    Nice update WKnite.
    Which reminds me, I'm going for a Fire Red challenge using one type: which is I'm still thinking about.
    I also updated the rules and changed the THIRD rule. Be sure to read it.

    Count me in! I will take pokemon no one else has and use:
    Mawile, Swalot, and Masquerain
    But its going to take a while to catch a surskit...
    Well actually, this seems a bit easy, so...
    what should i do?
    center-less run?
    any ideas for challenges?
    Well, w/e i already started. caught a surskit surprisingly fast, after the first 6 tries or so...
    Team:
    surskit lv 4

    Well, I finally managed to beat brock after 2 hours of training and 3 attempts. The 2 hours of training eventually led to a total of 4 evolutions:
    Weedle > Kakuna > Beedrill
    Caterpie > Metapod > Butterfree

    Butterfree's confusion was the move that won me the gym battle. After beating Brock, I skipped as many trainers as possible on the way to Mt. Moon, and once there, caught a Paras. Backtracked back to Pewter City, beating all the trainers I had previously skipped with Paras by spamming scratch. Also taught Paras Bullet Seed, but with all the flying and bug types around, it hasnt been of much use.

    Current Team:
    Butterfree lv15
    Naive
    Confusion
    Tackle
    PoisonPowder
    SleepPowder

    Beedrill lv13
    Adamant (1st time!!)
    Poison Sting
    Harden
    String Shot
    Fury Attack

    Paras lv15
    Docile
    Scratch
    Bullet Seed
    PoisonPowder
    Stun Spore

    Since the pokemons I wanted were to be female, I spent a little 'while' trying to capture my first pokemon. Nevertheless: here's my update so far:

    - Started my file and named myself Andrew. Named my Rival Zachary.
    - Started with Charmander and defeated Zachary at Oak's Lab (it was pretty easy).
    - Travelled to Viridian City while fleeing every wild pokemon I could find. Obtained Oak's Parcel.
    - Went back to Pallet and delivered the parcel to Oak. Obtained Pokédex and 5 poké balls.
    - Travelled to Viridian City (again) and obtained the Teachy TV.
    - Travelled to Viridian Forest.
    - After wandering around for ages, managed to find a female Pikachu 3rd attempt. Named it Meghan
    - Went back to Viridian City and went to the PokéCenter to ditch Charmander in the PC.
    - Went to Route 1 to train Meghan to level 7.
    - Went to Route 22 and fought Zachary. Beat him easily and Meghan grew to level 8.
    - Travelled back to Viridian Forest and captured a Weedle.
    - Left Viridian Forest and captured a Pidgey (which'll be my HM Slave).
    - Went back to Route 22 and caught a Rattata & Mankey.
    - Went to a PokéCenter and ditched: Pidgey, Weedle, Mankey, Rattata.
    - Travelled once again back to Viridian Forest and beat all the trainers there. Meghan grew to level 11.
    - Arrived at Pewter City and took on the Gym Challange.
    - The first trainer I fought gave me hassle (as his Geodude kept using Defense Curl putting up it's defence). Managed to defeat that and beat his Sandshrew no problem. Meghan grew to level 12.
    - Fought against Brock and lost against him.

    Well, that's my current update for now. If only it didn't take me nearly an hour to find a female Pikachu, I'd have arrived at the second gym already. Either way, I'm going to need to train some more before I can even think of beating Brock :(.

    Current Team:

    Meghan (Pikachu).
    Gender: Female.
    Level: 12.
    Nature: Serious (natures don't bother me).
    Moves:
    * Thundershock
    * Tail Whip.
    * Quick Attack
    * Thunderwave

    I knew I shouldn't have gotten rid of growl ¬_¬' I'll also update again later :)

    I finally managed to beat the Elite 4 now.
    I had already beaten Lorelei and Bruno before my last update, and then I got stuck against Agatha. Well, with some luck and thanks to the fact that Victreebel outspeeded Misdreavus, i finally managed to beat her now.
    I didn't expect to beat Lance, so I didn't save, but I did beat him, Primeape swept half of his team (but died more than once in that process) The rest got worn down by Victreebel's Sludge Bomb while asleep.
    Then it was rival time. I expected him to still lead with Pidgeot, but I was wrong. But it didn't matter, the Heracross he sent out against my Primeape got OHKOd anyway. The same happened to Tyranitar, which was next. (why does he sent Tar and not Alakazam against a fast fighting type? lol...)
    Next was Arcanine, it took an EQ because of intimidate and KOd Primeape and Victreebel which I accidentally sent out instead of Hypno, but somehow Primeape beat it after getting revived. Then came Alakazam, which now knew Shadow Ball. But since it's Attack stat is pathetic, Hypno CMed up (so the rest will be easier) and beat it. This would not have been necessary, Gyarados KOd it with a Hyper Beam shortly after, just to get Rock Slided to death while recharging. Last one was venusaur, it killed Primeape which I accidentally left in with Sludge Bomb, but got killed by Hypno after 2 Psychics without doing any serious damage.
    Triospecies Challenge - 3rd Generation




    Final Team:
    Triospecies Challenge - 3rd Generation
    Triospecies Challenge - 3rd Generation
    Triospecies Challenge - 3rd Generation

    Sucked against the first Elite 4 round, but crucial in the second one. I should have spend the time to get an Adamant one, the more attack would really have helped.


    Triospecies Challenge - 3rd Generation
    Triospecies Challenge - 3rd Generation
    Triospecies Challenge - 3rd Generation

    MVP, definetely. Sleep Powder saved me so many times, it's not even funny. OK, the rest wasn't really good (I didn't even manage to get rid of Secret Power), but still the MVP.

    Triospecies Challenge - 3rd Generation

    It got a lot worse towards the end, but still a good Pokemon. Too bad the only thing that got boosted by CM was Psychic... But there were no other options, the HP was Bug and its power was horrible. And Thief isn't better as well.

    Well, here's another update done recently:

    - Trained Meghan in Viridian Forest till she reached level 15. Taught her 'Double Team' over T-Wave.
    - Went back to Pewter City and challanged Brock.
    - Defeated Brock after the 2nd attempt. While he wasn't as hard like last time, I had to keep spamming 'Double Team' so that Geodude couldn't hit me. After a long haul, I beat his Onix no bother. Obtained Boulder Badge & aquired the tm Rock Tomb.
    - Got Running Shoes from the Aide.
    - Travelled to Route 3 and beat all the trainers there. Meghan grew to level 18.
    - Got to Route 4 and entered the PokéCenter. Bought the Magikarp and ditched it in the PC.
    - Went to Mt. Moon and obtained the TM 'Bullet Seed'. Also aquired a Escape Rope.
    - Fought some trainers (that were in my way) and Meghan grew to level 19.
    - Caught a Zubat & Paras.
    - Nearly got defeated of a Rocket Grunt (but had a Revive in hand). Nearly wasted all my Poke Balls before I made Zubat use one attack (did hardly any damage). Sandshrew finished it off before I got Meghan to defeat it.
    - Found a Clefairy (female) and captured it. Nicknamed it 'Emily'.
    - Used the Escape rope and entered the Pokecenter to ditch Zubat & Paras.
    - Entered Mt. Moon a 2nd time and fought more trainers. Emily grew to level 13 whereas Meghan grew to level 20.
    - Fought against the Super Nerd to get a Fossil. Took the Helix Fossil.
    - Fainted before I entered the Cerulean PokéCenter (I was poisoned but i didn't get the antidote because i thought i could get healed before i died).
    - Went through Mt. Moon a third time and got out of it (avoided trainers and wild battles).
    - Arrived at Cerulean City and healed my pokes. Also bought 3 Super Potions.
    - Went north and fought Zachary once again. Wasn't too difficult other than if it weren't for the Super Potions I bought, Pidgeotto would have obliterated Meghan with Quick Attack (as it left me with 25hp due to Critical hit). Managed to defeat that annoyed with 3hp left and beat my Rival's other poké with relevant ease. Emily grew to level 14 whereas Meghan grew to level 21. Obtained Fame Checker.
    - Defeated Nugget Bridge and obtained a Nugget as my prize. Emily was the only one who grew a level here which was level 17.
    - Caught a Female Oddish. Nicknamed it 'Petal'.
    - picked up the TM 'Attract'.
    - Beat all the trainers on my way to Bill. Meghan grew to level 22. Emily grew to level 18. Petal grew to level 17.
    - Obtained the S.S Anne from Bill and got: Eevee, Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon added to my Pokédex.

    That's all for now. I'll update once again later :)

    Edit: Just forgot to add my current team as well. Knew I was forgetting something :(.

