POKEMON UU CHALLENGE
I haven't seen any challenges like this out there, so I decided to make one. It will span two regions (kanto and johto) and should require a little more strategy than normal playthrough would.

RULES
1. The challenge will start in R/B/Y and ends when you beat Red in G/S/C. When you change games you don't carry over any team members, and you can use completely different pokemon if you want.

2. This is a UU challenge. That means only pokemon in the underused tier are allowed. Go to http://www.smogon.com/rb/pokemon/ to see all of the allowed pokemon. When you switch to G/S/C, look at the G/S tier list. Also, if one pokemon is banned (not in UU tier) then that whole pokemon family is banned. (e.g. golem is OU, so golem, graveler, and geodude are banned from this challenge.) Also, you don't have to start with an UU starter, just don't use it in battle outside the first rival battle.

3. HM slaves are allowed, including Mew. Outside of the mew glitch in R/B/Y, no gamesharking, glitching, etc allowed.

4. Trading is only allowed for evolutionary purposes.

5. Emulators are fine to use if you lost/don't like using the cartridges.

6. Try to update regularly. Make sure to update when you've completed one of the regions so I can show that.

7. To sign up, just give your username and what version you want to use.

Wtf, I think for GSC, it's messed up. They have for Under used Gyrados, everyone uses him. And they have Typhosion, Magmar, and Arcanine. 3 commonly used fire types.
they might be commonly used, but a big part of the tier system is their stats and movepools, and most of the UU pokemon (especially gyarados) dont have good enough stats to make them successful competitively.
Also, this is meant to be a challenge for generation I and II only, not IV

Anyway, its update time

-started with pikachu, but ditched it one i caught a pidgey and mankey
-skipped the optional rival battle in viridian (hopefully he wont have jolteon now)
-beat brock and went through mt. moon
-caught an oddish, beat misty
-caught jigglypuff and cleared out the S. S. ANNE
now i'm gonna go get team member number 5 before i challenge lt. surge

TEAM
- lv. 23
-quick attack
-sand attack
-gust
-whirlwind

- lv. 23
-absorb
-poisonpowder
-stun spore
-sleep powder

- lv. 21
-sing
-mega punch
-water gun
-defense curl

- lv. 26

I've got a question:

Looking at the link, Raichu seems to be in the 'BL' section for 'RBY'. But in the 'GSC' section, it says that it's a 'UU' instead. And I don't see Pikachu in that list at all ;/.

Would that mean that if I did this challange in my Yellow file, I can't start with Pikachu because Raichu is a 'BL' in RBY?

Did stuff and arrived at Rock Tunnel. Caught a Machop, it yet has to be nicknamed. Oh, and i skipped Surge, since both my teammembers I had at that time are weak to Electric.

Team:

Fatty / Wartortle Lv.30
- Bite
- Dig
- Seismic Toss
-
Bubblebeam
BBeam for most stuff, Dig for Electrics and the common Poisons, Bite is filler (I chose Bite over Mega Punch which was before on this slot because of its better accuracy.) Seismic Toss against stuff that walls Fatty, I have yet to meet something like that, but I'm sure I will, since this isn't really an offensive Pokemon.

Fearow / Fearow Lv.31
- Peck
- Growl
- Leer
- Fury Attack

Yes, I know this moveset is horrible, but what should I give it otherwise? Whirlwind? Mirror Move? No.

Machop / Machop Lv.17
- Karate Chop
- Body Slam
- /
- /

I just caught it and saved then, so I can't say anything yet.
Except that it annoys me that Karate Chop is normal, it means I have to go with either Low Kick or Submission instead as STAB move... Suggestions which one would be better?


Cut Slave is a Lv.13 Oddish which is going to be replaced by a Krabby soon.

We should do this spawning from r/b/y-g/s/c-r/s/e but not d/p/pt because 1)they suck and 2)You can't get them on vba and no$gba is hard to work.

Anyway, I'll do:
Blue-Silver-Sapphire

You know, cuz I'm gon'na do the third generation anyway.

End, Zack.

I've decided that I'll update every day, seeing as it's winter break and I have plenty of free time.

I'm at Rock Tunnel. I have some pretty good pokémon and three badges.
Pics!!

