The Date of Birth Challenge

[CasualGameFreak]

So, at Virbank right now, going to give an update.

Part One.

Spoiler:

So, I started the game, confirming the hack works (playing VoltWhite 2) and picked Tepig due to my team having the most advantages against Samurott. I named it "Temporary" because that's what it is: temporary until I reach Floccesy Ranch. So I do, catching my first partner.

MAREEP GET! I named her Jasmine, and I went along and trained for a bit before taking out my rival, named "Trololo" as a reference to Kit's Nuzlocke, and rescuing the Herdier. After battling the two Schoolkids, Jasmine evolved into Flaaffy! I then ran back to Aspertia, defeated the Gym trainers, and challenged Cheren.

The Munchlax was just too much for Jasmine, and I lost. I rechallenged Cheren and beat Munchlax with Charge + ThunderShock spam. Cheren is defeated.

I then went down to Virbank, having a couple close calls in trainer battles. I withdrew Temporary to enable a double battle, and he gained EXP due to not fainting. Is this allowed? The only purpose was to enable that double battle, and I boxed him again immediately afterwards. This will be the only time this happens, because I get my next teammate at Castelia (And I'm looking forward to using Victini). I'm outside Virbank Complex right now, going to do that sidequest.

Ok, September 30th, 1991, playing AS...

1. 39+91 = 130, in New Hoenn that's Lunatone

2. 60, Golem, I'm sensing a theme here

3. 36, Breloom

4. Rock type of my choice (another one!) Aggron

5. Purple Pokemon of my choice. Starmie because why not

6. The first Pokemon found on the route that corresponds to the month you were born in. Route 109 so probably a Tentacruel

3. 36, Breloom

Just saying. 30*3 is 90, not 60. So you have to use Illumise, not Golem.
And for the third Pokemon, it would be 81, not 36, so it's Manectric. It's calculated by Month*GenerationGame Squared, so it's 9*3*3.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I signed up for this before on Crystal and Emerald, but forget those, I'll do it on Y instead.

Birthdate = 6/17/1988

1. 6+17+88=111 - Cyrogonal (Mountain Dex)
2. 17*3=51 - Chorphish (Crawdaunt) (Central Dex)
3. 6*3*3=54 - Steelix (Coastal Dex)
4. June=Fire - Houndoom
5. June=Gray - Magnezone
6. June=6 - Route 6

*facepalm* For some reason thought R/S/E were gen 2. I can't brain today.

 

[ShadeDraco]

Name: Shadedraco
Game: B2
Pokemon Team: Maractus, Espeon, Cofagrigus, Serperior, Ampharos, and Cinccino (I know it would be Route 5, but forced to do the Hidden Grotto, so my only option)

 

[CasualGameFreak]

Gonna give another update now!

Spoiler:

So, I went into Virbank Complex and did the sidequest there. Took me two tries, because Jasmine suicided into Koffing's massive Defense stat, but still, I did it :). I then went and challenged Roxie. Oh yeah, this hack (VoltWhite 2) gives her a Trubbish. With NORMAL GEM EXPLOSION. GDI DRAY.

But, after TWELVE FLIPPING TRIES, Roxie is defeated.

I then sailed to Castelia after the Pokestar Studios thing, and immediately went west to Liberty Island. The location of Victini in this hack. After 2 tries (I had to soft reset due to accidentally fainting it because I mispredicted with Endure), Victini is caught. Named Victoria because victory.

After curbstomping Team Plasma in the sewers, I fought a ton of trainers to grind levels. I then challenged Burgh.

Aaand Scyther is OP. And so is Parasect. But on the fourth try, Burgh is defeated, and Jasmine evolves into Ampharos. Yeah, kinda overleveled...

Of note since is that Jasmine beat FOUR MONS with 12 HP while paralyzed. Sure, it was a random trainer on Route 4, but it was awesome and proved Jasmine as a total BAMF. Right now, I'm on Route 4, ready to finish cleaning up the route.

Pokemon Team: Butterfree, Raticate, Bulbasaur, Glaceon, Umbreon, (first pokemon I find on route 1)


I have a quick question regarding the challenge, for the 3rd pokemon in your team, I got bulbasaur and im playing a gen 2 game, so there is no way I can get a Bulbasaur, ... what should I do? I forgot to add, that since its a fangame there is no way I can trade for it.
