Here's what I did today.

Spoiler:
CHAPTER 4

Where did I leave off? Uh... Driftveil Drawbridge. Right. So, beat a couple Duckletts. Met Clay. Went through Cold Storage. Met Zinzolin. Beat Clay and got the Quake Badge.

Beat Bianca, after which Rufus evolved into Pupitar. On Route 6, Clarisse evolved into Dragonair and a lot of Deerlings fainted. Got to Chargestone Cave. Met the Shadow Triad. Got the Lucky Egg from Juniper. Got through the Cave, during which time Evelyn evolved into Gardevoir (one of my favorite Pokemon of all time!!!) and Darrell evolved into Excadrill. Beat N.

Got to Mistralton City. Met Cedric and Skyla. Skyla refused to battle me and told me to come to Celestial Tower to help a sick Pokemon. On Route 7, had my first Rotation Battle. Larry evolved into Sealeo. Got to Celestial Tower.

Necrum March 26th, 2013 6:49 PM

Updated through post 30.

I've been noticing a lot of people not really following the parameters when giving teams. Please pay attention when giving teams so everyone can be happy with what they get, and no bad feelings will be had.

Have fun! I'll be starting my challenge tonight now that I managed to secure a Surfing Pikachu. You heard me right. A surfing Pikachu, like from the Pokewalker. I always wanted to use one, but most challenges don't really allow me to do something like that because of hacking and trading rules. But with this challenge I can! Yay!

Tman109er, you can take Rapidash, Primeape, Porygon2, Forretress, Slowking, and Jynx.

As for me, I tried to get an update last night but the servers were overcrowded, so here's what I've done over the last 2 days:

Spoiler:
CHAPTER 5 (I think)

Got through Celestial Tower. Returned to Mistralton and beat Skyla, winning the Jet Badge. Got to Twist Mountain, and beat Cheren, after which my Croagunk evolved into Toxicroak. Got through Twist Mountain to Icirrus City. Beat Brycen and got the Freeze Badge. Went to Dragonspiral Tower.

Beat all the Plasmas and got to the top of the tower. Met Zekrom. Caught a Tranquill in the grass outside the tower, taught it Fly, and used it to fly to Nimbasa City (Dragonair ain't evolving till Lv. 55). Boxed it right away.

Went to Relic Castle and got through it, beating all the Team Plasmas. Used my Tranquill to fly to Nacrene, where I got the Light Stone. Flew back to Icirrus and re-boxed my Tranquill. Headed out east. Beat Bianca, after which Sealeo evolved into Walrein. Crossed Tubeline Bridge, where I learned that Ghetsis's intentions were never benevolent, and he just wants the power of Pokemon to himself.

Reached Opelucid, where I learned about the two Dragon Pokemon from Drayden and Iris. Got through the Gym and beat Drayden easily with Walrein, earning the Legend Badge.

Got the Master Ball from Juniper and headed out on Route 10. Beat Cheren. Got to the Badge Check Gates and passed them. Got through Victory Road (a long, gruelling process because I kept getting lost (-_-) ). Reached the Pokemon League and beat Shauntal, Grimsley and Caitlin. Lost, however, to Marshal.

Re-tried the Pokemon League and beat the Elite Four this time. Witnessed N's defeat of Champion Alder, and the rise of N's Castle. Entered the Castle and began preparing for my final face-off with N.


EDIT: Caught Reshiram, beat N and Ghetsis, and watched the credits roll, therefore making me Champion of The One That Got Away Challenge on Pokemon Black Version! I would upload a picture but I have no clue how... here's my team anyways:

Spoiler:
Excadrill Lv. 54
Gardevoir Lv. 53
Walrein Lv. 51
Dragonair Lv. 54
Toxicroak Lv. 53
Pupitar Lv. 54


Since Dragonair and Pupitar were both so close to evolving, I evolved them after the fact with Rare Candies. Just so I could say that I had a Tyranitar and a Dragonite on my team.

Gonna go do a Monotype Challenge now. I'm thinking Psychic, or Normal.

Necrum March 27th, 2013 2:42 PM

First update! I went through the usual start game nonsense, and managed to trade in all my Pokemon. What I forgot to do, was grab some evo items before resetting my HG, so I went ahead and hacked them in. I'm not evolving just yet, since I both think that's an unfair advantage, and want some moves for the stone evos first. I cleared out Sprout tower easily until Oddish, the only Pokemon on my team that was low enough to obey me, reached lvl 10 and started being a jerk to me. I beat Falkner with Pikachu, easy easy, easy.

Hey everyone! Just a question; While doing the The Ones that got Away challenge, is it a rule to capture your suggested team members all in one? So I mean that you go through the game with (in my case) 6 Pokémon from the beginning? (After getting the Pokéballs)

As for me: Haven't started the challenge yet, first I have to finish other games.

You don't have to have your whole team from the beginning. Some people just like to trade the whole thing in from the start. Some people like to add one member per gym. It's up to you really, which is why I made the rule that you can use any means to obtain your team. But you should try to at least have your first pokemon as soon as humanly possible. But over all I intended this to be a really laid back experience, so don't worry yourself too much over the little details of the challenge.

Pokemon that got away:
Spoiler:
Jigglypuff, Paras, Meowth, Exeggcute, Tauros, Jolteon, Ariados, Chinchou, Hoppip, Dustox, Mawile, Spoink, Lileep


Parameters: 6 Pokémon, a variety of types would be appreciated, but I'm not fussy. I just want motivation to use Pokémon I've never tried before. I have access to a fully completed pokedex on both Ruby and Sapphire, so I can get any of them. I'll hatch them as eggs, and trade them in at level 1. To make it a bit fairer, I'll only trade them in if theyre not obtainable before the 3rd gym or so [apart from the starter, which i'll trade in asap.]

Ahri March 29th, 2013 12:55 AM

Somniac, how about Tauros, Ariados, Mawile, Spoink, Lileep, Chinchou?

That sounds wonderful! I'll trade my starter for Spoink, and catch a spinarak early on, from there i'll probably add the ones i can't get after each gym.

I'll get started on that today i think, as I have an unexpected day off.

TrollShammy80 March 29th, 2013 1:27 PM

Got my game started today on Yang White...I honestly forget the starters aren't the usual 3 in this hack so I got Totodile as my starter, yay

1-Defeated Bianca (Torchic) and Cheren (Bulbasaur)
2-Got Mom Fishing Rod
3-Named Totodile after my friend, Zorad and then recieved dex from Juniper
4-Trained Zorad up to level 10 and headed to Accumla Town
