I'm thinking about joining with a dark type team, but I just have one question before I do. If I restart my game, will my pokewalker loose all it routes? Or could i bring over a Corphish and/or Murkrow egg to start with?

-lot of fighting and Pinebomb training. Goldenrod city heck yes

Damn, this has happened twice already where I had a full detailed update typed, then it failed to post. :(

I'll do a really fast update then I suppose. :(

Basically I beat the 2nd Gym Leader and arrived in Goldenrod, currently grinding my Aipom to 21.

Team:



Docile/ Level 20

Fury Swipes
Headbutt
Tickle
Astonish


Impish/ Level 21

Sweet Kiss
Yawn
Extrasensory
Metronome




Careful/ Level 21

Mega Punch
Bite
Headbutt
Rock Tomb


Headbutt's a pretty good move, and Aipom's only good STAB move at the time is/was Scratch, so I thought it'd be good to teach him Headbutt as well :)

I'll make the change to stag, and jmd I'll update for you too. =]

I'm not sure about the routes, but you are free to bring in two eggs to start you off. On my current challenge, I picked sneasel and poochyena.
Wrex. Shepard. Wrex.

Alright, I'm ok with that. I'll just transfer all the important Pokemon over to platinum, cause i don't feel like catching them again in the play through and I'll start off with a Corphish and Murkrow eggs.

First log will probably be tomorrow.

Urp... Sorry for going too fast and not even registering before I began. -.-

No one's done this yet? Well, I'll do Mono-Fighting...
I've already got a start, if that's OK... It's not in the rules, and I couldn't get any Fighting types before Goldenrod that I know of, so I hope that doesn't affect anything.
(Restarting. I did break a rule.)


Register name thing (What my name is on first post?): Toxic Potato
Named myself MnoFht (:P What?)
Type: Mono-Fighting
Version: HeartGold

Progress - Restarting...
Used an in-game trade, which still counts as a trade. My bad.

Game restarted. Will update tomorrow.

Small update. Earliest fighter I can get that I know of is Heracross, so around Ilex Forest-ish.

Got a Poliwag on Route 31. Evolves into Water/Fighting after Poliwhirl, so it counts, right? Just has to be a Poliwhirl by end of the challenge?

Small update. Currently in Slowpoke Well with Pory the level 15 Poliwag. Gonna be hard since it's the only Pokemon I can use so far. :\ Time to stock up on potions.

In Azalea Gym. Not exactly looking forward to that Scyther... Pory is currently level 17. Interesting sidenote: The twins in the Gym will not battle you if you have only one Pokemon.
Scyther is obliterating me every time...
Ugh. This Scyther is immensely difficult... Grinding time.

Will continue updating later today.

  • Well, after downloading more than seven gigabytes worth of Video Game Soundtracks, my thirst for OSTs has been quenched… For now at least. And yes, I did get the HeartGold & SoulSilver OST.
  • With the Pokeathlon refusing to sell me any Shiny Stones, I’m going to get my ass back on the open road. I was heading back to Goldenrod City to see if I could borrow someone’s water bucket and dump it on a Pokémon. Maybe I should get a fire-truck… Heh, vroom.
  • Conveniently, there was a Flower Shop right next to the Gym. I wonder if they'd be willing to sell me some weed... I mean a watering can! Yeah... watering can... Good, relaxing watering can...
  • I talked to the girl in the Flower Shop and, apparently, because I have the Plain Badge, I can handle a SquirtBottle. Are you freakin’ kidding me? So what; if I didn’t have the Plain Badge, I’m incapable of using a damned water bottle? Is that what you’re trying to tell me?!
  • Sprayed the stupid not-tree with the SquirtBottle, which really pissed it off. It attacked me, and I killed it in the name of science.
  • Got one of the best Key Items that Nintendo has ever created, the Berry Pots. That’s right; I can carry my berries with me now. No more flying to random cities, then tracking down your berries! Just open your bag, take your berries, and plant some new ones.
  • Found a Stantler in the wild, but Stantler is inferior to Tauros in every way, but learning Hypnosis (which is a 60% accuracy move now, hence, it sucks), and having Intimidate. Killed it for science.
  • Finally reached Ecruteak City, after taking on an annoying Wigglytuff and Clefable duo. Spoke with Bill, a Pokémon Scientist, or something. He said something about Hoenn, then left. Whatever dude. I just want my Tauros.
  • Got a call from Beverly, talking about how she thought she saw a Marill, but it was really a Weedle. How do you screw that one up? I mean, Marill’s blue for Christ’s sake!
  • Entered the Ecruteak Gym, only for an old man to kick me out and call me a ‘ho ho ho’. That old bastard.
  • Got a call from Anthony, telling me that he ate some berries. You see, this is exactly why I don’t give my phone number out to people! They call me for trivial crap that I don’t give a **** about, and then expect me to care. Instead of going to the Burned Tower, I went to the Dance Theater.
  • LOL, Rocket Grunt wants a hula dance. I, personally, want a lap-dance, but not everyone gets what they want. Then, to top it off, the dipstick starts dancing on stage. I think, for the Rocket Exam (if they have one), they need to have a box that says ‘Check if you are below the IQ level for complete idiot’.
  • Some chump says that he has a ‘stomachache’ otherwise he would ‘do something’. Yeah, keep telling yourself that, coward. Now I’ve gotta play the big goddamn hero and save the damsel in distress. Curse my conscience!
  • The Grunt’s Koffing was no match for Togetic’s Extrasensory attack. OHKO.
  • Apparently, there’s a lower rank than Team Rocket Grunt. Rocket Toilet-Cleaner? Rocket Hobo? Rocket… Actually, I’ve got nothing. What the hell is lower than Grunt? Being fired? Actually, being fired from Team Rocket is kind of sad. It makes you realize that you sucked so badly that even the Rocket’s didn’t want you, even when they get their asses handed to them by ten-year-old children. Kind of sad, when you think about it.
  • Got a call from Walt… about Nidoran… I’m never picking up my damned PokéGear again, unless Mom is calling. To hell with everyone else. Maybe they’ll think I died, and leave me alone.
  • Just as a note, Devil May Cry 3 has one of the best Soundtracks (or OSTs, depending on how you see it) ever. Devils Never Cry is one of my favorite songs, and listening to it while kicking Pokémon ass just doubles the experience.
  • Got HM 03, Surf, for playing the hero. No one on my entire team can learn it, and make decent use of it. That kind of sucks, but I guess Totodile will have to take over for that.
  • Okay, just walking into the Burned Tower, I can see Entei, Suicune, and Raikou. Are you telling me that no one has seen or captured them yet, but they’re hiding in plain sight? Some guy named Eusine is looking for Suicune. Hey genius, here’s a tip for you; look down the giant gaping hole in the floor!
  • Okay, so he does know that Suicune is down there, but doesn’t go down there because it’ll run away. Doesn’t make him any less of a dumbass though.
  • Found Mr. *******, aka, Silver. Hey, why’s your name ‘Silver’, when your hair’s red? Oh, that’s right, because someone already has the name Red and, unlike you, he doesn’t completely fail at battling. GG Silver.
  • OHKO’d Silver’s entire team with Togetic’s Fire Blast and Extrasensory. After the battle, I got a call from Mother, telling me she bought me something. I swear, so help me God, if it’s more berries…
  • Okay, Raikou and Entei ran out pretty easily and smartly, running off in directions that I can’t easily follow. What does Suicune do? Run up to me and roar, as if it’s going to scare me. That bastard’s lucky I don’t have my Master Ball, or he’d be singing a different story. Also, before its ‘grand escape’, it ran in a circle… twice. Wow. Just wow.
  • Only is it after I leave the Burned Tower do I realize that I lack a Bicycle… ****!
  • Trekked back to Goldenrod City, to get me a Bicycle. And, while I’m on that Route, I might as well check to see if the Pokeathlon is giving out Shiny Stones yet.
  • Bastards still refuse to sell me a Shiny Stone. Damn them to hell.
  • Got me a free Bicycle. Back to Ecruteak we go!
  • Back to Ecruteak I went.
  • I’ve gotta say, personally, I hate the way the Ecruteak Gym was redesigned. I liked it when I seemed to just walk on air, and taking the wrong step dropped me back to the front. Now though, you just walk along the platforms. Worst redesign I’ve seen so far. All I had to do was disable my Running Shoes to make sure that I didn’t accidentally run off the edge. Other than that, it was pathetically easy.
  • Got distracted while listening to the Ocarina of Rhyme and Super Mash Bros. Those mother****ers can kick some serious musical ass.
  • Beat down Medium ass, then tracked down Morty. The fight is on!
  • Oh, for ****’s sake! ****ing ROM just had to go for a Trainer Loop when I started my battle with Morty. Worst part is, I didn’t SAVE for a while… Not even before facing Morty. I swear, so help me God… If this crap happens again, I’m going to get my knife.
  • Stayed in the Burned Tower and destroyed defenseless Pokémon, because they deserved it.
  • Caught a Miltank in an Ultra Ball on the Route adjacent to Ecruteak City. Also, I caught a Meowth, and a Tauros on this Route, as well as a Raticate. Not a bad haul today, even if the stupid ROM crashed on me. Now, to Level-Grind. I’ve gotta say though Togetic has got to be one of my best Pokémon that assists during the capture. Its use of Yawn is great, and it allows me to (so far) always catch the Pokémon with an Ultra Ball the next turn. I plan on keeping a diverse team of Normal-type Pokémon, swapping out a few of them on occasion to give others some time to shine. At the moment, I’m swapping out Fearow and Furret for Meowth and Tauros. And, in case you’re wondering, that last slot belongs to the Pokémon that I aim to capture soon, Teddiursa.
  • Went back to the Ecruteak Gym, vengeance on my mind. Morty shall pay for freezing my game earlier, and my Level 30 Tauros is just the Pokémon to do it. I think my Level 30 Scrappy-empoweredMiltank would also have something to say, as does my Technician, Bite attack Persian. You see Morty, if you had just let me kicked your ass before; you wouldn’t have had to worry about all these Pokémon, out for your blood.
  • Well, after looking over my Pokémon, I realized that Ambipom does not have Technician as its ability. Not a huge loss there, seeing as I’ve got Persian to take care of that, but still a bit depressing. I blame Morty for all of this. Speaking of Ambipom, I taught her U-turn, since I figured that it could be a useful weapon against Psychic-types. Such a shame that there’s no Shadow Claw TM in this game… Also taught Persian Dig to help it defeat Rock-types.
  • Made it to Morty after kicking some Medium ass, and saved before facing him this time. I’d be a fool if I didn’t learn from my mistakes.
  • Tauros alone slaughtered Morty’s entire squad. The only Pokémon that managed a single attack was his Gengar, which wasted his life using Mean Look. Morty should LRN2HPFIGHTING.

  • Did some heavy-duty grinding, saved my game, and called it quits for the day.

Update, day 2 of my Mono-Fighting playthrough.

FINALLY beat Bugsy after numerous hours of level grinding. Pory is now level 24. 1 more till it evolves.
Beat the Rival and completed the Farfetch'd puzzle they set up.
Time to search for a Heracross.
Current team:
Pory the Poliwhirl - Level 25
Body Slam
Rain Dance
Hypnosis
Bubblebeam

Steve the Heracross - Level 9
Focus Blast
Cut
Horn Attack
Endure


Pory evolved while fighting Youngster Samuel. Nice!
Now to stop slacking! Off to Route 33 in search of a Heracross!

...ARGH. Got a level 4 Heracross... I swear this game hates me or something. Couldn't think of a nice name so I named him Steve.
Not sure whether I must teach an HM to a Pokemon that can learn it or not. If I have a team Pokemon that can learn a certain HM, can I teach it to an HM slave instead?

Where in the world do I get a Water Stone? I must get one to evolve Pory. D:
"Come first in National Park Bug Catching contest or Pokegear phonecall from a trainer on Route 42." Well, Route 42 is the location of Mankey... So I guess that's my next stop! ...Well, after I fight Whitney... But... I don't have any fighting moves to speak of... This is going to take awhile... Especially with Steve still only at level 6.

All is well! Purchased a Focus Blast TM from the convenient Goldenrod Department Store, and taught that to Steve! Time for some training.

Well, almost at Whitney. With Pory incredibly overlevelled, this shouldn't prove to be too hard...

Gonna slow down the updating for now. Not 100% sure if I'll update again today. I'll probably be substantially further in the game by then. (Substantially further = Ecruteak City. :P)

Yeah, probably not updating again for awhile. Will update with any (previously) important events once I start updating again.
(Lied for a second there.) Just something I thought I'd say before retiring the forums for today/a bit of today. Lyra lied to me. Her Marill did not evolve. D:

Argh, can't handle not updating.
Team:

Pory the Poliwhirl - Level 26
Body Slam
Rain Dance
Hypnosis
Bubblebeam

Steve the Heracross - Level 14
Focus Blast
Cut
Horn Attack
Aerial Ace

Haven't taken on Whitney quite yet... Want to get Steve to at least level 20 first.

Failing at Whitney too. :P Gonna stop updating for today. Will be back tomorrow after I've made more progress.

Lied... Again. In Ecruteak City. This is - for real - the last update for today. Will be a bit farther by the time I update tomorrow.

Well, Today I woke up and saw an old guy in front of me. It was kind of freaky, because I had no idea how he got in my house...Anyway, I told him that I was a boy, and I told him my name, gold. He gave me a bit of a pep talk, told me about unfolding adventure. blah.blah.blah.

I then came out of my room and spoke with my mom, only to find out that i had to do a chore for elm. blah~

I received my toto (So my rival's starter will be grass) and named it HMslave01. It followed behind me and i ignored it for the most part. I began to go north, in the direction of mr. p's place. On the way there I ran into a weedle. it seemed to want to join me, and I felt bad that i dudn't have any pokeballs. I told him that I'd be back, soon.

When i got to mr. pokemon's house, he gave me an egg, and oak gave me a pokedex. whoo! As i left the house, i was called by a frantic Elm. Apparently he needed me right away. I ran back to Cherrygrove and was intercepted by a red-haired boy. I defeated him with ease, and stole his trainer card, chuckling slightly. He realized that i had taken it and panicked, for I knew his name...

When I got back to Elm's place, a police officer was there, and he rudely accused me of being the thief. Right as I was about to blow up on him, Lyra came in and began yelling at him and defending me. Yep, she wants me. I tell them the perp's name, Silver. I then decide to leave and go on my adventure. I tell my mom to save my money, and I tell her that if she spends ANY of it, I'll be really pissed. I leave, but not before lyra shows me a bit on catching pokemon.

I head past cherrywood, and my little weedle is there, just waiting to be caught, but not without a fun battle first! I catch him with ease, and take him back to the pc to heal. I stuck my toto in a box, and decided that it was time to train. I grinded my weedle to level 5, and then went to catch a bellsprout. After watching Little Shop Of Horrors last week, I decided to name it Audrey. I took it to the nearby cave and killed some geodudes, and catching a zubat as well. I meant to name him Drac, but I forgot to. I'll fix that in goldenrod. I then proceeded to take my team of solid 5s to the sprout tower. I slaughtered all of the trainer's pokemon that lived there. I got up to the top floor and was defeated by the first person up there...I needed more training.

I went to the area south of Violet and ran into an Ekans. SCORE! It also has a Docile nature. DOUBLE SCORE! I trained it to level six, and went back to the sprout tower. yay! I defeated everyone there with ease, leveling my pokemon to 7 and 8. I ran to the gym leader falkner, and fought him 3 times before i finally defeated him. ugh I think that i'm taking a break here, It's been a long day...Also, Weedle evolved!

Hey guys! its been a while without any update, school is kinda driving me crazy.

==================================================
The jist of it :: I have just kicked Red buttom with my Yui/Dragonite/80
I have finished my challenged, but i have not documented it.. im even doing a story for it XD

Here is what i got so far

==================================================

With a gym badge under my belt Yui and I proceeded to the next gym location, Azalea and the bug-type gym. We stop to catch our breath at the Pokemon Center located before the Union Cave. After talking and battling a few trainers we went through the cave, with our fire spirits high and with new abilities to match.
It was raining when we got out of the cave, I decided to take Yui to the nearest Pokemon Center and wait for the rain to cease. In the center we once again talked to the trainers and some old folks who got me filled in some rumors. It seemed the Team Rocket was causing trouble at a well.
Yui seemed to get a bit melancholic while we look outside the Center’s window. I took the small pokemon an put it on my lap as I sat near the entrance. It was nice with the sound of the rain outside and the warmth of Yui… I fell asleep.
I felt something pulling me off my shirt and woke up to find Yui trying to say something and murmurs in the Pokemon Center about old man Kurt running to beat the Team Rocket. It seemed Yui wanted to help so I got my things and we followed the trail to the well…
Hours later I found myself in Kurt’s house, soaked wet and having a good laugh. Those grunts were no match for us, specially no match for Kurt. For my help in the matter, Kurt offered a cup of hot coffe and his service as a pokeball maker.
After spending the night in Kurt’s, I decided to take on the bug-type gym. The normal trainers were no match for Yui’s new technique, but things changed when we got to the leader. The fight started with my Yui versus a Syther from Bugsy. He used a technique called U-Turn, which critically wounded Yui and switch back to a Kakuna. I believed we could survive the fight after defeating Kakuna since they don’t attack, but to my surprised the Kakuna hopped and used tackle… we got defeated. We got to the conclusion it was bad luck and tried it again. Using the same tactics they won another round. Now we were mad, we got some potions and medicines to help us throughout the battle… Syther used Leer, U-Turn and with one shot he defeated us once again…
We noticed that his Syther was far more powerfull than us, but we were not giving up! We spent the following day training like there was no ending to it. I bet we cause a bit of chaos to the wilderness in the outskirts of the city. We now had power and speed to match up to Bugsy!
We went again and there was no holding back. Syther used UTurn and switched back, but we survived, the rest of the pokemons were no match for us, but we went versus Syther again, the real battle. Bugsy noticed the gap in strengths was thin, and he started Leer’ing us. I knew the end was near, and that we coul lose again in the next hit. Neither I nor Yui wanted to lose this time around so we charged full speed towards them. As we were going to make our finishing blow, Bugsy decided to halt us with quick attack…

With a new badge with us, Yui the two eggs and me decided to take on the next challenge! We followed the west route towards Goldenrod, battling trainers along the way and meeting the Day-Care folks, pretty nice people. One thing I found odd was this Kimono girl lost in the Ilex Forest, it’s the second time ive seen one…
Now into Goldenrod, I went in the Pokemon Center and rested for a while, thinking about the fight with Bugsy and how will the following gym will turn out.
After going to the Radio Station and picking a new radio card I went to the Gym, which turn out to be a walk in the park…

When the fight ended the Leader started to cry, after that o felt a rumbling on my back which turned to be another of my egg hatchin. The crying suddenly stop by the sounds of one cute little cloud-bird. While Witney holded and giggle at his cuteness I pulled out my PokeDex to check it out, it was Swablu: a bird pokemon that would later evolve into a dragon. Mugi, as the leader started calling my Swablu, came hopping to me with what seemed to be a smile on his face. It looked like the ours spent walking already made a bond between us.
With Witneys comment about training Miu as soon as possible, I went out the road to the next Gym battle, Ecruteak City
On our way to the city I started using Mugi for some battles. That turned out not so well because of the diference of experience of the pokemons I was facing. We decided to go back to the first strategy, taking things one step at a time. After a few hours, I could clearly see some improvement in Mugi, and even more inprovment in Yui, who seemed to enjoy every bit of mentoring.
Without noticing I was already falling asleep at the park. Yui and Mugi noticed it and went close to me to take a nap; I took the remaining egg and placed it on my lap as I sat. I think it was just dreams but I could swear I hear Yui and Mugi speaking to me, it was not English, but I understood… Then I heard that same melodic voice, it sounded happier than the first night, like she felt proud of my success… Then I hear another voice and I woke up to found who it was. There was a Bagon on my lap intead of the egg! The last one hatched… I named her Ritsu
After the not so needed introduction to the rest of the team I noticed how Yui wanted to go back to Goldenrod. It was like we left something unattended. Following that hunch and back in Goldenrod, I let Yui take the lead and directed me where he wanted to go... It saddened me what I found out. It seemed the Casino was offering pokemons as a price for wining… and one of those prices was a female Dratini! Yui and I put up our gaming bandana and decided to free her out of there, the official way… gambling…
It was four days later and I walked out of Goldenrod with four Pokemon in my team, a gym to challenge and a lot of training to do!

My Team:
Yui/ Dratinin/ 25
Mugi/ Swablu/ 15
Ritsu/ Bagon/ 10

Days to get the second Dratini ( 3 )
I thought that my worst enemy was that Syther with U-turn… but that was until I met Morty, his Gengar and Shadow Ball. After a few tries at his gym me and my team decided to go for some serious training. I specifically wanted all of them to have the same level of experience. I don’t want any member of my team to feel lower than the rest. Keeping them the same level turned out to be a difficult task, especially with Yui who wanted to keep going at all times. On the other hand the most problematic was Mugi, that was not a dragon yet and that kept her at a disadvantage from the rest.
After a day full of training we head out to the dance theater to watch the Kimono girls. To our surprise there was a Team Rocket member harassing her. We decided to stop him! The thing is most of my team was pretty weak from all that training and couldn’t hold a single battle. At the end it was just Yui and me, like the first time. We handled the situation swiftly and to the surprise of all we all witnessed a pokemon evolution, a first for me. Now I have a beautifull and wonderful Dragonair in my arsenal, not to mention a friend larger than myself!
Is it enough to say that Morty’s Gengar was no match!?
Team:
Yui/Dragonair : 30
Mugi/ Swablu: 27

Badges (4/8)








Did I mention I do not recall where I got the HM Surf? Now with the new badge I have access to it, we decided to go to the next gym in Olivine because there I can try it out!
A lot happened, we trained, got some more evolutions, surfed like there is no tomorrow, help save an Ampharos and won two new badges like it was nothing… it happened so fast I don’t recall much details of it!
Team:
Yui/Dragonair : 32
Mugi/ Swablu: 30
Ritsu/ Shelgon: 30
Azunyan/Dratini: 25

Badges (6/8)

Now the good stuff happens. In Olivine city they tell me about a gym in Mahogany that will prove a challenge for me: the Ice Gym, my worst nightmare. I decided to go and watch the Lake of Rage on the way, new places to surf!
I noticed my radio was acting strange as I approached the place, but it started getting weird with the behavior of the townsfolk, something seemed to be fake. I ran to the Lake in a hunch to encounter what seemed to be fate, another Dragon Tamer. Why I knew that (besides the part with the Dragonite by his side)? I don’t know. I approached him with my Yui following me. He acknowledge my presence and smiles like he was up to something. He knew my name, and I think I knew his before he told me… Lance explained that some radio signal was making the pokemon evolve forcefully and I decided to help stopping that!
A few hours later and we tore the place apart. I knew that sometimes I was a handful to Team Rocket… but I guess to Dragon Tamers was not good for them…

Legendarian Mistress is allowed to in-game trade for the Onix.

Umm, Legendarian Mistress, I don't remember being allowed to trade... I don't think in-game trades are allowed. :l
I don't remember NOT BEING allowed to in-game trade.

Rule #5 refers to trading between two games for things such as trading over a lvl 56 metagross or something of the sort just because it makes your steel challenge easier. Nah, don't think so homie.

._. Oh, in that case, cool. (Didn't exactly know what you meant by no trading in the first post. That's the only reason I brought it up.) Now I have another Fighting-type to get. :D

Oh wait, does that mean I can have a friend trade me some random Pokemon with an Evolutionary item, then I trade that Pokemon back? Or is that not included?

--On topic.
