Thanks, luck, that's exactly what i'll need....

Well, i reached Goldenrod, gave my Unowns some stupid nicknames so i can distinguish them better. Replaced my Water Unown by another Water Unown, because my first Water Unown's Hidden Power had a horrible Base Power, i didnt notice that before because i only used it against Geodudes, Onixes and Sandshrews. Grinded to Level 22 and attempted Whitney.
Started off with Hippie, the Grass Unown, it has a pretty high Base Power and i wanted to save my Fighting Unown for later. Clefairy was piece of Cake. A crit did even 2/3 to Miltank. Hippie died, and many others of my team died too, i hate Rollout. Hydrant the Water Unown did some damage, but not much. At the end, only Psychopath the Psychic Unown was left. I was lucky that Rollout missed and HP Psychic did enough damage to kill Miltank.
http://i34.*.com/25rl7dg_th.png
Sudowoodo will be the next miniboss, it won't be that hard, since Grass is one of my better Unowns.

Team:
:t201-d: Barbarian / Fighting Unown Lv. 22
:t201-j: Hippie / Grass Unown Lv. 22 @ Miracle Seed
:t201-b: Rockstar / Rock Unown Lv. 22
:t201-g: Polaris / Ice Unown Lv. 22
:t201-k: Psychopath / Psychic Unown Lv. 22
:t201-h: Hydrant / Water Unown Lv. 22

UPDATE:
Sudowoodo wasn't much of a problem, Hippie 2HKOd it and even the Eeveelution Girls were not that hard, not even Umbreon. Rival was easy anyway, since my team is ironically a lot better against well-balanced teams than against monotype teams.
But that wasn't everything, i was even already having the opportunity to say something like:
"Im so awesome, i beat Morty", in fact took me only 2 Attempts and that at level 26!
On my first attempt i wanted to get rid of the Gastly and the first Haunter with Psychopath, but Psychopath got paralyzed and KOd by Gengar. Rest of the team was helpless against Shadow Ball, but it didn't OHKO my other Unowns that were at full HP.
Second attempt: Started with Hydrant, which also managed to kill Gastly and Haunter, and also fainted against Gengar. Psychopath came in, survived, got a crit. Gengar had a minimum of HP left, Rockstar defeated it. The second Haunter killed Rockstar, killed Polaris and had maybe 1/3 or 1/4 left. I switched in Barbarian, hoping that that thing was stupid and uses Curse, which did of course not happen (but at least i felt better than if my last Pokemon would have been Barbarian). But Hippie, my last Unown, managed to defeat Haunter somehow, even though Haunter resists Grass.
That battle was a lot easier than i would have ever dreamed of (ok, ok, i got extremely lucky with that crit, again, but...). Hopefully Karen will be similary easy, but i'm pretty sure that won't happen...
Unowns are all level 26, Hippie is 27, it was already almost 27 when i challenged Morty.

Caught a Poliwag and trained it to level 25, because Poliwhirl can learn Strength. Surfed to Cianwood.
I attempted Chuck with my Unowns in the high 20s and lost. Went back to the ruins and catched a new Ice and Fighting Unown, the old ones were too weak. The new Barbarian is definetely better, about the new Polaris, i don't know, didn't use it a lot yet.

:t201-j: Hippie / Grass Unown Lv. 31 @ Miracle Seed
:t201-b: Rockstar / Rock Unown Lv. 28
:t201-k: Psychopath / Psychic Unown Lv. 30 @ Quick Claw
:t201-h: Hydrant / Water Unown Lv. 29 @ Mystic Water
:t201-e: Barbarian / Fighting Unown Lv. 15
:t201-w: Polaris / Ice Unown Lv. 11
:t061: Slave / Poliwhirl Lv. 25

Yes, i did unlock more Unown forms, for more diversity in the team
But i failed to solve the Charizard puzzle, maybe i'll try again later

_______________________

That thing i thought of to be a Charizard turned out to be Omanyte, no wonder i couldn't solve it. But i'm pretty sure some years ago i read that the puzzles show Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Ho-oh and Charizard...
Caught two more Unowns afterwards, another Ice one (but the second one turned ot to be the best), and a new Rock Unown (that has the same form like the old one), old Rockstar was pretty decent, but the new one is slightly better. Did a lot of grinding. Beat Chuck, he was easy with the new, better Unowns. Probably i'm gonna find a new Psychopath too, since, with STAB, it only does slightly more than Hippie or Barbarian, the strongest ones, on a neutral hit. Beat Red Gyarados (After 2 Dragon Rages Rockstar had 1 HP left, whew...), beat Rockets (the Murkrow wasn't able to cause problems, either Rockstar or Polaris OHKOd it.) and beat Pryce, with ease, since he is probably the weakest gym leader ever. Saved.
Both battles were not as epic as the ones above, so no screenshots.

Team:
:t201-j: Hippie / Grass Unown Lv. 35 @ Miracle Seed
:t201-k: Psychopath / Psychic Unown Lv. 34 @ Quick Claw
:t201-h: Hydrant / Water Unown Lv. 32 @ Mystic Water
:t201-e: Barbarian / Fighting Unown Lv. 34
:t201-w: Polaris / Ice Unown Lv. 32
:t201-b: Rockstar / Rock Unown Lv. 33
:t061: Slave / Poliwhirl Lv. 25

OMG Jasmine was so easy, Barbarian OHKOd both Magnemites, took of 2/3 of Steelix HP (one normal hit, one crit), died, Hydrant came in and destroyed the weakened Steelix. ...and with balanced teams i was always having huge problems with her, why?
http://i34.*.com/243l0er_th.png

Still no one? Well, i beat my rival in Goldenrod now. I have already been at Blackthorne and defeating trainers on that annoying Route south of Blackthorne. Caught a new Psychic Unown and it's incredibly powerful, the base power must be around 70, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to OHKO a level 7 Bellsprout at Level 5, at least if my calculations are right. New Psychopath had no problems with the Koffing guy, but my rival's Golbat and Haunter completely destroyed my Unown team, at the end only Rockstar was left, survived with low HP and it defeated Haunter. I'm already asking myself how long i will have to grind to defeat that guy with the Houndoom...
UPDATE: The Houndoom needed some attempts to be beaten, but with Quick Claw on Barbarian and Hydrant surviving one attack, i was able to defeat it.
Before entering Clair's gym, i first grinded to level 40. Beat the underlingas quite easily, mostly using Polaris and Hippie, but i needed 3 attempts for Clair herself. Polaris was able to take of the first two Dragonairs, against the third one, i sent out either Rockstar or Barbarian, since the other two are resisted and i needed Psychopath against Kingdra since it's my best damage dealer. At the end of both of the first two attempts, Kingdra had just maybe 5% HP left, in the 3rd attempt, i had maybe one attack less missing, or a Hyper Beam from Kingdra missing, i'm not really sure about that, but i won. Next i'll have to decide who i'm going to deposit for they way to the Indigo Plateau, since i'll need my Slave to get there. Probably i'll deposit Hydrant for that time, since there are a lot of water trainers on the way, and it doesnt cover any of my rivals Pokemon (argh, i'll meet that annoying Golbat and Haunter AGAIN....)

