Right, I’ve decided on:

Heracross
Pinsir
Dustox
Armaldo
Masquerain
Ninjask

as my team. Hope that’s OK!

-------------------------------------------

So, I started Pokemon Sapphire, Birch gave me the low-down of stuff I already know, and I told him my name is Dan. So yeah… Mom showed me around… met May… nicked a Torchic from Birch, beat up a Poocheyena – yeah you’ve heard it all before. Went to Route 103, won against May, got the Pokedex. And here’s what I really wanted – Pokeballs!

Out on Route 102, I caught a Lv3 male Wurmple, my first bug type! Hurray! Called him Merlin. Why? Who knows. I also caught a Lotad for HM purposes. After a while of training Merlin (with help from Torchic), I came across a Lv3 female Surskit! Lucky for me, as I wasn’t actually sure where to catch one anyway. And I caught her! Called her LadyOfLake. Think I’ve decided on Arthurian theme for names :P

At last, Merlin reached level 7. What? Merlin is evolving! Just my luck, it evolved into Silcoon ¬¬ Dang, time to find another Wurmple. Oh well – it isn’t exactly the rarest Pokemon around.

Caught a new one – called this one Merlin as well. Confusing much? After some more time training, the new Merlin grew to level 7. What? Merlin is evolving! NOOOOO ANOTHER BLASTED SILCOON! Argh. That does it. I’m training up LadyOfLake for a while. I fought against the first trainer on the route once she got to level 6 – and owned his silly little Zigzagoon! Bubble ftw. After the battle I caught yet another Wurmple, Lv4 male, called him Merlin again. This time he had better evolve into Cascoon, or I’ll be rather annoyed.

Woohoo! Cascoon it is. I then defeated Bug Catcher Rick’s Wurmple duo using my new improved Merlin! Youngster Allen wasn’t much of a challenge either, good thing his Taillow was only level 3 or it could have been a problem. Lass Tiana was pretty easy. I’ll stop for now at Petalburg City Pokemon Center.

Party:
Merlin (Cascoon) – Lv8 – Tackle, String Shot, Poison Sting, Harden
LadyOfLake (Surskit) – Lv8 – Bubble, Quick Attack

Other Pokemon: Torchic, Silcoon, Silcoon, Lotad

Total Play Time: 1:30

Haha, I haven’t got very far in an hour and a half…

Oh yeah, thanks!

I've been searching route 104 for about 15 minutes, but no Wingull/Tailow yet! Grr.
Oops. About a minute after posting, I found a Tailow....

Thank you. I'll post my report so far.
Started off, blah blah, picked Mudkip, Blah blah, owned my rival with 3 HP left, got my Pokeballs and Dex. Spent 15 or so minutes trying to find a Tailow, then spent 15 minutes raising it to it's current level, 16. Now I'm at my first problem. Should I wait until:
1) Tailow learns Double Team at level 19
2) Tailow Evolves.
3) Swellow learns Endeavor.
This is to fight Roxane. My next pokemon will be a Zubat, unless another Flyer is available sooner than Dewford.

Just raise Wingull o_O It'd be a lot smarter than trying to take her on with taillow.

Wingull is, and it'll make it a lot easier to beat Roxanne.

Edit: UGH! Beaten by one minute. q.q

I couldn't find one, but thank you. I actually took her on with a level 22 Swellow. Double team a few times, then a Focus Energy and whittle away. I'm at Dewford Gym now with a level 8 Zubat and a level 23 Swellow. I'll just catch a Wingull at the route with the Rival battle before Mauvile.... Can't remember the name. Now my problem is..... Wattson. I suppose I'll Just raise my levels 'till I'm insane.

Sounds good. That should be your last big challenge if you're doing Emerald. If not, Steven could be a little tough, but by that point it'll be much easier to level.

Start time: 6:25
Went through all the beginning stuff. Not that hard. Picked up a Treecko and helped out Birch. Trained, fought rival, etc. (Nicknamed Treecko Jukain).... Wrote over state 1 by accident...No big loss I guess. (State 1 = Ground team). Got the running shoes and headed off to go watch Wally catch a pokemon. Time to hunt for a shroomish. Note, just after I typed this, I ran into one. I nicknamed her Kinococo and began to train her. :) Huh, what are the odds. Both Kinococo and Jukain are Bashful. Encountered a wild slakoth. Caught it to be a cut/strength/rock smash hm slave. Got to Rustboro and picked up Cut and the quick claw. I gave the quick claw to Kinococo and I taught cut to slakoth. Jukain evolved into a Grovyle. I beat all the trainers in Roxanne's gym easily before taking her on.
I beat Roxanne fairly easily. The only pokemon to put up a fight was Nosepass. A couple of megadrains and absorbed defeated him though. (Roxanne healed it twice which prolonged the battle.) Fought the Aqua admin and gave Peeko back to its owner. Got the letter to deliver and time for another Rival battle. Man, Torchic is hard to take down with two pure grass types. Anyway, beat her after a few tries and went on my way back to petalburg.
I went to dewford and began training there. I caught an abra to be a flash slave. Only took one try :D Kinococo evolved into Breloom, so I trained Jukain up some. When I got him to 23, I decided to take on Brawly.
Kinococo took them out easily with Headbutt. I taught flash to abra and delivered the letter to steven. You may notice I'm using Kinococo a lot for gym leaders. The reason? She's a slow leveler and they give good exp XD
Break: 8:27
Start time: 9:22
Cleaned out the museum and delivered the package. Rival battle was much easier with Kinococo. Trained and 1 hit KO'd Wally's Ralts with pursuit. Got Jukain up to 29 and realized there are no roselia in emerald.....Need time to think up a new member.
End time: 10:07

