  • Time for update number. 1!

    I started my adventure in PKMN Yellow.
    Named myself Reich
    Tried to go to play in the tall grass, but then some annoying professor called Oak stepped in my way and caught a Pikachu.
    After that I went to the prof.s house and tried to pick an Eevee from his table.
    But before I could act, Oak's Grandson Tackled me on to the wall and stole the Eevee.
    Oak then gave me the Pikachu he caught earlier. I named it Pika.
    Then just as I was about to leave, my Rival asked me for a PKMN battle. I thought: Why not?
    And so the battle started. My Pikachu mopped the floor with the Eevee and after the battle, I headed to Viridian!
    Just as I arrived in viridian, some weird clerk from the POKéMART tossed me a parcel and told me to deliver it to Prof. Oak.
    I delivered the parcel and Oak gave me a Pokédex in return. Then finally off I was!
    I cathced a wonderfull Pidgey, who I named Wing. I trained wing to level 6 and caught a Spearow called Birdy. Then I went to the forest
    But before I could enter, some weird old man tried to make me watch him as he tried to catch a Pokémon. He only had one ball and of course, he failed.
    Viridian forest was big, boring and easy (With Birdy's Peck).
    When I finally reached Pewter City, I started to look for thw gym right away!
    The gym trainer was pretty difficult and when I made it to Brock my PKMN were were 11 and 9.
    Wing lost to his Geodude after some fierce Sand throwing action! But with sand in Geodudes eyes, It was really easy for Birdy to finish it. Onix was really easy after couple of leers and growls. I was really amazed to beat Brock with a couple of weak birds o_O.

    Team now:

    :t021: Birdy Lvl 12
    Moves:
    Peck
    Growl
    Leer

    :t016: Wing Lvl 11
    Moves:
    Gust
    Sand Attack

  • Got a question because I'm a moron and forgot to switch Lapras with a Ponyta in the PC, in the last rival fight after the E4 I put Lapras out and was just reviving others, it got killed in one hit (the ponyta is low enough that it also would've got OHKOED) so does that instantly disqualify that entire segment or not? Otherwise I'm done with the 1st Gen :S.

  • Completed Fire red.
    I did it a while ago but went on Holdiday since and this is one of the few times I'llbe online.
    I'll post my team and reviews.
    Oh, and I'll start Gold when I get back.
    Team;

    Maniac/Graveler Lv.58
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    -Magnitude
    -Rollout
    -Rock Slide
    -Mega punch.

    Review:Not too great, Rollout was powerful but pretty much any water or grass pokemon would destroy him.

    Marlo/Marowak Lv.55
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    -Bone club.
    -Fire Blast.
    -Blizzard
    -False Swipe.

    Review: Essential, I doubt I would of beaten the E4 without him, I guarentee that with some training he could take the E4 on his own.

    Mannifesto/Nidoking Lv.61
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    -Flamethrower.
    -Shock Wave.
    -Water Pulse.
    -Double Kick

    Review: Best pokemon on team, probably cause he stayed alive most so got the most Exp. but both him and queen and great for variety.

    Deception/Nidoqueen Lv.49
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    -Ice Beam.
    -Surf.
    -Brick Break.
    -Aerial Ace.

    Review: Potential to be as good as Nidoking but slacked on the Levels when I didn't use him on gyms much.

    Squadz/Dugtrio Lv.45
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    -Sludge ball.
    -Slash.
    -Sunny Day.
    -Rock Smash.

    Review: Worst Pokemon on team, the only reason he didn't slack so much was because I used Sunny Day then switched to Kangaskhan and showered Solar Beams.

    Sleuf/Kangaskhan Lv.52
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    -Earthquake
    -Solar beam.
    -Thunder.
    -Shadow Ball.

    Review:A massive powerhouse to my team, not as strong as Nido's because they have the advantage with poison point which is awesome, but he was still brilliant and took out Pokemon with 10 levels on him with one hit.
     

    Frozen King Prawns

    Forget Rollout. NOW! Grrr.

    -Destroyed the Route to Bill's house

    I've just beaten Giovanni at Silph.... and I'm going to drop out. I know, it's awful, I've done it before as well. Thing is, I just can't stand playing the first generation games anymore, they just seem so.... what's the word..... primitive. Magnemite isn't steel-type, bug attacks are super-effective against poison, you can only hold about 3 items in your pack. I don't know how we managed our movesets before the physical/special split! No genders, abilities, held items.... people cry out for the good old days of the past, but to be honest the gameplay is a lot better nowadays.

    Anyway, rant over, I'm dropping out. I did complete a Water monotype on Blue a while back, am I allowed to pick that up again some day soon?

    EDIT: Oh, am I allowed to use FR/LG for the first gen? Because if so, I'll use that. Not poison again though, it's a truly awful type.

    Just beat Ruby, but the save file corrupted after beating the E4, so...

    I took a corrupt video of the Champ fight >.< Let's just say that after grinding my Blaziken to 63ish, and HAriyama to 53ish, Hariyama managed to get to Cradily (His last Pokemon), with not even an HM Slave left, so I revived Blaziken in case, and just destroyed Cradily with an EQ and a Seismic Toss.

    Final Team:
    Mook/Blaziken Lvl 63
    Blaze Kick
    Sky Uppercut
    Mirror Move (Very, VERY, useful against Drake or whatever)
    Slash

    Hariyama lvl 54
    Seismic Toss
    Vital Throw
    Fake Out
    EQ

    HM Slaves were a Tailow for Fly, Wailmer for Dive/Waterfall/Strength, Zigzagoon for Surf, Cut, Rock Smash.

    And I already started a bit of the 4th gen on my Pearl.

    Chose Chimchar.
    Beat a few trainers, got Chimchar to 14, and thus got Monferno. Still haven't done the first gym though.

    I'm currently grinding to beat the elite four, I tried and got to Steven but his Metagross can OHKO most of my team, and paralyzing him never seems to help.

    I recorded a bunch of battls, I wont re-record the E4 though:

  • GAH. Hopelessly stuck on E4 in Silver. Wish the rock type spread didnt include just sudowoodo and corsola. (i am planning to use only the pokemon from the respective generation.) but i just dont understand WHY slugma can only be found on the kanto cycling road!
    Sorry guys. Im not doing this as much as my other stuff, should be slow.
    once again, i implore everybody, READ THE RULES. so you dont get disqualified after your hard work. and when is Alakazam going to come back, i want to see my name up there.
    btw my sudowoodo is lv 54 and corsola is lv 51

    EDIT: I BEAT THE E4. I got lucky and used about 10 Hyper potions and 15 revives. O_o ohwell.
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    Rock Slide
    Ice Punch
    Faint Attack
    Low Kick
    The main fighter. Has a lot of diversity, and was able to OHKO most pokemon.

    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    Swagger
    Spike Cannon
    Bubblebeam
    Ancientpower
    One of the worst movesets maybe, but he contributed a LOT with swagger. Nearly every pokemon was swaggered in fact.

    Now to defeat Red. NOTE: its required to defeat red to beat GSC. For those of you that haven't, i suggest you do.

    I have achieved victory over Steven :). My second battles against the Elite Four were much easier. All though it seems like every pokemon there had Earthquake to bug me :P.

    As proof of my Electric only victory, I took this screenshot: Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    I've also made a final review of my team:

    Raichu "Bolt" level 53
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    Thunderbolt
    Brick Break
    Thunder Wave
    Double Team

    Opinion: Brick Break made him a powerhouse, he took out Sidney with almost no help, swept through Phoebes Sableye and Banettes, and destroyed Glacia. Tied with Lanturn for the MVP.

    Lanturn 'Flash" level 53
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    Thunderbolt
    Ice Beam
    Surf
    Confuse Ray

    Opinion: My other main sweeper, He was my mian battler against Steven, beating Aggron, Cradily and Claydol. Confuse Ray came in handy, when combined with Thunder Wave, hard battles get easier. Tied with Raichu for MVP


    Magneton "Match" level 51
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    Thunder Wave
    Supersonic
    Spark
    Tri Attack

    Opinion: Closest thing I have to a tank, with confusion and paralysis and his disposal he could slowly take Pokemon out. The 4X ground weakness lowered his value tremensly though. He was my last fighter against Steven, finishing Armaldo off with Spark.

    Manectric 'Harmacy" level 50
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    Spark
    Bite
    Thunder Wave
    HP Poison

    Opinion: Out of my 4 main Pokemon, he was the least valuble, The only thing he could do that others couldnt was hit ghosts super effectively. He got flinch hax against Phoebes Earthquaking Dusclops which was a huge help in winning.


    Minun "Crossroad" level 40
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    Encore
    Double Team
    Baton Pass
    Spark

    Opinion: Useless, to fragile to do baton pass any double teams, to weak to sweep. I only used him as a sacrifice while reviving Pokemon.

    Electrode "Iresar" level 40
    Ultimate Monotype Challenge

    Selfdestruct
    Spark
    Rollout
    Flash

    Opinion: The only thing he waas good for was killing himself. His speed was useless because he didnt have the attack power to beat anything. 3 generatins with him is enough :P. btw for anyone who doesnt get the nickname, read it backwards :).

    Time for my journey in Sinnoh to begin. I'll most likely start updating tomorrow.
