This Journey - with screenshots:

Spoiler:

continuing from my previous adventure - arrived at Ambrette Town - first thing is to visit that Fossil Lab! So sad that none of my assign team comes from fossils so I had to skip it - that Dragonite skull looks awesome, I should ask the professor if I can buy it.

Spoiler:

After a bit of exploring Ambrette Town, I found out I need to visit Glitter Cave next, so off I go... that Rhyhorn looks scary to ride. Caught a few Pokemon along the way... annoying at such a bumpy ride

Spoiler:

Hmm, so this is Glittering Cave, looks kind of scary inside! Glad my Pokemon are my companions, otherwise I wouldn't go in

Spoiler:

Who is this weird guy dressed in Orange? - Team Flare? - aren't they the bad guys! I better stop them

Spoiler:

Taking down 2 grunts, were stopped by two more wanting a fight, hey Calem, How's it going? - a team battle? sure, I'm ready.... hope those grunts are

Spoiler:

Lorraine, I choose you!! Good Luck Lorraine! Good Luck to you to Calem!

Spoiler:

Team Flare was nothing - time to rescue the Professor

Spoiler:

I choose the Sail Fossil!!

Amaura! Welcome to the Team, hope you don't mind resting in the PC for most of the game.

Spoiler:

Time for a quick tour of the Aquarium - along the way I couldn't resist and play with that cute Espurr!

Spoiler:

Continuing my journey across the Beach along Route 8 - a few trainers to battle, a few items to find, relaxing... knowing that a Gym Battle lies ahead - I would never imagined the nightmare that would come!

Spoiler:

Cyllage City Welcomes You! Enjoy Your Stay!

Spoiler:

A Free Bike!! I'll take the green one, thank you!!

Spoiler:

Greetings Grant, she gives me the HM Strength, George will really need it to evolve, that Water Stone is trapped behind a boulder

Spoiler:

Posing with Grant before the Gym Battle

Spoiler:

Grant! I'm Ready for my Next Badge!! Good Luck George and Xylina!

Spoiler:

Battle:
• George vs Amaura - I'm surprised that George was taken down!! Lost

Spoiler:

• Xylina vs Amaura - won! One down, one to go! Amaura had to use Thunder Wave!!
• Xylina vs Tyrunt - I'm saddened!! We Lost the Gym Match!! Lost

Spoiler:

And to my Horror!! We lost the next 2 matches in a row!!! I Hate Thunder Wave!!

Spoiler:

Grant, Cyllage City - round 2
in party: George an Xylina
• Xylina vs Amaura - won
• George vs Tyrunt - lost mostly to paralysis

Obtained Cliff Badge from Grant - after 4 Tries!! I was Shocked!

Spoiler:

Now that I can use Strength, time to get that Stone, so I had to return back to Route 8 to get it, along the way I caught Drifloon too!

Spoiler:

To be honest, I'm growing attached to Panpour, didn't want to make him evolve, but part of my challenge is Simipour... so had to make that decision (broke my heart at the moment)

Spoiler:

by the way, that white wire is my 3DS charging cable

George evolved to Simipour

Spoiler:

That's it for now!! Thanks for reading, and checking out the images... documenting my journey across Kalos - a lot more to come!

Finally, my team at the moment:

Spoiler:

Polly, the male Pidgey

Spoiler:

Francine, the female Ledian

Spoiler:

Xylina, the female Aron

Spoiler:

Lorraine, the female Croagunk

Spoiler:

George, the male Simipour

Spoiler:

Fox, the shiny female Fennekin

Spoiler:

 

[pleryt17]

So, I finished my Black 2 Challenge. I'm sorry I didn't post any updates throughout, but to be honest, I kinda forgot it was for a challenge.

My Final Team:

Spoiler:

Bitey, the Naughty Crobat
Level 60
Moves:
Fly, Confuse Ray, Cross Poison, Bite
Easily the MVP of my team, with sweeping the third gym as a Golbat and sweeping the Fourth Gym as a Golbat holding the Eviolite. He got the final blow on all of the Elite Four and swept all of Iris. I've used him before, but never has he been so dang useful.

Showers, the Quirky Vaporeon
Level 60
Moves:
Hydro Pump, Surf, Ice Beam, Shadow Ball
As my favorite Pokemon, I knew how this guy would do. And he did better than I thought he would. As an Eevee, he wasn't very good, but once this guy evolved, he swept anything in his path. He is the only Pokemon on my team that didn't faint once, as he was unkillable.

Sakura, the Calm Gothitelle
Level 59
Moves:
Thunderbolt, Psyshock, Psychic, Shadow Ball
I had high hopes for Sakura, but she evolved late which made her useless until she evolved. She did descent against the Elite Four, taking out some of Caitlin and Shauntal's Pokemon. She was also able to take out Iris' Skarmory and Lapras.

Sanka, the Brave Seviper
Level 57
Moves:
Coil, Poison Jab, Crunch, Dragon Tail
When I saw Sanka's attack stat, I was in awe. It was super high, but as the game went on, Sanka wasn't able to do much of anything. She was very slow and fragile, and always got critted on. I wish I could've made her better, but she was much too slow.

Zangief, the Gentle Zangoose
Level 60
Moves:
Shadow Claw, Close Combat, X-Scissor, and Return
Zangief is one of the best Pokemon I have ever used, and is now on my favorite Pokemon list. He is just so so fast and so hard hitting, he was a close second for MVP. He was able to take out most Pokemon with just one hit, and Close Combat was very valuable against Iris' Hydreigon, who could have easily swept my team, and Close Combat also one-shotted the Black Kyurem with a crit. Also, hooray for generic nicknames!

Dayman, the Mild Altaria
Level 60
Moves:
Flamethrower, Aerial Ace, Dragon Dance, Dragon Pulse
I had high expectations for a Pokemon that was about to get a mega-evolution, and I was kinda let down by her move pull. She learns mostly special moves, although her attack stat is much higher. She was a good Pokemon, but not as good as I expected.​

So I had a TON of fun doing this challenge, and I'd like to do it again. I hope I'll remember to post updates next time.

Signup:
Name: pleryt17
Game: Pokemon X
Number of Pokemon: 6

Can I get a reroll on Slurpuff, and can it be able to learn fly? I can't trade. But all the others are fine.

My Update:

Have 6 badges, Currently in Team Aqua hideout outside of Lilycove City

My Team:

Spoiler:

Sorciere the Careful Gardevoir
Lv 36
Female
Toxic, Shadow Ball, Secret Power, Psychic
Ralts and Kirlia were a major pain to train because of how fragile they are, but the end result of Gardevoir was well worth it.


E Honda the Bold Hariyama
Lv 36
Male
Smelling Salt, Focus Energy, Vital Throw, Arm Thrust
As Sorciere, E Honda was also a bit harder to train due to Makahita's lack in speed, but E Honda does play a strong role on my team


Gem Goblin the Gentle Sableye
Lv 36
Female
Astonish, Aerial Ace, Faint Attack, Night Shade
Gem Goblin although her stats are pretty low was one of my most helpful pokemon, she destroyed Brawly on her own, and played a major role in defeating Winona's Altaria by knowing confuse ray and rock tomb at the time after my Minun paralyzed it.


Slasher the Rash Slaking
Lv 36
Female
Slash, Strength, Swagger, Slack Off
When there is one pokemon that is a major pain in the ass to train, its Slakoth. The truant ability and slow leveling up was harsh. And to add it all up, I get this pokemon later than I should have, not knowing where to get a slakoth I almost defeat Team Magma in Slateport before realizing they are only obtainable in Petalburg Woods. But with the difficult time with the training, she has been the best turn out with being a powerhouse with 128 attack.


Blue Pika the Modest Minun
Lv 37
Male
Quick Attack, Thunder Wave, Thunder, Thunderbolt
Blue Pika, well this pokemon has a late start in learning a special attack move even though its a special attacker. Although Minun is never one of my choices now for my Emerald team. It does bring nostalgia for when I first bought Ruby I would always catch a Minun.


Cruella the Impish Tentacruel
Lv 36
Female
Surf, Sludge Bomb, Bubblebeam, Wrap
Cruella the pokemon I caught really late in the game, I caught her after getting surf, has been a really great asset to my team. I have never used a Tentacruel before, (Tentacool are the Zubat of the sea and I hated them lol) but I now regret that decision she is a special defense powerhouse. She still hasn't been around for too long so I'd like to see how she is in the future.​

Sigilyph - Samurott - Unfeazant - Leaveanny - Krookodile - Ampharos

I'm kind of terrible at coming up with teams

If I have it: Faint it or it faints my team - no running away or moves that end wild battles

Pokemon Evolved: 1 - Xylina - Aron to Lairon

Journey: Cyllage City - Route 10 - Reflection Cave - Shalour City

Spoiler:

Battles Lost - this journey: 1
• Reflection Cave - against Battle Girl Hedvig and her Throh, & Hawlucha

SCREENSHOTS:

After winning the Cliff Badge from Grant in Cyllage City - decided to celebrate by doing 10 laps around the Cycling Course! So much fun.

Spoiler:

Before leaving, I had to check out the spectacular view of Route 10 from the top of Cyllage City! That view is so beautiful, had to pose in front of it

Spoiler:

Now, onto Route 10

Now, continue the journey along Route 10! One thing I just noticed, that this route is called Menhir Trail and Menhir is one of my favorite bands from Germany!!

Spoiler:

Cruising around with the bicycle, battling trainers, catching wild Pokemon - and then!! - Team Flare shows up again!!

