Crystal Update #3

Kanto Badges Obtained:

As I traveled to the E4, my Eevee finally evolved into an Umbreon. (Too bad that I messed up and forgot to teach it a dark type attack. Now the only thing that it can really do is take hits...) Once there, I easily defeated my rival, bought items, and finally defeated the E4 with some tough fights. Gengar was the star of this show, even if he was fairly low leveled compared to Umbreon at this time. The credits rolled, and I made my way to Kanto. Finding some difficulty with Lt. Surge at the time, I beat Sabrina first (primarily using Umbreon), then Erika (with my low leveled Jynx), Misty (with 'Recoil' the Magneton), and finally Lt. Surge with my Umbreon for the most part. I still have more badges to get, but I thought that this would be a good spot to update.

I LOVE IT! Well, except for Drifblim. I hate having to wait until fridays for the stupid Drifloon to show up. And I usually miss the thing altogether ._. I'm always too late x.x other than that... I always wanted to try out Glaceon and never had the chance to so thanks xD

If you would like, you can replace Driftblm with Banette. I understand the difficulty of getting Drifloon due to him only being there on Friday's.

the only issue with Banette is that by the time I get it, I would have completed the challenge @w@ Banette first shows up on route 225. So that leaves me with gastly or with taking the time to get drifloon @w@
Imma just grab Drifloon else we'd end up stuck discussing this forever xD

EDIT: just realised I'm 35 minutes away from friday o.O no need to wait for drifloon *o*I can catch him right after I beat these guys at the valley

Updates:

Spoiler:

♥ Started with a lot of Soft-Resetting because I wanted a Female starter. Lucky me she also turned out to have decent IVs and a good nature.
♥ Rushed through the whole tutorial thingy.
♥ Delivered the Parcel, got a map
♥ Obtained the Pokétch and an Old Rod
♥ Rushed to the Ravaged Path and tried catching a Zubat. Accidently fainted a few before I encountered Dokugai who was also female and has a decent Nature and surprisingly decent IVs as well.
♥ Placed Dokugai in front of my party and went on a training/battling spree followed by a whole lot of running around with Fast Forward Toggle On in order to increase friendship.
♥ Reached Oreburgh Gate. Caught a Psyduck for HM using purposes. Went into Oreburgh, looked for Roark in the Mines then evolved Asatsuyu by battling geodudes like crazy.
♥ Took advantage of the Gym battle to boost Dokugai's friendship some more. Taught Rock Smash to a Bidoof I had caught earlier and grabbed Flash from the Gate basement.
♥ Went back at the Ravaged Path, smashed some rocks, battled some trainers and finally reached Floaroma Town.
♥ Healed up my Awesome Duo, picked up some Berries then went at the Valley of Windworks where I battled this puny Galactic Grunt that proceeded to lock himself in after losing, not forgetting to tell me who had the key >.>
♥ Went over at the guy with the Honey and smashed some more grunts. And go figure, they dropped the key.
♥Back at the Valley, I unlocked the door and the Grunt that had locked it before runs away like the scaredy cat he is >.>
♥ I'm taking advantage of more battles to increase Dokugai's friendship then proceed to beating the commander whatever she way and her ugly fat cat, thus saving the scientist.
♥ I then find out that Drifloon comes around once a week, but they didn't know when. Being a know-it-all, I knew it would come on Friday. And go figure, I was half an hour away from Friday. So I spent that time smacking Pachirisu and Buizel and Shellos with Dokugai for some more friendship and level increase.
♥ Finally, Drifloon shows up. I save and proceed to battle it. But it's male and I don't wanna ruin my so far perfect female-only team. So I proceed to soft-resetting. Again and again and again... and again... and again until finally run into a female Drifloon. I capture her and name her Yuukai. And I'm pleasantly surprised that it also has a not half bad nature and quite alright Ivs apparently. So far so good.
♥ Using Yuukai, I clear my way towards Eterna Forest, taking ocasional trips back to the Poké Center (for the extra steps thus extra happiness)
♥ I team up with the pretty lady with a Chansey and we proceed to battling things, taking advantage of mobile Poké Center.
♥ Grabbed a Cascoon and evolved it into Dustox for Flash and Defog purposes later on then I kept abusing the mobile Poké Center until my Dokugai evolved into Golbat and then, later on into Crobat.
♥ Finally reached Eterna City.
♥ Seems like the Gym Leader was waiting for me. Since my sweet little Asatsuyu was at a disadvantage, I cleared the Gym with Yuukai's Gust and Dokugai's Wing Attack, thus obtaining my second badge.
♥ After the battle, Chihou, the hyperactive friend/rival/neighbour bumps into me once again and forces me to see some old statue where I grab a Draco Plate >.> <.<
♥ Obtained Cut HM from Cynthia. Taught Cut to my trusty Bidoof then proceeded to beating up Galactic Grunts all the way up to the Bike Shop owner whose Pokémon were held captive/
♥ Healed up at the Poké Center then saved.

Yes, It's fine. I thought water stone was available before Red though?

I can only get one through Bill's Grandfather. (Which I then would have to go in order bringing all of the guys or since I'm playing Crystal, get lucky and have this fisherman call me for a battle, which is all chance.) I suppose I could go catch all of those Pokemon, or trade him into Blue if you want me to to evolve him, though.

Edit: Fisherman Tully finally called me, so I have Poliwrath now. I should finish the challenge by tonight.

Pokemon Crystal Update #4 (Final Update)

Badges Obtained: 16 + Red Defeated
Total Time Played: 40:55
Most Useful Pokemon: Gengar
Most Useful Staller: Umbreon

Victory! This challenge was fun, and it was quite difficult in the end, with the final battle with Red taking a total of 55 minutes. Sadly, in that fight, evolving Poliwhirl into Poliwrath made it slightly less useful due to its newfound weakness against flying types... Ouch. Snorelax took the longest to defeat, only being brought down by Recoil's supersonic working with Gengar's curse. All of Red's Pokemon were brought down by slowly chipping away at their HP and using Flash while repeatedly healing myself up. At any rate...

How about Sudowoodo, Meganium, Donphan, Venomoth and Pidgeot, and for the fighting type get Tyrogue and use whatever Hitmon it evolves into?

Sorry for the two day delay, I haven't even had internet for 3 days aha.

Anyway an update on my challenge from like a week ago:

-I started with Treeko
-I got to Rustburo City
-I caught a Nincada
-I went back and beat every trainer with Nincada
-After a 30 minute battle I managed to beat Roxanne with just Nincada(Uggghh that took forever)
-I caught a Mawile
-I procrastinated for a week
-I delivered the letter to Steven
-I caught a Magikarp
-I am now training in the route north of Slateport to evolve Nincada because I doubt I'll be able to beat Brawly unless he can't hurt me.
