I have made the decision to revive this challenge made by seal. The rules are the same and, of course, I will be participating.

Rules
1. You may only use Pokemon in battle that your chosen Gym Leader uses.
2. You may use HM Slaves
3. You may trade to evolve Pokemon
4. You must use your Gym Leaders signature Pokemon, e.g. Brock must have an Onix, Misty must have a Starmie etc.
5. This challenge ends when you defeat the Elite Four
6. You must have your first Pokemon before the 2nd Gym, this is possible.
7. Try to post every couple of Gyms
8. I'll be participating in this challenge
9.You may trade to get the first forms of pokemon (or second forms if that pokemon is nidorino or nidorina) as long as that pokemon's level is under 15.
10. IF YOU HAVE A GAMEBOY, you may trade to gold or whatever to train since it may be faster. You may only do this if you have a gameboy, since emulators have the speed button.
11. Have fun

*IMPORTANT!* Any unfinished challenge that is not updated for 2 months will be removed from the game. This is to keep the load of inactive players down. So make sure you devote enough time to this challenge.*IMPORTANT!*

Like trading to gold version, training to learn moves, than trading back? Sure thats ok. I will specify that in the rules.

Nice Challenge, Sephirothxx.
Anyway, I took Blaine and beat Koga.
5 badges with Fire-type fury!
Thank you very much.

Also, here's a big update. I've evolved my nidoran into nidoking. I have 6 badges now. My team is coming together smoothly. I will be getting my signature pokemon since I'm here at Cinnabar Island.

Bleacher I added a rule stating that you may trade to train ONLY if you have a gameboy, since the emulators have the speed button and the gameboy doesnt. Make sure you read that rule clearly.

Just beat Giovanni. Off to the league now. My final team will be:
Muk
Weezing
Nidoking
Nidoqueen
Lapras

Wish me luck, mah homies.

Hmm.. That will be a problem since my 10+ yr old GBC lies in pieces.

I wanted to trade for getting the elemental punches on Alakazam and sorts of that, no training purpose, just to get the moves. Thats against the rules?

For you I can gladly make an exception. Learning moves like that can really be tough in gen 1, when you can just buy them in gen 2.

UPDATE! I beat the Elite 4 a few hours ago! Yeah man! My first challenge ever completed!

Ok.. I'll be playing as Sabrina. I wish to use them in this challenge: Alakazam, Sandslash, Snorlax, Slowbro, Hitmonlee, Jynx.

UPDATE- Playing on blue, chose Squirtle as starter. Haven't caught any pokemon other than a Spearow. Plowed through Viridian Forest with Spearow's Peck, also defeated Gary on Route 22 with some difficulty. Had fun with Brock and Jr. Trainer. Currently resting in Pewter Pokemon Centre.

Current Team:

L13 Spearow- Peck, Growl, Leer

L15 Squirtle- Tackle, Tail Whip, Bubble, Water Gun.

I'd post pictures, but I haven't made 15 posts.
Beat Gary (That's what I named him) with a traded Salamence from Ruby and my Dragonite (which was caught in the Safari Zone as Dratini). :D
