Edit: Just looked at the Ultimate solo challenge and i can see you're doing it. I was planning on doing it after this, Is it quite fun?
Haha I'm doing it out of pure boredom; it should be rather challenging, thrashing Fire Red with my Mawile now, but I think HGSS versions with Mawile is almost impossible - I guess Red's Pikachu would Outspeed me and Thunderbolt me to death with that goddamn Light Ball.

Claires Kingdra is so annoying >: (
Not when they don't resist Bugs :D Right Myzou?

Ghost: I haven't decided but prolly only a misdreavus egg or something. You guys decide here.
2 - Since you can't get anything other than Gastly evolutions before Safari Zone (correct me if I'm wrong).

Nyx lv 47
Steel Wing
Peck
Spikes
Night Slash

Steel lv 48
Thunder Fang
Crunch
Fire Fang
Ice Fang

Yin lv 47
Vacuum Wave
X-Scissor
Slash
Bullet Punch
No Earthquake on Steelix? lol
And Peck is lol.



Saturn the Sharpedo
Level 52
-Surf
-Ice Fang
-Crunch
-Strength

*The Elite 4 Hero! I couldn't have got passed Lance if it wasnt for him!, Thanks to Emoxy for recommending him to me ;) *

Wee Yin the Pupitar
Level 48
-Bite
-Dark Pulse
-Payback
-Earthquake
You're most welcome :) Sharpedo's a beast if used correctly :D I love hit-and-run dudes.

And I see that your Pupitar hasn't evolved hahaha.
HOW THE HECK DID YOU FINISH THE GAME IN 17 HOURS?! TOOK ME LIKE, 45. (10 went to Snubbull, 10 went to grinding, blah blah blah)

Holy crap!!! You beat the game up to the e4 in under 18 hours? I'm already over 40:(

I defeated Karen finally. I had to reset twice because of houndoom. I finally had to teach Steel earthquake just to get past houndoom. Anyway here is how the battle went after I taught Steel earthquake.
Earthquake ftw. :D

I see that you used a lot of Hyper Potions for Lance =P That's perfectly normal though hahaha I remember myself stalling him out in my Bug Challenge too.

Steelix's a beast against Lance's physical Dragonites - tanking Outrage and Dragon Rushes like mad :D

Name: Furret-Male
Type: Normal
Level: 18
Attacks: Quick Attack, Tackle, Fury Swipe, Growl

Name: Hoothoot
Type: Noraml/ Flying
Level: 15
Attacks: Peck, Hypnosis, Tackle, Foresight
I like your in-game name.

I used Furret too, till after the E4 >< dropped him. Me First is cool.

Haha sadly there aren't anymore good moves available for Skarm, except Drill Peck which must be bred. Try Aerial Ace?

Steelix is extremely powerful!!!

I have no Idea how I did it in 17 hours :P

It's maybe messed up because when I took the picture with my webcam everything was back to front and I had to put it on Photoshop and reverse the picture. I might not have reversed the time properly, It's maybe meant to read 32 hours 17 minutes. That seems more likely :P

Edit: Boarding the SS Anne now :)

Hey Ho, Kanto i´m coming

I stopped played before Lance and here´s how the fight went:

Lance sent out Gyarados. Go Bobby. Bobby used thunderpunch, Gyarados Trash, but missed. Again Thunderpunch and Gyarados fainted.

Lance sent out Charizard, i switched to Chops. Charizard used Air Slash(~60%), Chops used Rock Tomb for about ~99%. Lance used Fullrestore and Chops again Rock Tomb... Charizard was still alive so i used a hi potion...for next ten rounds it was Air Slash, HiPotion, Air Slash til Charizard misses. then Chops used Strength and Charizard fainted.

Lance sent out Aerodactyl. I switched to Bobby and used Sky Uppercut. Aerodactyl was faster and OHKOed Bobby with aerial ace(Crit). I sent in Delia and he used Aerial ace, Delia survived the hit (~55% Hp left) and used Blizzard, OHKO.
Lance sent out his first Dragonite, I kept Delia. Delia used Blizzard and to my Surprise Delia attacked first and landet a OHKO.

