Combined Pokemon Solo Challenge Thread

[Ruki_Kato]

Update Time!

Spoiler:

Took on Bugsy with no trouble. Most everything in the gym went down in one hit besides his Scyther, it took 2. 2/8

Headed to Ilex Forest. Pretty easy roping the farfetch'd back to it's owner. Obtained Cut, taught it to Belle. Obtained Headbutt, taught that to Tron.

Made my way to Goldenrod City. After trying to figure out how to get the items in the Mart Basement, I gave up. Instead I got the Bike from the Bike Shop. Sweetness, no more walking.

Took on Gym Pink while I was here. Whitney's Miltank was only 4 levels under Tron and gave me the most trouble in taking 3 headbutts to the face to take down. Obtained the badge without trouble otherwise. 3/8

Making my way North from Goldenrod I got lost. After cutting my way through a bush I found the wiggly tree again. Seeing as I couldn't get past it, I went East instead and found the National Park. Since I went South from there I ended up full circle in Goldenrod again. I grabbed the squirtbottle and headed back to the wiggly tree.

After spraying the tree it attacked. I caught it and named it Not A Tree, the liar. Shoved it into a box and took out Eggbert to take to Prof. Elm. He gave me an Everstone, considered it to be a waste of a trip.

After getting lost on where to go for awhile I ended up in Ecruteak City. Taking on the Kimono girls was my first stop. Everything going down in one hit besides the Umbreon, that took two. Obtained Surf and realized I have nothing to learn it.

Went to take on the Gym after this with no such luck as the leader wasn't here. Instead I went to the burnt tower and found the leader who wasn't leaving. Saw Clu and decided to take him on. All his pokemon went down in one hit, still has a Croconaw though. Afterwards he mocks me for falling down a hole, the jerk.

After releasing the 3 dog pokmeon I made my way to the gym. Everything besides Gengar goes down in one hit, it took two. This gym also skyrocketed Tron up 2 levels, awesome. 4/8

Next up I went back to Ilex forest to pick up 2 Psyduck. Named them Milo and Kida. Taught Milo Surf, Flash, and Rock Smash for now. Kida learned Dig. Stuck Belle into the box for now. 4 of 4 Pokemon on me.

Going back through Goldenrod I took care of some things I forgot. Grabbed the Coin Case, Radio Card, and the Blue Card. Also went back down to the Day Care to get the Odd Egg. Do eggs count as party too? Once it hatches it's going straight into a box either way.

Made my way East from Ecruteak City after this hoping to find a Farfetch'd on route 38. No such luck so far though, will keep looking.

Congratulatios on taking ownership of the Solo Challenge, James901! Glad to see my name up on the list now.

I would post an in depth up date, but I usually use Bulbapedia as a reference, which is really hard to do without a computer. I beat Maylene last night, earning my 4th badge. Gonna try to finish this challenge quickly after I finish Love In The Clouds.

I don't quite understand the question. Are you asking to be put in the champions list? If yes then no problem I'll change it right away, it would be good to see the screenshot though its not manditory. Also for the Kanto games the challenge ends when your beat the champion, your rival, the first time so whatever you do after that is up to you.

Using your slaves and whatnot to catch other Pokemon is fine, just don't fight any trainers unless its with the Pokemon you're soloing with.

As for the double battles that's completely understandable, when it comes to them its really up to you what to do. I normally just KO the slaves though switching between them seems like a better option, wish I thought of that.

[Febbe]

okay thanks

just one problem i can't put pics in my posts before i have 15 posts, but they will come when i have posted 15 messages

Wow, you do go far back. You've been working on that challenge for quite a while. James only just took over, and there are so many posts in the thread and such a huge gap where no one updated that it's no wonder you weren't on the list. It would be a nightmare trying to bring this thread all the way up to speed with all those posts.

Can't wait to get back to this challenge. For whatever reason seeing all your solo posts makes me want to do mine more. lmao. Almost done with Love in the Clouds, then I'll be making the push with Gallade, and maybe starting my other planned solo, Nidoking.

[Febbe]

okay here is pics for my arbok Fire red Solo Challenge

Spoiler:

that should be it the pics are after Beating the Elite four the second time, at the first elite four Trapper was at ~85 :D

[Mr. Whiscash]

Just started my Pokemon Red run, after rolling Vileplume of all things. Oddish is a REALLY rough start. Like I thought it was going to be impossible until I got Acid. Oh man I can't believe I'd be so excited to get Acid!
e: Turns out I did it. Petal Dance was actually really useful by the endgame and Body Slam is a good move. I give this whole run 2 stars out of 5.

[NecrumWarrior]

Waha! I finished playing Love In The Clouds, so today I spent some time on my solo challenge. I just beat Crusher Wake, so now I have 5 badges. Solo challenges don't really seem to be my cup of tea to be honest, but I will tough it out and complete this challenge! And maybe do it one more time with Nidoking...

I guess I'm back with this, don't know if all my posts went anywhere, but I am doing Ultimate, and I have completed 3/5 of my generations. FR, G, and Ruby have been finished, I move on now to Diamond, in which I have already completed most of the game (7/8 badges) Pokemon: Arcanine

After demolishing the 7th gym and seeing my rival, Barry, depressed I believe I heard Mars talk about the Veilstone city HQ, Maybe I should take a trip there and rain on some parades. After reaching the HQ, I find that my investigation needs to be further carried out underground and my main goal is to infiltrate the Team Galactic HQ. Thus, I get lost for at least fifteen minutes thinking I had more work to do when I had finished off the last trainer...

