Forum User Name: Darkhelmet
Pokémon Type: Poison
Challenge Mode: (Single, Ultimate, or Freeplay): Ultimate
Game(s): Hacked FireRed, Crystal, Emerald, Diamond, Black, Y

Note about Hacked FireRed: Basically just a hard mode of the original FireRed that I hacked myself, only thing I changed was trainer pokemon lineups, all gym leaders have 6 pokemon, trainers pokemon are evolved to avoid the level 38 Charmander that I know someone on some route has, and the Elite 4 and Champion have far more diverse teams instead of just a single type. Oh, and the Champion is a double battle. So, yeah. If it is necessary to play the original FireRed I will do so (I know it says hacks are allowed on the front page, but I don't know if that would apply to a hack I made myself that no one has ever seen but me lol)



EDIT: Update #1

Started FireRed, chose Bulbasaur as my starter, lost the opening fight to my Rival. Did the normal footwork of running Oak's Parcel back to him, immediately ran into Viridian Forest, caught a Weedle. Trained him up a little bit, went back, fought Rival outside Pokemon League, won that. Got through Viridan Forest, evolving my Weedle into a Beedrill along the way. Got to Brock, completely forgot how easy he is with a grass pokemon since I never seem to draw them in Random Pokemon and Ones that Got Away challenges XD. Brock goes down incredibly fast, start making my way to Mount Moon. Catch a Nidoran Female on the way to Mt. Moon, a Zubat inside Mt. Moon, and an Ekans on the Cerulean side. Picked the Helix Fossil, of course (Hail Lord Helix!) Second Rival fight was a bit harder since in my hard mode hack, the Rival has a Magnemite as his first throw, and didn't have anything super effective against it. Just had to pretty much Leech Seed/Sleep Powder stall to get through him without too much damage.

Nugget Bridge and the trip to Bill's took a lot of trips back to the Pokemon Center, but got through it. Ivysaur rolled all over Misty's pokemon with Razor Leaf, got the TM for Dig, which I taught to Ekans to give him something to hit with. I made it to Vermillion and boarded the S.S. Anne, where I am currently still playing. Current party:



Will update either later tonight or tomorrow.

Update #4 - Kanto 4/8
I kind of did this with a blank mind since I have a huge headache from the party last night. I only got 1 hour of sleep and I have school tomorrow, I feel terrible. Good thing to do to pass time until I'm tired and can sleep. Banner in sig again.

-: Made it to Rock Tunnel.
-: Made it through Rock Tunnel barely, nearly ran out of PP for all my useful moves. I could've just dug out, restored and used repels on the way back but I wanted to hold out.
-: Skipped all the trainers possible from the exit of Rock Tunnel to Celadon City. Collected the hidden coins + bought 2050 coins. Played a bit and won exactly enough for Pinsir, 2500.
-: Bought Lv18 Pinsir and named it Rudeus after the character from Mushoku Tensei. The final translation came out in bulk today, I guess it was sort of a 'in honour of my favourite web novel ending' thing but I really like the name Rudeus too.
-: Grinded him to somewhere in the twenties using the trainers I skipped.
-: Fought Erika; Rudeus beat the gym himself but it was troublesome. Victreebel paralyzed him then got OHKO'd via critical. Tangela constantly healed using Leech Seed, Ingrain and **ga Drain while I spammed Vicegrip until it ended him. Vileplume threw weak acids while it was whittled down by Seismic Toss. It was slow but it worked.
-: Recieved the Rainbow Badge.

Johto Pokemon Crystal Massive Update: 16/16, on our way to Mt. Silver

basically, we collected every badge in Kanto and got our free pass to Mt. Silver in preparations for an impossible battle to end this monotype challenge. To properly summarize every other Kanto gym challenged, most of them were cleared using our team's Jumpluff, Magic (ah ah awwwww!), with powerful moves such as Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, and Hidden Power ghost. The only really difficult Kanto gym leader was obviously Blue, who's level and difficulty spike compared to the rest of the game still surprises most other players up to this day.

As a bonus, we also challenged the Rival, Soichiro in Mt. Moon which i totally didn't see coming, but it wasn't a real threat compared to Blue.

UPDATE! CLOSURE!

WE DID IT BOYS AND GIRLS! We did it! We didn't think it was possible, but we thought we were going to lose (again) to Red at Mt. Silver but after some more hard work and leveling, at the expense of the Elite 4, Victory Road, and Mt. Silver's wild tenants, we finally did it! To basically summarize the whole battle, we did our best to abuse whatever built-in advantages we had. I felt that even when at more than 10 levels lower than Red's party, we could beat him as long as we removed the number one threat on his team.

