  • Hey guys ... i got through the whole Johto region (i just smashed Lance) with only my starter ... totodile :]

    I wanted to ask you if you have ever done such a thing ... did you enjoy the adventure? If you did give your thoughts here :]
    And remember to tell the name of the pokemon you used :P

    PS: Of course i had some pokemons for HM moves ... but i never used them unless there was a double battle xD

    I did that with Togepi (who for the most of it was Togetic) that I got from that egg in Violet City... I was a little disappointed because it got a little too strong so no one was really that much of a challenge at all :/

    I always do it with a Furret or some sorry crap like that. Makes the game more fun IMO.

    If you can get your Feraligatr Swords Dance, you can easily sweep the game. I haven't really done this myself, I prefer to use a whole team at a low level to beat the game. Not sure how low I'll be able to stay this time but hopefully it will be somewhat of a challenge (probably won't).

    Did it twice in crystal once with totodile and once with typhlosion. Seriously, the games are easier if you concentrate on just one pokemon, only the chance of getting defeated is bigger .. >.>; I mean come on my feraligatr was lv 75 when I finnally got to Pyce. Seriously, you rush throughout the game if you take only one pokemon with you.. :l

  • I have never not completed a Pokemon game this way. I actually have specific starters that I use in each generation; I only use Bulbasaur in 1st generation, Totodile in 2nd, Mudkip in 3rd, and Chimchar in 4th.

    I always picked fire, just because they were the coolest of the three in my opinion :x every game I started with fire (except for pearl where I first started with piplup then I resetted the game and redid it with chimchar..)

  • I only did a One-Pokémon-Play through with Silver & Crystal and that was both with Feraligatr. I found the game relatively easy with the low level Gyms and Elite members, but I didn't enjoy it as much personally. I have always preferred training an entire in-game team to use, so this time around unlike Crystal I'll be using a full team of six, or at least five for the game in SoulSilver.

  • I remember completing Silver on one save using only quagsire! It knew Hydro Pump, Eathquake, Body Slam and Surf! I still bet red at mount silver (though I was almost pwned by his venusaur).

  • I haven't done that on HGSS before. When it comes out in English I'm going to do it with a Meganium.

    When I first played Gold that's pretty much what I did with my starter Typhlosion, except I had 5 other pokemon in my party just so that I could use revives whenever my main fighter fainted. Nowadays, I try to balance things out, though.
