*Will Be Using Gameshark To Obtain Solrock
Use Hackmew's A-Starter. It's easier and takes less time.

On the challenge:
-Got Anorith and named it Shrimpeh for obvious reasons
-Grind till level 6, nearly get killed twice by Wingulls
-Beaten May!

No problem.
Also, just found out that training "Fossil" Pokemon is damn hard.
Yeah, Fossil Pokemon do Level up Slow at the beginning of their training but once they're higher leveled (40/50+) they level up MUCH faster because they have a Base Exp of 600,000 (The fastest in the game)

Quick warning to everyone, because I discovered this earlier: if you're doing a run through FRLG and you're using a pokemon that's not in the kanto pokedex, it won't evolve. So you'll have to find a way around that.
That's sad. Thank god I'm using Emerald.

Reminder:
-You forgot to update the first post

Questions:
-Can we catch any Pokes to be used later after we finished this challenge?
-Can we use Gameshark to obtain Linoone and Wailmer?

First update:
Named self Qwil (Qwilfish doesn't fit in), did stuff, chose Qwilfish as starter (using A-Starter), defeated Poochyena, named Qwilfish Spikester, did stuff, got to Rustboro, went to the gym, gosh, that gym was hard without Water Gun. I used a strategy comprising all my moves. Here it is: Firstly use Minimize 6 times so I don't get hurt much, set up 3 layers of Spikes so the next pokemon gets hurt, Poison Sting until it gets Poisoned (or gets Poisoned by Poison Point) and Tackle it until it faints. That strategy helped me defeat the gym. I defeated the Aqua grunt in Rusturf Tunnel and now am standing outside of Rusturf Tunnel.

Team:

Spikester/Qwilfish f.
Level 16
Poison Point
Lonely Nature

~ Spikes
~ Poison Sting
~ Tackle
~ Minimize.

Even if I used FRLG, I didn't had to worry about the evolution thingy because hey, Qwilfish doesn't evolve :P

I progressed more in my Qwilfish run and I have defeated Brawly. Easy with Water Gun. I proceded to Slateport where I defeated many Tubers and Sailors before defeating 2 Aqua Grunts. I defeated May and went to Mauville. Defeated all the trainers in the gym. Wattson is kicking my ass with Shock Wave atm. I'll defeat all the trainers west and east of Mauville before going to Cycling Road, I guess.

Team:
Spikester/Qwilfish f.
Level 28
Poison Point
Lonely Nature

~ Spikes
~ Poison Sting
~ Tackle
~ Water Gun.

Pushed my self to train Anorith to Level 19 before taking down Roxanne. Skipped Brawly for a while, training a bit on Slateport before going back after getting Metal Claw. Beaten Wattson's Magneton with third succession Fury Cutter, grindede Magma & Aqua, beaten Flannery with AncientPower, and evolved Zigzagoon.
Also, finally I got an Armaldo. w00t

It's never too late to join, Darth Fader.

The only problem with using Shroomish in Firered is the fact that it will never evolve. I suppose to could just start the game with Breloom or something o.O that'd be weird.

Also, sorry to everyone for not updating the first post. It's a pretty time consuming task, and time is something I don't have a whole lot of. I'll definitely get to it over the weekend sometime, or next Wednesday, cause that's the first day of my summer break.

I already started on my Leafgreen. I was too impatient.

Trainer: Red
Pokemon: Squirtle (Evolving)


Here's my update.

I started my game with a Squirtle who I named John. I battle my rival after I got squirtle, who got a bulbasaur. We fought and I defeated him. I went to Viridian City training my pokemon. Just to find out I had to go back after I got a parcel for Oak. I went back and he gave me a PokeDex! I trudged to Viridian City and then cut through Viridian Forest. My Pokemon gaining around 7 levels. Then I battle Brock and 1 hit KOed all of his Pokemon with Water squirt. John then evolved into Wartortle.

I trudged to Mount Moon then stopped Team Rocket and obtained a Felix stone from a nerd. Then I went to Cerulean, healed my Pokemon and saved.

I felt sick doing the challenge on RSE, but maybe I could try it on Ruby then..

I finally did it.... it only took me a week from the time I got to the elite four.... Here is the picture for proof and Solo's final stats. Oh and I agreed with (I can't remember who said it I think Itz spadez did that it wasn't fair to use other poke's as revive fodder, so I didn't....)

Solo (Aggron) LV. 85
Hasty Nature
Earthquake
Thunderbolt
Double Edge

p.s. I know that's a horrible discription.... I had a way better one written up with pictures and everything.... Then I hit post, and I was told I couldn't post pictures from other sites since I don't have fifteen posts yet.... Lucky me.... Oh well it was a great challenge and I had fun :) Thanks Xephyr!
