yeah, Im glad you guys are starting to realize the battle frontier is the hardest part,


I easily beat the elite for with all water types, including a captured kyogre ^^

But yeah, that is the downhill part of the battle, the frontier is too hard, and I have absolutely no patience for it atm.

That's what I asked Brien, and he ignored the question.

Also: Pyromaniac- O_O

Pyromaniac45 October 10th, 2008 7:17 AM

Beat Wally in Victory Road.
Septile 46
Flygon 49
Graveler 45

made it though the victory road.
Graveler - 46
Flygon - 51
Septile - 48

I'm going to train all of my pokemon to at least level 60 before I attemt the league.

Victory road wouldn't have been so hard if I hadn't run out of PP for EVERYTHING except screech... for both flygon and sceptile...

and for the prize thing... perhaps someone could commission someone to do some graphic art for the winner, or some kind of badge to put in their sig or something like that?

groudonlover October 10th, 2008 7:37 AM

I can do a nice badge!
Anyone ideas for design?
Or i can make it look somewhat like a Contest Medal.

~SilverSoul October 10th, 2008 7:58 AM

Brien October 10th, 2008 8:17 AM

there really isnt anything I can give to those who dont have diamond/pearl.

Cynic Kaka October 10th, 2008 11:49 AM

Brien October 10th, 2008 5:15 PM

You guys are doing very well!


keep up the amazing job!

True Reign October 10th, 2008 5:27 PM

I wished I could join and catch up and everything, but I don't really want too >_>.

Maybe in another week, you guys can make a Firered/Leafgreen Monotype Challenge?

Cynic Kaka October 10th, 2008 6:19 PM

I might think of doing D/P Challenge.

Pyromaniac45 October 10th, 2008 6:47 PM

a D/P challange would be pretty cool, because that way we could battle eachother, but I for one wouldn't be willing to erase my current Diamond game. I can't do it. I've spent too much time on this one. that's why I think the advance generation are ideal for the monotype challanges, because the roms are easy to find, and really good. the Diamond roms that I've found don't work too well...

that's just what I think. perhaps others wouldn't mind erasing their games...

True Reign October 10th, 2008 6:50 PM

I don't really want to erase my Pokemon Emerald file, I don't have Pokemon D/P, but I could do Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen since I don't play it anymore.

Will probably be fun. ^_^

Pyromaniac45 October 10th, 2008 6:52 PM

I'm usually not willing to erase my games, thats why I love roms so much.

Zetta-Chan October 10th, 2008 6:53 PM

Okay, beat Tate & Liz. Awakened everything, blah blah. Beat the 8th gym! Elite Four now!

Lvl. 50 Machamp
Lvl. 50 Blaziken
Lvl. 52 Medicham
Lvl. 54 Breloom

aaronburnsyou October 10th, 2008 9:13 PM

Hm, it seems like a lot of people are catching up to, and even surpassing, me! I guess I picked a bad time to take a short break.

I haven't made it to any official update points, but I'll just say that I solved the Aqua/Magma crisis, and now everyone on my team is either Lv38 or Lv39.

I'll probably just play the game casually for the weekend, mainly just leveling my pokemon up, because they're pretty unleveled for my standards. I may even post a real update if I get far enough, but my progress will probably slow for a little while. (I guess that can give everyone else a chance to get ahead of me).

I might also be figuring out what I can do with my team for the Battle Frontier, maybe even replacing for other team members, even though my only two other choices will be Muk or Ariados (or Dustox, if the staff allows me to catch a Cascoon to get it).

Anyway, I though I'd come to tell you all what's going to be going on, instead of just saying nothing and letting you all assume that I had been decapitated. Once again, good luck to everyone in the competition!!

Cynic Kaka October 11th, 2008 5:23 AM

Don't you mean, if Brien allows it? >_>

TheDeadpool October 11th, 2008 2:04 PM

ok since i am very far behind, ive decided instead of trying to catch up, ill host a monotype challenge for FR/LG. since i know so much about it, and can get any pokemon i want in it, i figure i can help a few people out too.... soo unfortunately im going to have to drop out of this. Im sure it will be fun, so i might pick up my emerald every now and again. but untill then, Dark Contestant Dropped out.

Brien October 11th, 2008 2:20 PM

Hmm

Idk if I should be the one deciding >.>


Artic could also,

I won't object, as long as he doesnt do the battling-

I.e. Experience share until evolved, or Daycare and then rare candy evolution.
