And I just started a new challenge!
Spring on Fire red!
I'll upload my pics so I can actually IMG tag them in my post
And from now on all the gym leader fights will be in spoilers
Thanks for the hint, should've come up with that myself
Finally figured out a challenge and team for fire red!
I'm going with the Spring challenge this time!
I'm not revealing my team just yet!
The obvious choice for a starter will be bulbasaur
(since bulbasaur is my favourite I'm happy I can use it on this run!)
I picked the girl sprite, named myself Meri (no surprise there rihgt?)
and my rival Green.
Went to the pc and withdrew that famous potion that's always there
I picked up bulbasaur and called it Bud (as in flower bud)
My rival obviously thinks he's smart, oh whatever, he picked charmander
We fought and I won
I did the side quest and moved on to the Viridian Forest
After training Bud I felt it was time to go kick my rival's but again
Went onto route 22 to face him
I easily beat him, leech seed ftw!
When I arrived in Pewter City Bud was level 15!
While fighting Brock's trainer Bud leveled up and evolved!
Brock went down easily as expected
Spoiler:
Leader Brock Would like to Arrest!
Leader Brock sent out Geodude!
Go Bud!
Bud used vine whip!
It's super effective
Foe geodude fainted!
Leader Brock sent out Onix!
Bud used vine whip!
It's super effective!
Foe Onix fainted
Player defeated leader brock!
Skipping as many trainers as possible I made it to the next pokémon center
Caught a Zubat and named it Senz! (Like in to sense and sensation)
I've never even heard of flora sky before :O
And I've played quite the number of hacks
(mostly fire red / ruby hacks though)
I was going to do Emerald next so I would like some info on flora sky =)

It has a forum on the first page of the Hacks Showcase forum. Basically in a nutshell its a lot of the Emerald maps, but it has its own story, a few original gym leaders, and 4th and 5th gen pokes. I heart it.
PETALBURG CITY
PLAYER: Laure
BADGES: 5
POKeDEX: 18
TIME 17:11
Well I remember last night I did all the lava wonderful stuff fighting Team Magma
and I was like dayum
Did 3rd gen think it was cool cause there was more than one team
There is no one else to me that can replace Team Rocket
so meh
Got the gym and fought Flannery, and then right away I went to get my root fossil when I woke up
I decided to add Lotoad to my team cause water/grass is totally spring awesome
It evolved pretty quickly
and then I went to go fight the gym leader with the most coolest name ever. Dad.
I'm thinking about doing the ultimate seasons challenge with the following teams: Winter
Tyranitar (Green)
Magmortar (Red)
Abomasnow (Ice)
Jynx (Ice)
Frosslass (Ice)

Would these teams be okay? I don't know when I can start but I do know I will be doing these on Pearl or Diamond or Platinum.
Finally a DS challenger
All those teams look awesome I'm glad to see someone using more than 1 of the usable type in the challenges. Once you complete the first one I will add you to the rooster.
Oh btw guise I'm creating expert modes of each challenges (cause they just aren't hard enough :D ) so that way people who wanna simple challenge can come here, as well as the ones who like back breaking challenges. I only have one for Spring, if anyone has any suggestions for the others feel free to post them here.
I made some userbars (or whatever they're called) for the challenge.
I wish I could join in now, but life outside the internet calls. I'll try to join by Saturday at the latest after taking care of some important college stuff and figuring out what I want my team(s) to be.

