Sign me up for SoulSilver with Shuppet/Banette. I know I didn't complete my Absol run in FireRed and I probably won't either, since ROMs aren't being very nice to me right now. Anyway, I'm going to hack in a Shuppet at the first opportunity I get and I'll start tonight but probably update tomorrow at the latest.

.

Anyway this part will seem mean but The : D, IMO your run shouldn't be counted as you have broken the rule of no cheating, The shiny cheat used I don't really consider rulebreaking(although it is annoying) but the rare candy cheats and lvl mod cheats(zigzagoon) really annoy me. Your excuse for the rare candy cheat on beldum is BS tbh, both me and Wingman where able to train beldum to a high enough level to be able to beat the first rock gym in all but Johto region(as falkner is the first gym leader).

Personally if I was the thread owner I would tell you to do this run agian without cheats but I'm not the thread owner so it's up to him(if he returns)

I'm not gone yet. You can't be rid of me that easily. ;P And the reason it hasn't been updated is because Myrrhman hasn't been very active as of late. I'd say give it time; he'll remember us sometime. Also, congratulations on completing the second Ultimate Solo Challenge. I never got the chance before. Heck, I didn't even know you finished until now. Good job!

Also, I agree with you about The : D. The both of us ran through with no cheats FOUR TIMES with a Beldum. Honestly, I was outraged when I saw the post stating that he cheated his way to level 15. I even think that it was stated in the first post that the use of cheats is illegal past hacking in the Pokémon that you want to use. It should be only fair that The : D be forced to do redo the challenge with no cheats or take down his posts.

But anyways. Onto the important stuff.

Day 33

Spoiler:

God dammit. I am seriously getting tired of these constant rules and regulations of each region and all the yadda yadda that we've been forced to sit through. I know it's to keep everything fair and all, but it gets annoying. Especially since I've already been through this all once before.

But at this point it's all just useless ranting.

If you haven't guessed, I'm stuck back as a Nidoran♂. Again. Which I've strangely grown to hate. I lived most of my life as a Nidoran♂, and I was content. But as soon as I evolved and got used to being a Nidoking, I realize how much being a Nidoran♂ sucks. I'm hoping I won't have to do this again. In fact, if I go through all this one more time, I'm gonna go nuts.

Enough of my pointless rant.

The ship left this morning bright and early, and as soon as we shoved off I couldn't even stand. Ships are no way for a Nidoking to travel. I'd almost rather be swimming. And having nothing to look at other than the endless ocean did not assist in making me feel any better. I ended up lying face down next to Caroline and Wingman, who were somehow entirely unaffected.

A few times I felt my stomach rushing up to greet my mouth, only returning to its rightful place when my tongue forced it back. But it was persistent. Finally my tongue got tired of holding it back. I remember rushing to the edge of the boat as my tongue threw my stomach and its contents overboard. After that, I just fell on my back in a daze. I don't think I moved again until we hit ground in Hoenn.

And to make things worse, we get pulled aside right as we step off the ship. Now I'm back to square one and it sucks. But somehow Wingman was all smiles. I still do not understand what makes him able to look past all this crap. Maybe he's just naive. I envy him for that. Though I'm pretty sure I've already said that before.

The rest of the day was full of the two Ts; training and traveling. But we made some serious ground. We arrived in a town called Petalburg or something, and there was a Gym, but it was closed. The Gym was in the process of changing leaders, and the new one hadn't moved in yet. So we headed north towards Rustboro City.

Getting there was fairly easy; the only obstacle in our way was the Petalburg Woods, and they were in no way a challenge to navigate. I don't remember doing much in there other than saving this one guy from a dude who kept talking about "Team Magma" or whatever. Other than that hiccup, we passed through Petalburg Woods with no trouble.

Rustboro City was not far away, and the first thing Wingman wanted to do was hit the Gym. Which was, unfortunately, of the Rock type profession. I don't remember much of what happened in there, other than us winning. I was knocked over the head by a large rock, according to Caroline, and hit with a bit of memory loss. That's why this entry is a little bare. I apologize, but it's not really my fault, it's that stupid Nosepass's fault. Critical hit Rock Tomb my ass.

After the hazy success at the Gym, we set up at the PokéCenter for the night. Personally, I prefer camping out, but I needed to stay there a little to make sure that the hit to the head didn't do any damage to my brain. I feel fine, to tell the truth, but the nurse wasn't so sure. So Wingman and Caroline promised to stay a while so that they could check up on me in the morning.

Wow, looking at this log makes me feel a little stupid. I really am sorry for not being able to remember all of that, it feels like everything that happened today took place a couple of months ago. (*cough cough it really did happen in July cough and I can't remember any of it cough*) I'll make sure to write a better log for tomorrow.

Oh, and before I go, I wanna say one more thing. Writing without fingers is a pain. I hope I get to evolve soon.

And about the Black solo run, it will happen. I just need to figure out how to cheat in a Mogurew.

Thanks for the congratulations

, anyway i decided to help you out and find this for you(spoilers cause it's large text wall)

Spoiler:

Copied and pasted it off a website. Anyway this should help you get mogurew when you wont to start your run.

P.S. If you have not already you will have to patch the game with the exp patch(the piracy protection stops you from getting exp XD), which can be found relatively easily through google, or gbatemp.

tory558 · #**379** November 25th, 2010, 02:26 PM

if someone wouldnt mind can you please tell me how i can get a gligar for pokemon soul silver because i might do two pokemon solo runs on different games for different threads

Thanks a bunch! I couldn't find that at all. I don't know what I was doing wrong. And I have patched the game with it - heck, I've already beaten the whole thing before. XD

I also found a patch that makes some of the text English, or at least the moves and Pokémon names. It sounds small, but it helps a lot. So here's to finally getting to start that run. I'll post back in a while with a little log.

Rainbow-Sasuke · #**381** November 25th, 2010, 03:27 PM

@Lord_Storm Just out of interest, what type is Blast's Hidden Power?

the :D · #**382** November 25th, 2010, 04:23 PM

okay, fine... I guess you guys make sense.

this is what I've decided:

scratch the whole emerald solo run. it doesn't exist. I will delete it, too.

this is my new solo challenge, and it's much more epic.

what I will do is I will go through with the WHOLE thing.

LeafGreen (kanto) --> HeartGold (johto - as soon as I can find a working ROM) --> Emerald (hoenn) --> Platinum (sinnoh)

at the beginning of each game, I will name myself ARTEM (cuz that's my name...), and my rival BLUE, SILVER, and KLAUS, for KANTO, JOHTO, and SINNOH. obviously, you can't name May.

and also, I will hack in a low-level shiny beldum (because shiny looks so sick), and due to protests, I will do no further hacks.

amidoinitrite?

Much better. And having a shiny Pokémon is just fine. I think both stargate and I started at Level 5, so that should be the best level to hack in. Good luck!

User Name: MareBear
Trainer: Mary
Game: SoulSilver
Pokemon: Shuppet / Banette
Time on Game: 3:24

Badge Case:

So, I started my Solo run with Shuppet/Banette last night. I began with the intro stuff, then once I obtained the PokeBalls from Ethan, I hacked in a level 5 Shuppet, who I named Dusk. We took on the gym in Violet City and beat Falkner thanks to Dusk's Curse and a little bit of luck. After looking at the Ruins of Alph and finishing grabbing some items, we headed to Azalea Town for our next badge. After running through Union Cave while battling trainers and grabbing items on the way, we made it to Azalea Town. We helped out Kurt and beat Team Rocket easily with Dusk being at least 8 levels higher than Proton's strongest Pokemon. We healed and headed over to beat Bugsy, who was pretty easy again and Dusk swept the gym with no problems. Once we beat the gym, we met our rival Silver for another battle. It was easy, again, and the only small problem we had was his Bayleef.

Current Team:

Dusk Level 23 ♂
Nature : Rash
Ability : Insomnia
Item : Shell Bell
Knock Off | Shadow Sneak | Night Shade | Will-O-Wisp

If you're looking for a translation patch you should definitely go here. They are constantly updating and are at least 90% done with all the translations. All the pokemon names and moves and text and such is in english and readable. This is what I use for pokémon black.

You used eggs? Dang. I found a NDS ROM hacking tool and changed the starters for mine. XD

Also, update on Black Solo Run. (In spoilers just in case people don't wanna know the events yet)

Spoiler:

So that's one badge, and it's already clear that I need lots of training.