Lance sent out his next Dragonite (lv 50), I kept Delia. This Dragonite was faster and Outrage let Delia faint. Chops had no PP left for Rock Tomb, so i used Julie and then a Max Revive on Delia. Julie took two Outrages and fainted. I switched to Delia, she took an Outrage (~65% Damage) and counters with Blizzard. Dragonite was history.

Lance sent out his last Dragonite, kept Delia and used a HiPotion while Dragonite used ThunderWave. Delia took an Outrage and finishes Dragonite with a Blizzard off.

Delia is a real Beast it takes damages and then often kills her foes or is simply faster than the other Pokemon, I highly recommend Poliwrath to everyone who is doing a Water or Fighting Challenge.

My Team:

Delia the Poliwrath
lv. 51 / Quirky

Dig
Blizzard
Surf
Body Slam

Bobby the Hitmonchan
lv. 52 / Serious

Mega Punch
Thunder Punch
Sky Uppercut
Ice Punch



Julie the Heracross
lv. 51 / Timid

Brick Break
Close Combat
Shadow Claw
Aerial Ace

Chops the Machamp
lv. 51 / Bashful

Rock Tomb
Revenge
Cross Chop
Strength



Chad Lee the Blaziken
lv. 51 / Sassy

Blaze Kick
Double Kick
Shadow Claw
Brave Bird

Ok dudes, next update from Kanto, see ya.

Ej said that you can trade in eggs. Eevee also evolves into umbreon. Or if you don't want to do that you can always try a different type.
I'm using a ROM, so no trading, but I can get some PokeSav Eggs, roll some 31-sided dice for the IVs and hatch them. Is this alright?

GAME Pokémon HeartGold
TYPE Normal

→ STARTED THE GAME

Chose a female sprite and named myself Rzepka after Charles J. Rzepka, whose book Detective Fiction was central to my dissertation. Picked Totodile as my Starter as he's the best with HMs, and set off towards Mister Pokémon's house. I avoided all battles except for the Rival battle. I named my Rival Holmes, after Sherlock Holmes. I then had to close down my DS for the night because Sentrets only appear during the day-time, boo. (I did try catching one on my PokéWalker with a now-released Hoothoot, but I kept running into Pidgeys and Nidorans.)

→ CAUGHT THE FIRST NORMAL
I booted up this morning and immediately caught a Sentret after Ethan's catching tutorial. I named her Mossa, after Kell Mossa the Pariah from DC Comics. Did some grinding on Route 29, then set off for Violet City via Cherrygrove.

→ BELLSPROUT TOWER
Climbed to the top of Bellsprout Tower once I reached Violet City, defeated the Master and got TM70: Flash. Went down towards the Ruins of Alph to do some training before facing the gym. Oh Volkner, how I despise your Pidgeotto's strength.

CURRENT TEAM

SENTRET | Mossa | ♀ | Lv. 13
Quick Attack / Fury Swipes / Scratch / Defense Curl

How's your thirst for adventure, Captain?

Quick update.
• Entered Violet City.
• Met this weird guy who shouts 'Shard de Berry' and trades shards for berries.
• Generated a Stunky egg and a Carvanha egg. Rolled a bit low (around 13) in all of the Stunky's IVs, and rolled pretty good (around 23) for the Carvanha's IVs (except for Sp.Def., which was 4).
• Still exploring Violet city.

Just murdered Lt. Surge, XD Amazing how strong Gyro Ball from a Forretress is vs an Electrode, while said Forretress is paralyzed. One shot all his pokemon, even with it being Not Very Effective, lol. (EDIT: Except his last Electrode... had to use a Bug Bite to get him down to Half Health, as I missed the first shot of pokemon + Lt. Surge :P)

And Faustus, EJ clarified last page that eligible types (dark being one of them) can get 3 eggs, not 2. :) And if I can beat the elite 4 with an Ariados, Forretress, and Venomoth as my main 3, you can do it with 3. XD

I'll be posting a regular update either within the next few hours, or tomorrow. XD I'm still taking pics as I go. :P

EDIT: It depresses me how fast the Kanto Gyms are (together). -.-;

Sabrina is down. She killed Charlotte though :( Espeon moved before her, and BOOM Psychic kill. >_< On Erika now :3

EDIT2: Erika went down without a struggle, XD Amazing what Poison Jab, Megahorn, and X-Scissor can do. Considering replacing Roost with Giga Drain on Venomoth, or grinding until Strobe learns Zap Cannon to make Misty a bit easier...

