Blast! I didn't get the PM 'till today - pesky time zone differences...
If it's a race, maybe we judge the finish by the Play Time as it's shown when the Elite Four is defeated. Then when everyone is finished, we'll see who is the quickest (and second and third and so on). It's just for peeps (like me) who can only put a certain amount of time into it a day and fitting it around other stuff (like studying). So it might be useful to 'stamp' your reports with a starting and finishing time upon saving. What do you think?
I'm going to try and put an hour in each day, more on the weekends.
Playing on: Red
Monotype: Water
Player Name: KIP
Rival Name: BLUE (Yes, I'm using the official name :P)
Starter: Squirtle, nicknamed 'DEAN'
Started: 3/9/08 (or 09/03/08 if you're from the US) 4:54 PM BST (British Summer Time)
: Day 1
It begins!!
STARTING GAME TIME: 0:00
I chose Squirtle as a starter and nicknamed it Dean (not sure why, the name just came to me). Dean went on to a narrow victory against Blue's Bulbasaur. In the first route I trained Dean up to Level 8 by battling wild Pokémon (I never RUN from wilds unless absolutly neccesary - you'll never believe how much extra EXP you get if you never RUN), then did the whole Parcel thing. I couldn't find Blue on Route 28, (maybe I wasn't looking hard enough).
Went on through Route 2 battling more wilds. No problems experienced through Viridian Forest, though weirdly there was absolutly no wild encounters at all (not sure if this was because Dean was at a higher level than expected at that part or a bug in the game).
I arrived at Pewter City and did all the healing and buying of items. I trained Dean up to Level 14 before facing Brock. I took on Brock and won without any damage at all (not even STAT damage), so I'm pretty satisfied with that. Afterwards I proceeded up Route 2, fighting every trainer, and Dean evolved into a Wartortle at Level 16.
I saved the game at the Pokémon Centre just outside Mount Moon. Upon saving, Dean was at Level 18.
FINISHING GAME TIME: 0:44
So there we go. I've also been using a completed FireRed to check on the Pokédex and stuff on locations for other Water types :) .