Team:
:t201-j: Hippie / Grass Unown Lv. 40 @ Miracle Seed
:t201-h: Hydrant / Water Unown Lv. 40 @ Mystic Water

:t201-g: Psychopath / Psychic Unown Lv. 40 @ Quick Claw
(:t061: Slave / Poliwhirl Lv. 25)

I think my team can stay like this now, all my current Unowns have Powers between quite decent and extremely good

And yes, i know that the Blackbelt and Hard Stone items are not 'legit' and i changed to date to obtain them, but i wasn't in the mood of waiting to get them

TheNameLess October 12th, 2009 10:09 PM

I heard that I needed to post here and not in the other monotype topic, so here it is:

I would like to join the flying challenge on crystal

Edit:

first update:

Started on crystal
Chose a boy
Named it Daan
Rival name: Mike

~ Sarted with totodile
~ cathed hoothoot lvl. 3 (stupid clock, I want a pidgey)
~ deposited totodile
~ cathed zubat
~ continued journey like normal while training pokemon
~ Beat falker

Team ATM:

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/13/Spr_2c_163.gif
name: hoothoot
lvl: 11
Moveset:

name: zubat
lvl: 10
Moveset:

Pretty bad team off course, especially the zubat which is pretty much useless at this point, however, it is a start.

also, this is my first challenge so I hope you guys can help me out if I'm doing anything wrong.

nothing special yet ofcourse but update 2 will be at the end of today.

mondays suck October 13th, 2009 1:01 AM

I can't see anything you're doing wrong, but i recommend you to use a Hoppip (in case you didn't already plan to use one, but were not able yet because it was night), it might be a pain to train, but Leech Seed + Sleep Power does REALLY help in important battles, for example against the Steelix.

_____

I'm planning to replace my Water Unown by something else, it doesn't cover anything others don't cover.

Normal: Fighting
Fire: Rock, Water
Water: Grass
Electric: -
Grass: Ice
Ice: Rock, Fighting
Fighting: Psychic
Poison: Psychic
Ground: Water, Grass, Ice
Flying: Rock, Ice
Psychic: -
Bug: Rock
Rock: Water, Grass, Fighting
Ghost: -
Dragon: Ice
Dark: Fighting
Steel: Fighting

An Unown with Hidden Power Ghost would be the one that covers most of the types i can't hit super-effective yet, but that thing would be a real pain to train since Normal types are so common....
And Water would help agaist the Houndoom, but apart from that it doesn't anything...

FireRed Supergiant October 13th, 2009 5:33 AM

I want to start a Water-type challenge, but I have a question about evolution rules.

I want to have a Feraligatr that knows Crunch. I have a male Pupitar which knows the move in another game, ready to go. Can I trade it in for breeding purposes when I get to Goldenrod? I obviously won't be using it for battles.

mondays suck October 13th, 2009 5:46 AM

Sure your Feraligatr won't be a bit overpowered when you already get Crunch at Goldenrod?
I don't mind if you trade that Pupitar, so have fun with your Crunchaligatr

UPDATE: I finally beat the Elite 4! And to show the whole world how awesome even Unowns can be, i recorded the battles and uploaded them =D
Grinded to level 55 before i entered Will's room.
My new Ghost Unown, Spiritus, destroyed his team.
Koga was harder, Forretress just didn't want to die, but against Crobat i was lucky and didn't miss too much
Bruno was easy too, only Machamp survived one hit from Psychopath.
Even Karen wasn't too hard, Rockstar outspeeded Houndoom and survived a Crunch.
Polaris KOd Lance's first 2 Dragonites, Rockstar did the rest.

I just beat Blue. Everything in Kanto was pretty easy, except for Arcanine, which gave me some trouble, but somehow i managed to beat it. Talked to Oak, so i can access Mt. Silver now, but i'm pretty sure i'll need A LOT of grinding before, Snorlax is just too powerful...

[email protected] Leftovers, probably i should better get back the Quick Claw...
And Barbarian isn't underleveled because it's weak (in fact it's one of the strongest Unowns), it's just that Psychic, Flying and especially Poison types are EVERYWHERE in Kanto...

FireRed Supergiant October 15th, 2009 2:01 PM

Went south of Violet City
Cleared Union Cave
Contacted Kurt
Cleared Slowpoke Well
Defeated Gym #2: Bugsy
Defeated Rival before Ilex Forest

I completely forgot about the Rival battle. It’s really hard to beat a Bayleef knowing razor blade when your only strong pokemon’s only non-water attack is freaking double-slap. Hypnosis plus some luck saved the day.

Current Team
--Sheik: L23 Poliwag (Water Gun, Hypnosis, Bubble, Double-slap)
--L11 Totodile (Scratch, Leer, Rage)

In Ilex Forest, retrieved Farfetch’d
Received Cut, taught it to Totodile
Back to Ilex, received Headbutt, taught it to Sheik
Cleared Ilex Forest
Received Odd Egg (PS: I’m playing Crystal)
Back to Ilex, captured a Paras for trade bait
Traded Paras for an out-of-game male Pupitar knowing Crunch
Bred Pupitar with Totodile, hatched the egg
Named new Totodile “Jason X”

Um…wow. I forgot that Pupitar knew lots of other moves that could be inherited by Totodile. Basically, I’m sitting on a L5 Totodile with the following moveset

  • Leer
  • Crunch
  • Rock Slide
  • Thrash

As for the plan of not using wildly upgraded movesets until after beating Morty, that still stands. I’ll use the original Totodile and just keep Jason X in my back pocket until then, and continue to let Sheik continue his bull rush rampage through the hapless game trainers.

Evolved Sheik into Poliwhirl
Beat Gym #3: Whitney (really easy, just used Rain Dance and Water Gun)

mondays suck October 16th, 2009 3:47 AM

I just attempted Red without doing any grinding before, for fun and to see who causes problems to my team. And i won. Even though my strategy was pretty lame.
Pikachu was a bit annoying because it never missed with Thunder and Red used like 3 Full Restores on it, but it went down after some time. Espoen was more annoying, surprisingly it was able to 2HKO all my Unowns, which means OHKO after a revive. But Spiritus had a slight chance to survive by 1 HP, which saved the day for me. Snorlax was easy. I used an X-Defend on Barbarian, and stalled it by using Hyper Potions till Body Slam was out of PP. Healed my entire team while Snorlax spammed Amnesia and then finished it off. Charizard was annyoing, i had to use my only Max Revive here, so Rockstar could live a Flamethrower (by 1 HP and with a Burn) and finish Charizard off. Blastoise used Rain Dance and swept, but when the rain stopped, Hippie killed it with ease. Venusaur wasn't hard at all, i just attacked while it loaded the Solarbeam and revived when it fired it. I recorded the battle, and because i was already expecting the file would become too big to open it, i recorded 3 parts, but the first one was still too big, so all i can post is screenshots.
Spoiler:

http://i34.*.com/rk6ezp.jpg
The in-battle screenshots are that big because i had to make them while watching the battle's video. Final Team is same like in the last post, just Barbarian gained a level.

FireRed Supergiant October 16th, 2009 6:29 PM

VERY impressive, Mondays. i'm not smart enough to even know that the opponent loses PP on moves, so I never would have won that fight on account of monetary stinginess. I think I had one experience (might have even been back in RBY) when an opponent used a move more times than it had PP for, and from then on i just assumed the NPC opponents weren't subject to that restriction. but hey, good to know!

Anyway, to continue from last time...

Evolved Sheik into Poliwhirl
Beat Gym #3: Whitney (very easy, just used Rain Dance and Water Gun)
Nicknamed original Totodile "BreedBait"

North to Sudowoodo, back to Goldenrod for SquirtBottle, back to Sudowoodo
Defeated Sudowoodo
Arrived at Ecruteak
Leveled up original Totodile (now Croconaw) to L28
Defeated Kimono Girls, received HM03
Defeated Gym #4: Morty
Went east of Ecruteak, got Tully’s phone number (waiting for water stone)
Regressed to south of Violet City, trained Jason X (new Totodile) to L25
Cleared routes b/w Ecruteak and Olivine
At Olivine, received Good Rod and HM04
Went back to New Bark Town
Caught Chinchou, nicknamed it “Casper”
Cleared Sprout Tower, received HM05