Found out that I can only get most of the Dark-types after beating the Elite Four. How am I going to defeat the Elite Four with a Weavile and Tyranitar? Or how do I get the other Dark types?
Safari Zone. Or ask EJ for more eggs.

Delia is a real Beast it takes damages and then often kills her foes or is simply faster than the other Pokemon, I highly recommend Poliwrath to everyone who is doing a Water or Fighting Challenge.
I've been looking at Poliwrath for a while now and I think he's quite good. Can consider..

I'm using a ROM, so no trading, but I can get some PokeSav Eggs, roll some 31-sided dice for the IVs and hatch them. Is this alright?
What I did when I wanted to do the Dark challenge (but cancelled) was to catch wild Pokemon and turn them into eggs. =P If you change their level and level them up they will have the correct stats anyway.

Rolled a bit low (around 13) in all of the Stunky's IVs, and rolled pretty good (around 23) for the Carvanha's IVs (except for Sp.Def., which was 4)
Carvanha can't take any hits anyway =P

• Still exploring Violet city.
• Got lost, ended up in some Ruins instead of Sprout Tower. At least I know that Ekans are native to Johto. Ekans and Arbok are awesome.
• After a bit of wandering around, I finally found Sprout Tower and fought some Sprout Sages.
• Saw Naoya at the top of Sprout Tower, being arrogant as usual. I expected a battle D:
• Defeated the last Sage.
• Trained a bit and caught an Ekans. Named it 'Monty' and sent it to someone's PC.
• Went (O.O) at the rising platform in the Violet Gym.
• Defeated some pathetic trainers who used Spearow, Pidgey and Hoothoot.
• Defeated Falkner. I didn't expect him to have a Pidgeotto, but I remembered that even if he's the first Gym Leader, he's still a Gym Leader and probably has an evolved form of the Pokemon used by his trainees.
• Got the Egg from the scientist and a... Super Potion from mom?
• Met this girl who told me to take care of the egg.
• Explored the Ruins of Alph again, being the curious little kid that I am, and found the word 'ESCAPE' inscribed in Unown letters. Escape... Rope? I discovered a door and it contained some items.

I would have lost many battles without it, you only need a bit luck for finding a water Stone in the Contest the Pokethlon store

As I really don't feel like typing out a whole story for every gym battle... considering there's 6, lol, I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

If you liked Koga's matchups, you should see Janines LOL. And if you're wondering why my pokemon aren't leveling very fast: I'm skipping almost every trainer I can, and will go back and grind them when I get to red :P Will speed that up tremendously. To be honest, none of these really gave me any issues. Oddly, the one I had the advantage against, Sabrina, is the only one who fainted any of my pokemon, in which Espeon was faster than Charlotte, and OHKOed her with Psychic.

Normally, I'd spoiler tag all of these, but as there's barely any pictures on this page, I decided not to, :P

Vermillion - Lt. Surge:



Saffron - Sabrina:



Celadon - Erika:



Fuschia - Janine:



Cerulean - Misty:



Pewter - Brock:



Current Team:~



Charlotte the Ariados
Level 59
Psychic
Poison Jab
Sucker Punch
Shadow Sneak



Xena the Heracross
Level 59
Strength
Megahorn
Aerial Ace
Close Combat




Pinch the Pinsir
Level 59
Swords Dance
Guillotine
Superpower
X-Scissor



Spore the Venomoth
Level 59
Sludge Bomb
Bug Buzz
Psychic
Roost



Strobe the Forretress
Level 59
Double-Edge
Gyro Ball
Payback
Bug Bite


Still debating about replacing Roost for Giga Drain... Opinions? And if I end up doing this again with another type, it'd be normal, XD I'm aiming to use the underdogs... pokemon most people regard as useless. (People outside of this thread :P) So, I have Furret, Stantler, Girafarig, and Granbull planned right now... trying to decide on a fifth.
