RE: KoN's Bandwagon Jump/Choose My Team
Why do people always make me think of nicknames; I'm horrible at that! Feel free to use different names for my suggestions if you use them. I will only recommend generation 4 Pokémon, because I like using the Pokémon introduced in the generation to play through it.
Zui quan the Infernape - I think one should never abandon their starter! Infernape is my favourite starter from generation 4. I love Fire-types and he has a good design and a wide variety of moves. The name is a Chinese fighting style, which is literally translated as "drunken fist". As a move recommendation, don't evolve it until it learns Slack Off! That's level 41 as a Chimchar or 49 as a Monferno. I recommend keeping it as a Monferno until level 49, since you'll have the dual typing and a stronger Pokémon to work with.
Note: To stick with the traditional fighting style, make sure it's Male!
Wetberry the Bronzong - Bronzong has very few weaknesses and a good defence. It takes hits for you and does some decent damage. The nickname is based on its Pokédex entry.
Unstoppable the Rampardos - You didn't have any Rock types on your list and the region's fossil Pokémon seems like a good option to me. It has an incredibly high attack stat - that is actually all it's good at. The Pokémon that only attacks, and doesn't stop attacking. That's what the name is based on.

RE: KoN's Bandwagon Jump/Choose My Team
Didn't even know Monferno learned Slack Off. 0_0
Chimchar is arguably the easiest starter, but maybe it will be tougher not evolving him right away.
Bronzong is definately an option. I've used one before and you're right, thy can take a few hits.
Rampardos is awesome. ...Nope, no need to say anything else.

RE: KoN's Bandwagon Jump/Choose My Team
I'm very anxious to start this run.
Unless I get more suggestions, I'll probably start late tomorrow, with the first chapter up... Before the weekend I would hope.

RE: KoN's Bandwagon Jump/Choose My Team
The Team:
Roserade named Utena
Gastrodon named Slugger
Frosslass named Skadi
Infernape named Zui Quan
Drapion named Stalker
Garchomp named Megalodon
I do love my dual types.
I already have the first chapter written completely from memory, so that will definitely be posted before the weekend.

RE: KoN's Bandwagon Jump/Choose My Team
If you're unable to get a Skull Fossil for Rampardos, might I recommend a different fossil 'mon to add to your team?
You could revive a Shield Fossil for a Bastiodon and name it either Pridwen, after King Arthur's shield, or Tarmac, just because it sounds likes it would be a good name for a thing with a bulldozer for a face.
Edit: I can't exactly say you ninja'd me, since I had the page idling for two hours before I posted, but good choices, nonetheless!

RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run
Oh, terrific. I made some good choices.
@TT, sorry for my psuedo-ninja post.
That is a very good suggestion, but I'm not sure if I would have chosen it over what I already picked.
Thanks though!
Edit: I also want to say that I had a really hard time picking a team.
Though I'm happy with what I was eventually able to decide on.

