just a quick question to ShinyGold in this challenge, when is the challenge completed? after I became the champ or after I beat the rival for the last time in Cerulian City? (dunno exactly if this is the last fight against the rival).

Alright, so I can get this all done at once. I want everyone to tell me if they've beaten a challenge and if they need a new team. Being gone these past days and I don't feel like trying to keep track of all this from going back and forth between pages.

Oh wow. Sorry for the complete lack of updates for my run, life kind of got in the way and I forgot I was doing it.:nervous:
I don't really know what I've done since I just started playing the game again so I'll just add this small synopsis of what seems to have happened:

Pokemon Emerald
Number of Badges: 6

*It seems like I've already gotten 6 badges and defeated Team Magma, as their hideout is cleared out and Groudon is gone

Okay! I finally finished this challenge! After neglecting it for so dang long I spent last night beating the E4 and then grinding to fight Steven.
Pokemon Emerald
Number of Badges: 8
E4 defeated, Champion and defeated Steven

50px-Dynamo_Badge.png
50px-Heat_Badge.png
50px-Balance_Badge.png

I'm skipping the gym fights, events and grinding

*After finally getting all my badges and going through Victory Road, I start adding TMs to my team to buff them up
*Starting with Sydney, I used Jessie to beat through all his Pokemon
*Next was Phoebe, who gave me more trouble than I thought. Sharpedo was able to take down 3 pokemon before going down to a thunderbolt. I then switched to Evan to just Faint Attack the rest to fainting.
*Glacia was a piece of cake with just using Numan.
*Drake was the hardest as I had to fight him twice. First time, I let Kingdra get off too many dragon dances and when I finally defeated it, I only had Evan left and he went down to Salamence's Flamethrower. Second time around, I got lucky and got a critical hit Sky Uppercut on the first turn I fought Kingdra and the rest were easy.
*Wallace was... easy-ish. Evan took a few turns with Needle Arm to take down Wailord, Cathy took down his Tentacruel with Psychic and then back to Evan to defeat 3 other pokemon, with Milotic getting a critical hit Ice Beam the first turn they fought. Quick switch to Numan and I won with a Sky Uppercut.
*Grind Time*
*After getting back and Grinding for a few levels, I went to fight Steven.
*After a few turns of Blaze Kicking Skarmory (He kept using Full Restores), I was finally able to defeat it.
*Next, he used Aggron, which was quickly defeated by a Sky Uppercut.
*Next was Metagross, who was defeated by a few turns of Blaze Kicks (again with the dang Full Restores).
*He pulled out Claydol, who actually defeated Numan with an earthquake after Sky Uppercut missed. I switched over to Nikoli, who was defeated by an earthquake on the first turn. Going over to Evan, his Claydol put up a lightscreen, reflect and full restores which made me have to constantly use Needle Arm and Faint Attack until it finally fainted (Needle Arm didn't have any PP left and Faint Attack had very few left).
*A quick switch to Armaldo, I switched to Jeb and used Psychic until it finally fell.
*When he sent to Cradily, I kept Jeb in but he was defeated after only 1 Giga Drain. Switched over to Cathy, who was also defeated, but put up a good fight (His Cradily had its stats boosted almost every time it used Ancient Power and Ingrain was in effect). I then went to Jessie, who I used as a buffer until I revived Numan. I switched to Numan and defeated Cradily with a Blaze Kick.

Final Team:
