I finally did it. For those that care, I finally got every Pokemon up to Arceus on Pearl, and I didn't cheat to get the ones that mattered, though I must admit, codes were involved in getting Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. Be that as it may, I finally got the ones needed to "officially" complete the Pokedex, plus the ones unneeded. I feel both elated and relaxed.

As for special thanks, I have to thank my brother, for if it weren't for him, with Diamond, Platinum, and a number of other games, along with a few of his friends who had what I needed, I'd never have completed the Pokedex.
