    No problem.
    Also, just found out that training "Fossil" Pokemon is damn hard.

    Yeah, Fossil Pokemon do Level up Slow at the beginning of their training but once they're higher leveled (40/50+) they level up MUCH faster because they have a Base Exp of 600,000 (The fastest in the game)

    Now, seriously? THAT fast?
    Also, I have a question here.
    Can we catch any Pokes to be used later after we finished this challenge?

    Quick warning to everyone, because I discovered this earlier: if you're doing a run through FRLG and you're using a pokemon that's not in the kanto pokedex, it won't evolve. So you'll have to find a way around that.

    • First update:
    Named self Qwil (Qwilfish doesn't fit in), did stuff, chose Qwilfish as starter (using A-Starter), defeated Poochyena, named Qwilfish Spikester, did stuff, got to Rustboro, went to the gym, gosh, that gym was hard without Water Gun. I used a strategy comprising all my moves. Here it is: Firstly use Minimize 6 times so I don't get hurt much, set up 3 layers of Spikes so the next pokemon gets hurt, Poison Sting until it gets Poisoned (or gets Poisoned by Poison Point) and Tackle it until it faints. That strategy helped me defeat the gym. I defeated the Aqua grunt in Rusturf Tunnel and now am standing outside of Rusturf Tunnel.

    Team:

    Spikester/Qwilfish f.
    Level 16
    Poison Point
    Lonely Nature

    ~ Spikes
    ~ Poison Sting
    ~ Tackle
    ~ Minimize.

    Even if I used FRLG, I didn't had to worry about the evolution thingy because hey, Qwilfish doesn't evolve :P

    • I progressed more in my Qwilfish run and I have defeated Brawly. Easy with Water Gun. I proceded to Slateport where I defeated many Tubers and Sailors before defeating 2 Aqua Grunts. I defeated May and went to Mauville. Defeated all the trainers in the gym. Wattson is kicking my ass with Shock Wave atm. I'll defeat all the trainers west and east of Mauville before going to Cycling Road, I guess.

    ~ Spikes

    ~ Tackle

    Pushed my self to train Anorith to Level 19 before taking down Roxanne. Skipped Brawly for a while, training a bit on Slateport before going back after getting Metal Claw. Beaten Wattson's Magneton with third succession Fury Cutter, grindede Magma & Aqua, beaten Flannery with AncientPower, and evolved Zigzagoon.
    Also, finally I got an Armaldo. w00t

    • Can I still join?
    And, I planned using Shroomish-Breloom in FR, am I allowed to do that? I'll use Advance Starter to hack Shroomish.

    It's never too late to join, Darth Fader.

    The only problem with using Shroomish in Firered is the fact that it will never evolve. I suppose to could just start the game with Breloom or something o.O that'd be weird.

    Also, sorry to everyone for not updating the first post. It's a pretty time consuming task, and time is something I don't have a whole lot of. I'll definitely get to it over the weekend sometime, or next Wednesday, cause that's the first day of my summer break.

    • I already started on my Leafgreen. I was too impatient.

    Trainer: Red
    Pokemon: Squirtle (Evolving)


    Here's my update.

    I started my game with a Squirtle who I named John. I battle my rival after I got squirtle, who got a bulbasaur. We fought and I defeated him. I went to Viridian City training my pokemon. Just to find out I had to go back after I got a parcel for Oak. I went back and he gave me a PokeDex! I trudged to Viridian City and then cut through Viridian Forest. My Pokemon gaining around 7 levels. Then I battle Brock and 1 hit KOed all of his Pokemon with Water squirt. John then evolved into Wartortle.

    I trudged to Mount Moon then stopped Team Rocket and obtained a Felix stone from a nerd. Then I went to Cerulean, healed my Pokemon and saved.

    I finally did it.... it only took me a week from the time I got to the elite four.... Here is the picture for proof and Solo's final stats. Oh and I agreed with (I can't remember who said it I think Itz spadez did that it wasn't fair to use other poke's as revive fodder, so I didn't....)

    p.s. I know that's a horrible discription.... I had a way better one written up with pictures and everything.... Then I hit post, and I was told I couldn't post pictures from other sites since I don't have fifteen posts yet.... Lucky me.... Oh well it was a great challenge and I had fun :) Thanks Xephyr!

    • Wow. An unexpected hiatus on my part. Haven't continued my solo run since my last update.
    Decided to only update when I beat the game, and that last update would be short and straight to the point.

    Anyway, good luck with your own solo runs, guys.
