Generally playing the older games whenever the mood strikes me, but in particular, I've been working towards getting all five Trainer Stars in Diamond.

The first was by far the easiest: conquer the Pokémon League. Did that ages ago. It's the other four stars I still need to get.

One of the other four is relatively simple: steal 50 Flags from other players in the Underground. I have two DS systems I can use for this, and yes, I can steal Flags from the same player again and again and it counts. I just haven't gotten around to that little grind yet.

Another requires a streak of at least 100 wins in the Battle Tower. I've been working towards that one by using a team of two Ghosts and a Blissey. The basic idea is to kill one 'mon with Gengar (either through direct attacks or Sash + Counter), then have Gengar and Froslass kill the other two with Destiny Bond, which gets past a lot of the usual Hax Tower BS, while Blissey serves as backup against overly bulky foes and other weirdness. My current best streak is 63.

Yet another needs me to win a Master Rank Super Contest of any one category. I just need to figure out an optimal strategy, then settle in for that grind.

And the final one needs, of course, a complete Pokédex. (The Mythicals and Lugia/Ho-Oh aren't needed for this, but I got them anyway because the fan servers replacing Nintendo Wi-Fi are awesome like that.) I'm almost done with this one: I literally have 492 of the 493 Pokémon registered as caught. The very last one I need is Zangoose. Problem is, I don't have Ruby or XD: Gale of Darkness. I do have HeartGold, and it is possible to catch Zangoose in the Safari Zone there, but it requires this whole elaborate setup and multiple steps that the game needs me to wait three real hours in-between for some reason. I'll get that Zangoose eventually, though!

I think I have all but the Contest and Battle Tower stars in my Diamond. I have a Zangoose in mine if you wanted to trade on the fan DNS wifi sometime!

Lately I've been slowly working toward getting all the Medals in my White 2. I'm at 209/255!