[align=center]Keeper's PokéBeach Platinum Run
You can't tell me that doesn't sound cool.[/align]Game start.
Not usually fun, but always necessary.
Oh no.
It seems that, like the rest of this bandwagon, the PokéBeach members have decided to take over my game. I just hope the rest of the characters don't think we're in a WW game too.
The TV was on, though I had no idea how I ended up watching it. Professor Camo was on, apparently.
The rival character dashed in and out of the room, but I never did get a good look at his face. Oh well, I'm sure I'll see him again later.
I ignored the generic "mom" character and went outside.
I know I'm supposed to find my rival at his house, so I went there next. Of course, he came out of the house and almost ran me over first.
Yup. My pal Gistica was my rival again.
After we headed back inside to grab what he had forgotten, he threatened to fine me ten-million dollars for holding him up. Lovely.
I had to try to hurry, but running is physically impossible in the game without the Running Shoes. Makes me wonder how my rival can run already.
Thank goodnessRowan camoclone showed up and stopped us.
I figured Gistica would challenge me now, but nothing seemed to happen...
Until the battle music played.
vs.
Not enough to say about this battle, just lots of Scratching and Pounding.
Of course I won, gg.
<Gistica> I'm going to beat you one of these times.
<Keeper> Cool story bro.
*Gistica has left #Route201
I was then sent back "home" where I was instructed by the motherbot to go see camoclone again, which I knew I had to do anyway. I also got the Running Shoes!
/Accomplishment
Then I go outside and towards Route201, but Gistica stops me. Apparently, he wants to go catch a legendary pokémon.
But someone was there already. Someone I'd gone against before. Someone very evil.
Interesting.
So yeah, things weren't thought through well and we didn't have any pokeballs with which to catch the supposed legendary. Ah well, like we could have done anything to it anyway.
So we left the Lake!
On the way to Sandgem, I picked up the free potion from the employee. Chimchar also beat up some random Bidoofs and we made our way into town.
PMJ was waiting for me (scary) and led me inside the lab. Though not before Gistica hurried out and down the next route.
Pretty sure that was a threat. Oh well.
I was given TM Return for my troubles.
Now I get to be shown around by PMJ. He threatened to walk slower if I mashed the A button and ignored him. I did it anyway.
I guess, instead of walking slower, the punishment was having to return to Twinleaf.
So I did, I made the long trek back to Twinleaf. Along the way, Zui Quan learned Ember.
Once at home, I found out that Gistica had left a package behind. Of course, this now meant that I had to take it to him.
Finally, I was allowed on Route202.
...Then why send me all the way back to Twinleaf Town?

<camoclone> Hello! Welcome to my WW game! I'm your host, camoclone!
Oh no.

<Keeper> Watch it!
<Keeper> ...
<Keeper> Why are you my rival?
<Gistica> ...
<Gistica> I don't know.
<Gistica> I think its because I was your rival in the Blue run you never finished.
<Keeper> Oh yeah. I remember that.
<Gistica> It's also because you ran out of ideas.

<Gistica> Finally! Now we can run to Sandgem Town!
<Gistica> Running will let us avoid all the wild pokémon by hopping from one patch of grass to the other!
<Keeper> ?
<Keeper> Didn't you read the manual?
<Keeper> Running ATTRACTS wild pokémon.
<Gistica> Pfft. We'll be fine.
<Keeper> And I cant even run.

<camoclone> Did you receive your role PMs yet? You never confirmed.
<Gistica> What?
<Keeper> ...Still not a WW game.
<camoclone> Keeper, if you don't stop trolling, I'll have to mod-kill you.
<Keeper> Don't you have an assistant or something?
<camoclone> Oh, that's right. Now, where did he go?
<%PMJ> Right here!
<%PMJ> And camo, you don't still think this is a WW game, do you?
<%PMJ> I explained this like, twenty times already.
<camoclone> Please give them their roles.
*PMJ stares at camoclone.
<%PMJ> Anyway, here in this briefcase are three pokémon. Go ahead and pick one.
*Keeper picks Chimchar!
*Gistica picks Piplup!
<Keeper> Going for the same strategy as last time?
<Gistica> It worked, didn't it?
<Keeper> No.
<Gistica> ...
<camoclone> Please come by my lab later to confirm your roles.

<Keeper> Oh right. Let's go with Drohn's suggestion of Zui Quan then.
<camoclone> Done. Thanks for confirming.
<%PMJ> I'm so glad you're nice to pokémon. If you weren't I'd have to... Oh I just can't say it.

RE: KoN's PokeBeach Platinum Run--Chapter 1
It's a full-blown bandwagon jump.
Woo!
I might actually come back to edit this chapter a bit after the weekend, since I know it's a bit rushed. Also, since I won't get a chapter posted next week due to holidays, it gives me something small to do.
Now, brb, gotta be the first to read DNA's new chapter.

So I'm Cyrus? I'm liking the sound of this, thanks for the awesome part!
I'm really considering hopping on the bandwagon and doing one of these myself, once my WW game is over. It seems like it could be fun.

