Dora Update #1 So far Dora has made it to Azelea Town and defeated Bugsy the Gym Leader. Notable highlights include: 1. The plan to defeat Falkner at the Flying Gym was always to get Tico the Pachirishu to spark them all down. Alas, I forgot that Tico didn't get Spark until level 13 and...

Dora the Explorer I decided that if I was going to do this I would pick a young character as befits a kid on their Pokemon journey. So here we go. User name: RichD Character: Dora the Explorer Game: Soul Silver Team: Boots the Monkey: Aipom Swiper the Fox: Vulpix Benny the Bull: Tauros Isa...

Well if people want to pick the easy towns, that is their choice, but greater bragging rights will go to those picking the tougher towns. I would say no simply because if we have to keep track of every special NPC in a city it will get too complex pretty quick.

I have a thought that I am calling the Hometown Challenge. The general idea is that you would pick a town or city in Pokemon game and you are limited to using the Pokemon that can be caught on the routes immediately next to the selected town plus the pokemon that the gym leader of that town...

Ah yes, missed that wildy wanted only normal type moves. That is a pickle. Best I can think of is a Kangaskhan with Dizzy Punch to get the Steelix to bash itself, give your Miltank Bide and try to last long enough to blast it, or try a Raticate with Super Fang.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I'll ask anyway, where do Apricorn made Pokeballs in HeartGold/SoulSilver fit in this challenge? Also, you disallow nuggets found by pickup. Should we disallow PokeBalls found by Pickup as well?

So for the purposes of this run, I am only using Normal types, including those that are Normal/Something. I have got all 8 badges and am gearing up to fight the E4 and as you might imaging it is tricky getting the right mix of moves with all normals. I had traded a few in to jump start things...

Aqua cause I'm a sushi lover. Is anyone else amused that the Team Aqua has a red bar in the poll and Team Magma the blue?

So apparently I'm an idiot and there are no Surskit in Emerald. Boo. On the plus side, all that grind has brought both my Dustox, Motte, and my Beautifly, Monarch, to level 20. Onward to Rustboro City.

Anybody still doing this? I was planning to start up doing a bug run. Probably still will anyway but it's always nice to have a community cheering you on or making fun of you or whatever this community does. :) Well so far, I snagged two Wurmples right off the bat and trained them up until...
