I can see where they'd be a mixture of it all -- friends, family, companions. Sort of like a cop-drama family dynamic in a way. I'm really, REALLY interested in ORAS and will be picking up a copy of Alpha Sapphire next pay check. I fully plan on picking up Omega Ruby, too! I already have ideas for what type of team I will be building for Alpha Sapphire, and while I won't be transferring the members of my first "official" challenge play through, I will be breeding from some of the members in order to bring them into the new save file.

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 ~

You guys are lucky in that regard as you have Pokemon Amie to interact and feed your team. Though I think having my team follow me in Soul Silver is pretty awesome too.

Yay! One step closer! :-) Forgive me, I haven't played Soul Silver. What stage does that mean you're on?

This is a separate sign up, still working on my Alpha Sapphire challenge

Breeder Lucy's Progress
Spoiler:

Well it was easy enough to get my first gym badge, I used both Basilisk and Iron Lady to get it. I defeated the Aqua Grunt easily from being at a much higher level than him. So my team were happy when we got the plans for Devon Corp. back, after a discussion with Mr. Stone I headed to Dewford Town thanks to the help and kindness of Mr. Briney. I look down at Juliet and Kitsune,
"ready for some intense training you two?" I asks with a smile giggling as I saw them both perk up at the idea. However I also see that Lucius wants to protest insisting that he was strong enough to take on everything himself.
"Lucius, you've done an amazing job so far and you are only going to get stronger throughout this journey. You need to let me focus on everyone else okay little guy?" I explain gently to him. He looks at me and in the end nods with a small smile "atta boy" I praise him. I look back at the team
"Well we had better get training hadn't we?" the group all give their own little cheer to the idea and I smile at them. With the improvements that Mr. Stone had made to my Pokenav Plus I know that I am able to just train between trainers that I have already fought against, which means that the group can gain more exp much quicker than grinding against the lower levelled wild pokemon. So that was how we intend to spend the next while, just running between Routes 102, 104 and 106 as well as Petalburg Woods.

Hey Oddy I was wondering when we have completed a stage and gotten our Pokemon to the required level do we have to collect the gym badges in order or can we collect them in a different order. Eg. I have completed stage 5 and collected my 4th gym Badge and now the way is open for me to collect the 5th, 6th and 7th Johto Gym badges but in the game I can skip Gym 5 and go Battle Gym 6.

Sorry if none of that made sense

Hiya! Sorry I've been busy with real life stuff so I haven't had the chance to check in. Due to the nature of the badges you will have to collect them in order. This just makes it fair for everyone, no matter what game they're in.

That's alright and thanks for answering

girlslikegirls March 30th, 2016 10:41 PM

So I thought I'd post a quick update before my work week begins and I'm super busy again!

I've been playing the Motherhen challenge as often as I can, usually 2 - 3 hours at a time when I really should be in bed.

3 out of the 6 Pokemon on my team are fully trained! I'm using Special Attack moves for the most part, so that has been where my focus is with the left overs being added to HP.

Sernin evolved into Serperior! SO MAJESTIC AND PRETTY I'M SO HAPPY. I really wanna get an Everstone ASAP though because I wanna keep Pumpkaboo as ... well... Pumpkaboo. I really love this form and the more I think about it the less I want Pumpia to evolve.

I'm on track though; Sernin is at level 36 and is 4 levels away from being able to get me to the next gym! I'm still trying to figure out how I wanna post these updates, so any suggestions you guys have would be appreciated. I don't have time for much, but I thought I might put up something on Google Docs or Pages and link to the updated cards that way. Maybe I can do something that's like a Pokemon Trading Card, but using my BB's specific stats? IDK. I'm going to play around with it when I have time.

Either way, how are your guys updates going? I know you both have multiple challenges you're working on now! Jon, it definitely looks like you have an interesting Team going for Soul Silver! How about you Lrachelr5? Also, side note, but I realize I didn't actually catch what you preferred to be called. Do you like your username or Ziggy better?

HyperJono March 30th, 2016 11:47 PM

I'm doing my updates for my games. From here on I'll be doing my proper updates from the POV of my character and making it a kinda like a story

I headed to the Pokemon Center to heal my team after defeating Morty and earning the Fog Badge. After healing them I looked at the map on the Pokemon Center wall deciding where to go next. After deciding I headed out and prepared to go west to Olivine City but Glacieric who was following behind me and grabbed my backpack and dragged me to east exit of Ecruteak City. I knew that he and the others wanted to go to Mahogony Town. So we headed east going to Mahogany Town. Once I got to Mahogany Town I looked at Snowblood and she tugged on my pants leg and pointed to the direction of the Lake of Rage. So I headed up there and when i got there it was storming and I saw a red Gyarados in the middle of the lake. I was confused I thought Gyarados were blue. I decided it should battle and capture this Gyarados so I sent out Frozenia and climbed on her back and went up to the Gyarados battled and captured it. After dealing with the Gyarados the rain stopped and a man in a black cape was standing on the edge. I got off Frozenia and the man in the cape came up to me and told me that Team Rocket was behind the madness. I let out a growl. We headed back to Mahogany Town and went into a suspicious building. Lance said it was responsible for the madness at the Lake of Rage. Inside we found a secret passage to an underground lair where a strange signal was being broadcasted. We stopped the the signal being sent out and Lance told me he was the Champion and he would see me at the Indigo Plateau. He then flew off on his Dragonite and I headed off to Olivine City

Diamond Update
For my Diamond Update I will just be giving my team info for them as I have only recently finished hatching them and I only just started training them.

