  • One of the reasons I love water type monos is that they all can learn surf, which is one of the best moves of their type, and there's infinite of it.

    Also, you're doing it wrong, kingler doesn't know surf right now.

    so, having nothing left to do in cerulean besides beat misty, i beat misty with thor!. it was pretty easy. i went through the underground tunnel thing and caught a meowth named "poos". i proceeded to train poos until it learned pay day, and then i trained it MUCH more. i started to ONLY use poos and his/her pay day to get money to buy a porygon. after beating surge and my rival on the s.s. anne with poos, i went to rock tunnel to continue the story, but i ended up spending some time in the cave.

    funny thing, pay day gives you money equal to twice your level for every hit. pay day is a normal type move and i believe it has a base power of 40, and poos isn't particularly strong, so geodudes and onixes give lots of money. starting at around level 33 or so, i basically money grinded until i was making about 84 pokedollars per hit. now that i'm in celadon, i've realized porygon wasn't made to be...obtainable? 6500 coins?! that costs more than the maximum amount of money possible to have at one time. i really hope porygon's worth it :\

    Team:

    poos/Persian lvl 42
    -Pay Day
    -Scratch
    -Screech
    -Bite

    thor!/Clefairy lvl 38
    -Mega Punch
    -Pound
    -Sing
    -Bubblebeam

    i dropped plague and zeus! because they...suck.

    I know he doesn't know surf. Kingler's special stat is absolutley horrible, so I'm finding it best to use him as a physical attack machine. But he's been left behing in the box for victory road due to the fact that I need one Pkmn with strength, my HM slave... But yeah. No surfs for Kingler lol

  • And done. I leveled Storm up til it learned Ice Beam and then easily beat Erika, who I skipped for a while. Then Giovanni came back to the gym, so I continued training Storm by one hitting all the pokemon in the last gym, including Giovanni. At this point, I had to choose between grinding and just going straight through the elite four with the two underlevelled pokemon I had. Since I'm in like 5 other challenges, I opted for the latter. I sold all the things I had left, and with all the money I had i bought a bunch of revives and full restores. The elite four didn't really put up much of a fight, and I got to Gary rather unharmed. Still nothing to major, other than his Venusaur, which completely destroyed me. I escaped by the skin of Kipper's teeth (something like 13/173 HP) but I did it.

  • Ahh, why not. I think I started a Crystal monotype, but a) my interest in Gen II has died down, and b) I lost my cartridge >_<
    So, yeah.

    I'm going to be weird and choose Bug. Signz meh up, plz.

    So, progress thingy! Yaaay!

    AS OF NOW...
    Named my character PIRANHA and my rival BLOOPER. Yes, I'm a Mario nerd. Mwahaha.

    Got Potion x1, left house, Oak, etcetera.

    TO THE GRASS!
    TO THE LAB!
    ZOMGIES I GOTZ A CHARMANDER!

    Named the Charmander CHAAAAAAAR out of sheer unoriginality.
    Thank god for emulators -- sped right through Route 1, got second Potion from Mart Guy, got CHAAAAAAAR up to Lv.7.

    Reached Viridian -- due to speed-up thingy, I ran into the coffee dude a few times. DAMN YOU COFFEE DUDE!

    To the PokéCentre, then... NEEEEEEOOWW. Sped all the way back down to Route 1 -- got CHAAAAAAAR up to Lv.8.

    Then, I realised I'd forgotten to get the Package.

    NEEEEEEOOWW. ALL the way back up... Package... all the way down... CHAAAAAAAR at Lv.9 now. Gotz mah Pokédex...

    And stopped, as I think the spacebar might fall off now.

    PARTY AS OF NOW:
    CHARMANDER / CHAAAAAAAR (seven A's)

    Lv.9

    Scratch
    Growl
    Ember

    Badges: 0

    =============================

    PART TWOOOOOO

    AS OF NOW...

    Um, not much. Grinding CHAAAAAAAR up to Lv.12, catching Caterpie. Called Caterpie BUG THING out of sheer unoriginality again. Just realised how much of a mistake it was to choose Charmander -- what was I thinking? Misty, Surge and Blaine are going to be tougher than usual...