Me outside Rock Tunnel. I went in and trained alot but came out to heal my Pokémon.

The Voltorb is an HM slave for flash and I also have a Bellsprout for cut.

Raticate is probably my best Pokémon. He has a pretty weird moveset but I like that ;)

Everyone else was picking Wartortle so I did too XD. I like his moveset good, but it needs improving.

Pretty good, it'll be a Pidgeot soon. Moveset needs work.

I'm not sure if Goldbat is a UU so if not, tell me. His moveset is awesome.

Butterfree is good. Pretty good moveset, I think.

I started at 3:00 PM about so tomorrow I'll probably beat Blue and start Silver, then the next day I'll have Silver finished in a heartbeat because I've played through it well over 50 times, maybe even 75, and Blue is probably just a few short of that.

UPDATE!

I played a bit and I thought it would be a good moment to show off what I did so far!^^

Okay, i have done so far...

-Received starter (squirtle)
-Caught a Ratata
-Beat up the rival (Itachi!^^) four times
-Went through Viridian Forest
-Owned Brock
-kicked some Rocket Butt at Mt.Moon
-Squirtle evolved
-Defeated Misty
-Ratata evolved
-Joined the triners at M.S. Anne
-Owned L.T. Surge and taught Raticate Thunderbolt

My team (screenshot in german, but I'll translate it!^^):

Raticate lv.30

-Bubblebeam
-Focus Energy
-Thunderbolt
-Hyper Fang

I'm quite proud of that moveset cuz Raticate can handle almost every opponent!^^ I think it's the strongest Pokemon in my team. Thx to the advice of Mondays suck, I think I'll replace Focus Energy with Strengh or Ice Beam!^^

Wartortle Lv.30

-Mega Punch
-Tail Whip
-Dig
-Water Gun

Hmm, it's my secound fighter and the moveset is okay, but not perfect. It would be with Surf instead of water gun and Ice Beam instead of Tail Whip but it's quite okay!^^ Most of the opponents I own with Mega Punch.

Oddish Lv.16

-Absorb
-Poisonpowder
-Cut

well, what can I say 'bout it? It's my Cut slave and probably my Flash, too but if I recall, you don't really need Flash in Red to see the Rock Tunnel well...

I hope I'll do it to Rock Tunnel today!^^ And I planned to put Eevee and Tangela in my team but I'm not completly sure about Tangela. Hmmm... We'll see!^^

Aaah, these screenshots remind me of the good old days when I was playing RB in german...
Energiefokus is called Focus Energy in English btw, not Energy Focus, and I advise to remove it, its glitched in RBY and lowers the crit ratio instead of raising it.

No, I made no real mentionable progress today yet, I'm still in Rock Tunnel...

I finished Blue 4 hours before I was supposed to!! Here are the pics.


I beat the Elite Four. The play time is incorrect, it was more like 36 hours.


My finishing team. Ultraslave is a Mew HM slave. I used all my Rare Candies on him because they're horrible for the stats.


Randall, my Blastoise. Awesome moveset, he can take down anyone.


Skynyrd, my Pidgeot. I only really use Wing Attack and Fly with him.


Bauer, my Raticate. He can take down anyone. He still has some damn strange moves, but I still like that.


Corpse, my Butterfree. I've never actually used Solarbeam, it's kind of just.... There. I like his moveset, he's good for battling most Pokémon.


Spears, my Goldbat. I only use Wing Attack and Bite with him. I'll occasionally use Confuse Ray, though.


UltraSlave, my Mew. He's an HM slave. I use all my Rare Candies on hm because they're bad for stats.

Put me on for Silver!!

Update time!!


I'm in Goldenrod, haven't challenged Whitney yet.


My party. I was supposed to name Sentret but accidentally didn't. I haven't needed any HM slaves yet, hopefully I never will.


Sentret, horrible moveset. He was with the daycare for a lttle, just so I'd have space for a Ditto to put in the daycare because I always do that once I get to Goldenrod.


Bauer, Moveset will change, but for now he's good. I just need some TMs, I'm earning money for the supermart.


Randall, I'm waiting until he learns some good attacks because I know he does (Typhlosion is my favorite Pokémon ever).


Skynyrd, not done training him so no comments for now.


Erhart, see Skynyrd.


Luna, See Skynyrd.