Current Team
  • Jason X: L30 Croconaw (Surf, Crunch, Rock Slide, Thrash)
  • Sheik: L30 Poliwhirl (Headbutt, Rock Smash, Rain Dance, Water Gun)
  • Casper: L20 Chinchou (Water Gun, Flail, Supersonic, Thunder Wave)
  • BreedBait: L28 Croconaw (Cut, Leer, Scary Face, Bite)

BreedBait won’t be on my competition team, but he will be a handy cut slave, at least for now. I’m thinking about potentially dropping any HM slaves and just using four battlers who happen to know all the out-of-battle moves. Surf for the Kingdra I’m planning on, Waterfall/Whirlpool/Flash for Lanturn, Cut for Feraligatr, Strength/Headbutt/Rock Smash for Poliwrath. A problem is that would leave me without a slot for Thunder Wave on Casper since I want him knowing an offensive electric move. But I guess if I make it Spark, that’s pretty good anyway. Plus, I have DragonBreath planned for Kingdra and that has a 30% chance to paralyze. I guess I’ll have to see how battles go, and if things need revamping I’ll do it when I need it.

Evolved Chinchou into Lanturn and taught it Surf
Went to Cianwood
Saw Suicune, defeated Eusine

mondays suck October 17th, 2009 12:42 AM

In RBY the AI does in fact have infinite PP, i remember Giovanni's Rhydon using EQ like 20 times against me, but in GSC and later, they changed that, which makes such unfair strategies possible

EDIT 2:

Update Sunday, October 18, 2009

Spoiler:
  • Went back to Route 35 to hopefully catcha a Yanma and try that against Jasmine.
  • Wasted all my Pokeballs on a Ditto, so back to the mart I go.
  • Finally found a Yanma, Pineco evolved, Don't know if I'll use it. Deposited Butterfree for Venomoth then went on to see if the bug catching contest was on.
  • Wasn't so off to Route 33 to get a Hiker's number. Trained Yanma for a bit then went back to Olivine to battle Jasmine.
  • Decided to train alot at like 3000 fps, then went off to Olivine.
  • Beat Jasmine after like 12 times, thanks to a sleeping Magnemite, so off to Mount Mortar I go.

    http://i34.*.com/2lj47py.jpg
    Oh Stop.

  • Made it to Mahogany town, healed up real quick then left to Lake of Rage.
  • Battled and caught Red Gyarados. Put Yanma in box, took out Scyther.
  • Lance and I invaded the Rocket Hideout. Beat the rocket Exec, then beat the Rocket Lady.
  • Helped Lance take out the Electrodes, recieved HM06.
  • Made my way to battle Pryce, Hopefully Forretress' Rollout will help.

    http://i38.*.com/5e5nac.jpg
    As I am with yours.

  • Wow. That was really really easy. No Wonder Whitney Spams Rollout!
  • Scyther was at a reasonable level to evolve, So traded to another crystal, then traded back. Scizor!
  • Trained at bit, then made my way to Ice path. Made it to blackthorn.
  • Forgot Noctowl so was forced to go all the way down to Cherrygrove. Got Noctowl then flew back to Blackthorn.
  • Completley forgot what to do, considering there's a guy blocking the gym.
  • Read an online walk through, and flew back to Goldenrod to take care of some rockets.
  • Beat the Executive, so off to the underground I go, ??? suddenly showed up and demanded a battle.

    http://i35.*.com/2rosrvp.jpg
    Maybe you suck.. /:

  • Got through and saw the Director, gave me the Card key so I went back to the Radio Tower, beat the Exec's and got the Clear Bell.
  • Went to the Daycare, picked up an egg. Later hatched into a Pichu knowing Dizzy punch.
  • Deposited Pichu, and went back to Blackthorn. That man was no longer blocking the Door, so I entered.
  • Beat Claire, easily, but that may be because my pokemon are over-leveled. Went to Dragon Den, passed, and got an Extreme speed Dratini.

    http://i38.*.com/6qxnjo.jpg
    I guess so..