(By the way, the last two games [Diamond and Black] will be on my DS so, I'm gonna have to generate Growlithe onto the next game)

Arcanine's progress:

Thanks for keeping track of everything James, I'll have White 2 done soon.

Spoiler:

Made my way to Olivine City. I met Clu there, while still a jerk I didn't have to fight him.

Since there was no trainer in the gym I headed to the lighthouse. Took a couple of minutes to figure out how to get to the top. After finding out I needed to get medicine getting down was easy.

I headed east after healing. Seeing the Battle Tower I decide to go take it on, only to find out I can't. I head south instead through the maze of water. After making it to Cianwood I enter the first house I see. Out of terror the guy gives me Shuckie the Shuckle who's stuck post haste into the nearest PC terminal. Although I think I'd try to get my pets back if someone stole them, or at the least called the police.

Took on Gym Muscle with minimal effort, although I did have to go out and heal once. 5/8 badges obtained at this point. After getting the medicine from the pharmacy I swam back to Olivine only to figure out that the Gym Leaders wife has Fly, so I swam back to get that. Tick Tock the Hoot Hoot was taken out for the time being for a fly slave.

Flew back to Olivine and entered the cafe to get strength. After that I headed back up to give the Ampharos medicine. Once completed I headed to the Gym. Seeing as all the other gyms were cake to this point I take on the lone little girl. Much to my horror I die 3 times to her Steelix whom I'm 14 levels higher than at this point. I decide it's time to level a bit.

I swam past Mt. Mortor to Mahogony town to do the Lake of Rage quest line. After an hour of figuring out where to go I enter the house to the secret Rocket Base. Going through was pretty easy and I'm done with it in no time.

At this point I'm a level 52 and I figure I'm more than high enough to ruin the Steelixs day. I was wrong. After two more losses I teach Tron Dynamic Punch. I nearly run out of PP before taking it down. 6/8 obtained and I hate this Gym. On the plus side, Iron Tail, so Tron learns that.

Once that was all done I headed to the Radio Tower in Goldenrod. Had to heal up twice before finishing it due to quickly diminishing PP reserves but all in all, it was no trouble. The stupid button puzzle in the Underground Basement however, got me lost for 4 days. I'll be honest, felt like a noob for not knowing the solution was 3-2-1. Yeah...moving right along. Also took on Clu, his team falls easy.

Got the keycard from the Director in the Basement. I'm sure he'll see himself out somehow. After beating the Executive it seems I've saved the Radio Tower, the Director, and Pokemon. All in a days work. After that I headed to Tin Tower. Suicune was captured after 2 Iron Tails, 1 Poke Ball, and 1 Great Ball. I got lucky and Borealis the Suicune is inducted into the PC of northern lights.

Somewhere along the line I forgot to record my 7th badge. So yeah, I'm at 7/8. I remember the frost gym being pretty easy with the big wooly mamoth taking a few hits to bring down. Also, while at Rage Lake I catch Musashi the Farfetch'd and teach it both Cut and Fly. Tick Tock is stuck back and I've got my team for the rest of the game.

I decided after Suicune to see what I missed in Mt. Mortor. After getting some nice items I head east past Mahogony Town and enter the Ice Caves. All the puzzles are easy and I end up in Black Thorn in no time. After some supplies it's time for gym 8.

Claire's gym shows no challenge as everything but a Dratini and her Kingdra go in one hit. The Dratini I accidentally hit with a Mud Slap (This replaced Dynamic Punch) and got a Dragon Rage to the face. Her Kingdra survived 3 Thunderbolts before biting the dust. Unfortunately she hasn't given me the badge yet so 7/8 still.

All in all I got lost a lot and leveled a ton. Hence the ginormous update.

I'll keep this update short.

After foiling Team Galactic's plan of creating a new world, I head to Sunyshore City where My favorite Gym leader seems to be Depressed, Is it me or is everyone around me always depressed, You all should try Cymbalta, the TV says it helps lol. Anyway, I show Volkner that there are some tough trainers out there while satisfying his boredom. I make my way to victory road, which I got out of the way in one trip, thank arceus. The Elite 4 seemed to be a little bit more difficult this time around, Maybe it was Big Bertha's Golem that made it more difficult, oh and I can't forget Cynthia's Garchomp that got a Crit earthquake on my poor Wolf/tiger/whatever it is. But all in all, I pulled out of this game satisfied, though I could have done better.

I was taking a long nice run around Aspertia, when Sableye hatched! we became aquianted, and after a quick stop at the Pokemon Center, we head of on our journey together! On Route 20, we defeated some Purrloins, and sped our way through to Virbank. On arrival, we trained up in the Complex before sweeping Roxie's Gym, and just as we were about to leave, a scout from Pokestar Studios came along and invited me to become an actor! So I'm about to star in my first film, after seeing a, unique production by Roxie's Dad, and Sableye needs a little rest after all the battling he's done s far.

Ok, so after watching that episode of the Pokemon anime when that Bellsprout nearly sweeps Ash's team, I decided to be a bit random and start a LeafGreen solo with Bellsprout. Of course, I can't evolve it, so I'll just have to hack it in early with an Everstone just so I don't accidently evolve it by not hitting the B button. Meh, worth a shot.
