You know, I haven't tried my hand in this challenge yet. I'm going to be playing as many as I can on Blue. I'll start from the top, so that means Safari is first. Now let me get this straight. I can not use Rhyhorn (available in Blue's Safari Zone) and Oddish (1st Gen Pokemon available in RSE Safari Zone) in Blue (or any game) because they are in different Safaris, but I CAN use a team of Psyduck, Tangela, and Arbok in Blue Version, because all three of them are available in ONE safari (all in sinnoh's great marsh).

Myrrhman get out of this forum you're too cool and you need to be in top condition for the The Challenge >: We have a JD to destroy

Don't worry about i t I'm changing the rules. If it is a safari pokemon period you can use it.

Well, I'm going to finish this before the big challenge, duh.

I'm starting a Safari Challenge on Red.

Team will be Nidoking, Parasect, Venomoth, and Dodrio (probably). Loreli will not be fun

Small first update.

Picked Bulbasaur (I feel he'd be the most likely to be found in a safari)
Got Faru the Nidoran M.
Evolved him prior to fighting Brock.
Beat Brock.
Got Duma the Paras.
Just exited Mt. Moon.

I'm back. School is finally over, so i'll resume my Survival of The Fittest Challenge. I don't remember the lives of my pokemon in Leaf Green and the pick-up ability makes it easy to find loop-poles. I'll restart the game in... either Japanese or Korean Crystal or Green... Will get back to you on my decision shortly.

Update 6:
Well, over the course of 25 attempts (mostly for training and determining what was needed to beat them), my team made it through.
Eous managed to evolve to Rapidash, but Nessie wasn't even trying to evolve to Dragonite...
On #24, they managed to beat Lorelei and Adwaita got about half-way past Bruno on her own.

A little more training, and I made the final approach, with all six getting in some decent fights - Clifford got most of Lorelei's Ice, Eous' Bounce was very useful against Bruno's fighters, while Nessie's Surf took out the Onixs. Astrope and SuzumeBchi got Agatha's poison (the Steel type really helped) with a fair amount of Full Restores. Lance was surprisingly easy to beat, and the Champion - well, my pokemon were pretty well set up to fight him (except Nessie).

Nessie - Level 44 Naughty Female Dragonair

Laura, your challenges are truly exceptional. However, I was kind of afraid to do some because of the competition around the players, and how the flaming and how it gets ugly, quickly. Now, there is a challenge I can do!