Chapter 2
I was told there seems to be a lot of chat-script. The way I write these is:
--------------------------------
So! Read and enjoy!
Or, read and don't enjoy.
Or you could even not read and not enjoy. Your choice.
PMJ is everywhere apparently. He scolded me for not catching anything on the last route. I ignored him (though he followed) and headed for the Pokémon Center, but my quest was rudely interrupted.
PMJ finally left me, dropping the hint that Gistica was last online in #TrainerSchool.
First though, I ran up to Route 204. I didn't do much, and will be coming back, so I'll leave the big intro for another time. I did however beat all the available trainers and found a... Peculiar Budew.
Turns out my drunken fighter monkey has a QUIET nature.
I'm sure Zui Quan will open up more later after he gets his hands on a drink.
For the record, Utena has an Impish nature. Fits nicely for a forest-sprite thing... Right? Of course, I couldn't leave the route via the cave exit due to breakable rocks the size of my foot in the way. Can't step over those things!
I tried leaving Jubilife via Route 203 too, but blargh was there.
I noticed Gistica was busy reading, so I decided to battle the two kids in the corner.
I let Utena watch and learn as Zui Quan destroyed their Bidoof and Starly.
Then I noticed my friend/rival was getting ready to leave.
He rushed off before I could give it back to him, but I knew where I could kick his butt for it. It also seemed as though blargh gave up waiting for me, as I didn't see him around anymore.
Gistica was down the route a little ways, hiding just out of sight.

For the record, Utena has an Impish nature. Fits nicely for a forest-sprite thing... Right? Of course, I couldn't leave the route via the cave exit due to breakable rocks the size of my foot in the way. Can't step over those things!
I tried leaving Jubilife via Route 203 too, but blargh was there.
<blargh> Ah! Its you again Keeper!
<blargh> Aren't you supposed to be looking for our friend inside the Trainer School?
<Keeper> Just let me pass please. I want to grind.
<blargh> Ok! But first! You must let me help you with your Regionals deck list!
<Keeper> ...
<Keeper> Can't decide if worth it...
*Keeper runs.
*Keeper has entered #TrainerSchool.
(No I will not be using images for buildings, pseudo-Dawn is crazy.)

I noticed Gistica was busy reading, so I decided to battle the two kids in the corner.
I let Utena watch and learn as Zui Quan destroyed their Bidoof and Starly.
Then I noticed my friend/rival was getting ready to leave.
<Keeper> o/
<Gistica> \o
<Keeper> You forgot a map.
<Gistica> So?
<Gistica> Nobody ever uses those things.
<Keeper> It's just story-line, dude. Open the package.
*Gistica opens the parcel.
<Gistica> Here, I don't want it.
<Keeper> No way! I don't want it either.
<Gistica> Too bad.
*Keeper has obtained a Town Map.
<Gistica> Later!
*Gistica has left #TrainerSchool.

<Keeper> ...
He rushed off before I could give it back to him, but I knew where I could kick his butt for it. It also seemed as though blargh gave up waiting for me, as I didn't see him around anymore.
*Keeper has entered #Route203
Gistica was down the route a little ways, hiding just out of sight.
<Gistica> o/
<Keeper> \o
<Gistica> Did you see blargh up there? He wanted my deck list and everything.
<Keeper> Can't blame him for helping.
<Keeper> What about you? Do you have a deck for Regs?
<Gistica> Uh... Well...
<Gistica> Lets fight! Cue the music!
vs.
vs.
While Gistica thought it smart to spam Growl, I had Zui Quan burn the thing into oblivion with Ember. I think he used Quick Attack... Once.
I let Zui Quan switch out for Utena since Piplup probably knew Bubble by now.
<Utena> HIII Piplup!
vs.
Again, Gistica is leading off with Growl. I decide to use Growth just to make my life easier.
After two turns of Growl and Growth, Piplup hits with Bubble and Utena hits back with Absorb.
Piplup couldn't handle a second Absorb, and fainted. gg
<Utena> <(^.^)< >(^.^)>
<Gistica> Where did you catch a Kirby?
<Keeper> It's a Budew.
<Gistica> Acts like a Kirby.
<Utena> >_<
<Gistica> Anyway, I'm off to get my first badge!
