  • Next update!

    I caught myself a Wingull, grinded it up and challenged the rock gym! I easily won, with Wingulls Water gun and a few Bites from Poochyena. Then I helped the old man to get back Peeko, was not challenge at all. I recheived my Pokenav and continued my adventure to Dewford town. I brought Steven the letter and I challenged the fighting gym! Wingull soloed all trainers AND the gym leader. I took the boat the Slateport city, earned some exp on the beach and went to catch myself an Oddish :D Now grinding up oddish.

    Team:
    Oddish level 15
    Bullet Seed
    Absorb
    Poisonpowder
    Sweet Scent

    Mightyena lvl 18

    Sand-Attack

    Wingull level 18
    Water Gun
    Supersonic

  • Well, I guess I'll be doing Soul Silver again beacuse I jusr re-read the rules and found out you can't use HG -_-' Same team, but if I can't get a Poliwag in SS, then replace Politoed with Xatu.

  • So haven't got much done, but here we go

    Started on Ruby version, named myself Jesus because a lord and savior was born this holiday (not really that's some pagan shenanigans but w/e)

    Anyway got a Torchic since all starters are on the table

    Syddy Claus' Challenge


    I named it Fish, because

    in the Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer animated special there was a bird fish
    he was a misfit toy

    I got the stupid Seedot because I don't like Nuzleaf and all that stuff. They are ugly and gross. So it's an unwanted present. I named it Keurig cause last year for X-mas while my sister got awesome presents I got a stupid Keurig coffee maker that I didn't want
    Syddy Claus' Challenge


    So we beat the first gym yada yada yada

    and so my journey continues

    Ahh been somewhat busy with other things recently, but finally got round to clearing this today!

    Final Update!
    Okay first off, Abomasnow SUCKS. I don't know if it's because I happened to get a bad IV'd one, but it has a neutral nature so I'm sure it shouldn't be THIS bad! Anyhow, I cleared Victory Road and gained a couple levels in the process then finally managed to get through it after getting lost twice (I HATE THAT PLACE!). It was pretty easy fighting off everything in Victory Road, but navigation was difficult to say the least. Once I got to the league, I stocked up on loadsss of heals etc and then rushed in! BUT WAIT, WHAT'S THIS? Hi Barry! Basically I kicked Barry's butt soooo hard due to being completely over leveled, so then I healed up and went in to the league! Aron was exceedingly easy due to Infernape, he pretty much swept the whole team with a lil' help from Zangoose. Bertha was even easier, Carnivine (whom turned out to be surprisingly good throughout the game btw!) and Floatzel beat her into the ground hard (Abomasnow died against her btw. A Grass and Ice type died against Bertha. Just saying yo.)! Flint was a tiny bit harder due to only having a somewhat weak Floatzel to fight him effectively, but he went down without too much trouble (ABOMASNOW WHY YOU NO HELP SO FAR!). Lucian was then pretty easy due to Drifblim, he managed to take down the whole team bar Bronzong whom had to be taken out by Zangoose. Then came Cynthia, ohhh I love you Cynthia. This was finally Abomasnow's time to shine! It actually managed to knock out her strongest Pokemon! (Just ignore the x4 effectiveness from Ice and it sounds more impressive k.) Then the rest of her team was easily taken down with a whole team effort, mainly due to Drifblim. <333 Then basically I partied whilst the credits rolled and finished! Hooray!

    Final Team
    Carnivine - Lv 63 - Quick Claw
    Zangoose - Lv 65 - Stardust
    Drifblim - Lv 64 - Chesto Berry
    Floatzel - Lv 64 - Honey
    Infernape - Lv 63 - Nugget
    Abomasnow - Lv 59 - Lucky Egg

    Nice to have finally finished, time to go round me up some nubby legendaries to use as trade bait! I was especially pleased to use Carnivine and Zangoose throughout this challenge as they turned out surprisingly good, however Abomasnow ruined this by being a HUGE disappointment! The other three were just as I expected they'd be, so all in all this was a rather enjoyable challenge indeed! AOC signing off~

    Piloswine, female, lv.48, quick claw
    -Attacks: Icy wind, headbutt, mist, strength
    -Notes: Ice, obt. lv.21, Ice Path floor1; Defeated Blackthorn gym (Solo)
    --
    Togepi, male
    Bellsprout, male
    Paras, female, tinymushroom
    Sudowoodo, male
    Gyarados*, male, [RED]
    Golduck, male, [HM]
    Oriqua, Remoraid, female
    --

    Again, future sight/fly is a wonderful combination and should never be underestimated.
    Anyway, progressing along we got a call, then proceeded to beat up more Team Rocket members. Then met that guy who took the cyndaquil again... and beat him again. You'd think he'd get the message eventually. He seems to have STARTED, and it only took him HOW LONG?
    Tore through the TR members, then set TError on their leader for a bit of payback.
    After that, we found Ice Cave, shoved some boulders around, spent entirely too long looking for a female swinub that used endure, then set to training the girl up to the same level as the others. Give her a nevermeltice
    She evolved and leveled, took out every person in the Blackthorn gym except Claire... then we realised that she has a kingdra, it is rather fast, has surf, and Matrondi has relatively bad SPDef and is weak to water, and also her only ice attack isn't very strong. Preperation is needed.
    Icy wind takes the place of powdersnow for increased damage. More training. Strength replaces fury attack for power and accuracy. Kingdra is still much higher in speed- Matrondi is slower than all the others in the team by a long way. Give Roy pink bow, give quick claw to Matrondi to replace nevermeltice.
    Dragonairs? No problem. Kingdra? HOLY... How did she manage to crit each and every strength launched at the kingdra? How did the quick claw manage to get her first attack EVERY TIME? HOW? Great scot.
    She won. Somehow... SOMEHOW she won.

    I have quick question. If we want to play through the E4, can we still post updates after the 5th badge? And do we have to have all 6 team members before the 5th gym if we're beating the E4, or can they just be before the E4?
