After a very long time, including Salix moving into the internet in general, and mostly ignoring Pokémon, having moved onto other games as the family eventually bought a PS2 and Dark Cloud claimed her attention, Salix was given a DS as a gift (and Tetris, which Salix is still ignoring and will continue to in the future. It's not that fun, folks). She then, in a mildly convoluted fashion, refound her GBC, found it had Link's Awakening instead of the game show, and her sister then found an extra copy of Gold somewhere which has lost it's ability to retain save files. It is currently residing in the GBC. After some rather varied game playing, was also given a Wii as a two-months-late Birthmasish present, and after some debating with herself got My Pokémon Ranch. Now this may seem a bit odd, as Salix has not mentioned Diamond or Pearl anywhere yet, but the reasoning behind this was that she could afford it, and she was planning on filling the ranch up with... well, not much, but some plotting later led to the plan of exploiting Hayley and borrowing a friend's Pokémon. After a while of this, the same friend that gave her the DS took pity on her and bought her Diamond as well.

Salix's brilliant idea was to then name the game after specific characters and make their teams for them (it's a long story. Suffice it to say she was bored one day). Now, the one team was easy as someone traded her the eggs for them, but the second team was a bit harder. As in she passed the Elite Four, caught all the easily available legendaries and did a good section of her Pokédex before realizing she really wanted a game of her own. As you might guess, this was a bit hard, as besides the Pokémon she had originally come for and the amassed legendaries, she'd also caught all the Unowns and had traded several Pokémon from Hayley. Not to mention the incredible amount of things amassed through digging in the Underground, like 30 Heart Scales and 20 Thunder/Fire/Sun Stones. Yes, each. Luckily, friend who gave her Diamond was willing to hang onto the Pokémon/items until she'd caught enough to trade back. Unluckily, he also put a limit on how many Pokémon could be traded. After a small amount of tweaking, being choosy, and giving up, Salix managed to keep about 102 of the Pokémon from the game, including several from after Elite Four, all the legendaries, all the Unowns, the two HM slaves, the main team, and the Pokémon that the game had originally been started for. Whew. Just before this point the same friend lent her his Emerald, and she salvaged several of for her main game. Of course, everything else went on the Ranch, which shows that she was obviously looking ahead. Somehow. Since then, Salix has been trying to collect one of every pokemon plus gender differences, and trying to find the elusive Lati in her Emerald game.

Salix would like to point out that since she only recently got back into Pokémon, lives in Canada, and refuses to cheat, the only event Pokémon she has is through other games. She got Phione through Ranch, will get Mew through it, and got Manaphy from someone with Ranger. She finally managed to pick up Sapphire second-hand and got the new Ranger just in time to get the Darkrai mission. She still has no access to Deoxys, Celebi etc.  
Recently, Salix was doing a cleaning job on her room, and happened to find two cartridges; Red and Gold. Amazed, she plunked the Red in the GBC and found that at some point in the past, she restarted. So she still doesn't know what her first team/starter was. Then, preparing for the worst, she threw Gold in the slot and turned it on. Got the opening "oh, you didn't insert it right/there's dust in the slot/this game is gone" screen, removed cartridge, blew air in both cartrige and slot and tried again. Gold booted up. With a saved game, but no clock. The only reason why Salix didn't freak out with happiness was because the rest of the house was sleeping. She promptly spent four hours writing down every single caught pokemon in that game. And hatching the three eggs hanging around the boxes.
