    I was about to sudgest Chikorita myself,because besides Bulbasaur it is my favorite starter,plus I chose Totodile so I can treat you as my Rival ingame.

    IMO besides the E4,Chikorita makes it Easy Modo being Bulky.Well HG/SS wise,I never played II Gen

  • Ok, so here's a new update on my Sapphire run. I'm working on a plot for the comic, may have it ready soon.

    Anyways, after defeating Winona and witnessing the death of my beloved Joe the Kecleon, I kept travelling onward to Lilycove. I stopped at the Safari Zone to see what I could find, and I caught a Phanpy, who I named Dan. Dan would have become a great team member... If he hadn't died to a Gloom that Absorbed him to death (Note: It wouldn't let me run from the battle... >_<). RIP Dan.
    Before arriving at the Safair Zone however, I saw Team Aqua grunts heading towards Mt.Pyre. After quickly grieving about Dan's death, I went there to stop Team Aqua. Before getting to the peak, I encountered a Vulpix. He was immediatly caught and named Victor. I trained him up against multiple trainers and so many Glooms it wasn't even funny, and then picked up a Fire Stone in the Fiery Path. Victor had become a full fledged member of the team.
    I decided to test Victor out on the Aqua Grunts standing in my way. To my surpise, he did exceedingly well even against the water types. I was too late, however - Team Aqua had gotten away with the Reb Orb and was heading towards Slateport! I grabbed the Blue Orb and set out to stop them.
    Once again, I was too late - Archie and one of his goons had already taken the submarine. But they very stupidly told me the location of their hideout. I obviously headed over to Lilycove as soon as I could (Which was like in 2 seconds) and then entered the hideout.
    It was actually a lot easier than I remember, probably because I actually took the right teleporters for once. Andy destroyed every single one of those grunts fairly easily. I have to say, Grass and Rock isn't the best offensive combination of moves, but it has pretty good coverage, only failing to other Grass types. I did however miss out on getting the Master Ball. Whatever, it'll still be there later on... Right?
    Anyways, I travelled on, and reached Mosdeep. I headed back over to Lilycove and caught a Wailmer using my new Super Rod. Wailmer, named Bertha, was to be my HM Slave for these watery routes. I also went to Shoal Cave and caught a Spheal, who I nicknamed Shelly. Currently, I am grinding Shelly.

    I'll be nice, and kill your Geodude instead of your Totodile. Hoothoot escaped death because of it's cool nickname. Anyway, I just beat Falkner. Which one of my team are you gonna kill?

    Chikobro-Chikorita M-LV10-Razor Leaf, Tackle, Growl
    Ratasis- Rattata F- LV9- Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack
    Ratabro-Rattata M- LV9- Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack

    Dead Pokemon:
    Geobro the Geodude-Died to a trained LV3 Bellsprout
    YA RLYsis the Hoothoot-Died to a wild Rattata

    Say your prayers Ratabro TopPercent will be the only Male Ratatta Alive.

    Oh and your not allowed to kill someones Starter.Everything else is fair game though.

    My challenge is post poned because Im at my grandmom's and I was playing a ROM Silver.And the Computer is at home.

    I will continue Monday though.

  • Alright, new update time.

    I grinded my new teammate, Shelly, up to about Level 44 so she was a Walrein. I also visited Pacifidlog Town, where I taught Return to Earl. I grinded everyone else up to level 44, and entered the Seafloor Cavern. All the grunts were defeated easily by Bruno, who can wipe out a Carvahna with one Arm Thrust hit (Fraility FTW?). Then came Archie, who I tested Shelly's new form out on. I have to say - Walreins own Archie's team. Surf was a 1HKO on Mightyena, Ice Beam was a 1HKO on Crobat, and I simply Body Slammed Sharpedo to death while it struggled to do damage.
    After the battle, Kyogre obviously escaped. I flew to Sootopolis, which I had visited earlier, and met up with Steven and Wallace. From there, I entered the Cave of Origin.
    Kyogre was no match for a duo of Andy and Shelly. Shelly weakened it to the point that it had about half its HP left. Then, Andy came in and Leaf Bladed it. I nearly laughed at how much EXP a legendary sea monster gave out - 1400. Even Gabby and Ty's Pokemon give out more than that each.
    After beating Kyogre, I entered the Sootopolis gym. Together with Andy, I was unstoppable. Nobody, even Wallace, stood a chance against Andy's high powered Leaf Blades. After nabbing my badge, I surfed to Ever Grande City, and entered Victory Road. Once there, I caught a Medicham, who I named Gary. Because Gary's Hi-Jump-Kicks did a lot of damage to my team, I exited that place and started to grind my team up to a better level (Level 45 is... Eh...). Currently, I am still grinding.

    Team:

    Andy - Sceptile Lv.46 - Leaf Blade,Hidden Power (Rock), Quick Attack, Agility
    Gary - Medicham Lv.45 - Mind Reader, Brick Break, Hi Jump Kick, Shadow Ball
    Bruno - Hariyama Lv.46 - Fake Out, Strength, Vital Throw, Earthquake
    Shelly - Walrein Lv.46 - Surf, Ice Beam, Body Slam, Aurora Beam
    Earl - Swellow Lv.45 - Aerial Ace, Fly, Secret Power, Return
    Victor - Ninetales Lv.45 - Hidden Power (Ice), Confuse Ray, Overheat, Flamethrower

    Box:

    Greg - Numel lv.17
    Derp - Castform Lv.25
    George - Zigzagoon Lv.3
    Bertha - Wailmer Lv.25


    Dead:

    Dan - Phanpy Lv.29-29 - Died to a Gloom that I couldn't run from
    Joe - Kecleon Lv.30-34 - Died to Winona's Altaria
    Clair - Trapinch Lv.20-21 - Died to an opposing Trapinch during grinding


    I have to say, I've been lucky during this run. Only three of my Pokemon have died... But all goood things have to come to an end. I'm expecting a couple of my current main fighters to die in the E4 challenge.

  • Jeez, now I want to do an Ultimate challenge because this challenge is so fun, but the problem is I already started on Sapphire and Heartgold...

    If I did an ultimate, would I be able to include both runs in it? Probably not, I'm guessing, but could I still? If I can't, I'll gladly just do a normal Ultimate after finishing Sapphire and Heartgold.
