(let's keep it simple for this one, no hack.)

Crystal's battery is dead, so, I can't play it right now(gonna repair it soon) but I have some time until Blue is done. Also, sapphire's battery is also dead, but it doesn't kill the save, so, I guess it's fine. If not, I can always emulate it. Won't repair sapphire right now, so.
Edit: Oh, Blue is on emulator, I don't want to lose my save randomly, because the battery is probably dying soon.

Just beat SoulSilver. I have completed the Johto and Kanto region now. Sorry I haven't posted my last few days of work, but I will recap tomorrow. I'm tired tonight and I have an audition tomorrow so I will just state the main points of my day's achievements.

Main achievements of Day 4-

-Caught another fire type. Slugma, I nicknamed him slugball
- Defeated my rival again at Mt. Moon
- Beat 4-8 gym in Kanto region
- Defeated Elite 4 again
- Defeated Red

Game beat time 16 :47

Final team:

Spoiler:

Nickname: Furball
Lvl 94
Moveset: Eruption / Shadow Claw / Cut / Flamethrower


Nickname: HM Slave 1

Nickname: HMSlave3
Lvl 15
Moveset: Surf / Waterfall / Whirlpool / Toxic Spikes


Nickname: Slugball
Lvl 27
Movest: Rock Throw / Harden / Recover / AncientPower

I used a spearow to fly around, and I never hatched the egg. I used mostly furball, my typhlosion for battling. I would've used slugma more, but I caught him so late in the game that there wasn't much point. The hardest battle for me in the game was beating Lance that second time.

[razzbat]

I'm going for the ultimate fire monotype challenge now. Wish me luck!

I'm currently working in the Sinnoh region. Question, since I beat SS shouldn't I have beaten the kanto and johto regions? Also, I'll recap my adventure of SSS today.

No. Because you haven't defeated the Kanto elite four and champion. You only defeated the Johto elite and champion, and the true champion red. If we counted gsc hgss as Kanto then no one would play rby frlg, which is part of what this challenge is meant to be.