    Ground Caterpie to Lv.12. BUG THING is now a Butterfree. Will try and get a Weedle if I have the patience... Beedrill will definitely be useful in the future.

    I went to PKMN League HQ. Beat BLOOPER easily. GOD, I love Confusion XD

    Anyway, now I'm off to the woods! Tralalaa, etc etc.

    POKEYMANZ IN PARTY:

    I'm not sure if you know this but as soon as you get your first Pkmn to a respectable level, you need to box your starter. So next time you turn it on, Deposit CHAAAAAAAR in Viridian's box, mkay? Bug Thing should be at a good enough level now. Thanks :)

  • Chapter VI: Route 11, the Lieutenent, Celadon, and some friggen Rocket Ghosts!

    Some more trainers were beaten up, and Vladimir evolved... and Raphael, the Narrator, and the rest of the team responded like this:

    "DDDD8> OH MY GOD WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!"

    They tried to bear with the OMGWTFBBQ factor of Golbat's Blue sprite, but it wasn't easy... Rocktunnel, without flash, proved to be easy, however. Narrator cheated by watching where the walls were and looking at a lit-up map on Serebii.net. Whoo!

    Still, "divine aid" is aid, and Raphael & Co. were thankful to be in Lavender town so they could get another poison-type: Haunter! Samuel was there too, threatening Raphael's team that he'll bury them 6 feet under too, so Raphael set him up the pwn and won.

    ... Only to remember that Silph Co's friggen scope is needed. With a collective huff from Raphael and Narrator, they trudge east towards Celadon... It's like the game knows how much the Narrator REALLY WANTS HAUNTER and is taunting her about it! The lil' rat!

    Upon arriving in Celadon, Raphael learns the horrible fact that Golbat can't learn Fly inspite of being a Flying type as well. Vladimir is kept on the team, however, under the condition that we never have to look at his front sprite ever again. Screw flying anyway; Raphael needs to loose some weight.

    To make a very long story short, Raphael goes down into Team Rocket's base to whoop him some Rockets, does so after running around the mazes for two hours, and Giovanni is beaten for the first time using some well-placed Vine Whips. ONE(1) SLIPH SCOPE GET! :B

    So that means only one thing... OFF TO POKEMON TOWER, WHERE A FLAGSHIP GASTLY IS OBTAINED AFTER WHOOPING SAMUEL'S BUTT! 8D!

    Monotype Challenge-- Red/Blue

    Taunter♂
    •Ghost/Poison
    •Lv. 20
    •Lick, Confuse Ray, Night Shade, Psychic

    We swung by Saffron city to quench thirst, take names, and get a TM 29. ;D

    So after that, Raphael's newly aqquired Gastly begins beating the Heck (quite litterally) out of several channlers, and by the time we reach the top, Team Rocket has to be beaten... again. >:

    During those fights, Raphael & Co. get to go "OMGWTFBBQ?!" at a foe Golbat.

    But then we save Mr. Fuji and gain one(1) Pokeflute! HOORAH!

    And now the team is this:

    Monotype Challenge-- Red/Blue

    Terrathus♂
    •Grass/Poison
    •Lv. 27
    •Vine Whip, Leech Seed, Tackle, Poison Powder

    Monotype Challenge-- Red/Blue

    •Lv. 28
    •Psychic, Hypnosis, Night Shade, Lick

    •Lv. 27
    •Bite, Swift, Razor Wind, Confuse Ray

    Monotype Challenge-- Red/Blue

    Beedra♂
    •Bug/Poison
    •Lv. 29
    •Fury Attack, Twineedle, Poison Sting, Cut

    Monotype Challenge-- Red/Blue

    Thor♂
    •Poison
    •Lv. 27
    •Horn Attack, Tackle, Thunderbolt, Poison Sting

    Monotype Challenge-- Red/Blue

    Freya♀
    •Poison/Ground
    •Lv. 28
    •Horn Drill, Tackle, Poison Sting, Growl

    Badges: 3, Lt. Surge wasn't really all that bad. I think I beat him before Vladimir evolved? xD
