Hey people! Tomorrow is the last day of school! I'm so excited for summer. I'm going to China over the break and I'm really happy. I might not post for a while, but I'll have a lot to write when I get back. I'll be leaving towards the end of June, so I'll have about a month of free time. And you know what free time means. That's correct; more time to argue with myself over whether I should post or not!

Yay!
Even though I constantly forget to post, my guide is finally getting long!
I'm sorry! I'm a disgrace to all guide writers!
In any case, I will try to post more.
I'm not sure if I told you, but I did beat Lance in HG, but once I got to Kanto? or was it Johto?
Anyways, I'm entirely confused! What is the order for gyms?! I just want to get to Prof. Oaks lab!
And then start from Brock to Misty and so on!
Well, I've finished telling my sob story. Please email me if you have any question! :)

I never thought of it until now, but my guides probably aren't useful since most people play newer games. I mean, think about it: how many game systems and games have come out since Sapphire came out? Though I guess it must be useful to someone if you're here.
I really like eclipses. This has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but it's true. I really like how they leave room for contemplation.
Lastly, can just anybody comment? I saw a comment tab in the thingymabob, but maybe you have to meet certain requirements to comment. I guess you can email me if you can't comment.
One more thing, do I say 'I guess' too much? I really aught to be more definitive. I sound like Uncle, how nostalgic :)

EXP
In Pokemon, as far as I know, the amount of EXP gained depends on 3 things.
1. The level of wild Pokemon
2. The wild Pokemon's evolutionary stage.
3. Just the Pokemon you're battling against.
In other words, a level 56 Poliwhirl will give less EXP than a level 56 Poliwrath. Say you're surfing, surfing and surfing some more, and you run into that level 56 Poliwhirl and battle it with your level 23 Marill. Your Marill somehow manages to beat the Poliwhirl and it's EXP bar fills seven eighths of the way up. You finish the battle and switch your first Pokemon to your level 63 Flaffy. Then you run into another level 56 Poliwhirl. You beat it and your EXP bar only goes up one eighth of the way. That doesn't mean that Flaffy received less EXP, but rather, it needs more EXP to level up. The EXP bar never changes, so it would only be natural that the increments that it fills up by changes. Of course this might not be true in the case of legendaries, but I don't battle them on a daily basis. The level or type of your Pokemon doesn't change the amount of EXP that you gain. It's just that the individual Pokemon will make it appear as if it gains more or less EXP. I know that Ralts is one of the more patience requiring ones and most bug Pokemon are easy to level up.
I'm not sure if there's a more scientific reason than just because behind it, but some Pokemon give more EXP when defeated than others. I noticed it when training my Pokemon to defeat Lance, but it never really registered more than 'Donphan Donphan Donphan Donphan, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's an Onix... Why not at least a Graveler, or Golbat? *sniffle*' It actually occurred to me when going through Granite Cave, how I ran away from Zubats because they didn't give very much EXP and I always hoped for Makuhitas.

Sigh... How many times have I tried to defeat Lance?,
Today I finished training my Pokemon to face the Indigo Plateau in Heart Gold. I defeated Will, Koga, Bruno, and Karen each only taking a few hits. Most of their Pokemon I defeated with one hit using type as well as level advantages. Then I came to face Lance with my starter at level 50 and the rest of my party at either 48 or 49 only to be defeated and having to reload... Truthfully I wouldn't have a problem being defeated and going back to train, but that means I would have to pay up a pretty penny to Lance. What to do indeed, I've already tried numerous times.
In conclusion. For all people about to face the Indigo Plateau in Heart Gold or Soul Silver-
Four the first four trainers, you shouldn't have a problem as long as your Pokemon have been sufficiently trained and you don't pit your Jumpluff against a Houndoom. (Your own Pokemon against one that's super-effective against it.) Lance is another story altogether. He has a level 46 Gyarados, a level 48 Aerodactyl, 2 level 49 Dragonite, a level 50 Dragonite, and another Pokemon that I haven't seen yet, though I doubt it's stronger than his level 50 Dragonite. His Gyarados is a piece of cake if you have a Pokemon that is super-effective against it. In my case it was my Ampharos. It took half of my party to take down his level 50 Dragonite, leaving me with a Poliwhirl, Ampharos, and Typhlosion. Once I was miraculously able to take down in of his level 49 Dragonite, but that left me with just my Poliwhirl. Other than that I was always defeated by one of his level 49 Dragonite. My only tip for you is to train train train! :)
