Thanks very much! I just had a quick look back through the pages in this thread and it turns out I've not actually updated a challenge of my own for over a year now...! My first Ones that Got Away challenge ended last December, and since then I've been allocated a team but never got round to starting it. There's several reasons for this - life got in the way, Skyrim got in the way, my addiction to Nuzlocke challenges got in the way (I've actually got 4 on the go at once at the moment, all at the pre-E4 training stage except my White challenge which is just post-Nimbasa). I also started to draw out a Nuzlocke comic over on the official Nuzlocke boards.

In other words, I had a million and one other things to do, and as my Soul Silver cartridge is in use (for one of those Nuzlocke challenges) I just never had a chance to start. I think it's probably best that I put my own repeat Ones that Got Away challenge on an official hiatus for now, but rest assured I'll still be checking the board to read updates and fiddle with the original post. I still fully intend to do my second challenge but it'll just be a while before I start. It's possible in fact that I'll bump it up to a White challenge instead, we shall see...

Anyways, thanks again for complimenting my original updates (surprised you read through them as they were so long!) and keep your own coming!

Not a problem, I enjoy and envy guys like you and a couple of others who take time and write really good posts, not bullet pointed updates like myself :P I just don't have time to play AND do long updates.

TOTGA Pokemon Blue Part 1

-Cheese: Hi, Mom.
-Mom: ...Right, all boys leave home someday. It said so on TV.
-C: Your kicking me out?!
-M: Yep.
Outside
-C: Damn it. What am I supposed to do now? Well, might as well go to Viridian City for some Pokeballs.
Grassy Area
-Professor Oak: STOP!!! *Tackles*
-C: AAAHHH! What the hell, Oak?
-PO: Were you hurt by the wild Pokemon?
-C: No, just a senile old man.
-PO: Good, follow me.
In the lab
-PO: This is my lab. These are my Pokemon.
-Ham: Gramps, I want Pokemon.
-PO: Wait your turn, child!
-C: Ok, I'll pick the Bulbasaur. Named Slave
-Slave: You are an ass.
-H: I'll take the Charmander. (Haha)
-C: Well, see ya, Ham. (Hehe)
-H: Wait, battle me, bro!
-C: Crap.
One sucky effort by a certain Bulbasaur later...
-H: Haha, smell ya later, loser!
-C: Well, that was a horrible effort, Slave.
-S: Shut up.
We're on the road to Viridian City!
-Pokemart Salesman: Hey, your from Pallet Town?
-C: How the hell did you know that?
-PS: Can you take this to Professor Oak for me?
-C: But really? I just... Fine. Lazy ass.
Back at the lab
-C: Oak, some package for you.
-PO: Thanks. Ah, my new balls are in!
-C: I hope to God you mean Pokeballs.
-H: Gramps, what did you want us for?
-PO: Oh, yeah. I need you to go on a potentially life threatening journey through the country, filling up an encyclopedia of dangerous creatures that could kill you. No big deal.
-H: Ok.
-C: Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoa

TOTGA Pokemon Blue Part 2

-Cheese: Jeez, Slave, you're a real jerk.
-Slave: And you smell like my ass, but you don't see me complaining about it.
-C: Grr... THAT'S IT! You are being switced for the first thing I find in this goddamn grass!
Wild Meowth appears!
-C: Wait a second... Meowths aren't even found here
-The Slice of Cheese: I got lazy, now catch it.
-C: Fine.
You caught Meowth!
-C: I'll call you Whiskers.

Slave stored (more like stuffed inhumanely) into Box 1
-C: Ok, Whiskers. Let's grind.
One grinding later...
-H: Hey, Cheese. That leads to the Pokemon League. You need 8 badges to go in, but I bet you don't have a single badge. Haha!

-H: Well, you won't win next time! Smell ya later!
-W: Hey, where did that sand come from?
-C: I've learned not to question this world.
-W: I can't help it. This world is weird.
In the Viridian Forest
-Bug Catcher: I am here with my friends for bug Pokemon. If you find them, they might fight you.
-W: Why?
-BC: Well, duh. Why not?
Later...
-BC #3- How did I lose?
-C: Well, all you have is caterpillers and cocoons. They're not that good.
-W: Sweet! I learned Bite! Wait a second... I knew how to bite before...
Out of Viridian Forest
-C: Damn, that was kind of annoying.
-W: But easy.

Alright... so... first update, not that far in yet. All I have for now is a Squirtle (Who, ironically enough, was my starter of choice in the RBY days, but I hadn't used him yet in FRLG. Odd), since everything else is after Rock Tunnel.

