I'm avoiding the annoying run to Sabrina atm <_< lol.

Though, I just realized HOW many pokemon gyms are weak to bug in first generation, almost all the gyms I've had super effective moves for -.-

I'm at the Elite 4! It's time for an epic battle and the final part of this saga of the Macho fighers!
Giovanni with cheese
I felt like I needed a bit of a grind, so I went back to the sea routes and the Silence Bridge to fight all the trainers I missed earlier on when I went through the route. This managed to, in all, get me to level 50 and 49 in total. I was far beyond strong enough to destroy Giovanni in a flash!

A long walk to Viridian, but when I got there I decided to deposit my items for later when I reach the Indigo Plateau, including TMs and key items..
The gym wasn't too hard, and it had a bucket load of trainers meaning a hefty amount of experience was to be had! Once again, too easy for this. I think I'm just too good for these dudes!
Giovanni wasn't much of a challenge, I defeated all but one of his pokemon with Hitomi. The reason for that was because he was overlooked as crap during his last 3 battles, so I decided to give him a chance for once. He did well. Here's the video for your Gio needs!
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tK0yiGwNeDI

Now that I have all 8 badges, I went to the nearby route and encountered my rival! Not again! Agh do I hate him.. Well, he destroyed 2 of my pokemon which makes him quite the guy. His team is getting more challenging to defeat, the next time I battle him won't be pretty...

Well, not much left to say apart from Victory Road. Victory Road was a real pain in this version. The strength puzzles are bad enough but they have wild pokemon and trainers too.
Moltres! Moltres was destroyed within two hits; dissappointing for a legendary bird. It should've thrashed me, but it did the oposite.

DEAR DUDES:
Yo, as I'm about to go to the Elite 4, this is my last chance to use any of the TMs I have. What do you think I should teach to my fighting types before I go? Please suggest some movesets! I'd be thankful to a great degree.

Next segment will be a review of all the Elite 4 battles and the introduction to the second generation!

Ninja Tree December 18th, 2008 1:19 PM

Well you have Ice Beam, Earthquake, Rock Slide, and Surf. I'd say you're good to go.

Mr. bell December 18th, 2008 2:36 PM

I think you should teach them a move thats good against agatha, like psychic, since she is using poison and ghost but maybe earthquake will be ok since her Gengar don't have levitate.

The only person who can learn that is Wranthor, so should I take over Body Slam or Hypnosis?
Nevermind, I took over Body Slam. Sleep on cue is too handy compared to a small chance at paralysis; in fact, I might change Hypnosis to Thunder Wave if it can. (It can't.)

_______________________________

Anyway, I'm getting started now, I'll upload all my stuff to my youtube so keep checking up on it. Wish me luck!




Newsflash:
I lost against my rival!
AGGH!
His Alakazam was the one that destroyed me in the end, he KO'd EVERY pokemon of mine in ONE hit. I tried stalling it, but all I received was a never ending barrage of Psychic. I'm serious, I don't think my rival's PP ever runs out.

Because of this epic loss, I decided to train, train train. Doesn't this sound like a Rocky movie?

Skaterzpenguin December 18th, 2008 6:04 PM

Hey there its me again! I just beat the celadon game corner underground and I save mr fugi. Now i'm headed to the bike path and heading towards Fuschia city. I have 4 badges and have thesel pokemon still... (I will be making a video when i'm at the elite 4) ;]

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. ^_^

Thanks~ :3 Hehe, I just usually trust the good old type advantage and just attack with full power. :P

Okay, continuing my Normal-type journey! I had planned to use Jigglypuff in my team, not Clefairy (one pink fluffy creature is enought), but after doing some quick research over the internet I changed my mind. Clefairy line just has better stats, better moves, and cuter sprites in R/B. ;) So bye to Jiggly~ I contunued through Mount Moon while searching for Clefairy. When I found Water Gun TM, I taught the move to Rattata, which helped me a lot with all those Geodudes. Eventually caught Clefairy and go through the cave.

I beat my rival again (Pidgey evolved!), defeated all trainers before Bill's house and visited Bill. Just before I was about to challenge Misty, all my pokemon grew to level 20, which means that both Rattata and Spearow evolved! Misty's Staryu was no mach against my Fearow, but Starmie surprised with its strong Bubblebeam, which caused my Pidgeotto and Clefairy to faint. But Fearow got the job done again. ^^ After defeating the Rocket I taught Dig to Raticate.

After defeating all trainers on S.S. Anne I encountered Blue again. He was surprisingly weak this time! (If he has over 40 pokemon, why not use some of them to make his team stronger...?) Well, cured the Captain (I still don't understand how rubbing shoulders helps a seasick person...) and got HM Cut. I taught Cut to Charmander, went through Diglett's cave, caught a Weedle so I had 10 pokemon and got HM05, Flash.

Current team:

Mr. bell December 19th, 2008 4:37 AM

I was just wondering. In GSC, do we have to beat only the gym leaders of Johto and the Elite Four, or also the gym leaders of Kanto?

Tony Montana December 19th, 2008 6:06 AM

hey i uploaded the two incredibly-easy-battles against Gary and Lt. Surge

"Blog" 6: Sabrina... The Teenage Witch (I so stole that :P)

(As these next gyms take place in quick succession, gonna do all 3 now.)

After Defeating Koga, I taught Funster the Toxic TM that was given to me, and it was time to fully explore Fuschia City, and the Safari Zone~ After an annoying run through there, I finally found the Skull Bash TM, which I taught to Spitfire, I also recovered some Gold Teeth I turned in to obtain the HM for Strength, in which I taught to Clamps.

I finally reached Saffron City, and got the Psychic TM from Mr. Psychic, and promptly taught it to Celest. I then went into a place I thought was a gym, but instead, they offered me a fighting pokemon for winning, which I turned down.

I then went into the Silph Co. and noticed it was occupied by Rockets... which meant it was time to go to work! I found a Take Down TM inside, and decided that Skull Bash was useless, and replaced it on Spitfire. When I entered one portal, my rival was waiting for some reason... weird. I battled him and won, but not before he knocked out Spitfire. I continued on in search for the cause of Team Rocket being here.

A nice man on the floor my rival was on gave me a Lapras, whom I would teach Surf to and use as my HM slave, in place of the creepy Psyduck I caught in the Safari Zone. I found a TM for Swords Dance, and taught it to Clamps, finally replacing the move I consider to be cheating, Guillotine. At the top, I found the chairman of the company being harassed by that sleezeball Giovanni. After beating him, the chairman gave me a Master Ball... something I'll never need to use. Now it was time to go beat up Sabrina for my 6th badge.

"Blog" 7: The Bane of Blaine

After beating Sabrina, it was time to surf down to Cinnibar Island on my Lapras, which involved first getting TO Cinnibar, which was not an easy task. I chose to backtrack to Fuschia city and surf south of there. After fighting through the Seafoam Islands, I was closer to Cinnibar.

I arrived in Cinnabar only to find the Gym Locked... Naturally, I went into the nearest building hoping to find the Gym Leader, and found myself in the Pokemon Mansion. After fighting numerous Burglars, I found a TM that contained Solar Beam. Excited, I taught it to Celest, replacing the Razor Wind skill I had originally given her. Nearby, I found the Key to the gym.

Inside, I answered some weird quizzes, and soon I was face to face with the 7th gym leader. As he was a master of fire Pokemon, I was worried that he'd roast my bugs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27f6_leIi8c

I was right to worry, it was a close match. I got lucky with that Psychic Critical at the end :)

"Blog" Part 8: Bringing Giovanni to the Ground

After my victory over Blaine, only 1 gym leader remained, and he was near home! Off to Viridian City I went~ After an annoying 20 minutes, I reached the gym, and fought the trainers inside. I arrived at Giovanni, and despite beating him twice already, he insisted that we fight once more for the badge. So we did.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDB2uRj4yrs

I was lucky that all those Horn Drills missed, haha. I knew what was next: Victory Road, and then the Elite 4. So I prepared to set out, and wondered why there aren't more bug pokemon in the world :(

OMG why didn't I see this earlier!?
Anyways I am going to start but I have a question before I choose my type.
If I choose Psychic say, do I need to stay with Psychic for all the Generations, or onyl the first one then I can swap?
I am assuming you need to keep the one but just want to clear it up.
I will dig out my games later and pick my type before updating you guys here.

moments. December 20th, 2008 12:19 AM

The Journey to the Top is a Rocky Road :
I started my adventure doing what no one has dared to before, I began my monotype adventure using the Rock type.
After choosing Bulbasaur as my starter Pokemon, I began my journey through the various routes taking out my opponents with ease. Brock was a piece of cake and fell hard to my Vine Whip and Leech Seed attacks.
I made haste to Mt Moon where there awaiting my arrival was a plump Geodude. I battled the Geodude and it was quite a battle, finally I was able to haul a Pokeball at him capturing him on the spot, I named this Geodude, 'Rocky' inspired by Rocky Balboa (also because he is a rock type and rocky was the obvious pun to include in my team).
I have only recently began training Rocky against numerous trainers inside and outside Mt Moon defeating them with ease. Rocky takes hits hard and punishes them back using his fists of solid rock.

Current Team :

Rocky
