Your team sounds fine for this point in the game. However, you may want to focus on just Chimchar and a couple others for the time being, as leveling up 6 Pokemon is a drag.
In terms of capturing, lower the HP as much as possible, use status-altering effects like Paralyze or Sleep, and throw away. I think it also helps to have a high level Pokemon out when you're throwing the Pokeball.

Well, I've tried hooking up WIFI Max (which claims it can turn any Internet capable PC to a wireless online gaming connection) to no avail. I just can't seem to get it to work but then again I'm pretty clueless when it comes to my computer. It's almost always trial and error tinkering here.
As far as the game goes... I've beaten the elite 4, captured the 3 legendary lake sprites(Mespirit is a pain because it's a runner), and opened up pal park. I'm currently on the trail of these one chance legendaries: Heatran, Rotum, Regigigas, Cresslia and Giratina. I can still trade or battle if any of you like. I'll just head down to the corner McD's late in the evening if someone wants to set up a time, battle and/or trade parameters here.
Right now the pokemon I want the most is a Glameow. I'll soon have Leafeon and Glaceon up for trades.

Man, I've only gotten the 4th badge so far...
I did get a Misdreavous in a trade, though.

Captured Rotum and Heatran today and am hot on the heels of Giratina as I type this.
Super Critical hit HonchKrow is a force to be reckoned with.

Man I havent played any Pokemon games in such a long time. I think the last one I played was Pokemon red version (very old, yes) I wonder how much thats worth on ebay now, either for really little or a crapload of cash.

SS if you plan to only use the Wireless internet for your DS, you should consider buying the Nintendo WiFi adapter. That thing is really easy to install and works perfectly.
As for in-game progress, I still only have 2 badges. I'm trying to catch as many creatures as I can. I think that's where I'm wasting all my time.
I got a question though...when you look up a pokemon in the pokedex and you check the 'area' tab to know where he can be caught, some pokemons have all the map flashing red, not just one road for example. Like if they were all over Sinnoh or something. What's up with that?

Gray the only reason I went with WIFI Max is the promised a WIFI connection with any Internet accessable PC and because I did a deal with the devil for a year of dial up service at 9.99 a month. I have until the fall to suffer through that contract.
Some Pokes are catchable over most of Sinnoh such as starly, bidoof, budew, machop, zubat and buziel. In fact many times you'll find them later at elite 4 challenging levels and in their evolved forms in the wild. If you are spending a lot of time evolving some of these for your pokedex but don't really intend on using them to face the elite 4 then you probably are wasting your time with some of them. At my point in the game I'm sick of seeing some of these pokemon come out; however, I did chose Buizel as one of my 6 core group members and as a HM slave.

Indeed I am sick of seeing Starly, Zubat or Bidoof. A few days ago I was attacked by an evolved Bidoof...a Bibarel I think it was called. That was a welcome change.

Is anyone else still playing? I've collected all the non-event legendaries in diamond and moved onto battling at the battle tower. Now I'm transferring old pokes over from the advance generation games with pal park and I'm willing to put all my past legends up for trade. I've also tried my hand at GTS trades and that's been fun. I got a palkia with it's luster orb for a vespiqueen. I also got a glameow, turtwig and a spiritomb for some baby chimchars and another vespiqueen. If anyone here has a manaphy or a fiore and wants to battle I'd like to do that in order to get them into my pokedex so I can later list them in a trade over GTS.
I'm also looking for someone who knows someone who is attending the Japanese Darkrai event in a few months.

I'm in the middle of a two-week self-imposed Pokemon hiatus right now.
Once I get back into it, I can help you out with Manaphy. I'll need to trade it to you (and have you trade it back) though, since battles with other players don't affect your Pokedex.

I'm now at the 'Great Marsh'...slowly working my way through the game when taking breaks from customizing.

I got some trades in over at serebii forums. I was trading away clones of event exclusive pokes for some shinies I've had my eye on but never seem lucky enough to encounter. Some guy changed his mind and dealt away the shiny Magmar I was supposed to get and instead offered me a Shiny Arceus. You know that thing is all sorts of hacked. ~SS~

I just caught Dialga yesterday.
Maybe I was just lucky, but I used only ONE Ultra Ball.
I'm not complaining, though.

I caught Palkia a few days ago. I tried with 3 ultra balls and it didn't work, so I used the master ball (the one that'll catch anything).
If I decided to simply win the fight with Palkia and not capture it, could I still capture it later on?
And what are these "event" type pokemons you're talking about, SS?
