1 Pokemon 1 Gym Challenge
Welcome to the 1 Pokemon 1 Gym Challenge!
(Sorry for the lack of a better name) This is a rather neat challenge I just came up with the other day. Rules: 1. Start with your starter. 2. Use that starter until you beat the first Gym Leader. 3. After the 1st gym, immediately catch another pokemon from anywhere you want (It has to be the very first one you see), but do not fight any trainers. 4. Right after catching another pokemon, release your starter. Use only the pokemon you caught until the 2nd Gym. 5. After the 2nd gym, catch another pokemon. (no trainer fights) Release your last pokemon. 6. Repeat. (Yes, you have to release and catch another pokemon after the 8th gym.) Also, be reasonable. If youre using Red, dont fight Brock, then Sabrina, then Erika, etc. Fight a Gym as soon as you can. 7. you can have only 2 HM Slaves. don't use these in battle AT ALL. not even for Revive sacrifice. So box it when fighting the gym. 8. to be lenient, i will let you use 2 revive sacrifices in the E4 only. or don't, for a challenge. Example: In Red, you get a Bulbasaur, train it, beat brock, catch a Weedle back in Viridian Forest as the first pokemon you see. You have to release Bulbasaur, use only Weedle/Beedrill, go through mt. moon, beat misty, then catch an oddish near nugget bridge (should defeat nugget bridge BEFORE the 2nd gym), and release Beedrill. and so on. It gets hard after the 8th gym, but at least you can basically catch pokemon from anywhere. Optional rules to make it more challenging: 1. Faint = Game Over. 2. No Pokemon Center. 3. No evolutions. Add more if you want. Challengers: dragon0fangz (FireRed) tkallab (Red) Lord_Storm (FireRed) Domin-8 (Gold) allx123- (FireRed) ChaoZZ BuBBleZ (Ruby) diamondmutt1111 (Silver) dragonomega (HeartGold) ChaoticArchon (Gold) Angry Ampharos (LeafGreen) Iced (Red) mondays suck (Yellow) BlueShellBeast (Crystal) USD (Diamond) .Kaiser (Crystal) Hazelfraz (Emerald386) Champions: Porygon Z (Blue) dragon0fangz's challenge: Started challenge on FireRed, named myself ' and rival ' (inverted apostrophe.) Got a Squirtle. Called it Bowling! as an obscure reference to Pokemon Snap. (Remember? In the Valley?) I lost to '. darn crithax. Trained for a bit, owned Brock. Bowling! vs. Brock complete! http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/dragon0fangz/Bowling.png Went back to Viridian forest and caught a lv 4 Caterpie named Flutterby. Released Bowling! Grindin time, whoo! Grinding a Caterpie is hard, but once I get to lv 7, i can spam Harden and Potions. Did so, and killed a bug trainer on Route 3. Gained 2.75 levels in the process, i got the remaining .25 from wild pokemon, and butterfree killed everything with confusion. Stun spore and sleep powder just makes it easier. Was lv 20 when emerged from Mt. Moon. Decided to kill my rival. Had a hard time with Misty, but got lucky due to parafusion. Flutterby vs Misty completed! http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/dragon0fangz/Flutterby.png Walked in route 4 with a 65% chance of catching any pokemon other than Spearow. guess what I got? yup. Spearow. called it Birdbird and desperately hoped this thing had at least a chance against Lt. Surge. |

Count me in! Sounds like fun. I'll be doing Red because of the emulator speed, heheh. *Uploaded my log. So frustrating, hahaha! *Edited the name, haha.