  • Got a call from Elm, Took out Gyrados and taught it Surf and Waterfall, and made my way back to New Bark town on Noctowl.
  • Went back to Ecruteak city and made it to Tin Tower and battled and caught Suicune in a great ball.
  • Flew back to New Bark and surfed across route 27. Got kanto map and made my way through Tohjo falls.
  • Made it to Victory Road, Silver decided to show up for a battle, and I won.

    http://i33.*.com/16kq1j7.jpg
    Oh poo.

  • Made it to the Elite Four, My pokemon are leveled rather High, So I might not lose.
  • Bought some Hyper Potions, and made my way to battle Will.. Heracross and Ariados lost pretty quickly, but Scizor and his Steel Wing won it for me.

    http://i36.*.com/2pte2o3.jpg
    Me neither.

  • Now on to Koga, who I'm pretty sure Venomoth can handle.. Venomoth took down all until his Forretress used Explosion, so Scizor stepped in and won.

    http://i33.*.com/11vqyqx.jpg
    Sure have.

  • Time for Bruno, which Venomoth's Gust or Psybeam should be able to handle, But I really should have taught him Psychic.. Just as I thought, Venomoth was the perfect pokemon to take on Koga.

    http://i35.*.com/dyumi0.jpg
    iknorite?!

  • On to Karen! I thoght Heracross' Fury Cutter or Ariados' Leech Life would do good, but No. Houndoom took em' all down.. But a speedy Venomoth again won it for me.

    http://i34.*.com/67jy4w.jpg
    Oh you..

  • Now for the Champion. I won! I used Agility on Scizor then Steel Wing on Gyarados and Charizard but got tooken out. By luck, his Charizards flamethrower didn't OHKO Venomoth and a last minute Psybeam took him down. The rest all goes to Forretress who's Rollout won it for me.

    http://i36.*.com/2eevhx4.jpg
    9000..?

  • Became champion, forgot to take a screenshot because I thought it would show all pokemon like in Fire red/leaf green, Saved game and quit. Sleep.

That screenshot is just completely epic =D


Well, yes, the purpose of this post is to bump this thread, since atm no one cares about good old GSC, everyone is into HGSS...

Maybe i'll do this again, but i won't even try to make this as spectacular as the Unown thing... I'll take Dark, and i'll trade me a Murkrow Egg, then get Eevee at Goldenrod, later catch a Sneasel at Ice Path and more later catch a Houndour. Maybe i'll raise a Tyranitar as well if i need the power against Red (and because Tar is awesome)

Exon November 5th, 2009 2:46 PM

I'd like to do Crystal w/ Psychic.

syphilis November 5th, 2009 5:27 PM

i'd like to switch from ground to normal if that's cool. i sort of "misplaced" my save file.

or deleted it...

Lostworld November 5th, 2009 5:55 PM

I'm going to try Normal monotype challenge on my Crystal version. I'll start this afternoon, school's finally finished for the year! :D

syphilis November 5th, 2009 7:19 PM

ok, so i got me a cyndaquil to start, but caught a sentret (Fancy!) and a rattata (Classy!) soon after
i then did some extreme grinding to get Fancy! to evolve, which he did. Classy! did not.
the egg i had previously received from the the aide hatched into a togepi (Pii). this caught me off guard.
i taught Pii head-butt and abused it relentlessly until it evolved.
as it loved me a great deal, i took it to the woman who gives you return if the first pokemon in your party loves you. i got return.
i caught a tauros (Tatonka) and a miltank (Hottie) and trained them on stantlers for a while.
sadly, i was forced to box Classy!
after obtaining surf and teaching it to Fancy!, i surfed to mahogany and caught a Girafarig (Palindrome).
Fancy! was put into retirement.

