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.

Playing this in Yellow. No extra rules, I think it's going to be hard enough without.

First Update
Spoiler:

So I started and...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a1-194.png?t=1286569324
Well, that was easier than expected. Took a ton of PP to avoid Bide though.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a2-159.png?t=1286569324
So, it's time to say bye to a derp rat and...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a3-147.png?t=1286569324
...acquire another one.
Some time and a really dangerous situation in Mt.Moon that left TopPercent paralyzed and at 5 HP later...
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a4-128.png?t=1286569324
TopPercent lived up to its name. Moveset was standard: Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Hyper Fang.
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/th_a5-120.png?t=1286569324
And all that just to be replaced by the Cow Pokemon. And by that I don't mean Miltank, I mean Charmeleon.


BlueShellBeast October 8th, 2010 2:21 PM

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:
