Got any Pokemon stuck in your PC, waiting for the day they're finally given the chance to shine? Maybe you couldn't catch them before you beat the Elite Four. Maybe you had to choose a different Pokemon because they'd make completing the game easier. Maybe there were just too many awesome Pokemon to choose from, and seeing as you can only have a team of 6, some cool Pokemon that you always wanted to raise just slipped through the net...

Well, here's your chance to finally give them their turn to shine! Everyone must have a stack of Pokemon stashed away somewhere that they never got the chance to use on a team, even if you really wanted to originally. Catch them as normal, trade (at as low a level as possible, preferably as eggs) or hack them to a new game, and complete a playthrough with team members you've never used before!

Preparing for the second gym.

Team:
Yakuza(Spinarak)lv.18 male
Hardy nature
-Poison sting
-Leech life
-Scary face
-Night shade
Opinion: He's surprisingly good for being a generic bug type you catch early in the game. Poison sting has been good with poisoning threats, night shade is good for steady damage, and leech life is good combo with poison sting.

Escarsnot(Slugma)lv.18 male
Docile nature
-Yawn
-Smog
-Ember
-Rock throw
Opinion: He's being my hard hitter from the special side with ember. Yawn is also great for stopping major threats. He also looks funky and that makes it awesome.

Krusty(Krabby)lv.18 female
Sassy nature
-Mud sport
-BubbleBeam
-ViceGrip
-Leer
Opinion: Why have I been ignoring krabby for such a long time? She's so awesome both battle wise and design wise. Massive attack and defense and it's all going to be more powerful from here. Possibly my MVP right now.

Just recently found a Starter Mod code to get Sneasel right away, as well as a Nat. Dex code, so Sneasel is now the first of my enforcers.
*edit: Decided to restart my game, using the proper Nat. Dex code this time. As such, Sneasel is now at Lv. 6.

Previous Location: On Route 1. Just left Pallet Town after beating Gary Oak.
Party:
Sneasel
Lv. 6
Rash Nature
Female
OT: Takeru
Met at Pallet Town at Lv. 5
Thoughts on Sneasel At the time: Sneasel is TOUGH. She took down Gary Mothertrucking Oak's Bulbasaur in three hits. A bit weaker than the previous save, but not by much. Hopefully Sneasel learns Icy Wind or some Ice-type move soon, or I'm in for a rough time in Brock's Gym.

Status Update! :D

Current Location: Pewter City. Just Obtained the BoulderBadge.
Current Party: Sneasel.
Sneasel
Lv. 16
Rash Nature
OT Takeru
Met at Pallet Town at Lv. 5.
Current Thoughts on Sneasel: A-MA-ZING! Even with her crippling weakness against rock-types, Sneasel didn't give up and managed to beat all of Pewter City's gym through sheer determination and willpower! Even without any Ice-type moves, Sneasel beat down Brock with a lot of Screeching, Scratching, and Quick Attacking. :D

Okay, here's the update. First of all, I'll be giving some more depth to Takeru's personality, as well as giving certain traits the Pokemon I catch during this challenge.

Takeru's Log:

Entry 1: After defeating Brock at the Pewter Gym, I've decided to rest for a while at the Pokemon Center before Sneasel and I make our way out to Mt. Moon. It's gonna be a long trek, but I know that we can make it through. There are a lot of Trainers on Route 3. Most of them are pretty easy for Sneasel, but seeing how worn out she is, I think I might need to catch a new Pokemon to lighten the load, if even just a little.

Entry 2: Wow, now here's something unusual. This trainer I battled said there were some suspicious characters lurking around. He also stated that he believes that it's Team Rocket, up to no good as usual. As I searched for the exit, I saw a Cubone. Quite an unusual sight for a place like Mt. Moon. It looked so sullen and alone, even for a Cubone. So I decided to try and catch it. Sneasel didn't even have to damage it, just restrain it for me to throw the Pokeball. Sure enough, it was a wild one. It doesn't seem to like me that much. I found a Sun Stone while looking for the exit. Funny. You'd think that a place called Mt. MOON wouldn't have SUN Stones. But I'm not complaining. I'll get some use out of it, I'm sure.

Entry 3: Oh man... This is bad. I went down this path that turned out to be a dead end, with a Rocket Grunt nearby. I tried to sneak away but he found me. I'd had Cubone out, and the minute that Grunt sent out a Pokemon, Cubone started attacking it like there was no tomorrow. His determination seemed pretty unnatural. I called Cubone back, because he wasn't actually doing any sort of damage to the Grunt's Sandshrew, and I sent out Sneasel to take out both of his Pokemon, and then got out of there and hid for a while. I let out Cubone, wondering what was wrong. It looked like he'd been crying while he was trying to defeat that Sandshrew, and I realized something right there. Cubone are usually sullen and misanthropic because of the trauma of losing their parents, and this little guy was no exception. It's pretty obvious to me that his mother must have been killed by Team Rocket. I started telling him about how little I knew my dad, and how he'd left home to become a Gym Leader in some far off region. I then told Cubone that I'd wanted to follow in his footsteps, and that I'd need as much help as I could. I then decided to give Cubone the Rock Tomb TM that I got from Brock, saying that as long as he travelled with me, I'd make sure that he got vengeance against them. I think after that speech, Cubone's started to warm up to me a little.

Entry 4: Now that Cubone's learned Rock Tomb, he's having no trouble beating Team Rocket's Pokemon. After a lot of training, against both Rocket-owned and wild Pokemon alike, Cubone also learned Bone Club, which is sure to help against other Rocket Grunts. After a while of travelling, I finally found the exit. But there was some kind of Super Nerd nearby. I was planning on just walking past him with no difficulty, but he thought I was going to try and take his fossils and sent his Pokemon at me. All Poison-types, so Cubone made short work of them. After telling him that I was only passing through, and had no intention of taking his fossils, he apologized and insisted that I take a fossil as a token of his apology. Since it seemed like he wasn't going to give up on it, I just decided to take the Dome Fossil. He then mentioned something about a Lab on Cinnabar Island, where they were researching on how to bring fossilzed Pokemon back to life. Might be something to look into when I get there. But for now, time to get out of here.

Entry 5: We just recently made it out of Mt. Moon. It was quite a trek, but it was worth it. Cubone in particular seems really happy about beating those Rocket Grunts. I'll bet he's looking forward to defeating a lot more of them, and I'm certain that we'll clash against Team Rocket on more and more occasions in the future. On our way to Cerulean City, I came across a couple of Blackbelts, offering to teach my Cubone either Mega Punch or Mega Kick. While both moves are powerful, Mega Kick isn't as reliable as Mega Punch, so I chose Mega Punch. The Mega Kick Blackbelt seemed disappointed, but I didn't pay him any mind and went on my merry way. Upon arrival in Cerulean, I heard talk going around about some "Nugget Bridge challenge" going on at the Bridge on Route 24, where, if you defeat five trainers, you're given a Nugget by a man running it. It caught my interest as a place to do some possible training, so after healing my Pokemon, I decided to head up that way. But who should I run into other than Gary Mothertrucking Oak? The guy was apparently waiting to jump me after trouncing him at Professor Oak's Lab and on Route 22. Another trouncing occured, this time joined by Cubone, who proved to be a great asset against Gary's Abra and Pidgeotto. After I beat him, he gave me a Fame Checker, calling me a 'chatty gossip'. REALLY? Since when have I talked crap about anybody besides calling him "Gary Mothertrucking Oak?" Anyway, he also rubbed in my face the fact that he's caught more Pokemon than I have, as well as the fact that he'd already beaten the Cerulean Gym. Jerk...

Entry 6: Well, the Nugget Bridge was legit enough. Sure enough, after taking down all 5 trainers, I got a Nugget from the guy at the end, but then this weird crap happens. He offers me the opportunity to JOIN Team Rocket and rule the world. As if I'd even THINK about it. Hearing a mention of Team Rocket really lit Cubone's fuse, and we won rather easily. After that victory, I decided to search the grass patch along the side of the bridge, and I found an Oddish. I had Cubone just use a Headbutt against it, and interestingly enough, not only did Oddish not faint, but also used a powerful Absorb attack and managed to endure a SECOND Headbutt from Cubone. After witnessing that, I decided to catch it. I threw the Pokeball and it was an easy catch. Oddish seems to be pretty energetic, enough that I can say that it's definitely jumpy. But with only Absorb and Sweet Scent at it's disposal, I figured that it might be helpful to teach Oddish with the Bullet Seed TM I found in Mt. Moon, and so far, it seems Oddish is quite a crack shot, if I do say so myself. Out of 5 shots, 4 of them hit their mark each time he's used them. Which is sure to come in handy in Cerulean Gym. Taking Gary's advice, I decided to trek over to Bill's Sea Cottage.

Entry 7: Now HERE'S a tale for the Little Treehouse of Horrors. Imagine to yourself the foulest, most unnatural thing you've ever seen in your life. Now imagine a Pokemaniac with Curly brown hair and a british accent fused with a Clefairy, of all things. Yeah. Not as cute as the Clefairy and Bill fangirls would think... Anyway, I helped Bill out of his predicament, and to thank me for helping him, he gave me an SS Ticket to get on the SS Anne in Vermillion City. Seems like something to check out. He also let me check out his Rare Pokemon Collection, which added pages for Eevee, Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon to my Pokedex. A nice gain, to say the least. After checking all of that out, I decided to head back to Cerulean when I heard a commotion break out at a nearby house. A police officer told me that there was a break-in, and that the criminal stole a TM for Digging holes. I decided to try and find the theif, and, to my surprise, he was standing RIGHT IN THEIR BACKYARD. The guy tried to feed me a line of crap about how he was just an innocent bystander, but I'm not falling for it. A quick trouncing ensued, with his Machop and Drowzee being defeated and the Dig TM being recovered. I was going to return it to it's proper owner, but the owner told me to keep it, saying he'd just have his Diglett learn it naturally. A rather unexpected gain, but appreciated nonetheless.

Entry 8: After taking out that Rocket Grunt, I decided it was time to take on the Cerulean Gym. We entered the gym, and I saw Cubone cowering somewhat, which I assumed meant that Cubone had a fear of water, which is natural for a Ground-type. So I decided to try and stick with Oddish and Sneasel for this fight, and managed to make it to Misty with no problem using ONLY Oddish. Misty's Staryu and Starmie gave Oddish a tough fight, but Oddish managed to take down Starmie with a 4-hit Bullet Seed attack for the CascadeBadge. What's even better is that after the battle, Oddish EVOLVED! It was my first time seeing an evolution up close, so I was surprised to see such a drastic change. From Oddish to Gloom. But it doesn't end there. We got to the Pokemon Center, healed up, and afterwards, I started sifting through my bag, looking for the Moon Stone I found and Gloom picked up the Sun Stone I'd set aside while looking for it. As soon as Gloom started glowing, I knew it was an evolution. But it's amazing. Gloom evolved into a species of Pokemon I'd never seen before. According to the Pokedex, it's called Bellossom, and unlike Oddish and Gloom, Bellossom is a Pure Grass-type. Meaning that when I make my next stop at Saffron, Bellossom's less likely to be at risk of serious injury.

Sneasel
Lv. 23
Female
Rash Nature
Met at Pallet Town at Lv. 5
Takeru's Thoughts:
Sneasel is definitely the Alpha Female Battle Girl of the party. Both the strongest Pokemon and the apparent tip of the food chain in my party. She wasn't as involved in the Cerulean Gym Battle as she was Pewter's, mainly due to the additions of Bellossom and Cubone. But even so, Sneasel is still the strongest Pokemon in my party, and I don't doubt that she'll come in especially handy in Saffron next.

Cubone
Lv. 20
Male
Naughty Nature
Met at Mt. Moon at Lv. 7
Takeru's Thoughts:
Cubone wasn't exactly what I had expected him to be when I caught him. He's a fierce-yet-intellectual fighter who knows when to fight and when to swap out. If we can get much stronger, I don't doubt he'd be especially useful in Saffron's Gym.

Bellossom
Lv. 21
Male
Sassy Nature
Met at Route 24 at Lv. 13
Takeru's Thoughts:
Bellossom, despite being originally caught as an Oddish, is definitely a powerful battler. He's the king of Multi-hit attacks, landing 4 out of 5 Bullet Seed shots flawlessly each time. And since he's a pure Grass-type, there's no need to worry about a weakness against Psychic-types, which is likely what we'll be up against next.

