Description
Seeing how Pokeshaming is becoming viral and how I am not the most enthusiastic about it (but can't help jumping on the bandwagon), I created a parody: trainer shaming.I have played RSE (all of them) a total of 4 times, and it have never gotten to the ending of the game.
*WARNING: STUPID EXCUSES AHEAD*
My first Pokemon game was Ruby when I was seven, and I never completed it because I lost the cartridge and Gameboy at someone's house.
The second play was getting an emulated version on my phone, in which I deleted out of disinterest (stupid Brawly and his fighting Pokemon) when exp grinding became too tiring.
On my third try, I played a Sapphire ROM on my computer and got to Victory Road before I accidentally deleted it while cleaning up my program files. Don't ask me how that happened. >.<
My fourth time was the Emerald play-through on an emulator, once again. However, the USB stick I had it on snapped. (I also lost a couple other ROMs).
Another thing to mention while talking about Gen III: Gardevoir. On all my runs, I have caught a Ralts to use out of jealousy of Wally's and it became tradition. Probably that's why I like Gardevoir so much.

If you kept catching Ralts... yeah, that'd deal with the Brawly issues, if gotten to or near Kirlia levels, easily.
I technically started with Ruby when I started poking at the games, but ended up deciding Emerald looked like a more 'complete' experience for Gen3. I also, uh... admit to a bit of 'cheating' to make sure I had a Ralts 'pre-starter', as I like to call it... prior to saving Birch, I made a Ralts egg in my savegame, female, with decent stats but not perfect IVs (in later Gens her 'Characteristic' would be 'highly curious') and Modest nature. She also got Thunderbolt as essentially a starting move once hatched in Littleroot (I make the probably lame excuse that her and her human found TM24 during some 'adventuring' before the game's events) so she could shock the Poochyena (okay, so it was a Zigzagoon in Emerald- I was still working off of how Ruby started)... not to mention I have an affinity for lightning and storms, so it fit with a theme (I've since decided the Ralts, now a Gardevoir, named Filimena- or Filia for short -also shares this affinity... her IVs actually line up for Electric-type Hidden Power, if she would ever use it). Admittedly it's a very powerful move to have so soon, but at the same time, it's not like you really fight major enemies that are actually weak to it all that early, either. Just makes dealing with regular trainers and wilds easier. It's become a staple of her moveset, in any case, and she will never give it up, so there's no chance of her learning a Fairy move in Gen6 unless she wants to give up her one buff/non-attack move (her moves right now are Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Calm Mind)
Anyway, with such 'hax' beginnings, I started playing the game normally, getting a Mudkip (Oh, how cheap little Murdoch was against Wattson and Flannery! I should have used him against Roxanne, too, but I just brute-forced with Confusion at Lv20 because I wanted Filia to be a Kirlia ASAP) and a few others... but eventually I did push through and face the Elite Four with an epic team at Lv60 that also included an Aggron, Absol, Milotic, and Tropius. Almost all except the Milotic directly participated in taking down the Elite Four and Champion Wallace. If I had thought to teach the Milotic Ice Beam, she would have helped take Drake down (would have ice-nuked his Flygon), but as it stands, it was a combined effort of the Aggron (Brienne), Filia, and Murdoch for that specific Elite Four member.
I was heavily invested in Filia and her 'family', so that helped me stick with it... I also fortunately didn't have any unfortunate mishaps with hardware during my playthrough- the Downloads directory where my emulator folders lie was relatively safe from August this year (when I started) until now (with me part-way through SoulSilver with that same team, only they were reset to Lv10 and imported on arrival to Violet City- they're currently around Lv42, after claiming Clair's Rising Badge). I've since gotten myself doing a writing project, Chronicling their adventures in Johto, and hope to eventually go back and write their origins in Hoenn once they face Lance and claim victory over the Indigo League. The writing is seriously slowing down my progress through the series, but I'm enjoying it.
My companions were more than just a bunch of fighters to me before, but now... they're complex individuals with their own interpersonal relationships, their own stories to tell. And if I said I was unlikely to leave them behind before... well, there's no chance of that, ever, now. They will be coming with me from Gen to Gen, and I will find the way to do it.

i've never beat any elite four.
but once i get my gba working again, i'm gonna wrap up fire red and sapphire, then soulsilver, pearl, and black 2, then finally transfer my starters from all of them over to X.
From there i'll beat X, then once I get alpha sapphire, i'll dump everyone in and have a whole legion of ubers right off the bat.
Sceptile's coming home, bitches!

So... what about the original Black and White games? Admittedly you posted this two years ago, but still... Black and White, then Black 2 and White 2 are two separate games, technically- two separate, but interlinked stories involving two versions of Team Plasma, two sets of Gym Leaders (though many familiar faces), and a different Champion, at the very least. I plan to go with White and then Black 2, myself, whenever I get to that point.
I started with (or at least finished first) Emerald, I'm in SoulSilver now, I plan to move on to Platinum next, then White, Black 2... I'll work out what I do next after that.
I'm rather upset there's no true Delta Emerald, and just Delta Episode, to be honest. I want to face both Magma and Aqua, watch as they face off against each other before me, and I want to see both Maxie and Archie butt heads and then realize they both messed up in gloriously reproduced, remastered visuals and dialog. But we didn't get that, from what I understand. >: (

I honestly think Gen 3 elite 4 is one of the hardest ones, next to gen 5 ლ(◕‿‿◕ლ)

I think there have been a few trainer shaming pictures out there before this, so while you didn't create it, you definitely made a good example. Very funny. Love Gardevoir's expression!
