Oog. You have to do Kanto too.

You know - no offense, but I REALLY hate challenges with arbitrary additional requirements on some gens. It just makes no sense at all that I play through eight gym leaders, the E4 and the Champion (or whoever's there at the end), then the credits roll and the game even ends up at a screen that says "The End," and... sometimes that's the end of the challenge and sometimes it's not.

Eh... whatever. I do vaguely remember reading that before I did my first challenge - I had just forgotten it by the time I picked up this one. So I guess this is just an update instead of completion.

Spoiler:

Nothing really eventful along the way to the E4.

Spent a while in the Game Corner (I sort of like Voltorb Flip - it's basically impossible to not win, so long as you're careful - it just takes a while) and got the Thunderbolt and Ice Beam TMs and put them both on Mewtwo, along with its natural Confusion and, after I won it, Shadow Ball. Bought Focus Blast at the Department Store for Typhlosion, and put Earthquake, when I finally got it, on Snorlax. Other than that, they had whatever natural moves were best at the time.

Did all the required stuff, including catching Ho-oh (I ended up deciding to play HG instead of SS). I didn't bother chasing the dogs, but threw Quick Balls at them whenever they showed up, and actually caught Raikou that way.

Spent some time grinding after getting to Indigo Plateau to catch everyone up to the highest level at the time, which was Feraligatr at 42, then we went in.

Will - Feraligatr took out the first Xatu and Jynx, then Meganium took out Slowbro. Then Typhlosion came in and crushed Exeggutor and beat the other Xatu.

Koga - Typhlosion one-shotted Ariados and Forretress, then Snorlax came in and Earthquaked Muk (took a while though, between Minimize misses, Black Sludge healing and a Full Restore from Koga). Left Snorlax in against Crobat and Body Slammed it into paralysis, then switched in Mewtwo to take it, then Venomoth, out.

Bruno - Mewtwo swept him. With Confusion.

Karen - Typhlosion took out Umbreon with a couple of Focus Blasts. Gengar came in and I switched to Feraligatr, who tanked its Focus Blasts and took it out with Crunch. Then Vileplume, which really sort of sucked, since I wanted to leave Feraligatr in there to face Houndoom. Switched back to Typhlosion who easily tanked Petal Dance and took out Vileplume, then hit Houndoom with a Focus Blast for about 2/3 of its HP, while losing about 2/3 of its own to Dark Pulse. I switched in Feraligatr while Karen Full Restored Houndoom. Feraligatr hung on with a sliver of red after another Dark Pulse and hit back with a 1HKO Waterfall. Then Snorlax came in and just Body Slammed Murkrow.

Lance - Mewtwo one-shotted Gyarados with a Thunderbolt. Aerodactyl came in next, who was faster than Mewtwo and hit hard with a Crunch and didn't quite go down to another Thunderbolt. I switched in Feraligatr while Lance restored Aerodactyl, then the race was on. Waterfall did just a bit more damage than anything Aerodactyl could do and I had more Full Restores, so we eventually won. Then he brought in Charizard. With my Feraligatr already sitting there. So we one-shotted it. Then it was the Dragonites. Feraligatr was low on HP and Mewtwo was still wounded from Aerodactyl's Crunch (and nobody else could do much of anything against them), so I switched in Snorlax and healed them while the first Dragonite chipped away at it, then the two of them just sort of tag-teamed their way through the Dragonites.

And that was that. Or so I thought.

Off to Kanto I guess...

It's Jumpluff, Espeon, Umbreon, Murkrow, Slowking and Misdreavus

If you like you can also skip 1 Pokemon from above. Then you have to use Unown instead

chidzz May 24th, 2014 3:44 AM

Oh, sorry, but there was just a death in the family. Maybe next time.

Imperator161 May 24th, 2014 9:37 PM

I'll give this a try, but based on the previous couple of posts, I'm a little confused about what my team should be/whether someone is using the previously mentioned team or not.

Arlo May 26th, 2014 5:03 PM

Quick update - everyone is level 59 or 60, I've got 16 badges, I rechallenged and redefeated the E4 and the champion, and now I'm just pointlessly grinding for levels so I can beat Red.

Ah, yes, sorry. I was listing the first stage of each. And I'm not allowed to evolve Gligar, correct?

Wanderer Miror B. May 31st, 2014 6:07 PM

I'll join in as well.

Name: Orrefan8888
Game: Pokemon Crystal
Pokemon: Steelix, Granbull, Qwilfish, Scizor, Shuckle, Heracross
Skipped Pokemon: none

I am allowed to do Steelix and Scizor, right? Or did the player(s) doing Onix and Scyther already take care of that?

