After beating Brawly, my Pokemon is:
Pomeg the Timid Chinchou-Volt Absorb
Item: Pinap Berry
Water Gun
Thunder Wave
Supersonic
Flail

After beating Brawly, I went to Slateport, but realized I could go get the Exp. Share. So I did. I beat up every trainer on the beach and gave the Devon Goods to Dock, but he told me to take them to the Museum. I effortlessly beat the Numel of the first Magma Grunt who attacked me, then beat the Zubat and Numel of the next guy almost as easily. I then decided to move on to Mauville. I need enough coins to get Ice Beam and Thunderbolt.

LV 21 Chinchou-EXP Share
Water Gun
Thunder Wave
Supersonic
Flail

Also, could I be added to the "Challenges" part of the OP?

After beating the Magma grunts, I went up to Mauville. I bought some coins, and killed everyone on Route 117. I defeated Wattson no problem (forgot to screenshot) and went north. I went to Fallarbor, killing every trainer on the way, and went to Meteor Falls. I watched Team Magma do stuff and departed for the volcano. I killed the three Magma people with ease and then went to Lavaridge and owned Flannery with Water Gun.

Next up: Norman.
Oh yeah, she evolved.

Moveset:
Water Gun
Thunder Wave
Confuse Ray
Spark
------------------
After I beat Flannery, I went back to Mauville, bought some coins, and went south. I got on Mr. Briney's boat, and got off at Petalburg. I went through the gym, challenging every trainer, and beating the living daylights out of my dad.

Grabbed Surf from Wally's parents and wrote over Water Gun.
Moveset at Lvl. 40:
Surf
Thunder Wave
Confuse Ray
Spark

My HM Slaves currently are: Lvl. 3 Zigzagoon (Pickuper, Rock Smasher, Cutter, Strengther), Lvl. 16 Skarmory (Flyer) Both are untouched, by the way.

*Update!

Took on and defeated all the Team Aqua grunts, cleared them out of their hideout and they fled to somewhere under water, reached Mossdeep City and entered the Gym, defeated all the trainers and about to take on Tate & Liza with Swellow & Linoone (HM Slave).

Current Progress:

Swellow - Lv. 90

- Aerial Ace
- Wing Attack
- Steel Wing
- Fly

(Badges = 6)


I assume Swellow will be Level 100 by the time I reach the Elite Four, Swellow is almost 91 and I'm about to take on Tate & Liza, and I have ALOT of Team Aqua & Magma battles ahead, Also I have to beat Juan so Yeah.. :P

After beating Norman, I Surfed to Dewford, defeating several trainers, and then to Slateport. I went north and talked to Wattson, and completed the subquest at New Mauville. I recieved TM Thunderbolt.

Lvl 42 Lanturn
Surf
Thunder Wave
Confuse Ray
Thunderbolt

Almost have enough coins for Ice Beam!
----------------------------
Surfed across the small river to the side with Fortree, and killed some trainers on the way. I bought some coins and with those coins I bought Ice Beam. I then went North to the Weather Center or whatever it's called and effortlessly wiped out Team Magma. I fought May and defeated each of her Pokemon in one hit (Thank you, Ice Beam.) I moved on to the right, and talked to Steven, two-hit-killing a Keckleon. I entered the gym, and killed almost every trainer. By the time I made it to Winona, I had only been hit once, by a Swellow using Quick Attack. I proceeded to 1HKO all 4 of her Pokemon.

EDIT: While going through Mt. Pyre, Pomeg hit Lvl. 50.
---------------
After blazing through Magma Hideout (no pun intended) I surfed over to Mossdeep to fight Tate & Liza. While there I got Dive and actually lost to the duo on my first try (I wasted a turn killing my HM slave and I underestimated their Sp. Defenses) but beat them on my second try. Afterwards I used my newly acquired Super Rod to fish up my (hopefully) last HM Slave, a lvl. 33 Sharpedo, named Unused, like the other two.

lol it's gotten to a point where updating the "challengers" section on the first post would be ridiculously time consuming and mostly pointless because everyone updates so fast.

There's also too many people that are doing awesome and pwning these solo runs. Nice job everyone! I love the guy using Lanturn. Lanturn is so freaking awesome.

Alright guys I finally got around to finishing my run. Didn't really take any screenshots until the elite four.


Yeah, Ultima got to a really high level. Beautifly levels up fast so it didn't take as much grinding as you'd think.

Forgot to take a screen of the ghost girl


Giga Drain wins

I ran out of PP in stuff so I had to teach Beautifly Aerial Ace on the go. It worked very well.


I know


Pfft


Dang. Some seriously close calls with his Cradily and Armaldo using Ancientpower.


Victory.

I'm surprised that I'm about to go onto in once again, though this time, with Pokemon FireRed.

I have to ask, though, could we modify certain Pokemon that evolve through special means that can't be accomplished in a ROM? I was planning to use either Gengar's, Machamp's, Golem's or Alakazam's evolution families, though they only evolve through trading. I was also wondering whether egg moves can be hacked into the Pokemon's movesets, too.


And if it all goes crashing into the sea

Dunno about those on your list. But I think Scizor's allowed, since it's just an 'upgrade' to Scyther with improved Attack and Defense but reduced Speed.

Last gym defeated!

After beating Tate & Liza, I went north for some mini-grinding. I then went searching for the cave that Team Magma went with the Submarine. I easily defeated them all, with the only Pokemon taking more than one shot being Maxie's Crobat. I went to Sootopolis and killed Groudon in two shots, surviving an Earthquake with 2 HP (Dang Drought ability...) and went to fight Wallace. I OHKO'd his entire team, but it took two turns for the Wishcash (I used Thunderbolt by mistake, but he used Amnesia and I OHKO'd him with Ice Beam the next turn anyways) and the Milotic took two shots. But, at LVL 56, I have 8 badges. Now I just gotta go for the Champion.

W00t!
Gameplay Time at defeat of 8th gym: 10:51
