Argh, why does stuff always happen when I'm NOT present? Seems like I live in the wrong time zone.
So: Thanks for helping out Gold, welcome to ... actually everyone in this thread since I have been to lazy for welcome greetings up to now. Same goes for winning congratulations.

You can't be on all the time, it's perfectly acceptable. I was probably on at 11-12 pm last night which is kind of late. I'll update this with my upcoming stuff later.

An update from my progress lastnight. Since my last update, I caught a Bellsprout and named her Orchana.

* ~ Falkner ~ *
Battle Participants: Lumeran/Spinarak Lv. 16, Orchana/Bellsprout Lv. 11
- Pidgey fainted after two Poison Stings, piece of cake.
- Pidgeotto was a bit harder, but luckily, Lumeran's Poison Sting poisoned on the very
first turn. He withstood two Gusts before poison KO'd Pidgeotto.
- Orchana didn't even get a chance to fight. Lumeran stole the battle. Brave little Spinarak. owo

* ~ Bugsy ~ *
Battle Participants: Lumeran/Spinarak Lv. 19, Orchana/Bellsprout Lv. 18
- Metapod got Night Shade'd.
- ...so did Kakuna.
- ...and Scyther.
- Wow. Again, Orchana didn't get a single minute in battle. Who knew a Spinarak could kick so much ass? xD

* ~ Ryoji ~ *
Oh yay. My rival... =__=
Battle Participants: Lumeran/Spinarak Lv. 20, Orchana/Bellsprout Lv. 18
- Gastly got Night Shade'd. This is getting repetitive...
- Zubat got Night Shade'd too. I'm surprised how useful that move actually is. :3
- Orchana finally gets a chance to fight, and destroys Croconaw with a couple of Vine Whips. Easy~

Cyndaquil finally gets a use (temporarily) on my team as the Cut slave. But of course, he'll be replaced by a better and more useful HM Slave later on. ;D

Huzzah!! Lumeran evolves! :v

And...

*insert Final Fantasy victory theme here*

- Current Team -
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbc168.gif
LUMERAN ♂ Lv.22
- Poison Sting
- String Shot
- Night Shade
- Constrict

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbc070.gif
ORCHANA ♀ Lv. 21
- Vine Whip
- Growth
- Wrap
- Sleep Powder

I'm actually enjoying keeping a log of all of this. xD Most fun I've had on these games in a long time!

Kbengal February 17th, 2010 2:03 PM

Another update...

I moved from Goldenrod up to Ecruteak City. I cleared the route to the left and went to Olivine City. I defeated all of the trainers in the lighthouse then traveled back to Ecruteak.

I had already gotten surf. I beat the Gym with ease. My only problem was his Gengar, but it wasn't very hard because it put my Haunter to sleep, then I switched in Golbat and it tried using dream eater, but it failed. I then confused it and bit it to death :P. After that I surfed across, didn't really fight many trainers (like 3?). I've beaten the gym trainers but I need to get strength first.

Team:

Togepi Lvl. 22
Growl
Charm
Metronome
Sweet Kiss

Noctowl Lvl. 26
Hypnosis
Growl
Reflect
Peck

Golbat Lvl. 26
Leech Life
Supersonic
Bite
Confuse Ray

Haunter Lvl. 26
Hypnosis
Lick
Curse
Night Shade

Eevee Lvl. 20
Tackle
Tail-Whip
Sand-Attack
Growl
HM Slave (Totodile) Lvl. 6
Cut
Surf

I haven't used any TMs yet, all the moves on every one of my pokemon are pretty bad so far except Night Shade and hypnosis..

Edit: Beat Chuck, was pretty easy with Haunter, I need to make it a Gengar somehow. Jasmine was tough, I had no super-effective moves and the only good move was Night shade that would work. I lost the first time. I luckily won the second time. First 2 magnemites were easy, hypnosis and 3 night shades each. Steelix tough as usual. I used hypnosis without fail (so lucky) and used curse. Curse is probably the most effective move my team has. It woke up 2 turns later and killed me. I put in eevee and tried to get as many sand-attacks off that I could, and I got 2. Then it died so I put in Golbat, and the last curse effect killed Steelix, my team needs some more grinding now.

Haunter Lvl. 29
Same move set as before.

Golbat Lvl. 28
Same as before

Noctowl Lvl. 28
Same except fly instead of growl

Togepi Lvl. 23
same as before

Eevee Lvl. 20
Same as before

HM Slave
same as before

And in my PC is Shuckle, that has strength.

Another Update:
Caught Red Gyarados. Defeated Team Rocket and caught an Electrode (most likely in-use) Defeated Mahogany Gym.

Levels/pokemon are the same just 1-2 levels higher.

Brendino February 18th, 2010 9:55 PM

Seeing as I've never tried a team challenge before, this one sounds like a good one to start with. I was actually quite lucky with the word that I generated:

Rival /ˈraɪvəl/ :
a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor.