AzureSparkz May 31st, 2014 7:13 PM

I'm dropping out of this challenge for now cause Heartgold roms are so glitchy and I just don't got the time to replay the same things over and over. I will probably be back when the Hoenn dex starts.

My team was Arcanine, Poliwrath, Alakazam, Victreebel, Tentacool, Golem.

Arlo June 1st, 2014 3:00 PM

And done.

I'll be back when you get to Hoenn.

CelticsPhan June 1st, 2014 6:15 PM

Feeling another run; I've been dry on doing Challenges. Plus, I have a few of these Pokemon on save files from previous Challenges!

Username: GucciMeme
Game: Crystal
Team: Sneasel, Ursaring, Magcargo, Piloswine, Octillery, Delibird
Skipped: Corsola (Recently used Corsola in the Location Challenge in Japanese. I can't trade my Corsola between English and Japanese versions, plus I don't want too many Water types.)

You are allowed to use both

AZealous no you can't evolve Gligar

I'm still at Mt. Moon in my run, I just did not have enough time to play...

Sounds great. I'll have to wait to get the battery on my Crystal fixed since it just died, but I'll start once it is ready.

Pokefan203302 June 4th, 2014 5:07 PM

Can I do a Black 2 one? So I guess that would be Porygon-Z, Stantler, Smeargle, Tyrougue (can't control what it will evolve with, so I guess just Tyrougue), Jynx, Electivire.
edit: Nevermind. I don't have the pokemon I need to do it, so I won't do this challenge.

Seven badges down so far. Hacked in most of the team at the start to make things more interesting. Currently, it's:
-Misdreavus lvl 26
-Slowking lvl 34
-Umbreon lvl 31
-Murkrow lvl 28
-Jumpluff lvl 29
-Espeon lvl 31

And another update: Beat the Elite Four, headed towards Kanto. Will update more later.

CelticsPhan June 14th, 2014 12:49 PM

It's been two weeks since I signed up for my Crystal Challenge, and now it is finished with Piloswine, Ursaring, Magcargo, Delibird, Sneasel, and Octillery.

Spoiler:

-Traded my whole team from other games. In hindsight, I should have chosen Gold, but it's whatever.

FALKNER
-My Teddiursa mopped him up with Scratch.

BUGSY
Slugma used Ember!

WHITNEY
I got Slugma to Poison with Smog, then I tanked the Miltank Rollouts.

MORTY
My now Ursaring used Lick and Faint Attack to defeat him.

CHUCK
Octillery knew Psybeam, so he wasn't any trouble.

JASMINE
Octillery again, but Magcargo took the Magnemites out.

PRYCE
Ursaring with some help from Magcargo.

CLAIR
Delibird (Icy Wind) along with Ursaring (Ice Punch).

WILL
Went with Ursaring and Faint Attack.

KOGA
Magcargo silenced his Bugs.

KAREN
Piloswine took care of Umbren, and the rest of her team was easy. I was pretty ahead of the level curve because of the boosted EXP from trades.

LANCE
I put Ice Punch and Icy Wind on everything that could learn it, and this helped me defeat those Dragonites. Octillery did some work with its Special attacks.

ON TO KANTO

SURGE
Ursaring knew Earthquake, no big deal.

JANINE
Ditto!

ERIKA
Delibird and Magcargo, pretty self-explanitory.

SABRINA
I went head-on with Sneasel. Her Psychic attackers couldn't touch me.

MISTY
A mix of Ursaring and Sneasel. No strategy, just attacking.

BROCK
Octillery blew him away.

BLAINE
Oftillery again!

BLUE
The whole team was used in this fight. I cloned the TM06 Toxic to allow my team to defeat Blue effectively. I did not fight many Trainers in Kanto, but I did not need to because of my ToxicStall strategy.

RED
Piloswine >Pikachu
Sneasel >Espeon
Octillery with Toxic > Blastoise, Snorlax
Magcargo > Venusaur
Magcargo with Rock Slide > Charizard, the Rock Legend


Pretty cool, one of the better teams I've run with in a while.

FINAL SCREENSHOT

Imperator161 June 14th, 2014 10:56 PM

I just finished my challenge. Kanto was a breeze, as usual. I wasn't that high-leveled when I reached Red, but managed to take him out in the end. His Snorlax didn't want to go down, but Misdreavus finally took it out with Perish Song.

The team:
-Slowking level 62
-Misdreavus level 48
-Umbreon level 50
-Murkrow level 42
-Espeon level 61
-Jumpluff level 50

Red defeated: http://i.imgur.com/1QJuBqc.png?1
