Okay, started my game on HeartGold.
- Named self Zane, rival Wes.
- Picked Cyndaquil, went through the Mr. Pokemon quest.
- Hacked in a Voltorb at L3. Bashful Nature, named it Boomer.
- Boomer learned Sonicboom at L9, one of the moves it must always know.
- Beat Sprout Tower easily with Sonicboom and got Flash.
- Challenged Faulkner and took him down with Spark and Sonicboom.
- Down south, caught a Wooper named Doc and gave it Flash and Rock Smash.
- Sonicboom really helped with those Hikers in Union Cave.
- In Azalea, I kicked TR out of the Well and beat Wes handily (No Curse, thank God).
- Boomer had learned Rollout so Bugsy was taken care of with all five of em (Scyther went down to the first 2).
- Got Cut in the forest and taught it to Cyndaquil.
- Taught Headbutt to Boomer.
- Reached Goldenrod and went north to catch the rest of my team.
- Up by the National Park, I caught a Nidoran♂ named HornKing on Rt. 35 and a Stantler named Vincent on Rt 36.
- Entered the Bug-Catching contest with Boomer and found a Scyther. Had to reset the game quite a few times before I got an Adamant-natured one (as per the challenge). Named him Excalibur.
- I am currently training Excalibur up so I can face Whitney, although I may try to get Vincent up instead.
