Challenge log #1

Ok so as my starter I obviously took Torchic. When I could finally start catching pokémon my first mission was to get a wurmple which evolves into Cascoon. I took me all my pokéballs but after killing every zigzagoon, poochyena and wingull in the vicinity, some ralts and even one surskit (nooo) my fifth wurmple finally evolved into a cascoon. Needless to say I evolved it into a Dustox named "Karin" in no time.

By the time I challenged the first gym my torchic, which is called "Luffy" by the way, was already well on his way in becoming a Blaziken, having already evolved into combusken. I beat Roxanne and her trainers with Combuskens double-kick, that move being the only move which was quite effective against her rock pokémon.

After defeating the team aqua grunt with ease I took the boat to Dewford, but not before catching zigzagoon and shroomish and calling them both "HM Slave". In Dewford I trained a little bit in the cave before challenging the leader. By this time Dustox had learned the psychic move "Confusion" and he easily solo'ed the entire gym, gaing levels as his reward. After finding Steven en noticing I didn't have cut yet I got it back in Rustboro, a few moments later I set sail to Slateport, which concludes my first log.

Team Progress:
Blaziken: Is a level 21 Combusken called Luffy right now, with the following moves:
Double kick
Peck
Focus Energy
Ember

Dustox: Caught, lvl 18, called Karin. Moves:
Protect
Confusion
Poison Sting
Gust

Starmie: Not caught yet
Seadra: Not caught yet
Baltoy: Not caught yet

Challenge log #2

After arriving and slateport and defeating a lot of trainers around slateport, Mauville, and verdanturf town I was time for me to challenge Watson. I know he wasn't gonna be a big deal for my Combusken and Dustox and just like with Roxanna, Luffy's double-kick solo'ed the whole gym.

This opened up a lot more place for me to go and further train my Pokémon and in now time I had acquired the second member of my team: Blaziken! I used him to take out the fourth gym, which was a fire one. But not after defeating team Aqua once again, which was actually the hardest thing up until this point. Having totally overleveld my Luffy so he would evolve into Blaziken quickly I had no problem with Flannery's gym at all, getting my fourth gym badge.

Now for the moment I had been waiting a long time, my chance to catch two team mates at once! I'm talking of course about Baltoy and Anorith (which will later evolve into Armaldo). It was Dustox' task to defeat all the desert trainers and catch Baltoy, but he died before encountering a Baltoy, which meant I couldn't lower it's HP when I finally found it. No worries though, I caught it with the first great ball I threw. Moments later I grabbed the Claw Fossil, travelled to Rustboro to revive it and now here I am, no trainers left to challenge, standing in front of my Father's gym. Let's see if Double-kick can solo one more time!

Team Progress:
Blaziken: Caught, his name is Luffy and he is lvl 39 now, moves:
Double kick
Peck

Dustox: Caught, lvl 32, called Karin. Moves:

I have an ethical question for the more experience random players.
I got myself a Staryu now, lvl 29 when I caught it and I also have a water stone. Do I have to evolve it as soon as possible if Starmie was randomized for me? Or can I keep it a Staryu so it learns Hydro Pump at lvl 49. If I can choose myself I'll obviously go for the latter.

Challenge log #3

Been a while since the last update, in short my team is now complete and I have eight badges. When I got Baltoy and Anorith I started training Anorith quickly so he would evolve. He had an unbelieveably scratch, I know it sounds stupid but he literally killed every enemy with that attack. I replaced it with earthquake a level ago.

A while later I caught staryu and horsea, soon after I learned staryu thundershock, so it could be of help in defeating the last gym. It became my favourite teammember in no time and even more so when I evolved it at level 37. I never realized how awesome starmie is and that is why I think this challenge is great. It forces you to use pokemon you wouldn't use normally.

So right now I'm in front of the victory road, but before entering it I decided I would train my newest pokemon a little more. Especially baltoy and seadra are still quite weak, when they are at a decent level I will enter victory road to train them even more. I plan to have all my six team members at least at level 50 before challenging the elite 4, because I have a few disadvantages with this team on which I will elaborate in the next and last Challenge log that will be posted after I defeat Steven.

Blaziken: Luffy, lvl 50, moves:

EDIT - Update #1 - Gym Badges: 3

Well, started the game. Got Pikachu, defeated Gary, got the Parcel for Prof. Oak, and received a Pokédex. Caught a female Nidoran on Route 22, where I also defeated Gary for a second time. Passed through Viridian Forest with ease, and defeated Brock thanks to Nidoran, which evolved right after the Gym battle. Passed with ease Routes 3, 4 and Mt. Moon, with my brand new Nidoqueen. Now in Cerulean City.

Got Bulbasaur and trained him to lv. 13, and then I defeated Misty using only the guy in the Gym, thus levelling up to 17. Went through Routes 5, 6, 11, 24 and 25, meeting Bill in the meanwhile. Went on to clear SS Aqua and be gifted with HM01 Cut. Lt. Surge was very easy with Nidoqueen (can't learn Dig in Gen 1, sadly :( ). Went through Rock Tunnel and made my way to Celadon City. Before battling Erika, though, I had access to Saffron City and got myself Hitmonchan. Now in Team Rocket HQ.

Team

Nidoqueen, Lv. 37 ~ Body Slam, Thunderbolt, Bubblebeam, Double Kick
Venusaur, Lv. 36 ~ Body Slam, Poisonpowder, Leech Seed, Razor Leaf
Hitmonchan, Lv. 33 ~ Submission, Agility, Mega Punch, Fire Punch
Pidgey, Lv. 8 ~ HM Slave for Fly
