[R/B/Y/G/S/C] The Nuzlocke Challenge Thread
 
~The Nuzlocke Challenge Thread~

Hello and welcome to the Nuzlocke Challenge Thread. Here you can post about your Nuzlocke adventures and experience another new and exciting way to play your Pokemon games. The Nuzlocke Challenge can have many different rule sets to make the challenge harder or easier on oneself, but the main idea of the Nuzlocke challenge is that if your Pokemon faints, they are "dead" and you must release them or just box them away and not use them for the rest of the challenge. Really, you're goal should be to make things as hard as you honestly think you can handle and see how it goes. This thread's main ruleset will be based on my own modified rules but you can change them in any way you'd like in the spirit of the challenge.

~Rules

  1. If a Pokemon in your party faints, you must release it ASAP. You cannot use Revives.
  2. When you reach a new Route/Cave/Town/Ect. you can only catch the first Pokemon you see in that Area. You are allowed to have Pokemon in your PC box as "backup" for when you need new members to replace fainted ones.
  3. If you fail to catch the first Pokemon you see for ANY reason then you've missed out on your chance to get a Pokemon from that area. Because of this rule, you cannot catch any Pokemon on Route 1, ect. if you saw one there.
  4. You may only buy up to 10 Pokeballs from each Pokemart.
  5. You are not allowed to use Legendary Pokemon.
  6. If a town contains Gift Pokemon, you may treat these as your captured Pokemon for said area. For example, the Eevee you obtain from Bill in Goldenrod.
  7. Nickname all of your Pokemon so you have an attachment to them. "Each Pokemon is a best friend to you, to see them die is heartbreaking." (Not really a required rule, but makes things fun.)
  8. If you black out (all party Pokemon faint) and you have no backups in your PC, it's Game Over.
  9. You are not allowed to use any healing items outside of battle.
  10. You are not allowed to switch out before the trainer sends in his next Pokemon. (Change that setting in the Options Menu)
  11. No trading between games, hacking pokemon, ect. You know, stay in the spirit of the challenge...

This one I'm doing for sure right now.

Name: Myrrhman
Game Name: A
Version: Yellow

Since I'm starting now, how about an update?

Spoiler:
Named myself A and my rival LOZER (mwahahahahaha)
Attempted to get Eevee, but LOZER took it, and I was stuck with Pikachu. Decided to try to befriend it, so I named it SOCKET
Beat LOZER and realized SOCKET's potential
Miraculously didn't run into any wild pokemon on the road to viridian city.
Delivered oak's parcel.
Ran into one pokemon on the way back to viridian city, so I didn't have the chance to get Pokeballs. So close... Anyways, I bought 5 Pokeballs.
Went west and luckily ran into a level 4 Male Nidoran first. Caught it like this. Named it Comet
http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y357/mexierreman/Pokemon%20Yellow%20Nuzlocke%20Run/nidoran.png?t=1272873194
Did a ton of grinding. Both are at level 12.
Beat LOZER again. Pikachu one hit Spearow, Nidoran one hit Eevee.
Accidentally killed the Pidgey on route whatever viridian city-viridian forest is.
Caught a Metapod in the Forest (forgot to name it)
grinded said metapod until it evolved and learned confusion.
Was about to challenge brock, but after defeating the first trainer, I noticed that Comet was like 250 exp from evolving. So I took care of that really quick in the forest.
Geodude went down in 1 double kick, onix in 2. Recieved Boulder Badge.
http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y357/mexierreman/Pokemon%20Yellow%20Nuzlocke%20Run/brock.png?t=1272873249
Beat all the trainers to Mt. Moon.
Was hoping for a magical Geodude or Paras, but got a Zubat first, so I killdt it.
WTF THERES SANDSHREWS IN HERE?!?!?!?!
A Rocket's Zubat got Confusehax and Butterfree hurt itself in confusion 6 times in a row when one confusion would have killed the damned bat. I switched to Socket to take it down.
Beat Jesse and James
Meh, first Pokemon was Ratatta on the next route. Not worth having. Killed it and headed into Cerulean City.
Beat all the Gym Trainers and LOZER
Butterfree barely survived a Mankey critical hit Karate Chop.
Got Charmander, named it BLAZE
After some slight grinding, beat Misty. Socket barely survived Starmie's Bubblebeam.
http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y357/mexierreman/Pokemon%20Yellow%20Nuzlocke%20Run/misty.png?t=1272873273
2 badges is enough of an update, so saved and quit.


And my team:
Spoiler:
SOCKET the level 20 Pikachu (Thundershock, Slam, Double Team, Thunder Wave)
COMET the level 19 Nidorino (Double Kick, Tackle, Horn Attack, Poison Sting)
the level 20 Butterfree (Confusion, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, Supersonic)
BLAZE the level 10 Charmander (Scratch, Growl, Ember)


Badges: 2
Team: Pikachu, Butterfree, Nidorino, Charmander
Location: Just finished Misty's Gym

Idea for other rules (I'm using this one): No Hold Items

I could swear I read about this challenge just yesterday somewhere else, and because it looks interesting and it's about time I get back into Pokemon again, I'll try this. Gold shall be the version of my choice.

By the way, would would happen if you lose the first rival battle in the games where you can't train before it? Instant Game Over?



Update time: The challenge I saw yesterday was in a comic style, so I thought I might have so incredibly awesome and innovative idea to copy that idea.
Enjoy my awful Paint skills and even worse entertainment skills (I had some fun making it though):

Update: If it got better or even worse, you decide... What I know is that I have to shorten things down, otherwise there is going to be something like 400 episodes in the end...


More Update, but without drawings this time, it takes just up too much time and isn't good anyways:
Basically I finsihed the whole Mr. Pokemon quest and caught myself a level 3 Geodude that almost managed to kill my Chikorita.

Current team (all nicknames are rndgen'd because I'm so uncreative):
:t152:f Uskwach - Lv. 9 - Tackle, Growl, Razor Leaf - New Bark Town
:t074:f Ackiatia - Lv. 3 - Tackle - Route 46

It could be worse, Geodude will certainly help a lot against the early gyms. I'm quite worried because of Mud Slap though.

More Update: I already had met Pokemon at the first two other routes, and I was enough of a genius to kill the Bellsprout, the Zubat and the Unown (in retrospective I think I should have tried to get Natu later on instead here) I met on other places. I did manage to catch a Rattata in Sprout Tower though. So far, I have beaten Falkner (my overleveled Uskwach (who almost died at some point because of getting poisoned by a Bug Catcher's Lv.3 Weedle, but thankfully only almost) easily killed Pidgey and stalled Pidgeotto for quite a while. When I switched to Ackiatia, Pidgeotto had quite a lot of -Attack, but still full HP. Mud Slap kept annoying me, so I didn't get many hits in and switched to Worgog the Rattata instead who killed Pidgeotto with 2 or 3 Quick Attacks) and received Togepi's egg.


Current team:
:t152:f Uskwach - Lv. 14 - Tackle, Growl, Razor Leaf, Reflect - New Bark Town
:t074:f Ackiatia - Lv. 10 - Tackle, Defense Curl - Route 46
:t019: m Worgog - Lv. 10 - Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack - Sprout Tower
:t175: Egg - Violet City

Failed to catch Pokemon in: Route 29, 30, 31, Dark Cave, Ruins Of Alph


Update time again:
As I made my way down from Violet to Union cave, in the first patch of grass I came across a Mareep. I managed to catch it (lost many Pokeballs because Worgog put it down to something unfortunate like 49% HP with the first Tackle, but it was certainly worth it) Then, I managed to get to Violet without problems, even though I killed a Zubat in Union Cave with a crit. Arrived at Violet, I directly went into Ilex Forest, and caught a Caterpie. I also caught a Hoppip east of the town.
Team Rocket time. The normal trainers all went down rather easily, but the last guy with the Koffing killed my Rattata. Not my MVP, but it still would have been pretty useful later on with Hyper Fang... As a (bad) replacement, I caught a Zubat in Slowpoke Well.
In the Bug Gym, I had another loss: A Paras poisoned my Metapod, I couldn't save it. I was thinking it only had Stun Spore and Scratch, so my Metapod would be safe, but I was proven wrong. The rest of the game fell rather easily (mostly to Geodude) even though I got poisoned two times but I always managed to get to the Pokemon center in time. Even Bugsy didn't cause any problems. My rival was easy as well, Geodude had an advantage over all 3 of his Pokemon and I abused it.
On to one of the most fearsome parts of the game: Goldenrod, where Whitney awaits...


Current team (did I mention some of my Pokemon evolved):
:t153:f Uskwach - Lv.16 - Tackle, Growl, Razor Leaf, Poison Powder - New Bark Town
:t074:f Ackiatia - Lv.18 - Tackle, Defense Curl, Rock Throw, Magnitude - Route 46
:t175: Egg - Violet City

:t180:m Gethrvor - Lv.15 - Tackle, Growl, Thunder Shock - Route 32
:t187:m Iloxec - Lv.6 - Splash, Synthesis, Tail Whip - Route 33
:t041:m Erteath - Lv.8 - Leech Life, Supersonic - Slowpoke Well

Dead (placed in Box 14 instead of releasing so I still have their data):
:t019:m Worgog - Lv.12 - Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack - Sprout Tower - Koffing
:t011:m Munumon - Lv.8 - Tackle, String Shot, Harden - Ilex Forest - Paras

Failed to catch Pokemon in: Route 29, 30, 31, Dark Cave, Ruins Of Alph, Union Cave



Next Update: Finished Goldenrod stuff, and my team got some nice additions on the way there. However, I lost more than I gained, as you will see:
2 Steps after I had saved, Togepi hatched. I deposited it and Hoppip for hard times and headed to Ilex Forest again. Right after Ilex Forest, I met a Drowzee in the grass, and I caught it. A pretty lucky catch, because I could teach it the 3 Elemental Punches. I also taught Fire Punch to Gethrvor the Flaaffy and swept through all the Goldenrod stuff with them. Zubat and Drowzee devellopped into great fighters, but Zubat died near Sudowoodo because I was stupid and left it in against a Kadabra, and immediately got OHKOd with Confusion. Great. In the meantime, I caught a female Nidoran and a Pidgey, but I accidentally killed a male Nidoran. I put them onto the box.
Whitney time. i started with Uskwach and somehow managed to defeat Clefairy without losing many HP. When the dreaded Miltank was sent out, it used Stomp and Uskwach flinched and was down to very low HP, so I had to switch and went to Gethrvor, hoping to be able to paralyze it. Of course, it didn't work and Gethrvor died, which really sucks because it was one of my most vital team members. I should have sent Geodude out sooner, who defeated Miltank without problems then.
Now, I have only 3 strong Pokemon left, so I'll have to take one of the boxed guys into my team. I think I'll take Nidoran, but I'm not really sure yet...

Current team:
:t153:f Uskwach - Lv.18 - Cut, Growl, Razor Leaf, Poison Powder - New Bark Town
:t074:f Ackiatia - Lv.20 - Tackle, Defense Curl, Rock Throw, Magnitude - Route 46

:t096:f Redogut - Lv.17 - Thunder Punch, Hypnosis, Fire Punch, Ice Punch - Route 34

Boxed:
:t175:m Stikimtas - Lv.5 - Growl, Charm - Violet City

:t187:m Iloxec - Lv.6 - Splash, Synthesis, Tail Whip - Route 33
:t029:f Cerace - Lv.12 - Growl, Tackle, Scratch, Double Kick - Route 35
:t016:f Tanishi - Lv.12 - Tackle, Sand Attack, Gust - National Park

Dead (placed in Box 14 instead of releasing so I still have their data):
:t019:m Worgog - Lv.12 - Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack - Sprout Tower - Koffing
:t011:m Munumon - Lv.8 - Tackle, String Shot, Harden - Ilex Forest - Paras
:t041:m Erteath - Lv.16 - Leech Life, Supersonic, Bite - Slowpoke Well - Kadabra
:t180:m Gethrvor - Lv.18 - Tackle, Thunder Wave, Thunder Shock, Fire Punch - Route 32 - Miltank

Failed to catch Pokemon in: Route 29, 30, 31, 36 Dark Cave, Ruins Of Alph, Union Cave

Next Update: Things just went horribly wrong. First, I got Nidoran some levels up and evolved it, but it died to a Raichu that critted it to death. On level 16. Then, on Route 37 I didn't meet Stantler which would have been awesome, I met a Pidgey. Another Pidgey. I tried to level it a bit, but it died to a Growlithe. On level 16. Then, I went to Mt.Mortar, hoping for Machop. What did I get? Right. Zubat. Great. Tried to level it. Guess what? It died. At level 16. To a Pidgey this time. Next thing I got was a Rattata. It didn't die at level 16, but at level 18 to that Umbreon, because of Acchax. I managed to take out the other Kimono girls and got Surf, but when I tried to challenge my rival, things went even more wrong. Haunter wasn't hard, Drowzee OHKOd it. Magnemite wasn't hard too, even though I had to switch because of a Supersonic. But then came Zubat. I had Geodude out, and it used Bite. And critted. And Flinched. And in the next turn, it confused Geodude, which hit itself and was left with 3 HP. I switched to Drowzee and things didn't go better. There was less hax, but I still couldn't beat it. I switched to Bayleef and managed to take Zubat out with Cut, but then he sent out Quilava and easily beat my weakened Pokemon. Great.
But, I still have some Pokemon left, and while they aren't as good as my now dead old team, they are going to continue this, I'm not giving up yet.

Another day, another post.

Saved Bill after beating a few trainers.
Beat more trainers trying to get to Vermillion City. I thought there was a guy that had a Squirtle, but apparently that was just in Red and Blue, he has a Weepinbell now, and that Poisoned SOCKET. I was so far away from Cerulean City, when I got to the Pokemon Center, I looked like this.
After saving my best friend, I went back to business.
Made it to the SS Anne
Realized how much SOCKET blows after he almost fainted on 3 straight trainer battles.
Grinded above Vermilion City til I learned Thunderbolt. SOCKET is now a pimp. He one hit LOZER, save Sandshrew who took 2 Mega Punches.
Trained Blaze til he evolved West of Cerulean
Beat Surge's gym with Blaze's Dig. Had to heal a couple of times.
Surge was easy. 1st turn he uses x speed, I dig. He misses with something, I come up. He uses Mega Punch and I have low yellow health and I repeat to 2 hit him.
Got Squirtle (RIPTIDE). Taught it Bubblebeam. In Diglett's Cave, I evolved Squirtle real fast. Although, it took Squirtle, Butterfree, Pikachu, and Charmeleon combined to take out a Dugtrio. Butterfree probably could have done it on its own, but I didn't want it dying.
Went through Rock Tunnel without a hitch.
Beat LOZER really fast in the Lavender Tower. Also named Butterfree "FLUTTER"
Went to the Celadon Gym to train BLAZE some.
Almost lost FLUTTER to Poison (after Blaze was already poisoned).
Beat Erika. BLAZE is getting really strong.
Beat the Rocket Game Corner, with Blaze evolving to Charizard at Team Rocket.
Called it a day.

Ok, after some massive level grinding of my few remaining Pokemon, I tried to advance further towards Olivine City so I can finally get the Good Rod and fill up my rows again. It didn't work out really well. First, my Skiploom, on which almost all my hopes were lying, died against a goddamn Mr.Mime, and then I lost Eevee to a Slowpoke, and Pidgeotto only got out of the battle with a red HP bar. Looks like I didn't grind enough... What else is left? Not much. All my 3 (I caught a Spearow on a Headbutt Tree near Mt.Mortar during a foolish attempt to get Heracross) current Pokemon's final forms are Normal/Flying, and I have no reserves on the box left. Therefore, my dead box is probably going to be full soon. Not a very pleasant situation, but when I finally manage to get to Olivine, things will definetely get better again.

It's Pidgeotto overleveling time, I guess... Because I would like to save Spearow for later, just in case... And Togepi isn't good at all anyways.


Next Update: This time nothing went really wrong. I leveled Pidgeotto a bit, and then headed to Olivine, and made it through. On the remaining one of the two routes on the way there, I met... another Rattata. Well, that's better then nothing, and up to now it has been doing great. I leveled my Rattata a bit and evolved it, and then fished everywhere I could. The results are great: 2 Magikarps, a Chinchou and a Poliwag. I decided to take one Magikarp and the Chinchou for my team and leave the others (including Togepi and Spearow) on the box. What I am still lacking since Bayleef's death is something that can Cut, I hope Tentacool can learn that move...

Things are looking far more secure than on my last update, but I'm not going to think again I'm safe, the more awesome ones of my earlier teams also died pretty fast when their time had come...

Wow, I didn't expect this to get going so fast. I'll update when I get back from some errands. :)

Ok back. Mondays, what game are you running on? I couldn't figure it out via your posts. D:

mondays suck May 3rd, 2010 12:45 PM

Gold. I said it somewhere, but the information probably drowned in all these walls of text.

ANARCHit3cht May 3rd, 2010 2:06 PM

Can I do Crystal? I'll update shortly.
Beat Falkner.

Pokemon:
Totodile- Lvl 16
Zubat-Lvl 4

Game-Over... I pushed my luck...

HaloSonic May 3rd, 2010 2:48 PM

hmm... seems very interesting... this may be a stupid question, but can you recover health? and also, if you run into a shiny, can you still catch it, even if you cant use it?

The Original Darkwiz787 May 3rd, 2010 4:26 PM

There are a few other optional rules you could add:

If you fail to catch the first Pokemon, you must /run/ from every battle. You may not fight.

If you mean by absorb, leech seed, or even softboilded outside of battle, then yeah. You're only unable to use healing items outside of battle. If you're really devoted to the challenge (or if you're like me and can get shiny pokes via RNG whenever) then you can. I wouldn't scold people for wanting to keep a shiny they found during the challenge.

I'll be adding in the other rules people have been suggesting later this week.

HaloSonic May 3rd, 2010 5:11 PM

alright, ill try it, but put me on standby, im not gonna do it until i finish exams. ill be using crystal btw.

myrrhman May 3rd, 2010 7:14 PM

Next Update!

After selling unneeded items, I cleaned Team Rocket out of the Pokemon Tower and got the Pokeflute. I sold more stuff and headed on to Silph.
Headed to the 10th floor to get me an Earthquake TM, which I taught to Comet
Proceeded to beat Silph Co. and LOZER. I have to admit, LOZER was actually challenging, and all of my pokemon were under half health after that battle. Favorite new strategy: Freeze with Ice Beam, use Withdrawl x6, use Double Team x6. Untouchable.
Cleared the Snorlax off of Cycling Road, proceeded to beat the trainers at the top of the hill. RIPTIDE evolved into Blastoise after the second one. Yay, my final team is fully evolved!!!
Pikachu got poisoned in a battle, but I had Fly, so I could save him.
Beat all the Trainers in Koga's Gym, went back and Beat the Fighting Dojo to get FLUTTER more exp.
Beat Koga's 3 Venonat with FLUTTER and Venomoth with BLAZE, although he was hit by Toxic. I easily healed it off.
Did Safari Zone stuff. Taught RIPTIDE Surf and Strength.
Double Teamed up on Sabrina and Strength'd my way through. Her Abra was a pain in the butt because all it did was use Flash. So neither of us could hit.
Because I am super lazy, I used an Escape Rope to get out of the Gym. To Blaine I go!
Surfed from Pallet to Cinnibar. SOCKET got lots of experience.
Temporarily skipped the Island, surfed to Seafoam Islands, getting SOCKET more experience. He is now my highest leveled pokemon.
Did the Pokemon Mansion thing, not battling many trainers, but getting SOCKET a little more experience before I challenged the Gym. After this, I wouldn't be getting him much experience, with a ground gym next.
In the Gym, missed all the questions. Darn. And I thought Electric was strong against Ground. Anyways, COMET got some nice exp.
Fought Blaine. Comet killed the first two Pokemon, but on Arcanine, he took a Take Down which brought him under half health. I switched to RIPTIDE who finished the job for me.
Flew to Viridian
Swept the Gym with RIPTIDE and FLUTTER (for the Blackbelts). Giovanni was a piece of cake. All his Pokemon fainted in either one or two hits, and Nidoking (one of the ones that took 2 hits) got a Guard Spec. to waste his first turn. Surf for the win.
Beat LOZER again.
Grindgrindgrind for elite four.

Team:

SOCKET the level 44 Pikachu w/ Thunderbolt, Mega Punch, Double Team, Thunderwave

After thinking, I've decided to join this challenge. It seems pretty interesting and challenging. Oh and I'll be using Crystal.

mondays suck May 4th, 2010 3:00 AM

Continued a bit. Things are working quite well currently.
First, I got my team up to a decent level, then I finally got revenge on my rival who had killed my entire team earlier on. I knew he would lead with Haunter, so I led with Wilumai the Raticate. Dig failed to finish Haunter off and Raticate got cursed, but I left it in so it could take care of Magnemite. Next was Zubat. I didn't want to risk Raticate's life by leaving it in while cursed, so I decided to switch to my bulkiest Pokemon, Nalotia the Gyarados. Zubat's bite did some unmentionable damage, but Strength OHKOd. Then, only Quilava was left. That goddamn Quilava that had ruined everything the last time. This time, it died a painful death by Gyarados's Strength.
After 3 more levels of grinding (I didn't really feel safe), I finally challenged the gym. The trainers all were easy, and so was Morty. Raticate sweeped through his team like a knife cuts through butter, the only thing that survived a hit was the Gengar which used Hypnosis and missed. If it wouldn't have missed, I would have had a problem, but it did miss, so I won without losing a Pokemon. Finally the whole Ecruteak
disaster where I lost so many Pokemon is over now. Next time: The lighthouse and Cyanwood. Pidgeotto and Gyarados will have the most fun here. And I'll hopefully catch a Tentacool somewhere. By the way, in burnt tower I met a level 14 Rattata which Gyarados sadly OHKOd with Tackle. But since I don't plan losing Wilumai, that probably doesn't matter.

Update: Beat Chuck and Jasmine. I almost lost Tanishi and Nalotia on the Sea because of some Poison, but I managed to save both of them. In Cyanwood, I got myself a Shuckle and then took on Chuck's Gym. Tanishi had some fun here. Then, it was Jasmine time. Echrily defeated the first Magnemite easily, but got paralyzed by a T-Bolt from the second one. I didn't want to risk its life, so I sent out Wilumai instead who took another T-Bolt and then KO'd with Dig. For Steelix, I went to Nalotia, whom I had taught Surf in the meantime because of its lack of good physical moves. Steelix lost, but in the end it was pretty close. If my last Surf wouldn't have killed it, I would have lost Nalotia, but thankfully that didn't happen.
I am not going to post my team again, otherwise this post will get too big. It didn't change much anyways except that all are in the low 30s now. Shuckle is boxed, I am not going to use it before I get Toxic except if I have to.
Oh, and I didn't catch a Pokemon on Route 41 because I kinda didn't realize I was already on Route 41. So I unfortunately killed the Tentacruel for Exp.

Update: Did all the Mahagony stuff. That included getting no Pokemon on Route 43, a Magikarp at Lake Of Rage and a Koffing in Mahagony itself, beating the Red Gyarados (Lanturn FTW), Team Rocket (easy) and Pryce. Against Pryce's gym, I had two extremely close situations. Once, against his last trainer, my Koffing (which I decided to include in my team, can't go wrong with Poison types in this challenge) only had 1 HP left at some point. I switched of course. Then, against Pryce himself, it managed to beat the Seel and Dewgong in a long fight (I hate Rest), and then had 9 HP left. I wanted to switched out, but I was locked into Rollout. And Piloswine outspeeded my Koffing. I was already reading the message "Piloswine used Blizzard" and about to scream "FFFFUUUUU(etc)", but it missed and Rollout OHKOd. Wheeew...

I'll try doing this challenge... but in POKEMON GREEN!

mondays suck May 4th, 2010 9:42 AM

Mini-Update which I'll expand later on:
I managed to evolve Tanishi and Iskirra, catch a Weepinbell named Threil and another Zubat, and arrived at Blackthorn city. I the grass, I went looking for Pokemon, leading with Threil, prepared to put anything that comes to sleep so I can catch it. Well, Sleep Powder didn't quite work and the Graveler I was facing of course decided to use Selfdestruct, which worked. Damn, with some grinding that Weepinbell would have become awesome (even though it only knew Wrap as an attacking move by the time I catched it)... So instead of catching a good Pokemon (considering my current team, Graveler would be a great addition), I don't only fail to catch it, but also lose one of my own for nothing. And I thought I was out of any crisis when I beat Morty...
Now I'm still i doubt who will be my last team member... Shuckle? Or should I wait for something else?

More Update: Ok, I finished off Team Rocket now for the last time. There were some pretty close situations, but I never lost a Pokemon. Iskirra beat the entire dreaded 6-Koffing-team on its own and still had a lot of health left, Echrily destroyed the Houndoom guy. Wilumai and Nalotia both survived a poisoning and Wilumai, even though it's my frailest Pokemon even survived a Selfdestruct from a Koffing it failed to OHKO before.
I already beat Clair's gym trainers, but I'm afraid I can't take her on yet. The T-Bolt Dragonair (because I'm pretty weak to that type) and the Kingdra (just because it's so powerful) would destroy me. And, even if not, I would certainly lose a lot of Pokemon. So: GRINDAN.

Bad news: While grinding Echrily the Lanturn, my best Pokemon, in Dark Cave, the following happened:
http://i39.*.com/2zovj36.jpg
Apparently I didn't pay enough attention and it Destiny Bonded me...
This loss certainly hurts me most of all the losses my team had to suffer up to now. What's even worse is that I could have easily prevented it by not entering that stupid Dark Cave. Well, at least I learned a lesson, I guess....

More news: Apparently I kinda did not save when I closed vba within all the anger, so I am back at exactly the point where I posted my last update, where all my team was in level 37. So, the obvious question is: what now?

They are, trust me. Well, I don't like Venusaur much, but that's just something personal. He killed my father...

Heart's Soul May 6th, 2010 7:20 AM

I'm going to do this challenge with a failed translation of Pokemon GREEN (I could just beat the game in 5 minutes, but...) and I hope everything will go good.

Heh, I noticed that the battle says "XXXXXy XXXXX move!" and I used Charmander as a joke. Now it said "DUCHEy NAIL move!" TMMD.

Anyway, I'm taking it serious.

mondays suck May 6th, 2010 8:19 AM

I had one of these Green versions too some months ago. It was a lot of fun to play, but it kept crashing at certain points. One of them was after beating Bruno, so I could never finish it... Let's hope you will have better luck.


As for my own Gold Nuzlocke, I have now accepted Lanturns death, and deposited on my "dead"-box after getting it back to level 39, I felt like it deserved it.
I got Poliwag into my team instead and I boxed my Pidgeot which I'm not wanting to lose in favor of Spearow who gets a better moveset and hits harder. And if I lose my team, I'll have still some powerful backup, and can start again once again with this Pokemon as my basis for a new solid team. Currently grinding. I have already evolved the two newcomers and Poliwhirl has caught up to the rest of my team in levels, but Fearow is only in its 20s and I'm still far from beating Clair.
Update: While grinding Fearow, thing once again went wrong. Fearow was up against a Lickitung, and was confused (hurt self at least 3 times in a row), wrapped (meaning that I couldn't run or switch), and then died. I couldn't do anything, the game really wanted me to lose that battle... So, I'm training up the Zubat from Ice Path instead, since I'm not going to risk my Pidgeot's life if I can avoid it. At this point, it has gained one level and evolved into Golbat, so this will take some more time. If my 'plan' works out.

tharding6 May 6th, 2010 9:48 AM

I really like this challenge. Its cool because it forces you to use a team that isnt so generic, and i find myself getting the same team everytime in games. I started it in blue and so far my adventure has went like this:(note: im using emulator, so its really easy to train pokes quickly because i can run it at like 3000%, and i prefer to air on the side of caution)

I picked charmander (named coal, like charcoal) and barely beat my rival. Then i travelled up route 1 hoping not to run into any pokemon. Unfortunately i did so i trained charmander for a bit and then got the parcel and did the things i needed to get pokeballs.

I decided i should try route 2 first because i thought the levels would be stronger up there. Unfortunately i ran into a level 2 rattata and OHKOed it.

Next I tried west of viridian. I ran into a Lv 5 Spearow, I thought i got very lucky. Named it Spenny.

I entered viridian forest, and ran into a Lv 5 Caterpie, about the best you could do there. Name Caterpie Wheels.. For the simple reason of its kind of a dud.

Next I trained All three of my Pokemon to Lv 10 and easily defeated my rival. I continued to train my team. For some reason i thought butterfree was suppose to learn confusion at Lv 10 not 12 so i thought my game glitched or something and overtrained my other 2 both to 18. Then i checked the internet.. sure enough level 12. Trained to 16.

I entered Pewter Gym with:
Charmeleon Lv 19
Spearow Lv 19
Butterfree Lv 16

Butterfree beat both Geodude and Onix with 2 confusions each.

I beat the trainers on route 3. Here i caught a Level 7 Pidgey. Named Paulie, then entered Mt. Moon to find a level 8 Zubat, named it Zoey. I put both in the box for a rainy day.

I have one question. When in a cave, does each level count as a route or simply just 1 per cave.

mondays suck May 6th, 2010 10:54 AM

I personally catch one Pokemon on each area that is an area on the map, so only one in a cave. To be honest, I never really used the Map before I started Nuzlocking...

- - -

Ok, I decided I'll grind Golbat as long as it takes to evolve it and then let my team catch up, but when it reached level 49 and still didn't evolve, I changed my mind, trained my other Pokemon up and challenged Clair. It was ridiculously easy, Weezing totally destroyed her. I caught another Poliwag in Blackthorn and another Magikarp in Dragon's Den, and this Magikarp recently evolved into a second Gyarados (speaking of Gyarados, I think I should work on my other one's moveset a bit...) in order to handle Whirlpools and Waterfalls for me.

I'm up for a challenge, sure. I'll be sure to start tomorrow when I get back from the movies. I'll be using Pokemon Silver.

mondays suck May 7th, 2010 1:31 AM

Currently, I'm standing in front of Pokemon league, with no real team changes except levels. On the way, I caught a Krabby (Whirl Islands), a Tentacool (R.27), a Slowpoke (Tohjo Falls), a Sandslash (R.26) and another Golbat (Victory Road)
Now, my problem is that I found out that Gyarados can't learn Earthquake, so what should I do?
  • Teach Poliwhirl EQ (over Hypnosis which I don't trust), who surprisingly can learn it?
  • Get Sandslash into party, teach it EQ and let Poliwhirl learn Psychic instead later on?
  • Keep Gyara's awful moveset or get something bad like Hyper Beam to replace worse things like Twister?
  • Teach anyone (Gyara?) Swagger to fight Special Attackers?
By the way, here are my plans how to defeat each Elite 4 member:
  • Will: Raticate. Just Raticate. Might become hard because Slowbro (especially Slowbro) and Exeggutor are so damn bulky.
  • Koga: Weezing and Golbat, as I don't want anyone to get poisoned. Venomoth or Forretress might screw me over here. Maybe I'll try Rollouting them.
  • Bruno: Not quite sure here. Maybe Weezing (because Rock Slide means gg Golbat)? But it would hardly be able to beat Onix...
  • Karen: Probably Raticate, since it's my best team member when it comes to dealing with a variety of Pokemon. Umbreon and Vileplume look the most troublesome here, the others should go down.
  • Lance: Poliwhirl. Just Poliwhirl. Except for the Gyarados, maybe I'll use my own Gyarados here. Thunder Nite might also become a problem since I'm so horribly Electric-weak.
Different opinions, anyone?

- - -

Well, since no one is answering, I just decided to go with Sandslash and replace Gyara's Twister and D-Rage by Hyper Beam and Swagger. While getting Sandslash up to the rest of team, I found this:

That I killed it was NOT unintentional, because
1. it would be against the rules to catch it
2. I'm running out of Pokeballs, I'll still need some in Kanto

Update: Beat Elite 4. It wasn't exactly a walk in the park, but it wasn't too hard as well. I somehow managed not to lose any Pokemon. Unexpectedly.

(HGSS Sprites for the Elite 4 because they were the first ones I found)

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/07/VSWill.pngThe Xatus, Jynx and even Slowbro got OHKOd by Wilumai's Shadow Ball. Exeggutor took a hit and used Psychic which did a bit less than half.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b0/VSKoga.pngI tried Rollouting stuff to death with Iskirra. After some missed Rollouts, Ariados went down, and so did Venomoth. Forretress managed to keep me from sweeping his team some time, but it couldn't hurt me as well without Explosion which it luckily did not decide to use. When it died, the rest of Koga's team was no more problem at all, Muk and Crobat both but OHKOd.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b8/VSBruno.pngThis was the first battle I made some switches in. I kept switching between Nalotia and Iskirra all the time. I also used a first Hyper Potion here.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/f3/VSKaren.pngAgainst Umbreon, Thimbelunk the Sandslash saw some first real use, and it did well. Then, against Vileplume, I switched to
Aruchisuri who got paralyzed but killed it and Gengar. Gengar cursed it though, so I switched to Nalotia as soon as I could and while it walled Murkrow, I healed my team again and then killed Karen's two last remaining Pokemon with ease.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/ce/VSLance.pngLance was less hard than he could have been, but he also wasn't exactly easy to beat.
I led with Iskirra and tried to bring Gyarados to a zone where I could bring Heangche in without too many problems, but that didn't quite work (maybe I should have used Sludge Bomb...), and suddenly it was Iskirra and not Gyarados who had a red HP bar. So, I switched to Nalotia, my own Gyarados, and soon got Hyperbeamed. It didn't do too much, but gave me the chance to switch to Heangche and finish Gyarados with Body Slam.
Then, it was Dragonite time. Ice Punch failed to OHKO and I got paralyzed, but luckily Dragonite's Thunder missed. Otherwise I would have been pretty much screwed. Against the next Dragonite, I got lucky again. First, its attack didn't do much (it was probably just Twister...) and then I froze it.
The last Dragonite was harder, Outrage did quite a lot, so I had to heal. With the paralysis gone, I could outspeed and KO it. Next was Charizard, who, again couldn't be OHKOd. When it died, Heangche was pretty weakened, but I decided to trust in Heangche's decent speed and Aerodactyl's extreme frailty, and I made the right decision. Aerodactyl died without doing anything, and so I became the Pokemon league champion without losing anything but maybe 3 Hyper Potions and 1 Full Restore.

Count me in! :D

And yeah, I'd like an answer for the cave problem?

mondays suck May 7th, 2010 10:34 AM

So, I have finished SS.Aqua and my Golbat evolved after gaining just one level. I just arrived at Vermilion, and I have a question: For which area does Snorlax,which I'm planning to catch, count? Vermilion City, the route east of it, or even Diglett's cave?

As for the cave question, I treat everything as an area that is an area on the map. So, no multiple Pokemon in caves.


- - -

Continued a bit, beat Surge and Sabrina and caught some more Pokemon:
a Growlithe on Route 7, a Tentacool on Route 12, a Grimer in Celadon and Fearows on Routes 17 and 18. The last one eat a lot of my Pokeballs =(
This is more like a note to myself than an actual update, because I might forget about where I catched all these new Pokemon.
By the way, I just noticed I need a Cut Slave since in Kanto there are a lot of Cut trees. Krabby comes to mind.

Oh, and I have a question. Can we have HM slaves?

mondays suck May 7th, 2010 1:16 PM

I beat all Kanto gyms now. 7 of them were easy. Well, as I had to find out, Blue wasn't.
The battle started pretty well for me. Nalotia took down his Pidgeot, Alakazam and Rhydon without much trouble, and did quite some damage before dying to a critical Hyperbeam. Crap. At this point, this battle started to suck massively. In the following time, a heavy battle between Iskirra and that cursed Gyarados that kept getting healt all the time. At the end of it, Iskirra died to a crit rain Surf, I really started to hate this now.
My next Pokemon, Wilumai, managed to finally take out the Gyarados, but failed to OHKO the following Exeggutor (just like in the Elite 4) and died too. At this point, I was already afraid of getting wiped just like in Ecruteak, but Heangche luckily managed to beat Blue's remaining two Pokemon.
Still, this pyrrhic victory totally screwed me over, and I really wasn't expecting it after my team had been successful for such a long time...
But, the challenge this goes on after this devastating battle, and I will have to find a way to beat Red with what is left.

So, Rest in Peace, Nalotia, Iskirra and Wilumai....

The best news for you is that you can train up another Gyarados rather easily. Maybe you should try to get Shuckle up to about 80 and hope he can stall/tank your way to victory.

I played a bit more, and decided just to suck it up and teach Brisingr Cut XD But anyway, here's what all has happened.

-Went through the cave and battled
-Left and tried to sneak around that Hiker, but it failed...but I beat him =D
-Headed into Azalea Town and healed
-Talked to Kurt and then went to the Slowpoke Well
-Captured the first Pokemon I saw, a Zubat, and named it...Flauga
-Beat Team Rocket with no casualties!
-Went back and got that Lure Ball gift from Kurt, healed up
-Went to train Zubat...barely beat a Hoppip -_-;
-OHNOES! Zubat died from a Spearow attack D=
-Put Zubat into a "Dead" Box in my PC, because I want to remember him XD
-Beat Bugsy with Brisingr and Adurna (more Brisingr, but still)
-Headed out, and got confronted by Silver!!
-Beat Silver, nearly lost Adurna! It was HORRIBLE! But I didn't lose him, thankfully
-Headed to the forest thing, saved Farfetch'd (didn't capture a Pokemon, because I didn't really want a...well, I don't remember what showed up now, but I didn't want it XD)
-Taught Brisingr Cut and then moved on through
-On one of my most favorite routes, I saw--...a Rattata -_-;;; Killed it
-Battled, no casualties
-Healed in the PC and then headed north to see if I could find anything else good
-Battled, and then found a female Nidoran! Forgot to nickname her because I sped it up and didn't really pay attention, but ran to the name rater and named her...Skolir
-Fainted a female Nidoran on the route just before Sudowoodo and after the National Park
-Captured a Hoothoot in the park, nicknamed her Blaka then boxed her
-Togepi hatched! Nicknamed it Bjart then boxed it
-Trained a bit, Skolier to level 15!
-SKOLIER DIES FROM RATTATA ATTACK! CURSE THOSE STUPID PURPLE RODENTS! T.T
-Stuffed Skolier in the box with Zubat
-Battled and trained, both Brisingr and Adurna level 23...thought about battling Whitney but chickened out because she terrifies me
-Had an idea and head back to the Ruins of Alph, which I forgot about and failed to capture a Pokemon in
-Went to the water and used an Old Rod, successfully hooking a level 10 Magikarp!
-Captured said Magikarp and then nicknamed him Skulblaka
-Heading back to Goldenrod, training along the way

dragon0fangz May 7th, 2010 6:43 PM

This is epic. I've been watching mondays suck's challenge and i am enthralled. I'm starting immediately with red.
--------
Just started.
I am going to capture the first pokemon in every place.
Named myself Red, rival Blue. Yay for creativity.
Got Squirtle named Squirill for some reason...
Got Spearow named Sperantia
Got Pidgey named Piddliddle
Got Weedle named Beethige.
Thats just the beginning.
---------
:(
Tried to train Beethige, and lost him.
Lost Sperantia to Sand Attack.
Squirill got away with 1 hp.
And Boulder Badge got!
barely...
Got Pidgey (Pipi) going to put in storage when my team gets full...
--------
Mt Moon I got A Geodude called Gegege.
Trained him.
Owned Mt Moon once i got TM01 and taught it to Gegege
Arrived in Cerulean, got Spearow on Route 4. Why the common pokemon?!
Lost Piddliddle to My rival before Nugget Bridge.
Doing fine so far...
---------
After owning Nugget Bridge with Squirill and Gegege, i finally get some luck and find an Oddish on Route 24. Named Ploom.
I must be really lucky. I got several close calls. My Squirill got poisoned and i had to walk back to the pokemon center. when i got there he had 2 hp left. My Ploom got down to 1 hp with a Rattata.
After a tough situation with Oddishes, I lost Spele and Pipi. Lucky I didn't lose the other 3.
On Route 25 I caught YET ANOTHER PIDGEY (Piiporii)
On the quite useless route 5 i caught another Oddish. useful for backup, but meh.
On route 6 I got... yep, another pidgey. I gave myself a Headthud, and called it Headthud.
My team.


TWO QUESTIONS.
Do in-game trades count as pokemon got for that area?
Do status items like antidotes count as healing items?

Fire Wolf May 7th, 2010 9:09 PM

I finally started. I got my Cyndaquil, did Mr. Pokemon stuff, got mystery egg, defeated rival, gave Mystery Egg to Elm, got Pokeballs, proceded, killed sadly most of the pokemon I faced till Violet. I caught my second pokemon the route west of Violet, (the route where Sudowoodo is) in Pidgey, but soon realized that I'm no longer able to catch Sudowoodo. Great. Even worse, Pidgey died in its first fight in the Violet Gym. Solo'd the Violet Gym with Cyndaquil, easily won. In the route south of Violet, hoping for a Wooper, I got a Rattata. I was content with it. I trained it a bit and proceded for Union Cave.
My team is a l.8 Rattata and a l.14 Quilava.

