Emolga are the worst thing in an electric gym. Damn flying electric type...

[birdy51]

The way I see it, you may want to evolve Roggerola if you can.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Yes. Force feed rocks to all Emolga.

[Tawa]

Roggenrola is the answer, yeah. Otherwise you'll just wanna level up quite a bit. Herdier should by all means be your answer to Zebstrika or Blitzle or whichever electric zebra she has.

[Sirus]

Leveling up Roggenrola sounds like a good idea. The first gym trainer badly wounded three of my team with those damn Emolga, despite all of my mons having the same level as the flying pikachus. I did some training on my Blitzle and gave the Yamask a try, and everyone except Roggenrola are at least level 24 now.

Yamask actually isn't bad. Using Will-o-wisp to burn enemies is a nice tactic, not only lowering enemy Attack but dealing damage every turn and even opening them up to extra damage from Hex. She's also pretty solid defense-wise, having high Def and SpDef. Maybe not the best choice for fighting Elesa but I doubt she'll get permanently boxed.

ETA: HAH! Oh man, that worked out well. I got Roggenrola to level 25, at which point she evolved. I decided to challenge Elesa immediately afterwards.
Round 1: Boldore vs Emolga. Emolga used Volt Switch, dealing probably 75% damage to Boldore and switching to Elesa's other Emolga. Smack Down dropped it to a sliver of health. I took a gamble that Elesa would use the turn to heal, and I used Smack Down again. Elesa spent a Hyper Potion, but Emolga died anyway. One all.
Round 2: Blitzle vs Emolga. The AI must have known that Blitzle had Lightningrod, since all it did was Quick Attack. Two Shock Waves (the second powered up by Charge and then crit) took Emolga down. 2 all.
Round 3: Herdier vs Zebstrika. Nothing elegant here, just Herdier digging for her life while Zebstrika pummeled her with Volt Switch. Two Digs did the job, though Herdier was down to less than 10 HP when it was finished. 3 all, match goes to me

Whippersnappers.  I started with Yellow.  Hell, I actually got an official Mew traded to me (via link cable!) when Toys 'R' Us was doing the whole Pokémon League thing. 

I remember Gold and Silver coming out when I was starting college  >_>

[Sirus]

Who you calling a whippersnapper? I started with Blue. Geddoff mah lawn!

Haven't had your... erm, coffee yet?


I started with Silver. I've still got it and two Yellow carts lying around somewhere.

[umiman]

I still have the gigantic off-white Gameboy. Get on my level.

[Akura]

I had a transparent one. ...Until the batteries exploded inside it.

[Aklyon]

I have a teal GBC and the sound is shot. But everything else works whenever I find it somewhere in the house.

Green.

((Nah, I started with Blue, too. ^_^))

I had two.  They no longer work -_-

However, my Gameboy pocket, Gameboy color, and whatever the hell that flip-phone-like Gameboy Advance thing was do still work. 

Also, it is criminal that we can have sticks, knobs, a dozen buttons, and face-tracking 3D effects, but we can't have SNES/GBA games on the new handhelds.  And only a fraction of the NES/Gameboy catalog T_T

Edit:  To at least be a bit on topic, trying to get all S-Ranks on that Pokémon Shuffle game is a cure for low blood pressure.

flip-phone-like Gameboy Advance thing

GBA SP, the first to have a rechargeable battery and backlight toggle. (and if its not the first, then whatever was only came out in japan most likely and doesn't count )

It was also far superior compared to the /other/ GBA thing, the micro.

[Lightningfalcon]

The SP was awesome because your parent's wouldn't yell at you for having the light on in the car at night.
