Update

Got the egg from elms assistant. Threw it in my pc and continued my adventure. Made it to and through rock tunnel and found kurt. Found him on the floor, then saved all of the slowpokes. After that, went to bugsy's gym and challenged.. him? I died the first time by her..? furry cytter, but the second time i blinded the scyther with smoke screen them pummeled it with bubble.

Ran into my rival and we fought. I was constantly dying, due to the fact that i only had bubble to damage it and he had razor leaf. I got seahorse up to level 24 and challenged him again, blinded it with smokescreen, and then used my new water gun to kill it. After catching the farfetch'd and running through ilex forest, i made it to goldenrod. I checked the store for good TM's, but all they have are the elemental punches.. So i went into the gym and challenged whitney. She was extremely easy this time. Probably because seahorse is level 26 and a female.

I grabbed the squirt bottle and killed the sudowudo. I went to ecreteak(spelling?) city and stepped into the burned tower. My rival destroyed me a few times, so i leveled my horsea up to a seadra, which i had to do at level 33, since i got her up to level 32 against his gastly. Evolving her helped a lot. He died fairly easy to seahorse that time. Picked up a mareep for flash and went into mt. mortar, also in hope to find the dragon scale. No luck. I went to morty's gym and challenged him. I took all of his pokemon out within 2 shots. I think a level 37 seadra might be a little over leveled..

I fought the kimono girls and got surf. I taught it to seahorse and made my way to olivine. I went all the way up the light house and found jasmine and ampharos. She asks me to get the medicine. I exit the light house and go to the cafe. I find a sailor and he gives me strength. I teach it to machop and surf to cianwood. I go to the pharmacy and grab the medicine. I then go in the gym and challenge chuck. He was pretty easy for my level. I had some trouble against his poliwrath, because surf wasn't as effective as twister.

I got fly from chucks wife and teach it to SHINY!!!!. I went through the light house and give them the medicine. I then go to the gym and fight jasmine. She died really fast, thanks to surf.

I made my way to mahogany town and went to the lake of rage. I killed the gyarados and found lance. I went to the rocket base thingy and turned off the thing that makes them attack me. I found the 2 passwords, kill the executive and got the final password. Kill the chick, and then killed the electrodes. I got whirlpool from lance(useless..) and went to mahoganys gym. I killed pryce pretty easily with twister on his seel and dewgongs and surf on his piloswine.

Went to goldenrod, saved the radio tower, and flew back to mahogany. I went through ice path, picking up waterfall on my way down. I challenged claire, and had some trouble, oddly. I killed all of her dragonairs easily, but i forgot that kingdra was weak against dragon type moves, so i tried using surf until it was almost dead. On my way to get the dragon thingy from the dragons den or whatever, i found my other member of my team, Hydra! Found the dragon fang, and left for mt mortar!

After finding the dragon scale at mt. mortar, i gave it to sea horse and traded. Now, i have a kingdra! I got the EXP. Share from mr. pokemon, and made my way to victory road. I got Hydra up to level 36, then i got tired of grinding and challenged the elite 4. Seahorse is level 60, so i shouldn't have any problems.

Will:

Will was extremely easy. I only had a small amount of trouble because his exeggutor used leech seed and his slowbro was right after it, so i tried to use twister against it most of the time, but it kept using amnesia. So i finally got fed up and used surf.

Koga:

Koga died quick. I just used surf once on every one of his pokemon, basically.

Bruno:

Bruno was harder than koga. Only because his hitmontop used dig and he used a max potion on his machamp. other than that he got OHKO'd.

Karren:

Karren died pretty fast. I had to heal against her vileplume since my health was already low and being confused didn't really help with that factor.

Champion Lance:

Lance was pretty easy. I was almost in trouble, because i lost all the pp to twister. Good thing i had an ether.


The first part of the johto journey is done..

Seahorse/Kingdra

I've started a Poison UMC run, already completed Emerald, Platinum and original silver. I have to say, though, it gets harder as the generations progress. Platinum was difficult but I think red will be ridiculously easy. Oh well, on we go!

I have paused my Diamond bug playthrough for now, just before Pastoria gym, but will continue as soon as I finish my normal Ruby playthrough. After Diamond I will be doing poison on Sapphire, followed by ground on Crystal. After that I will start a water playthrough of Gold and a rock playthrough of Fire Red. After finishing that I'll start one in Isshu. A lot planned ;D

According to the first post, even waiting for it to learn Mud-slap is against the rules.

You can use Pokemon not of your type if and only if they will evolve into a Pokemon of your type at some point, though you should evolve them at the first chance you get.

Well, if you use an emulator then technically you have access to all the games lol. Also, usually people make updates are made throughout the game, not just once at the end (although I'm not sure if you meant gym instead of game). I typically like to update once every two gyms or so, depending how far I get in a day. Have fun! :D.

Now, time for my update. It's pretty short, as I didn't get as far as I wanted, but enough happened to warrant one.

So I went and challenged the Vermilion gym, hoping that Charmeleon would be able beat everbody. Well, that didn't quite happen. The trainers were easy, but Lt. Surge is a lot more difficult in the remake here. I had to fight him twice. Voltorb and Pikachu went down easily both times, but the first time, Raichu used a DT and Charmeleon missed with Dig, then Raichu paralyzed him with Thunder Wave and Charmeleon proceeded to be paralyzed FOUR TIMES IN A ROW! Raichu then spammed DT while Charmeleon was paralyzed and it was over as Raichu was untouchable. The second time around Charmeleon was able to hit with Dig after one DT and got Raichu into the red. Charmeleon ended up fainting, but Freed with his CompoundEyes (raises accuracy 30%) was able to come in, survive a Shock Wave, and Confusion for the revenge kill and the win. The Thunder Badge was mine, as well as Shock Wave! \O/\O/\O/

Now it was time to take out Magikarp from the Day-Care, where he had grown 6 levels to L11, and start my way to Rock Tunnel. I caught a Meowth to replace Ch'Ding as my HM slave because Meowth can learn Flash and Cut. Went through Diglett's Cave, got Flash, and fought the remaining trainers on Route 11 on the other side of Diglett's Cave, where Venom evolved into Golbat and learned Wing Attack for a seriously needed stat and power boost. Went up to Route 10 and battled all the trainers, saved outside Rock Tunnel. Will brave the dark tomorrow.