Mortalis May 7th, 2010 9:32 PM

Alright, here's the update for Silver ::
--------------------------------------

I have officially named myself Nuzzy, because I'm very creative with names.
:t158:
Totodile is now my partner, and hopefully stays that way too. I nicknamed himDWARF.

Made it to Route 1, and I totally just grinded to level 11. Did not catch any Pokemon on Route 1, and can not do so anymore.

Moved on to Cherrygrove, got the Map and headed into Route 30, didn't catch any Pokemon, went to Mr. Pokemon's house [ and so the events continued ].

:t158: LEVEL 11

Easily beat my Rival's Lvl. 5 Chikorita with my level 11 Totodile. Dwarf smacked that loser. Chikorita got me to level 12. I then named my Rival Kitty. A very bad Kitty.

Did all the events after that and continued to Violet City, not being able to catch any Pokemon because of already being on the Routes. Awe. : [

Went into Dark Cave and ran into a level 2 Geodude and caught it on a two Pokeball outting. Named it Dood.

TOTODILE [DWARF] LVL. 13
GEODUDE [DOOD] LVL. 2


Went out and trained with Dood and Dwarf. Dood died, R.I.P Dood. Dwarf got to level 14, and now I challenge Falkner!! Easily beat him and got Dwarg to level 15.

TOTODILE [DWARF] LVL. 15

And now I have recieved the Togepi egg. Since I love Togepi, I'm going to make Togepi one of my main Pokemon. I just walked around and waited for the egg to hatch, I really wanted another Pokemon. Nicknamed Togepi Shelly.

It was a short play time, but I'll play more tomorrow.

-----



myrrhman May 8th, 2010 1:44 AM

OH my god. I had just finished my final update (I beat the elite four) and firefox crashed. Here's the general idea.

Loreli: Pikachu used double team x6 and then thunderbolts

Bruno: Blastoise surf OHKO's the first four, and then uses two surfs on machamp. He uses submission and kills himself

Agatha: Nidoking OHKO w/ EQ, OHKO w/ crit Rock Slide, OHKO w/ EQ, gets Paralyzed, so I switch to Butterfree, who 2HKO's Arbok w/ Psychic. He is Paralyzed too. I heal Nidoking's health back, and Gengar OHKO's Butterfree w/ Psychic. R.I.P Flutter. Nidoking OHKO's w/ EQ.

Lance: Blastoise Double team x6, heals, and then Ice Beam and Strength for the win.

Rival: Blastoise Double Team x6, OHKO w/ EQ, Strength, Ice Beam, 4HKO w/ Strength, 2HKO w/ Surf, takes a Thunder from Jolteon and Faints. R.I.P. RIPTIDE. Nidoking finishes w/ EQ.

And that's it! Here's a screenshot of the end of the Rival fight, as well as my team.
End of Battle:
Champions:

11wildy May 8th, 2010 2:04 AM

Do trade pokemon count as the first pokemon? And does the one you need to offer need to be the first one somewhere else?

Anyway, I started my challenge and chose Cyndaquil. Did the beginning stuff, bla bla. Then in teh first route I could catch a opkemon I managed to catch a Pidgey. I went into dark cave, but critted a Geodude to death. Meh, I don't like himn anyway. Grinded up Pidgey to level 10 and then I went into the sprout tower, hoping for a Bellsprout. After a lot of time searching for a pokemon I came across this annoying Ratata. I decided to catch it and box it away.

Continued my challenge a bit. Beat Falkner easily with a few Embers from Quilava. I continued to the ruins of alph, where I decided to catch an unown, just for fun. Then I continued to route 32, where I udnerrated Pidgey Tackle, which KOed the Ekans I wanted to catch :(. Then, later in union cave the first epokmon I saw was a pesky Zubat. I really needed a ground type pokemon for the third gym. I caught and boxed it. In the meanwhile, Quilava nearly got KOed by the Geodude of the hiker in route 33, but he critted ad I killed him before dieing. The opkemon in route 33 was a Rattata which I didn't bother catching. Now, in Slowpokes well, Pidgey evolved, and I didn't see any wild pokemon before the leader of team rocket in there lol. After talking with kurt I decided to go back there to catch a pokemon, or at least try to. I decided to try my luck fishing and I caught a whopping Magikarp which is now resting in my PC.

dragon0fangz May 8th, 2010 8:37 AM

CHALLENGE OVER.
I got owned by a butterfree that kept using status effects. My Gegege was asleep and wouldnt wake up. Bye. My Squirill was poisoned and couldn't do much. Bye. My Ploom went down after being paralyzed and Confusion. Bye. And the other 3 didnt matter.
Oh well, it was a fun ride.

Mortalis May 8th, 2010 9:36 AM


I went to Sprout Tower and beat the whole thing easily with Dwarf. I got Shelly to level 7, but I still need to get her up. Dwarf is now level 17, and we're leaving sprout tower. We arrived on Route 32 and ran into a Rattata. I decided to catch it, since It was Level 8. Score! Nicknamed it Fang.

I trained Dwarf to level 18 on this Route to Evolve him into a CROCONAW.

DWARF :: LEVEL 18
SHELLY :: LEVEL 7
FANG :: LEVEL 8


I grinded with Fang ... but then he died.So now I'm sticking with Dwarf for pretty much the rest of this game, and only going to catch stronger Pokemon for gyms and such. Shelly serves to be a little useless now.


- Grinded with Dwarf until level 20.
- Went into Union Cave and failed to catch any Pokemon.
- Only used Dwarf throughout Union Cave and leveled a good amount. Dwarf is my total main strongest.
- Continued to Azalea Town.
- Went into Ilex Forest and failed to catch anything.
- Went back to Ruins of Alph, but then decided not to do anything.
- Did all events in Azalea Town.
- Got Dwarf to Level 24.
- Beat Bugsy with total ease with Dwarf. Got to level 25.
- I barley beat my Rival because of his Bayleef. I'm trying to just train Dwarf, then grind with a caught Pokemon Later. Dwarf can handle so much right now.
- Shelly died. :[
- Finished Ilex Forest Event. Got Cut, taught it to Dwarf.
- Finished Ilex Forest, Dwarf is now level 26.
- Failed to catch Pokemon on Route 34. Dwarf is now level 27.
- Got into Goldenrod. :D
- CURRENT TEAM:
DWARF :: LEVEL 27 CROCONAW

- Whitney stood no match for Dwarf. Mwhahaha. Dwarf is the ultimate Pokemon.
- Dwarf is now level 28 !
- Healed up and left Goldenrod.
- Beat all trainers on Route 35 with a single or double Scratch. Dwarf Rules.
- Got Dwarf to level 29 !
- Did the bug catching challenge and failed to catch anything. :[
- Bug contest leveled my Dwarf to level 30, which is when he evolved. :D
- Went back to Route 35 and caught a Nidoran Female, which I named Pinta.
- I'm actually training Pinta now. It's level 13.

And I'm finishing off there for today. :D

----------------------------------------------------------------

CURRENT TEAM ::

DWARF :: LEVEL 30 FERALIGATR
PINTA :: LEVEL 13 FEMALE NIDORAN

DEAD ::

TOGEPI, RATTATA AND GEODUDE.

-Beat all the trainers in Morty's gym, but refused to battle him
-Dodged trainers and headed down, saw something I didn't want in that little grass before Olivine so I kept going
-Went to Olivine and used a fishing rod, captured a Krabby and named her Thringa
-Finally went back to Morty's gym
-Thringa was soon killed by Morty T.T
-Beat him and then headed back towards Olivine again
-Captured a Tentacruel on Route 40 (I think that's it, the one just after Olivine) and named it...ehm...Kodthr, boxed it for a rainy day
-Went to the Lighthouse and talked to Jasmine after battling, went to go get the medicine and save the day
-Moved past the Whirl Islands
-Realized I was on a new route, so I fished and came up with a Magikarp! =D Named him Orum
-Got the medicine and trained, having to go to the Pokemon Center multiple times due to poison
-Nearly lost Brisingr to poison! D= But luckily, I made it back
-Rare candied Orum from level 19 to 20, making him evolve into a Gyarados
-Headed back up the Lighthouse and gave the medicine to Jasmine, who went back to the gym
-Went back down and beat her rather easily
-Thought about fighting Chuck, but decided against it for now because he scares me XD

11wildy May 9th, 2010 2:28 AM

Just a small update:

Beat Azalea gym easily with Quilava. I caught a Paras in Ilex forest. I was training it up when I participated in the bug catching show, in which my first pokemon was a level 15 Weedle which i caught. Then I decided to go on training Paras there and it got beaten by a wild Pinsir :(. Then I replaced it with Weedle and went training. A pokefan (with Raichu) in the national park was pwning my Kakuna and I switched to Quilava who then died to Thunderbolt. Finished that Raichu of with Pidgeotto's quick attack. In route 35 I found a Psyduck :D. Currently training it.

Team:
Psyduck lvl 16
Dig
Ice Punch
Confusion
Headbutt

Pidgeotto lvl 20
Quick attack
Gust
Mud slap
Sand attack

Beedrill lvl 20
Twineedle
Poison sting
Cut
String shot.

Until next time!

Good start to my attempt at this challege on Yellow.

I got the Potion in the PC.
Went out on to Route 1 and Professor Oak stopped me and caught a Pikachu.
Went to Oak's lab, when I tried to pick up Eevee, Blue stopped me and grabbed it.
I ended up with Pikachu.
Fought and beat Blue's Eevee with my Pikachu, in my opinion that's one of the hardest battles in this challenge done.

I'll be taking this quite slowly, I'll update again soon.

Ok, first Pokemon seen on Route 1 is a Rattata, it was too early in the game to catch it though, defeat it for EXP.
Got a potion from the Mart employee
Arrived in Viridian City
Got Oak's parcel from the clerk at the Mart
Leave Viridian City, enter Route 1
Delivered Oak's Parcel and got the Pokedex

mondays suck May 9th, 2010 5:18 AM

After a ton of grinding (luckily without deaths up to now, even though there were some close situations), I finally got my Shuckle and Weepinbell up to level 70. Rest of my team (old team+Snorlax) is around level 57-60, so don't expect me to be able to challenge Red today, I don't feel like doing any more grinding now. At least my movesets (except Snorlax's) are already finished, so I am not going to have to worry about them anymore.

Underoos May 9th, 2010 9:10 AM

Game over for me.
My Squirtle fought Bulba at Cerulean Bridge =P
Absorb or w/e murdered me.

Shimert May 13th, 2010 6:40 AM

@ Urwaldbewohner: Congratz!

Major Update:

I added some rules for myself:
-No healing items. Ever!
-No repels
-5 poké balls per city


Beat Rival Lennon. Then in Ilex Forest I caught a Kakuna and named it Minc, then Togepi (Philip) hatched!
Headbutted a tree on Route 34, Weedle fell out, so I left it alone... Decided to not take on Whitney yet.

Rousseau evolved fighting the trainers on Route 35, I went to the bugcatching contest and decided not
to catch the wild Paras (regrets). After the contest I beat the trainers and Arc evolved into Skiploom!

Went back to Goldenrod with a sleep powder/paralyze tactic for Miltank but Rousseau just annihilated her!!
First pokemon I encountered on Route 36 was Yanma!! Named him Napoleon. I hate it that they're so
useless in this gen... It can still replace Minc though. Caught a Ledyba on Route 37, named him Ceasar.

Went to Burnt Tower, almost got Charleroi killed by his Croconaw. I encountered a Rattata (too bad).
Heatbutted another tree on Route 42, hoping for heracross or something, but a Spearow fell out (left it alone).

Still scared of Morty, so I continued onto Route 38, where I encountered Meowth, which I killed.
On Route 39 I encountered a Raticate, which i already have (Rousseau). Arc evolved into Jumpluff!

Got a Good Rod in Olivine, and used it in the local pond, reeled in a Magikarp... didn't want it.
Route 40 was better luck (Good Rod). Reeled in a Corsola and took about 15 minutes to catch (recoverpowerrrs).
Named it Churchill! I then stored Togepi Philip and withdrew Churchill. Trained him to level 24, he then completely
pwnd Morty's Gengar and final Haunter.

I love Churchill!!!!

Poke balls: 7


Current party:
Churchill (Corsola lvl. 24)
Arc (Jumpluff lvl. 27)
Charleroi (Quilava lvl. 26)
Assisi (Zubar lvl. 10)
Napoleon (Yanma lvl. 13)
Rousseau (Raticate lvl. 24)

mondays suck May 14th, 2010 12:14 PM

Finally got finished with grinding.
Time for Red.
Spoiler:

Obviously, the first match-up was Thimbelunk against Pikachu, what resulted in an OHKO. Charm did nothing for Pikachu.
http://i42.*.com/2cqflnl_th.png
Next, Red decided to send out Venusaur, so I decided to switch to Aruchisuri.
http://i41.*.com/fwrw21_th.png
While I switched, Venusaur charged a Solarbeam, which did almost nothing. Wing Attack 2HKOd.
http://i41.*.com/23mpksy_th.png
Espeon time. I switched to Snorlax (I kinda forgot its nickname), and took quite a lot from Psychic. The next turn, Espeon set up Reflect, while...
http://i40.*.com/nvy3wk_th.pnghttp://i43.*.com/a14fuh_th.png
... I had some luck.
http://i41.*.com/10nc00i_th.png
For some reason, I decide to use Rollout at this point, but...
http://i43.*.com/25evj42_th.pnghttp://i41.*.com/k0sqrd_th.png
... that didn't quite work. RIP, replacement thing that I never really liked.
http://i41.*.com/amurmg_th.png
I decide to go to Thimbelunk (I probably should have sent out Shuckly instead though), and again make a wrong decision: Instead of just using Earthquake, I try Dynamicpunch which required 3 tries and made Thimbelunk lose some HP it wouldn't have needed to lose. I got a crit here, but I think that didn't matter considering Snorlax's pathetic physical defense (that I had experienced with my own one).
http://i44.*.com/2jaww0n_th.png
this 2 VS 5 situation seems to be a pretty good matchup, and I even have the type advantage here...
http://i39.*.com/2w4zgbo_th.pnghttp://i40.*.com/2em39ed_th.png
... or not. I hate Blizzard, when I use it it never hits...
Well, you sucked anyways, Weepinbell, Iskirra was a way better Poison type than you.
http://i40.*.com/35bb5o4_th.png
So, since that failed, I decide to try it with Aruchisuri's Giga Drain, and it seemed to work quite well until...
http://i41.*.com/1humbt_th.png
... this happened. Insert swearing here, because contrary to Snorlax and Weepinbell, I really liked Aruchisuri.
http://i39.*.com/6nqx6u_th.png
Luckily Red didn't use any Full Restores, so after one Psychic, the thing was finally dead.
Rest of the battle didn't provide any more challenge, obviously.

So, I guess, I am the champion now, but...
http://i40.*.com/f21zky.jpg
there are still all the dead ones. Don't forget them. Don't let their glory be overshadowed by that of the ones that actually survived.
(and no, I am not excluding Sandshlash from my favorites list with this picture, I just find it so hard to draw...) If I would have done this properly, I would probably have included it somewhere. And Pidgeot too, since it also did some great work and got me out of that Ecruteak crisis.


I am very tempted to do another Nuzlocke run (the Pearl one doesn't count here since it's on another sytem), so let's see what I'm going to do.

Underoos May 15th, 2010 2:02 PM

Ah, sad tidings I bring =(

-Grinded my Pokemon several levels
-Got team mostly to level 33, save for Orum
-Mustered up my courage and went to battle Chuck
-Good news is (thanks to Fethrblaka) no fatalities
-Went on happily to Mahogany Town
-Head to the Lake of Rage, ready to capture that shiny Gyarados
-Battled it...and it killed Orum! =(
-Tried to capture it, but failed. The stupid Gyarados then killed itself from confusion -_-; Now I'm forever Gyarados-less I do believe (because I don't think I feel like training more Magikarp XD)
-Headed back to Mahogany with a heavy heart and deposited poor Orum
-Moved to the base thingie, and headed down thar with Lance
-Nearly lost Brisingr to the dang exploding Geodude, but he made it and I healed him up
-The same thing happened with Garjzla, but he fainted -_-; (And it was right after I'd gotten him groomed, too!) Alas, my hopes for an Espeon have crumbled
-On that happy note, I pressed on and battled more people
-Soon I defeated them all, save for that darned Electrode that exploded and killed Adurna T.T
-Went back out of the base and stowed away my dead Pokemon, sort of freaking out because I only have two on my team
-Went into the gym, Fethrblaka evolved! =D
-Beat Pryce easily, thanks partially to Fly and to Brisingr =3
-Went to the Ice Cave and saw a Swinub! Fainted it with Tackle -_-;
-Went back to the route, taught Kodthr Surf and then went on the water
-Didn't see any fish, but saw a Weepinbell! Captured and named it Laufsblad
-Thinks my team is screwed XD

I messed up..

-In Union cave stupid Geodudes use selfdestruct.. R.I.P Arc..R.I.P Rousseau
-Ruins of Alph caught Natu (Marx) This was hopeful after losing two
of my best teammembers.
- Marx Evolves into Xatu
- Cherrygrove didn't catch Magikarp
- Route 41 didn't catch Tentacruel
- Withdrew Ceasar, Ceasar survives Horsea's Dragonbreath with 1 hp; Marx dies...
- Only two good teammembers left..
- Decided I need a new pokemon...
- Cianwood caught Magikarp (schumacher)
- Schumacher evolved into Gyarados

Whole team gets destroyed by first fighting-gym trainers...

So nope... that didn't work out, mainly because i was impatient and irresponsible.

I feel sad I let my team down

mondays suck May 23rd, 2010 5:06 AM

Ok, I'm incredibly bored at this very moment and I don't feel like playing on the DS, and I also don't feel like continuing my Scramble right now because it's being tedious.
So: It's about time to Nuzlocke something, and I'm going with...
Pokemon Brown. A hack of Red that I played a bit some months ago, but don't remember too much of, because I only played it once.
I will do this as a screenshot run. Let's see how this is going to turn out.
Spoiler:

Spoiler:
Starting…
http://i47.*.com/2u5dn49.png
So a Gastly ist the version mascot?
http://i46.*.com/rjntzk.png
Settings.
http://i48.*.com/2093v3n.png
Professor Pryce? Interesting.
He sure likes to talk, by the way.
http://i48.*.com/11t6bvb.png
http://i50.*.com/35jm1on.png
No comment about this.
Some talking later…
http://i50.*.com/rrrx35.png
It’s still there.
http://i50.*.com/2qx84r5.png
Looking a bit around in my starting town, and what do I see? A gym. Cut is needed to enter it though.
After heading south, I finally met Professor Pryce again, or Tim how his real name is.
http://i46.*.com/29yp3yu.png
Well, I guess it’s about time I get one.
http://i48.*.com/wwgco7.png
And there is my rival, I didn’t even get the chance to name him…
http://i47.*.com/1zc3cb5.png
Hell Yes.
http://i45.*.com/a40x34.png
First thing I could think off.
http://i46.*.com/263avir.png
Obviously, this is going to be Charmander.
http://i46.*.com/e00cnc.png
Yep.
http://i48.*.com/29xutmu.png
And the inevitable happens: The first rival fight with level 5 Pokemon. One of the hardest battles in the game. Sawr was doing well and had still a nice chunk of HP left, but...
http://i47.*.com/29q1idt.png
OH COME ON, THIS CAN’T BE TRUE.

I’ll be startin’ over, Sawr II is going to avenge Sawr’s death and then lead a (hopefully) awesome team to glory.

By the way, I hate tinypic now for having to type 2 stupid words for each picture I want to upload... I'lll have to find something different.

Spoiler:

Same stuff again, except that this time...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1.png
I won. I needed the Potion, but it was worth it.
Now I just have to get Pokeballs somewhere...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-1.png
Found the market in the same town, but first, I apparently have to play delivery boy once again.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-2.png
Now, I guess he is going to talk a lot and then give me a Pokedex...
..and he did. Mura also showed up, but luckily left me alone this time.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-3.png
10 Pokeballs rule still exists.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-4.png
...And the first area to catch Pokemon I find is not a Route, it's a Cave. So, guess who is going to be my first Pokemon...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-5.png
Exactly.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-6.png
Because Sharifa the Crobat is being so awesome on Pearl.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-7.png
Grindan Time. Can never be wrong when playing a hack.
There are also Digletts and Geodudes in this cave by the way...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-8.png
...and Vulpix. I decided to not playing risky and run.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-9.png
Also, there's Slowpoke. Let's pray it doesn't know Confusion.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-10.png
...Why was I expecting this? Actually, Confusion seems to be the only thing it knows. Not good.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-11.png
So many Pokemon in just one cave... And I get Zubat, of course. Well, better than Vulpix or Slowpoke who would have killed Saur II...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4.png
Enough Grinding for now, I guess. Sawr II already learned Vine Whip at level 10 by the way.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2.png
So far, I have caught Pokemon in:
  • Gravel Town (Sawr II)
  • Merson Cave (Sharifa II)
Didn't get anything in Seashore City (where the starting house is) or the route in between (where Cut is required to meet any Pokemon).

Next: Exploring Merson Cave and getting to the town behind it.


Update:
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-12.png
First trainer: A younster with a Rattata. Looking familiar?
Also, I probably grinded a bit too much. Ah, well...
Next trainer:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-1.png
I hate you, game.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-1.png
After having only one way for all the time up to now, I suddenly have 3. In the south there is nothing, on the plateau in the north is an item, the stairs leads to a trap - A Hiker with, among other things, a Spearow. Arceus, I hate these things now.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-1.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5.png
So, after the Spearow finally was down, I found myself in a somewhat critical situation (Sharifa II was down to 0 PP)... But, it did not use Quick Attack and I managed to win. Somehow.
Later...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6.png
For Growl.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7.png
So, I finally got out of this cave, just too...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8.png
run into a trainer with a Spearow. Oh great. It took me all the 2 Potions I had with me to beat this thing.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10.png
At least, while running back to where I could heal, SawrII evolved.
Later, in the first patch of grass after the cave...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14.png
Hell Yes.
Or not.
>DrillPeck! is poisoned
>I used all my Potions on that Spearow
>No Antidotes
Crap.
So...:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_crap.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_crap-1.png
I really hate myself for this stupidity, right at the beginning of the next City, Dodou dies...
Note to myself (and everyone else): don't catch Pokemon using Poison. It's not going to end well.
RIP, DrillPeck!, Lv.5-5.
But, the challenge goes on, so, I firsz explore the town I'm in.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-13.png
Got a Bike Voucher here, even without hearing the word "Rapidash" just once
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-2.png
This gym looks watery to me. The name makes me think of a Gyarados being the leader's strongest Pokemon. Not good, it might know Dragon Rage or something.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-2.png
And there's a part of grass in this town, in which...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-2.png
...I find a Hitmonchan,
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-1.png
A LEVEL 20 HITMONCHAN (the highest wild thing I met up to now was a level 6 Pidgey) Sawr II seemed to lose the battle, so I decided to switch and...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-1.png
...the damn thing just killed Sharifa II. And, what makes the thing worse, Sawr is not going to be able to take just one more hit from that thing.
So, in despair, I throw a Pokeball, and...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-1.png
...surprisingly, it worked. So, the challenge is saved for now, but still, I hate the thing for killing Sharifa II, so...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-1.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-1.png
Team at this point:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-14.png
Hmm, I think Sawr II could need some grinding, just in case...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-3.png
Much better.
Time to take on Karpman, the leader. As expected, he uses Water Pokemon. In particular, that means:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-3.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-3.png
Horsea and Vaporeon. The Vaporeon was, despite the level disadvantage, quite tough. Luckily, only defense-wise.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-2.png
And, Karpman (by the way, there was not a single Magikarp in his gym) doesn't only look like Brock, he also gives out his TM. Which I am probably never going to use.
Next route, north of Merson City:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-15.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-4.png
I really seem to be cursed when it comes to Doduos...
...or stupid, since I should have used Vine Whip instead of Tackle.
Somewhere, I also found another cave where I'm going to need Strength to progress. I don't know the cave's name yet, but...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-4.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-4.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-3.png
...at least I got a Psyduck there. Took me 8 or so Pokeballs because I didn't dare to touch it with any attacking move. Accidentally didn't nickname Psyduck.
So, after seeing it only has Scratch, I decided to use the Water Gun TM I found somewhere in the first cave, just to see that...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-2.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-2.png
...TM12 isn't Water Gun in this game.
Octazooka causes Poison by the way, so I'll have to be careful and not use it against Pokemon I want to catch.
Some minor Psyduck grinding later, it was time to progress. Just a bit north of the cave entrance, I found this house:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-2.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-2.png
Basically it's like Celadon mansion. The Pokemon in the table is, if I remember correctly, Porygon. I didn't take it because I already met the Doduo I killed on that route.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-1.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-1.png
Also, we have an underground path somewhere here that takes us to a rather watery area. What exactly will await us here? We will see. But later.


Current Team:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_b1.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_b2.png
The good...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_b3.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_b4.png
...the bad...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_b5.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_b6.png
...and the useless. At least up to now due to lack of moves.

Oh, before I forget it: Here's the map:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_MAP.png
Seriously, I have no idea where the hell I am now. The tunnel was going to the west, so I might be somewhere north of Seashore.

You better don't follow my strategy exactly. I was playing sloppy, had tons of grinding deaths, got wiped in Ecruteak... I didn't have a working team before Blackthorn....


As for my current Brown run, things are going pretty well at this moment. In particular, that means:
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-16.png
After following the fishing route for a while, you arrive in a grassy area again, where this house is standing. Here, you can trade an Abra for a Magmar. Looks like a worthwhile trade in a normal game, especially since Abra is common near Merson City.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-5.png
Also, there's a map on the wall, where we can see that I was right:
We are currently located north of Seashore City, near Hayward City.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-5.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-5.png
After leaving the house, I found a Caterpie in the grass. I caught it by Leech Seeding it and then spamming Agility until its health was down enough for a Pokeball, and then, accidentally didn't nickname it. I really have to find the nickname rater now...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-4.png
Soon after, we arrive at Hayward City. In this gate house, the aide will give you a Super Rod by the time you catch 70 Pokemon. Since this is a Nuzlucke Run, this is never going to happen for me.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-3.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-3.png
After healing, I started to Explore Hayward. Here, we have a lab where you can trade a Clefairy for a Lapras and revive fossils. But, if you don't have any, the researcher will tell you to "get out".
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-3.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-3.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-2.png
What else can we find in Hayward City? Something that you can't enter until you beat the Rijon (the name of this region) league, a department store (I'll see what you can do inside it later on) and... the next rival battle. I should have seen it coming, but I didn't, so I was unprepared.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-2.png
I didn't make a screenshot of his first Pokemon, but I can remember that it was a Koffing. It poisoned and weakened Psyduck, and I had to switch to Sawr II to finish it off, or else Psyduck wouldn't have had enough remaining HP to get back to the Pokemon center.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-1.png
Next Pokemon: A Dodou. Great, my entire team is Flying-weak. Hitmonchan almost died here, so by risking its life for the life of the others it at least removed a part of the guilt for killing Sharifa.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-1.png
Next Pokemon is Cubone. Sawr II made short work of it.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-1.png
And, the last Pokemon is, luckily, Charmander. If it would have been Charmeleon, I would have been screwed, my team was too weakened at that point to deal with something evolved.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15.png
After a very narrow battle in which both of Sawr's Razor Leaves critted (only 1 crit was needed), Charmander died without doing any greater harm than putting Sawr II at low HP.

Next: Finishing the exploration of Hayward (hopefully without any further surprises), grinding Caterpie. And maybe Psyduck too. Story progress will have to wait some more.

Damn, I had already partially written my next update, then pressed f5 for some reason, and now I have to write it all again. Great.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-17.png
So, here we got a map, which is going to be useful since I'm not always going to find on on a wall, and behind the house, we found...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-6.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-6.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-6.png
...the same rocket you find in Cerulean. As you can probably imagine, that Drowzee caused me some major problems.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-5.png
At least Hitmonchan died a hero's death because it had saved Sawr II's live twice by then, which outweighs Sharifa II's death.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-4.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-4.png
So, I got the Dig TM, but lost Hitmonchan. Not good.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-4.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-4.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-3.png
Department store time. Here, we bought 10 Pokeballs and a Beer. We are going to need it later. Also we got free stuff, the Counter TM. There are also a girl who wants orbs and a ton of TMs to buy (this includes the elemental beams), but I don't have any orbs and I'm short on money.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-18.png
So, I taught Psyduck Dig (because what can possibly go wrong with a 100 Power ground move?) and started grinding.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-7.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-7.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-7.png
Highlights of grinding so far. But I'm not ready yet.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-19.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-8.png
Not pictured: String Shot -> Sleep Powder at level 17. Accidentally didn't take a Screenshot.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-9.png
Screw Supersonic.

Later....
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-20.png
So much better.

In particular, than means:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-9.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-8.png
Quite obviously, I would be screwed without this guy. Sacrificing Hitmonchan against that Drowzee was worth it, because Ivysaur's life is worth so incredibly much more.

Still refuses to learn any moves by itself. I would have had a hard time grinding it if it wasn't for my TMs.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-5.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-5.png
I have seen a lot of Nuzlocke runs where Butterfree played a major role, and I think this Butterfree has the potential for that as well.
Fun Fact (in case you didn't notice): Butterfree has exactly 1 Exp Point more than Psyduck.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_MAP-1.png
And, of course, here's the map. Didn't change a lot. I guess I'll go west first since that route seems to be short.

No more updates until today's evening because there's a thunderstorm approaching.
Spoiler:

Ok, that thunderstorm I was anticipating didn't quite happen, that noise was probably a garbage can or something instead.
So, I continued.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-21.png
As planned, I first looked what there is in the west, and the only thing I found were a Dragonbreath TM that I can't use, a lass and...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-10.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-10.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-9.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-7.png
...Rattata. Obligatory top percentage joke included, even though I haven't played english HGSS yet.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-6.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-6.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-5.png
Grinded. Always better than not grinding.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-5.png
The route to the east. All I found here were a cut tree, another cut tree and...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-4.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-3.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-2.png
Rattata. This one was level 14 already. Grinded it up as well, one can't go wrong with Raticates.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-2.png
And, the only remaining route: the northern one, where I got surprised by my rival yesterday. Here, I found some rocks, some more rocks and...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-2.png
...not Rattata, but Oddish. Surprise, surprise.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-1.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16.png
Well, I decided I need something in the box, just in case...
Team isn't worth posting since both Raticates still have the standard moveset of Tackle/Tail Whip/Quick Attack/Hyper Fang and no one else leveled.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_MAP-2.png
The map. That eastern route where I caught Duplicate is huge...
Next: Heading north. Current route looks a bit like Nugget Bridge to me (just with rocks instead of water), so there'll be a lot of fights.

More Update.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-22.png
So, after taking out the standard nugget bridge trainers including the Rocket, we found the T-Wave TM. For some reason, Raticate can't learn it in this game.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-11.png
Next route. Quite a bit of trainer battles awaited here.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-11.png
Do not want.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-10.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-8.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-7.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-7.png
In the grass, we found Kakuna. At first, I was disapponted, but now I really like my Beedrill, it's awesome.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-6.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-6.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-5.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-4.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-3.png
Grindan.
I used Raticate in that 4th screenshot because Fury Attack was out of PP. Also, Rage is a disappointment since you get locked into it. Still, better than Focus Energy.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-3.png
And a look at the team at this point. Not too bad considering I already had so many losses.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-3.png
Continued on the Route where Pain was caught. Found the Cut HM here, not sure who I'll give it to yet.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-2.png
Once again: Do not want.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16-1.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a17.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a18.png
This route ends with a guardhouse in which the Swift TM can be obtained. I decided to save it, I might need it more later on.
A bit further north...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a19.png
Azalea Town?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a20.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a21.png
Also, we find another Guardhouse here that leads to the cycling road. A Shellder can be traded for a Rhyhorn here.
Below the guardhouse is a patch of grass with 3 Bird Catchers (one of them had a Natu), and...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a22.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a23.png
Rattata, of course. I'm running out of ideas for Rattata nicknames...
Next: Owsauri City, which is only a bit to the east. Let's see what awaits us there.

No I mean the steps you did for posting!

Anyways, I started out, named myself Lumm and went to proffessor elm and picked cyndaquil which I nicknamed Henning (Swedish name)
Anyways, I went along for a little while and run into a wild HootHoot, which I nicknamed Jasmine. We continued for a while (this was after mr.pokemon of course) and on the next route, I found a Poliwag, that I named Isabelle, whom I intend on keeping through the whole game. Of course, I have to battle the 2 youngsters right up there, and while trying to train Jasmine Ratata spammed the tail whip and OHKO'd Jasmine D:
I went up to Violet city and went to Sprout tower, where I found a Gastly which I caught and nicknamed Charlotte (all randomly generated), I won against the sprout master with 1 hp left on Charlotte. I then went to the gym, where I only really used Henning. So here's my team:

:t156: Henning-Tackle-Leer-Smokescreen-Ember Lvl 14
:t092: Charlotte-Lick-Hypnosis Lvl 6
:t060: Isabelle-Bubble-Hypnosis Lvl 10

DEAD x_x
:t163: Jasmine-Tackle-Growl Lvl 2-killed by Rattata

mondays suck May 25th, 2010 3:44 AM

So, here's the result of my exploration of Owsauri City:
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-23.png
First, a Daycare.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-12.png
Of course, the city has a Market. I bought some Pokeballs there.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-12.png
A game corner. I don't have the Coin Case yet, so I don't know what you can win there. And no, there is no poster.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-11.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-9.png
An Ice Gym. Great, a type I'm weak against.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-8.png
And the name rater is here, finally I found him.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-8.png
Conspiracy Psyduck, anyone?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-7.png
Random Generator'd.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-7.png
Only way out of the town.

So, I guess, we have to defeat the Ice Gym, then Cut will be activated and we will get access to the area east of Hayward. Also, to the grass on the route between Seashore City and Gravel Town.

So, we take on the gym, and...
Spoiler:
we see that the first trainer only has level 16 Pokemon. Could be worse. So, Pain continued slaying the gym trainers, so that we can now challenge...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-13.png
... Lily, who looks like Misty. Surprisingly.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-13.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-12.png
She had the two strongest Ice Pokemon that there are in this gen (excluding Articuno of course), but Duplicate handled them pretty well.
Hyper Fang OHKOd Jynx. Against Lapras, my first Hyper Fang was a crit that almost killed it. Then, Lily used an X-Defend, which didn't do anything, because the next Hyper Fang killed it.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-10.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-9.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-9.png
The rewards. Which are awesome. I'm planning to give Cut to Pain because it would actually be an improvement and Ice Beam to Truth. Can't go wrong with giving Ice moves to Waters. And Golduck is going to have a far better special stat than the Raticates have.
Next: Clearing out areas behind Cut trees. There are a lot of them. We are going to skip Seashore gym for now though, I have bad memories from when I played Brown before. Getting wiped with a high-30s-team isn't exactly encouraging to enter that thing again too soon.

...and the next Update is here:
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-25.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-14.png
As planned.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-14.png
No thanks.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-13.png
The route between Seashore and Gravel. Took quite a while to get back here.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-11.png
So, we meet Pidgey, and...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-10.png
...kill it.
Why? Well, I weakened it with Confusion to something between maybe 25% and 45% HP, then thought that I might weaken it some more with Tackle. I was wrong, Tackle KOd.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-10.png
Went back all the way to Hayward and found a TM. Saving it for later.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-8.png
After fighting a ton of trainers, we find this cave. Great, this means new Pokemon.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-8.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-6.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-5.png
And we get Cubone. I was about to name it Gevatter Tod, but that didn't quite fit. I'm planning to use this thing, instead of Duplicate probably.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-4.png
Meanwhile, TFP leveled up, and...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-4.png
... survived the first Selfdestruct in this run. What the hell was I thinking when I had Raticate as my lead against a Hiker...?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-4.png
Level 28, and Truth finally decides to learn a move. And it's Tail Whip. No, I don't really need that, thanks.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-3.png
Later, we finally find the exit. Damn, this cave was huge...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16-2.png
And the first thing we see are a Psyduck and some houses. So where are we now exactly?

Moraga Town it's not exactly a Town, but it's confusing as hell. In particular, that means:
Spoiler:

So, after finding the Pokemon Center, which was a hard task, I started exploring the thing.
Right near the Pokemon Center, we have the Gym.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-26.png
Looks grassy to me. My Bugs are going to be happy about this when we challenge it.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-15.png
This grandma gives out the Mimic TM.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-15.png
As a reward for cutting a tree, we get this. Unfortunately, I don't have a bird though. And I don't exactly know which badge it requires.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-14.png
Indeed.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-12.png
No more Pokeballs. Hard times await...
There are Leaf Stones here though.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-11.png
And we get a Coin Case. We'll see what we can get for money in Owsauri later.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-11.png
Just one of these trainer schools. Uneccessary after playing your first 30 minutes of Pokemon.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-9.png
Another tunnel. The final Nido evolutions can be traded here for each other.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-9.png
And the route to the east. If the map is right, it can't be very long.

Hell of a lot of things to do for a place that has a name ending with Town, right?
Next: More exploring. First, we will take the tunnel, let's see what awaits.

Aaargh, I had already written all this, but then accidentally closed Firefox, and now I have to write everything again. Thank god it's screenshot based.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-27.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-16.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-16.png
So, the tunnel. At first thing looked promising, but then it turned out there was nothing but water...and a Bird Keeper.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-15.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-13.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-12.png
So, instead we go to the short route on the east, and find Pidgey. One of the most awesome Pidgeys I ever found, as it will turn out.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-12.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-10.png
Sorry, Duplicate, but I need some variety. Cubone turned out useless by the way, as it only knows Growl.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-10.png
And the bird learns to Fly.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-7.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-6.png
Interesting: Gust doesn't have the Normal type or Flying type, it has the Wind type...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-5.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-4.png
...which sucks.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-5.png
As you can probably imagine from that battle against that Pidgey, Freebird evolved at some point. 5 levels later than usual, but whatever.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-28.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-17.png
And we take on the gym because I feel like it. It's even more Celadon gym-ish than it seemed to be at first sight.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-17.png
Time for ErikaLois. Never heard that name before, so I misread it as Louis.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-16.png
OHKO.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-14.png
OHKO.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-13.png
OHKO.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-13.png
If that ain't awesome, what's awesome then?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-11.png
Also, we get rewards. Strength? BUT I WANTED FLY!
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-11.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-8.png
...contains Giga Drain which has like 5 PP and therefore sucks. But, I teach it to Phydarad anyways. Because I can. And because it's actually a great improvement. If it would just have some more PP....


Team Time!
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-29.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-18.png
Always awesome. A real lifesaver in that huge cave before this town.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-18.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-17.png
Can't wait for this to evolve.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-15.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-14.png
Deleted Poison-P. because I need Tackle for catching.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-14.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-12.png
Yes, I decided to go with my original Raticate. Who still has the standard moveset...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-12.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-9.png
Could need 1 or 2 better moves. Twinneedle alone makes this already awesome though. Generally, I'm positively surprised.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-7.pnghttp://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-6.png
Do I really need to say anything?


http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_MAP-3.png
And the map. Yes, that one part there is confusing since the cave ended right in this town. Also, I don't know as what that area (which I can't access because of water) below the short route counts.


kevcrash May 25th, 2010 5:42 PM

So here's my update

I went down through the route under Violet City and run into an Ekans! I named it Ethan (Randomly generated), went down to that cave near Azalea and found a Sandshrew (useless-named Meaghan) and went onwards and killed rockets at slowpoke well, instead of slowpoke being the firstg found, there's Zubat! ( Always fun)-named Moorea (mom gave me a weird name). Anyways I beat the leader and beat my rival (It was so difficult) and now I'm training my team near Goldenrod, oh and Charlotte died in the Rival battle D:
Here we are:

:t041: Moorea-Leechlife-Supersonic-Swift-Bite-Lvl 15
:t156: Henning-Tackle-Leer-Smokescreen-Ember-Lvl 19
:t027: Meaghan-Scratch-DefenseCurl-Cut-Lvl 6
:t060: Isabelle-Bubble-Hypnosis-WaterGun-Lvl 17
:t054: Gommo-Scratch-TailWhip-Lvl 7

DEAD
:t163: Jasmine-Tackle-Growl-Lvl2-Killed by Rattata
:t092: Charlotte-Lick-Hypnosis-Lvl12-Killed by Zubat

mondays suck May 26th, 2010 7:16 AM

Since we did everything in Moraga Town, it's now time to head further to the east, to Jaeru City. Which is pretty small, so there's not much to do here.
Spoiler:

So, what do we find?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-30.png?t=1274882866
Requires 50 Pokemon.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-19.png?t=1274882866
Bike shop. One more reason to go back to Owsauri on an occassion since the cycling road was near there.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-19.png?t=1274882866
Thunderstones. But no Pokeballs, onyl Great Balls...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-18.png?t=1274882866
Obviously, an electric gym.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-16.png?t=1274882866
So Steel type exists in this game... Sawr II still destroyed the gym trainers, but if the leader has a Magneton, things may become difficult. Time to grind.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-31.png?t=1274884927
Badass.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-20.png?t=1274884927http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-20.png?t=1274884927http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-19.png?t=1274884927http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-17.png?t=1274884927
Moveset changes. Phydarad forgot Confusion, Pain forgot Harden, Freebird forgot Gust.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-15.png?t=1274884927
Level 32 should be enough, so let's take on Sparky.

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-32.png?t=1274885227
In case you didn't expect it, he looks like Surge.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-21.png?t=1274885227
Pokemon are Raichu,
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-21.png?t=1274885227
Electabuzz (this one was rather annoying because Razor Leaf missed like 3 times in a row)
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-20.png?t=1274885227
and Jolteon. Why do I think that there will be a Fire-type leader with a Flareon, why...?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-18.png?t=1274885227http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-16.png?t=1274885227
Rewards are pretty much the same as in the original.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-33.png?t=1274885471
So, we fly back to Owsauri City...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-22.png?t=1274885471
...and look what there's to win in the game corner. This is looking pretty awesome.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-22.png?t=1274885471
2 Eevees? And Tyrogue is that expensive? Weird.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-21.png?t=1274885471
RCs, Toxic and ... what the hell is TM 41?

I'll probably get Cyndaquil here, since I already have Sawr II who I am not planning to lose, and water Pokemon are plentyful in all Pokemon games....and I have Truth.

Now, let's take a look at the cycling road.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-34.png?t=1274886234
Looked at the map, it still belongs a route I already was at. I met a level 14 Spearow here, which fits.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-23.png?t=1274886234
I hate you game.
Found a biker a bit later. 5 Pokemon? Probably 5 level 20 Koffings, I thought. Well, I was wrong.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-23.png?t=1274886234
Imagine my facial expression at this point. Just imagine it.
Dig did like nothing, and Truth got poisoned. Sawr II managed to handle the beast though.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-22.png?t=1274886234
This thing also went down, luckily.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-19.png?t=1274886234
At first, I was like *lolglitch*, but then I saddened.
TFP got avenged by Sawr II and Freebird, but still...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-17.png?t=1274886234
Another Muk. Doesn't look good for me, Sawr II can't take much more.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-15.png?t=1274886234
I hate you game. Pain avenged Freebird, but...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-13.png?t=1274886234
..then, this was sent out.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-13.png?t=1274886234
Seriously, what the hell?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-10.png?t=1274886234
Somehow, I managed to Leech Seed it without Sawr II dying, and Psybeam spam from Phydarad brought it down eventually.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-8.png?t=1274886234
Team after the battle. Shortly ago, they were proud winners of the fourth gym, but now...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-7.png?t=1274886234http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-6.png?t=1274886234http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-6.png?t=1274886234
I hate you, game. Putting that overleveled Biker there is ******** (<-apparently wordfilter ruined my appropriate cursing here), and you know it.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-5.png?t=1274886234
The survivors. Rebuilding is not going to be easy...

Rebuildan.

Duplicate was an obvious choice (going to avenge his brother, well he would be if that biker wasn't already dead...), while the rest was quite forced.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-23.png?t=1274895600
Someone needed to get that move, no other way to get back otherwise.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-20.png?t=1274895600
OH ArceusDAMMIT NOT THAT CAVE AGAIN
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-18.png?t=1274895600
Trainer was blocking the patch of grass east of Jaeru. Had a Flaaffy. Interesting.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-16.png?t=1274895600
That Spearow eat up 3 Pokeballs. Was that really worth it.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-14.png?t=1274895600
This time it shall be for real.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-14.png?t=1274895600http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-11.png?t=1274895600
Don't need Cut right now. I might be in need of some Backup later though.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-9.png?t=1274895600
Obligatory. I don't want to have to go through that cave AGAIN.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-8.png?t=1274895600
This was hard work. Freebird was sooo much better...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-36.png?t=1274897987
Grinding continued.
And, at level 25, Cubone finally learned another move than Growl:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-25.png?t=1274897987
...Leer. You know what?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-25.png?t=1274897987
Screw this I don't need 6 Pokemon.

Later...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-24.png?t=1274897987
Let's continue. But wait, first...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-21.png?t=1274897987
Yeah, I looked up when Psyduck evolves in the meantime.

More story progress.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-37.png?t=1274898635http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-26.png?t=1274898635http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-26.png?t=1274898635
To the north of Jaeru, we find an interesting route that leades to the Pokemon league.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-25.png?t=1274898635http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-22.png?t=1274898635http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-19.png?t=1274898635
To the east, we find a couple of Johto Pokemon that are included in this hack. I wonder if there is Yanmega...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-17.png?t=1274898635
Hell, this is creepy.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-15.png?t=1274898635
After we got rid of the Creepytuff, we found these two buildings.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-15.png?t=1274898635http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-12.png?t=1274898635
Remember the beer (that replaced Fresh Water) that we bought in Hayward? No? Well, we'll need it here.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-10.png?t=1274898635
Team Rocket time. Also, we will get a Pokemon in the basement.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-38.png?t=1274899166
Entrance to said basement. Here, Seismic Toss, a PP Up and the Up-Grade (which works like a stone in this game, if I remember correctly) can be found.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-27.png?t=1274899166http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-27.png?t=1274899166
Great. There's awesome stuff like Gastly and Grimer down here, and also, Spinarak (not that good, but still a whole lot cooler than Paras) is quite common. But, the RNG gods decide to give us yet another derp for the team.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-39.png?t=1274900166
At first, I did actually start grinding, but after 3 or so battles, I decided I don't need a Pokemon with 2 4x weaknesses and bad overall stats.
So...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-28.png?t=1274900166
Rocket time instead of grinding time.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-28.png?t=1274900166
Looks like we need a Card Key. Interestingly, after finishing this warehouse, I still don't have one.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-26.png?t=1274900166
Hell Yes.
I had switched at that point because some guy decided to spam Poison types at me. Overall, TR had a bigger variety than usual though.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-23.png?t=1274900166
Guillotine. Scared the hell out of me. Thank god I used Dig at that time.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-20.png?t=1274900166
And the epic boss battle is right ahead. I decide to go healing first though.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-18.png?t=1274900166
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-16.png?t=1274900166
I was expecting Ground types, not this. Not a really favorable match up, so I switch.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-16.png?t=1274900166
Rhyhorn. Easy.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-13.png?t=1274900166
Marowak. Also easy. I never got to know whether it knew anything else than Growl and Leer.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-11.png?t=1274900166
This thing might have become dangerous, but thankfully Giovanni never decided to use STAB always crit Slash and kept lowering my statuses instead.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-9.png?t=1274900166
Surprise ensues: We don't get a Masterball, we get a Shiny Stone. Which means that either Togepi or Roselia is in the game. I guess it will be Togepi...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-7.png?t=1274900166
And, from the PC, I get the Beer I had deposited long ago.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-7.png?t=1274900166
So, the guardian steals our beer, but we can get through his gatehouse.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-6.png?t=1274900166
Let's see what awaits here.

Next city time. A rather strange one this time

There's no gym in this town, so I guess no leader with Flareon...

Wait, what?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-21.png?t=1274905311
And who is going to find him?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-19.png?t=1274905311
Looked like a normal house, but inside is some kind of forest. Strange.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-17.png?t=1274905311
A Cave.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-17.png?t=1274905311
The route to the south. Unfortunately I don't have Oddish with me.

For Some reason, Botan City seems to lack a Pokemon Center, which does pretty much suck.

Team Time, since this is the last update for today.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-41.png?t=1274905686http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-30.png?t=1274905686
Could need some minor moveset improvements. Still my MVP up to now, by far.

Awesome for catching Pokemon and has Psychic moves.

Raticate. Just Raticate. Hyper Fang is, as always, awesome.

Drill Peck. Just Drill Peck. Fearow doesn't need anything else.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_MAP-4.png?t=1274905686
Map. Didn't change too much. For some reason, Silph Warehouse is nowhere on this map, but whatever. It's on a finished route anyways.

Next: Getting an actually good 6th teammember. I already have planned something. only 6000 money to go, and I still have a Nugget on the Box
However, since that town we are actually in looks pretty Lavender-ish, I might get a Gastly as well. Or maybe even a Missingno since that one guy talked about them... I don't think I would really want to train a Missingno though, I'd rather have real Pokemon.

No one posted overnight? Ah, whatever...
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-42.png?t=1274979753
In that cave, we find a Natu. Also, Phanpy is pretty common there.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-31.png?t=1274979753
Xatu looks like some kind of deity. So Sacrifice to it.

Castro? Fidel Castro? So we're going to Cuba?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-23.png?t=1274979753
Route to the south. I wanted to have this thing, but...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-21.png?t=1274979753
...I didn't get it.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-19.png?t=1274979753
The SS. Anne? Interesting.
Looks like we're going to see Mura again soon.

TM 30? Teleport? Well, at least I can make some money out of it...

Grindan forever. And yes, I also got the rest of my team up to level 36 on that occassion.
Next: Exploring Cuba. May or not include the SS.Anne.

Exploring+Gym Leader
Spoiler:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-21.png?t=1274982524
Found in a big house right next to the gym. Apparently based on Cinnabar Mansion. And, of course, I entered the battle unprepared and the Growlithe got away. I'll look around some more in this house later on.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-21.png?t=1274982524
I don't want Ultraballs, I want Pokeballs. Damn...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-17.png?t=1274982524
Thought this house was a gatehouse that leads somewhere, and instead I find an item. Whatever that thing might be, I honestly have no idea.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-14.png?t=1274982524
5 or 6 trainers that got Drill Pecked to death later...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-10.png?t=1274982524http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-8.png?t=1274982524http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-8.png?t=1274982524
Yeah, I entered that battle unprepared. I thought it was just one more of these Blackbelts. All these went down easily though, even though their levels were frighteningly high, considering all the time I already spent on grinding... Probably I should have done something before this... Maybe going north into that creepy forest-house-thing first when I was at Botan...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-7.png?t=1274982524
Oh Crap. No way to OHKO this. Let's pray it doesn't know Rock Slide.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16-3.png?t=1274982524
That was luckily not Rock Slide, it was Dynamicpunch. Which still hurt a lot. But, for some reason didn't confuse. Looks like the creator of the hack screwed up on that part.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a17-1.png?t=1274982524
So, Machamp dies a deserved and painful death, and I get rewards for it, as usual.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a18-1.png?t=1274982524http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a19-1.png?t=1274982524http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a20-1.png?t=1274982524
So the Surf HM has to be near... Probably either on SS.Anne or in that Cinnabar mansion thing. But then again, Strength has been enabled quite a while ago, but still isn't usable...

Grinding time. I have to get a team up to level 40.
Decided I might as well explore that house first, and get some levels there. That thing turned out to be huge.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-45.png?t=1274984588
Look of the switches changed apparently.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-34.png?t=1274984588
No Mewtwo story?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-34.png?t=1274984588http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-32.png?t=1274984588http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-29.png?t=1274984588
So someone's paren'ts died? 7 years ago? Interesting.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-26.png?t=1274984588
Teleporters.
As I had to find out soon, they're not just Teleporters they're one-way-teleporters. The two on the right lead to the basement, the one on the left leads back.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-24.png?t=1274984588http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-22.png?t=1274984588
Where was that route again? I kinda forgot...

Crit Selfdestruct didn't kill? Awesome. And people talk about Fire-types being frail... Ezalb wasn't even at full HP at that time...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-15.png?t=1274984588
The basement turned out to be a cave. With some pretty strong Pokemon inside, like for example...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-11.png?t=1274984588
...Graveler, as this picture that doesn't quite look like it should, shows.
Also, I hate inaccurate moves like Octazooka.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-9.png?t=1274984588
Truth took it like a beast.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-9.png?t=1274984588
Wait, what?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-8.png?t=1274984588
Wait, what? [2]
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16-4.png?t=1274984588
Bye Scratch.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a17-2.png?t=1274984588
Useless.

wait, what? [3]


So, the exploration of that mansion didn't quite lead to what I was expecting (Ticket or Surf), but weird items. Well, at least some extreme badassness was shown.
Team is still far from being entirely at level 40, so I'll need some grinding. No way around it.
Interesting fact I found out while grinding: Bellsprout is not a Poison type in this game. I didn't find out yet what it is, but it certainly isn't Poison.

Now, after having finished grinding to level 40, we take on that forest in Botan City.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-46.png?t=1274986430http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-35.png?t=1274986430http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-35.png?t=1274986430
All we find is a teleporter, that leads to a cave. Where the next rival battle awaits.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-33.png?t=1274986430
I remembered his lead being Koffing the last time, so I hoped it would be that way again. And it was that way again. And, looking at the levels... I probably should really have done this way before...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-30.png?t=1274986430
Not the best matchup, but since I have an advantage of 11 levels, I decided to keep Phydarad in.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-27.png?t=1274986430
This one was tough. For some reason, Psybeam didn't exactly do a lot, and Gastly did have a couple of pretty annoying moves.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-25.png?t=1274986430
...I think I have to get a Fighting Pokemon somewhere, I feel like there is going to be a Tyranitar somewhere near the end of the game...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-23.png?t=1274986430
Switched because I didn't want Phydarad to get killed by a rock move. And yes, I realized my stupidity here, I should have switched to Truth already when I was facing that Larvitar.
I still won though.

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-47.png?t=1274987394
Cave (which had no Pokemon by the way) led to this point.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-36.png?t=1274987394
Close Call. Just like Bellsprout, Gastly seems to have his Poison type removed.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-36.png?t=1274987394
Card Key? For Silph? Here? Interesting.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-34.png?t=1274987394http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-31.png?t=1274987394http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-28.png?t=1274987394
First wild Pokemon. Just the usual ghost in disguise. Can't use moves against, can't catch, only thing that works is running. So, no Pokemon for me in this area...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-24.png?t=1274987394
What the hell? How can Gastly resist Flying? What type did they give him? It can't be Rock or Steel, because Sawr II's Razor Leaf always worked fine against these things.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-24.png?t=1274987394
Don't ever step on this thing. Game will freeze. This is what made me stop playing Brown when I played it a while ago: I had been playing for a pretty long time, without having bothered to save, and then walked into that thing. That ruined stuff for me that time...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-19.png?t=1274987394
Making Razor Leaf even more powerful? Hell yeah, why not?
By now, it came to my mind that crits ignore raised stats, but I can't change it anymore now. Well, Sawr II will get Sleep Powder soon anyways.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-16.png?t=1274987394http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-12.png?t=1274987394http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-10.png?t=1274987394
I really believed this at first, but it turned out this is just Marowak in disguise. Since I don't have a Pokedoll or Silph Scope, I have no idea what might be behind that last teleporter. Looks like we'll have to return here later.
Next: Castro Forest. The only thing (apart from the rest of cycling road) I can access and haven't been to yet.

As promised, the forest:
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-48.png?t=1274988756
They do, actually. At least if foolish attempts of killing the player character by using level 30 bugs count as messing around.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-37.png?t=1274988756http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-37.png?t=1274988756
Items. That trade stone looks interesting, if it's what I suppose, I think they should include it into the real games. But, since I don't have any of Kadabra and friends, it's of no use for me.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-35.png?t=1274988756
Pokemon only spawn at the end of this forest. For some reason.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-32.png?t=1274988756
Seriously, what exactly is a level 27 Beedrill going to learn? Derpiest thing the game gave me up to now. Pain was so incredibly much better than this....
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-29.png?t=1274988756http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-27.png?t=1274988756http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-25.png?t=1274988756http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-25.png?t=1274988756
Weird stairs, that lead to some weird basement, that leads into some weird house, that... IT'S A TRAP!
After defeating the guy, I looked into the grass.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-20.png?t=1274988756http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-17.png?t=1274988756
Oh come on, game... One derp after another... It's totally not like I already have a Golduck that ate tons of TMs...
Later, I found out there are also Tauros and Farfetch'd on this route. Why didn't I get one of THEM?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-13.png?t=1274988756
Route ends with Snorlax, but since I don't have the Silph Scope yet, I can't remove Marowak or whatever the ghost is in this game. Therefore, I can't save the guy who is probably behind that one teleporter, and therefore I'm not going to receive the Pokeflute soon...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-11.png?t=1274988756
The other exit of the forest leads to...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-10.png?t=1274988756
...Water. That route is actually entirely blocked by it.

What locations are left to search for stuff that could help to continue...?
- Cycling Road (including grinding to at least level 45 before, ugh...)
- Seashore Gym (again, bad experiences here, this time from the past)
- The items behind the closed doors in Silph. Yes, I think I'll go there first.

So...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-49.png?t=1274989659http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-38.png?t=1274989659
This might actually be worth it. Phydarad can't learn it though, I thought it could...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-38.png?t=1274989659
I also got another Trade Stone and a Red Amulet.
I think I'll just go to that ghost thing with the Red Amulet and all other Key Items I have of which I don't know what they do and then look if something works.
...
Turned out the only other unknown key item I still had on the PC was "Virus Scan". And the ghost is disguised as Missingno in this game... Yeah, I should have noticed this earlier...
*deposits Red Amulet again*
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-50.png?t=1274990250
Yes, that seems to work.
(later)
And the ghost is...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-39.png?t=1274990250
...Cubone's mother, as usual. Just that the Kangaskhan-theory was applied in this case.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-36.png?t=1274990250http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-33.png?t=1274990250http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-30.png?t=1274990250http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-28.png?t=1274990250
Since when do Kangaskhans have the ability to disguise as Missingnos?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-26.png?t=1274990250
Oh yeah, Team Rocket is also there.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-26.png?t=1274990250http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-21.png?t=1274990250http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-18.png?t=1274990250
Awesome.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-14.png?t=1274990250
Expectedly, the item is the Pokeflute. Time for Snorlax, I guess. I found out this is a new route by the way. And, since this route isn't going to lead anywhere, there has to be an item here somewhere. An important item.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-51.png?t=1274990934http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-40.png?t=1274990934http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-40.png?t=1274990934
Usual Text, Usual Pokemon.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-37.png?t=1274990934
No idea why I was leading with Truth here.
So, I weakened it a bit with Truth until it used Rest. Then, I switched to Duplicate and used Super Fang three (or four?) times. Then, I switched to Phydarad, put it asleep and throwed one Pokeball.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-34.png?t=1274990934
Caught. Admittedly, I had some luck that it didn't just rest again, but it didn't.
And seriously, I would have expected more from Snorlax than getting caught with just one Pokeball...

Enough updates for today. Here are the team and the map.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-52.png?t=1274991566http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-41.png?t=1274991566
I found out that Growth does actually do something for me. A strong trainer with 3 Electabuzzes that could live a crit Razor Leaf, helped me finding that out, because after Growth, Razor Leaf OHKOd.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-41.png?t=1274991566http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-38.png?t=1274991566
I want Surf. It's about time, I think.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-35.png?t=1274991566http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-32.png?t=1274991566
No changes, except the level of course.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-29.png?t=1274991566http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-27.png?t=1274991566
Still, I didn't use even 1 TM on this... maybe I should... Then again, Raticates always seem to die sooner or later...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-27.png?t=1274991566http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-22.png?t=1274991566
Like Phydarad, this didn't change.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-19.png?t=1274991566http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-15.png?t=1274991566
Look at that monstrous Special stat. No, I certainly don't regret buying this at Owsauri, it has been going great so far. Lacks some move variety, but then again..., 4 of my 6 team Pokemon do that.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_MAP-5.png?t=1274991566
Actually I can still catch a Pokemon in Castro Valley, that mansion was an area for itself. The map said so when I was inside, but for some reason, it's not on the map.

Next: Whatever is in the storyline after Snorlax.

Massive Update.

Obtained Stuff.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-39.png?t=1275065839
Finally.

Found a huge building.Turned out to be the Power Plant.
Seriously, why does Pikachu look like Clefairy?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-30.png?t=1275065839http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-28.png?t=1275065839
Found some items.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-28.png?t=1275065839
Next: That route south of Owsauri.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-23.png?t=1275065839http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-20.png?t=1275065839
Tentacool. It's everywhere on water routes (at least before the introduction of Wingull), and it's awesome when trained.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-16.png?t=1275065839
Turned out that route leads to nowhere.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-11.png?t=1275065839
Hayward-Seashore route.
I already caught Phydarad here, so no Water Pokemon for me here.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-9.png?t=1275065839
Found another trade stone here, also interesting cave there. I'll have to get back here later.

Entered cave. Seems to have no name.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a23-1.png?t=1275065839
Trainer challenged me. Oh crap.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a24.png?t=1275065839
I actually got rid of the Mismagius and the Ariados that followed it, but there was no way to beat this thing.
I hate you, game.
I REALLY HATE YOU, GAME.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a25.png?t=1275066494
The fallen. NEVER FORGET.

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-54.png?t=1275066690
I'm not giving up. I will continue. For Sawr II. For The Truth. For Phydarad. For DrillPeck. And for Ezalb. Their deaths will not be unavenged.

North of Castro Valley, there is this cave.

Found Marill here. Sadly Huge Power doesn't exist yet...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-41.png?t=1275134564
That cave was HUGE... This is the western end, and that ladder leads to a rather strange place.

Items. I also found a Dusk Stone.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-18.png?t=1275134564
CAn't go any further here. So, guess, I'll just...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-13.png?t=1275134564
Dammit.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-10.png?t=1275134564
Much later. Fishing in Castro Valley.

Seriosuly.

Two ways to go here.

To the east, there is a gym, and nothing else. I'll save this for later, because since it looks Blaine-ish, it must be strong. That leader probably has an Arceus.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a24-1.png?t=1275134564
To the west, a water route. Saved for later.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a25-1.png?t=1275134564
Because first, it's time to finish Cycling Road.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a26.png?t=1275134564
And I don't like you too, you murderer.

Can't Surf here...

Damn, that was my last Pokeball. So, I guess no more new Pokemon for me since there are almost nowhere Pokeballs lying around in this region.

Paradox: The cycling route becomes a watery route here, but it's still going uphill.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a32.png?t=1275134564
I also have to do Johto? I'm already afraid of that Miltank...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a33.png?t=1275134564http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a34.png?t=1275134564http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a35.png?t=1275134564http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a36.png?t=1275134564
Cycling route ends somewhere far in the south with... A Snorlax. Which I can't catch.

Next: Snorlax. And the stuff behind it.

The Johto part of this game
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-57.png?t=1275145257
I had no choice but to kill it.

Daycare is blocked, and the way to Goldenrod is blocked as well...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-39.png?t=1275145257
So, I go to the south.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-36.png?t=1275145257
Also found Razor Fang
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-33.png?t=1275145257
Whatever a Gold Leaf is...?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-31.png?t=1275145257
Azalea, but without Slowpokes.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-31.png?t=1275145257http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-26.png?t=1275145257
Kurt is blocked, that Farfetch'd guy's house is also blocked, and even the Market is blocked. Only the Pokemon center and gym are open.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-23.png?t=1275145257
Union cave is blocked as well.

But Slowpoke well is open. Got a King's Rock here.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-13.png?t=1275145257
Seems like an Earthquake is the excuse for all these places being blocked....
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-11.png?t=1275145257
And, once again, I accidentally didn't heal before the battle. It's not going to matter this time, but I shall not do it again. Too risky.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16-7.png?t=1275145257http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a17-5.png?t=1275145257http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a18-5.png?t=1275145257
Easy up to this point.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a19-4.png?t=1275145257
Yanmega actually survived a Fly, but it didn't do anything.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a20-4.png?t=1275145257
I decide to switch.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a21-3.png?t=1275145257
FLAWLESS VICTORY.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a22-3.png?t=1275145257http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a23-3.png?t=1275145257
Surprisingly, none of them is a bug.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a24-2.png?t=1275145257http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a25-2.png?t=1275145257
Guess which one I'll choose.

Next: Choosing one of these Pokemon.
Also, Seashore gym. I should be strong enough now.

Decided to skip that Pokemon choice until I really need one. I'm not planning to replace anyone in my current team anyways.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-58.png?t=1275165196
So, instead, I head...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-46.png?t=1275165196
...to Seashore. Just to realize I need Cut for this.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-46.png?t=1275165196
Also, my item storage room is full. I'll have to sell/use some stuff I guess...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-43.png?t=1275165196
Decided to deposit Sea Zubat because...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-40.png?t=1275165196http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-37.png?t=1275165196http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-34.png?t=1275165196
...This is the most psychic gym ever. Even though there are just as many ghost trainers.
Turned out I need Surf to reach the leader here, so I deposited Gevatter instead. Wouldn't have done much in this gym with that special stat. Duplicate's Special might not be much better, but always when I deposited Duplicate for some reason, something bad always happened soon. Not going to make that mistake again.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-32.png?t=1275165196
And here's that famous trainer who walks over water.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-32.png?t=1275165196
Gym leader time.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-27.png?t=1275165196
First, a Starmie.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-24.png?t=1275165196
Yeah, I know. I have already won at that point. Except if something like Gallade or Medicham gets thrown in.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-20.png?t=1275165196http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-15.png?t=1275165196http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-14.png?t=1275165196
But, there is none of these guys. Since I haven't even seen there preevos yet, I doubt they're in this game.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-12.png?t=1275165196
Yet another flawless victory. Let's hope it will stay that way.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16-8.png?t=1275165196
Psychic. I think Sacrifice. will learn it by itself, so I think I'll give it to Snorlax.

Next: That normal gym south of Castro Valley. If the gym trainers are going to be too high, I'll change that plan and go for that one remaining water route first though.

Time for the next gym.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-59.png?t=1275222757
Everyone knows Mankey is Poison/Dragon.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-47.png?t=1275222757
Low 40s? I think I can do this.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-47.png?t=1275222757
Of course. How could you get there in GSC otherwise?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-44.png?t=1275222757
(Marill is not catchable in Rijon?)
No, and I totally haven't catched one yet.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-41.png?t=1275222757
Epic battle of the fatties.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-38.png?t=1275222757
Don't know what I answered here, but I did fight the trainer.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-35.png?t=1275222757
On the map it's on the south, so I guess it is.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-33.png?t=1275222757
I had to go through the whole Castro Forest yet another time for this battle....
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-33.png?t=1275222757
Raticate. Wasn't in the top percentage of Raticates.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-28.png?t=1275222757http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-25.png?t=1275222757
I think I'll better switch when he brings out the big guns...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-21.png?t=1275222757
Oh, it's just Pidgeot, that won't do anything.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-16.png?t=1275222757
Well, that's a different thing.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-15.png?t=1275222757
Stupid Dynamicpunch kept missing - when Gevatter didn't get parahaxed. Should have used Bonemerang instead...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-13.png?t=1275222757
So, it came again to an epic battle of the fatties. This time both even were at the same level. I still won.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16-9.png?t=1275222757
Hyper Beam.
I already have one of these, but whatever.... Maybe I'll teach it to Duplicate, it might actually become helpful in some situations.

Next: Castro Forest AGAIN. And then, that water route west of this gym.

Droppin out, sorry =P Maybee whne I feel like it

560cool. May 30th, 2010 7:42 AM

Oh, mondays suck, you're doing Brown ! :)
Sign me up for Brown, RaveSage. I'll update later tomorrow !

EDIT : Dammit, I deleted the ROM from my laptop ... oh crap, I'm gonna need to download ... X-(
*throughly searches Hacks Showcase*
Phew ! So there it is !
Problem solved ! ;)

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

UPDATE 1

Well, this update contains Seashore-Merson stuff : (note : I have no Pics since tinypic likes being annoying)

Spoiler:
Well, this game is odd. I had a route with two cut trees which led to Grass. I reached Gravel Town and this Tim moved like crap. Whatever. I chose Bulbasaur ....
and nicknamed him Seed Thing (seriously).
So I kept going to Merson Cave and what fo I find ...
THE INFAMOUS, SICK and HORRIFYING ...
Zubat.
Yes, out of Vulpix, Geodude, Clefairy... I got A ZUBAT ! ...
Which died against a Ratatta anyways.
er-hem. I got throught Merson Cave with Seed Thing which ran out of PP in any move. I reached Merson Town (Lavender Music, lol) and healed, released WHYYYYY (the Zubat) and saved.
PS : I also caught a Doduo on the Rt. outside Merson Cave. GREAT ! :)


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
TEAM :

Seed Thing (Bulbasaur) Lv. 13 : Tackle, Vine Whip, Growl, Leech Seed
It flies ? (Doduo) Lv. 5 : Peck

DEAD :

WHYYYY (Zubat)

BOXED :

none

========================================================

UPDATE 0

-> I lost. I went looking for Pokemon to beat Karpman and both Seed Thing and It flies ? died against a Spearow .

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCREW BROWN, I'M PLAYING ...

> POKEMON SILVER VERSION NUZLOCKE<

mondays suck May 30th, 2010 10:22 AM

Yeah, the beginning is pretty damn hard in Brown. I only survived because of severe Bulbasaur overgrinding and luck, like when I caught that Hitmonchan in Merson that would have killed me the next turn.
That Spearow... Was that also from that one patch of grass? That would explain why it was able to kill you...




Anyways, here's my newest update:
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-60.png?t=1275243231
Time to finally finish this one last route.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-48.png?t=1275243231
Some swimmers with level 40 Pokemon later...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-48.png?t=1275243231http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-45.png?t=1275243231
The last city.
Which is totally underrated.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-36.png?t=1275243231
Turned out that all that is here are 2 cave entrances and Safari Zone. Also, a Pokemon Center and a Market, but no normal houses. Weird city.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-34.png?t=1275243231
Took 3 Safari Balls. I was almost certain it would run, but for some reason, that didn't happen.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-34.png?t=1275243231
If you will ever become a Nidoking, that name will be the only appropriate name.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-29.png?t=1275243231
Surf is necessary here.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-26.png?t=1275243231http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-22.png?t=1275243231
Found these two houses, but didn't get any free stuff.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-17.png?t=1275243231
Dammit. Just a bit south of this, there was a ladder. And I was about to find out where it leads to.

Well, I guess I'll look into these caves first, and if I don't get Strength (please no spoilers, I can find it by myself) there, I'll explore Safari Zone some more.

Cave exploration. With interesting results.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-61.png?t=1275244511http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-49.png?t=1275244511
Looks like I need that item if I want to enter that cave. I can enter the other cave in this town, which is exactly the one where I caught Truth (RIP) at the beginning of the game.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-49.png?t=1275244511
To the west, I get to said area where I caught Truth, but to the south, there is this.
It's only some kind of tunnel though.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-46.png?t=1275244511http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-43.png?t=1275244511
Indeed, very confusing. Yes, that teleporter teleported me to those stairs.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-39.png?t=1275244511
Suddenly I was on a previously inaccessible hill in Hayward city. And, I remember that I do have some kind of Amulet on the PC.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-37.png?t=1275244511http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-35.png?t=1275244511http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-35.png?t=1275244511
Screw Dynamic Punch, it never works anyways.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-27.png?t=1275244511
This is pretty much exactly where I caught Truth. If i go further to the west, I get into another layer of cave, in which I find...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-23.png?t=1275244511
...Mewtwo?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-18.png?t=1275244511
Wild Pokemon are around 30 here, so I doubt that that thing has level 70. Should I try it?

By the way, I also did find Zapdos while grinding Gevatter in the Power Plant, but I didn't fight it as well yet. I guess I should do that first, since Mewtwo (or whatever that thing there is) is a lot more powerful than Zapdos.

It went like this : Spearow used Peck !
Seed Thing fainted.
Go ! It flies ? !
Spearow used Peck !
It flies ? died ...

1st Gold NUZLOCKE Update ! -Zephyr Deaths !-

Well, I begun my Gold nuzlocke with Cyndaquil (Fire Item). Got no Pokemon on both Rt. 29 and 30. Got the egg to Elm. Named my rival CRAPPP and myself Vaber (rng).
I caught a Ratatta on Route 29 (ROTTEN.RAT) and a HootHoot on Rt. 30 (NIGHTPIDGY). I also killed a Rattata on Rt. 46. In Dark Cave I got a Zubat (WHYYYY, to commemorate my Brown Zubat >.<) and a Gastly in Sprout Tower (ROUNDGHOST). Both WHYYYYYY and ROUNDGHOST sit quietly in in Box 1.
I took on Sprout Tower and ruined everyone. I grinded a little before fighting Falkner. NIGHTPIDGY died from Pidgeotto but ROTTEN.RAT owned with Quick Attack. I hatched the egg in Violet, named VIOLET EGG and deposited.
I also caught a Bellsprout on Rt. 31 (Skin Bro)
I saved. To do : continue storyline !

Mini-Update, but it contains surprise.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-62.png?t=1275246545
Decided to do it. There's no way Mewtwo can possibly beat Snorlax after some Amnesias. But, that doesn't sound very Mewtwo-ish...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-50.png?t=1275246545
Instead of Mewtwo, I found Suicune. Unexpected, but not bad.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-50.png?t=1275246545
Avenger was still my lead, I haven't switched since that Water Route.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-47.png?t=1275246545
LOLOHKO

Next: Zapdos. I feel like hunting things down now.

As promised:
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-63.png?t=1275246954http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-51.png?t=1275246954http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-51.png?t=1275246954
Thunder missed twice, and then 2HKOd. In that time, Zapdos got a crit Drill Peck, a Thundershock and a crit Thundershock in. I'm amazed by Avenger's bulk.

With no legends to fight left, I decide to check that cave in Eagulou that was previously blocked out instead.

Doesn't look to special at first sight.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-52.png?t=1275248036
Is this...victory road? But that can't be, the way to the Pokemon league was somewhere far more north, and I don't even have 8 badges yet...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-52.png?t=1275248036
I wonder if this changed anything in here...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-48.png?t=1275248036
Trainers are pretty tough. This one was not too hard, but the second guy had all 3 Johto starters and a Blissey.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-44.png?t=1275248036
Cave has another layer with...a gym guy in it...?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-40.png?t=1275248036
So, it IS a gym.
Also, these Put-a-boulder-on-things work like these things in the Celadon Rocket hideout. Don't ask me that they're called again.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-38.png?t=1275248036
A couple of trainers that got either OHKOd by Sea Zubat's Surf and Ice Beam or trolled to death with Wrap later, I meet this guy. I didn't quite understand what he talked about (but it was a lot), but I did understand that he is no normal trainer.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-36.png?t=1275248036
Some kind of miniboss probably.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-36.png?t=1275248036
Haha, looks like you picked the wrong Pokemon as your lead.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-31.png?t=1275248036
That Surf crit was unnecessary because I had already wrapped its health down.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-28.png?t=1275248036
Gliscors impressed me 4 gyms ago.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-24.png?t=1275248036
WrapWrapWrapWrap. And that Pallet Guard couldn't do anything about his probably most dangerous Pokemon dying.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-19.png?t=1275248036
Looks badass, but didn't do anything.
But, I think this guy might actually have caused some trouble in other situations.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-16.png?t=1275248036
So, it's time for...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-14.png?t=1275248036
...Giovanni. Let's see how much he can do against a Tentacruel.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16-10.png?t=1275248036
Nice start for me.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a17-6.png?t=1275248036
This was unexpected, but no problem. Sea Zubat outspeeded and OHKOd.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a18-6.png?t=1275248036
Wrap time. It missed once, so Kanga actually managed to hit Sea Zubat.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a19-5.png?t=1275248036
So you evolved that second Rhydon of yours? Well, I don't care.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a20-5.png?t=1275248036
Surprisingly many normal Pokemon for a Ground leader.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a21-4.png?t=1275248036
It took a hit (I should have wrapped it first instead), used Screech and died in the next turn. But, since was quite a bit ahead of my team in terms of levels, I think I'll have to grind.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a22-4.png?t=1275248036
>implying Fissure ever does something and is therefore worth to be obtained that late
...Can't I have TM26 instead...?

Next: Grinding. Since Victory Road is getting nearer, I anticipate a rival battle. And I'm not going to enter that underleveled.

Team after grinding and with some major moveset improvements. Victory Road should be no problem with this unless I have to fight 25 levels higher stuff again suddenly.

I was about to make this update about the way to Pokemon league happen a bit later to make things interesting, but I couldn't restrain myself from continuing.

That one gatehouse only led to a dead end route. There were some other houses on the way, but none of them was accessible.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-38.png?t=1275415880http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-33.png?t=1275415880
No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, in this game, Victory Road did in fact get replaced by an empty forest.
There goes all the Exp I would have gained in there otherwise...
So, to which level should I grind my team? Since the last gym leader's strongest Pokemon was level 60, I suppose, the weaker E4 will have level 65 Pokemon. Towards the end, thing go probably up to 75, a 10 level gap during the Elite 4 is a common thing. So, to which level should I grind? 70? Maybe even 75 since I don't know their teams and am on Set battle mode... But then again, too much overgrinding would be too tedious since there is not really any place with strong Pokemon.
I think I'll grind to level 70, get my revenge on that bastard with Mismagius, Ariados and Typhlosion, explore that cave some more than then grind to the level of my highest Pokemon. I'm not willing to read "The End" before I have avenged my old team.
But, until then it could take a while, because grinding on mid-30s Pokemon isn't exactly going fast.

I decided to put this on a hiatus, because the Elite 4 battles are going to deserve something better than just being edited into a post with far less interesting and important stuff in it. It just would take a part out of the epicness.

But don't worry, this is not a dropout, I'm just wanting to make things interesting...

...and I'm too lazy to do all that grinding right now


Itz Spadezz June 2nd, 2010 2:45 PM

Ill try this challenge not sure how i will do for my first time though.

Name: Itz_Spadezz
Game: Pokemon Yellow

Vroke June 3rd, 2010 5:26 AM

I decided to do this, so I pulled up my Crystal emulator (how I love those things) and began.

Chapter One: The Road to Violet City
Name: Crystal
Version: Crystal

Optional Rules Used:
No healing outside of battle

I started off in New Bark Town by picking the Pokemon of my favorite type, Water. After doing the Mr. Pokemon part of the game, I was leaving New Bark Town with:

:t158: Totodile, Lv. 9 - New Bark Town

Because I ran into a Pidgey on Route 29 and a Ledyba on Route 30, I couldn't catch anything until Route 31. Once there, I managed to get a Caterpie, and I got a Geodude from Dark Cave. Not bad. I entered Violet City with:

:t158: Totodile, Lv. 11 - New Bark Town
:t010: Caterpie, Lv. 4 - Route 31
:t074: Geodude, Lv. 3 - Dark Cave

Sprout Tower proved easy enough. I also managed to get a Rattata in there too, bringing my team up to 4. After Sprout Tower, I figured I'd level up Geodude to Lv. 11 so he could learn Rock Throw to make Faulkner even easier. Unfortunately, while training, a Bellsprout hit it with Vine Whip and it landed a critical hit. So much for Geodude. Instead, it was Metapod and Totodile that led the charge against Faulker.

As I was getting set to leave Violet City and head to Azalea town, my team looked like this:

Team:
:t158: Totodile, Lv. 14 - New Bark Town
:t011: Metapod, Lv. 9 - Route 31
:t019: Rattata, Lv. 4 - Sprout Tower

Box:
None

Dead:
:t074: Geodude, Lv. 8 - Dark Cave [Killed by Bellsprout]

And now I'm going to take a bit of a break. I'll continue it later today.

I'll join this using pokemon gold

Update:
Spoiler:
I started off by taking Chikorita as my starter to give this challenge a little more difficulty. Named the Chikorita Masozi Did all of the beginning things. Caught a Geodude in Route 46 and named it Kefilwe. Accidentally, killed a Zubat in Dark Cave as well as a Rattata in Sprout Tower. Masozi evolved in Sprout Tower. Kefilwe took down the entire first gym using just Rock Throw.
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2660/falkner.png
Killed a Bellsprout on Route 32, a Zubat in Union Cave and a Hoppip on Route 33. Finally caught a Zubat in Slowpoke Well and named it Xurxo. Grinded like crazy to get Xurxo almost caught up with the rest of my team, until I got very bored and decided to take on Bugsy. Much like the first gym, Kefilwe used Rock Throw the entire time and I was able to win my second badge. Caught Paras named Kwasi in Ilex Forest, but I plan on just using it as a Cut Slave. Killed a Rattata on Route 34. Then right after...
http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7272/whitneyf.png
I was actually very scared to challenge Whitney, but once again, Kefilwe didn’t let me down. He also evolved after this battle. The first Pokemon I saw on Route 35 was a Abra, but it ran away. Caught a Hoothoot in National Park and named it Odhiambo. Stored Odhiambo in the box for later. Xurxo evolved. Caught a Nidoran (Female) on Route 36 and named it Itumeleng. Wasted four Pokeballs on a Stantler on Route 37 before catching it, named it Babirye. Stored Itumeleng and Babirye in the box with Odhiambo. Kefilwe easily took down Morty using Maginitude and I was able to win my fourth badge.
http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/3285/morty.png
Killed a Rattata on Route 38. Taught Kefilwe Fire Punch and Strength. I realized that I needed someone to use surf so I got the good rod and started fishing, expecting something like a Krabby or Magikarp, but instead out comes a Corsola. A quick look through the pack revealed that I only had one Pokeball remaining so I threw it at the Corsola and luckily it was caught. Named it Nosizwe. For once I allowed someone other than Kefilwe to face a gym leader as Xurxo easily took down Chuck using Wing Attack.
http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8109/chucks.png
Taught Odhiambo Fly. Once again Kefilwe took down the entire gym by using Fire Punch.
http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2535/jasmineh.png
Taught Flash to Odhiambo. Killed a Geodude in Mt. Mortar. Caught a Mankey named Ama on Route 42. I decided to see if I could evolve Xurxo into a Crobat so I grinded like crazy until he finally evolved at level 43.
Current Team:

Chapter 2: The Road to Azalea Town

Upon leaving the gym, I got a calm from Prof Elm, so I went to get the Togepi egg, bringing my party total to four.

Team:
:t158: Totodile Lv 14 - New Bark Town
:t011: Metapod Lv 9 - Route 31
:t019: Rattata Lv 4 - Sprout Tower
:t175: Togepi Egg - Violet City

Box:
None

Dead:
:t074: Geodude Lv 9 - Dark Cave [Killed by Bellsprout]

First I headed south to Route 32, where I caught...
:t194: Wooper Lv 4 - Route 32

I kept Wooper in my team, and then headed back to Route 31 to train up. By the time I was ready to head to Azalea Town, Metapod had evolved into Butterfree.

Team:
:t158: Totodile Lv 14 - New Bark Town
:t012: Butterfree Lv 10 - Route 31
:t019: Rattata Lv 7 - Sprout Tower
:t194: Wooper Lv 6 - Route 32
:t175: Togepi Egg - Violet City

I battled my way through Route 32, and stopped by the Ruins of Alph while I was there, and I managed to get a..
:t201-k: Unown Lv 5 - Ruins of Alph

Unown became the first Pokemon to go into my box as a reserve pokemon. As I finished Route 32, I also managed to get the Poison Barb, as it's Friday - unfortunately, I have no Poison Pokemon to give it too. It can sit in my bag with Miracle Seed until one of them has a use.

I healed up at the Pokemon Center, then entered Union Cave, where I found and caught...
:t074: Geodude Lv 6 - Union Cave

I kept Geodude with me and fought through Union Cave, which was proving easy with Wooper at the front of my team - easily gaining Wooper level after level after level.

When I reached Route 33, I stopped by the grass, and found and caught...
:t041: Zubat Lv 6 - Route 33

Zubat was sent to my PC as my party was full.

When I reached Azalea town, I walked around until Togepi hatched. Then I did some reorganizing of my Pokemon to set me up for Slowpoke Well.

Team:
:t158: Totodile Lv 14 - New Bark Town
:t194: Wooper Lv 12 - Route 32
:t012: Butterfree Lv 12 - Route 31
:t019: Rattata Lv 10 - Sprout Tower
:t074: Geodude Lv 6 - Union Cave
:t041: Zubat Lv 6 - Route 33

Box:
:t201-k: Unown Lv 5 - Ruins of Alph
:t175: Togepi Lv 5 - Violet City

Dead:
:t074: Geodude Lv 9 - Dark Cave [Killed by Bellsprout]

And there I stopped, as it's 2:45 in the morning. Before I hit Slowpoke Well, I'm going to get my Geodude and Zubat leveled up to the rest of my team. So far I've been lucky with trainer fights and type advantages. It's resulted in me only losing one Pokemon. Hopefully it stays that way.....

Next Chapter:
Chapter 3: Azalea Town

Update No. 02 - Azalea Deletes

-My laptop deleted my file !

I might restart when I get my new laptop on Sunday. This one is really screwy !

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
______________________________________
POKEMON ->BROWN<- NUZLOCKE CHALLENGE

I am bored today (school's closed, yayy !!) and I wanna use my screwy laptop and push it to the limit. I'll hopefully get lucky this time !
-------------------------------------------------------------

BROWN ! TWO MASSIVE UPDATES IN ONE ! COME'N READ ! :P

CHAPTER 1 : Gravel Deaths

I started again, with Bulbasaur, this time named SEEDTHING! to have a little
difference.
Of course that in Merson Cave I got a ZUBAT (IT IS BAD) and I started the
grinding. I caught it a Lv. 3. In its early Lv. 4, it died. Nuisance ! :(
All I did was go beetween Gravel and Seashore to heal SEEDTHING! because of
the mass dmg. and PP Loss it got. I finlly got out on Rt. 54 and got no Pokemon in
the grass. Also fought no trainer. I accidentaly encountered a Lv. 17 Ekans in
THE patch of grass (...) which almost killed SEEDTHING!. As a kudos to you,
mondays suck, I named my Ekans I HATE YOU and decided to keep him. I got to the Pokemon Center and released IT IS BAD then went back to Rt. 54. I got a Pidgey, named FINALLY (somethig alright) and started grinding ....
.... ..... ............ !
I hate you Ratatta ! Two consecutive CRITICAL Tackles brought FINALLY down !
THIS WON'T PASS UNNOTICED !
.... I returned to the PC Box to release FINALLY.

I need some serious training before taking on Karpman.

-TEAM- :

Lv. 15 Bulbasaur (SEEDTHING!) : Tackle, Leech Seed, PoisonPowder, Vine Whip
Lv. 17 Ekans (I HATE YOU) : Wrap, Leer, Poison Sting, Bite
-BOXED- : none

-DEAD- (released) :
Zubat (IT IS BAD)
Pidgey (FINALLY)

While writing this I noticed all dead Pokemon are of the flying type !
_____________________________________________________________________

CHAPTER 1.5 : BOSS FIGHT !! Karpman, the water Gym Leader !!

I decided to make separate chapters for boss battles.
SEEDTHING! just evolved into an Ivysaur, making life easier. I was quite scared by the first Gym Trainer, a Squirtle and a Seel to a Gym Trainer ... but, whatever
...

[KARPMAN - WATER GYM LEADER]
| HORSEA Lv. 10
| VAPOREON Lv. 12

My team :

SEEDTHING! (Ivysaur) Lv. 19 Tackle, PoisonPowder, Leech Seed, Vine Whip
I HATE YOU (Ekans) Lv. 20 Wrap, Poison Sting, Bite, Leer

Strategy : Nothing, just three Vine Whips. The Gym Trainer was stronger.
Prize : TM 34 (Bide) One of he crappiest Pokemon moves. Will I ever use this ? No.

My team is listed above and no changes occured in my dead roster. So no team section needed !
_____________________________________________________________________

CHAPTER 2 : Hayward and the Underground

On Route 55 I found an Abra which broke free. Dammit. I really wanted that Pokemon. I've also found a cave which turned out to be... the place where mondays suck anihilated Suicune ? Anyways, I caught a Seel there, nicknamed PSN since I accidentaly poisoned him. Fortunately, he had enough HP left (I think that by the time I reached the Pokemon Center, he had ... 2 HP left ?) to heal him. I plan on making him an addition to my team. Hopefully, he won't die.

I also found out that the cave in which I caught PSN had a Surf barrier, which meant I couldn't pass ! ._.

I grinded PSN on Rt. 54 with bad luck (no, he didn't die) since he got hit by a TON of criticals. Damn, I still managed to get him up to Lv. 15 and teach him Octazooka, not Water Gun. Yay ! I'm gonna do Route 55 now, results here ... :

Apparently, I found a house similar to the Celadon Condoninmus, where I found a Porygon. Named ICANTUSEU since I can't, cause I already [KILLED] the Abra from this route. So I went and released him ... sad !
I also found an Underground path which led to Rt. 52 (Hayward Docks).
Fun Fact : On the other side of the path there was an old bastard which said that he lives there because he has no money. lol. rofl. roflmao. ._.

So, Rt. 52 was a water Route (I HAVE NO ROD) which had a bridge to go across it. I got into grass later, in which I find an ... ODDISH ! Cool, but I already have its types, so it belongs to the box. I also nicknamed him WEED.

I found a guy in a house offering a Magmar for an Abra. I already got a Pokemon here, plus my chance of catching an Abra has been lost. So, no. Prof. Tim's Aid is offering me a Super Rod for 70 Pokemon. Total madness for a Nuzlocke ...

I reached Hayward. There was a mini-lab with a guy reviving fossils and a Clefairy for Lapras trade. I DON'T HAVE A CLEFAIRY ! I also got a Town Map from a random girl. THANK YOU !! I am done with wall-maps for now !

And now, unexpected ...

BOSS FIGHT : MURA

He begun with a Koffing, which I solved with PSN. Sadly, PSN got removed by his ANNOYING Doduo which scored a critical hit (I wasn't paying attentin at which move). RIP PSN, and thanks. He continued with a Cubone, disposed by my I HATE YOU (subject to change nickname). And, at last, his unevolved Charmander, which burned I HATE YOU, but still died !

COMPLETED ! LOSSES : PSN !!
Comment : I'll get over that ! ;)

I went and released PSN, and I found a Rocket in Hayward ...
And got TM 28.

CHAPTER 3 : The Path to Owsauri ! Azalea, blocked way to JOHTO !

Managed to catch a Kakuna on Route 51 (North of Hayward). I named it DamnCocoon and deposited for backup. He wasted 3 POKEBALLS ! >.<

I HATE YOU evolved into Arbok against a Bug Catcher from the ... Nugget Squad ? Well, there is no bridge anymore, but whatever ...

I was close to deatch (SEEDTHING!) in the Nugget Squad when I got paralyzed and CONFUSED by a Zubat. I kept hitting myslef until SEEDTHING! remained with 1 HP and I decided to switch to my newly evolved I HATE YOU which took care of stuff. Yet another close thing ... I should avoid these .. :o

I went to Rt. 63 (west of Hayward) to go catch something. I caught a Spearow ! I decided to use it (Fearow can become a real badass) and I started the grinding !
I nicknamed it MassKiller !

I got him up to Lv. 20, when he evolved into Fearow. I decided to continue, since he's powerful enough. Some guy told me to go right ... my map indicates a city called Owsauri City sits there !

As a quick note, remember when I got Dig ? I taught it to I HATE YOU for defeating Fire-Types !

It seems that even more to the north we find Rt. 51... it means a new Pokemon ! Mine was ... another ODDISH ! I accidentaly killed him with MassKiller, cause I wanted to use Fury Attack, but I hurried and used Peck ! >.< I should most definetly be more patient...

... and Rt. 50 is also west ... it's easy ; I encountered ANOTHER Oddish ! I ALSO KILLED IT ! CRAP, what's wrong with me ? Anyways, there are many trainers here, which also means many Exp. hehe ... I found ... HM1 ? Lying on Rt. 50 ... whatever, I need a slave ... but not now, even though it opens up MANY paths !

A KOFFING POISONED MASSKILLER !! OH NOES !
But, I didn't even have any Potions, but I had a Repel left. So I ignored my spacebar and somehow managed to reach Hayward ! AND I HEALED !!
Thankgod. If MassKiller died, I would've gone mad ! >.<

On my way to Owsauri, I found yet another anormality : A Hiker with an EEVEE ! Yeah, imagine my face !

I've reached Owsauri ... it seems that it is a fork that leads to AZALEA ! Lol, I wonder what's it gonna happen ... It also seems like Owsauri has the Name Rater, so I went there and changed Arbok's (BTW Arbok read reverse says Kobra while Ekans read reverse says Snake) nickname to I LOVE YOU. Quite reverse, yeah ? :D I also discovered the Game Corner here ! God knows where the Coin Case is ... but it also seems the prize Pokemon are the Johto Starters ! ._. If I need backup, I'll search for the Coin Case !

I also found a Gym here, with an Ice Type Leader ... Hmm, I might challenge her later, but since two of my Pokemon are weak to Ice and the other one can't counter them, not now ...

On Rt. 49 I found a RATATTA ! It seems like I had luck up to now ... I just threw a clean Great Ball, as I was afraind to kill him ... I caught it, named it Rotten.Rat (RIP Pokemon Silver Ratatta).

It seems like I need a Bike to reach Azalea ... and the next Gym will allow me to use Cut ... this only means MAJOR grinding, I love my team and if they die ... I'll commit suicide ...

_________________________________________________________________

CHAPTER 3.5 : BOSS FIGHT !! Ice Type Gym Leader, LILY !! Decisive Blow !!

I decided that, at Lv. 24, it should be the time to challenge the type that I'm weak against.
....
I didn't have many troubles against Gym Trainers. A Razor Leaf solved them all (they used WATER type Pokemon which evolve into ICE types). But ...

[BOSS FIGHT : GYM LEADER LILY (Ice)]
| Lv. 18 Jynx
| Lv. 21 Lapras

Team :

Lv. 24 SEEDTHING (Ivysaur) Razor Leaf, PoisonPowder, Leech Seed, Vin Whip
Lv. 24 MassKiller (Fearow) Peck, Leer, Growl, Fury Attack
Lv. 24 I LOVE YOU (Arbok) Dig, Poison Sting, Bite, Leer

As you can see, my movepools are identical, just a minor grinding ...

STRATEGY : Well, I only used SEEDTHING! since he knew Razor Leaf. Just as I expected, this gym had the most powerful Ice Types of Gen I. Jynx was unexpected, she PowderSnowed me for minor damage. Lapras was defeated by two Crit. Razor Leafs. Lily wasted tht turn inbeetween for an X Defend (._.) but I defeated her !

BOSS BATTLE !! : COMPLETE !!
LOSSES : none !

Prizes : TM 13 (Ice Beam)
Comment : Hmm... I might use this one !

And so, a battle which I thought that would be a threat turned out to be easy ! It was me who deceived myself, this Leader only using a SINGLE ice type move the entire battle, the other turns being wasted on X Defends. Stupid AI !

Also, now I can use CUT ! I'm gonna get a slave from my box and make my way back to Hayward as I have two paths to explore and a few more Pokemon to get !

Ok, I got back from being completely lazy and not doing anything to some more grinding. Currently trying to get Raichu up to a decent level by only using Pay Day. It might be a pain, but it will pay out ... literally.
And no one is even level 60 yet, ugh...

Edit: I actually managed to get Raichu up while only using Pay Day. I grinded on derps, so it took quite long. I did gain over 70k money though, so it was worth it. Now I'm back at 100k, that should be enough.

But, the rest of the team is still all in level 58 and 59, so Im still having quite a bit of grinding to do.

Update: Currently 40 of the needed 72 level ups to get my entire team to level 70 have been achieved. But, this already took hours. The end of grinding is not in sight yet.

560cool. June 4th, 2010 6:59 AM

CHAPTER 4 : Cut opens up ! MORE TO EXLPLORE !

I found Weed ( Oddish) to be a respectable Cut Slave, so I'm using him.

Moveset-wise, I also found out I somehow got hold of TM 39 (Swift) I taught it to MassKiller for a good STAB normal type move. Plus, it never misses ! :D

I reached Hayward and went west. There was a patch of grass in which I didn't caatch a Pokemon yet. So I went there and found a Pidgey ! I threw a clean PokeBall (I'm out of Great ones ...) and it got caught on the third one ! Nicknamed Too Late ! since I got a Fearow already ! But backup is always good !

Sadly, this Rt. led to TM 23 and a Lass ... nothing else ! :(

So, we go East of Hayward !

Hmm .. I already caught a Pokemon here, but I found a trainer talking about the Silk Tunnel ... does this mean that we will be getting a new dungeon ? I hope yes !

I kept advancing, running in many trainers (Bug Catchers, Hikers, ...)

And, after checking my Map, it does seem that there is a tunnel blocking m way to Moraga Town. I hope we get a bike in there !

I entered Silk Tunnel, just to find a Koffing. I hope to catch it, so I weakened it with SEEDTHING! (since he can't get poisoned) and it turned out well. I named him ROUND PSN (RIP Silver Gastly) and I am going to deposit it in Moraga.

It seems like there is a big variety of Pokemon here : I also found a Grimer, Staryu, Psyduck, Geodude (no Zubat yet, hehe) ... and a Strength boulder too ._. .

I also found a Ponyta when I was leading with SEEDTHING! (there were Hikers around). Good that she only managed to Ember me once before me evading.

Arrghh ! Someone paralysed I LOVE YOU, getting me rid of all the Exp. since I was afraid ! DARN, I hope these get recovered !

Thank God, I found the exit. It also seems the Strength boulder is simply a quicker way to reach Moraga, which isn't a town but it's confusing.

I found HM Fly and taught it to MassKiller. I got lost and I am still searching for the Pokemon Center. Lol, it really is annoying ! After big searching, I found the Pokemon Center next to the gym. Finally, I can heal !

It seems like west of the town, there is another Route, Rt. 60. It means New Pokemon ! I found a Lv. 19 Paras. Quite unexpected, to be honest. I threw a Pokeball at full HP and caught it, named it ODD THING (I ran out of Ideas) and deposited it as backup !

I still don't know the Gym's type, no one told me. But I hope to stay clear, even though I am still too lazy to actually challenge it. Plus, it is made after Erika's Gym layout, with a cut tree, so I think it is actually the grass type !

On Rt. 60 (where I caught Paras) Prof. Tim's Aid is in a house. He will offer me an Exp. All (o_O) for 50 Pokemon. Once again, madness for a nuzlocke run ! :( Right in a binocular from that place, "A strange Pokemon is flying to Mt. Boulder *insert Articuno cry here*" . I might go and kill it later, though !

And, it seems like I just passed the shortest Route in history to reach Jaeru City. Here, it seems like we have the way to the Rijon League. Quite curious, to be honest.

I also talked to a girl who told me about Sparky, this town's Gym Leader. It seems like he uses electric types (for Pete's Sake, look at its name !). This is where I LOVE YOU comes in with Dig !

AND FINALLY, A BIKE SHOP !! It means I can acces Johto and with Fly on my MassKiller, it will be easy ! I just used my bike Voucher and received a Bike ! YAY !

Still the same ! Lovely !

Next : The two Gym Leaders ! And Johto ! And the Warehouse ! (I have so much stuff to take care of) !
__________________________________________________________________



UPDATE 5 : TWO BOSS FIGHTS !! FIERCE SOULS !!

I don't know how many of you have noticed but I am naming my updates the way the japanese name their anime episodes : without verbs. Since I am lazy !

Anyways, this is 5 and not 4.5 since instead of 1 boss battle, we will be getting 2, hopefully 3 (If I do Johto in this update). The warehouse won't be included !

So, I head to Moraga Town ...

And the first lass from the gym uses a Tangela. Yep, it is a Grass Gym. Go MassKiller ! :D It also seems they use early 20 Lv. Pokemon here. Since mine are almost 30, it won't be such a big deal ! (it also seems everyone in this gym hates boys ! DISCRIMINATION !)

[BOSS BATTLE : GYM LEADER LOIS (Grass)]
|
| Lv. 24 Weepinbell
| Lv. 23 Gloom
| Lv. 26 Ivysaur

It was an easy Gym, thanks to MassKiller !

Strategy : Peck, Peck, Peck ...
Prize : TM 21 (Giga Drain) I can also use Strength !
Comment : Just taught it to Ivysaur !

And so, with Lois beaten, we head back to Jaeru City to beat Sparky ... Just as I expected, he uses Electric types. Since I LOVE YOU knows Dig, it shall be easy !

This Gym is rid of the screwy puzzle, there are just few trainers which gave Exp. to the underleveled I LOVE YOU.

[BOSS BATTLE : GYM LEADER SPARKY (Electric)]
|
| Lv. 27 Raichu
| Lv. 2? Electabuzz
| Lv. 29 Jolteon

I forgot to take note of Electabuzz's Level !
Sparky was a mediumly hard Gym Leader : he used X Speeds while I was underground and hit first, thus missed me ! :P I easily beat him, only that he brought I LOVE YOU down to 10 HP with a ThunderShock ! o_O
Strategy : Dig, Dig, Dig, ...
Prize : TM 24 (Thunderbolt) I'll use it if I ever get an Electric ! I can also use Fly ! YAY !

This should be it for this Boss Update.
Next : Johto, Warehouse ! It is coming close !
___________________________________________________________________

-TEAM- :

Lv. 27 SEEDTHING! (Ivysaur) Razor Leaf, PoisonPowder, Leech Seed, Giga Drain
Lv. 29 MassKiller (Fearow) Peck, Swift, Mirror Move, Fly

Seel (PSN)

These two are the same !
___________________________________________________________________



CHAPTER 6 : Deaths in The Family !