Also, I know it's not a story. You try translating all of the Japanese text. What I know is due to the current stage of translation of a patch I'm using and Serebii/Marriland.

Badge Case:

After besting Silver, we started to make our way to Goldenrod City by way of the Ilex Forest. We made our way through Ilex Forest without much trouble then took on the trainers on Route 34. Once we made it to Goldenrod City and after finishing all the mini-quests, we took on the Goldenrod Gym. The trainers were easy but Whitney was very frustrating. Her Clefairy wasn't difficult at all but her Miltank gave me some trouble. Thanks to Attract and flinch hax, the battle was basically a stall war until Dusk was able to get a Will-O-Wisp off and eventually bring it down. Once we obtained the Plain badge, I set the clock forward to get the TM Return from the Department Store then we set off for Ecruteak City by way of Route 35, 36, and 37.

When we arrived at Ecruteak, we healed up and then made our way to the Dance Theater, where we saved another Kimono Girl, but this time from a Team Rocket Grunt. After that, we went to the Burned Tower, where we beat our rival again with ease, met Morty and Eusine, and set free the three roaming legendaries. We then headed to the Gym for our 4th badge and won it pretty easily, thanks to a type advantage but at the same time, not really. After beating Morty and heading back to a Pokemon Center, we headed for the next city on our list, Olivine City. We battled trainers on Routes 38 and 39 and Dusk finally evolved into a Banette! He's so much stronger now and I'm pretty confident we can take on anything. Also, we found a Shiny Leaf right before getting to Olivine City too!

EDIT: We finished the Lighthouse and just beat Chuck and Jasmine. Chuck went down fairly easily and Jasmine finally went down thanks to a double knockout. We are now headed to the Safari Zone to get the trainers and items there then back to Ecruteak to head on to Mahogany Town. At Mahogany, we stopped Team Rocket easily then faced Pryce, who also went down without a fight. We are now on our way to Goldenrod to stop Team Rocket once and for all!

Current Team:

Dusk Level 52 ♂
Nature : Rash
Ability : Insomnia
Item : Shell Bell
Faint Attack | Shadow Claw | Return | Will-O-Wisp

just beat gyms 3-7 and i am heasing to destroy team galactic in veilstone. This is going to be easy. I am level 60 and still leveling up. Does anyone know a good place for a tyranitar that knows earthquake, hyper beam, thunderbolt, and flamethrower to train.

Badge Case:

Time for a long update! We literally just beat the Elite Four and became Champion but I'll start off where we left off with my team beating Team Rocket at Goldenrod City. After we crushed Silver again and disbanded Team Rocket, we headed for our final badge in Blackthorn City. At this point Dusk was OHKOing pretty much everything in his path, including Clair and her team and any other trainers we faced. After obtaining our final badge, we headed home to New Bark Town to see Professor Elm. Then, we made our way to see the Kimono Girls and face Lugia, who Dusk defeated pretty easily. Once that was over, we headed for Victory Road and all the while, beating any trainer we came across. By the time we got to the Indigo Plateau and beat Silver for the final time, Dusk was in the middle 60s and still beating everything in sight.

After stocking up, we then took on the Elite Four on our own. Will went down without a fight thanks to Faint Attack and Shadow Claw. Koga was also easy as well, despite his Forretress spamming Protect the entire match. Bruno was easy thanks to an X-Attack boost and Karen was surprisingly easy, as her Houndoom went down with one Return. Lance was an entire different story though and thankfully I saved before his match 'cause I restarted twice before finding the right combination of items and beating him to earn my spot as Champion of the Johto League!

Current Team:

Dusk Level 71 ♂
Nature : Rash
Ability : Insomnia
Item : BrightPowder
Faint Attack | Shadow Claw | Return | Charge Beam

The Solo Runner will be Trapinch (evolving).

wingman11 · #**399** November 28th, 2010, 10:06 PM

No update in a while cause Thanksgiving has been keeping me busy. (Plus every time I tried to update, the server was too busy, and I tried about four different times.) But here we go.

Spoiler:

So now I'm at three badges and I've already encountered Team Plasma a total of 5 times. Very interesting so far.

By the way...

The USC doesn't yet require you to play through the fifth generation yet, so if you don't want to, there's no need for it.