VS Red.


Final Team, Levels, and Comments:
Cheleene, 63 @ Softsand
Hidden Power (Ghost), Earthquake, Razor Leaf, Headbutt
= Chelenne was our team's Ace helped much of the Pre-Kanto content of the game, such as stuff the likes of Whitney, Pryce, Clair, and some members of the gen 2 Elite 4, Lance, as well as the Rival Battles. One of his highlights was soloing the Rival in Victory Road. he ended up having 4 attacks and no status moves in order to punch holes at the enemy trainers' teams with the moves he had on his set. That Soft Sand was needed in order for EQ to deal more damage than Razor Leaf, since EQ was a much more useful move on his set than any other move, aside from HP Ghost.

Moopz. 62 @ N/a
Razor Leaf, Sludge Bomb, Sleep Powder, Growth
= Much like Chelenne, Moopz got to see a lot of action during the pre-Kanto story and became quite the heavy hitter when Sludge Bomb came along.

Calitrilolz, 61 @ Leftovers
Psychic, Hidden Power (Fire), Reflect, Sleep Powder
= Undoubtedly having the best 2 attacking moves for this run and 2 useful status moves as well. Calitrilolz was the one who stepped up when critical parts of the game needed to be cleared, such as the Gen 2 Elite Four (Koga and Bruno in particular).

Magic 62 @ Leftovers (MVP!)
Leech Seed, Sleep Powder, Mega Drain, Hidden Power (Ghost)
= THE MVP! It took me a while to find a Hoppip but once i found that lucky Hoppip somewhere, she became the MVP of the post-Johto storyline and was pivotal in our team's conquests. Spreading Sleep and Seeds everywhere, Magic (Ah ah awwwwwww) was a threat that didn't need heavy damage attacking moves to put opponents on their knees. She was also unusually bulky due to the way Gen 2 works while having Leech Seed and Leftovers sustain. Magic was responsible for the takedown of 2 of the most threatening Pokemon that we have ever faced in this run, coming from 2 very strong trainers: Blue's Arcanine, and Red's Charizard. Without Magic's support, our team could have never won this game. To anyone who says that Supports cannot carry, Magic was blessed with Madlife's powers of carrying a team of damage dealers with extremely good support moves.

Jakkie, 53 @ N/a
Slash, Spore, Fury Cutter, Cut

Bushy, 54 @ n/a
Stun Spore, Growth, Mega Drain, Hidden Power (Ice)

I have nothing more to say with the last 2 members of the team. Jakkie, being a Parasect meant that her only useful move was Spore and her crippling weaknesses and slow speed just made her dead weight for our team. She had her moments but not enough for the Kanto content of Gen 2. As for Bushy, he had his moments as well but not anything special other than chipping away Red's sleeping Charizard with HP Ice.

Update #5 - Kanto 5/8
This took two days because I underestimated how long it took to complete that split path area of the game, so many trainers. My team is complete.

Day 01: 18/05
-: Defeated Giovanni and got the Silph Scope.
-: Saved Mr. Fuji and got the Poke Flute.
-: Killed the right side Snorlax and proceeded.
-: Caught Lv28 Venonat and named it Akiyama after the character from K-On!. This one was pretty random, I was thinking of names and a Mio picture popped up on a gif rotation, I thought about just using Mio but I preferred Akiyama for a Pokemon name.
-: Made my way through the right path of the trek from Celadon -> Fuchsia.
-: Akiyama evolved at Lv31 on Route 13
Day 02: 19/05
-: Ran to Cerulean and bought a Bicycle.
-: Completed the left path; cycling road.
-: Fought Koga; Rudeus sacraficed himself against the first Koffing. Sento came out to deal with Muk immediately, using Spore/Dig to stop any Sludge/Minimize attempts but was done in by a stray critical Sludge. Akiyama came out to finish the job, handled the remaining Muk, Koffing and Weezing with Psybeam's.
-: Recieved the Soul Badge.

OwO I finally got some progress done on my ice monotype on FR Omega- I love my team though I actually needed to EV train some of them and that took me ages x.x

Update #6 - Kanto 6/8
I didn't spend much time on this, VBA suddenly went to 600% speed so it went by very quickly. I'm nearly done I guess, 3/4 the way there. I didn't feel like making a post about it but it's past midnight so I might as well not postpone it.

-: Beat Giovanni and got the Master Ball.
-: Fought Sabrina; Raku defeated Kadabra and Mr. Mime w/ Twineedle, Sento defeated Alakazam w/ Slash, and Rudeus defeated Kadabra w/ Vicegrip.
-: Recieved the Marsh Badge.

