My Normal type challenge! (Red Version)

-Just started a new game. (On my emulator)
-Got my Pokedex
My Pokemon:
1.Rattata
2.Pidgey

jujuju · Apr 20, 2011

Ok, so I started of by taking a Cyndaquil and began the game. After doing all the beginning stuff, took on Falkner.

That was pretty easy. Cyndaquil had just evolved in the Sprout Tower. Anyway, continued with Quilava and Bugsy suffered a similar fate.

Upon arriving in Goldenrod, I added the next member to my team.

After training Growlithe for a bit, it was time to take on Whitney.

We actually got destroyed the first time as Growlithe had a tough time with her Clefairy, but it was smooth sailing the second time around.
I'm now going to make my way to Ecruteak where I plan on catching a Magmar to be the third addition to my team.

JOURNAL

My sweet, sweet Jumpluff is incredibly weak. ;A; This wasn't a problem until recently. Before, Chamomile was great at defeating teams using a stall method. I'd have her use Sleep Powder, then Leech Seed, then Flash as many times as possible. Now, she can still take a hit but she doesn't last long after that. :/ However, so far all of the boss battles have not been very difficult. I'm waiting for Gina to call and offer me a Leaf Stone so that I can evolve an Oddish I have in the daycare into Vileplume. Mint continues to be awesome, and Rosehip has exceeded my expectations. I thought Rosehip was going to be the weakest link but she's actually quite tough. My only complaints are her lack of moves. Her movepool is very bland in Gen II. I could have taught Rosehip Sludge Bomb when she was a Gloom, but I didn't get that TM until after I had evolved her. u__u I plan to teach her Giga Drain after beating Erika.

I will definitely have some screenshots next time. I can take them (hooray!), but I didn't like the way the ones I have now turned out. :u

jujuju · Apr 22, 2011

Just finished up the fire challenge. I really hate doing Kanto on Gold so I rushed through it pretty quickly. First, I trained Growlithe so that it was at around the same level as the rest of my pokemon and then went through the process of getting the firet stone to evolve it into an Arcanine. I thought I would be destroyed by Red as I had a very tough time with Blue and I lost the first time. However, I realized that the only real problem was his Blastoise so I came up with a strategy to take it down and the rest were easy.

It really just turned into Typhlosion basically soloing the entire battle with a little help from the others, but all's well that ends well.

Blissy's Normal Ultimate Monotype Challenge! - Gold Version
Chapter 17 - Victory Road and the Elite Four!

You might be wondering why my team is higher leveled, and I have the final Johto badge. Well...I went ahead and destroyed Team Rocket, beat Clair, and caught a Seaking as a Waterfall slave. I'm in Kanto now, on Victory Road. No trainers, just a friendly road. But...there's Silver. After his last ownage, I grind some more in Victory Road, heal, and buy tons of Revives and Hyper Potions. Now...Will was a pain by spamming Psychic, but Tuff Puff and MooMoo took him out. Koga wasn't hard. Bruno was the toughest, but I prevailed. Karen...eh...ok. MooMoo learned Body Slam in replacement for Stomp, and now...let's go battle Lance.

To be continued
