You can have the letter F.

Also, I'd like to participate in this, I'll use LeafGreen.

*checks the rules again*

On second thoughts, unless I can hack my team members in, (1 before each gym to avoid breaking the game) seeing as I can't trade eggs pre E4 and I'd rather not have half my team disobeying me, I'm probably gonna have to pass on this.

Alright I'll start Pearl with the letter C.

Going to use 5 Pokemon:
Crawdaunt
Crobat
Camerupt
Charizard
Claydol

As for Charmander/Baltoy/Corfish, as they are unobtainable pre-N'dex, I will obtain them by trading in eggs. Zubat and Numel will be caught in game.

I'd like to join. I will play Blue version on an emulator. XBA, you get a T.

BTW, I have a question. What if your letter doesn't work with any of the starters? For example, if you're playing Gold/Silver/Crystal, and you get an S? Then you won't be able to leave New Bark Town because your starter violates the rules.

SooperTrooper, you get the letter E
Please give me a letter, I'll probably be playing on Soul Silver, but to beat this one, you have to beat Red, correct?
Thanks. You don't have to beat Red, he's just a challenge after you do beat the game. Beat the Elite Four + Champion and you beat the game [ excluding completing the Pokedex ]

BTW, I have a question. What if your letter doesn't work with any of the starters? For example, if you're playing Gold/Silver/Crystal, and you get an S? Then you won't be able to leave New Bark Town because your starter violates the rules.
I think this is the only time when you're allowed to cheat, I could be wrong so check with the thread owner,but once you receive your starter, I think you're allowed to cheat and substitute that starter with another Pokemon with your letter. A fair one, obviously.

So, if you're playing Emerald and you chose Treecko, but your letter is V, then you can make it so that a Vulpix appears in the wild, catch it, then release Treecko and have Vulpix as your 'starter'.

But remember, since you'll be playing Blue version, If you get a V then you can pick Bulbasaur because Bulbasaur > Ivysaur > Venasaur.

Okay, I'm all set. May I have a letter? I'll probably just update my progress by editing this post over and over again.

Edit: Thanks for the letter, Jdthebud. I'm ready to start.

For a Starter, I'll pick Charmander. Oh god... I just realized, this early game is gonna be hell with only a Kakuna. So anyways, I'm speeding through the early game stuff. The first pokemon I'm gonna catch is a Weedle, and I'm going to evolve it into a Kakuna. Which I'll probably ditch when I get my 2nd team member.

Edit: I have now caught Weedle and evolved it into Kakuna.

Yay, new challenge! By the way, would it be possible to do an Ultimate run? Not sure if I will, but the possibility intrigues me...
And I might not do it for a while since I have other challenges and RL is fast approaching.

Someone give me a letter plz :D.

And DeliciousFruit, your letter is....

K!

Sweet. I'm still thinking about an Ultimate challenge, but for now I will just go with Blue.

Team will be Nidoking, Nidoqueen, and Ninetales.
Okay, here we go. Deets and screenshots in the spoiler tags.

Spoiler:
  • I started the game on Blue, named myself Ned, rival Saul.
  • Chose Squirtle, named him N Slave.
  • After the early game stuff, I caught a Nidoran♀ and a Nidoran♂ on Rt 22 outside Viridian.
  • Grinded Nidoran♂ through Virdian Forest and outside Pewter and got him to L13.
  • In the the gym, Nidoran♂ got to L14 before facing Brock.


    Nidoran♂ got several critical Horn Attacks on Geodude to take him down. After a Potion and 6 Leers, he got Onix to 1 HP before falling to Bide, and my L4 Nidoran♀ finished Onix with a Tackle, and promptly grew to L9 :D.

  • Next I went through Mt Moon without much trouble. I taught Water Gun to Nidoran♀.
  • Both of them evolved inside Mt Moon into Nidorino and Nidorina. I also caught a Clefairy in there named Fairy as a future Flash/Teleport slave.
  • Upon reaching Cerulean City, I caught a Spearow to trade for Farfetch'd later on.
  • Beat Saul pretty easily, although Pideotto beat Nidorina. Nidorino was able to take down the rest with Horn Attack.
  • After beating Nugget Bridge and reaching Bill's house, I went to the gym.
  • Both Nidorina and Nidorino were at L23, so I used the Moon Stone to evolve Nidorino into Nidoking, who then learned Thrash.


    Misty was not hard. Nidoking swept with four Thrashes, although Water Gun/Bubblebeam threatened to take him down. He grew to L24 as well.

  • Taught Bubblebeam to Nidorina.
  • Went down to Vermilion City, goth the Bike Voucher and traded Spearow for Dux, the Farfetch'd.
  • After getting the Bicycle, I took on the S.S. Anne, eventually fighting my way to the second fight against Saul. Taught Body Slam to Nidorina.


    Swept with Nidorina.

  • Got Cut (went to Dux), then challenged the gym.


    Nidoking is OP at this stage with Thrash.

  • Taught Thunderbolt to Nidorina.
  • Went through Diglett's Cave, and caught one to get to 10 Pokemon.
  • Got Flash, taught it to Fairy.
  • Went through Rock Tunnel, picking up Teleport on the way (taught to Fairy as well).
  • Reached Laveder Town and inside the Pokemon Tower, I fought Saul for the thrid time.


    Easy as ever, Nidoking is still OP. He got confused and hurt himself a couple times but was able to pull it out without deferring to Nidorina.

  • Outside Lavender Town, I caught the final member of my team, a Vulpix named Flare.
  • Am currently training Flare up.


Team Ned:

Flare (Vulpix) - L18
Moves: Quick Attack, Ember, Tail Whip


Rex (Nidoking) - L34
Moves: Horn Attack, Focus Energy, Leer, Thrash

Regina (Nidorina) - L37
Moves: Body Slam, Bite, Thunderbolt, Bubblebeam

And 3 slaves - Dux (Farfectch'd) with Cut, Fairy (Clefairy) with Flash and Teleport, and Digger (Diglett) with Dig.

*Incognito learns Quick Attack during the fight with Youngster Allen.
*Caught Zigzagoon. Named it 'MickZagger'. (lawl) Going to be one of my HM slaves.