Strider's Silver Water-Type Update 5: (Ecruteak City - Cianwood City)
Special double feature today because I didn't take that many screenshots and because you can fight Jasmine immediately after Chuck.


So I literally finish writing the update and the site goes down, so I have to rewrite a big chunk. *cries in a corner*

Team:


Tidus the Croconaw (Lv. 28)
Bite
Scary Face
Fury Cutter
Water Gun


Zidane the Quagsire @ Quick Claw (Lv. 28)
Water Gun
Tail Whip
Slam
Amnesia


Tifa the Gyarados (Lv. 28)
Dragon Rage
Strength
Bite
Surf


Rydia the Azumarill (Lv. 28)
Defense Curl
Tail Whip
BubbleBeam
Rollout

Tidus is SO underwhelming right now, being a starter and all. Don't be surprised if he knows Surf by the end of next update.

God your team brings back memories. It's the exact same team I used in my LG Bug Mono 3 years ago.

Signing up a new challenge:

Forum Username: Xin ZhaoYun (Formerly Mega Xin Zhao)
Type: Steel
Game: Platinum (with a minor mod where all trade evolutions are removed, so its still Platinum)
Challenge Mode: Single
Extra restrictions: Set battle mode throughout the game, No use of healing items and revives in trainer battles.

I'd like to sign up for a new monotype run. Though I'll do my best to be more active because of major academic requirements such as Thesis proposals and alla dat. Its a way for me to celebrate my recently completed Tri-Regional Grass type challenge and the minor Gen 1 Normal Type monorun.

Nice, I feel like Scyther would be more popular than Pinsir but I'm glad it gets some love too. Just curious, how was going up against the E4 with bug's? I'm dreading the worst. I think Pinsir and Parasect will be able to carry the team somewhat well during the tough parts.

Update #7 - Kanto 7/8
I really dislike the water part of this game, the entire trek from Sabrina to Blaine is a little too boring for me. I managed to push myself through it, if I leave it too long I'll have trouble returning to it.

Day 1: 21/05
-: Explored the Safari Zone; collected a few items, TMs, Surf and the Gold Teeth
-: Took a Hitmonchan from the Fighting Dojo to use for Strength.
-: Took Squirtle from the PC to use for Surf.
-: Took Farfetch'd from the PC to use Fly.
-: Beat all the trainers on the water routes.
Day 2: 22/05
-: Entered the Pokemon Mansion. Seriously had so many battles it wasn't funny. The encounter rate must've been super high because every 8 steps was a battle. I fought anyway because I'm going to need the experience desperately later.
-: Collected the Secret Key. I realised Sludge Bomb was post-game and taught Raku Return instead. Seems like a decent choice, having Endeavor might have been a better move but we'll see in time. Return is working wonders at the moment.
-: Fought Blaine; Rudeus OHKO'd Ponyta, Growlithe and Rapidash. Rudeus landed one Rock Slide on Arcanine but got OHKO'd himself. Akiyama landed a Toxic then got OHKO'd. While Blaine wasted his turn using a full heal instead of a Hyper Potion due to the Toxic, Raku finished it with Hyper Beam.
-: Received Volcano Badge.

Update #8 - Kanto 8/8
The final stretch~, Not much to say really. This was done a little slower than my fire run but it was fun. One gym per day, one per two days in some cases. Bugs are cool.

-: Received Earth Badge.

Update #4: Grass - Platinum
I might have been a bit (a lot) overleveled for the Elite Four, but I really don't like struggling through it and depending on getting crits and not getting crits against, etc. I still didn't one-shot everything and Cynthia's Garchomp was a level higher than (most) of my team. Grass is, dare I say, my least favorite type and it still is, though I do like some of the Pokémon I've used as they've really surprised me.

Right now I have Vaporeon, Sharpedo, Quagsire, and Dewgong, all at L37-38, with Spheal (L31) boxed.

Update #9 - Kanto Complete
I fought the E4 twice, the first time at all Lv50 where I only made it to Lance before being destroyed so I ended up having to grind for a few days :/ Well, it's done either way~. It was fun. Rudeus was MVP, Raku was LVP. 200th post was this, fitting since most of my posts are about this challenge.

Also as a little compilation thing; all my signature pictures

@Crackin How do you make those sigs? I like them.

On-topic: Its been a busy week for me, no time for pokemon. I am up to the elite 4 where I stalled at the champion....stupid champ leading with Magneton and Arcanine who completely ruin my Nidoqueen before she can Earthquake....
