The 802 Challenge

Got up to Chuck and realised that I am now underleved, discovered that Jasmine's Steelix is level 35 so I cleared the Lighthouse and am now just currently grinding up my mons so that they are into the 30s.

-Did the opening stuff, caught an Omanyte and Kabuto (which was WAY harder than i wanted it to be ((used like 15 poke balls to catch the two of them, and had like....enough money for 3 extra potions because of it)) Omanyte's name is Camden, and Kabuto's name is Aurora (i forgot to nickname the Kabuto when i caught her cause i was so excited i caught a female kabuto >.<)
-Realized that the bellsprout tower was going to be a nightmare like no other. Quietly cried myself to sleep in the bed at home :P
-So, in character time now. Camden and Aurora have been with me since i was a very little child, and we have a very strong bond to each other, as we've been together for a long time.
-Made it to Violet City with easeee (resisting every type on a route sure makes for an easy time)
-Saw the bellsprout tower and shuddered with dread. All....those....grass...types...
-Went into the tower cause i really had no other choice. I am prepared to white out a great many times against the great grass types...
- # of white outs in bellsprout tower: 2
- Trips to the pokemon center outside of whiting out: 7
-Camden in particular was a sitting duck until he learned bite at level 7, cause constrict might as well deal negative damage.
-I hate bellsprout with a BURNING PASSSION!
-((ooc note: i did some research on the evolutionary stones and the three i need (fire, thunder, water) are only attainable before kanto via the bug catching contest or a pokegear phonecall, both luck based, so if i dont get one from the bug catching contest, can i cheat them in to make my life a lot less RNG based?))
-BEAT the sage at the top. Thank the stars for withdraw making it so that vine whip could only deal 4 damage after two withdraws, meaning i could beat bellsprouts. Man, that was rough.
-Went to the gym, and it was pretty easy (resistance to flying+normal ftw) although I did gain a new-found hatred for sand attacking Pidgey's -_-"
-Also roost spamming Pigeotto can die in a fire -_-
-Beat Falkner though!
-Got the egg from prof. Elm's assistant.
-Met a Porygon by the name of Paladol, who asked for me to train it and make it stronger, cause its programing told it it needed to become stronger, but couldn't manage it on it's own. I, naturally, agreed.
-And that's where im calling it a day! :D
-I'll add team info next update.

Day 2: I only played for a little bit. I went to visit Bill at his house north of Cerulean City. After that,
I went through Diglett Tunnel to get to the house on Route 2. There, I traded my Abra for Marcel, the Mr. Mime.

Day 3: I played for a very long time today. I tried to lead with Marcel as much as I could, so he could get some levels. In Kanto, where there are poison types everywhere, Mr. Mime holds his own. With just Marcel and Peri (the Venusaur), we played through two more gyms and all the story events necessary to get the Pokeflute. The flute allowed us to get past Snorlax and get a Super Rod. That allowed us to fish up Seaking in the badge check area south of Victory Road. It also allowed us to get a Poliwhirl in Celadon to trade for Lola, the Jynx, in Cerulean. We advanced to Fuchsia and just barely beat Koga. I got Surf in the Safari Zone and set off to get the rest of my team. We caught Electabuzz at the power plant, and we caught Staryu in Seafoam Island. To catch Chansey, I used the "Fight Safari Glitch," which allows you to fight/capture Chansey on Cinnabar Island in normal combat. I also used the "Old Man Glitch" in order to duplicate some TMs. I have to stop there for the night, but I did raise my team to about level 40 before quitting.

I tried to keep the party levels pretty even for the last part of the game. I was kind of disappointed, because my Pokemon had a lot of moves in common, so none of them really stood out above the rest. I guess in the end, Jynx was the best, since Ice/Psychic was a great type combo to take on the elite four. I think using the item dupe glitch to get extra TMs actually hurt my enjoyment of this run. If I were to do it again, I wouldn't abuse the item duplication.

-Headed back to Cerulean City, and went East to Dark Cave.
-Headed through Dark Cave.
-Arrived in Lavender Town.
-Headed West to Celadon City.
-Brought an Thunder Stone and evolved BUZZSHOCK into Raichu.
-Went to the game corner , down to the Team Rocket base and cleared it out.
-Defeated Giovanni using BUZZSHOCK's Brick Break on Onix and Rhyhorn, and Thunderbolt on Kangaskhan.
-Healed and went to clean out the Gym.
-Defeated Erika using [COLOUR="LightBlue"]JETRAY[/COLOUR]'s Peck on Victreebel and Tangela, and DIAMONDHED's Peck on Vileplume.

This time I decided to take screenshot after every Gym, so it will be mostly only thing that will cover this run. Just few notes:
- I hacked lvl 5 Tangela as my starter
- I solo'd with her for 3 Gyms and overtrained her a little bit
- I skipped some parts of the story to get Hitmonchan earlier and used him in 4th Gym Battle and whole Team Rocket storyline
- I caught Horsea right after getting Pok? Flute and used him as Seadra in 5th Gym Battle againts Sabrina

And finally, screens from Gyms:

- Nothing special this time. I got lucky and caught both Rhyhorn and Kangaskhan pretty fast
- Wait, something interesting happened! I caught shiny Seel into Master Ball
- Aside from that, it was normal run
- And I forget to screen beating E4 members, because of intense battles. I remembered it during battle with Lance
- And I must say, this time, E4 was pretty hard, even with all the training. Lorelei 1HKO Tangela, so Hitmonchan had to take her place and almost lost. Bruno was piece of cake. Agatha gave me some hard time, but after all, my sheer power won. And Lance? He was beating my Pokemon until Weezing came in! And in one big Blaze of Glory battle ended with me winning.
- Battle with Blue was pretty straightforward. If I could I used type advantage. But that Future Sight was problem the whole game for me and even in this final battle, it changed my strategy a lot.

And finally, screens from Gyms:
