I'm pretty sure you can still catch Mr Briney's boat until you get Surf. Did you go back to Slateport at all?The mistake I made was actually a bug in the game also. In my first game, when i was 7 years old, in sapphire I couldn't beat Brawly, the second fighting gymleader so I just gave up because I was little and didn't feel like trying too much. I delivered Stevens letter and went on to Mauville. at some point I needed his badge to move on but I couldn't go back and battle him and I was stuck. My laziness killed my game.
Technically speaking I don't think it's even necessary to get Brawly's badge until the Elite Four. When I was younger I actually tested this out; it's possible to skip his gym entirely since no story based events happen after it and Flash is more helpful than necessary. It's just that at the Elite Four gate they refuse to let you in. So, I'm not sure how you got stuck, exactly.The mistake I made was actually a bug in the game also.

Actually you need four badges before you can challenge Norman, and you need to beat Norman to get Surf. You can skip Winona though.Technically speaking I don't think it's even necessary to get Brawly's badge until the Elite Four.

That's not too bad, that means you basically did a solo run.hmmm, one is only training one pokemon in pokemon diamond.
Lol no, I had to get my friend's arceus that was level 100. we were such noobs.That's not too bad, that means you basically did a solo run.
Er, yeah, I meant Sentret. No idea why I thought it was Linoone.But linoone is generation 3, and you were playing gold...
But what's funny is that I never liked charizard, I like venusaur!
Guess which one is NU and which is OU! lol