Okay, so first in tis update I will do the Johto Part. Mostly out of curiosity. It seems we acces it through the cycling road west of Owsauri ! *flies there*

Okay, the Cycling Road (Rt. 49) has grass in which I got an Oddish ! I'm bored of this weed, so I just killed him ! It is also a weird uphill path, meaning I fall down if I don't press A or move up !

OH DAMN !! OH NO !! THESE GUYS HAVE Lv. 40s !!! NOOO !
MASSKILLER DIED !
I LOVE YOU DIED !
SEEDTHING DIED !
KET IS OUT OF USABLE POKEMON ... KET BLACKED OUT !

DAMN, NOOO !! *insert swearing here !*

THIS WILL BE AVENGED !! SCREW THAT BIKER, HE WILL DIE !!!
__________________________________________________________________



CHAPTER 7 : A New Dawn Awaits !! REBORN !!

Introducing :

Lv. 10 TOO LATE ! (Pidgey) Gust, Sand Attack, Fly
Lv. 19 Rotten.Rat (Ratatta) Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack
Lv. 16 ROUND PSN (Koffing) Tackle, Smog, Tunderbolt
Lv. 19 ODD THING (Paras) Scratch, Stun Spore

Thunderbolt because I need.
This is the reborn team, which will take down that biker. I won't beat the League until my old team doesn't get avenged. YOU HEAR ME ?

-DEAD- :

Zubat (IT IS BAD)
Pidgey (FINALLY)
Seel (PSN)
Ivysaur (SEEDTHING!)
Fearow (MassKiller)
Arbok (I LOVE YOU)

I won't be including the boxed roster.



CHAPTER 7.5 : WAREHOUSE SWEEP ! New Team Hits On !

With MAJOR grinding, TMs, DayCare and SpaceBar my team is at Lv. 25 range. I just went to Rt. 59 and accidentaly killed a Pidgey. ._.

Riight after killing that bird, my team is as follows. All hired assasins for a Biker (nicknames changed) :
Lv. 24 Destructo (Koffing) Tackle, Smog, Thunderbolt
Lv. 24 Quick Kill (Raticate) Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Hyper Fang
Lv. 24 Fly ! Kill (Pidgeotto) Gust, Whirlwhind, Quick Attack, Fly
Lv. 24 Slow Kill (Parasect) Scratch, Take Down, Leech Life, Body Slam

Incidentally, I flooded Slow Kill with TMs because it was useless. All the others have minor moveset changes. Nothing else new here, gonna beat Team Rocket at their warehouse !

I reached the warehouse. First thing I find is a Spinarak that I forget to catch and, thus, I kill it. It seems like there aren't that many rockets here; or at least I haven't found any so far.

Ah ! None in the basement, many upstairs ! The first one had 5 Lv. 21-23 Pokemon which quite took down my team... decided to grind ! *again*

Grind ... grind .... grind ... grind ...

MY TM OVERFLOOD ALMOST FAINTED !
Oh God, God ... I almost screamed Fuuu ... when I read A Critical Hit ! It seems like 1 HP remained and Slow Kill survived. ANOTHER ESCAPADE ! >.<

Back to the warehouse, stopped useless grinding. All Pokemon are over my level but I can handle them well ! Note : I also gave a beer to the guard but ... Botan has no Pokemon Center ? ._.

In the warehouse QuickKill was poisoned with full health ... I had enough time to evade and heal. THIS IS SO ANNOYING, I ALWAYS FAIL ...

I'm gonna grind again, this update isn't finished (yet). I'll update more tomorrow !

... HULLAZ HELL !! Spearows and Peck and Slow Kill make a horrible combination ! Good that Pidgey knows Gust (which apparently is Wind type, and Destructo is also Gas type) which is oddly uneffective gainst grass ! And, another weird thing about type matchups : Wind seems so be Super Effective on ... Gas. Which means that Destructo was blown away by ... wind ? Seems fair to me. Team after grinding :

Lv. 36 Fly ! Kill (Pidgeot) Wing Attack, Whirlwind, Fly, Quick Attack
Lv. 36 Extermino (Weezing) Tackle, Smog, Thunderbolt, Sludge
Lv. 36 Quick Kill (Raticate) Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Hyper Fang
Lv. 36 Slow Kill (Parasect) Spore, Take Down, Leech Life

Momma, holly grinding !
There was also this cave in botan which will be demolished because of the Magnet Train expansion. I went there and caught a Natu (GRAW !) nicknamed like that because it wasted two PokeBalls... yes, two. (I won't be using it anyways). The cave also seems a better grinding than Lv. 19-21 Spearows and Pidgeys so I'll take that game, thanks !

WAREHOUSE TIME !

I'm not even afraid since grinding time wore off. I sliced every Rocket in there. even Giovanni was easy.

This is the end of another update. Next update : weird Botan House leading to a forest. lolfail. rofl. roflmao.

___________________________________________________________________
-TEAM- :

Lv. 36 Fly ! Kill (Pidgeot) Wing Attack, Whirlwind, Fly, Quick Attack
Lv. 37 Extermino (Weezing) Tackle, Smog, Thunderbolt, Sludge
Lv. 36 Quick Kill (Raticate) Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Hyper Fang
Lv. 36 Slow Kill (Parasect) Spore, Take Down, Leech Life

Really the same. ._.

-BOXED- :

WEED (Oddish) Lv. 10 - Cut HM Slave
DamnCocoon (Kakuna) Lv. 8
GRAW ! (Natu) Lv. 20

...not the same... ;_;

-DEAD- :

Arbok (I LOVE YOU)

I HATE SEEING THIS LIST ! >.<

Chapter 3: Azalea Town

I began by training up Geodude and Zubat to levels that were closer to the rest of my team, but I got bored quickly and decided I would just go for it, and entered the well with:

Team:
:t158: Totodile Lv 14
:t012: Butterfree Lv 12
:t194: Wooper Lv 12
:t019: Rattata Lv 10
:t074: Geodude Lv 8
:t041: Zubat Lv 6

Slowpoke Well posed no problem for me, though there was one very close call with Geodude.

After Slowpoke Well, I wanted to go catch something in Ilex Forest, but I forgot about the battle with the Rival. So, I ended up in a fight with someone whose Pokemon were much stronger than mine. Fortunately, I managed to KO all of his without losing a single one of mine. After the fight, I gave up on Ilex Forest, and took on Azalea Gym with this team:

Team:
:t158: Totodile Lv 15
:t012: Butterfree Lv 14
:t194: Wooper Lv 12
:t019: Rattata Lv 10
:t041: Zubat Lv 9
:t074: Geodude Lv 8

The only thing that worried me about Bugsy was his Scyther. I decided to train up Geodude in the gym so it grew to level 11 to learn Rock Throw to easily dispatch Scyther (because of its Flying type). However, I forgot that Bug is ALSO weak to Rock. In short, I made very quick work of the entire gym and Bugsy thanks to Geodude.

I healed up afterwards, and got set to travel to the next destination - Goldenrod City. Here are my current Pokemon:

Team:
:t158: Totodile Lv 15 - New Bark Town
:t074: Geodude Lv 15 - Union Cave
:t012: Butterfree Lv 14 - Route 31
:t194: Wooper Lv 12 - Route 32
:t019: Rattata Lv 10 - Sprout Tower
:t041: Zubat Lv 10 - Route 33

Box:
:t201-k: Unown Lv 5 - Ruins of Alph
:t175: Togepi Lv 5 - Violet City

Dead:
:t074: Geodude Lv 9 - Dark Cave

Failed to Catch In: Route 29, 30
No Attempt In: Cherrygrove City, Azalea Town, Slowpoke Well


Next Chapter:
Chapter 4: The Road to Goldenrod

mondays suck June 4th, 2010 12:29 PM

After a crapload of grinding, the team is finally ready to take on the Elite 4. But first, I have another score to settle.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-61.png?t=1275681476
Yes, I know my graphical skills fail.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-61.png?t=1275681476
Prepare for your demise.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-56.png?t=1275681476
Avenge your fallen comrades, Duplicate. SHADOW BALL!
(By the way, did I mention Shadow Ball has the amination of throwing a Pokeball?)

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-52.png?t=1275681476
That just were 2 Psybeam crits in a row. What the hell?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-46.png?t=1275681476
I'll better switch, stupid crits...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-42.png?t=1275681476
Truth in his low 40s didn't have any problems with this thing, so what did you expect? The only thing that happened was a scary face.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-40.png?t=1275681476
That's the bastard that killed Sawr II, my broest Pokemon. He'll pay for it.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-40.png?t=1275681476
That's what I call justice.

So, now...
Spoiler:

...now, that my old team is finally avenged, it's time to face the greatest of challenges: the Elite 4. But first, I have to make some preperations.

So, I had 5 Rare Candies on my PC, so I spent one of them to each of my Pokemon. The one left out is Avenger, because I still could need some more money.

...finished. Earned me 20k money, so it was worth it. Now at 120k.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-74.png?t=1275682937
I then proceeded to sell almost all items I had in the bag or the PC that I considered as useless. Earned me quite a bit of extra money.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-62.png?t=1275682937http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-62.png?t=1275682937http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-57.png?t=1275682937
What I spent the money on. Oh, and for some reason I didn't quite sell that max Repel. Ah, whatever, I can do that later and maybe buy one more Full Heal if it's possible.

Team Time.

So, LET'S ROCK...tomorrow.

jujuju June 4th, 2010 6:38 PM

Elite 4 Update:
Spoiler:
Alright, now to defeat the rocktes in Mahogany. Accidentally killed a Koffing in the Rocket Hideout. After defeating all of the rockets within the Rocket Hideout, I decided to challenge Pryce.
http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7672/pryce.png

Meganium, who had just evolved in the Hideout, easily took down Pryce using just 3 Razor Leafs. Defeated rockets in Goldenrod. Caught a Lickitung named Mwanajuma on route 44 and a Swinub named Thulani in the Ice Path. Right after that, I challenged Claire.
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8456/claires.png

Claire was actually a lot easier than I expected. I let Xurxo take care of the first 3 Dragonairs with a little help from Masozi and then Masozi took down Kingra with just two Razor Leafs. I began to make my way to the Indigo Plateau by catching a Slowpoke in Tohjo Falls and naming it Sekai. I still needed a Pokemon for waterfall so I traveled back to Ecruteak and caught a Poliwag named Lubbert. Stepped out of Tohjo falls just to have the first trainer challenge me. I previously had Kefilwe out who took down the Bulbasaur and Ivysaur with one Earthquake each, but then this.
http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/3926/kefilwe.png

Unfortunately, out came the Venusaur which OHKO’d Kefilwe with one Razor Leaf (My first pokemon to die by the way). Xurxo easily took it down, but I can see that I still have some training to do before challenging the Elite 4. Caught a Dodrio named Faraji on Route 24. The first Pokemon I saw in Victory Road, of course, was a Golbat and because I didn’t want another Crobat, I killed it and decided to grind the rest of my team instead.
http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/8360/nidorina.pnghttp://img580.imageshack.us/img580/6199/nidoquen.pnghttp://img40.imageshack.us/img40/5962/crobato.pnghttp://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1975/pokemongolduc.pnghttp://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3643/meganium.pnghttp://img706.imageshack.us/img706/6335/dodrios.pnghttp://img153.imageshack.us/img153/8176/primeape.png

I actually began to grind Odhiambo before remembering that I had Faraji on my team. Now to take down the Elite 4.
Forgot to take a picture of Will.
http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/5928/koga2.png

With my newly trained team, the Elite 4 went down pretty easily and I was able to escape with no deaths to any of my Pokemon.

Chapter 3: The Road to Goldenrod City

I began by entering Ilex Forest. I came across, and caught, the first Pokemon I ran into, which was...

:t043: Oddish Lv 5 - Ilex Forest

Oddish was sent to my box, and I continued through the forest. I did the Farfetch'd stuff and got HM01 (Cut), which I taught to Totodile. I pushed on through the forest and found the ultimate prize - TM02 (Headbutt). I taught it to Geodude.

I went BACK to Azalea Town, where I went behind Kurt's home, and found some small trees. I headbutted one of them, and out popped...

:t190: Aipom Lv 10 - Azalea Town

It was difficult and close, but I caught - though now I'm low on Pokeballs. It too was sent to my PC. I left Azalea Town for the last time and made it through Ilex Forest.

Once on Route 34, I battled a few trainers, but nothing really exciting happened. To finish the chapter, I arrived at Goldenrod with these Pokemon:

Team:
:t158: Totodile Lv 16 - New Bark Town
:t074: Geodude Lv 15 - Union Cave
:t012: Butterfree Lv 14 - Route 31
:t019: Rattata Lv 13 - Sprout Tower
:t194: Wooper Lv 13 - Route 32
:t041: Zubat Lv 10 - Route 33

Box:
:t190: Aipom Lv 10 - Azalea Town
:t043: Oddish Lv 5 - Ilex Forest
:t175: Togepi Lv 5 - Violet City
:t201-k: Unown Lv 5 - Ruins of Alph

Dead:
:t074: Geodude Lv 9 - Dark Cave [Killed by Bellsprout]

Failed to Catch: Route 29 (Pidgey), Route 30 (Ledyba)
Skipped Areas: Cherrygrove City, Slowpoke Well, Route 34

Next Chapter:
Chapter 4: Goldenrod City


[NOTE: I hope that my many updates aren't too annoying >.<]

On Route 3 I found and caught a Spearow. Nicknamed it Spary and will drop it in the PC as a good reserve.

In Mt.Moon the first Pokemon I encountered was a Geodude. I caught it, named it Rock and put it in the PC. It and Spary will protect me as reserves.

Mt.Moon passed without incident, well Pikachu and Monkey both nearly died but they lived to fight another day.

In Cerulean City I got a Bulbasaur, nicknamed Bulb. Time for some Bulb grinding

Time to take on the Elite 4.


But first, let's take a look back.
Spoiler:

The gyms were:
- Water
- Ice
- Grass
- Electric
- Fighting
- Psychic
- Normal
- Ground
- (Bug)

Therefore, types left for the Elite 4 are (in no particular order):
- Fire
- Poison
- Rock
- Dragon
- Steel
- Dark
- Ghost
- Flying


Dark might cause severe problems to me, since the only Fighting move my team had (Triple Kick) was horrible, and since Pain died, I never had any Bug moves...
Ghost could be annoying as well.
I should be able to beat most of the rest though, Tenta alone handles most of the left types, and the rest falls to Snorlax or Xatu.



Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-75.png?t=1275746825
Let's do it.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-63.png?t=1275746825
This might be Dark. Not good, but better now than later. I decide to lead with Gevatter because Seismic Toss is so beasty.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-63.png?t=1275746825
That's a bit unexpected in such a darkened room, but I'm okay with this.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-58.png?t=1275746963
I thought Red was male...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-54.png?t=1275746963
Considering the huge level gap there is in each Elite 4, level 70 seems just right to have.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-76.png?t=1275747557
This happened twice. Meanwhile, Rapidash used Take down and Agility. Then, it proceeded to troll me with Fire Spin.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-64.png?t=1275747557

No way this can be Ghost, it has to be Dark or something.

I decide to just get out my allrounder.

3 down, 2 to go.

Kingdras are annoying, because they have practically no weaknesses, who uses Dragon moves outside of competetive battling? Ah, well, I beat it while only getting Leered.

Stop delaying the inevitable.

...and yet another Charizard. The easiest one so far, since I had the right Pokemon out.

VICTORY. FLAWLESS VICTORY.

Of course it is. Nuzlocke's law appied to everyone but you. And you were overleveled, even though I grinded hours and hours.

Lots of talking ensues...

240? That's...ummm... quite a lot...?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a36-1.png?t=1275750293
Yeah, sure...

Now, how many times did I say "dammit" followed by "Ah, whatever" in that text? And it wasn't even intentionally...

May I join? With Crystal, I suppose.

And might I say, Mondays, your post are literally the only ones I read. They are great. :D

Edit;
So, I chose my stuff, did the beginning stuff, chose Chikorita, and then got to Mr. Pokemon.
http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu340/328376/Nuzlock1.png
Then I made my way back to the town. I battle my rival, and won.
http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu340/328376/Nuzlock2.png
I helped the cops with the investigation, showed Elm the egg, and got some Pokeballs. Luckily, no Pokemon attacked me. But when I went up to the route above, a Spearow jumped at me.
http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu340/328376/Nuzlock3.png
Then, on the next route, a Sentret attacked.
http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu340/328376/Nuzlock4.png
But then he died.
http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu340/328376/Nuzlock5.png
Then I traveled up the Sprout Tower, and beat the top dude.
http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu340/328376/Nuzlock6.png
Then I beat Falkner on my first try. YES.

Congrats, mondays ! I hope you remain a Nuzlocke addict ! :)
Also, I think that no one actually track me because of my walls of text ...

CHAPTER 8 : Missing.No ! DEFEAT THIS !! Biker Revenge - It's ON !!

It seems like this place is based off Pokemon Tower. This means a Mura fight. Oh, and btw, it's called Haunted Forest but upstairs we have rocks ... >.<

[BOSS FIGHT : Rival MURA !!]
|
| Lv. 30 Koffing
| Lv. 29 Doduo
| Lv. 28 Gastly
| Lv. 28 Larvitar
| Lv. 33 Charmeleon

STARTEGY : I led with Quick Kill. I owned Koffing (HE POSIONED ME >.<) but I had to switch.
He continued with Doduo so I sent out Extermino. A Thunderbolt finished this off.
The Gastly was easy, I sent oout Fly ! Kill and defeated him with Fly. He confused me, but I defeated him.
He has a Larvitar, which I can't beat but I used Slow Kill for its awesome bulk. Body Slam, Body Slam, Body Slam...
Last was Charmeleon. I switched to Extermino because he had no DMG. made. Now really, Sludge owned my team last time, but this time it proved useful. Two Sludges brought him down and I won !

PRIZE : Ummm, nothing, probably cash ?

Like I said, poor Quick Kill got poisoned but I flought to Jaeru (BOTAN HAS NO POKEMON CENTER !!!! >.<) and healed.

Also, in the haunted forest we find a MissingNo named Ghost ... OMFGWTFROFL happened here ?? It means I can't catch whatever that thing was ... whatever ... And what do we find ... A Card Key ? It means I return to the Warehouse to find ... Dream Eater TM (Paras knows Spore ... BUT HE CAN'T LEARN IT !!!) and a TradeStone and Amulet ... wtf, I wanted a Silph Scope ...

Back to the forest (where there is some XP. from the channelers). Do you know what made me lol ? A Channeler said "Water Gun !", Water Gun being the move that Missing.No.s make themselves known !

OKAY !! OKAY !! I decide to half-end this update because of a great announcment : EXTERNIO DIED... because Haunters like spamming Hypnosis and Confuse Ray.
And I'm too nervous to keep playing ... okay. ... SLOW KILL DIED TOO !! DAMN HAUNTER YOU DESTROYED MEEE !!!!!

I'm gonna try to calm down (I almost let my laptop fall on the floor ...) and I'll continue later. And yes, I know I edited my post for this, what if I get a warning ... ?

Final Update:

Spoiler:
Kanto went by very quickly and after a little bit of grinding, my team was ready to challenge Red.
http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/8382/beforered.png
Let the battle begin
http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/8769/pikachux.png
His Pikachu went to down to just one of Itumeleng's Earthquakes
http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/9711/espeon.png
Espeon was up next so I sent out Faraji to try and take it down quickly
http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/3809/faraji.png
Unfortunately, Espeon held on with barely any Hp remaining and scored a critical Psychic on Faraji.
http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7637/venusaur.pnghttp://img689.imageshack.us/img689/7436/poliwrathm.png
Lubbert (who I evolved into Poliwrath), took down the Espeon as well as the next Venusaur with a Psychic
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8123/snorlaxy.png
Next up was Snorlax
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8813/amal.png
I sent out Ama hoping to Cross Chop it to death, but he was paralyzed by Body Slam on the first turn and then died on the second
http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/5597/crobata.pnghttp://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3897/blastoisem.png
Crobat avenged his death quickly and then took down the Blastoise that followed
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/5653/charizardg.png
Finally, he was down to just his Charizard
http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/7364/championl.png
Lubbert easily took him down and the battle was won.

Dead Pokemon:

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpicon/dpicon075.png Kefilwe Lv. 42- Venusaur
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpicon/dpicon085.png Faraji Lv. 80- Espeon
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpicon/dpicon057.png Ama Lv. 76- Snorlax

By the way, this challenge gave me a new found respect for Zubat etc. They are a huge pain to level up at the beginning, but they can be very useful later on.

560cool. June 6th, 2010 7:16 AM

I have to drop, but because it's game over. My remaining Pokemon (not many) got owned in the fighting-type gym. Now, now ...
I won't be doing this again soon ... way too painful .. :(