Watched Wally catch a Ralts… he really didn’t need me there at all ¬¬

Fought a trainer on the beach, he had a Lv8 Taillow – it nearly beat me! So I trained both Pokemon up to Lv10 (Merlin evolved to Dustox!) before continuing into the forest. When I got to Rustboro, I beat the two Gym trainers’ Geodude extravaganza, just kept using Bubble so it wasn’t hard. Then I took on Roxanne. Geodude survived one Bubble, and then killed LadyOfLake with a Rock Tomb attack! I had to send in Merlin and use Confusion, but it did hardly any damage. And I got owned by Rock Tomb again. Looks like I need to do some more training before I can win.

It turned out that I couldn’t beat her until LadyOfLake was Lv15 and Merlin was Lv14. It was still a tough match though; I was lucky that Merlin’s poison sting poisoned Nosepass. But I won my badge nevertheless!

Party:
Merlin (Dustox) – Lv14 – Tackle, Poison Sting, Confusion, Gust
LadyOfLake (Surskit) – Lv15 – Bubble, Quick Attack, Sweet Scent

Other Pokemon: Torchic, Silcoon, Silcoon, Lotad

Total Play Time: 2:54 (Yeah it is going slow – but the bugs I have right now aren’t exactly fast at sweeping)

Hmm, how did you get a Surskit this early? Anywho, Training some more, and more, and more. Wattson is going to be a pain.I know I can't take him on before level 30, likely level 35, but then I'll breeze through the rest to Fortree for sure. I just hope I make up my time.

Team: level 28 Golbat
Confuse Ray
Wing Attack
Bite
Leach Life

Level 27 Swellow
Double Team
Wing Attack
Focus Energy
Quick Attack

Anyone have any strategies for Wattson? I can't spam Double Team, as his Magenton will take me out with shock wave anyways. Also, should I get Endeavor, and if so, what should I get rid of?

Surskit is rare, on route 102 :)

Your Wattson situation seems pretty tough - I doubt you can win until about lvl 35 like you say. Confuse Ray is probably your best bet, with luck magneton should eventually kill itself.

Congratulations! I just got my Golbat to evolve at level 36. I also have a level 28 Swellow now. I can't wait until I get a Skarmory! What +/- should I look for?

Edit!!! I beat Wattson with quite a few Paralyze Heal and Super potions, but I did it! Wow.

Bleh....Decided to take ludicolo on as the last member. Remind me that I hate myself for this later. At least it makes flannery easier to take on. Luckily, my first encounter back at petalburg was a lotad. I savestated and nicknamed it Hasubrero (sounds a lot better than Runpappa). I checked its ability and it has Rain Dish. Exactly what I was looking for o_O Seeing as I am lucky right now, I trained it. I managed to get it to level 13 before leaving the route before petalburg. And I just realized it won't make the Flannery battle any easier. He doesn't learn hydro pump until 49. Yay. Hasubrero evolved into Lombre just outside of slateport where I continued my training. it's not easy only having bullet seed, nature power, absorb and astonish. Lalala....Got Hasubrero up to 21. Still 9 levels behind the other two. On a random unimportant note, I beat the guirtarist on the beach near mauville with nature power. It turned into earthquake :D
Ran out of trainers (including gym trainers) so I went back to training in the grass. Got both Jukain and Hasubrero to 30 and went to take on wattson. I 1 hit ko'd both his voltorb and his electrike, but his magneton paralyzed Kokodora and healed with a super potion. I defeated Manetric with three mach punches. Ack, loaded state and now I have to refight him @[email protected] Cleaned out Rusturf tunnel. Left for Fallabor, leaving the winstrates for either cradily or cacnea. I hate the ashy route. Is it just me or does it seem like the encounter rate is really high there? I eventually got the three flutes and continued on. (My pokemon are all level 36 because of how much time I had to spend there.) (Oh, and incase that doesn't make the logical connection, Jukain has evolved into Sceptile.) And I think I'm done for the now.
Status:
Hasubrero-Lombre-Gentle-36
Kinococo-Breloom-Bashful-36
Jukain-Sceptile-Bashful-36

Thanks. I was originally getting a Pelipper, but I'm replacing it with an Altiria, and I'll just use Mudkip/HMSlave

I've done a lot since my last post. I found a Skarmory, decided to catch a Swablu instead of a Wingull. Gave Skarmory the Exp. share and owned Maxie at Mt. Chimney. Owned Flannery with a few of Swellow's Attacks. Got the Go-Goggles, and went to challenge Dad. He was pretty easy. I got Sludge Bomb and taught it to Crobat. Blah Blah, saved just after beating Wiona. Currently searching for a Tropius.

Kinda stinks that there aren't any good water TMs early on though. However, Fire attacks will only be 1x instead of 2x against Lombre at least. Good luck everyone.
