Technically that doesn't count :/ You aren't allowed your HM slaves in battles :(

I didn't use them, I promise. I didnt even use cloyster! You can clearly see my Lapras was my first pokemon out and it was my last in the picture.

EDIT: And the cave was dark, I needed flash so that's why I had Hm slaves with me.

 

[GoldenBagon]

[syphilis]

i did a lot and i don't remember much of the beginning, but:

picked totodile

beat rival for the first time

- Wandered up to Ecruteak, defeated trainers on the way.
- Sat through the scene with Bill, then deposited Sudowoodo in the PC.
- Caught a Tauros. Level 13 Male. (Also, Tauros has a terrible backsprite. It's like he's a hunchback. >.> )
- Decided to level everyone up a bit to even things out. (Teddiursa = lvl 25, everyone else was at 20 or less. :< i'm neglectful.)
(Quit and started again around 6pm.)

Team so far:

 

[noobles]

Ill do fighting on Gold

But seeing how you can't really get any fighting types before Mt. Moatar can I wait till then till catch my pokes or do I have to do it before Ilex forest because the only ones you can get before ilex are Heracross and its his secondary type? I am fine fine with having a team of heracrosses but that really wouldn't be a fighting team :

I beat red with one level 65 lapras, he's not that hard.

red wouldn't be hard if he didn't have a charizard. flamethrower is what killed me. over and over again.

 

[KadabraK]

red wouldn't be hard if he didn't have a charizard. flamethrower is what killed me. over and over again.

Idk if this helps, but early on maybe load ledian with X-Attack, and try to get in a thunderpunch on Charizard, you might be able to do it like that, just a suggestion.

T-punch in R/B/Y/G/S/C is a special attack, no go.

 

[~SilverSoul]

flying, please. I'm playing on crystal.

 

[KadabraK]

T-punch in R/B/Y/G/S/C is a special attack, no go.