    Mmkay, after about another hour of training, my team was lv 18, so I went to challenge the Nugget Bridge. Beedrill managed to beat all of my rival's pokemon, up until it lost a psuedo stall war with his Bulbasaur (Sleep powder + Leech seed FML). Butterfree cleaned up with Confusion in the end. Completeley destroyed nugget bridge, and beat Misty using Paras' Bullet Seed for Staryu, and Beedrill's newly learned Twinneedle for Starmie. After this, I went and beat the S.S Anne with Paras, who evolved into Parasect (FINALLY!!!!!). However, since Paras had already evolved, I decided to beat my rival single handedly with Beedrill for the EXP. This time, i managed to beat all of his pokemon, thanks to a combo of Twinneedle and Beedrill's new toy, Brick Break.

    Im now getting ready to take on Lt.Surge with Parasect, because of his resistance to Electricity, and his Dig.

    Current Team:
    Parasect lv24
    Docile
    Dig
    Scratch (Soon to be Slash, then Double Edge)
    Leech Life (Soon to be Spore)
    Bullet Seed

    Butterfree lv24
    Naive
    Confusion (Soon to be Psybeam, then Psychic)
    Tackle (Soon to be Gust, then Silver Wind)
    Poisonpowder
    Sleep Powder

    Beedrill lv24
    Adamant
    Twinneedle
    Brick Break
    Focus Enegy (Soon to be Aerial Ace)
    Secret Power

    Haven't gone through hoenn at all this year so I'll use my sapphire. I'll take for ever because I also just re-started my fire red today and am going through that using just 1 pokemon.

    Hmm...
    I'll use a Wingull
    a Torchic
    And Aggron

    I'll be evolving them and I shouldn't need any HM slaves. Should be fun but I probably won't start until tomorrow

    Just so that I don't forget all that's been happening lately, I'm going to post my update now (before I fight the Third Gym Leader).

    - Took on the Cerulean Gym Challange.
    - Defeated all the Trainers in Misty's Gym Using Petal. She grew to level 18 and learned the move 'Sleep Powder'. Got rid of the move 'Sweet Scent'.
    - Took on Misty. She wasn't as difficult as Brock, but her Staryu had a fetish for making Petal Confused in 1 attempt with Water Pulse. Luckily for me, Petal hardly hurt herself in her confusion and managed to take down Staryu with 3 Absorb's. But Petal got hit with Confusion Twice. When she used Starmie, I switched to Meghan and managed to get it's health down to yellow till two Water Pulse's finished Meghan off. Brought out Petal (who had some damage to her) and made her do Absorb. Took around 2 Swift's to finish off Petal (but managed to Bring down Starmie to red health). Finally, brought out Emily and Starmie's Water Pulse left Emily with half health before finishing off Starmie with Pound. Emily grew to level 19. Obtained the Cascade Badge and the TM 'Water Pulse'.
    - Took on the Rocket Grunt to obtain the TM 'Dig'.
    - Taught Meghan 'Dig' and got rid of the move 'Slam'.
    - Headed towards Route 6 (after underground path) and defeated all the trainers. Petal grew to level 19. Emily grew to level 21 (learned Minimize and forgot Double-slap). Meghan grew to level 23.
    - Arrived in Vermillion City.
    - Obtained the VS. Seeker.
    - Listened to the President of the Pokéfan club and got a bike Voucher.
    - Obtained the Old Rod from a Fisherman.
    - Caught Diglett in Diglett's Cave.
    - Left Diglett's Cave after Petal fainted.
    - Bought 5 Super Potions & 15 Parlyz Heal's at the Poké Mart (hey, best be prepared no?).
    - Ditched Diglett in the PC at the PokéCenter.
    - After many stops at the PokéCenter, and after some training at Diglett's Cave, Petal grew to level 21. it tried to evolve... but I pressed 'B' to stop it from happening. Also - Emily grew to level 22.

    I'd have kept playing, but my brother's SP battery went on Red so I saved my file and turned it off. Here's my team so far:

    Meghan (Pikachu).
    Gender: Female
    Level: 23
    Nature: Serious
    Moves:
    * Thundershock
    * Dig
    * Tail Whip
    * Double Team

    Emily (Clefairy).
    Gender: Female
    Level: 22
    Nature: Modest
    Moves:
    * Pound
    * Growl
    * Minimize
    * Sing

    Petal (Oddish).
    Gender: Female
    Level: 21
    Nature: Quiet
    Moves:
    * Absorb
    * Sleep Powder
    * Poison Powder
    * Stun Spore