- Picked Squirtle in Professor Oak's Lab
- Destroyed Red in a battle without having to use a potion
- Ventured to Viridian City and did the whole "Oak's Parcel" errand
- Grinded Squirtle to level 10 and beat Red on Route 22
- Went through Viridian Forest
- Got to Pewter City, beat the first trainer in the gym and Squirtle evolved to Wartortle
- Crushed Brock with a couple of Water Guns
- Got the running shoes from Oak's Aide
- Cleared Route 3, Mt. Moon, and Route 4
- Got to Cerulean City, found a hidden Rare Candy
- Beat Red again, though it was a close fight because Sand-Attack hates me.
- Cleared Nugget Bridge and the rest of Rt. 24 and 25.
- Visited Bill and got the SS Ticket
- Journeyed back to Cerulean, ready to fight Misty

Team: Wartortle Lv. 31 (Bite, Tackle, Water Gun, Withdraw)

I was actually thinking of doing this challenge, and then I realized all the Pokemon that I wanted to go for a Poison monotype challenge with this. I'm not sure this is allowed, but there are 6 specific Pokemon that I've always wanted to use. The reason I want to do a mono on this thread and not the other one is the extra challenges I want to include here.

Name: Blitz
Game: All (Fire Red, Heart Gold, Emerald, Platinum, White)
List of Pokemon that got away: Beedrill, Nidoking, Vileplume, Gengar, Tentacruel, and Crobat
Number required: 6
Any specific requirements: I'm not starting with fully evolved forms, I will start off with the base forms of each.

Again, if this is not allowed and I have to pick from a wider range of Pokemon then I'll do so.

Take Dunsparce, Larvitar, Cloyster, Marowak, and Noctowl.

In other news, I'm putting my challenge on hold, SS is really slow and annoying, and I'm not enjoying it as much as the other challenges I'm doing. Hopefully I can get around to finishing it eventually.

For future reference, my team is Wailord, Aerodactyl, Froslass, Pachirisu, Hitmonchan, and Granbull.

Seems reasonable to me, if those are the Pokemon you've always wanted to raise, then those are your Ones that Got Away. Go for it!

Added you and pkfire0 to the Challengers list. And The Sceptile King.

Sorry to hear your challenge isn't going too well jdthebud - hopefully you'll get round to it eventually :)

Freakin' sweet man, thanks! I'll start right now.

Spoiler:


Team:
Spoiler:


Yeah, that's the first part of my little run here. I'll post another part of it shortly.

Edit: Dude, I am so pumped right now. I just beat the gym leader Brock with a BEEDRILL. Poison Sting, String Shot, Harden, and Fury Attack.

Spoiler:


Team:
Spoiler:


Yeah, I know the story made it seem like Randall went into Mt. Moon as a Nidoran, but I did a little off screen training before going in there. He evolved shortly before going into Mt. Moon and meeting Donna. By the way, if you guys could recommend any challenges for any Pokemon I have so far I'm open for suggestions here.

Edit 2: All right, since my last update I made immense progress through my challenge run. I won't be able to document what happened exactly and I couldn't possibly do it by memory. So I'm just going to show my team and describe any new Pokemon I catch.

Team:
Spoiler:


That's it for this update. Right now, I'm at the point where I have to go into the Rocket Hideout and fight the Rocket Boss Giovanni for the first time.

Edit 3: Once again, I have made immense progress (why does no one else post in this topic? lol). Right now I'm at Cinnabar and preparing to enter Pokemon Mansion to search for the key. The next update will have some story to it, but for now I can just update the team.

Team:
Spoiler:


As you can see, I added a bit of backstory for our final additions to the team. By the way, before anyone asks I am playing this on emulator and I did use VBA Link to aqcuire Gengar. Well, until the next update!

Edit 4:

Spoiler:


Team:
Spoiler:


I think I'm a bit over-leveled for Cinnabar Gym this time. We may or may not go after the legendary birds. I'll deal with that when I feel like it (not any time soon lol). Of course, there's going to be the whole fiasco with the Sevii Islands. I think I'll go there after I beat the 8th gym and the 7th(?) rival battle if I think I need training.

Edit 5:

Team:
Spoiler:


Pre-Viridian Gym
Spoiler:


Edit 5: Finally, I've beaten the Elite 4! It took only a little bit of grinding, but we've pulled through. It truly wasn't too much trouble, but it did take a few healing items.

Team:
Spoiler:


I also have photo evidence of my awesome team in the Hall of Fame. Now it's for more Sevii Isles junk after obtaining my national dex. And I only have 25 owned Pokemon entries... How fun.
