So I started my Platinum part at the Trophy Garden where I spent sometime finding the daily Pokémon there, in this case it was Meowth and Castform. After they were caught I went and caught today's swarm Pokémon, Delibird. After all of that was done, I went to the Fight Area and then for the first time in the game, I went to the Resort Area, catching some of the Pokémon such as Wailord in the process. I then spent the rest of the time earning money to buy stuff for my Villa in the Resort Area.

So yeah, I was lost in Victory Road, I found my way out and went to heal and teach some TMs, then went to redo Victory Road, made it out the correct way, grinded for 5 minutes, complained about my GBA, said "**** grinding", bought things, saved, switched to SP, and blew everyone up. I was at least 10 levels under or more and it was the easiest E4 and Champion ever. Why was that hard as a kid? Oh, whatever. And when I thought I was done I found out that Ur Mom was the REAL champion. Oh. MAN. Easy peasy. Pikachu sucks.

Next in line was Silver...as I turned on the game, I realized I could no longer play as TREVOR anymore. I had the option for a new game. RIP Silver. :( I'm going to get a battery and have a friend replace it for me though, so it'll be back. However, I'm going to move Silver to the back of my list, behind Black 2. I could use the ROM, but I don't feel like busting out another laptop just to play it, and idk if my PC can handle running ROMs at the moment. I don't want it off my list, though. So I'm just pushing it back.

So here's the new one, although it's not really different. I just moved Silver to the back and kept everything else in place.

TRUST ME. I would rather be playing Silver than freaking LeafGreen lmao. I'll update that later. But yeah, I hope none of y'all are mad at me for changing it. :(

I grinded my team...half of them were below 40. I also grinded for money to buy a Thunderbolt TM for Starmie, though Zapdos needs one too. But I didn't plan on using it till the rest of the team caught up to it anyway, so eh. That didn't even happen. I also evolved Rhyhorn and Clefairy. Good stuff. And then after grinding, I completed Silph Co and called it quits.

So this is my RNG file and it's already complete. All I did was RNG for the first time in months and train my Politoed from level 57 to 66. That's pretty good though I'd say!!

I bought a Game Boy Color today, which is fitting because I had Crystal today. Weirdly though, it made me reset the time when I started playing. It didn't die, but yeah. Anyone know what that means btw? :( I hope it's not kicking the bucket soon. I mean, I just lost Silver. Anyway, I grinded levels a lot today, mainly on Norway V (wtf does this name mean?) and Ruby Mace. Couldn't get her to evolve, but I somehow lucked out and got a Leaf Stone, so that got used. Yup. Also bred an Eevee egg because I want a Jolteon, but due to GSC's crappy TMs and TM placement in general, I would be going through almost the whole game with a STABless Jolteon, so I at LEAST wanted Thundershock. The egg never hatched while I was playing though. Ho hum.

I ended up not having a save file, so I just started a new game, I ended up catching a bunch of Pokemon and grinding a lot, so I already have my possible full game team. I saved right after beating Pryce, I also traded with Silver using TBG-Dual to evolve some Pokemon. My Pokemon's levels are extremely high for this part of the game.

I did the Goldenrod Takeover...yeah. Mostly tried to get Roids and Garid to catch up in levels, but that didn't totally happen. I did my time requirements and then played something else and came up with an awesome challenge idea so this SS file is about to be gone anyway, hence the early update. XD This file has gone through so many team changes and such and it's an old file...time for a fresh start. So enjoy the last update of this team.

Still considering whether or not to do this challenge, this challenge is more like 'Don't Forger the Time challenge' I can really lose track of time when playing Pokemon :l

[chaoticlapras]

Right, I'll take on beginner.
Games : Black (unsavable), Black (the one that's saved), Heartgold, Emerald (ROM, might have to change the day or remove this), Diamond (ROM, same rules as Emerald), FireRed (ROM, sameules as Emerald and Diamond)
I think that's the sign-up, will edit if I got t wrong, and for my updates.

I didn't do much in this part of my challenge. I've finished pretty much everything so I just did some Battle Factory battles at the Battle Frontier. I lost pretty quickly this time due to hax though.

The next game on my list is Pearl, which also my next one on my Solo Challenge, so I guess it could count for both.

Not really. I haven't been posting my time for a while now. Or my starting status. Just more like an overview of it. And I haven't been consistent with this challenge either. It doesn't require you to play every single day until your list is complete, and it's not mandatory you post your time and stuff.

I think I'll do this challenge, hopefully I can stick with it :/

I haven't slept yet, I can't sleep.
Since HG is my next game, I played HeartGold for 7 hours straight this morning by getting my HeartGold Ground Mono done.
BTW, it's 6:41 PM right now, so I have been awake for a while. :D And I'm still not even tired.