I'm taking this challenge, playing my Blue version.
I'm already with two Gym badges, you know, I thought I posted here but I didn't, so... Got a Bulbasaur, named Pulp, passed through Route 1, 2 and Viridian Forest. Grinded A LOT before Brock, because there is only one trainer to defeat forcely, the last Bug Catcher in Viridian Forest. Anyway, my Bulbasaur evolved in battle vs Brock. For now, I stored it (level 17, I don't want to release them), then catched and grinded to level 12 a Pidgey, called El Pid. Passed through Route 3 and Mt. Moon, El Pid evolved. Defeated Gary, Nugget Bridge, two or three trainers, met Bill, and finally got the Cascade Badge. Then I stored El Pid (level 23) and catched in Route 24 a Rattata (the 3rd Pokèmon I saw), a Caterpie and a Weedle (for now stored, I'll use them for 4th and 5th Badge). Grinded RatMan to level 22 (very, very hard), and passed through Route 6. Defeated Gary in S.S. Aqua and got HM01 Cut, for now taught to Ivysaur. Now I'm going to crush Lt. Surge! PS: Can I use stored Pokèmon as HM Slaves? 'Cause I need Ivysaur for Cut and Pidgeotto for Fly.

I'll do this on GOLD. Seems fun

Update.
Now, I'm grinding Raichu for the 6th Gym ('cause Pikachu was the 6th Pokèmon I saw), so I beated Lt. Surge with Raticate, Erika with Beedrill, and Koga with Butterfree. All of them were very easy to defeat... Next, I'm going to catch Geodude, Onix, and the consequent five Pokèmon for Pokèmon League.

Thanks for joining up guys!
I've added all of you to the list. Hope more people will join! EDIT: I forgot about HM Slaves, haha. Updated rules. I trained my Birdbird. At SS Anne. It was lv 32. I expected a very hard battle. It wasnt. Voltorb went down after a 2 hit Fury Attack. Pikachu, 2 hits. Raichu took 4 hits, used Double Team, then Super Potion. Fearow used Fury Attack, the first hit was critical, the second finished it off. WHOOOOOO. Birdbird vs Lt. Surge COMPLETE! http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/dragon0fangz/Birdbird.png WHOOOO. caught an Ekans at Route 11, called it Agnry Faic. |
I am going to do this challenge, I am starting with Pokemon FireRed and will update tonight or tomorrow.
I started with Bulbasaur and named it Brock, as the gym leader he has to face, and got owned by Noobfal, my rival (damn bulbasaur and critical hitting charmander), and set off to grab a parcel. On Route 22, I grinded Brock up to level 12 and owned Noobfal by spamming Leech Seed and Tackle. I continued on into evil forest hoping for an easy ride. I left Viridian Forest with a level 16 Brock, ready to face the gym. I defeated the gym with 4 Vine Whip's, and 4 OHKO's. http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af321/Lord_Storm/1%20gym%201%20pokemon/1gym1pkmn001.pnghttp://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af321/Lord_Storm/1%20gym%201%20pokemon/1gym1pkmn002.pnghttp://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af321/Lord_Storm/1%20gym%201%20pokemon/1gym1pkmn003.png |

Dude, this sounds awesome! Count me in for Gold.
|
I'll start a run on SoulSilver. Can I just ask though - what happens when we beat the Elite Four for the first time and then get to Kanto? The wild Pokemon in Kanto are all around level 10, and the gyms are all level 50+... does that mean the challenge ends after the first E4 run?
EDIT: I started anyway. Update 1: Spoiler:
EDIT: Update 2: Spoiler:
Team: Bugsy (Ekans) - Lv.15 Flash (Bellsprout) - slave Box: Mystery Egg Falkner (Totodile) - Lv.16 |
sorry for lack of updates, I have been busy. Sammuthegreat, Im not sure... Probably, yeah. Or you could just use Johto's pokemon, by flying. Be creative!

I'm going to do this challenge using pokemon silver.
Edit: Nvm, i got terrible luck and got very fed up with this challenge. First, I got to Morty very easily using a Cyndaquil, Raticate and Beedrill, but the next pokemon I got was a Ditto. it was literally impossible to beat Morty. I had to grind Ditto up to level 70 just to beat the first trainer in his gym. I was only able to beat Morty when it was at level 100 when I thought of an idea to use all of Ditto's transfroms outside of battle to use struggle against Morty and it worked. I then got a magnemite, tentacruel and tauros to defeat the next three gyms. Unfortunately, while looking for a decent ice pokemon to defeat clair, I got a Piloswine. Going through the rockets in Mahogany with that thing was death. As soon as I thought my luck would change after a relatively easy win over Clair, i got a Geodude. Normally, I do not mind the Geodude family, but this challenge really made me realize how bad they are against the elite 4. First it took me about 15 tries to beat my rival when my graveler was at level 63. Then after losing for about the 10th time to the Elite 4, I finally gave up. So yeah. Good challenge though. I enjoyed using the pokemon that I got even though they made me want to tear my brain out. |
Sheesh, forgot about this some days ago. If I'm not mistaken, I was grinding my Jolteon, but he kinda sucks. Maybe I'll continue today.
|
hmm sounds like this could be more interesting using the random pokemon generator, filtered with no legendaries obv, then hacking that pokemon into grass at same lvls before gym if you are bored with the normal encounter pokemon.
|
Alright, I think I'll try this out. I'll play Leafgreen just because it's here on my desktop.

I'm gonna join using Pokemon Red.
Began my adventure with a SQUIRTLE. SQUIRTLE learned Bubble. Defeated Brock with my level 15 SQUIRTLE. Received TM34 Bide. Bought ten Poke Balls. Caught a PIDGEY and put my SQUIRTLE in the PC. Used TM34 to teach PIDGEY Bide. PIDGEY learned Sand-Attack. PIDGEY learned Quick Attack. PIDGEY evolved into PIDGEOTTO. Used an HP Up on my PIDGEOTTO. Used a Rare Candy on my PIDGEOTTO. PIDGEOTTO learned Whirlwind, in place of Sand-Attack. (They are both useless to me anyways.) Got a Helix Fossil. Defeated Misty with my level 25 PIDGEOTTO. (Bide actually came in handy to kill Starmie.) Received TM11 Bubblebeam. Caught an ODDISH and put my PIDGEOTTO in the PC. ODDISH learned Poisonpowder. ODDISH learned Stun Spore. ODDISH learned Sleep Powder. ODDISH evolved into GLOOM. GLOOM learned Acid. Defeated Lt. Surge with my level 31 GLOOM. Received TM24 Thunderbolt. Caught a SPEAROW and put my GLOOM in the PC. |
Playing this in Yellow. No extra rules, I think it's going to be hard enough without.
First Update Spoiler:
|
I'm going to do this in Crystal. I'll make my first update in a bit...
Update #1 I just lost everything that I typed before, so I won't describe as much as I did the first time. Sorry... I started with naming myself BlueSB, and then I choose a totodile and named it Alfons. I then trained him a bit and then went to Professor Pokemon and Oak. After that, I beat my rival and named him Err... Then I went to Violet City and beat Falkner on my first try. http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv161/BlueShellBeast/1PerGym-Falkner.png After this, I went south and caught the first pokemon I saw, which was a Rattata at level 5. I named him Finny and then put Alfons in the PC. He is now going to be my HM slave. After this, I went down to Azalea town and kicked TR out of Slowpoke Well. I then healed myself and beat Bugsy on my first try. http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv161/BlueShellBeast/1PerGym-Bugsy.png After this, I once again caught the next pokemon I saw. This time it was a Zubat at level 5. I named it Undertaker and trained it up about 13 levels (I released Finny). I then beat my Rival and picked up Alfons from the PC. After I got Cut, I taught him it and made it to Goldenrod. (There was one close call battle on the way there, but I made it out alive.) I then healed myself and went to battle the trainers north of Goldenrod. After this, I battled Whitney. I lost the first time, but won the second. http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv161/BlueShellBeast/1PerGym-Whitney.png I haven't caught my next pokemon yet, but I sure hope that I don't run into a Ditto. Pokemon Used: Gym 1- Falkner: http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv161/BlueShellBeast/CrystalAlfons1GymChallenge1.png http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv161/BlueShellBeast/CrystalAlfons1GymChallenge2.png Now a HM slave that knows Cut.
