Is hard but it's not that hard, if Zexy had become a blaziken. They would had rolled thought the elite. As long as we get a decent team, we can win it.
'Tis a joke. It depends entirely on what our team looks like at that point. Will we catch a legendary? Will we keep our starter? Will we (we probably will) have a Staraptor? If we have a decent team with decent movesets, we might be able to do it at around the 80s.
If we buy and use potions, even in anarchy we can probably do it in the 70s.
If we were to (god forbid) use democracy for the E4, we could do it in the 50s.
Staraptor is obscene in-game, but if we get one it won't learn Close Combat (learns it at the level it evolves), so that might reign it in a bit.
There was also Torterra.
Nay.

The pocketch was the best thing of the game. Sadly it would be impossible to use.

I also spent a ridiculous amount of time digging underground by myself for items.
Maybe a very stupid question but has celebi ever been catchable in any game? Also, it can do time stuff right? That's its story?
I have no idea why but I randomly woke up wondering about celebi and am scared to google because I might get spoilers.
Please tell me all you can about celebi without spoiling anything else pokemon related! I want to be a celebi master.

It was an event Pokemon in HeartGold/SoulSilver. Its event involved time travel.
Odd question.....
The only time Celebi has ever been catch-able is in the Japanese version of GSC. There was an event where they distributed the GS Ball, and apparently you take that to Kurt, wait a day, he gives it back to you, and then you take it to the Ilex Forest Shrine and a level 30 Celebi appears to battle. The GS Ball was never distributed outside Japan.
In HGSS there was an event Celebi distributed, and if you took it to the Ilex Forest Shrine it would take you back in time first to the place where Giovanni and his son went their separate ways and second to a cave behind Tohjo Falls where you battle Giovanni.
In BW1 if you take a Gen 4 event Celebi (it might be the same one required for the HGSS event, I don't remember) to this weird kid who doesn't talk in Castelia City, Celebi comes out of its ball and talk to the kid. The kid transforms, revealing it's actually a Zorua, and if you have an open slot and pokeball you get the Zorua for free. Before BW2 this was the only way to acquire a Zorua (aside from the event Zoroark also in BW1).

Otherwise I agree with most of what you're saying there, but I like Sinnoh as a region and I think it's one of the best personally.

We also get three strength puzzles in the DISTORTION WORLD followed up with Cyrus and an incredibly bulky ghost (dragon) type
Yes, but there's only two fights in a row there. The only bad part is getting back there if we fail. With Cynthia you have to plow through all of the elite 4, which is going to be a trainwreck no matter what.

Relax, he is only lvl 62. I don't even think Garchomp is the worst Cynthia Pokemon. I had a lot of trouble with that Damn Togekiss

Milotic and Spirit Tomb were worse for me in my playthrough, but Im pretty sure I had something that floored Garchomp
Think my Empoleon could survive an Earthwuake (barely) and KO with Ice BEam

I don't remember much about that Garchomp. Except that it had Giga Impact.
What Pokemon if any has the best chance of rolling through Cynthia's team? Is Azelf catchable before reaching the elite 4

Yes.
In fact, Azelf is amazing in game for getting BoltBeam coverage, Flamethrower/Fire Blast, Psychic, and an amazing offensive movepool overall while being before E4
It also gets Explosion...
And is frail as hell, makes Bird Jesus look bulky
I honestly wonder if our best bet is to keep Staraptor, Luxray and a Gyarados and just keep swapping between the three of them to weaken Gyarados with Intimidate.
/implying that the three of them would survive that long
Edit: Azelf doesn't learn Ice Beam, and there's no bloody way the Mankeys are catching Mespirit.

In my Platinum run I had a Magnezone and he did great. But he would get mirked by Bertha and Flint. I had a Rotom Wash also but I don't think that event will be available. I think we might need a Garchomp of our own (which I had also and still barely won again my first run with cynthia)

I've never played a gen 4 game but I hear lots of good things about Platinum. Why does it have to be $90 on Amazon
EDIT: Would you guys recommend a used copy? I hear many DS games are pirated copies so..

Platinum is just a really really solid RPG. My disappointing playing White after it, was the equivalent of a boy learning Santa is not real.

What the hell...
No way
I need proof, $90!!
Platinum was everywhere in bargain bins for next to no money two or three years ago and I didn't pick it up because I had HG and Black to play (I bought one copy of Platinum to give it away because I'm cheap as fuck) but now they're gone forever and I'm kind of mad at myself for not getting it when it was easy to get.

Yeah. Shouldn't expect them to catch a roamer at all.
Especially when Cresselia only pops up after you beat the Elite Four and get the National Dex.

The runner are surprisingly easy to run into, thanks to the awesome pocketch app. Again, how the hell are we going to use them? =(

Story?
Er... Well, Lance in this universe switched to poison types after his monumental defeat to a Venomoth.
Lorelei's team died after TPPRed and they now bare a grudge against TPP.
After everyone moped about how Altaria was useless, she unlocked her full potential and swept ghost Lorelei despite having two Normal moves, providing TEH URN.
And err... Yeah, I wasn't paying much attention.

So, I think it took us 5 attempts on E4. Maybe 6 or 7
So anti-climatic
Liked TPPRandomized FireRed, but its definitely my least favorite TPP

Not that I'm not happy with an endless supply of Japanese Giratina.

That's what happens when you waste so much time on victory road, which is what I said before. Still, the last run was really fun and showed how awesome the team was.

Thank you. Very interesting stuff! Has celebi ever made an appearance in the anime?

That's a hell of a difference coming off of 100+ E4 runs in Emerald.
Yes, Celebi is shown in the episodes Celebi and Joy (Pokemon Chronicles) and The Green Guardian (Pokemon).
