    I would try to recreate the fight as much as you can and lose, then beat her, since you're not supposed to save before gym fights anyway.

    I was right out of the forest, I just decided to count it as a loss.

  • Sorry I haven't updated the list like I said I would. I'm busy trying to juggle this challenge along with playing White 2 AND Black 2, and then let's not forget school. It's band season! So much band. Truth be told, I'll probably try to win most of my season and just stop lol. I just don't have the time. But I'm pushing through! I got another badge today. BARELY THOUGH. I almost lost. I had used my max of 3 items and my last party member was almost gone, but I won. Hopefully from here on out, gym battles will be easier haha.

    So here is my first GOOD update, where I will explain my name choices for things finally! I am naming my Pokemon carefully, usually in sync with why I picked them for their respective role in my team. Anyway...

    Spr_BW_Linebacker.png

    Coach: Bear (Paul "Bear" Bryant, one of THE best AL coach! Wish there was a coach NPC)
    Game: White (Alabama's colors are crimson and white)
    Standings: 2-0

    235.gif

    Bama! / Smeargle (m) lv. 20 (couldn't think of a name! might rename later)
    Flame Charge, Psywave

    231.gif

    Big Al / Phanpy (m) lv. 21 (named after Alabama's mascot)
    Take Down, Rollout, Tackle, Defense Curl

    532.gif

    Ha-Ha C-D / Timburr (m) lv. 22 (named after Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix)
    Low Kick, Bide, Leer, Rock Throw

    548.gif

    Ballerina / Petilil (f) lv. 14 (named after Marching Ballerinas which is my uni's danceline)
    Leech Seed, Stun Spore, Mega Drain, Growth

    So far, this team is ROUGH. I was afraid I'd lose to Lenora. I got lucky. She used Leer right when I chose to use Low Kick, and Timburr is slower than Watchog so...yeah. Very lucky, especially since she had already used Leer the turn before (which I had to use an Awakening during-- my last item for that battle). From this point on though, I think the gyms will get easier. Smeargle is about to get a new Sketch, Phanpy will evolve as well as Timburr, and I just added Petilil to the team SO THERE'S NO WAY TO FAIL! I'll add my Swablu after I beat Burgh, and then Victini will probably come in as soon as the rest of my team hits 50, which is normally around gym 8. ...Hopefully I'll get that far. XD I'll try to find some time to update the list. -yawns- Lists r lame :(

  • Sorry for the delay! I've been distracted by White 2~

    Anywho.

    MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
    (Riley's notes on her epic journey of awesomeness. So epic and awesome, you can't even imagine.)
    1. Went to talk to Elm after Ethan's Marill used me as a hiding place. Saw someone looking into the lab window. When I tried to talk to him, he shoved me. Jerk.
    2.Got Totodile, named him Eric, and went off to talk to Mr. Pokemon. (Weird name. Weirder dude.)
    2. Got an egg from Mr. Pokemon. (Got to go give this to Elm. Now. Before I scramble it and eat it.)
    3. Ran into the red-haired jerk from earlier, kicked his butt, and saw his trainer card. Name's Adrian. He'd be cute if he weren't so stupid and mean.
    4. I guess Adrian stole that Chikorita from Elm. So that's what he was doing! Jerk. I gave his name to the police and I will hunt him down and kick his butt again. And again. And again and again and again. The jerk.
    5. Calm down, Riley.
    6. So. Gave the egg to Elm. Ethan showed off - I know how pokeballs work, silly - and then gave me presents~
    7. Used Ethan's presents to catch a sweet little Sentret. Named him Henry, then banished Eric to the PC for biting strange people's ankles. I told him not to since you never know where they've been.
    8. Me and Henry went off to Violet City.
    9. I challenged the Sprout Tower. It was full of old dudes with Bellsprout. Naturally, I kicked their butts.
    10. Ran into Adrian at the top of the tower, but he got away before I could punch him in the nose. Note to self: don't let him get away next time.
    11. Henry evolved! He's so adorable~
    12. Challenged Falkner. Won!
    13. Went through a cave, tripped over at least five Geodude, and got challenged by random trainers. My knees hurt...
    14. Got to Azalea Town. Some weird dude calling himself a Team Rocket Grunt was standing in front of Slowpoke Well.
    15. Accidentally went into Ilex Forest in the dark. I got... lost. Oops. But I caught an Oddish and named her Nova, so it's okay.
    16. Got unlost and slept at the Pokemon Center.
    17. Visited Kurt in the morning. Stupid old man went to go stop Team Rocket from doing whatever they were doing to the Slowpoke and hurt himself, so I had to go in there after him.
    18. Found out what the Rockets are doing. They're CUTTING SLOWPOKE TAILS OFF. AND SELLING THEM. I hate them more than Adrian. And that's saying something.
    19. Rescued a Slowpoke from the evil organization and named him Dopey since he's... well. Slow. And silly.
    20. Battled a guy named Proton (...that's... you know what? Not even going there.) and kicked Team Rocket out of the well and Azalea Town.

  • Pictureless update. I just beat Burgh after spending a long time leveling up Timburr and Phanpy to evolve them. I barely beat Burgh. I used one item and only had Donphan left at the end. So I'm 3-0...another close call. I suck haha. I just added Swablu to my team so hopefully things will get better from here on out. I'll evolve Gurrdurr soon as well as Petilil and Swablu adds more to my team, though it'll be a long time before she evolves. So yeah. See ya after gym 4.

  • Update #2 on Platinum.
    • Helped Dawn get her Pokedex back, then got the Fly HM for Blitz.
    • Made my way to Pastoria City, then trained some more past it.
    • Took on the gym, and Wake went down easily to Montero and Sea Gal. Season Record: 4-1.
    • Soon afterwards, E.C.S. evolved into Blaziken!
    • Went up north for Cynthia's quest after defeating the Grunt bomber.
    • Grabed the King's Rock in Celestic Town and used it to evolve Sound Wave into Politoed!
    • Beat Cyrus and got the Surf HM for Sound Wave, and we trained a bit on the water routes.
    • Went to Canalave City, beat Joey again, then faced the gym.
    • Byron was swept easily by Sound Wave! Season Record: 5-1.
    • Got Strength but skipped Iron Island for now, and we took care of Saturn and Mars at the lakes.
    • Climbed to the snowy trails and caught our final team member, the Sponsor, Tanzania the Sneasel!
    • Tanzania is one of the partners of the Sounders, and Weavile is an exotic-looking Pokemon.
    • Trained Tanzania up back in Iron Island and then the snowy mountain route to Snowpoint City.
    • Took on Candice, who was taken out easily by E.C.S. Season Record: 6-1.
    • Visited Acuity Lake, then went to solve the Team Galactic problem.
    • First, though, I used the Shiny Stone from Iron Island to evolve Sea Gal into Roserade!
    • Defeated Cyrus in the TG Headquarters, and also found a Razor Claw in his office.
    • After another level, Tanzania evolved into Weavile!
    • Climbed Mt. Coronet and beat Mars and Jupiter with Joey's help (not that I needed it, of course!).
    • Giratina appeared, I jumped into the Distortion World in pursuit, and that's where I am saved.

  • Final Update (#3) on Platinum.
    • To make a long story short, I won the challenge with an 11-2 record.
    • My only losses were to Fantina (okay, that's fine) and VOLKNER!!! (WHAAAA?!?!?)
    • Still can't believe I lost to him, I accidentally fought him with a weakened team (forgot to heal beforehand) and he won with a crit Thunder Fang on Montero.
    • Anyway, I grinded like crazy and got my team up to L58-59 for the Elite Four.
    • Aaron was no trouble, Tanzania and Sound Wave beat him.
    • Bertha was swept easily with Sea Gal's Petal Dance (Persim Berry FTW).
    • Flint was a bit harder, since Magmortar was tough, but Sound Wave, Montero, Tanzania, and Blitz combined to win.
    • Lucian was easy thanks to Tanzania sweeping with Swords Dance + Night Slash.
    • Finally it was down to the champion, Cynthia. I made a video but it got corrupted :(, so a play-by-play will have to suffice:
