mondays suck June 6th, 2010 6:14 AM

Elite 4 time!
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-83.png?t=1275833179
Yeah, I accumulated quite a lot of money up to this point.
After applying the Rare Candies, Stantler was at level 85, this should suffice by far.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-71.png?t=1275833179
Let's do it.

Lorelei:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-71.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-65.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-60.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-54.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-50.png?t=1275833179
That Lapras was a major pain with Confuse Ray. The rest was easy though, not even Slowbro could take a T-Bolt.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-48.png?t=1275833179
Obligatory.

Bruno:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-47.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-40.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-35.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-31.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-26.png?t=1275833179
Machamp did actually survive a hit, but all it did was Scary Face, about which I didn't care.

Agatha:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-22.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-18.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16-16.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a17-11.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a18-11.png?t=1275833179
Easiest one so far.

Lance:
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a19-10.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a20-9.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a21-8.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a22-8.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a23-7.png?t=1275833179
Gyara's Intimidate made 'Nite annoying. But just annoying, not dangerous.

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a24-6.png?t=1275833179http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a25-5.png?t=1275833179
Some last preparations...


Champion battle is up. And it was epic, the most epic champion battle I ever fought.
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-84.png?t=1275834729
Whether I was needing that crit or not, it was nice. Better than getting Sand-Attacked or Featherdanced.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-72.png?t=1275834729
No problem at all.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-72.png?t=1275834729
Survived, damn. Well, 2 Full Restores later it died anyways.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-66.png?t=1275834729
As seen here.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-61.png?t=1275834729
Come on, that's like 1 HP left.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a6-55.png?t=1275834729
Against Bruno, this didn't bother me, but this time it was frightening.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a7-51.png?t=1275834729
But, at least Rhydon died without doing any further damage.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-49.png?t=1275834729
I hate being slow.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-48.png?t=1275834729
Should have brought some X-Speed or something... Or better: X-Attack...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-41.png?t=1275834729
This is it. The final battle that will decide everything. There can be only one, and will it be Stantler or Charizard?
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a11-36.png?t=1275834729
Nice start for me, but knowing that it can both outspeed me and use Fire Blast is unpleasant.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a12-32.png?t=1275834729http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a13-27.png?t=1275834729
Not unexpected at all. The next 2 rounds both went like this.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a14-23.png?t=1275834729
Oh shi-...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a15-19.png?t=1275834729
Seriously, I was expecting ANYTHING, but not this. Not surviving with 1 HP.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a16-17.png?t=1275834729
This was seriously the closest thing ever, especially when considering Nuzlocke's rule would have applied to Stantler and I would have lost this entire challenge otherwise.



http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a18-12.png?t=1275834729
...Bulbasaur? Does Oak suffer from Alzheimer's disease?

The obligatory Hall of Fame screenshot

Seriously, something is wrong with Oak...

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a22-9.png?t=1275834729http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a23-8.png?t=1275834729http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a24-7.png?t=1275834729
Oh well, since the 2nd Elite 4 isn't necessary (and I would probably lose anyways), here's my final Stantler.

On to Johto. I'm not sure yet if I'll go with Gold as planned or try Heart Gold, we shall see later.


myrrhman June 6th, 2010 7:37 AM

yeah, shadow, you can go on if you want, but you don't have to if you don't want.

Also congrats to mondays suck for finishing round one of the challenge!

mondays suck June 6th, 2010 8:38 AM

So, I did some research and found out the Rom crashing problem is still present in HGSS, so Gold it is.

So very fitting for a female Pokemon, that name is.

I think I'm going to die...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a8-50.png?t=1275841761
...or not. That 2 HP were lost in a wild Pokemon battle before this by the way.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a9-49.png?t=1275841761
Hell no, I don't want my money spent on dolls.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a10-42.png?t=1275841761
Close call. After a missed Tackle (that would have finished Pidgeotto off) and the subsequent Gust, Stantler only had 2 HP left. But, the next Tackle hit so I won.

Nothing really special up to this point.

Seriously, something is wrong with Oak...

Oh You Make Me Lol. Well he Is getting Old, he has been around for like 20 years without aging so somethings going wrong. Actually he looks like he is getting younger.

xshadowblitzx June 7th, 2010 1:11 AM

I picked out my starter of Nidoran♂ which replaced Bulbasaur. So my rival has a Charmander. Beat the first rival easy but didn't record that as well thats not necessary to win.

Waltzed and did the whole Pokédex stuff and then went to face Gary before the Pokémon league

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bHnxl-CxOg

Only trouble with gary would have been his Sand-attack but bar that he was easy.

Travelled to Viridian Forest and made it through there with ease and then i had a brain fart. I forgot that you don't learn double kick early on red, thats only on yellow.

Still managed to beat brock fine though

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK8aEGful_o

I'll update when i've done misty and 2nd Gary.

Akeraz June 7th, 2010 3:26 AM

I'm bored so I guess I'll do this.
My games will be as Follows
FR, C, E, Pt

I'll be starting on Crystal, Using Hoppip (I feel like a change of pace since I've been playing alot of FR lately)

I'll be adding the following rules to my challenge:
- No Evolutions
- No Revives

My updates will probably be in the form of youtube videos, I hope you don't mind.

xshadowblitzx June 7th, 2010 3:33 AM

heh personally i find that youtube videos are better at keeping track as this way you can watch the battle yourself. Thats why i also opted for youtube videos over screenshots.

myrrhman June 7th, 2010 4:54 AM

mondays, how the F*** did you beat youngster Joey's Ratatta? Did you hear that its in the top percentage of all Ratattas? You know what I'm saying? You're like a god among men.

The Doctor June 7th, 2010 7:15 AM

Updates :D -


- Went Through Ice Path And Got To Blackthorn
- Then Flew back to Goldenrod
- Whupped The Team Rockets
- Got Lost In Underground

Posideon Level 50!

Akeraz June 7th, 2010 8:59 AM

First Update - Vs Falkner.
Spoiler:

Easy enough. I think I was a bit too worried about crits from Pidgeotto, though.

The Doctor June 7th, 2010 9:21 AM

Akeraz June 7th, 2010 9:29 AM

I'm used to using [flash][/flash] tags on forums I normally visit. Thanks for informing me.

Kozoi June 7th, 2010 9:55 AM

I'm joining this Solo Challenge with Dratini. I'll be doing Fire Red, Crystal, Emerald and Platinum. (In that order.)

The Doctor June 7th, 2010 10:20 AM

Lol

Goooood Luck My Friend.

You will get irritated fast.

I done a Dratini run for a while but I gave up because Wrap is a crap move and it takes forEVER to kill.

Gooooood Luck.

Alexlang22 June 7th, 2010 11:16 AM

I am going to join this challenge, I will do the same as Akeraz and Kozoi using Remoraid. I will also keep updated with youtube videos. I'll do crystal first, then Fire Red, then Emerald and finally Platinum.

Here is my first video (should be better quality next time):

>implying it's not like my Stantler is in the top percentage of Stantler

Well yeah, that was my strategy: Fight fire with fire. The only way to beat top percentage Pokemon is using top percentage Pokemon as well. Better top percentage Pokemon. An idea only a god among men could come up with.

By the way, because I'm lazy as hell (and had sports in the afternoon) today, there will be no update until tomorrow. I know, I'm a terrible person http://209.85.122.87/5908/85/0/e5011287//e5011287.png

xshadowblitzx June 7th, 2010 12:54 PM

I got through Mt Moon with great ease and got my Nidoking

Gary II
Spoiler:


Did all nugget bridge and moved onto misty

Spoiler:


I'm going to refrain from using Thrash since that just destroys everything.

Alexlang22 June 7th, 2010 1:44 PM

Next update already, here we go:

Spoiler:

Dinner made Falkner look easy, however Dinner didn't have it as easy at Bellsprout tower, he got raped by vine whips, but after a little bit of grinding he scraped through.

Koldsned June 7th, 2010 2:20 PM

Hey, I'm probably going to attempt this. I saw this through Shadowblitz's Youtube channel and thought why not, so signed up and here I am! I'm going to use Bulbasaur and play Fire Red, Gold, Emerald and then Platinum all being well. First update should be around tomorrow sometime.

Good luck to everyone else!

myrrhman June 7th, 2010 5:59 PM

All right, everyone is updated. Thanks to everyone new participating (and shadowblitz for bringing in a newcomer from youtube)

Koldsned June 8th, 2010 3:38 AM

So got quite far here is the video update!

Spoiler:




So far so good. The first Gary battle wasn't too bad but I thought Pidgey knew Gust so I was careful but he didn't use it. Charmander was easy as he didn't know ember... yet. Brock was pathetic but got me evolved. The second Gary battle was tough. Pidgeotto was ok but lowered my accuracy causing problems later. Charmander is deadly now. I managed to poison and seed him and then just heal. I barely made it but Abra and Rattata fell easy. Phew.

There are only a few problems I can see with Fire Red at the moment. Gary battles will be tough as he has a few pokemon that can do 2x damage against me. There is Charmander, Abra, Exeggcute AND Pidgey. Oh well. There is also Blaine and Sabrina but I'll deal with them when I get there.

Akeraz June 8th, 2010 4:20 AM

Update time!

Vs. Bugsy
Spoiler:

People told me fury cutter would be a pain in the ass here.
However, you'll see I have a solution right here.

Vs. Silver (2)
Spoiler:

This was a much more worrying battle. One of his Pokes I couldn't even hit and had to sleepseed it to beat, and another had super effective on me.
As you can see though, I managed to scrape through quite well.

Ashguard June 8th, 2010 6:38 AM

Since I have a tendency for doing insane challenges for fun and stuff I figure, hey, why not? I could do something "fun" like Sunkern but, nah, probably a wee bit too difficult so I'll throw my hat into the ring with the Marill family (Azurill, Marill, Azumarill) since whilst not quite as difficult it should still be balls hard and I'm all about that.

Much like my good buddy, xShadowBlitzx, I'll be recording the important details but I'll also probably record me whining incessently via Audacity if I get the time/think it's warranted for that video (in some cases I'm sure it will be...). I'll also try to avoid grinding, if ever possible, since where's the challenge when you just walk over everything. I'll try to post every day, every other day at the latest, but if I don't then it's likely because I'm at a wall and thus need to grind like crazy.

Tl;dr: doing Marill stuff. Fire Red -> Gold -> Sapphire -> Diamond
