I Finally Defeat the Elite 4 Yesterday at 18:49:48 O'clock (Europe) Precisely. I couldn't get on internet so also not pokecommunity
I'm going to be honest here and say that my last attack hit Cynthia at about 20:08 GMT (According to my last video time stamp) so you were the first one. Congrats! It's definitely good feeling to finally finish it. I thought my Diamond game would never end.
Watch me complete some awesome games!

Thanks.
The game was so slow without my speed button, so i just wanted to finish it so i could begin playing fast games again :D

Wow, 2HKO on Lucario with Rock Slide? Is that possible? I know that Lucario is frail, but hey, it has a 4x resist to Rock :o I also wonder why you used Rock Slide on Gastrodon and why didn't you use Earthquake on Lucario as well as Drapion :P

It can be possible that i didn't use Rock Slide on Lucario. Maybe i just used Dark Pulse? Maybe i am not very good at remebering it?

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.
I like that line, 'possibly the hardest battle anyone in a solo run will ever have to face'.

Dark Pulse is 4x resisted by Lucario.. I guess you used Earthquake and forgot about it, daniehej, haha.

I caught Giratina. Will update maybe tomorrow.

I guess there could potentially be harder battles out there, maybe some other Pokemon that is quad weak to a gym leader type early in the game before you get type coverage...

I beat the E4 and the champion, and FireRed is finished. I could have done a Nuzlocke, because Meteor never fainted, except when he took recoil from Take down/Struggle as a Beldum. yeah. videos are up soon, the E4 will be a 3 parter, as the fight took 22 minutes.
On to Sapphire!
Spoiler:
E4 videos are here

Due to the fact that my computer's being a total ass, I'll be showing my progress via posts, no more videos.

- Cleared the Mauville Gym
- Discovered Vertandurf
- Headed north to Route 111
- Beat everyone there
- Entered the Firey Path, proceeded up Route 111
- Fought some trainers, Miles is now Level 34
- Proceeded West on Route 113
- Discovered Fallabor Town
- Headed South to Meteor Falls

So I think I'm doing rather well so far. I'll be using some HM slaves to help me get around faster.

I have a question. I really would like to do this challenge with rattata. The problem is I would have to use a cheat for wild ratattas for emerald version when I got to it. Is this ok to do? If it is please sign me up. My game order will be leafgreen-heartgold-emerald-diamond

- Proceeded down the Jagged Path, discovered Lavaridge
- Healed up, bought some herbs, then beat the gym. Got the go-goggles
- Headed out for Petalburg
- Challenged and beat the gym there, received Surf from Wally's parents.
- Headed back to Mauville, then east to Route 118 - 119
- Beat a Ranger who complained that I was traveling 'light.' My response was, "No sh*t? Really?"
- Made my way up the route, then Miles got his Level 41 ass PWNED by a Counter from a Ranger's level 28 Breloom. The second time I faced the ranger, his Breloom's Counter got me down to 3 HP in one blow. That Breloom is a f*ckin detonator. ThenIkilleditinonehitwithsurf. :D

Progress so far: (important stuff is in orange, badges are in blue)

- Beat Team Magma at Mt. Chimney, where Miles evolved into Swampert.
- Headed down from the Jagged Pass to Lavaridge.
- Bought some herbs
- Challenged the gym and won, got the Go-Goggles from May.
- Set back out for Petalburg right away
- Beat my own dad at the Petalburg Gym, earning me the Balance Badge
- Got Surf from Wally's Parents
- Surfed my way over from Mauville to Route 118 - 119
- Beat a Ranger who complained I was traveling "light." My response: "No sh*t? Really?"
- Challenged a Ranger on Route 119 with a level 28 Breloom. Miles' level 41 ass got PWNED by its counter. After challenging him again, he got Miles down to 3 HP in ONE blow. Careful, all you Hoenn solorunners; that Breloom is a f*ckin' detonator.
- Beat some more trainers, reached the Weather Institute.
- Two guards told me to stay away from the Weather Institute. If I know games correctly, that's a VIP-ticket in.
- Found a little kid who was separated from his daddy in the upstairs portion of the W.I. because of Team Magma. I decided not to hold back. *uses Surf on everything*
- Annihilated all the grunts and the admin. (I got a laugh out of the grunt whose pre-battle message was "Hi, we're Team Magma! We appear wherever rare things are found.")
- Got myself a free Castform. (too bad I don't need it... (Castform solorun, anyone?))
- Oh #$&%... May.
- Whoo, that's a relief. I got a 2HKO on her Grovyle with Mud Shot.
- Received Fly from May... Woohoo! Now to find a flying Pokemon...
- Stumbled upon Fortree
- Got the Devon Scope from Steven on Rt. 120
- Challenged the Gym at Fortree. OHKO'd her Swellow, and her Skarmory & Pelliper were 2HKO's, and Alatria was taken down in 4 turns. Miles went up to Lv. 45, yea! Got myself the Featherbadge.
- Headed South for Lilycove

I think I'll take a break... Let some more people post. ^^ I vow to have the Hoenn League complete by the END OF THE NIGHT! I'll continue to post more as things progress.

Update!!



Iron Head pwnzorftw.



Best screenshot ever in the 2nd picture. This is what amazing no$ can do.



