Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Personally I don't think there's much of a difference, although I have to admit I would love to be able to RNG on my disk with my old gamecube :D That would be amazingly fun!
So, I've updated my post, as I saw another 'mon. In the future, I'll happily level your pokemon for credits, I'll aim to catch you on later or next weekend, since I'm prepping a team for a Manchester Friendly tournament.
Of course, so long away, I need to reassociate myself with it all. Would you consider trading it? I can offer G5 cloning, EVing and Levelling (legit or rare candies), furthermore I could always PM you some of my redis pokes I have knocking around as payment. =)
