquil
Chikorita
Totodile

Torchick

Though, these are all on my Diamond game... I haven't been too keen on what's going on lately with Platinum's release and all. Hopefully I'll go get it sometime this week, but I'm assuming it's still possible to trade from Diamond to Platinum.

Anyway, if your game for it, and if it's possible, maybe later in the week we can arrange a time.

Ok to hell with this. Repto meet me on IRC today at like 4 EST Time. I'll do your trades. /end topic

Can't do that IRC thing, I'm not on my own computer. There's a topic around here by Slowflake explaining my dilemma with my Libelldra acct because of that, which is why I'm posting under this name.

I have extra Mudkip, even a Female one. I can also offer one of Clamperl and one of its evolutions, not sure which ATM. I may have extras of some other starters, but I need to check those. Other than the Clamperl evolution, you can keep everything. Just post when you are free, and we can try to work it out from there.

Edit: Just checked and I have an extra Charmander, Totodile, Treeko, and Torchic in addition to that Mudkip. I also have a Deep Sea Tooth.

Excellent. Also, because these are tradeBACKS, all you're doing is giving me dex entries. The starters I can then trade for on GTS. Seeing as I'm going to be needing my own pokes back after they evolve on your cart.

That said, I don't need to keep some of that crap, so after I've gotten my evolutions recorded on my dex, if you're willing to let me keep a clamperl with that hold item, it'd be awesome.

My FC is 1419-2622-1602.

My FC is 2620 9393 8970. I don't need any of the starters, as they are extras. I would like to get the Huntail back as I also need its data. If you wouldn't mind bring the Lunatone that would be great.

Not a problem. 14 separate trades means the third trip will give me an opportunity to fill my party with random dudes. Since I'll have to get out a Dubious Disc for P2, that'll end up being the last.

When do you want to do this?

Now works.

Right, I'll head on.

I have another Metal Coat, so I'll try to catch a Scyther quickly and come back. God damn game ate my effing Scyther -_-

I have a Jolly Scyther ready. Looks like you get to keep that Huntail you wanted.

Unnecessary.
