Good choice! I'll be reading yours or watching yours when you post your progress.

Someone needs to make banners for this, I'm no graphic artist but it'd be awesome to have our own banners for this thing.

Log:
Just to say I'm still here. I'll update every few badges so I'll be limited to updates. Working on levelling Exeggutor to an acceptable level so I can easily take on Koga taking advantage of his Psychic weakness.

This progress is bugging me
 
Started on Yellow's Mono-Bug this morning...

Having finished playing Track & Field for the NES, I sauntered downstairs.
Ignoring my mother, as per tradition, I opened the door for an inhalation of something other than bad cooking.
Strolling north to relieve myself, I had yet to begin when The Pokemon Prof. himself begins.
Talking to me that is.

Good thing, too, for the patch of grass I was gonna go for concealed a Pikachu burrow's front, um, doorhole? The Professor threw a Poké Ball and sucked it up like a shop vac. After a tense lolwut moment, I found myself infront of the Professor and beside "that kid" of his. OAK wanted me to take this brown furry critter for my own protection.
Going for it, "that kid" slams me into a locker. Fortunately it was bound shut with a twist-tie...
Seeing the trickle from my pinched nose, The Prof gave me that ironically colored Pikachu. "That kid" wised up the gall to challenge me to battle. I showed him my Pokémanz and lost to his EEVEE. Having called me a n00b, "that kid" ran off. If only was Sk8r McGee! Grrr!
Having named my PIKACHU "SHAFTED", with my well earned freedom, I walked north like a soda chugging Forest. Forest Gump.
Arriving at the 'big city', I went to purchase some Poké Balls. Unfortunately, a brown raccoon wearing a purple apron asked me to deliver a package to The Prof. Accepting on behalf of mum, I went down to deliver. On delivery, I received a cellphone. Sweet!
Reading the instructions, I learn that in my possession is in fact a Pokédex.
After buying 3 Pokéballs from the 'big city', I continued north through the Viridian Forest. On encounter of a Sixth Level Black Belt CATERPIE, I showed my moves. ^__^ And captured it with ease. Dropping METAPOD liek Mudkipz (whatever they are), CATERPIE evolved into a METAPOD. Using my now uber legend, I walked through the forest bopping other METAPOD on the head and showing losses to the Bug Catcher masses. With the exit ahead, my METAPOD evolved into BUTTERFREE. With one Tackle left, an abundance of Confusion, and a 'grey & gritty city' was just afew strides ahead. Healing at the Center of Pewter, I wormed my way into the Gym.
On pwnage of the Leader, and with my Lv. 15 BUTTERFREE, I returned to the Center of Pewter and shafted SHAFTED into SOMEONE's PC.

Saved game @ 1.38

Here is my video aboot Koga. It was a relatively difficult battle so I'm not looking forward to Sabrina one bit.

The second one was Wranthor, also called Poliwrath.
Yeah, I got hax'd by Venonat's critical there.. I should've used Surf or Hypnosis on the thing, but I was too shocked by it's power! That thing was powerful for a little bug ball thing.
I was lucky in the end, without Dig I surely would've lost against Koga.

Oh, and hey Matiass!

Beat Koga... with all my pokemon lower level than his... not sure how that happened, I WAS above everyone... *shrug* Finished it a while ago, but PC wouldn't load -.-

"Blog" Part 5: The Cheating Wheezing

After defeating Erica, I headed to the Game Corner, where I defeated a Rocket Grunt, and gained access to their headquarters. I fought my way through, as usual, and reached their leader, Giovanni. His Kangaskhan gave me a little trouble, but in the end, Beedrill was victorious. I then left Celadon and went for the Pokemon Tower with my newly acquired Silph Scope.

I fought my way up the tower, taking out the women and psychics on the way up. When I reached a ghost, the Silph Scope showed it to be Marowak. I defeated it, and the rockets on the next floor, and rescued Mr. Fuji, who was so grateful he gave me a PokeFlute that could awaken sleeping pokemon. I went south, to Route 12, and woke up Snorlax. It attacked in a rage, so I had Clamps defeat it. I obtained a Super Rod from a house on Route 12, so I would be able to catch a water pokemon I could surf on later.

I soon reached a patch of grass to the left, and knew what would be waiting for me. After fighting off some Pidgeys and Bellsprouts, I saw it. Venonat, the final member of my team. It put up not so much of a fight, and soon, Funster was mine. After some more arduous training, she caught up to the rest of my team.

A VERY Long and annoying trip through Route 12, and I finally reached Fuschia City, the site of my next Gym Battle. Luckily, bug types are effective against Poison, so I wasn't worried going into the battle. Although Fuschia is also the site of the Safari Zone, I thought I'd take my luck with the Gym first. :)

And I'll add you to the list, Tony Montana. Good luck! =D

Did you forget about me? :<

Well, I started my normal-type challenge already anyway, even though I'm not officially added to the list. I named my charater Red and my rival Blue (accidentally, later I realised that it should have been Green. :/) Chose Charmander as a starter, caught Pidgey (lv 2) and Rattata (lv 3). The small Pidgey kept fainting all the time, so when I soon encountered level 4 Pidgey, I captured it and threw the smaller on on my computer with Charmander. :P I trained Pidgey and Rattata a little more and then went to capture a Spearow (lv 4). (the more the merrier! ^^) I trained all three for a while, and entered the Viridian forest when all of them were on level 8. Went through Viridian forest, returned to defeat my rival, trained at Viridian forest (and encountered at least 5 Pikachus in the process :O).

I thought I could finally try challenging Brock when my Pokemon were all lv 12. Surprisingly, I succeeded on the first try. With Geodude, I used Pidgey to use Sand-Attack as many times as possible so Geodude wouldn't do much damage on me during the slow match. Then I used Gust and changed to Spearow when Pidgey's health was low. Spearow used peck until Geodude fainted. With Onix, I made Rattata use Tail Whip as many times as possible, and then just kept attacking, even if Onix used Bide. Because of that, Rattata fainted, but Pidgey finished the job and Onix was defeated as well.

I continued my journey on Route 3 and defeated all trainers. I started to search for Jigglypuff from the grass, I just couldn't find one. Later, when all my pokemon had leveled up once during the search, Jigglypuff appeared. Since my pokemon were already on level 15 and it was only lv 3, I couldn't attack it but kept throwing Pokeballs until it stayed in. I trained Jigglypuff a little after this.

Play time: 2:59

Jigglypuff

Aiyh, I'm so sorry! *adds you to the list right away* :D

And that is exactly how I always used to battle Brock, regardless of whether I had a monotype team or not. XD Pidgey's Sand Attack just seemed to be the best way of outsmarting those guys. ^_^

Ikwaylx December 17th, 2008 10:33 AM

It appears that there is NO way to lose against Sabrina; none whatsoever thanks to the AI this game employs. I find it an insult to the difficulty of Koga that this match was so easy!
I'll upload it later, until then I'll continue until Cinnabar.

Harry Blue5 December 17th, 2008 10:41 AM

I'll do fire please. Just one thing, I may not be that active. My school has a lot of homework. Plus, being 12, my attention span is low...

EDIT: Started with Charmander. I fought Brock at level 15. Geodude... he really embarrassed Brock, seriously. He did nothing to me and just level me up to 16. Onix fell easily, but he did leave a mark. I survived with 5hp, he could've of killed me but luckily the AI seemed to want me to win. I survived the battle by only using EMBER for the whole match. Fire beats rocks? Man there's a problem with the system.

Mr. bell December 17th, 2008 11:28 AM

i would like to do flying in red pls. luckily, i'm sick' so i will have a lot of free time=D

Tony Montana December 17th, 2008 12:31 PM

Yay! I caught a Geodude and got through Mt. Moon. Also Beat Rival Gary on Nugget Bridge and I'm struggling to beat Misty.

Poison Sting
Scratch
Double Kick

NOTE: If you wonder why I didnt use my Moon Stone On Nidorino/Nidorina, it's because Misty would inflict serious damage with Bubblebeam, as Nidoking/Nidoqueen are Ground-Type.

Ru-Kun December 17th, 2008 12:53 PM

Ikwaylx December 17th, 2008 5:00 PM

Okay, my first blog in a while.

Sabrina the Teenage Twitch
Alright, after my awesome fight against Koga, I decided to take it easy and travel along the boardwalk to the east, fighting and grinding against trainers in preperation for difficult fights ahead. Never have I seen such a huge increase in the levels between the first half of the Gym Leaders and the second half. To be honest with you, I like that!
In Saffron, I noticed that the Silph Co. Building had no guard in front. Because of this, I took up the oppurtunity and entered. To my 'surprise', there were Rocket Grunts inside! Now, I didn't exactly go on every floor, so I missed a load of Rocket members. It's no big deal but I could've used them for training now that I look back: Bah!
I also found a room with a TM in it; none other than Earthquake! I drooled in adorement at the TM and replaced Dig with it immediately to Ricky. Maybe I should've taught it to Hitomi or Marcus? I say who cares?

Gary decided to be a pain and show up, waiting for me like a jerk. I gave him a sound beating to pay him a lesson... A lesson IN PAIN! I smashed him, rolled him up and tossed him aside like a paper ragdoll. No rival will take away my right to be awesome with fighting types!
All that aside, once again I go up and find Team Rocket in the way. Yeah, thanks, I pushed them away and went over to Giovanni who said that he'll teach me a lesson in pain.. I just said that: PLAGIARIST! I got mad and Earthquaked him to death. All of his pokemon were easy to defeat, so it wasn't a big deal or anything.

When that was all done, I got a Master ball for my efforts from the chairman of Silph. What a kindly old fellow, too bad I'll never get to use it... ever.
I left the building, entered the gym and found the trainers.....
...
kinda easy.
Wow, I never thought I'd say that, but it's true. I thought Psychic types were threats, but I manage to destroy the Abra line in one hit and the rest weren't very strong at all. The only challenge were the channellers inside the gym with their Gastlys and Haunters; I still can't believe that they only have 3 ghost types in the first generation.
Sabrina was, well.. Watch this video, you'll see what I mean
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cS5P54M05jY

Pack your Marshmallows, we're going for a fiery match!

Yeah.. Sabrina really was surprising, but I'm proud of my Marshbadge. One question... Why Marshbadge? What's so psychic about marshes? Am I forgetting something about marshes here?
Ugh, that out of the way, I travelled to vermillion city and spelunked through Diglett cave in order to reach Pallet town fast and easily. When in Pallet I took the mildly short surf down; all the while pitching fights, killing jellyfish and MORE! It was fun apart from that one trainer with 6 bloomin' magikarps. There's ALWAYS one..

In Cinnabar, the gym was locked so I had to go into the Pokemon Mansion to look for a key. Damn, the wild battles are way more common here, it's nuts.
After finally reaching the key and finding no trace of Dittotic life around, I escape roped my way out, went to the mart to buy 'burn heal'. And proceeded to purposely answer every quiz wrong! Tm28 REALLY IS Tombstoner!

The battle with Blaine was easy but it peeved me off. I was going to use Thrash, but I accidentially used Seismic toss! ARghrgrghh!
Here's the video
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq4JeCK5vOo

Alakazam17 December 17th, 2008 5:38 PM

When the Americans translated the original Red and Blue, they somehow mixed up the names of Sabrina and Koga's badges. "Soul" was supposed to be Sabrina's, and "Marsh" was meant for Koga. I think you can see that these fit better. =D

Good luck on your next badge! :D

I'll just about ready to challenge the Elite Four. But I intend to get that Slowpoke evolved before I begin. Will update when I get through it, including videos. ^_^

Good luck to you too with the Elite 4! Thanks for clearing that up, I knew something was wrong with them.
The next badge will be easy, all I need is to go wild with Wranthor. Simple!

Oh, and I uploaded the videos in case you posted that before I edited my post.
