The Pokemon Acquisition Challenge
 
The Pokemon Acquisition Challenge
In an attempt to make the game seem more like what goes on in the actual tv show, as well as just give players a different kind of challenge, i have created the "Pokemon Acquisition Challenge" in which players can only use pokemon given to them by NPC characters in the game.

Rules:
- Only G/S/C versions
- Emulators are allowed
- You can only use pokemon aquired through other in-game NPCs (i.e. Oaks starter, bills Eeevee, Tyrogue, etc)
- you may use ONE other pokemon of your choice
- you may not use legendary pokemon ( ho-oh, lugia, 3 dogs, mewtwo)
- you may not use TMs on aquired pokemon ( chosen pokemon ok)
- Sudowoodo, Snorlax, and Lapras may be used as an acquired pokemon
- you may use pokemon acquired in trades with NPCs
- you may use an alternate pokemon to SURF through the cave and acquire Lapras, then discontinue use of that pokemon
- HM slaves are allowed
- notify me when you beat the Elite Four so i can label it next to your name, however the entire challenge is completed when you defeat Red.

These Are NOT Acquired Pokemon:
- pokemon from bug catching contests
- pokemon from the Game Corner
- pokemon from eggs (except togepi, mystery egg)
- Red Garydos
- Pokemon caught in swarms

carry out discussions and progress on your adventures here, screenshots are nice. dont fear of spamming, just keep discussion going. be social and active.

list your current team with each update:

welcome aboard Fire Wolf!

Fire Wolf November 30th, 2009 11:27 PM

Uh, may I know, when does this challenge end? After Elite Four or after Red, also can I know is there any Water type aquirable? (except for Vaporeon and Feraligatr.)

zapht December 1st, 2009 12:02 AM

ah well after you finish the elite four tell me and ill label it next to your name, and then when you beat red ill label you "completed." so i mean you can stop at the elite four if you want, or continue.

as for water types i hadnt noticed that and since u need them to complete the game i will make Lapras available as an acquired pokemon. thanks for bringing that up!

mondays suck December 5th, 2009 6:44 AM

So, i completed the Common Pokemon challenge, so i can restart Crystal now for this challenge. I'll start soon.

And i've a question: What about Game Corner Pokemon? I've not seen anyone using them yet, doesn't that game corner person count as an ingame NPC?

Ah, whatever, time to post some progress (like anyone else here, i'm using screenshots):
First, i did stuff which i'm to lazy to tell in details now (and didn't take any screenshots of), this resulted in beating Falkner with my Bayleef called Sauerkraut. It was quite easy.

I obtained the Togepi egg, and went through Union Cave to Azalea. There, i - of course - beat Team Rocket, Bugsy (took me some attempts), and my rival called Silver (because i just pressed start when i had to name him)

Then, i obtained the Cut HM from some dude in Ilex Forest and caught me a Sandshrew (didn't find any Paras or Oddish in the forest and didn't want to go back to bellsprout areas) which i taught it.

After crossing the Forest, i first beat some trainers and then got a Spearow which i should use to deliver a mail to some random guy near violet. Of course i'm keeping it instead. Shortly after this, Togepi finally hatched, i called it Omelette. Then, after getting the Radio and Bicycle (which i forget in most playthroughs), i went into the daycare and got another egg, which hatched into an Elekid (i had saved before the daycare guy so he doesn't give my something normal-typed, but got Elekid on first attempt). I had no idea what to call Elekid like because it doesn't remind me of any food, so i googled 'Elekid Nickname' and the first result was "
call it stuf u i wold". I don't really understand what this means, but that's what i called it like because i had no own ideas.

After that, i just for the heck of it brought the letter to the guy near Violet, but it was held by Sandshrew instead. Pretty stupid by me, because that means i had to catch another HM slave, and again, it was a Sandshrew, the first thing that can learn Cut and i met after realizing there's a Cut tree in Ilex Forest making it impossible for me to get back to Goldenrod.

Back at Goldenrod, i bought me Ice and Fire Punch TMs for StufUIWold (whatever that name means), and even got a free Return TM (Sunday is the default day when the protagonist's mother asks which day it is...), apparently Bayleef is pretty happy.


My team so far:

Sauerkraut / Bayleef m Lv. 27 @ Miracle Seed

No, I'm not teaching Return to Bayleef, it's going to learn Body Slam soon, and i want the paralysis chance more than sheer power.

