Profile
I'm Drake. I've been into Pokemon since the days of Yellow, but don't watch the anime anymore. Currently I've played every Generation III and prior game, with the exception of Leaf Green, and beaten them all. I haven't played Generation IV because I don't have a DS, but once I get it I'm sure I'll end up buying a IV game sometime. It sounds as thought they've really gotten complicated with the move system though, which is not appealing to me, but I'll see for myself someday.
Shinies
I've caught a Shiny Caterpie in Fire Red and subsequently evolved it into Shiny Butterfree. I also have a Shiny Magikarp on Ruby that I haven't evolved yet. In Crystal I got myself a Shiny Magby from the Daycare Egg and evolved it into a Shiny Magmar. Pink is not its color, it really isn't.
Teams
In every game I play, I make my team right off the bat, decide what Pokemon are in my final lineup, when I'll get them, and what to use until then. That in mind I follow the plan and form my team ASAP and start pumping them up. In my earlier days I made a point of replaying a game several times and never using the game Pokemon twice, so I got pretty good at knowing who learns what when and overall what Pokemon work well.
These are some of the teams I've formed, and by that I mean these are the ones I can remember.
Team Darkness
This team is sorely outdated, back in Generation II. It was pretty tough back then, but now, not so much. Obviously, the theme was darkness and evil. They were all at 60 for the Battle Tower on Crystal, but I think I ended up raising them higher, can't remember, it's been a while.
The only member of the team I was never really proud of was Sneasel - it never really worked out with it, it learns all sorts of special moves and lacks the damn Spec.Atk to use them properly. Everyone else rocked, especially Team Leader Gengar, my prime sweeper. There was almost nothing it couldn't nail a type advantage against.
Until I found out you can't trade Generation II games with III, I had planned to kick out Sneasel and Quagsire and replace them with Sharpedo and Absol, but obviously that never happened.
Team Dragon
My Gen III Dragon all-star team, I had planned it out and trained the Pokemon, but my dad lost his GBA and thus the trades to actually put the team together never happened, although all the members were ready to go. I have fairly easy requirements about what I consider Dragons. I love Dragons as a whole, I collect them, and one of my fondest/terrifying moments as a kid was watching Lance's Dragonite sweep my entire team on Yellow. So Dragon-types have made an impression on me since Game 1.
I remember being pleasantly surprised with Sceptile. I'd come to expect a lot of things from Grass-types by Gen II - low speed, lousy move pool, general uselessness. But I never expected a Grass-type Dragon, much less one as strong as Sceptile. It remains a favorite of mine, although Grovyle looks cooler. At the time I didn't have any experience raising Milotic, but now that I've recently got one and seen what it can do, it would take the place of Gyarados should I remake the team some time.
In the end, Altaria ended up taking the crown for disappointment. I was surprised when my sweet little Swablu became a mighty Dragon - with a limited movepool offset only by TMs, low speed and high defense. In other words, IMO Altaria is what a Dragon Pokemon should "not" be, and it was quickly kicked off the team to make way for another Dragon, one that ended up usurping the title of Team Leader from Flygon. It took me a while to figure out the little head-busting scamp could only be found in one room in Meteor Falls, but it was worth the bother...
I can't remember their levels, but I do recall their moves sets. Also, I'm not confident about Aggron. I remember raising one and planning a movepool for it, but don't recall if it actually made the final cut. But it's as good as anything to put up for now.
Team Current
My current team replaying Ruby, which I'm currently going through Victory Road. Thus, I don't care enough to list their levels and moves because they're subject to change.
