I tried to convince Griffinbane to play this challenge with me, but she refused several times. But, she did agree to be my Valentine for the sake of this challenge.

The Gift:
Jolteon - Eevee is a great gift, and I've never used a Jolteon, and gives me the best type coverage to fill out my team.

The Valentine:
Lapras - Griffy's favorite Pokemon in LeafGreen. Would have been Arcanine, but that's exclusive to FireRed and I have no way to hack or trade on my 3rd gen carts.

The Attraction:
Ninetales - I'm more or less exploiting this one to add another type coverage to the team. :P

The Duo:
Nidoqueen - I have only used Nidoqueen one time. In a Nuzlocke... with a horrible nature... and it died... at Agatha... So hopefully this time goes better!

The Pink:
Slowbro - Standing out with my choice. He is not fluffy, but who could possibly hate that blank stare?

The Flower:
Veusaur - Sadly, this is the only option in LeafGreen, even though it was the one I was going to use anyway, so this is what I'm using.

Well thats sucks...cant trade and the favorite is charizard....hum....

You're allowed to trade or hack in the valentine Pokemon, but not the others.

You should consider bellossom a female counterpart to vileplume. Not that I'm using either, but they do fit the bill.

Edit: could I get a little clarification on what you mean by the pink leading gyn battles?

Eh, not really. And as soon as you get your pink Pokemon, it has to lead all the gym battles after obtaining it.

Also, something concerning Rotom. It's genderless, so I can't have it be female.

That's okay!

That's... still pretty vague. Do you want me to have it at the front of the party? Or use it against all the leader's mons? Or what? Leading the battle has several different meanings.

Lead as in start. I'll edit the first post to clarify. I thought "lead" was pretty straightforward but oh well.

It's good now...my best friend has many favorites, so my team is good now :)

The Present: Hitmonlee
dpiconani106.gif
(Kicking stuff FTW...the ULTIMATE GIFT!!!)

The Valentine: Raichu
dpiconani026.gif
(Hope it's a female...this MIGHT be useful, not a Pikachu, lol.)

The Attraction: Vaporeon
dpiconani134.gif
(To me, Eevee and it's evolutions are supposed to Attract and I wanna use one!)

The Duo: Nidoqueen
dpiconani031.gif
(Using Nidoking in a Red Nuzlocke...why not use her? Besides, it's the only duo I know of in FR/LG and I'm attracted to females, so yeah.)

The Pink: Clefable
dpiconani036.gif
(It's pink...and kinda wanted to use one.)

The Flower: Venusaur
dpiconani003.gif
(Haven't used this guy in a LONG time.)


I might also pair up these guys into couples just because it's a love challenge

Well, let's go Crystal then (isn't it always)

Username: Waters_Echo
Game: Crystal

Present: Odd Egg (It is a... ???)
Valentine: Umbreon (or espeon, I guess. One is the preset GSC, on is one of the favourites of one of my friends. Unless I cheat to get vulpix which is their even-more-favourite... ?)
Attraction: Fearow (I'd go with togetic, but seeings as eggs are set in gender when you take them, and toge-line are 7-1 male...)(So if I hatch a female than sure, togetic, but...)
Duo: Magneton
Pink: Slowbro
Flower: Meganium

--
And starting because I would do this even if not accepted, I promptly die of sheer "WHAT THE F$%@#@2sfsadfhgfbggbggfff" as I run into a shiny pidgey.
(then cheat to actually have pokeballs for three seconds to catch her, but not use her until that would be legitimate or something)

Okay so I have no life and started this challenge already ... and the only reason I'm stopping is because it is currently not daytime in my game and I can't be bothered to try and cheat to change the clock. SO.

- Started the game. Picked Totodile as my starter for the first ten minute of the game
- Went to Mr. Pokemon, beat rival, yadda yadda up until I obtained my Pokeballs.
- Hacked in a wild Sneasel which I then caught and named Thom. Trained him for a bit, deposited Totodile, and went on my way.
- Beat Falkner, Bell Tower, Busgy, and Rival with Thom.
- Arrived at Goldenrod where I then obtained the Odd Egg and went around biking until I hatched a Shiny Magby (which I think it perfect for this event as Shiny Magmar is pink). Named her Ty Lee.
- Trained Ty Lee for a bit before going and beating Whitney.

Current Team:

Spr_2c_215.gif

Thom ( ♂ )
Level 28
Ice Punch
Faint Attack
Quick Attack
Screech


Spr_2c_240_s.gif

Ty Lee ( ♀ )
Level 17
Ember
Dizzy Punch
Leer
Smog

You can hack in the Valentine Pokemon, just none of the others.

Of course!

Grats on the shinies, Tara and waters_echo!

Bashful nature

Spr_3f_034.png

Yeah so I like guys and I've used the King before and he rocks. Plus, I have few other options for Fire Red so it's cool (:

The Pink:

Clefable is pink and I've never used her before! I'm excited to try her out.

The flower:
Spr_3f_045.png

Again with the limitations of Fire Red (where's sun stone :[ ), I'm left to use this guy. He's okay though so I'm not too disappointed.

First Update!!!!!!!!

-Started and chose Oshawott.
-Made my way through the routes and towns and got to Striaton City.
-Raised Oshawott to level 17 before fighting Cilan, and beat him easily.
-Caught Munna(Lv.10) in the Dreamyard and Woobat(Lv.11) in Wellspring Cave.
-I ran around randomly and leveled up Woobat, and she evolved. :)
-After making it to Nacrene City, I raised my Pokemon to 22-23 and challenged Lenora.
-After winning with a lot of trouble, I continued to Pinwheel Forest.
-In Pinwheel Forest, I caught Syd the Petilil(Lv.14), named after Sydian. :D
-I saved after training Syd a little bit, the Big Root really helps with Mega Drain.

I'm so glad my SuperCard can take screenshots.

Let's go-

Trainer: Local (derived from the challenge title)
Badges: Zephyr, Hive, Plain
Pokemon:
Cumulus, the Flower
Bayleaf, M, lv31, miracle seed
Headbutt, synthesis, body slam, razor leaf

Nacreous, the Attractive
*Pidgeotto, F, lv31, -
Gust, attract, quick attack, sand attack

Stratus, the Pink
Slowpoke, M, lv, 30, quick claw
Confusion, disable, water gun, headbutt

Cirrus, the Gift
Smoochum, F, lv31, everstone
Confusion, dizzy punch, lick, ice punch

--

Now, often enough, the phonecall trainers are a right pain.
Even if they're one of the ones who give you stuff, it tends to be "And we failed at catching that pokemon by this much!"
The Four Element Stone Trainers; Gina [Leaf], Alan [Fire], Dana [Thunder] and Tully [Water].
Last time I did a challenge, I got no call for the stone I was after (I got a leaf stone at one point, but I was after water)...this time, THIS TIME.
Alan is officially awesome, as within an hour he had gone and gotten me a fire stone. That'll do, child, that'll do.

After a bit of thinking and setting it all out, I've finally decided on my team members for the playthrough <3, with a few explanations along the way :D!

The Gift:
392.gif

Neko the Infernape
I've given Torterra and Empoleon a go before and I thought this time it would be great to throw some love at Infernape. I've always loved its design and heard how skilled it was in battle but never got around to using it since I heavily favoured some other fire-types available in the game. And so far, he seems really promising! :D.

The Valentine:
025f.gif

Katherine the Pikachu
I chose Pikachu as my valentine Pokemon seeing as I heard my best friend mention it was one of their absolute favourites and how she found it adorable and cheeky so I thought why not? She doesn't play Pokemon often but out of all the Pokemon I've shown her so far, she loves Pikachu the most! And in dedication to that, here's my Valentine Pokemon :3, I have no plans on evolving it so far. <3

The Attraction:
457.gif

Luna the Lumineon
So I picked Lumineon because I was tired of using Clefables and Wigglytuffs, also a good water type is handy to have :3. It's an elegant Pokemon and although I've never heard of anyone who used it on their playthrough, I think it'll be fun using her :3!

The Duo:
475.gif

Victor the Gallade
Annnnd for my duo, I decided to go with Gallade! He's definitely an amazing fighter, I've used him a couple of times and he can sweep through teams easily. <3. Also there aren't too many duos in Sinnoh and I've been meaning to use a Gallade on one of my teams for a while, so this is a great opportunity! :3.

The Pink:
242.gif

Felicity the Blissey

Not much to say here, but I'm really looking forward to using her!

The Flower:

Rosie the Roserade
After a while I finally decided Roserade would make a good flower, I couldn't find a sprite though. :'(

x 5 (Cut and Pickup)

We started our lovely journey as a FRLG Beauty because the RSE Beauty looks ugly. We got our lovely gift and set out and beat Roxanne, but not before catching a ton of Zigzagoon because an army of them is important in life. Wouldn't you agree? -cuddles- We'll be making our way to Dewford next...once we help this Devon guy again!