Metronome has already hit Thunder against a Pidgey (it hit even though i had like -4 Acc), Hydro Pump (hit), Hyper Beam (crit, against a Metapod), 2 Bides in a row, Spore, Extremespeed.... Really the most fun move to use ever.

Bird with Swift and Mud Slap, this is looking familiar for anyone who read my team in the common pokemon challenge. But in contrast to the Pidgey i had there, Spearow is going to get Drill Peck later on, or maybe Return if i manage to faint it not too often...

Hey, change my game to Crystal.
I will still use Chikorita but change the game. Thanks. :)

mondays suck December 5th, 2009 11:40 AM

I decided to drop Togepi from my team, Metronome might be a funny move, but it's just too unreliable. (i got Fissure on a Juggler's Voltorb and it hit, but that doesn't always happen, most of the time i get useless stuff like Bide, Agility or Spike Cannon)
Beat Whitney, she gave me some trouble, but at the end, Bayleef won this close battle for me. After getting access to Ecruteak, i first got the Eevee from Bill, and then the Qwilfish fisher's number by going through Mt. Mortar (too bad i can't access the Black Belt with Tyrogue yet...) While driving around quite some time (and beating all the trainers between Ecruteak and Olivine), but after not playing for maybe 10 minutes while not knowing the game was still running, i finally got my phone call, apparently it depends on time and not on steps... Passed Mt.Mortar another time and finally evolved my Eevee, which has by the way the extremely uncreative nickname Vappy.
I forgot taking screenshots, except for after beating Whitney.

After beating the rest of the lighthouse, my rival and Morty's gym with mainly Vaporeon, it had finally catched up to the rest of my team.

Then, i should have headed to Cianwood, but i decided to do the Mahagony stuff first. So, i got my Hidden Power TM and found out my Pokemon's Hidden Power types (except for Electabuzz, which doesn't need any more coverage). None of them was really good, so i decided to keep the TM for future team members. One dead red Gyarados, some defeated Rockets, an Evolution (Elekid->Electabuzz) and 3 suicidal Electrodes later (high speed+Screech+surviving a hit+Selfdestruct = lolrape), i was finally able to enter Pryce's gym.

The gym was pretty easy, Bayleef (which evolved somewhere in there) and Electabuzz destroyed it without much effort, the only thing that caused little trouble was a Swinub that got freezehax.

On to Cianwood, i'll get my next team member there, Shuckle (or at least i'll test it and see how well it does)

So, after beating all trainers on that ridiculously huge water route, i finally challenged Chuck, Kenya had no trouble at all to beat him. Shortly after, i got my 7th badge by defeating Jasmine, she was even easier.

Then, it was Team Rocket time again, so some minutes later, team Rocket was defeated again and Meganium was underleveled, it really doesn't like all the Poison types...

already had went to Blackthorn before, so i just had to fly there and challange the gym. Clair wasn't as easy as the previous gym leaders. Vaporeon easily destroyed the Dragonairs, but no one in my team could really take on Kingdra. Luckily, today it's favorite move was Smokescreen, so Kenya could Swift it to death. After getting the badge and a new team member, a Dratini in Dragon's Den, i'm now heading back to Mt. Mortar, to get my final team member, Tyrogue.

Sauerkraut / Meganium m Lv. 38 @ Miracle Seed

No, Meganium really doesn't work against Poison types... This will change as soon as i get the Earthquake TM.
Not really sure what do put on the last slot, since Synthesis can be done better by Potions...

Maybe i'll drop Fearow, and let Dratini take it's place as this teams Flying type... But it will take quite a while to evolve Dratini into Dragonite, so maybe i'd better keep Fearow.

I could have gotten Dratini a lot earlier in the Game Corner, but i wasn't sure whether it's allowed or not, so i'm using this one now. Waterfall will be deleted as soon as possible, i just need it for Mt.Mortar and the Tohjo Falls, and Krabby can't learn it...

Fire Wolf December 6th, 2009 6:16 AM

From my previous post:


Reached Mt. Silver, challenged Red, lost since my team was exactly Lv. 50, trained a bit, team is same, movesets are same except for Allan learning Flamethrower, Gael learning Thunderbolt (i started on friday night, knowing that I can't catch Lapras that day, I put the day as Thursday, which meant today is Saturday, and the Tutor was there) and Phillip learning Blizzard. I trained Riley and Allan to Lv. 60, others are Lv. 50.
mondays suck, Electabuzz learns Thunderbolt in it's 40's, so you'll soon get a better electric move. You could also use a random Gyarados caught at Lake of Rage as your slave for Strength, Whirlpool and Waterfall, though those HM's aren't required in Kanto. And wait, wtf, my Vaporeon didn't even want to learn Aurora Beam.

