First real update. Name is Dua, rival Bua.

Hacked in Absol on Rt 2 and named her Torcane.
Went through Viridian Forest easily enough, though I used all my Antidotes.


Beat Brock. It took a few Leers and a Potion.

Bought a Magikarp from the Mt. Moon PC and named her Kraken.
Went through Mt. Moon, where I caught a Clefairy named Pinky.
Outside Cerulean, I caught a Spearow for trade bait later.
Beat Bua on Nugget Bridge, then saved.

Team Dua:

Kraken the Naive Magikarp, ♀ - L13
Ability: Swift Swim
Moves: Splash

Torcane the Lax Absol, ♀ - L24
Ability: Pressure
Moves: Bite, Quick Attack, Razor Wind, Thief

Also have Squirtle, Pinky (Clefairy) and Spearow with me at the moment.

Hey guys, is it alright if I do Magmortar/Electivire on Heart Gold? I was planning on hacking a rom to get Magby as a starter, and receive an Elekid in Cherrygrove or something. Also change the evolution method to holding+levelling up with the respective items rather than having to trade.

Actually, is it possible to even get the magmarizer/electerizer before the Elite 4? Otherwise, I can hack it so that I can get them sometime around the 8th badge or so? What do you guys think?

Maybe Politoed and Poliwrath(Both evolve from Poliwag/Poliwhirl)! And Milotic and Gyarados(counterparts to each other!).

Edit:

Don't change it please.

OK, but let me put a limit on that. Hack one of them as the Starter, then put the other available sometime after the... third badge, and however you decide to evolve it, you must have seven badges before doing so.

Taking this challenge in Black, using temporary Magmortar and Electivire!

Talking of that, we could add to the pair's list some B/W Pokèmon, like:

a) Miruhog - Lepardas (Team Plasma's most common Pokèmon)
b) Nageki - Dageki
c) Erufuun - Doredia
d) One of the three monkeys (Yanappu/Pansage, Boappu/Pansear, Hiyappu/Panpour)
e) Gochiruzeru - Rankurusu
f) Shubarugo - Agirudaa
g) Wargle - Barujina
h) Ononokusu - Sazandora (not too sure about this one, you're gonna rape the game if you use them :D)

So, if you're going to add some of this pairs, I'll use one of them later.

Spoiler:

Cleared Rock Tunnel. Defeated a bunch of trainers and headed to Celadon City.
Defeated Erica, cleared Cycling Road, etc. Did all the stuff you were supposed to do.
Defeated Koga, then cleared Sliph Co. Took on Sabrina. It wasn't hard because of the Psychic types, but because of the darn Gastlys and Haunters. The only attacks I had that could hit them were Hitmonchan's ThunderPunch and Ice Punch.
Took out Blaine and Giovanni.
Took out the E4. Defeated Blue. Challenge complete! 8D

Various screenshots:
From the beginning of the game.

Update 1:
-Picked Marshstomp as my starter and had to use it all the way until Route 110 where I caught Plusle and Minun
-Grinded them both to level 23 and moved on to mauville
-Realized I was outclassed by Wattsons electric Pokemon so I grinded the Duo to level 27
-Somehow managed to score a lucky critical hit on Manectric and won the Dynamo badge
-Caught a HM slave Poochyenna for Rock Smash and made my way north
-Beat team Magma and then made it to Lavaridge and defeated Flannery
-Got outclassed by my own father in the Petalburg gym so I had to grind the duo to level 36 before I was finally able to take down Norman's Slaking
-Easily defeated Winona and started making my way to Lilycove
-Lost to Liza & Tate too many times and decided to call it a day while trying to grind to level 44

I'm not sure Alakazam and Gengar exactly work, but the rest I think have a solid case to be included.

On my challenge, I have made it through Nugget bridge and am grinding Kraken to L20 so she can evolve into Gyarados for the battle against Misty. I am taking it a bit slow as I have other challenges going on.

I don't understand how Gyarados and Absol "both being associated with disasters" is enough for them to be considered a true pair. Certainly Alakazam + Gengar have a more tangible reason for being considered a pair - they were the two Special-based trade evolutions in the original games. Likewise Golem and Machamp should be considered a pair, as they are the physical counterparts.

Also there are the version exclusives - do any of the following count?

Vulpix (Blue) and Growlithe (Red)
Ekans (Red) and Sandshrew (Blue)
Meowth (Blue) and Mankey (Red)
Oddish (Red) and Bellsprout (Green)
Scyther (Red) and Pinsir (Blue)

Ledyba (Silver) and Spinarak (Gold)
Teddiursa (Silver) and Phanpy (Gold)
Mantine (Gold) and Skarmory (Silver)

Seedot (Ruby) and Lotad (Sapphire)
Sableye (Sapphire) and Mawile (Ruby)

Glameow (Pearl) and Stunky (Diamond)
Sapphire - Pearl - Fire Red - Soul Silver - Black

Hey guiys, going to abandon the Magmortar/Electivire run (couldn't get the hack to work properly), but I want to do one on the Platinum version I just bought! What I want to do is a Roserade-Togekiss run, since both evolve via the use of a Shiny Stone. I may just catch a Budew in the wild and use Cynthia's egg, but i am going to have a look at the egg moves each of them get first. Anyway, could you please just let me know if this is okay?