So Takeru's Logs and Thoughts will be a frequent thing in my updates, along with important screenshots, such as the capture of new Pokemon, event milestones, such as the Nugget Bridge Completion, Gym Clears, and other such details.

Also, as for why SAFFRON is mentioned next. Well, I'm trying to give this playthrough a bit more of a story to it, so Takeru is currently unaware of the Saffron Roadblock, and of Team Rocket's takeover of Silph Co. He WILL be going to Vermillion City, so don't think I'm planning to skip past all of that.

Screenshots of key events are up on my Majhost Gallery dedicated to this Challenge.
No screenshots of Mt. Moon due to my forgetfulness.

Update 1
New Bark Town-Route 30
-I finally got this new adventure underway and after progressing through all of the pregame stuff, I dumped my Chikorita off in the PC and found my old action replay to get myself a Porygon2. Porygon2 isn't a real offensive threat right now due to the fact that its only damaging move is tackle but I'm sure it'll pull through for me in the long run. Alongside my new Porygon2(which I hacked in at lv.5 by the way), I headed up to Route 30 where I did a bit of training to get P2 to level 7. After talking to Mr.Pokemon and Prof.Oak for a bit, I took on my rival, Silver for the first time and won easily. After some more pregame nonsense, I made my way back to Route 30 and took on all of the trainers there and decided to hack in my next partner, Seviper. At the moment she only has Wrap so training her won't be easy but I think it'll be well worth it in the end.

My Team At This Point:
Spoiler:

Porygon2 Lv10
-Tackle
-Conversion 2
-Psybeam
-Conversion




Seviper Lv6

Status Update Time!

Takeru's Logs:

Spoiler:
Entry 9: Okay, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? So I'm trying to go through to Saffron City, for my next Gym Battle, and I find out that the road is closed due to construction or something... The guy that told me that also complained about being thirsty... But seriously, this really puts a weight on my plans of challenging Saffron Gym... I was about ready to just charge through anyway when this guy says something to me about an underground path in the house near the guard station. Might be useful if it can get me near a town with a gym.

Entry 10: Okay, so now I find out that the underground path took me all the way UNDER Saffron City to Route 6. It's nothing too major, since I'm close to Vermillion City, but still, I can't help but feel miffed that Saffron's blocked off for whatever reason... I battled a few trainers on my way to Vermillion, and then when I got there, I went straight for the Gym, but the passage was blocked off by a tree, and there was a swarm of Tentacool, so I couldn't swim past it. I was about to turn back when I realized that I had that ticket for the SS Anne. Looks like I've got a bit of fun to be had in Vermillion before I take off.

Entry 11: Before going to the SS Anne, I decided it might be fun to check around Route 11 nearby. Funny, I'm going to a Route with the same number as this log entry. Talk about irony. But anyway, there wasn't much in terms of competition there, so I took care of battling all the trainers nearby, and then I decided to take off for the SS Anne. The Sailors on the bridge to the port seemed rather relaxed. They even said that the water near the SS Anne is safe to swim in. So what else would I do but decide to go for a swim*? I saw a mound of land nearby and climbed up, seeing a truck. I figured I'd look around and I saw a rather interesting package. It had something called a "Lava Cookie" in it. I figured I'd have Sneasel hold on to it for me until I got back on land. No sooner did I almost reach the port than I got attacked by an angry Wailmer. While it isn't really all that unusual to see Wailmer in Kanto, it IS unusual to see them angry, let alone at a port like this. I guess I must have accidentally disturbed it's nest. I sent out Sneasel to fight it, and when it looked weak enough, I decided to catch it. It's a rather unusual catch, and I figured that I'd show Professor Oak when I got the opportunity to go to Pallet Town.

Entry 12: Well, the SS Anne is more lively than I thought. There are a lot of trainers willing to battle. I figured this would be as good a time as any to get to know Wailmer a bit better. Surprisingly enough, Wailmer didn't seem the least bit angry to follow my commands. It's probably because Wailmer respects me, seeing the Gym Badges I have. After battling everybody on board, I figured I'd go see the Captain, after hearing from one of the Sailors that I battled that the Captain could teach my Pokemon how to use Cut.

