Well, you're still further than me. I'm only working on my third badge.
I got into Pokemon in high school, back when the original Red and Blue games were out. I don't remember what made me pick it up back then. I probably tried it out when I was babysitting for some kids. Even though it has a reputation for being a kids' game I have to say it's quite addictive.
I could use a cranidos.

Waddya want for it? Bear in mind that I only have 52 pokemon in my pokedex at the moment, though if you have Diamond I'd be happy to catch a few Pearl-only pokemon for you.
My friend code is 3824 1493 2376.