Spoiler:

Arrived at Geosenge Town! Did some exploring, got another Everstone - so once Xylina evolves she has her Everstone

Spoiler:

Just before leaving Geosenge Town - Korrina and her beautiful Lucarios show up for an unexpected battle! A bit of practice before the gym battle! Bring It On Korrina! Lucario! Polly took care of both Lucarios.

Spoiler:

Ahhh! Reflection Cave! It all that separates me from another badge! Caught lots of Pokemon - did lots of trainer battle! Leveling up Pokemon before the gym battle with Korrina

Spoiler:

- and had to experince my second loss to a trainer! To a trainer named Hedvig

I promised myself before leaving an area, I would explore everything in the area, obtain as many items as I can, catch Pokemon I don't have, and most importantly for me challenge every trainer, So after loosing to Hedvig, I had to rechallenge her. I won on round 2 - I promised myself: in trainer battles no items, potions, or berries (I could have won on the first try if I used my items - it's part of my challenge to make the game a little harder than normal)

Spoiler:

after that, left Reflection Cave

after challenging Honeymooners Yuu and Ami and their Combee and Vespiquen, Xylina Evolves!!

Spoiler:

part of my challenge is Lairon - so after evolving she gets her Everstone that I received in Geosenge Town.

after exiting the cave....
Welcome to Shalour City!
My most favorite city in Kalos!!
Naturally, time to explore! talk to everyone in town.

Spoiler:

What?!! Korrina is not at the gym? - that sucks, wanted that badge. Oh well, let's visit Shalour City's famous landmark.

Spoiler:

Made it - Tower of Mastery - such a great looking place, love that statue of Mega Lucario

Spoiler:

Greetings Calem! Did you came here to learn about Mega Evolution - only one Mega Stone? - I wouldn't mind giving it to Calem, none of the members of my team can Mega Evolve (since Aggron is not part of my challenge) - oh well, Calem wants to battle for it - makes great practice before the gym

Spoiler:

For those that want to know: Battle vs Calem:
Calem - Shalour City - Tower of Mastery
• Lorraine vs Meowstic (Male) - switched for George
• George vs Meowstic (Male) - won (sorry there Meowstic, hope you can forgive me)
• Lorraine vs Absol - won
• Francine vs Frogadier - won

Spoiler:

After Calem's battle, Korrina is finally ready for the gym battle - so off I go - time to get that Rumble Badge. Arriving at the gym - challenging the trainers - its Korrina Time!

Spoiler:

For gyms 3 and 4 I promised myself: only 1 item, berry, or potion - luckily I didn't used any
Korrina, Shalour City
in party: Francine, George and Polly - Items/Potions: 0 Used
• Polly vs Mienfoo - lost, I'm actually surprised given that Polly has type advantaged, she lost on the 3rd hit

Spoiler:

• Francine vs Mienfoo - won, heartbreak lost (it breaks my heart every time I have to defeat one of my top favorite Pokemon) - poor Mienfoo, please forgive me!!

Spoiler:

• Francine vs Machoke - lost

Spoiler:

• George vs Machoke - won

Spoiler:

• George vs Hawlucha - won, just barely, only 1 hp left - wow, almost lost to Korrina, George survived Hawlucha's Flying Press with only 1 hp and earlier scald left Hawlucha with a burn, so Hawlucha was also on the red and the burn fainted it. Lucky George.

Spoiler:

I was going to originally use Fox in the battle, but I decided not too, she was almost 10 levels higher than Korrina - and tried to keep the gym battle kind of fair, and evened match.

Obtained Rumble Badge!!

Spoiler:

My Team - up to this moment, after receiving the Rumble Badge.
Lorraine is close to evolving, just 5 more levels to go. She will probably evolve by the time I reach Ramos.

No held items with the exception of Everstone during my challenge

I know it had been a long time between updates, along the way I'm also playing my Eeveelution Team, my German Dark Team - once a day I'll play a different team - I also decided to update after gym battles instead of between towns/cities.

 

[rarevalo92]

I'll try - don't know much about Soul Silver - I had experience with White 2 (slowly forgotten some parts due to me playing XY a lot) - so I"ll try it for that game, next poster could give you team suggestion for Soul Silver

Looks fine to me ... nice I've never used any of those pokemon besides Ampharos. This will be interesting.

[Necrum]

I am accepting applications for ownership of the Random Pokemon Challenge. Mind you, the thread is about 312 posts behind at the moment because I have been too busy and isolated to keep it updated. So if someone is willing to do the work, it's theirs.

Just making sure this is visible in here as well.

I would gladly take over this challenge but I am afraid that school starts for me in about two weeks and I am not sure how much time I will have for forum than sorry :(

Since I haven't played gen 6 games just yet I don't know which pokes are available and which ones are not (I haven't watched too many playthroughs either because I want to explore the games on my own when I get a chance to get them) so please let me know if either of them is not available and i will reroll for you (:

 

[RazorCheeks]
