Quick secondary update before I go to bed. Yes, I know, it's like 4 in the morning and I should've gone to bed about 2 hours ago. I got distracted. lol
At any rate, I went through route 22 to level up through trainer battles. Other than that, I've mostly been grinding in the grass (which incidentally, is also helping me fill up my Pokedex). Lilo & Sernin evolved! Lilo is currently at lvl 17, knowing moves Mist, Fury Swipes, Absorb, and Nature Power. I find Nature power to be a really interesting move and am unsure why it's listed as a Normal type rather than a grass type move. Lilo also knows Rain Dish and is evolved into Lombre. Sernin is at lvl 20 (yay! 2/3rds of the way to level 30!) and knows Leaf Tornado, Leech Seed, Vine Whip and Wrap. Wrap is one of the best moves to use in the beginning of an encounter, but only if you plan to keep the Pokemon in the battle for more than one or two turns. Sernin has evolved into Servine and I'm quickly falling in love with ALL of Seperior's evolutions. Snive is really beginning to be my favorite Pokemon as a whole. Ugh, how do I decide? I'd like to build a team with Sernin, Bulba & Leafeon one day but that's another play through... Sernin also knows Contrary, which makes stat changes have opposite effects. Which is convent. The others haven't changed much. Fee is still Snover and I really enjoy using him as my last-chance type of Pokemon with his Snow warning. I dislike mist, although it's useful in group battles. Powder Snow is my favorite ice attack while I enjoy using Razor Leaf as the grass attack. Pumpia is still Pumpkaboo at level 10 and kinda useless save for one or two moves. I use confuse ray the most, but I have the feeling she'll come in handy more later on in battle. Mane is still Chespin, at level 11 and knows bite, growl, rollout and vine whip. I enjoy learning how to use Rollout the most, with Vine Whip being my close second go-to. Foonias is still Fungus, but Effect Spore has come in handy a lot. At level 10, Foonias knows 3 moves (absorb, growth, and astonish). I'm not really sure why these Pokemon are able to learn ghost moves, when only one is a ghost-type Pokemon. Chespin's ability to learn bite really confused me too. They were all bred with the same Ditto so I'm not really sure whats going on? Either way, it creates interesting interactions. I'll be playing throughout the week, but big updates likely won't happen until next week on Tuesday & Wednesday (my days off). Happy challenge guys! I wish you the best of luck! I'll still be checking in, so feel free to post questions or updates as you go through the different stages. I'm still currently on stage 2! Current Time: 5:54 |

a quick update. :-)
My friend caught & traded me a Cottene! I named him Mink! I'll be working with him as part of my final team from here on out. I've reached level 23 with Sernin, so I'm close to being able to Challenge the gym leaders! Not having the experience share has both been a godsend and a curse. It forces me to learn how to utilize moves I don't usually use when Sernin and Lilo became disruptive and disobedient. I'm still enjoying this play through. Once I get the experience share, it's going to be a LOT less grinding. For now, though, I'm still on stage 2. I haven't had much time to play other than to trade and breed on my copy of X. XD |

So whilst I was doing some late night grinding I actually found my first ever wild shiny pokemon, which was a Tailow, since I need a flyer later on I caught her for that purpose plus it has made me teach Lucius False Swipe in case I run into anymore shinys while training. Also I have decided that I want to write my updates in a way that makes it seem like my pokemon have their own unique personalities which will be in effect from this update.

The way I look at them is like a family Glacieric is the father he protects his children from the dangers of the world Hailstrom is the eldest child. He has lots of power but only uses it when the family is in danger Snowblood she is the second eldest child. She is quite mischievous and loves a good prank but will fight to protect the family when needed. Frozenia is the youngest child and cant quite keep up with the rest of her siblings but can hold her own when need Frieja is the mother. She supports her husband no matter what but is quick to punish her children when they do wrong And Snowstorm is the happy go lucky child of the family. She loves to help out in anyway way she can and will step back when she knows she can't handle it alone |
It's time for the weekly update!
I'm on my way to Stage 3! I've switched up my game play style a bit since I gained Cottonee. Mink, as I call him, is the front liner for battle. He's easy to underestimate, so it's nice to start out with him. He sets the tone for the battle as a whole. At level 16, he knows Mega Drain, Fairy Wind, Stun Spore, and Leech Seed. His ability is prankster -- giving priority to his move. He partners well with Sernin. I see them very much as close brothers who team up whenever possible. Lilo is my Lombre -- the water type on the team.She's my ace in the hole when we encounter fire types. She partners well with my Snover who I named Fee. She knows Mist, Water Sport, Absorb, and Nature Power (a personal favorite of mine). Her ability is rain dish which comes in handy against Pokemon who know Protect. Lilo is at level 23. Foonias is my Foongus. Effective against bug types, I really enjoy using Foonias as a mid section fighter. Astonish is a super effective move against fairy type. She also knows Absorb, Growth and Bide. I plan to replace Growth and Bide, I'm just not sure with what yet. Effect Spore has become one of the most useful abilities. Foonias is at level 14. Pumpia is my Pumpkaboo. I use her along side Foonias. She, like Mink helps set the tone for battle. She knows a lot of support moves; trick, astonish, worry seed, and trick or treat. She also has the ability Pick Up which works well for Trick. She's only at level 13 but her role in the team is pivotal to successful battling. Fee is my level 16 Snover. While he's the last member of the team to be used in battle, he's just as important as Mink and Pumpia. His Snow Warning ability comes in handy often, and he has a varied move set. Powder Snow, Icy Wind, Grass Whistle, and Razor Leaf create a full move set that I'm not sure I want to mess with. Lilo and Fee are very close, and I see them as a pair. Finally, we have Sernin. My Servine is often rebellious and doesn't like to do as he's told. Still, he comes through when it matters and he's very protective of Mink. At level 30, he knows Leaf Tornado, Leech Seed, Vine Whip, and Mega Drain.His contrary ability makes him a force to be reckoned with! So that's my little family. I'm excited to start Stage 3! Now that I have experience share, it should be a tad easier. Currently, I'm at 17 hours of game play. :-) |

I see myself as like the grandfather of my team. What about you how do you view your team? |

I see myself as the overall mother of my team, being sure that I understand my team's individual limits and show that I understand how they can each reach their full potential. Also, being a gym leader after the game would be really cool!

The closest we've come to having our own gyms is the secret bases in ORAS.
Its interesting to see how the interactions and the way you view your team. I mean with me when I was 6 and started playing Red I viewed my Pokemon as my protectors and as I have gotten older my Pokemon have gone from my protectors to my friends to my companions for life well at least for teams I build with wild Pokemon. But with teams where I breed and hatch them and transfer them to the game I am want them on I see them more as my family then friends and companions. If that made sense |

I'm glad you guys are finding this challenge so rewarding! It definitely makes the Poke Bank worth it, IMO and I really enjoy watching the relationships grow between members. It'll be exiting to see the results of every team. I have a surprise in store for everyone who completes the challenge, too so watch out for that once you guys finish ~ |
