Amore March 1st, 2010 12:58 PM

Well that's stupid, so i'm not doing this challenge.

Alpha_Spike March 1st, 2010 1:19 PM

Rules state that your allowed to use the same pokemon so long as its not for the same type. If someone used a Lucario for steel then you can't use it for steel etc etc. Though I think if someones using something like say a gen 2 evo of something like Gligar it would be ok to use Gliscor since its not a gen 2 but that would have to be spoken over with the creator. And yes I've already stated I'll be doing gen 3 dragon using Salamence and Flygon which evolve from Trapinch and Bagon

mondays suck March 1st, 2010 2:05 PM

I didn't even read the rule that Pokemon can only be used by one person, but... Since Rock types are unpopular as hell anyways, there will probably no one care about my choices.

Update:
So, after catching my Rhyhorn and Omanyte, I first had to get them up from level 2 and 3 to something actually decent. Omanyte only had Constrict for attacking, so this was not really fun. At level 7, it finally learned Bite. Since I have a type advantage against the most Pokemon that are common early on, I decided that was enough grinding and went to Jubilife. There, I finished some more stupid miniquests like delivering a package or getting a Pokeitch that I am not really going to use anyways... And, which is by far more important, I got the Hidden Power TM and taught it to Omanyte. When it turned out to be HP Fire, I was like "Hell Yes" (Well,actually I said "Jawohl" and not "Hell Yes", but that's pretty much the same anyways), since it covers my greatest weakness, Grass. Even before I got the TM, I already fought a Pokemon of this type, a Budew. It was only 1 or 2 levels below Rhyhorn, but it could barely 2HKO after a Growth and when it could have killed Rhyhorn, it used Growth again (it is proven again and again: the AI is stupid), so Rhyhorn could finish it off with Horn Attack. Rival fight was also not much of a problem, since I started (not even on purpose, just out of habit and because it's such a good slave) with Turtwig, so he got Chimchar. Some minutes later, i arrived at Oreburgh, clicked away some more long speeches, fought some Geodudes and then could finally challenge Roark. He was easy, since I have Omanyte. It OHKOd both the part-ground types, and Cranidos barely survived, used Leer, got a Potion, but still died that turn.

Next: Some first Team Galactic encounters, and then the dreaded Eterna City will already be getting closer.



Team:

Rhynoc / Rhyhorn m Lv.10 @ /
Adamant Nature / Rock Head

- Horn Attack
- Tail Whip
- Stomp
- /
Very good nature, even though I would have preferred Lightningrod ability since I will not get any recoil moves anyways, but since Electrics are common in double battles and Omanyte is weak to that type, Lightningrod would have been actually useful.
About the nickname: well, in rememberance of the good old times, I have been playing a bit of Spyro recently, and it did kind of inspire me to choose this nickname.

Necro / Omanyte m Lv.15 @ /
Bashful Nature / Swift Swim

- Water Gun
- Withdraw
- Bite
- Hidden Power Fire
Again, the worse ability. I will not see much rain, but I definetely will suffer from critical hits. Nature is ok.
About the nickname: Because Omanyte is dead. Simple as that.

Oh i just thought, do i need to have both pokemojn from the start, as ill have to wait to get Lucario the normal way. Can i just use Infernape till then (making it harder for myself i know)
Yeah, that's fine. Just make sure you do end with Lucario and Infernape.

As for all these replies...umm...wow. I didn't think I'd get that many hits overnight. o.o It might take me a while to add that to the list...then again, you know who you are if you're in the challenge or not. But I do need to make sure no one's running the same duo.

Also, I beat Roark on the way home today and I'm getting ready for Valley Windworks.

No, you would have to stick with Gligar. That's the whole point in picking a generation. Even with all the new evos, you'd have to only choose one. Gliscor was released in the 4th generation, so a gen. II flying challenge would disallow Gliscor.

There are plenty of combinations to choose from. I'm going for something I don't really like too much. 4th generation isn't my favorite, ice types are meh, and I've never used Abamosnow (I've used Froslass though). So this duo is weird to me. They work fantastically, though.

Also, thanks to all of you guys who helped explain the rules when I wasn't around. xD

Alpha_Spike March 1st, 2010 2:19 PM

I like this challenge to the most part lol only thing I'm not too sure about would be the limit on amount but I'm still willing to give it a try =) It should be fun. Though I must admit I'm not a big fan of Flygon or Salamence but they are the only gen in which two dragons co exist that I could find. Anyway I gotta wait on a couple of things before starting my challenge but hopefully will be able to start soon.

Sydian March 1st, 2010 2:22 PM

Well, I'm online now, and since I might get grounded, PM/VM me any questions while you can. I might not get grounded, but eh. All that'll happen is my computer getting taken away. I'll still do the challenge if it is gone. I mean...what else am I supposed to do? >_>

Alright, this sounds kewl. I don't have a DS anymore, so I'll have to run it on an emulator, is that cool? I'll be able to post screenshots that way though, too. Anyways, here we go!

