Blue down :D Really pleased with how that went, was down 20 levels on Red's Venusaur but still pulled it off :D 1st run of elite four, no faint run of Blue. I can't post pics until I've posted 15 times, but I have a couple, will update with them once I reach 15 posts :)

Onto Gold! Never finished Gold before lol, now I'm gonna do it on a monotype run. This will take longer though - I know Gens 1 and 3 really well, 4 ok, but the other 2 not at all. But hey, let's see how it goes :P

The Winning Team:

Bob the Blastoise: Lv 46
Strength/Fissure/Earthquake/Surf

Steve the Gyarados: Lv 46
Body Slam/Thunderbolt/Fire Blast/Hydro Pump

Gerald the Lapras: Lv 46
Ice Beam/Body Slam/Sing/Surf

Pete the Starmie: Lv 46
Blizzard/Water Gun/Surf/Recover

Barbara the Seaking: Lv 46
Peck/Waterfall/Surf/Horn Attack

Len the Vaporeon: Lv 45
Double-Edge/Surf/Ice Beam/Bite

Looking at you guys doing Bug runs, they look really tough, will have to try that one eventually :) I'll focus on this one for now though.

Well, I've decided to do another UMC. For this run, I've decided to use Ground types on LeafGreen, HeartGold, Ruby, Platinum, and Black. However, for this run I've decided to mix things up a bit by doing all of the games at once. I've divided each game into 9 parts. For LG, R, and Pt I'm doing one gym at a time and the E4 as the final segment, and for HG I'm doing two gyms at a time so I can end at the same time so I can end at the same time as the other games. For Black, I've put gyms 4 and 5 together since I have to rematch the E4 to defeat Alder. The only deviation from the plan above right now is that I won't be starting HG for a while since my sister lost my copy and I have to wait on her to find it or buy me a new one. Once I get a copy of it I'll just catch up to be even with the other games. Anyways, here is my signup:

Username: deku
Type: Ground
Challenge: Ultimate
Game(s): LeafGreen, HeartGold, Ruby, Platinum, Black

I'll do an update once I make progress in each of the games besides HG.

UPDATE:

Again, I'm too lazy to upload the pics. I'll do it later.

Only been able to play for about 90 mins, but the speed button has help me accomplish a lot. From the start of Mt Moon last time, here are the highlights:

- Beat Misty, Lt Surge and Erika
- Evolved Bronto through to Venusaur with razor leaf critting everything, Rex through to Nidoking with Thrash doing wonders
- Caught an Ekans (Nagini), evolved through to Arbok but I'm kind of unsure his future usefulness
- Caught a Ghastly (Casper), and using TGB Dual evolved through to Gengar. Really good with Thunderbolt and Psychic
- Caught a Tentacool (Cruella) with the Super Rod and am training her up with the tried and true switching method
- Caught an Oddish (Root), just to be a Cut HM Slave

Just taking on Silph Co now. Gotta say, that damn Hypno on the 3rd floor is a tank, and Confusion DESTROYS me big time. had 3 semi-injured teammates fall there, requiring a heal, and I decided to take a break.

So until next time folks!

Kanto stage of UMC Poison is COMPLETE!

In the end it was a trio of Cruella, Casper and Bronto that got me through the last 3 gyms and the Pokemon League. Rex and Nagini were just useless in the end.


So to summarise: Red Version, Poison Type winner, mamoswineftw


EDIT: Am continuing this challenge into ultimate, going to Crystal next!
