Sign me and my Cyndaquil (only nicknamed to lowercase letters other than C) up for the challenge. At first I planned to evolve after Bugsy, but now I've decided to let him stay a Cyndaquil. This will all be done in HG.
Progress:
Beginning's pretty standard...Got Cyndaquil, went to Mr. Pokemon's house, blah, blah, blah. At Violet, we pretty much blew through Sprout Tower and the gym. Caught a Rattata to use for HMs, though he usually resides in the PC. Also picked up a Mareep for double battling purposes. Sadly for him, though, he just sits there. Near Union Cave, I got a Shell Bell for Cyndaquil to hold. Next up was Slowpoke Well and Bugsy, neither of which put up too much of a fight. After resting at the Center, we went and took on the rival. Opposing starter took a while, since I started by Smokescreening a few times. We then cut through Ilex Forest as fast as possible (pausing at the Kimono girl, who I refused to help, but Cyndaquil did anyway), which took us to Goldenrod, where I spent way too long messing around with Voltorb Flip. I finally managed to pull away, so that I could get the Radio Card and challenge Whitney. Took two tries to beat her. The first time, I had to quit the game because I had somewhere to go. Second time, I got lucky and she didn't use Miltank's Attract as soon as it came out, so I managed to Smokescreen a few times before Cyndaquil fell in love. Took a while, too, since Miltank kept Milk Drinking. Anyway, after that ordeal, the two of us got the SquirtBottle and headed north. Picked up the mail-Spearow at the gate.
Our next stop was the National Park, where Cyndaquil was my partner in the Bug Catching Contest. Couldn't really attack without knocking out the bugs, so I was stuck chucking balls at random Pokemon. Got lucky again and found a Beedrill, which took 10 balls, but I finally caught it. Said Beedrill beat out a Kakuna (3rd) and Weedle (2nd) for 1st and got me a Sun Stone. Backtracking a bit, I headed to the southern Park gate and headed for the Pokéathlon dome, where "my" Pokémon went through the Speed course twice. First try: Cyndaquil, Beedrill, and Spearow took third overall. Second try: Cyndaquil, Spearow, and Rattata took first overall, with Cyndaquil winning an individual award (can't remember which one.) Current Time: 8 hrs, 37 mins.
