That orange smily face means that your Chimchar has caught and recovered from Pokerus, so it won't be able to catch it again. It's a little weird as far as symbols go though, I have to admit.
And regarding the GTS, chances are that those people are idiots. But there is the "GTS Idiot" (as I refer to it) that will actually trade regular pokemon for legendaries. I've managed to get a Mew for a Heracross before... lol xD

Is it possible for me to make money by selling my artwork or take requests, or is that impossible because you assume I failed at everything, even art?

I'm sure you could sell your art, it's pretty good. And when you think about it, anything can be classed as art these days. Some "artist" has sold a blank canvas as art. Now how in the world would you go around trying to sell THAT to people?!

It's fairly hard, but not impossible.

Hmm, I'll have to try this when I get on Brawl next. I'm also assuming that all items are off, besides the Smash Ball? Or is that off too? Or is everything on? OR is it up to the player?
I'm so confused...

More than likely, you'll get killed trying to recover damage if you get carried away with it.
It's probably a good thing that items are off as well, since two reflectors can power up a hothead so it will kill at zero percent...and break through reflectors.

Make sure it's an actual Pokeball, as opposed to any other type of ball, since that's happened to me as well. I think it worked when I had an actual Pokeball in my bag, but didn't when I had nothing but Ultraballs...

The only ones I'd class as "sub mains" would be Ice Climbers, Snake and Pokemon Trainer... though I rarely play them.

Black Sludge? Those are one of the rarest items in existence I think, just due to the rarity of Croagunks in the Safari Zone, and of course each of those has only a 1/20 chance of holding it. Even Lucky Eggs are comparatively plentiful, thanks to the Pokeradar.

I know, it's seriously strange. You'd think they could easily have just swapped the character models with Mario, and have Mario being rescued, a la Luigi's Mansion. But rescuing Luigi AS Luigi smacks of laziness.

I only started doing those in Friend List Brawls (yeah, I know, sorta pathetic...), but I could do pretty well. You just gotta watch your back, since people will be coming from all directions.

I have to say that the CPUs in Brawl are much more annoying than they were in Melee, since they ALWAYS will gang up on you in Brawls. It's bloody annoying, especially if you're a character like Olimar, where you need to get out of the fight to repluck Pikmin, but of course th CPUs are constantly following you, and throwing you around between them. Seriously, the only way I win most of the time, is thanks to Smash Balls, since I'm nearly always the first to die, due to their cheap tactics.

My only other piece of advice would be to try and think of something that could block an Alakazam...since that, or another Fast Psychic type will absolutely rape your team.
Also, beware of Metagross, since the same concept will apply.

And I still have to get Squirtle and Ivysaur from Classic mode I think.

That's right, you have the Japanese version don't you?
Well, I would assume that there's a FAQ out there somewhere telling what the requirements are for all the challenges. I can tell you that the top left one is "Beat Boss Battles on Intense." I took a shortcut on that one, and used a Golden Hammer. God Bless PAL sometimes!
And as for the Squirtle and Ivysaur trophies, once you do those you'll get something else from one of the challenges, since one is to get all the character trophies.

I think those two are the very worst though. And the story goes a bit weird once you rescue Luigi from the Haunted mansion.

Like once, in an effort to actually hit the things instead of spamming A, I got over 100 trophies, but none of them were new, and I hit pretty much every sticker-giving formation, except for a couple. And then sometimes, it gives me a couple new ones in a row at the start of that round. It's really random for me...

I know what you mean. I think I've got only 3 more trophies to go. One's behind the "Get 100 hours in Brawls" window, and the other two are random trophies I think. I'm pretty sure I've gotten all the trophies from the SSE, so now I'm just getting frustrated with the Coin Launcher.

I have to say, that everything here is pretty solid.
The only improvement I could suggest is that instead of Dark Pulse on your Gengar, replace it with Hypnosis, or Destiny Bond etc, since Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse have exactly the same type coverage, barring the normal type immunity.

BRAWL

I have to say that as far as Brawl goes, I don't class any of them as clones, since all characters have completely different fighting styles, whereas in Melee, certain characters could be played in very similar fashions, so they were true ''clones''

MELEE
Mario or Dr.Mario?

Mario

Marth or Roy?

Marth

Pikachu or Pichu?

Pikachu

Link or Young Link?

Link

BOTH
Lucario or Mewtwo?

Lucario

Mario, Luigi, or Dr. Mario?

Again, Luigi isn't a clone. As for the Mario debate, see above.

Link, Toon Link, or Young Link? (Toon Link)

And Toon Link is hardly a clone of Link, since they have extremely different fighting styles. Either way, Toon Link PWNZ

Wow. I don't think I ever gave a full intro like that, and I doubt I ever will.
Anyway, we're pretty similar in the respect that our first actual game was in the metal generation, after enviously seeing it in R/B/Y form.

Also, on a different note... I officially hate Shuckles...especially Power Tricking Shuckles, when your Physical Sweeper is already dead...

Anyway, scratch my last comment, the hardest one is the Purple coins on the Dreadnaught Galaxy. Since you have to jump around collecting coins and riding platforms side on the entire time, Luigi's lack of traction will most likely send you to an early grave a fair few times.

I suppose you could go do Classic on Intense, 1 stock, and keep SDing and continuing. Since it costs 100 coins to continue on Intense.
But why do you want to lose coins anyway?

Somewhat surprisingly, Prince of Persia, the two Thrones.
I beat it, and then there's nothing left to do. I paid $100 for it, and expected something with a little more longevity.

Jiggy is up there as one of my most hated to fight against characters on SSBB. After getting wailed on by lv 7Jiggys three times in a Row in Brawls, I'm feeling a little annoyed right now.
Especially since after coming 2nd to one, I go for another Brawl (the CPUs are all level 7, and on Random characters), I see that I'm fighting 2 Jigglypuffs and a Kirby.

Rolling away or behind them usually works, as long as you're fast enough. The long-range grabs like Link and Samus might give you problems though, depending on how quick you do it.
