  • Okay, so today I thought to myself... Man, I'm getting tired of these monotype runs, so I figured I'd start on several runs at a time (Yippee!). I'm still doing my Grass mono and my Normal mono, but meanwhile I'll sign up for a Dragon mono, starting in LeafGreen, because since I'm using emulators, it seems I can only trade between games from Gen III. So yea, here goes.

    Dragon entry
    Version: LeafGreen
    Badges: 1
    Location: Pewter City

    Ok, so for whatever reason I chose Charmander as my starter. Sadly, even though Charizard is very dragon-like, I won't be able to use it... So, as soon as possible, I traded a Dratini in from my other LeafGreen savefile, and so I started - After some grinding and some frustration, because Dratini doesn't obey that much, I managed to get to Pewter City, where I kicked Brock's ass by spamming Twister.

  • Dragon challenges seem to get popular, and I continued on mine as well, since my school starts late today and I was awake surprisingly early.

    I am not looking forward to Whitney's Miltank, but hopefully I'll be able to grind up for Leech Seed. Alternately, I'll get lucky with Metronome and Miltank will be less useful.

    It just sucks that I need to beat Whitney before I can go to Ecruteak and start on Morty so that I can get a relatively early Gligar. I'm not looking forward to being underlevelled for Mahogany Rocket Base, but Gligar is more important.

    Lots of switches, very long battle, Toxic is a life saver, Espeon is hell, Revive is also a life saver, Dynamic Punch ftw, hax was mainly on my side, and Red was truly the hardest trainer I ever battled.

    Finally, done with Crystal, now to Emerald.

    Beat Red Gyarados, it but up a pretty good fight. Did the whole Team Rocket stuff, Seadra gained an awful lot of levels because I could skip hardly any trainers, except for those surveillance statue grunts of course. Beat Claire, she was a lot easier than I was expecting. Got her Badge in Dragon's Den and went to Ecruteak to search for the Dragon Scale inside Mt.Mortar - but then i noticed I don't have the Flash HM yet because I skipped Bellsprout Tower.
    Thus, next is Bellsprout Tower :D, then getting Kingdra, and then I can go challenge the Elite 4.

    Icy Wind
    Doesn't this look like I intend to overpower Surf (which does already have 2 PP Ups applied by the way)? Well, I can't do much else, so why not?

    Did all the stuff mentioned in my last post, this means: Bellsprout Tower, Mt.Mortar, trading, Elite 4. They were easy, my only problem was Surf's PP. Here, Kingdra was at level 64. Did everything in Kanto until Snorlax. Got Magnet Train ticket and bought Ice Beam for Kingdra, which is despite me skipping everything possible overleveled as hell.

  • Dragon entry
    Version: LeafGreen
    Badges: 3
    Location: Route 10

    So, I just defeated Lt. Surge. Despite the fact that I'm overleveled, this is quite the challenge, because Dragonair doesn't really obey me - I lost to Misty two times in a row, because Dragonair wouldn't listen, and because her stupid Starmie kept using Recover. I'm just about to go through the Rock Tunnel, which I fear a wee bit.. Anyway, my "team" so far:

    pkfrlg148.png
    Dragonair, lv. 44
    Relaxed // Shed Skin
    - Twister
    - Water Pulse
    - Slam
    - Shock Wave

    If only she would obey me, she would be badass, and this challenge would be a piece of cake. But on the other hand, I guess that would be boring.

    Flying Warriors take flight, to purge the land of JOHTO of the menace that is team ROCKET...

    Plot wise, I picked up the RADIO CARD and started on WHITNEY's gym.

    Advancement wise, Pokey learned Sweet Kiss and was taught Rollout, and Grey Eagle evolved into Pidgeotto. Woodsey is being kept from evolving until after Level 30, for teh movez.
