^ I'd assume, and this is just an assumption, that you're allowed to cheat in team members in place of wild pokemon. (based on the fact that you're allowed to trade in your entire team in egg form from the start)
However, you'd probably have to go with the first stage of the pokemon's evolution (Swablu in your example) and they'd probably start at whatever level the wild pokemon in the area are. Once again, not sure if this is how the rules work, it's just my assumption.

Anyway, update!
_____________________________________________________

-Started the game, chose the female trainer (Not a fan of Lucas' sprite) named myself Tachi and my rival Gav
-Saw Rowan and Lucas at the lake, cheated Omanyte in place of Piplup (Similar typing, similar getting brutally beaten by Torterra)
-Recieved not so subtle threats of violence from Lucas, a pokedex from Professor Rowan, and a parcel from Gav's mom...
-Caught Bidoof and Starly HM slaves, did some grinding (Not fun when the only attack Omanyte has access to is Constrict and all wild pokemon love spamming growl)
-Headed to Jubilife City.
-Delivered the parcel, got a town map and TM10
-Got a piece of machinery designed by someone who can't count to three without help...yep, this'll be real useful.
-Headed east towards Oreburgh, beat Gav with Omanyte's new Hidden Power (according to my calculations [Super effective vs Turtwig, not very effective vs Shinx] it's a flying type with a decent power.)
-Avoided most trainer battles on the way to Oreburgh.
-Reached Oreburgh, was shown the gym by a youngster. Gav was already there.
-Headed into the mines, got Roark back to the gym
-Lost to him the first time I fought him...crit headbutt after a screech.
-After healing up, I headed back to the gym. This time, I had a plan...okay not really, I just had Omanyte spam water gun. She levelled up twice during the fight.
-Got the Coal Badge

Team:
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/4a/138.png
Omanyte Lv.15
Careful/Swift Swim
-Water Gun
-Bite
-Hidden Power (Flying)
-Withdraw

*Acquired* Omanyte
*Catching in-game* Cranidos, Pachirisu, Stunky
*Cheating in* Skarmory (Somewhere), Ledyba (Eterna Forest)

Awesome, I think I understand now. Thanks!

No real update yet but...

^ Have Grass, Dark, Steel, Poison, Bug, Fighting

Also, a quick question before I continue, I just caught two Pachirisus, one has incredible stats (or maybe one has comparatively terrible stats) but it has run away. The other one has pickup. So...any opinions on which one I should use?

Gee, thanks. That was actually pretty generous, those are good Pokemon. Also, since you need a Pachirisu, I'd take the one with the better stats. You'll probably need it.
So my team:

I'll begin today and post my updates later.
By the way, one more question; Since I have to cheat in to get Empoleon, do I cheat in a Piplup to raise it?

Rainbow-Sasuke October 21st, 2010 7:26 AM

I look on Serebii and found out I can find 5 of the 6 Pokémonon my team, but can I cheat for Spheal, Lapras and Rhyhorn? They can't be caunght untl latrer in the game!

I don't run the thread but I'd imagine you'd have to hack in a Piplup and raise it to Empoleon, don't just hack in an Empoleon...

Alright. Not TOO big of a problem. But again, how do I obtain my Pokes?

Also:
1. Starmie
2. Gyarados
3. Rhydon
4. Charizard
5. Wait a second. Only 4 Dragon pokemon were made up to Gen 2. So, I can't pick my 5th favorite. Can I get a new type just here?
6. Ninetales

Grass. Enjoy! Pretty cool team otherwise.

EDIT: You get your Pokemon however you can. If you can trade them, then trade them as early as possible (preferably as eggs). If you can hack them in, then do so, although the OP may have reservations about how many you can hack in at the beginning. If you can't hack or trade, then you'll just have to catch them normally, which will mean going without a few of them until you can get hold of them.

So I get a Sunflora. Yay!
Thanks about the Pokemon getting thing. I'll hack in the three that are hardest to get in crystal and catch the others.

Good, that mean that I will have to transfer an egg of each to my Soul silver :P
I will evolve Eeevee into Leafeon before trading him.
That will be an awesome challenge to do :)

Ok....here's hoping somebody replies tonight before I go offline....

User: Sydian Amore.
Player: --- (I'll decide a name for him later) Amore / Heart.
Game: SoulSilver HeartGold.


Also, I'd like to do something slightly different:

- I'm only going to use Pokemon out of the new Johto Pokedex. That means, for dragon, I'll simply use the Dragonite family and Kingdra, and number it so that No. 1 and 5, and No. 2 and 6 are the same pokemon (obviously, I'm not telling you which order I put them in). Is that ok?

EDIT: I'll also use their evolutions, i.e. Electivire, Togekiss, Magmortar, Rhyperior...just not until I have the National Pokedex

Uhh...I've checked...and I can't actually get any of those pokemon or their unevolved forms to use! Could you pick different types, please?

Actually, I'm retiring from this challenge...going to do a different one.Sorry.

I assume non-competitors are allowed to do this, so I'll pick your types:

Grass (sorry, on Hg I couldn't resist), Poison, Normal, Flying, Fighting, Dragon.

I hope that's balanced without making it too easy.

seal October 26th, 2010 11:37 AM

My Charmander egg finally hatched today. I went right the way up to Violet City whereI'll defeat Falkner a bit later.

Ivysaur

Nidoking

Croagunk

Togekiss

Porygon2

Shelgon
