I have completed Crystal!

The Kanto gyms were, naturally, easy.

Surge - Quagsire's Earthquake swept him without breaking a sweat.

Sabrina - Actually quite difficult, due to not having any super-effective moves bar the useless Fury Cutter.

Erika - A little annoying, but since I had two Ice-Punchers on the team I managed to beat her.

Janine - Easy due to her being horribly underlevelled

Misty - Lanturn made short work of her in the Battle of the Water Titans!

Brock - Laughably easy.

Blaine - Ditto.

Blue - I hate Exeggutor! All the others were alright, but this guy solarbeamed his way through most of my team - boy was I glad for frzhax.

And so it came to this: The Final Battle. Red, the current Pokemon Master, vs I, the Water Pokemon Champion. The battle began....

I got creamed. Went back to Mt Silver, did a little training, fed a few vitamins, and headed back.

Pikachu was no trouble for Quagsire and his Earthquake. The real trouble here was Venasaur, but I had an Ace up my sleeve - a Quick-clawed Laturn with Thunder Wave. Boy, full paralysis saved me so many times on the second turn of Solarbeam, and the combined Ice Punches of Feraligatr and Azumarill, with a Confusion from Golduck, managed to take him down. I thought I was fine from then on - but no. That damned Espeon, and that damned Snorlax.

The two of them cost me about ten revives with their constant sweeping of my team - Psychic and Body Slam are now my most hated moves ever. Though eventually I managed to get enough hits in to take them both down - But I was down to just two Pokemon. He sent out Blastoise - not a tall order for Lanturn. Charizard was powerful enough to take Lanturn down, but Feraligatr finished the job, and I was Pokemon Champion.

As for my rival, I forgot about him until after Red, so I quickly popped back to Mt Moon to kick his ass. I can't be bothered to beat the Elite Four a few more times to fully complete his story. That's not necessary, right?

Final Team - all lvl. 50:

Spr_2g_195.png

Quagsire (Arthur)
- Surf
- Earthquake
- Strength
- Amnesia

Indispensible against those pesky Electric-types, and pretty powerful anyway, especially learning Earthquake quite early.

Spr_2g_055.png

Golduck (Donald)
- Surf
- Confusion
- Headbutt
- Flash

Useful early on, but suffered for not learning any Psychic attack more powerful that Confusion.

Spr_2g_222.png

Corsola (Gemma)
- Bubblebeam
- Earthquake
- AncientPower
- Recover

I though it would be more useful than it was. Should have caught a Dewgong or Lapras.

Spr_2g_171.png

Laturn (Shockwave)
- Surf
- Spark
- Flail
- Thunder Wave

Like Quagsire, was indispensible thanks to its favourable typing. Thunder Wave was a very useful move as well.

Spr_2g_160.png

Feraligatr (Tock)
- Surf
- Ice Punch
- Fury Cutter
- Slash

Very useful thanks to Ice Punch, and probably my most powerful pokemon on pure stats.

Spr_2g_184.png

Azumarill (Bun-Bun)
- Waterfall
- Rollout
- Iron Tail
- Ice Punch

Would have been more useful if it had a more favourable movepool.

Now onto Emerald! I seem to have worked out how to trade between third gen games, so I'm planning a Kingdra.


And by the way, since I typed this yesterday, but couldn't post it because of the downtime, I've started Emerald and beaten the first gym with complete ease. My team so far:

Mudkip (Kip) – lvl. 14
Lotad (Muchos) – lvl. 11
Wingull (Gunn) – lvl. 12

Well, as for me, I'm still training. Just a few levels more and I'll defeat Cyrus. One question, do I have to do the Distortion World all over again? It's pretty annoying.

Oh, and Iron Island started giving me very little exp points now. Any better place to train? Or do I have to stick with that and Vs. Seeker?

idk, playing platinum on this monotype challange was my first game in sinnoh (lol), i trained at the Iron island with the guy with lucario the first time i was there (trained my pokemon to lvl 42 i think) and then the rest of the game was quite easy.

As i said before, i want to take this challenge again. I'll do Normal and i'll start in Red this time.

I just wanted to post my Update, but found a typo, pressed backspace and for some reason my browser betrayed me and i was back in the General Pokemon Gaming Forum, and all the wall of text that described my awesome battle against Brock was gone...
I'm too lazy to repeat that now, so in short:
Team: Rattata and Spearow Lv. 14, Pidgey Lv.3
did weird stuff against Geodude and spammed Growl, forgot about Defense Curl. switched to Rattata, spammed Hyper Fang, didnt do much. Later, Geodude was down, Onix gets switched in, Spearow fails and dies. Rattata manages to take most of Onix HP off, later Hyper Fang runs out of PP, Rattata dies a short time later. Thought i lost, but then realized i still had Pidgey. Spammed Gust, Onix was stupid and used Bide, so i won and Pidgey leveled to Lv.8

I discourage using shedinja, as it's weaknesses are REALLY common. I would recommend Heracross, Armaldo (both are self-explanatory) or Illumise (pretty good movepool, nice Encore support for example, but needs tons of Exp)

I'm in Mt.Moon now, just found the Moon Stone.

Team:

InYourFace / Rattata Lv. 16
Spr_1b_019.png

- Tackle
- Tail Whip
- Quick Attack
- Hyper Fang
Chose that nickname because it can HYPEEEEAAAAR ... Fang.

Spearow / Spearow Lv. 17
Spr_1b_021.png

- Peck
- Growl
- Leer
- Fury Attack
Accidentally didnt give a nickname, but only 3 more levels, and then i have a mighty Fearow!

Pidgey / Pidgey Lv. 8
Spr_1b_016.png

- Gust
Saved me against Brock, but i'm still not going to use this. No Nickname because i clicked too fast, just like with Spearow.

SingStar / Jigglypuff Lv. 15
Spr_1b_039.png

- Sing
- Water Gun
- Pound
- Disable
It took eternally to find a Clefairy, it leveled up a lot in that time.

TM Dump / Clefable Lv. 10
Spr_1b_036.png

- Pound
- Growl
TM Dump because i evolved it that early, it's going to eat all my best TMs now...

Today, I got sick of training and I went to the Distortion World to hunt down Cyrus (again). SO good I didnt have to do the strength puzzle again =)

Well, once I found him, he said he was unbeatable and I battled him. Not so "unbeatable" after all, as Gliscor's Thunder Fang destroyed his Gyarados and Crobat. Slugg tool care of Houndoom, and the other ones took care of his Weavile and Honchcrow. Then I threw a master ball at Giratina (kind of a waste if I didnt catch it, but I'm not gonna use it so...). Then the blue-haired-whack-a-doodle stayed in Giratina's Weird World, and Cynthia and I procceeded to get the hell out of there.

Now, I'm at Sunyshore City, gonna go back to beat all trainers on Route 222 before challenging Volkner.

Grounder - Torterra - Lv 47
Rock Climb

Since I don't want to restart any of my games, I'm gonna use an emulator for this challenge.

Let's see... I'll go with Water, I think. I like Squirtle... and Totodile... and Mudkip... AND Piplup.
