Holy Huge Update Batman

So, Now that I've finished FireRedm here I'll post a super huge update that is way too big for it's own good. So I put all the pointless gyms and stuff in a spoiler and put my final team out of it.

Spoiler:

Final Team:

TYPHLOSION [Blaze] Lv80
Impish Nature @Charcoal
-Double-Edge
-Rock Slide
-Flamethrower
-Eruption

ARCANINE [Ashe Jr.] Lv80
Docile Nature @King's Rock
-Flamethrower
-Thunder Fang
-Iron Tail
-Dragon Pulse

MAGMORTAR [Nuker] Lv80
Quiet Nature @Focus Sash
-Fire Blast
-Psychic
-Faint Attack
-Hyper Beam

MVP: Ashe Jr.; the ARCANINE
-He definitely gets MVP, no doubt about it. Not only was he extremely powerful, his moveset was very effective for battling, because there were moves for each situation. Compared to others, he could take a lot of hits and dish out a lot of damage. I named him Ashe Jr. because he's an Arcanine just like Ashe in FireRed, although he didn't continue the trait of being horrible.

LVP: Nuker; the MAGMORTAR
-I wasn't sure about it at first, but he honestly deserves this spot. Even though his moveset isn't bad, in fact, it's pretty awesome, it's just that he didn't evolve until really late and because of that his stats just weren't good enough. Even as a Magmortar, he was easily defeated, his High Sp. Atk didn't make up for it. He was named Nuker because I couldn't remember his previous name (It was Burner, I remembered later on) so I decided to name him Nuker because his evolved name has Mortar in it.

Other: Blaze; the TYPHLOSION
-He was a candidate for LVP, but he did pretty well near the very very end of the game and also the start. He had a pretty horrible moveset, all his good moves were Fire-Type, so it was hard to make him good for bad situations. But his Fire attacks could definitely dish out a lot of damage. I named him Blaze because it's related to fire. That and his ability is also Blaze.

I'll Post Hoenn stuff later, I only need to beat the Elite Four (Ruby), Beat Cipher's Boss (XD) & Beat Alder (White) now.

Update #2 on White Version of my Ultimate Ground Challenge!

- Beat Brycen without many issues. Excadrill is fast, and a Swords Danced Rock Slide wiped everything he had out.
- Went off to Dragonspiral Tower and caught Golett. Then went back to the Moor of Iccirus and Route 8 and grinded Golett and Stunfisk.
- Climbed Dragonspiral Tower and beat the Plasma Grunts, then watched N fly off with Reshiram.
- Went through to Opelucid City. Beat Iris there with the help of everyone on the team.
- Went through Victory Road and grinded everyone to Lv. 52.

Elite Four Round 1!

- Fought Marshal first. Golurk took care of all his fighters with some Earthquakes and Mega Punches.
- Went on to Caitlin. Excadrill + Swords Dance + X-Scissor = absolute destruction.
- Shauntal was next. She was a bit trickier, but Seismitoad and Krookodile took her team out.
- Grimsley was last. This one was a team effort that basically ignored the Dark typing of his team. He wasn't too tough either.

Went down to face Alder... but N beat him. So... I caught Zekrom and sent it to the PC, then went on to fight N.

N Battle: Seismitoad took on his Reshiram, and it really wasn't that difficult. A Poison Jab + hyper potions combination took it down. Klinklang fell to an Excadrill Earthquake; Vanilluxe went down to Rock Slide; and Zoroark fell to an X-Scissor. Excadrill took down Carracosta too. And of course, Stunfisk (lolz) won the battle with a Thunderbolt on Archeops.

Then, stupid Ghestis wanted to battle...
- Cofagrigus was beaten by a nom-nom-noming Krookodile (Crunch.)
- Next was that scary Hydregion. Well... It was cake to beat. Seismitoad hit it with a Drain Punch, and Poison Touch kicked in. One more Drain Punch finished the beast off!
- Bouffalant was next, and it took down Seismitoad. Golurk finished it with a Brick Break.
- I revived my Seismitoad, so it beat his with a Grass Knot.
- Drain Punch took down Bisharp.
- And... Elektross was the grand finale. It was a bit of a team effort, but Excadrill beat it in the end.

And then there was text, and credits... and now the postgame beckons!

Basically, I went and found all of the sages besides the one in the eastern half of Unova. Fast experience growth with the Lucky Egg and Lv. 65 opponents!

Almost done with this challenge!

So here's my first update: on my Sapphire Water monotype:

-Picked Mudkip, obviously. Named him Tuck. Figure I would name everyone after a New York Giant. It's funny to see "Tuck used Tackle!". Trained a bit, did all the intro material.

-Caught a Wingull, named him Wilson.

-Pretty much swept through everything up to the first Gym, where I decimated Roxanne. Tuck evolved into a Marshtomp after the battle.

-Caught a Zigzagoon as an HM slave.

-Went to Dewford Town, had my way with the whole gym using Wilson, who gained about 5 levels off the trainers.

I leave off there for now. Honestly, it should be a breeze getting through the 4th gym. Might have some trouble with Daddy Norman, but I might end up levelling a Magikarp to Gyarados for back up.

My team:

Tuck the Marshtomp
Level 16: Tackle, Mud Shot, Mud-Slap, Water Gun

Wilson the Wingull
Level 18: Growl, Water Gun, Supersonic, Wing Attack