Lucy or Luce is fine. In terms of my Omega Ruby update, that is still the same, although Iron Lady, Basilisk, Kitsune and Thamill are all fully EV trained, but most likely not correctly seeing as I wasn't aiming to EV train them.

Breeder Riker's Progress
Spoiler:
I have always been fascinated by the steel type. It appears to be so strong and resistant as well as that, my sister Lucy who herself is a breeder, said that after I move to Hoenn she would send me some eggs with my favourite type in them. I smile when I arrive in Petalburg City and decide to pay dad a visit before Lucy sent me my team. She also sent me a bird to hatch them faster. Once everyone was hatched I smile. I then get straight to training, at least I know that they all have attacking moves, although I'm very weary about using my Beldum seeing as his move deals recoil damage which could hurt at such a low level. I know that it is going to be a slow grind but when my magnemite evolves I know that I can take on the gym.

Update on Diamond
I'll be doing my updates in first person story in the form of a journal for Diamond and it will be tweaked a little to differ from game play
Spoiler:
Day 1
Today Daimon dragged be off to Lake Verity to look for a legendary Pokemon. We saw a girl and an old man. The old man was called Rowan. We saw a briefcase so we had a look at it and saw there were three Pokeballs in the briefcase. We figured the briefcase belonged to the old man. Suddnely we were attacked by Starly and had to pick a Pokemon from the briefcase. I randomly chose one and threw it and out come a Piplup. We defeated the Starly and then the old man showed up again and asked what happened. Daimon and I headed home and I told Mum what happened and she told me the old man was Professor Rowan
Day 2
Headed to Sandgem Town to see Professor Rowan. As soon as I got to Sandgem I ran into the girl I saw with Professor. She introduced herself as Dawn and took me to the lab. On the way she told me that Daimon had already shown up and explained what happened yesterday. When we got to the lab Rowan said I could keep the Piplup on the condition I helped him filled the Pokedex. I agreed as I wanted to go on a journey of my own. Dawn told me to meet her on Route 202 so she could show me how to catch Pokemon. As soon as I left the lab I ran into my cousin Diamond who said he a gift for me. Diamond took my Piplup off me and gave 6 Pokemon and told me the Pokemon he had given me were an Eevee, Sableye, Houndour, Absol, Poochyena and Murkrow and that they were all registered to my Trainer ID. With that he left.
Day 6
Since my last entry I went was taught how to catch Pokemon by Dawn and I received a Pokemon Watch or Poketch for short in Jubilife City shortly after arriving. I then checked out the Pokemon School to increase my knowledge so I could better take care of my team. I then headed to Oreburgh City to earn the Coal Badge. When I stepped on Route 203 I was immediately challenged by Daimon to a battle. I accepted and defeated him easily as none of his attacks could affect Gem.I then resume my journey to Oreburgh City, Once I arrived in Oreburgh City I headed to the Oreburgh Mine so I could raise my Pokemon till I knew they could take on the Gym Lead. After raising my Pokemon I easily defeated the Gym Leader Roark. I then headed back to Jubilife City so I could head to Enterna City so I could Earn my next badge.

Time for the weekly update!

I'm just under halfway through the challenge now! I have the 3rd badge and a few of my Pokemon have evolved. I'm really excited for them, although I've given Pumpkaboo / Pumpia the everstone. I decided that as much as I like Pumpkaboo's evolution, I really prefer the un-involved form.

My Mink Cottonee is now at level 43. He knows Giga Drain, Fairy Wind, Energy Ball and Razor Leaf. Mink has good endurance and a bashful nature.

Sernin evolved into Serperior. He's at level 51 I reset his stats so I could retrain him. He knows leaf tornado, leaf blade, vine whip and giga drain. He's capable of taking hits and has a naive nature.

Foonias evolved into Amoonguss and is currently at level 42. They know absorb, clear smog, astonish, and synthesis. She has a bold nature and likes to relax.

Pumpia was given the everstone so she could remain Pumpkaboo as mentioned earlier. She has a serious nature and is strong willed. She knows the moves bullet seed, razor leaf, trick or treat, and shadow ball.

Snover is at level 38, knows the moves powder snow, icy wind, wood hammer, and razor leaf. He has a calm nature and is a little quick tempered.

Lilo is at level 44, knows the moves bubble beam, water sport, absorb and uproar. She has a bold nature and is strong willed.

Pokemon Breeder Rydel's Progress
Spoiler:

I have always wanted to be a pokemon breeder and watch as my own team becomes strong from how I have nurtured them. So when I had the chance to take six eggs from Professor Sycamore I was more than willing to do so. My team turned out to be Joltik, Eevee, Oshawott, Gible, Staryu and Growlithe. They all look so cute together. I decided to spend the past few days making sure that I max out all of their friendships so that we can be as good as possible. Once that was done it was time to continue training. I always lead with my little Joltik who can paralyse and use string shot to slow any enemy down before sending in my other pokemon to take it down. We have a lot of training before taking on Viola.


TEAM
Spoiler:

Joltik (Charlotte)

I have to admit that there is something about my steel team that isn't appealing to me anymore, so I have decided to restart Omega Ruby with a new team of
Swinub, Piplup, Mareep, Munna, Absol and Frillish on normal mode

I am going to stop this challenge on Omega Ruby because I want to finish the game quickly in order to start some competitive stuff on this game

I've decided to cancel the challenge I'm doing on my Diamond but I am still doing the challenge on my Soul Silver, I just haven't had been in the mood to play Pokemon last few weeks. There hasn't been any progress on my Soul Silver since I last updated

Ducktastic June 23rd, 2016 9:09 AM
