Okay, interesting team, I'm probably going to solo with Tepig until I get the C-Gear.
Since I said I'm going to fully evolve them, I've decided Eevee will become Glaceon.

I'm also assuming I can use Egg Moves, so I'll probably use those. I'll start later.

Fire Red Run Pt. 2
Red: I managed to evolve my Metapod into Butterfree, now Brock is being a jerk, one-shotting me with Rock Tomb, so (insert text about training to lv 14 here), and then after beating Geodude, it learned Sleep Powder, which let me win, Now I'm in Mt. Moon, I caught a Zubat, now to make my way out...
To Be Continued...

So, this is what, my second 6 month vanishment during this challenge? No real excuse, just haven't been in the mood to play Pokemon.

Please excuse the laziness of the team summary in this update. I'll try to get that back to the way it was in previous updates for the next one.

-Beat Team Plasma and got the dragonite skull back
-Headed on to Castelia City
-Got the Exp Share
-Ran into Cheren outside the gym, got told by Burgh to go to a pier
-Bianca's pokemon got stolen, met Iris who is totally not important
-derpy Plasma grunt shows up because they wanted another pokemon (didn't their plan just need her Munna?)
-tracked the grunt to Team Plasma's secret base...which has several grunts outside it
-exposition time!
-Bianca got her Munna back and that plot point was dropped forever
-Gym time!
-Beat Burgh. Murkrow defeated Whirlipede, Milotic beat Dwebble and Litwick beat Leavanny.
-Left the gym, for some reason got a call telling me to battle Bianca
-Easily destroyed Bianca's team
-Cheren's too
-Got some ultra balls from Juniper
-Suddenly Plasma grunts, got a bike
-Had to check out musicals because...um...Bianca can't do anything without someone holding her hand?
-Bianca's dad told her to come home, Lady Gaga overruled his authority...because she can do that, apparently.
-Rode the rollercoaster with N, then battled
-More grinding, because I have one team member that isn't weak against Elesa's Emolgas (Pursuit, Volt Switch and Aerial Ace >.<)

Team:
Audino F Level 25
Grotle M Level 22

My progress:
I beat Lenora and saved in her Gym. Ughh... I have to wait to get a Thunderstone on Route 9. I don't feel like searching Dustclouds in caves. :D

I must have a death wish, but add me to the Ultimate Challange, I'm going to aim for that after beating Emerald's and Fire Red's
Anyways~~~~
I just got out of Mt.Moon and made it to Cerulean City, first place I went was the Pokemon Center, and a friend of mine traded me their Abra, and was going to trade me their Steelix, but the machine broke before he could, anyways I went north, mopped the floor with Green again, got past the Nugget Bridge, cleared all the trainers after that out, helped Bill, got the S.S. Ticket, and then went and defeated a Team Rocket goon, which afterwords my Abra evolved into Kadabra, now to see if my friend can help me evolve it again...
To be Continued....

i have never used any eeveelutions so i will hack in 6 eevees to platinum version for a playthrough

Whats going on? Is the challenge thread dieing?
Anyways~~~~~~~~
Red: I have gotten through the S.S. Anne, was defeated after getting cut, I was going to check the truck rumor out but the ship set sail when I tried to go back :(
I got my Eevee, Aqua, back from my friend, Saffron was invaded by Team Rocket so I'm avoiding that place for now, Oh! I forgot to mention, I have obtained a Cubone, and an Onix, and I caught a Chansey with one Safari Ball. I hope my luck continues on my journey, I defeated Blaine and got my 6th badge, but Bill decides i should go with him to One Island, and now he is making me his errand boy, well, time to go find that lost little girl...

Alright, so, wanting to start with one of the pokemon assigned to me, I decided to make cubone my starter, and hacked it into a crystal rom. I chose chikorita at the start ( not that it would even matter ) and then proceeded to the point where I would be given my first pokeballs. I then captured cubone on the first route, only to find out he only knew growl! Ugh. Luckily one of the other pokemon assigned was spearow, whom could be found in the upper route that connects you to blackthorn city, so I captured him too. Time to say goodbye to chikorita!

Next, I leveled my two companions to level 5 and proceeded to battle all the trainers, gaining a few more levels in the process. Spearow made short work of the bug pokemons with its peck attack!

Arrived to violet city, I healed my pokemon and headed to the sprout tower. Here, I found cubone's defense to be amazing: he could shrug off even the bellsprout's super effective wine whips quite easily, so my strategy was lowering their defense with his tail whip, and then proceeding to one hit them all with spearow's peck attack. Whoa, his beak must be very sharp.. Cubone then finally learnt an offensive move at lvl 9, bone club! So cool!

After healing my pokemon again, it was time to take on my first gym leader. My pokemon looked like this:
Cubone lvl 10 growl, tail whip, bone club
Spearow lvl 12 peck, growl, leer

I decided to employ the same strategy used to defeat the bellsprouts, so I let cubone first and proceeded to weaken both pidgey and pidgeotto, whom couldn't really manage to damage him much, and then swapped to spearow to finish the two birds quickly. Mud slap was no issue either, due to my pokemon's flying type. What a synergy!

I started a new game in Pokemon Black picking Oshawott as my starter for no apparent reason. Tried to avoid as much fighting as possible until I was able to catch a Purrloin.
My god Purrloin made everything more difficult than it needed to be. She got KO'd by Bianca about 4 times before I got a luck crit. Cilan was the same deal, on my 3rd attempt I got 2 lucky crits in to steal the win.
After defeating the first gym I went and bought myself several repels to go find myself an Audino. After catching myself an Audino i headed to route 3 and defeated Cheren and team plasma.
