Playing with just 1 Pokemon
Has anyone, other than me, tried to play through and beat the entire game with just one Pokemon?
For example, you use only one Pokemon to fight throughout the entire game, but you have a few other Pokemon that you use for their hidden moves, and you use them only outside of battle for their hidden moves (HM slaves). If you've tried it, share your stories! I completed the game with just Infernape, and he was at level 97 after beating the E4 and Cynthia. |
You'll see how hard it is once you encounter some elite 4 water pokemon :P
|
Only Infernape? That's easy. Try it with a Chatot or Dunsparce. I did all of Pokemon Sapphire using a nincada and then a ninjask. Swept the Leet 4. he was level 80. sigh...then my crappy diamond screwed up the migration and now he's trapped between dimensions somewhere.
|
Single Pokémon runs are very common within the online fandom. I've never tried one myself, but I've heard of people ending up with their Pokémon in the 80s and 90s in terms of level after the Elite Four challenge (as evidenced by DunderMifflinite).
|
Not at all. Though it would prolly be hax to do it all with one, this game pretty much encourages more variety.
|
i did that alot bak n saphire
swept thru w sceptile lv 83 its not as hard as most wud think |
I haven't tried it in d/p yet, All the pokemon are still pretty new so I like trying all of them out.
On my FR right now though, I'm going through the game with just a Blastoise. I just got through the SS anne, and he's level 40. I might catch a clefairy too though. 2 pokes would be fun.. It's a good break up from having to level up all 6. |
I did it with a ditto. I am at the elite four currently. I believe its like 70+ at the end of the video series. Don't remember.
|
A ditto? that's awesome! I haven't tried any of this yet, but I think I will, just to see how it works. I might overwrite my Pearl to do it.... I don't to restart my Platinum Version.
|
I beat Pokémon Pearl using only a Hoppip :)
|
O.O that's so awesome, it's scary!
|
thats how all my pokemon are over 90 i started a new game on pearl focused on one pokemon sent it to my diamond and when i had done loads i sent them back to pearl
|
It shouldn't really be done. Playing with more Pokemon makes the games easier for me IMO.

But it wasn't truly "solo," since there were a few times he fainted and I used the other pokemon to revive, heal, etc. But Torterra basically did all the fighting. Between grass and ground moves (and Crunch), he seems pretty strong against everything in the game. |
Completed Platinum only with Cherrim and two Magikarp HM slaves (yeah, hacked the HM'S on them when I got the actual HM, rather than carry more Pokémon and tempt myself into using them). Everything on Cyrus' team in Super Effective (okay, bar Gyrados, but he's the strongest...!) against her. *mumbles angrily*
Platinum is the longest game so far (right...) so I'd say anyone could do it. It actually makes the game hard, rather than complaining the games are too easy, they should give it a go. |

But keep in mind Infernape is also a Fighting type...so i can use those moves against Water types. It'll be hard but I'll load up on Hyper Potions xP. Quote:

Tried andddd failed :S
I would like to try and do all of it :D it'd be a pretty good challenge ^_^ |

Feraligatr on my Gold game I didn't really mean to all the rest of my pokemon pretty much died constantly throughout the game with none of them leveling unless I revived them ended up with a lv. 100 Feraligatr and the rest of my team being in the lv. 30 range because of exp share xD

Nah, I haven't done that since the first generation. However, I did beat story mode with only two Pokemon:
Pearl Version: Torterra & Azelf Platnium Version: Infernape & Garchomp |
I have never tried it before, but I must say it must be pretty hard to do if your not a high level. xD :)
|
It's hard at the beginning (like Roark MURDERED my Cherrim (then a Cherubi) about 20 times until I beat him). The tip is to invest all your money in Potions. Revives are waste of time as you should be using the other Pokémon at all.
And generally, the Pokémon should be UU or NFE - because of course its going to be too easy if you use an Uber ¬¬; Besides its cooler to say you completed the whole game using Magikarp etc. |
Complete the game using Smeargle. That would be a fun one.
It would be just like playing with a Blue Mage. |
I remember in my gold i went through the whole game with just my ampharos i havent tried doing it in this gen games maybe i should give it a try maybe with just a garchomp but maybe something else