TB Pro
Generation: IV
Type: Ground
Duo: Mamoswine and Gastrodon
Version: Platinum

EDIT: Since I can't catch the first of my duo until the windworks, would it be chill if I just raised my Turtwig until then, seeing as it is part ground type, but I hate Torterra. Haha.

Okay, just make sure you have the Shellos before the 2nd gym and that's all you can use in there, too. :| Have fun? xD

XD Make sure to use Cheryl to the best. Level Shellos up ALOT while still traveling with her in Eterna forest. Hm maybe someone needs Ice beam or something XD. Hopefully I can start my challenge by tomorrow or sometime soon

11wildy March 1st, 2010 10:12 PM

Since Trapinch is taken I won't participate. This is stupid! why can't we just use the pokemon we want to use!

Its a challenge: Its meant to be challenging. Trapinch is only taken as a dragon but its still available for ground types

FIRST UPDATE

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dptr/dptr002.png
Player: Fire
Generation: I
Type: Fire
Duo: Ninetales and Arcanine
Version: Diamond
Play Time: 0:31

Okay, I'm using Generation I Fire Pokémon, specifically Ninetales and Arcanine. I got the eggs and two Firestones ready on my Pearl version, then began my adventure on Diamond. Started as the female character for a bit of variety, named her Fire, and the rival Water. Did the early game pleasentaries, picking Chimchar as my starter. Did the business with Rowan and Lucaas in the lab to retrieve my Pokédex, headed to the mart abd bought some Pokéballs. Caught three randomers and headed straight to the union room to retrieve my two eggs and the Pokémon holding the firestones. I walked around for a bit until the eggs hatched and immediately evolved them, so that they would learn moves that put them in good stead for the future. After that, I made my way back to the Sangdem Town pokémon centre to release the Pokémon that were holding firestones, gaining a few levels with Keeara along the way (the nickname I gave to Ninetales), and that's as far as I've got so far.

I'll periodically post updates as I do them. I'm not sure how much time I'll get to do it, but I enjoyed doing it last time so I'll do so again.

Alpha_Spike March 2nd, 2010 12:15 AM

Hey Horizon um don't want to burst your bubble but um it would have been better to not evolve them straight away lol Vulpix would have learned a lot more better moves then Ninetales: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Vulpix_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29#By_leveling_up http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ninetales_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29#By_leveling_up

But then thats just my thoughts cause I never use non damaging moves lol

Ilixia March 2nd, 2010 3:07 AM

--UPDATE1--

Ok got pretty far on my first day playing.
Started the game, named the character Ilixia and my rival Tristan. Did all the boring beginning stuff and picked Chimchar (obviously). As im not worrying about Lucario untill Iron Island I just set about training Chimchar and heading through the game. Beat Tristan outside Jublife at at somepoint along Route 203 Chimchar evolved into Monferno.
Cauught a Machop for initial HM slave and beat Roark quite easily. Healed and saved.

Team:
Lvl. 19 Monferno
Bashful Nature
-Fury Swipes
-Leer
-Flame Wheel
-Mach Punch

It's a challenge, sir. This was originally made to be different than all the mono-type/pokemon/whatever challenges, and pretty much throw them together. If Trapinch/Flygon is taken for both a dragon and ground type challenge, then yes, it's knocked out. If it's taken for only one, it's still up for grabs. We wouldn't want everyone running with the same team. If you want something where it's easier to pick your team, find another challenge. Don't complain about this one.

Anyway, I'm in Eterna Forest. No fancy updates for me til later when I can get some real game time in. Off to school. Smell ya later.

BenEary March 2nd, 2010 7:23 AM

I wanna play!
I'll do a third gen grass challenge.
Breloom and Ludicolo

Nasty Plot on Ninetales and Fire Fang/Thunder Fang on Arcanine means evolving them straight away is the best thing to do for an in-game run anyway.

empty streets March 2nd, 2010 7:43 AM

I'm giving up on this challenge for personal reasons ^^
So the water/Empoleon/Gastrodon are free now.

Pokemonmasterkoen March 2nd, 2010 8:04 AM

hello everybody I chose at the start a turtwig( is now a grotle lvl 19 named ~Forest~) and I got a budew (started lvl 5 named ~Blossom~) and now he is lvl 19 caught starly,geodude and shellos as HM Slaves(didn't train them)
and beated Roark very easy...
beat galactic in valley windworks. Now i'm on the way to eterna forest.
(My character name is Pokeman and my rival name is Damion.)

Ilixia March 2nd, 2010 12:38 PM

--UPDATE2--

From Oreburgh travelled up to Floaroma Town and the Windworks and ran Team Galactic out (Bug pokemon fail to my fire =D). Went through Eterna Forest, again making short work of the bugs and took the oppertunity of constant healing to do some training.
Arrived in Eterna City, replaced Machop with Bidoof as HM slave and taught it Rock Smash and Cut which i picked up from Cynthia
Then twas time for Gym 2, Monferno KO'd everything in 1 hit. After beating Gardenia taught Monferno Grass Knot and saved.
