Alright, after a grinding excursion mostly involving revisiting those avoided trainers and Sprout Tower, Combo reached level 18. I decided not to grind the extra 2 levels for Confusion and try out Rivale right away.

"Chapter 2: The Way to Drowzee"
:RIVALE ENCOUNTER: I love the irony of this guy calling me a weakling after I trounce him.
Used an Awakening after Gastly Hypnotized me, but other than that Ghastly went down easily enough. Zubat gave me some trouble with Supersonic, and Leech Life and Bite were both super-effective. Luckily, Combo is quite a tank, requiring only 1 Potion against Zubat. Haxorz Croconaw (Did he give it steroids to evolve early or something? WHAT ARE THESE TRAINER'S SECRETS?) gave me a bit of trouble, but after 3 Curses, Combo was set to take the win.
:ILEX FOREST: An HM for my slave.
:AZALEA GYM: Combined efforts of the forest and trainers here brings me to level 20. I am worried about super-effective Fury Cutter, but I think I can take him/her.
:GYM LEADER-BUGSY: Let's go you heshe.
Start out with my 3 Curses in preparation for Scyther. First Fury Cutter does 4 damage. :bandit: But after 4 I'm dead. :disappoin I'm kind of banking on maybe Confusion confusing him, causing him to hurt himself, disrupting Fury Cutter's flow. Or, maybe I'll just get lucky. ROUND 2! 4 Curses, still no dice. ROUND 3! Heh, shoulda figured after 5 Curses Tackle would do a better job than Confusion. Hive Badge get!

I'll finish this chapter later. I'm tired.

Update #2 (Flying/Normal dual monotype challenge)

Okay so I basically haven't played all that much, and I didn't write down what I did, so I'm doing this off memory.

I last left off right before Whitney (post). But I really didn't feel like playing it that much, especially since I just got VBA-M to work for my mac, thus letting me play pokemon FireRed and Emerald, two games i've never played on gameboy before.

So everyday I played for a bit, but all I did was happiness trained, by that I cut The Master's hair, and I ran back and forth, and back and forth, also bought return on the appropriate day. Finally I tried to evolve The Master, and I failed so I trained him so more, and then second time he evolved. I taught him return, and with that as well as with The Owl's hypnosis/swift combo, I took Whitney down.

So that aside, I have probably my hardest challenge in the Ghost Gym, (well really probably surge, but I don't want to think about that). So I teach The Hawk mud-slap, and the master Rollout, I also get the nightmare tm50 challenge down. Finally after I train as much as I think I need, I beat Morty, surprising very easily as his hypnosis/dream eater fails to put me to sleep, and his curses don't last enough to kill me.

Then I go to olivine and catch my HM slave chincou. And go to fight Chuck., when I get there I realize none of my guys learn strength, so I evolve totodile into croconaw, and he replaces paras as a cut/strength slave. After training on the Tentacool family, my birds crush Chuck. Then after giving jasmine her meds [oops I mean Amphy's ;) ] I beat her. To do this I mudslap the magnemites, and kill steelix with a hypnosis, nightmare and relflect combo. Then I clear out Team Rocket, and beat Pryce mostly with Return from the master.

Right now I'm in the Radio Tower, and have yet to meet the fake director.

Gastly is pretty easy to find at night, same place where you find Bellsprout o-o

In other news, updating again today! Updating on weekends is much more comfortable/efficient << I'll pick up the game after lunch and go as far as I can again! Hooray for long updates xD


EDIT:

Hey everyone!

This thread is being closed to test out a new way of doing things. There will be a new thread for it, however. Don't get discouraged from updating there, and don't think you have to start all over, I will literally just transfer your progress over to the new thread!
