Time to start a new adventure

Saved Professor Birch and got my starter pokémon

Got 3 new party members in route 102 and 104

Trained a bit and got the first badge

Saved the wingull and caught a nincada as a cut slave

Caught 2 new pokémon after reaching Dewford, boxed the magicarp

Done some training, evolved Lotad and beaten the 2nd gym leader, it was a hard fight mainly because my team was a bit underleveled

Taught nincada flash and ready to go into Granite cave

Chose the Female Protagonist.
Named myself Kyouki as usual.
SRed for a female Chikorita which I named Chibi, as usual.
Did the whole trip to Mr. Pokémon's house to get the Egg.
Obtained my Pokédex.
Got the call from Elm about the theft.
Rushed back home.
Met the thief along the way. He claimed his name was ??? so that's exactly what I told the cops.
Caught Vincent the HootHoot.
Trained Vincent to level 9 while waiting for morning.
Morning came so I caught Lilah the Sentret.
Trained Lilah to level 8.
Battled Joey and the other guy. Avoided the Bug Catcher in the grass.
Went Teddiursa hunting in the Dark Cave.
Fled from tons of Zubats, tons of Geodudes and (EXACTLY) 2 Dunsparce.
Ran into a couple of Teddiursa that fled.
Caught Necrum the Teddiursa after a while.
Trained Necrum to level 10, battling the Bug Catcher I left behind in the process.
Trained Lilah to level 9 and Vincent to level 10.
Entered Violet City, healed at the PokéCenter and saved.

Started with Piplup because penguins.
Played through the game intro.
Watched Dawn catch a Bidoof.
Caught Boss, my level 2 docile Stary on Route 201.
Stats:
And I'm currently grinding on Route 201 to get Starly to something ridiculous like level 15 or something. Roark is going to bone me.

-Ground out a few levels before getting fed up with switching every battle and just catching enough pokes to earn the EXP share
-Used EXP share throughout Silph Co. to grind Crusher and Tadpole, both of whom evolved to Kingler and Poliwhirl along the way
-Started using Lapras immediately. Also, got tired of nicknaming my pokes, so I didn't nickname it lol
-Saffron Gym was really easy due to Crusher's high attack stat
-Ground out some more levels along the two routes to Fuschia, teaching Lapras Shock Wave along the way
-Koga was easy with Crusher using Mud Shot and Tadpole using Psychic
-EXP shared my brand new Tentacool on the way to Cinnabar, where I immediately revived Omanyte, rounding out my final team. Neither got nicknamed
-Pokemon Mansion and Cinnabar were both cakewalks, with Rain OHKOing all of Blaine's pokes. Fought all of the trainers inside the gym instead of answering the trivia[why waste the levels?]
-Ground out some more levels on my way back to Pallet
-Giovanni was the easiest trainer in his gym, because almost none of his trainers use Ground types
-Beat Rival Green on the way to Elite Four[Forgot you had to battle him there again]
-Beat Elite Four. Omanyte evolved to Omastar after battle with Lance. Lapras beasted pretty much everything
-Barely Beat Champion Green. Hooray for items and Lapras being an unstoppable tank

M.V.P.
Lapras Lvl. 49
199/94/88/107/115/87
Ice Beam
Surf
Shock Wave
Hydro Pump[Learned after Last Battle, was Body Slam]

An unstoppable tank, Lapras' high HP and relatively high Defense made it very difficult to KO, meaning it could dish out tons of damage

Rain the Vaporeon Lvl. 46
188/66/76/132/108/79
Surf
Aurora Beam
Bite
Water Pulse

My MVP until Lapras showed up, Rain was the reason for my dominance earlier in the game. Pretty high Special Attack coupled with decent Speed and tons of HP let her dish out tons of damage, as well

Tadpole the Poliwhirl Lvl. 45
125/74/71/68/58/105
Psychic
Brick Break
Body Slam
Belly Drum

Any time a Poison, Fighting, Normal, or low Defense poke showed up, Tadpole dealt with it. Was planning on evolving him once he learned Hydro Pump, but I never got that far lol.

Crusher the Kingler Lvl. 42
113/128/107/53/60/75
Stomp
Strength
Mud Shot
Guillotine

Originally brought in because I'd never used a Kingler before, Crusher's High Attack and decent Defense quickly made him a favorite and my go to against low Defense or Psychic types. Also dealt with a majority of Electric pokes with Mud Shot.

Omastar Lvl. 40
116/65/115/111/70/57
Bite
Mud Shot
Water Gun
Spike Cannon

Mostly there because I have always thought Omanyte and Omastar were awesome, I never really used Omastar that much. Pretty much just filler to take a beating while I revived and healed.

L.V.P.
Tentacruel Lvl. 35
107/64/54/70/96/87
Poison Sting
Bubblebeam
Acid
Cut

Only there because Tentacruel has always been a favorite of mine, Tentacruel almost never got used. He got brought on board way too late into the game to have much use, as pretty much every slot had been filled. Essentially an HM slave, Tentacruel never launched a single attack, and only appeared in battle to allow me time to heal and revive my other pokes, Tentacruel is my LVP, even if he is pretty awesome when you get one early game.
