I got a Japanese ditto from a wonder trade.

I play pokemon in the morning and evening a couple of hours at a time. I'm fairly used to the game so I tend to walk through it. The majority of wild battles are meaningless to me so I admit I skip them. I reached the league with all lvl.40s despite skipping most of the wila encounters... I tend to focus on XP later at teh four because you can level up faster.

So long as you make it to the 3 member each attempt, you also turn a profit each attempt money wise, I milk the league for money also. I don't rush to beat the league whatever the case may be. Beating the game slows you down, because fo the cut scenes and all that so if your just milking the XP and money, let your team die either on the champ or 3/4th member of the four.

You can also go back and re-battle some old trainers (glad this is in but the trainers don't always give much fight). And "FLy" is redundant once the Eon flute is in your hands, so going for a start-grade bird like most games has no benefit. I held on for the the cloud bird pokemon.... Plus you can mega evolve it this game. Exloud is my only team member who can mega evolve and he is walking over most fights alone anyway, so those he can't the others can do. It is frustrating that you are limited by the number of megas per battle but I don't give items to my pokemon for NPC battles regardless of what they are. I don't fight on line so I'm not a competitive battler and aside from casual, I won't battle anyone.
