I know exactly what you mean with doing lots of challenges so that's ok. Wlecome to the challenge.

I think I'm on my ~200th run of Red/Blue.

Also, there's a couple more Pokemon you need to add to the list. Off the top of my head, you should add the Drowzee and Machop families. The Rocket in Cerulean City that gives you dig has a Machop and Drowzee, and in Silph, a Rocket on 10F has a Machoke, and a Rocket on 5F has a Hypno

If you read the OP closely, it does say, and I quote: If you have a cheating device, you can use Pokemon outside those types if they have been captured from another Trainer.

Not quite completed yet; don't forget, the goal is to capture all the legendary Pokemon. Mewtwo and the birds await.

@ myrrhman: I wanted to include those as well, but I had to make the rules quick, and including a list of Pokemon outside the regular types that show up once or twice would have taken too much space. Still, since they are used by Team Rocket, you can treat those as an exception if you'd like.

I suppose I should include an update on my own progress. I've defeated the Sinnoh Elite Four, mostly thanks to Golem using Explosion against Cynthia's team, and have begun my hunt for the legendaries of the region. Azelf and Uxie were first, but Mesprit, apparently detecting its brothers' capture, fled from me. I'm chasing it across the region now.

Stark Mountain proved tiring, as I had to best every trainer scattered across it before moving to the central chamber, but Heatran is now mine as well. Having captured it, I moved on to Turnback Cave for Giratina, who was by far the most stubborn one I fought, but he too eventually fell before me. It helped that my Misdreavus and Persian could switch in and out to block all its attacks.

For Regigigas, I had to request backup from the Hoenn branch of Team Rocket, but they sent the three Regis my way. With them in hand, I made my way to find Regigigas, and captured it shortly after it got its act together. Fortunately, by that time it had worn itself out with repeated uses of Superpower, making it weak enough to catch.

I encounter a strange time phenomana and it has took me back to the start of my adventure, all the acts of evil, all the badges everything has gone, and even as I recount this, memories fade - but all I remember is my name, Zagan - and that I am a Team Rocket operative in the Unova region and I will once more take the Team Rocket banner and capture all the legendary monsters for the might of Team Rocket!

(ooc bit, I messed up a code and it locked me out my pokemon boxes, so ive had to start again, but its a good thing in a way, i can go back to stealing trainers pokemon)

After much hunting across Sinnoh, I tracked down Mesprit and Cresselia. Mesprit I opted to capture quickly, using the Master Ball I obtained earlier to get it without a fight. Cresselia proved a more annoying challenge; even at minimum HP, it continued to escape capture attempts and flee.

However, I finally managed to stop its escape, and began throwing Ultra Balls and Dusk Balls at the weary legendary. While it escaped many, it finally succumbed and was captured.

With that, I had obtained the last legendary Pokemon I could capture in Sinnoh. My Team Rocket challenge is now complete.

Well done on being the first to complete the challenge!

Went to Viridian Forest. Beat a load of trainers and stole Weedle. Weedle evolved into Kakuna. Went to Route 2. Went to Pewter City. Saved.

Welcome, fellow member! Don't worry, I sometimes play as the female character too. Also, thanks for pointing out something that I never added in the OP.