I've decided that I'm only going to use Pokemon that were owned by the rival of the original games, Blue (owned in either R/B/Y or G/S/C).

Can't wait to hear some updates, threads been sort of inactive a little bit lately :P

I'll update on this post later. Could of probably been to 8th gym by now but i dont feel like it lol

Well, I got through Ice Cave and did the Radio Tower mission. I don't know why the old man won't get out of my way, any tips? Do I need to catch Ho-Oh? I don't want to catch it if I don't have to.

jklm514 February 20th, 2010 12:58 AM

Think carefully before you act.

mondays suck February 20th, 2010 3:05 AM

@ Brendino: Welcome to this challenge. Yes, rival is a pretty lucky word, even though it doesn't leave you that much options.

@ Kbengal: Which old man? The one in front of Dragon's Den (the only one I ca think of now)? You have to beat Clair first.

@ jklm514: That is of course a good wordly wisdom, but... why here?

11wildy February 20th, 2010 3:38 AM

I finally got some time to play, I'm really busy lately, so don't expect daily updates.

Caught my Geodude, I'll beat Falkner and then I'll grind up for the Sprout tower, I expect a few complications there. Falkner should be easy if I don't get Mud-slap haxxed too much.
beat Falkner, he didn't get any chance to attack.
Sprout tower was udnerleveled and thus easy.

team:
Geodude lvl 16
Magnitude
Rock throw
Tackle
Defense Curl

oops, i didn't mean old man, i meant the guy in front of the gym

mondays suck February 20th, 2010 5:45 AM

But you said that you already finished Radio Tower, so he should be gone

bustin February 20th, 2010 8:23 AM

could someone generate me a word? I dont see a link on the original post

mondays suck February 20th, 2010 8:29 AM

Weird, I can still see the link...
Your word will be dire, pretty cool one. Welcome to this challenge.

bustin February 20th, 2010 8:47 AM

1.causing or involving great fear or suffering; dreadful; terrible: a dire calamity.

2.indicating trouble, disaster, misfortune, or the like: dire predictions about the stock market.

these 2 meanings could have things to do with pokemon but I cant think of any for either one

mondays suck February 20th, 2010 9:15 AM

I'd say you could use Pokemon that people would be afraid of if they would really exist. Pokemon like Ariados, Golbat and Gyarados (Gyara even fits the other parts of the definition). And there are more.

bustin February 20th, 2010 9:33 AM

alright well I guess totodile sticks with the scary pokemon theme so I can use that I guess the rest I'll get as i see em I really dont wanna go the tyranitar and ursaring route but ill probablly end up using one

Kbengal February 20th, 2010 11:44 AM

Beat the 8th gym...and went to pokemon league...I accidently opened up something else and forgot to save. Pretty damn pissed right now. I'll get back to it tonight -.-

Esp1222 February 20th, 2010 12:35 PM

I think I'm changing my word. Using dark/ghost/nocturnal pokes is boring because you have a lot of simiarities in weaknesses and strengths. I'll post my new word later.

Edit:
New word: Gust. I'm going to use pokes that can either learn Gust or flying pokes.

First two words:

on "Average": I got Mitochondria. who goes with that? redo!
on "Common": I got Medical. Could only think of Chansey, so no...

11wildy February 22nd, 2010 9:52 AM

really small update. I went from Violet city to Azalea. I was level 20 even before entering Azalea, so I guess I won't have any problems there. I also did the team rocket stuff already.

Team
Geodude lvl 21
Rock throw
Magnitude
Tackle
Selfdestruct

seal February 22nd, 2010 11:48 AM

i got the word "ocean", only water pokemon for me then:

planned team
Feraligatr
Gyarados
Slowbro
Dewgong
Lanturn
Lapras

Allstarbarto February 22nd, 2010 7:56 PM

I got the word "ditch" so i'm thinking i'll use ground types since they can make big ditches and i'm doing the monotype challenge for ground anyways what a coincidence XD o ya and they're my favorite type!

Kbengal February 23rd, 2010 11:20 AM

I don't know if I should continue doing mine or start over with a new word...because this party is really boring, flying and ghost types aren't my style.

myrrhman February 23rd, 2010 10:33 PM

This looks pretty fun!

I did adjective and got acknowledged. I think I'm only going to use pokemon that are used by an elite four member or gym leader of one of the first two generations.
Planned team:
Pidgeot
Alakazam
Machamp
Gengar
Golem
Starmie

11wildy March 3rd, 2010 12:02 PM

lol, why is this at the second page? XD

I found some time to beat the second gym. It was easy, but now I can't find a Pineco. Any ideas on why? Can I hack one into my game?

Team:
Graveler lvl 25
Rock Throw
Magnitude
Headbutt
Selfdestruct

Editman March 3rd, 2010 12:07 PM

May i have a word, please
