What a post to have be number 3000. xD
My first pokemon game was Pokemon Blue. I still have my copy and the same Gameboy I played it on. That and pokemon pinball are literally the only games I ever played for the Game Boy. |: Sadly the game got saved over by someone so the last time I wanted to try and play it, I had to restart from scratch instead of seeing what pokemon I used to beat the elite four.
I can guarantee you that my Charizard was the highest level though. All the others were probably level 30 or something lower.
"What do you mean I should use more than my Charizard? Charizard is the best pokemon!"

I'm finding dragon legendaries to get dull as well. Yes yes. Dragons are 'rare', but we don't need a dragon legendary every generation now. @_@
That's why I love Xerneas. Only some cruel twist of fate would make that pokemon a dragon type. All regal and majestic and awesome looking...
Whichever game has that one as it's Legendary, I might get that version. You know. If the other version doesn't have more appealing version specific pokemon. But Xerneas makes it ooooh so tempting to completely ignore that.

I'll end up getting both versions eventually..
I'm really hoping there will be a bundle for it. So I'm not preordering until the last minute.

Since we're still on memory lane.
There are a few very memorable battles I've had over the years. Lately more than most. I had a really intense battle with Sabrina in my last SS playthrough. I was down to my Tyranitar, all my moves other than sandstorm had been used up.
So for ten minutes, my Tyranitar had to sit through not being able to be hit, and not being able to attack, while Sabrina's last pokemon got hit every turn by sandstorm. Right when her pokemon would get into the red, she would use a full restore.
THREE TIMES. Three times she used a full restore through this. Finally after using up all of my sandstorm PP, I managed to land a struggle attack and KO the pokemon.

Oh **** this one time I was battling the Bug type leader in White 2 and I was down to my Riolu who was VERY underleveled at the time. He had his strongest pokemon out with most of his health and I only had one shot really. So I chose counter and I TOOK THE HIT! The counter KO'd it in one hit and at that moment, I knew I was a pokemon master.

I may end up getting the other version if it's really worth getting, but since my 3DS is actually connected to the internet I don't really have to worry about version exclusive pokemon if I can trade for them.
It'd have to take something big like the game playing a different way between versions for it to be worth it for me to buy both. I bought both Ruby and Sapphire when those games came out. One Generation I ever have and there's a reason I haven't done so since then. xD Feels like I spent way too much for two copies of the same game.

Yeah, and then you've got the inevitable "updated" game. So you'd wind up buying three of the same thing.
Also, here is a pretty nifty picture I found on reddit. It's big too.

The empty spots are types that don't have pokemon in them. This is referring back to a post earlier where I mentioned there are a lot of type variations that still haven't been used. This picture shows which ones. =]

Oh wow. That's pretty cool and convenient! xD
My most memorable battle was against Blue on my first Firered run through. Since I had beaten Blue several times, I went in the battle pretty cocky, since I had just wiped the floor with the elite four with ease. I only had one full restore, and no revives. Needless to say, I ended up having trouble. I ended up with my Chansey, with her HP down to nothing, and I was up against his Charizard, who was also in the red. However, it was way faster and I was sure I was a gonner. As a joke, I had my Chansey use blizzard, however, Charizard's attack ended up missing. Blizzard hit him and knocked him out. and that's how I got into the elite four.

My most memorable battle was against lance in soul silver. But it was so stressful that I can't even remember most of it.
All I remember is having one pokemon left and he had one pokemon left. My pokemon's HP was in the red. I had no more healing items. I wasn't even that low of a level from his pokemon. I just happened to be unlucky and get hit with a ton of critical hits. His last pokemon knocked me down to one HP. I attacked. Missed. He attacked... missed. I attacked again! CRITICAL HIT. His pokemon's down! I've finally beaten another elite four battle since back in the days of the first silver game! Wooooooo~

I feel pretty left out with people having awesome Champion battles. lol
My greatest battles have always been against gym leaders or normal trainers.

@_@ I wouldn't consider that a good thing. I admittedly was a few levels under what I wanted to be when I got there... mainly because at that point I was just tired of grinding and decided to charge in like Leeroy Jenkins.
I just somehow managed to win because of my careful pre-planning with pokemon and move sets. ...Though Sudowoodo was NOT a good choice for that. Sometimes I think my HM Slave Raticate would have done a better job. |:

No really, I wish I could have a good Champion battle. I've had decent ones. My White 2 Champion battle was pretty good. My same Tyranitar from SS managed to take out most of her team by himself, but was knocked out and my Breloom had a really tough time picking up.

They are practically empty. Maybe if the new region is based on Europe there will be a big snowy area to the north with lots of new ice pokemon. lol

Looking at that reminds me that types like grass/dark are different than dark/grass. I forget that sometimes. xD

I can understand where you're coming from. I guess it is pretty nice to have an interesting story to tell about the final four/champion fight.
Another story I have is catching Lugia in Soul Silver. I had to restart this battle over 100 times. I was convinced I'd end up seeing and fainting a shiny lugia before I ended up catching the dang thing. I even had pokemon to paralyze it or put it to sleep. It's HP was in the lowest of the red. I threw literally all my poke/great/ultra balls at it. Nothing. Every time. Then on another attempt I threw another ball. I forget which. First one. Got it.
I would have thrown my DS if I weren't so happy I finally caught it.

I like to have one or two pokemon dedicated to catching other ones. Pokemon that have a pretty good defense and know moves like false swipe, sing, ice punch. Freezing a pokemon is seriously annoying, but I think it's the best way to catch them.
Though sing and false swipe tend to be my main method. Put them to sleep and false swipe, so even if it crits, it still leaves them with 1HP.