Love the Distortion World.
Oh, Iron Head knocked out some sense out of the Galactic people.



Cyrus was piece of cake. Giratina.. well.. Had to reset a few times to catch it. Shadow Force does 20 damage to me :D



Volkner was one of the harder battles; paralysis could well ruin my whole battle.
- Raichu went down to a Crunch.
- Luxray went down to 2 Crunches.
- Magneton had to be Focus Blasted to death.
- Electivire.. Just hit hard.



I. HATE. MAGNETONS.
The 3rd screen shows my PP when I defeated the last trainer of the Victory Road - Rock Slide scored a Critical Hit on the resistant Gabite, so I didn't use a single struggle. Cool ****.



Infernape is seriously a problem, I have no way to kill it. Out of the four types ( ) that Infernape is weak to, the only type I could learn is Mud-Slap. How powerful!


Gnawie! Level 84 Mawile
Mild/Hyper Cutter
HP 206/Atk 187/Def 157/SpA 144/SpD 104/Spe 131
Crunch
Rock Slide
Iron Head
Focus Blast

I'm pretty sure I would learn different moves as I progress through the E4 through TMs, most notably Grass Knot, to make my life easier.
Still need to figure a way to get past that damned Infernape -.-

UPDATE: Yep you saw this coming. No pictures mostly, because it was the 2nd trial run actually.

Aaron: Steel > Bug.
Rock Slides to everyone, except Drapion, who fell from two Iron Heads.

Taught Grass Knot to Gnawie! replacing Focus Blast.

Bertha: Surprisingly, even with the double weakness, Whiscash didn't get OHKOed. He set up a Sandstorm, however, so it's still ok.
Gliscor took two Iron Heads before falling.
Everyone else was an OHKO.

Flint: Infernape took me 5 Hyper Potions to Flare Blitz himself to death, including a critical hit which required a revive on my side.
Everyone else was OHKOed by Rock Slide.

Lucian: Crunch OHKOes everyone, Alakazam was a problem though, Focus Blast just won't miss, ended up stalling out his PP.
Gallade fell to two Iron Heads.

Taught Ice Beam to Gnawie! replacing Rock Slide.
Taught Focus Blast to Gnawie! replacing Crunch.

Cynthia:



1 Iron Head flinched Spiritomb to 40%.
She switched out for Lucario, and Iron Head hit for 30%.
Aura Sphere HURTS. ~80%. Focus Blast took him down.
Garchomp next; Earthquake pawned me. Needed a Max Revive here to tank an Earthquake, then retaliate with OHKO Ice Beam.
Togekiss was the other Max Revive used; I decided to go with Iron Head instead, 2HKOing and tanking an Aura Sphere in the process.
Milotic fell to 2 Grass Knots.
She sent out Spiritomb again who gets Iron Headed.
Roserade was last; need I say more?

Most changes in moveset during the Elite Four ever.

HM Slaves: Psyduck (Surf Strength Rock Smash Waterfall), Staravia (Fly Defog), Rhyhorn (Rock Climb)
Rhyhorn managed to not die from an Extremespeed by Cynthia's Lucario o.o


Gnawie! Level 89 Mawile (3 Rare Candies before Cynthia)
Mild/Hyper Cutter
HP 218/Atk 198/Def 166/SpA 152/SpD 110/Spe 139
Ice Beam
Grass Knot
Iron Head
Focus Blast

What a versatile moveset! Lol.

Platinum COMPLETED!

All right Emoxy! One left! And yeah, I only like versatile Pokemon. That's why Starmie is my favorite, at any given time, it could hit you with Surf, Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Flash Cannon, Power Gem, Grass Knot, or Signal Beam. What can you do against that?

I have a question. I really would like to do this challenge with rattata. The problem is I would have to use a cheat for wild ratattas for emerald version when I got to it. Is this ok to do? If it is please sign me up. My game order will be leafgreen-heartgold-emerald-diamond
Yes, find a gameshark code to hack in the Pokemon that you're using. Just don't give it any extra moves or stats or whatever.

The only difference between Starmie and Mawile is, Mawile has 50 Special Attack. WIN! T_T

Not having ground type moves is a problem, and base 50 speed isn't helping; I'm sure Ash's Pikachu will OHKO me with Thunderbolt or something. Gonna start the last version now!
(Btw myrrhman I'll be doing HG instead!)

Mew beats that, it has more options than Starmie and could learn almost any attack :D. Smeargle beats Mew and could learn any attack except for Chatter :P.

I finally started Johto (i don't want to do my Hoenn Alpha Run atm, idk why), and have defeated Falkner. Kabuto is level 14.

For Solo puropses, there is no need to learn many moves apart from stuff like thunderbolt, rock slide, surf, etc. Stuff that hits hard and rather accurately so you don't miss all the time. Your Pokemon's going to be high enough leveled probably, I think most people's problems come from not being super effective on a Pokemon so it doesn't kill it. So yeah, Mew would be nice, but Starmie does get both Surf and Psychic STAB'd, and enough different types to choose from that she'll (yes my starmie is a girl, and I don't care what you say about it being genderless) be okay.

And I know what you mean about Alpha, I finished round one a long time ago, but haven't started on the second wave. Oh well, we have plenty of time to do it.
