All the Gym Leaders have been defeated, and luckily I defeated my rival, after a few tries. His Charizard was trickier than I thought it would be, considering I have a few rock types. They have low special defense though, so flamethrower defeated them. A critical hit Surf from Nidoking was necessary to my win. Now I'm outside Victory Road, ready to do it.

Team:
Nidoking Lv48
Thrash
Megahorn
Surf
Double Kick
Graveler Lv47
Rock Blast

Dugtrio Lv47

Rhydon Lv47

Onix Lv48

I'm so under leveled >_>

EDIT: I finished the Victory Road, and took one try at the E4, Lorelei completely destroyed me. I caught a Level 48 Onix in Victory Road, wont be very useful i would think, though. Edited the team above with the updates.

Firstly, teach Nidoking Ice Beam and Thunderbolt. Do you REALLY need Double kick and Thrash? NO!

Secondly, teach Graveller Exploshion. He beggs for it. Also, if you can, trade him.

Get Duggy Tri-Attack and EQ. You should only keep Dig and Areal Ace.

Marowak is OK... but if he doesn't have a Thick Club, then get him one.

If Rhydon has Rock Head, get him Double Edge. Also, level him up until he gets either EQ or Megahorn.

Onix should be left at that level for fodder.

TEACH SOMEONE ROCK SLIDE!

If I didn't specifically state a level for an attack, then get them up to AT LEAST 53. Won't take that long for ground types to level up in a cave of Rocks, right?

Buy tons of items, and enter at this point. Why?

-Nidoking can handle Lorelei with T-Bolt. If Duggy still has Dig, then use it when Cloyster is underwater to take it out with no damage.

-Dugtrio, Rhydon (if it has Rock head) and Graveller will take Bruno.

-EQ the Arbok, Rock Slide the others.

-Ice Beam and T-bolt ftw!

-Rslide Charizard and Pidgeyot, let Duggy ground out Eggy, Ice Beam his 'Don, T-bolt the Gyara, and use ANY physical attack on Zammy.

There! I played the game for you!

We'll see about that. If i't really is impossible that way, I'll just keep my pokemon and do the challenge the normal way. Gyarados is quite Bulky and isn't weak against grass. I'll put him in a box when battling Surge. I'm still searching for my Leafgreen game though...
No, dude, Charmageddon is right. It's the stupidest idea ever. Why did you even think of that? You've honestly played the game before without having ANY Pokemon faint?

I'll update my Bug challenge soon.

Actually, I did play the game without a fainted pokemon. I overlevel them a bit and use a lot of Hyper potions, but then I made it, while it wasn't really that hard. My pokemon first fainted in the pokemon league, where I couldn't release em. I just revived em there. For the rest, no pokemnon fainted, except for my HM slave.

Also, I'll just catch another Water pokemon when one faints.

btw, why don't you guys just lemme try it! XD
If I can't do it, I'll do the challenge without it, but at least, I'm gonna try.

You can do whatever you want, it's just that your idea is, well, slightly retarded. Remember, in Red, Blue and Yellow, there is no VS Seeker. You can't rechallenge any trainers in the game once they have been defeated, barring the Elite 4. If you had a level 50 Pokemon and it fainted, how are you gonna train up a new one on level 15 or so? Wild Pokemon? Yeah, good luck with that.

EDIT: Ah! You're using LeafGreen. Forget everything I just said then. I still think it's a bad idea though. Just seems like a stunt to make yourself look br00talz.

I'm sorry if it looked as if I wanted to look better than others, I just wanted to make my challenge a little harder, since monotype challenegs are kinda easy for me.

Order of games:
Leafgreen
Crystal
Ruby
Diamond

Progress:
Picked Squirtle as starter.
Beat Rival.
Did all the beginning stuff.
Trained Squirtle to level 14 so it learned Water Gun.
Beat Rival again.
Got trough Viridian forest without getting any damg. (I 1HKOed everything except those Metapod and Kakuna's)
Beat Brock's gym.
Went to Mt Moon.