And this post:

So I'm the first one to complete :D

Maybe you evolved your Eevee after the level Vaporeon learns Aurora Beam?
Congrats anyways.
Oh, and about the slave... I'm keeping Krabby, deleting Dratinis Waterfall will require less effort than catching a Gyarados.

After a (very) little break from playing, i'm now the proud owner of a Tyrogue with HP Ghost, which is acceptable. I don't know yet how powerful it is, since all i hit with it was a Rattata up to now... Before i can go to the Elite 4, i'll first have to train Dratini and Tyrogue into their 30s...

So, i beat the Elite 4 by using the good old walk in, black out, and try again strategy since i don't have to care about happiness (the stupid thing about this is that i now lost all my money which i would have needed for the move tutor, whoops....)

I still don't understand the nickname, but thanks to decent stats and surpreme coverage, Electabuzz has taken over the leading position in this team, closely followed by...

Vaporeon, of course. Which was by the way the first one to reach level 50, but then Electabuzz almost Solo-ed the E4 when i finally won and took over.

Phobia / Hitmontop m Lv. 37 @ Amulet Coin
~ Counter

Ok, if one of my team members sucks, then it has to be Hitmontop. Mainly because it has no real STAB, Rock Smash is a joke. At least HP has a pretty high Power, ~60 i think
About the nickname... I was uncreative again, so i gave it the name of the song i was listening to when i nicknamed it.
And there's no Hitmontop Crystal sprite on Bulbapedia, so i'm using the Gold one.

560cool. December 6th, 2009 12:07 PM

I'm sory this is not an update but...

From now on I won't be posting pics . It is too frustrating to stop and make pics . Maybe only when I'm gonna beat Gym Leaders , NOOB or Lance and Red I'll post screenshots .

Hey, i just said that my Hitmontop doesn't do very well in battles (ok, not exactly in the nicest way...), and regret that i didn't get a Hitmonlee instead, which i have made good experiences with before...

But it's getting Triple Kick soon (i think), so wait...
If it (with STAB) has 15 Power on the first hit, 30 on the second and 45 on the third...
And it has 90% Accuracy...
Then it should have...
10% - 0 Power
9% - 15 Power
8.1% - 45 Power
72,9% - 90 Power
Average: 65.724 Power

Right?
~66 Power doesn't sound too bad, but without STAB that's 44, not much more than most priority moves have... So maybe i should have even gone with Hitmonchan, for Mach Punch...?

Esp1222 December 7th, 2009 3:27 PM

Yeah. If I get Tyrogue, I want a Hitmonchan.

zapht December 7th, 2009 3:30 PM

im getting hitmontop just cuz hes my fav. im not worrying about power im just playin with am favs. thats why i kepy togepi (which is now togetic :D)

Not all, it has a 12.5% chance of getting a Shiny in the odd egg.
How about TogeTickle?

1 - can you trade pokemon to other games to evolve them?
2 - what exactly is the tm rule? i've seen a bunch of teams that look like they used tms, but it says we cant on acquired pokemon...

Sauerkraut / Meganium m Lv. 48 @ Miracle Seed

Didn't change, but is more useful in Kanto than it was in Johto.

Kenya / Fearow f Lv. 49 @ Amulet Coin
~ Fly
~ Swift
~ Drill Peck
~ Mud Slap

Finally a Normal/Flying type I'm using that's not going to have something like Fury Attack in its final moveset. Mainly used for Drill Pecking stuff and Flying to places, the rest is filler. Mud Slap is more for the Accuracy loss than the damage it does.

StufIUWold / Electabuzz f Lv. 52 @ Magnet
~ Fire Punch
~ Ice Punch

This has became even more ridiculous, now it can also hit the common Poison and Fighting types. Didn't use much (only vs Misty i think) because it was so overleveled.

mondays suck December 22nd, 2009 7:04 AM

Did some grinding in the Elite 4, just to evolve Dragonair, and then beat Red. This took me some attempts, Espeon always crippled my team enough to let the rest get destroyed by Snorlax.

Pikachu was always easy, even when it used Charm, Meganium still 2HKOd it with EQ. Next was always Venusaur, Fearow never had trouble with it (superior speed+Fly lols at Solarbeam without sun). Then Electabuzz 2HKOd Blastoise that most of the time set up rain in it's only turn. Then came Espeon, and it always caused me trouble. After numerous attempts I finally beat it with a combination of Meganium's Light Screen and paralysis from Body Slam, Vaporeon's Sand-Attack and iirc Dragonite finished it off with E-Speed after Meganium and Vappy had died. Against Snorlax, i first let Fearow lower it's accuracy with Mud Slap, then let Hitmontop use 1 or 2 Rock Smashs to lower its defense and then finish it off with a successful Triple Kick. His last Pokemon, Charizard, was a joke, Dragonite utterly destroyed it, even though it got burned by some attack.

Final Team:

Sauerkraut / Meganium m Lv. 54 @ Miracle Seed

Light Screen really saved me against Red, without it Espeon would have at least 2HKOd everything. Not too useful overall, but also not too bad.

Kenya / Fearow f Lv. 56 @ Amulet Coin

More Exp was very cool, and nothing really liked getting Drillpecked. No core member, but still very useful.

StufIUWold / Electabuzz f Lv. 56 @ Magnet

MVP throughout most parts of the game, only at the end Dragonite was stronger than this.

Vappy / Vaporeon f Lv. 55 @ Leftovers
~ Ice Beam
~ Surf

My second most valuable Pokemon, incredibly bulky (except against Espeon for some reason), but still having a massive Sp.A stat.

Wyrm / Dragonite m Lv. 56 @ Dragon Fang

It got pretty decent later on. Still had the worst moves of all my Pokemon, but even against stronger opponents it couldn't kill, it was always good for support with Rock Smash so Dragonair/nite, Fearow or even Meganium could finish stuff off better.

trading will be allowed. basically your allowed to have other pokemon, you just cant use em in battle unless its a pokemon you aquired from an in-game NPC. but if you evolve a pokemon from one then its still ok.

Feel like doing this again. This time I'll focus on in-game trades, so I'll start with Chikorita again, beating Bayleef or Croconaw with nothing but an Onix (maybe even a disobeying one) seems impossible to me.



Update: Started. Got Onix. Beat Falkner, despite him having Mud Slap I managed it on the first try at level 8 or 9. Skipped Sprout Tower. Got to Azalea, Onix barely survived Union Cave with 1HP and a burn. Beat Team Rocket, beat Bugsy after numerous attempts, when Onix finally didn't disobey and decided to use Rock Throw on Scyther it was an OHKO. Beat Rival, went to Goldenrod, bought an Abra, traded it for Machop.

I hope I can manage to beat Whitney before Level 30. Morty before level 30 seems unrealistic, though... At least this will be a Steelix by then.

Female Machop is...strange.

Update: Leveled Machop a bit and beat Whitney. Easy. Did Sudowoodo stuff. Arrived at Ecruteak and went looking for a Magnemite with Metal Coat. It took eternally, but I caught one. Beat rival and Morty's first underling (Foresight =D), Machop evolved. Traded [email protected] and Machoke to another savefile and back. Beat the rest of Morty's gym, quite easily. I was lucky that Gengar's Hypnosis missed against Machamp, though...

Finished this on Crystal. Went relatively quickly and easily, though Bugsy was a nightmare with Chikorita as my starter.

Final team:

Aroma/Meganium/F/56 @miracle seed
Light Screen
Synthesis
Earthquake
Giga Drain

Smiles/Dragonite/M/56 @dragon fang
Surf
Extremespeed
Outrage
Thunder Wave

Shelly/Lapras/M/55 @leftovers
Ice Beam
Surf
Confuse Ray
Body Slam

Mags/Magmar/F/56 @amulet coin
Thunderpunch
Confuse Ray
Flamethrower
Psychic

Shady/Umbreon/F/56 @leftovers
Toxic
Confuse Ray
Attract
Faint Attack

Umbreon saved me with Snorlax. I burned 8 Hyper Potions but finally wore the beast down.

Rest of the fight was really straightforward, Blastoise luckily didn't OHKO Meganium with Blizzard, and it missed twice, allowing me to 3HKO with Giga Drain. Charizard destroyed Lapras, so Magmar saved the day with Thunderpunch.

If you don't mind, add me to the completed list! :)

Will post a screen when I have the chance.
