Brion K. Lienhart - 20 Sep 2004 19:32 GMT In the last couple of games the so-called Elite Four have really been a bunch of wimps, able to be beat with any old collection of mid-40 pokemon. This time, however, they were a lot tougher. I went in the first time with a team of mid-40 pokemon, and got my a.s handed to me on a platter by Lorelei. I had to try a half dozen or more times, leveled my team up to 52, evolved Kadabra to Alakazam, and raised a Raichu to lvl 52 before I was able to beat them.

The next time you face the E$, they are going to be a lot tougher.

Is that an in-game thing, or will they keep growing stronger every time you see them? I don't know if I phrased that right, but I cannot think of another way to say it....

Yeah, I knew about that, I think I'm going to avoid them till my main team is around lvl 60. :)
I *a.s*u*me* that they only go up in power one time, the strategy guide only doesn't say anything about continual increases.

I was wondering that myself...one of Agatha's Gengars is now at level 70 and I can't remember if that matches the 2nd time I went through or not. I have completed the final 4 - 5 or 6 times now.
Is anyone else at the point where they are ready to wipe the cart and start over? I think the only thing I don't have is a Tauros and Kangaskhan...12 trips to the Safari Zone and only 2 sitings of Tauros and 6 of Kangashan with no luck catching.

For me it gets a bit boring once I've caught just about everything and ...I still need to get a bulbasaur. Playing the game over is more interesting than just repeatedly fighting the final 4 once there is no place new to explore.

I've collected so many, but probably not as many as a lot of people. I think I'm on 126 right now.

Ahhh - yeah, I would move everything over to Box first so I could trade back eventually. I prob won't reset it until after mid October when I am going to NY - just in case we are able to get the two other island tickets at the Pokemon Store in NYC. That way I will be close to completing my dex when we go. I think I have 256 now so I have good start.

I have Sapphire and LeafGreen, and two GBAs and a link cable, so I suppose I could get a lot of it myself, but still.....

Ekans, Growlithe, Shellder, Electabuzz, Scyther, Wooper, Murkrow, Qwilfish, Delibird, Seedot, Mawile, Zangoose, Solrock, Groudon
That doesn't count the presently-unobtainable legendaries (Mew, Lugia, Deoxys, etc.) or the restarting you'll have to do to get all the starters, fossils, etc.

 Signature ----------- Deep Thought ----------- Erase the Earth to g-mail me.
John Salerno - 21 Sep 2004 21:45 GMT >>Is Box compatible with FR/LG? > > Yes - once you unlock the national dex. I thought I read it wasn't compatible with FR/LG, or maybe R/S? Or you can use it with all four games?

Or you can > use it with all four games? Works fine with all four - we can all store to and pull from same box - right now we are using separate mem cards to keep collection separate.
