Finished the challenge!!
Here's the ending (Excuse me for skipping Lt.Surge snap shot) Spoiler:

Congratulations WeightyWillBill, our second Champion! I'll add you to the list now.
Excuse my tardiness but I genuinely will be starting this challenge before much longer. I'm currently undergoing the laborious process of trading all, yes, ALL 400+ of my Pokemon collection from Diamond onto HeartGold, where they will stay for the foreseeable future (probably until I get Black/White). Who the hell made the trading animation SO SLOW?!!? Anyway, once they're all on HG, I'll get breeding, and transfer the eggs over to my SoulSilver game; then I'll do the challenge. |
I think I might do this again.. On Emerald, I think (:
Number of Pokemon: 4 will do. Special Requests: One that could learn surf, please? Another list of the ones that got away (All fully evolved this time [unless I've already used the evo] + 3rd gen pokemon) Spoiler:

I would like to try this
Name:Ragnia Game:Ruby(Rom) Special Request:A Pokemon that can learn surf Number of Pokemon:5 Pokemon that got away: Spoiler:

I have finally traded all the Pokemon I need over to my main HG game, and so I've bred my Ones That Got Away team. They're currently waiting on HG at Lv.1 until tomorrow, when I'll start a new SS game and trade them over to start the challenge. So I'll finally get to play through my own challenge! Hurrah!
Anyways, a pre-update of my team: http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/138.png Lv.1, Male, Mild. Somewhat stubborn. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/203.png Lv.1, Female, Sassy. Somewhat of a clown. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/200.png Lv.1, Female, Docile. Somewhat vain. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/127.png Lv.1, Male, Quiet.

Scatters things often. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/453.png Lv.1, Male, Relaxed. Quick to flee. Looking forward to starting this one! |

I finally started my Challenge. I picked Chikorita and beat my rival, and traded my team across from HG, all at Lv.1. I swiftly realised how good it would have been to raise them to Lv.5 before trading them, because grinding an Omanyte is tough when it's Lv.1 and its only attack it Constrict, which does a mighty 1 damage to Pidgeys.
After beating that very first Pidgey though (at the cost of 2 potions and about 15 Constrict PP) Omanyte went straight to Lv.3 though, including a +3 Sp.Atk boost when he hit Lv.3. It was worth it in the end, then. I decided to get each Pokemon to Lv.4 before I started to actually move on. Misdreavus was next, and was just as tricky although for different reasons. The wild Sentret I bumped into used Foresight and Scratch did a lot more damage to Misdreavus than Psywave did to it; I switched in Pinsir and ViceGrip sorted Sentret out, who bizarrely decided to use consecutive Foresights. The next battle, a wild Pidgey, proved easier for Misdreavus despite Psywave's unpredictability, as of course Tackle couldn't hit her. She dinged to Lv.4 and I moved onto Girafarig. Girafarig's displays in levelling up were hopefully not a sign of things to come; despite having Facade (105 base power with STAB) she had pitiful defences and went down to two Scratches from Sentret. With Pinsir's help though she managed to level up in the end - things improved exponentially as soon as she got past Lv.1, to the point that she was two-shotting enemies by Lv.3 - and so did Pinsir in the process, with ease, and his Attack rose dramatically. Dratini was next, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that his moveset included Thunder Wave and Extremespeed. His father was a Dragonair that I'd half-raised on Pokemon Diamond, so he had a bit of a headstart move-wise. Extremespeed caused Sentret some problems even with Dratini only at Lv.1, and with Girafarig's help he levelled up in no time. It's pretty lucky he's rather handy already, because it'll be a long time before he's fully evolved! The last Pokemon I had to raise was Croagunk, and I was about to do so when I realised his only offensive move was Astonish, which wouldn't hit Sentret or Pidgey. Dash and blast. Luckily though, Croagunk's part-Poison typing meant that he'd be invaluable against all the annoying Weedle around here, whom he could hit. Terrific stuff, especially considering that his starting stats were lower than all 5 of my other party members. I was worried he'd be useless right from the off... So we moved on North from Cherrygrove and lo and behold, a Weedle attacked! Croagunk made short work of it and was at Lv.4 in no time, thankfully learning Mud-Slap along the way (he's still screwed against Pidgey though!). Anyways, next time I'll do a proper update with less random waffle; I just wanted to post my (very) early impressions of my team before we got started properly. The team is as below in the spoiler tags at the time of writing. Spoiler:

Name:Ger345 Game:Leaf Green List of Pokemon that got away: Spoiler:
Number required:6 Any specific requirements:surf, fly, rock smash, flash, grass type, dragon type. Jeez, never really new i had that many. |
After a couple long sessions over this past week, I have completed my Diamond run.
Here's how my journey turned out. Update 1 - Oreburgh City - Victory Road Spoiler:
Update 2 - Elite Four (Both Times) Spoiler:
This was a really fun challenge :D I think I might do it again for a Gen 3 or 2 game after I finish my other challenges. Final Team I: Spoiler:
Quote:
Obviously, you can evolve them :) Have fun! If non of them can learn Rock Smash or Flash, post here and I'll pick one that can. Shouldn't be a problem though I don't think. |
Congratulations boomerjp, I'll add you to the Champions list right away. ger345, I've added you to Challengers.
BTW, I'm fairly sure Parasect learns both Rock Smash and Flash, so ger345 should be good to go. Update 3: - Cleared out the Goldenrod Underground - Found Whitney dicking about in the Radio Tower. Proceeded to beat up all her Gym Trainer buddies - Beat Whitney herself, primarily using my female team members, Misdreavus and Girafarig - Moved on North from Goldenrod, beating up a Sudowoodo using Omanyte - Reached Ecruteak. Beat up my rival (Manboob) at the Burnt Tower, even though my team were a bit underlevelled at this point - Set the Beasts free, then got grinding (realised Morty's Lv.25 Gengar would destroy me otherwise) - Eventually beat Morty and moved west to Olivine, having picked up Strength and Surf along the way Spoiler:
