When Charles was defeated, I proceeded to Driftveil City. After talking around, I went to the Plasma house and received a Zorua, which was PC'd soon after. I also received an Everstone from one of the citizens, which will be handy once I catch a Drifloon. After that, I did some training on Route 6 and battled every Trainer that I could find. Soon after, I remembered that I received a Sun Stone in Nimbasa City, so I used it on my Cottonee and got a Whimsicott in return. Next up was Clay's Gym, which was slightly challenging, but after spamming a few Flash attacks on Excadrill, victory was mine. Upon exiting the Gym, I was met by Clay and Hugh. After their whole conversation, I went to participate in the Driftveil Tournament and snagged an easy victory. My next stop was the drawbridge so I could catch a Ducklett that could use Surf. Currently I'm on Route 6, with the next stop being Mistralton Cave.

Even making a team for this was annoying, so I will just use a Bulbasaur and Butterfree until I get to Mt. Moon where I will get Paras!

Ima sign up as soon as I figure out my team. Just want to clear something up about the Plushie.

No...it says you can pick from my plushies, but you have to keep what you pick in its first stage.

Didn't think I could make it clearer. :x
So we can use Umbreon, but not Charizard, right? Plushies that are evolved can be used?

edit: got it, never mind. Plushies are always first stage, even if you have evolved forms. I got confused since someone had a Togetic as their Alabamian.

edit2: Does Pikachu count as the "unevolved" form post Gen I? Pichu is technically the first form, although it's a baby Pokemon.

Yes, plushies must stay the first form of the line. So you see an Umbreon in the picture which means that Eevee is an option. Keep in mind, I just grabbed a picture to use for reference. I didn't take that picture recently or for this challenge, and I thought it'd be better to post that than just list everything. It's cuter than a list.

Baby Pokemon do not have to be used, but only if they're in a line with three stages. So if your game has Pichu, you can use Pikachu instead. You could use Pichu if you really wanted, but I'll allow Pikachu. The same will apply for using Togetic instead of Togepi, but only in games that include Togekiss (gen IV and V in that case. Gen II and III players will have to stick with Togepi if they choose that.. Mantyke will have to stay Mantyke if that's chosen though, because it's only a two stage line. That make sense, everyone?

Also sorry I haven't updated the list. This is a really busy month for me, and I will get around to it in my free time before the really busy stuff happens!

And again...

Immediately traded in Slick the Vulpix. My paw paw's nickname was Slick, so I thought it was appropriate for this Pokemon since I mainly chose it because I watched foxes with my paw paw. Caught him up pretty quickly, got them both to level 18, and went head first into Roxie's gym with no trouble! Now we have to go do Pokestar though. So this is gonna suck. :(

Could Medicham qualify as a uniform Pokemon, seems like that one could work:

Or is it not white enough? Just a suggestion.

If I do FireRed: Generations I will do another signup.

I didn't make that list of Pokemon, but I consider Medicham to be grey and pink, so I don't think that'd count I'm afraid. :( Sorry.

Update #1 on Expert Emerald.

Name: Jd
Rival: May
Starter: Mudkip

  • Started the game by picking Mudkip, and after I got Pokéballs, I caught Alabama the Hoppip on Route 103.
  • Went through Petalburg and met Wally, then went though Petalburg Forest.
  • After we reached Rustboro City, Alabama evolved into Skiploom!
  • Challenged Roxanne and Alabama soloed her easily with Razor Leaf and Absorb.
  • Moved on to Dewford Town after visiting Devon Corp and got the Old Rod, which I used to catch Marcher the Krabby there.
  • Also caught Gridiron the Cubone in Granite Cave, and trained them both on some trainers I skipped around Rustboro.
  • Went to Slateport as well to fight all the trainers there, then headed back to take on Brawly.
  • After I was able to finally take down Heracross with Alabama's Leech Seed + Return, he was defeated.
  • Went back to Slateport and went through Route 110, where I defeated May, and Alabama evolved into Jumpluff!
  • Arrived in Mauville City, and after defeating most of the trainers around the city, Gridiron evolved into Marowak!
  • Took on the gym, and Gridiron was able to easily defeat Wattson with Bonemerang, although Alabama had to Leech Seed Magneton, who has the Levitate ability in this hack.
  • Went up to Route 111 and fished up Tuskie the Spheal, and starting training her on the rest of the trainers.
  • While doing so, Marcher evolved into Kingler!
  • I am saved on Route 111.

After catching Aron and Axew in Mistralton Cave, I repeled my way through Chargestone Cave. Once I finally reached Mistralton City, I found myself talking to Professor Juniper. Skyla introduced herself during our conversation and Juniper went off to the Celestial Tower. On my way to the tower, I caught a Zangoose. I received the wonderful Lucky Egg once I caught up with Juniper in the tower. After doing some level grinding on Route 7, I evolved my Aron and Axew and challenged Skyla's Gym. With the help of Fraxure's Rock Tomb, I easily defeated Swoobat. Swanna wasn't too hard but it did knock out Fraxure. Skarmory was the stongest foe, knocking out everyone but Lairon.

Next Up: Celestial Tower and Lentimas Town​

Hope everyone's having fun! Just posting to say that if you didn't originally sign up for the raffle, but change your mind or obtain the means to join the raffle, feel free to VM me with your FC so that I can note it in the first post. :) Which...I need to update a lot, haha. Sorry guys. I have a math final tomorrow so most of my day will be spent studying. :P

Good luck with your final!

I'm worried about my Crystal game. Its kind of lagging, especially when Bubblebeam is used. It also crashed once today and had a few minor graphical glitches. I hope I can finish the run D:

I managed to play until the radio tower part, which is where I saved.

The team (all at level 31):

Eevee (Planning to evolve to Umbreon)
-Headbutt
-Quick Attack
-Iron Tail
-Bite

Togetic (<3)
-Fly
-Headbutt
-Metronome
-Sweet Kiss

Sudowoodo
-Rock Slide
-Low Kick
-Dynamicpunch
-Mimic

Kingler
-Strenght
-Surf
-Fury Cutter
-Guillotine

Cyndaquil (Who is pretty good still!)
-Flame Wheel
-Cut
-Rollout
-Dig

After the radio tower I'll catch a Swinub to round of my team!

I've literally fought a 1vs1 between Whitney's Miltank and Togepi, which took more than an hour to finish. I did win after all this time though! :D

Didn't take long to find Alli the Petilil and catch her up with the rest of the team. Though since I couldn't use her at all in the gym, Neeko and Slick are ahead of her again lol. Oh well. Easy fix! On to the next city. No clue when I'm gonna trade in my Aerodactyl and Phanpy tbh. I might trade in Phanpy soon and Aerodactly after Clay. We'll see.
