Quick Wrap up and Rating.
I'm not going to lie Gold, Silver, Crystal, Heart Gold and Soul Silver are my least favorite games. I have a few reasons for disliking them but I don't really want to go into it.



I have decided to rank the Pokemon with the first being the worst and the last being the MVP.


Lucky (Seaking)
It died like all the time, after a while I just stopped using it.

Feraligatr (SharpTooth)
Not a terrible Pokemon It just died a lot, didn't really get used an awful lot, and if I am honest Feraligatr is not one of my favorite starters


KrabSalad (Kingler)
Great attack stat with decent defense generally led into battle with this guy to test out the waters. Strong battler but could not take a special and was a bit Slow.


Flipper (Dewgong)
If you asked me after the elite four who was my front runner for MVP it would have been Flipper. Flipper was my gun and throughout the whole challenge was a fantastic Pokemon. Was a tough call between Flipper and Squishy for the 2nd Place.


Squishy (Tentacruel)
I honestly have no complaints about this guy Strong Pokemon who won me a lot of battles slightly edged out Flipper mainly due to Poison Jab Poisoning pretty much everything and it was Fantastic.

Wog (Poliwrath) (MVP) (I guess no one will be surprised)
I found it really difficult to find a water stone I was never playing the right days for the Pokeathon to reward me with a Water Stone I won the bug catching comp 4 times and nothing and Tully never called me. I wrestled with the idea of boxing Wog several times as honestly he was starting to become a liability. But once he evolved he became my number 1. I kind stuffed up his move set and he did not have any fighting moves and he was still fantastic obviously I would use him again.

I've been supremely lazy with my updates. Not much left to go on my SoulSilver run, but I'm not sure how my Flying types are going to fare against Red's Pikachu or any of his three Pokemon that know Blizzard, so I've been grinding. In the meantime, I've basically played all the way through Platinum.

I forgot to post any updates on my Steel monotype run so I'm going to do them now.

Update #1 - Monotype started with Oshawott as my starter. Caught a Riolu and named it Arin, and immediately deposited Oshawott into my deposit box. Completed the first gym and then went to the next city. Caught a Magnemite, and forgot to name it. Arin evolved right before the 2nd gym and then immediately after I completed the 2nd gym. Went on to Castellia City and completed the sewer part and as soon as I got out of it, I went and challenged the 3rd gym and completed it.
