when you get to Red Gyarados, use it, becuase it can learn most of the HMs (everything but Cut and Fly if I'm not mistaken). You don't need any of the HMs that Togepi knows, (Headbutt and Rock Smash aren't needed, and they're not HMs) so you can really just replace Togepi with any Flying type.

*groan* I just killed Red Gyarados, thinking I wouldn't need it! Ah well, can normal Gyrados learn the HMs? If not, am I allowed three HM slaves?

Oh, and I have noticed that most other people have pictures of their progress. Is this required?

Yeah, any Gyarados can learn the HMs, I just mentioned Red Gyarados because he's an event Pokemon.

You are not required to post pictures. A lot of people choose to do that because they don't want to update with text, but its not required. For instance, some people actually use the real game, and taking screenshots is a lot harder to do.

Haven't updated yet, and I should've before now, but here it is:

Saved in Ecruteak City, Sneasel is Lv 33 (sharked it in ASAP) and I have a Krabby HM slave. Four badges. Sneasel knows Faint Attack, Fury Cutter, Fury Swipes, and Ice Punch. Yes, it is quite furious.

I'd post a pic but I'm too much of a n00b (15+ posts).

-Went through Victory Road, defeated Rival
-Arrived at Pokemon League
-taught Pikachu thunder (needed raw power to defeat some of elite 4 members' pokemon)

-Elite 4 - The following are highlights from my battle against the Elite 4

Vs. Will - few problems here. thunderbolt was effective against most of his pokemon. Ocassionally needed thunder when thunderbolt was inadequate.

Vs. Koga - Urgh! Muk's minimize was super annoying. Thunder kept on missing, so relied on thunder bolt which also missed a few times. Forretress was taken care of hidden power...never used explosion. Got confused from Venemoth's supersonic in both of my battles with Koga but never fainted.

vs. Bruno - Everything was going reasonably well until Bruno's Machamp. A couple of Thunders took care of most of his pokemon...hidden power for onix. Machamp's cross chop would OHKO Pikachu. Had to use several revives until I eventually ran out X_X and had to restart. During my second attempt, Machamp's cross chop luckily missed, and I was able to finally defeat Bruno.

vs. Karen - 2nd hardest battle. Umbreon wasn't easy to beat even with Thunder. Gengar cursed Pikachu and then Vileplume's petal dance KOed it. Used revive and defeated it using headbutt a few times. Houndoom's flamethrower KOed Pikachu again. *sigh* After another revive was wasted used, defeated Karen. Close call though.

Vs. Lance - This battle was the reason why I had been so reluctant in using my revives because I knew I was going to need as many as possible to defeat Lance. Gyarados, Aero, and Charizard were taken care of with thunderbolts. His Dragonite (3 of them!!!) were the main obstacles. Hyper beam KOed me. Using all of my revives were of no avail, so I had to restart (:disappoin). Second time around, I discovered that Pikachu could survive a hyper beam if he had full hp. After using several hyper potions and using thunder, I managed to defeat Lance! Ocassionally Thunder would miss, but Blizzard was weak against pikachu and outrage wasn't too bad.

That's all folks, and I'm sorry if this is too long and detailed for you.
-Off to Kanto in the SS Anne