Note: I didn't buy the Magikarp from the salesman, because there would be a high chance of Magikarp dying in training. Instead, I'm going to catch a level 20 Magikarp with the good rod and save a Rare Candy.

but if you catch a lv.20 karp, it can't learn bite, which can be really useful (ok, maybe not useful, but at least better than tackle, even with gyarados mediocre sp.a. stat)
i'd get magikarp from the salesman (with right nature of course), put in in daycare till lv. 19 and then use the candy. or do bait-n-switch, if i'd have the patience to train squirtle to Lv. 14 before the forest, i wouldnt bother about getting a gyarados before misty



it seems like i can't get my ds back soon enough, and because waiting sucks, i'll just do Sinnoh on a rom, i'll still be using pearl, platinum would be way to easy with magnezone and rotom and stuff

UPDATE: After a long, long time eternities i finally had completed that whole annoying and boring get-a-pokedex-and a-starter-thing and was finally able to catch a shinx. nature is bashful, that doesnt cut my main stats off, so i just took it, saves time (in the long run maybe not, but i cant change it now). forgot to nickname shinx and saved. Wait, that thing has rivalry, so i reload and...
...found one with intimidate and killed it with a crit,
caught one with intimidate and sassy nature, which makes it useless,
then there was a lot of bidoof and stuff,
another rivalry shinx (didnt catch this one)
and later finally a naive-natured shinx with intimidate

Team:
Pleeeeeaase / Shinx Lv. 3 <-- caught it with my last pokeball and didnt want to reset and i'm not really creative, so i called it please

Loads of progress made as usual. Apologies for the late update.

Journal:
-Defeated Erika and all her Grass type trainers, earning myself a Rainbow Badge. Obviously I had the advantage with my Bugs.
-Completely destroyed all the trainers on Route 13/14/15 and all the trainers on the Cycling Road, earning some major Exp.
-Decided to get Silph out the way, earning some more major Exp.
-Picked up Psychic from Mr. Psychic. Taught it to Butterfree.
-Went to Saffron Gym and creamed all the stupid Psychics and Sabrina with my Bugs. I had type advantage again. Earned myself a Marsh Badge.
-Totally forgot about Koga's Gym and rushed to Fushia city.
-Took on Koga and his trainers, earning myslef a Soul Badge. Yet again, I had an advantage since in Gen 1 Bug is super effective against Poison, and Vice Versa, funnily enough. I guess Koga had an advantage too.
-Taught Toxic to Venomoth.
-Flew back to Pallet Town to see Mom + Heal my Pokemon.
-Surfed down to Cinnabar island and battled some Water type trainers on the way, including the infamous Fisher with 6 Magikarp. Sooooo annoying.
-Arrived at Cinnabar to find the Gym door locked! Blaine misplaced the key. What a bastard!
-Battled the trainers in the Pokemon Mansion and picked up a load of items, including Solarbeam, which I then taught to Butterfree.
-Got the Secret Key.
-Purposely answered every question wrong for the Gym quiz to pick up all the Exp. I could. Caterpie definately doesn't evolve into Butterfree! I should know, I have one...
-Battled Blaine and lost first time round.
-Re-matched Blaine and won. Scyther rules!
-Healed Pokemon and saved outside Cinnabar's Pokemon Center.

Jokes Of The Day:
-"Juggler withdrew Drowzee, Juggler sent out Drowzee!" *Facepalm*
- Blaine: "Fire Blast is the best Fire type move! Don't waste it on a Water Pokemon." *Immense Facepalm*

My head hurts.....

Team:

Venomoth Level 40

Parasect Level 40

Butterfree Level 41

Pinsir Level 43

Scyther Level 45

Scyther is my pride and joy at the moment. Never fails to deliver, and has only fainted once.

damn, been busy so not gotten to update for awhile, which is a shame cause it makes irrelevant my qualms for so long about having only monferno(who I am still not evolving till he gets slack off) but, anyway
highlights:
-started platinum, picked chimchar as my first pokemon
-proceeded to beat the first gym after evolving chimchar
-beat the second gym after progressing that far, trained some more
-caught a ralts, levelled it some
-beat my 3rd gym
-progressed on, beat my 4th gym
-FINALLY picked up a dawn stone and caught a croagunk, and that is where I am

Croagunk (Bashful, Anticipation, Quick Claw)
Lv. 24 (caught in a heal ball for kicks)
-Pursuit
-Faint Attack
-Revenge
-Swagger

Gallade (Careful, Steadfast, Mind Plate)
Lv. 32 (I am very annoyed by that number, I found the dawn stone just after it hit 32 and missed out on getting psycho cut, and with the connect error platinum gets on emulators, my heart scale supply is small and precious)
