    Died to first trainer,
    Caught zubat,
    Trained all to lvl ten,
    Trained zubat up a bit more,
    TRASHED falkner,
    caught ekans,
    Beat all trainers below violet,

  • since no one else seems to be doing it, ill will do ghost on gold which might as well be a ghastly family challenge. so am I allowed to trade a misdreavus egg into the game?

    ill remember to update as often as possible and sorry about no banner, there appears to be no ghost type one

    Sign me up for this! I'll do possibly the hardest challenge: Dark! (because I don't get even Umbreon until I have three badges)

    Fun times

    Oh, this'll be on crystal to make sneasel possible to catch before the run is over... too bad I can't get Tyranitar really

    As an update...

    My party so far:

    Umbreon level 36
    Faint Attack
    Headbutt
    Confuse Ray
    Sand Attack

    And three HM slaves: Quilava (cut, strength), Hoothoot(fly), and Staryu (surf)

  • I was playing Water in Crystal, but my savestate got deleted because my computer got unplugged and I just don't know what happened :(
    Please take me off the list. (I wasn't even on it I think xD)

    I might sign up later for Electric. Maybe ;)