Entry 13: OF COURSE I'd run into Gary Mothertrucking Oak on the way to the Captain's quarters. Figures. I mean, the guy's ALWAYS ambushing me at the WORST possible times. I swear he's stalking me or something. Anyway, seeing as I got a lot of training done here on the SS Anne, it was a cakewalk against Gary. Wailmer had an amazing victory, taking down both Gary's Pidgeotto AND his Raticate. Sneasel beat down Ivysaur, as usual, and Cubone had fun playing mind games with Kadabra. All in all, it was a decent victory. But I think Wailmer might have done a bit too much damage to Raticate... Ah well, I'm sure it'll be fine.

Entry 14: Wow... The Captain looked SERIOUSLY ill... I could hear him hurling the minute I got near the stairs... It's funny how the captain of a luxury cruise liner like the SS Anne would be seasick. But instead of poking fun at him like I am now, I gave him a good rub on the back, which seemed to help him out with his seasickness. Sadly, he couldn't teach my Pokemon how to use Cut, but he gave me a TM I didn't know existed, that had the move Cut registered on it. The Captain said it was Hidden Machine 01, and said that only a few HM's were produced, and he just happened to have a spare that he gave me so that I could teach one of my Pokemon how to use Cut. Finally, the tree blocking Vermillion Gym would plague me NO MORE. But the Captain then told me that the ship would be departing soon, so I was in a mad dash to get off before the ship set sail. Fortunately, I made it back there just in time.

Entry 15: Vermillion Gym is... Well... A little unnerving... Particularly the fact that the Gym Leader's just a bit TOO cautious... He had a trap set in his gym that blocked off the way to him, and the switches to deactivate it were in TRASH CANS of all things... So after digging around for a while, I found one switch, then checked in the one behind me to deactivate the trap. Finally, the Gym Leader, Lt. Surge would face me in battle. Since he's a master of Electric-types, I figured that the Ground-type Cubone would be more than a match for him. Considering that Cubone learned Bonemerang during our time on the SS Anne, it was a quick sweep, earning us the Thunderbadge.

Entry 17: Well, since there isn't anywhere else to go at the moment, what with a Snorlax blocking off Route 12, and no other way to Saffron, I figured I might as well go through Diglett's Cave. It was another difficult trek, mainly because the Diglett are so dang persistent. They NEVER stopped until we got out. But once we got out, I noticed where we were. We were right near Viridian Forest! So I decided that it would be a good idea to go to Pewter City. I remembered there was an area of the Museum that was off limits. There was a tree blocking off the door, so I had Bellossom use Cut to remove the tree. To my surprise, nobody seemed entirely upset at my presence behind the counter, and a Scientist even gave me a piece of Old Amber, asking me to have it revived at Cinnabar. This is the second time I've heard about Fossil restoration at Cinnabar Island... Anyway, after leaving the museum, I decided to head down the path with the trees by Viridian Forest, meeting one of Professor Oak's aides at a small rest area. He offered to give me a Flash HM if I had 10 Kanto Pokemon registered in my Pokedex. I only had 6 Pokemon from the Kanto Region Pokedex registered, so I have to catch a few more to get it... I just need to catch them to collect data for the Pokedex though, so it shouldn't be a problem to believe in Catch and Release. After I caught another 4 Kanto Pokedex Pokemon and let them go, I took the Pokedex to Oak's aide and got the Flash HM. The aide also told me about Route 9, near the exit to Cerulean City, and Rock Tunnel, which is a pitch black cave in which the Flash HM might come in handy. But before I go on, I'm gonna take a break at Viridian City.

Takeru's Thoughts:
Cubone was a very powerful battler in Vermillion City. Learning Bonemerang was a great help, since the gym was Electric-types. Seems like Cubone's got a bit of a dominant male thing going on, because he's definitely been fighting a lot harder, and I'm impressed with his strength and courage.

Bellossom
Lv. 24
Male
Sassy Nature
Met at Route 24 at Lv. 13
Takeru's Thoughts:
Despite getting little use in the battle against Lt. Surge, Bellossom was quite good at fighting the opponents on the SS Anne. With Absorb, Bullet Seed, Poisonpowder, and Cut, Bellossom's truly a force to be reckoned with.

Wailmer
Lv. 24
Male
Jolly Nature
Met at SS Anne Docks at Lv. 18
Takeru's Thoughts:
What started out as a chance encounter with a very angry Wailmer turned into a capture that I don't regret making. Wailmer's filled with raw, untapped power, and I'm hoping that through battling, we'll be able to make use of that power.

* Walk on Water cheat. Only used to get Wailmer.

Hey, does this have to be pokemon that I've actually caught but never used, or can it be pokemon I think would be cool, but never actually used? If it's the latter category, I'm in.

Name: Tyranit
Game: Heartgold
The Ones That Got Away:
Spoiler:
Glaceon, Porygon-Z (I don't know anyone to trade with, so I need to hack in the fully evoved form.), Camerupt, Venusaur, Garchomp, Walrein, Tentacruel.

Number Required: 5
Any Specific Requirements: Something that can learn surf, the 6th pokemon will be an HM slave.
PS: Though most of the pokemon here need to be hacked in, I'm trying somthing different: I'll hack in one pokemon at the start, then hack in another after the first gym, another after gym two, etc.

@Tyranit: It can indeed be any Pokemon you'd like to raise, regardless of whether you've already caught it or not.

Sorry I've been absent for a little while, my internet at home has been broken for nearly 10 days now and Sky don't seem to want to fix it. I've added all the new challengers to the list on the front page though, so good luck to all!

Okay, I've started. Sorry about the small delay, my L and R buttons on my DS were giving me trouble.

Spoiler:
Started game.
Went to Professor Elm's house on mom's orders.
Chose cyndaquil as my (not going to be used) starter.
Got pokegear from mom.
Went outside, caught a level 5 porygon-z there.
Turned the game off after saving, disabled the pokemon modifier AR code, and started the game back up.
Went through route 29, and entered cherrygrove city. Got running shoes, yay!


Enough for me to post today.

Progress Update #1: Sorry for the delay, barely played my HG >_<. (Sorry..Dont know how to use the spoilers D:)


Finished breeding and hatching my Pokemon, traded them over to my ready to play HG, which was at Violet town. Leveled up Lapras a bit, and boxed my Kirlia with a Dawn Stone until the third or fourth gym, in which my Pokemon should be at its level (Its at level 26, and after breeding and hatching 5 Ralts eggs, and no male..Gave up XD). Trained Lapras a bit more, headed into the Sprout Tower, beat up all the cueballs, and then the uber old cueball, and then left. Made my way to the gym, and beat up Falkner and his fellow bird heads. Left, and headed to Azalea, upon which I gave up grinding my Pokemon. My team iss~

Lapras Lv. 15

Gastly Lv. 4

Kirlia Lv. 26

Geodude Lv. 5 (Insanely weak at this point..=.=)

Sneasel Lv. 7 (Also super weak, I cant even believe it..)

Pidgey Lv. 8 (My second strongest Pokemon at the moment, besides Kirlia. Its not too strong, but still stronger than Gastly, that only knows two moves: Hypnosis and Lick, which are both useless to battle with.)

Saved game, turned off.. THe end. Ill be updating my progress quite a bit later on when my Pokemon get stronger since ill probably play a lot more, had to do this huge report and a different project, as well as finish my website for a class, so didnt have much time to play yesterday or today XD.

So, it's kinda been a little while (about 6 months) since I updated this challenge, and I was kinda bored, so I figured I'd see where I was at so I knew if it was worth finishing or if I should post saying I should be removed from the list of challengers...and well, here it is.

Update #7:

-Mined up some more Heart Scales, taught Miles Ice Fang and Fugu Rollout
-Headed to the lake and saw Gav talking to Jupiter,
-Used a couple of TMs, headed to Team Galactic's HQ
-Beat Cyrus, got the Master Ball
-Saved the Lake Trio from Saturn
-Got the TMs for Sludge Bomb and Poison Jab, taught them to Devo and Fugu
-Climbed Mt. Coronet
-Cyrus summoned Palkia to...make the sky look weird?
-My favourite battle in the series (oddly in my least favourite region)! (Although I'd prefer if they'd handled it like the Player/Steven vs Team Magma fight)
-Gav and I easily beat Mars and Jupiter
-Cyrus was also pretty easy
-Masterballed Palkia because I'm horribly underlevelled
