Okay, I'm gonna continue now, Platinum here we go.
ASTONISH IS NOT A GOOD MOVE TO HAVE AT THE BEGINNING, I SWEAR.

Anyway, my Turtwig lost to Barry (who's a retard)'s Chimchar. GARR.. Edited with Pokesav to make it become a Mawile, Gnawie!!!! :D:D:D

Can I request to put an egg move on myself so that I don't need to fight Shinx until Level 11?
- Edit: Never mind, I'm level 11.

I kinda forgot to take a lot of pictures, but here's a summary.

Update #1 Platinum.

I needed to train using the rare Shinx to reach Level 11 to get Bite, so that I could get through the first trainer who uses a Normal/Flying Starly, which Astonish can't hit.

Roark was easy peasy, Bite finished it off.



Again, Bite power.



Gardenia dies effortlessly to Bites which 2HKOes everything.

Rock Tomb was gotten and immediately taught (I forgot where I got it).



Ghosts, meet your demise - Crunch.
Seriously, why learn Baton Pass?



Overleveled Crunches thrash people.

Anyway, I'm up to Maylene now - I defeated her but the game crashed, so I'm gonna try her again. Taught Gnawie! Focus Blast, which is more than enough to OHKO her Pokemon.

Soldek, doing Johto is neccessary as well. You'll need to do HG/SS as well.
My bad, sorry.

Hoenn -> Kanto -> Sinnoh -> Johto

Just a question: On solo runs, how are you supposed to work with HMs? I mean, for all the people doing things like Charizard runs, won't you need to learn Surf?

Anyhoo, some progress:

- Kicked May's #%*
- Discovered Petalburg City, helped Wally catch his Pokemon.
- Continued on through Petalburg woods, with Mudkip ("Milo") now level 13
- Discovered Rustboro, beat Roxanne; Milo evolved into Marshtomp
- Helped out the Devon Researcher, beat the thug in the Rusturf Tunnel.
- Contacted Mr. Briney, set foot in Dewford.
- Delivered Steven's letter to Steven in Dewford Cave. Milo is now level 17.
- Defeated Brawly at the Dewford Gym, Milo is at level 19.
- Set foot in Slateport, beat all the trainers on the beach, Milo is level 22.

So far, that's it. I'll update more when I can.

You can use HM slaves, like you could evolve your Eevee to Vaporeon for Surf, catch a Pidgey for Fly, get a Clefable for Cut/Flash/Strength etc. These are the Slaves I used in FR.

Absolutely. I'm doing an Ultimate Monotype, and my Ghost team is stuck on Crasher Wake. Gyarados knows Bite and Floatzel knows Crunch/Ice Fang, and Drifblim gets 2 hit by either one, and Haunter gets one hit.
[off-topic]I'm also doing the Ghost UMC and I'm also on Sinnoh, just not updated since ages. I've defeated Volkner now :D. Are you playing Pearl? You can get Mismagius in Pearl or evolve your Haunter or stick to good ol' grinding.. Well, I didn't find Wake a problem :D.[/off-topic]

That says Maylene loses. Had to reset a bit to make Focus Blast get lucky and not miss though.



Honestly, Wake is a problem. Focus Blast became my useful OHKO attack here, as I can't manage taking a few Mud Bombs from Quagsire, and then getting KOed by a 130 power Brine.



Yeah, Cyrus was OHKOed by Iron Heads. Good that they added a STAB attack to this poor Mawile. :D Needed Focus Blast to kill Barry's Pokemon, especially Monferno/Infernape, can't remember. Seriously, when did Focus Blast become such a good attack?



Byron screams Focus Blast.



Iron Head ftw. :D



Ice < Steel. Just arrived at the gym though.

Okay, I get the HM slaves part, that sounds like a good idea.

Another question: How are you supposed to transfer them to the new games without having them ignore you? (i.e., say my Swampert reaches level 60. I transfer it to Kanto, but how is it supposed to clear Kanto without disobeying me?)

Those are the images which should work but might not cause I'm not sure how to put them in the messages. I have a video of the hall of fame because the two battles have no videos as well they went on for about an hour combined. But whatever. I'll get round to uploading them this evening.

WOO!!!
Good luck to everybody else to keep going!

Moar progress:

But question first: Are we supposed to use the SAME pokemon? Or would it be alright to just hack the next game so you can get the base and just fight through with that? Because I'll just hack for more Grimers-imers-imers.

-Owned Giovanni
-Got all up in the Pokemon tower, smoked Rival, crushed the Marowak ghost
-Got Poke Flute from Mr. Fuji
-Utterly destroyed Koga
-Moved to Saffron, got lost in the portals of Silph Co.
-Doped up the Rockets, ran out of attack moves against Rival
-OHKO'd Rival's Blastoise with struggle. Muk was KO'd as well.
-Rested and I owned Giovanni.
-Ran through portals and crushed Sabrina.

Ok so I got all my videos uploaded.

Spoiler:












Well overall the toughest Gym Leader was Candice with her ice pokemon and then some resistance to grass. Team Galactic was also a pain in the ass as I had no way of hurting Golbats effectively. Cyrus was hard, in fact, any pokemon that knew embargo pretty much screwed me over.

The elite four went missing with corruption as I did them all at once so here's a run down:

Aaron was the hardest battle in the game by far. His bug pokemon had massive immunity to me and his bee queen was just a pain in the ass with her healing and defence. I managed eventually to bring her down but it cost me in Solarbeams.

Bertha(?) was really easily due to weakness and some dual weaknesses too.

Flint was tough in places but I was having a harder time with my move management and having enough left to beat up the other trainers.

The final guy was easy cept for his Bronzong who was a massive pain. I managed to bring him down by making him use his full restore on another pokemon then just chipping away and hoping for a good move choice.

Cynthia was really easy. Most of her pokemon have weakness and the others can be felled by a growthed solarbeam.

So that's it! Thanks for the challenge guys. Maybe I'll do it again... one day lol.
Watch me complete some awesome games!

If you are playing on an Emulator, then you can use a gameshark cheat to hack in the Pokemon you are using. If you're playing on the actual game, though, then you have to breed it and run around til it hatches.

Ahhh, stuck on May's Grovyle with Marshtomp... Anyone got any ideas?
Nope. You are facing possibly the hardest battle anyone in a solo run will ever have to face. Honestly, I don't know I would do it. Maybe level up to 31 and learn Take Down? That would probably be enough to take it out.

Mission Accomplished, took out May's Grovyle with a crit from Mud Shot. I made an episode of my progress. I'll be editing this post with the video as soon as it's processed. (most likely tomorrow)

Video:


Things covered:

- Pwned May's Grovyle after losing several times
- Leaving Route 110 for Mauville
- Arriving in Mauville, obtaining the Bike (Mach)
- Heading to the Day-Care, giving an articulate assumption
- Headed over to the gym, OHKO'd Wally's Ralts
- Went off to train some more.

In the next episode:

> Challenge the Mauville Gym
> Discover Vertandurf
> Solve the Rock Tunnel incident
> Proceed north to Route 111, and to whatever lies there.

Sorry for the abrupt end to this little segment... I had no idea it'd be over 10 minutes. I'll be posting a new episode tomorrow displaying more progress as well. (FYI, my signature will always be updated with my progress, so I don't have to post it every time ;))

As for me, I'm off to bed. You'll hear more from me tomorrow. (or later today, rather.)