i just beat chuck, and it would've been easy with Palindrome there, but i decided to get all cocky and use agility and baton pass, but it was dumb because i passed it to Hottie who has respectable speed anyway. so then i got bent. but then i won.

mondays suck November 6th, 2009 7:38 AM

OK, added everyone
____
Started on Gold (which is pretty dumb because i can get Sneasel in Ice Path there, but three Crystal files at once would be a bit too much...), chose Chikorita because it does good as a HM Slave, lost to rival, caught a Pidgey and traded me a Murkrow egg (accidentally for the Chikorita, but that doesn't matter that much). Hatched it, named it Krow (here i prove my incredible creativity again). Did Sprout Tower, beat Falkner (Krow OHKOd Pidgeotto =D)

syphilis November 6th, 2009 3:10 PM

i beat lots of gyms and gained lots of levels. but i was unsatisfied, so i decided to train more in the little patch of grass before ice path where there are many grass pokemon and lickitungs. during my training, i came across a lickitung that didn't look like the other ones i had been destroying, and i finally realized it was shiny. its coloring was kind of lame, but it was shiny nonetheless, so i caught it and decided to use it. its special attack is much better than that of Hottie's, so i named it Filthy and taught it ice punch. and then i beat the elite 4. i was sort of over leveled.

Spoiler:
Began my journey w/ cyndaquil, and did all the intro work. After getting an egg, a pokedex, a new rival, and 5 free pokeballs I set out on my grand adventure. Just solo'ed with cyndaquil threw sprout tower. Cyndaquil evolved near the top, making falkner a peace of yummy cake. Made my way to the next area skipping the bridge of trainers so as to have something for my first challenge poke to level on. Made my way to kurt, and he (somehow) beat a rocket grunt allowing me to finally get the challenge started (YAY!)


Caught a slowpoke (decided not to name my pokes this run. I wanted to do some training so I went back to route 32 to train on the fishermen I had skipped. Afterward I headed to Bugsy's gym and swept the floor with my cursing slowpoke. (tho I did make a lot of PC runs to get PP back lol) Beat my pathetic rival again...(i hate lick right now...and bite...every damn thing has bite...) Chased a farfetch'd through a forest and was rewarded w/ cut. Obtained a tm02 and 'butted out an eggy. Also caught a wild abra and a wild drowzee. Trained up until the 19-21 range before taking on the gym.
-time to shorten this-


-Beat rival again in tower, met eugene and my next gym victim
-beat gym
-beat kimono girls
-decided that having drowzee wasn't going down, wanted space for others...deposited

i demolished every gym in the kanto region, but i felt my team was too low in level to deal with the true champion, red. so i trained and trained until everyone was at least lvl 70. it took all of 20 minutes, but it was well worth it...even though i lost the first time. but the second time, oh yes, i won. and it was great.

Final Team:

Pii lvl 70

Return
Psychic
Sweet Kiss

Tatonka lvl 71

Ice Punch
Thunder Punch
Slam
Stomp

Palindrome lvl 70
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbs203.gif
Psybeam
Crunch
Stomp
Shadow Ball

actually, it was some luck that helped me win. i accidentally selected ice punch when fighting red's last pokemon, blastoise, with Filthy, but somehow, through the use of the mystical coding of the game, it froze blastoise and i then ruthlessly murdered it. and then i was congratulated for it by gamefreak.

i think i might try dark now. i'll try trading over a houndour egg.

I could get the Spearow from the guard, train it and breed for a Drill Peck Murkrow, but that would take me quite long, so i won't do it, and it saves me the slot a Flying slave would require. And yes, the Berry is still the same, Krow never was below 50% HP

Update: I finally have an Eevee now. First it took an eternity to get the Egg, then i had to walk a lot of steps, in the meantime i did the burnt tower, the Kimono Girls and Lighthouse quests out of boredom. And why can't i put Krow and Paras into ONE spoiler?