Omg. Thank you. I love you.
Update on my game.
I'm irked cause I was working on leveling my Elecktrike, but my ipod powered off
so now I'm angreh.
Oh, and I just edited the first post to take out all the April Fools silliness as well as grammar mistakes so people can actually read it now
Im sorry, but i think i would change my version to FireRed… Challenge is still Winter…
I couldn't grasp the basics of Flora Sky yet - the Pokemon Location, The Wide Puzzly-Type Routes, and the Pokemon Types… It's hard to roam around the world… Unlike FireRed. It took me 3 days to get to the 3rd Gym. X(
Before i even get my 1st white Pokemon, my starter (Chimchar - Brown) has already evolved. My Catch Rates had been lagging and down (Couldn't catch Ralts).
And i even thought Monferno was Red, so I already trained my Cottonee (Green) to 18…
Sooooo… Imma start my FireRed. Playing in an emulator, so I will post ScreenShots and my Trainer Diary soon….
@Ciz It's alright. When I saw that you were doing winter I thought it wouldn't work out well anyway. Only way to get a good Flora Sky walkthrough is to sit through youtube videos, but if you ever do the spring challenge (I'm going to use Flora Sky for Spring expert mode) Flora Sky would be the best choice there seems to be a wide array of green pokemon to keep with the theme.
oh and Rule update: Our one champion doesn't have to do anything, but when you beat the e4 I need to know all your pokemon's moves. 1. It'd be interesting to see what moveset you went with, and 2. I guess it should be required since I have move requirements.
Time for my update:
Got the 6th badge fighting the bird chick. Really my only problem was that Altaria. For some reason even when I was competing back in the day with ev'd pokemon, and even now, once that dragon dance is broken out I wanna cry thinking I don't have a chance, but then I remembered these gym leaders are stupid and like to mess with their array of moves while I mess with its status.
Got that badge, then cried cause I forgot to save.
So I redid it and just had Shmoo and Langa (whose name will be changed soon) go on a rampage.
Before I was an idiot and didn't save my game I was trying to train an Electrike, but then I was like f that when I restarted and decided to go for Kcelon thinking i'd rather have a mixed attacker.
I raised that up fighting trainers, and then it was time to deal with Aqua and Magma drama.
And omg was the gym impossible
Spoiler:
Time to go fight the gym leader, this whole time the gyms haven't been hard because my pokes were high leveled due to me not having to train a team of 6 pokes, but now that I have 5 experience points aren't distributed as much as they use to be making this gym difficult. I was using half my turns to revive and heal while Claydol was spamming eq and every time I tried to mess with their status Sableye's synchronize would make me waste another turn to full heal it. Using leech seed on Lunatone was eventually what saved me from its wrath since it was building up with calm mind. Only 2 pokes survived by the time it was over.
So now I am here
and my wonderful team is
Breadfruit is my faithful HM slave THAT ALSO MEETS PARTY REQUIREMENTS SO WONDERFUL
Yay it's update time!
I didn't do all that much but oh well
Small steps count too!
Defeated the rocket grunt guy that claims to be an innocent bystander
When obviously he's not >.>
I caught a next team member
Snap the male rattata! (Inspired by Snap - I've got the power!)
It's adamant nature yay!
While on the boat Snap evolved!
My rival went down pretty easily since I did have higher levels
Rubbed the captain and obtained Cut!
Teached it to Snap (made it forget Tackle)
Not going for the Gym yet
Catching some dex fillers first for the sidequest thingies
Caught a Meowth and Pidgey
Trained up Pidgey so it evolved
Dumped both in the box
Caught my next team member:
Enya the female Diglett!
I decided to level up my team to about level 26
Seemed like a nice bench mark for the third gym
Enya evolved!
Challenge Update: New challenge updated to this forum
Anyway I'm done with Emerald Version bleh. It wasn't really that fun it turned into work ;_;
So aqua magma drama finally over with. They are no team rocket. They all just suck with their Mightyenas. The rain badge however was not fun. Even though my little lizard has thunder it was still difficult D:
More bullcrap blah blah blah Elite 4 time
Spoiler:
The Elite 4 was literally hell for me. I got rid of GanGan because its moveset wasn't anything special and the exp points I was using on it might as well go to the other pokes that have the same moves. I think I literally went in with 40 full restores and 20 revives, and beat the elite 4 with 0 revives and 2 full restores.
For a challenge where grass pokes were expected to go on a team, these ice and water pokemon get annoying quickly and I really only have one grass attack on my whole team, no fire attacks whatsoever, and I never found Thunderbolt so kinda sucked.
Astral knew ice beam though so I didn't fear the dragons at all
That was no problem, but I literally spent 2 hours trying to fight Wallace. 2 hours. His Ludicolo I swear took me 30 minutes and I made it run out of moves basically.
But bam. Finally beat it. With only one poke left which was my Von Ducky :D

Oh god that new challenge looks cool

Gah I meant Ariados
and cause I was thinking of your typical fantasy novels when I was writing it like Lord of the Rings, full of dragons, see creatures, and always a giant spider prowling around
I like making theme challenges, but if I made a new thread I'd have to participate in the challenges, and I can only commit myself to 1 at a time right now which would be the Season ones :x
Speaking of which Fall Expert Mode will be the next thing I release
So update on what I'm doing.
I tried to play Snakewood version, and it looks like a promising game that I have saved on my iPod to enjoy later. It just wasn't the right game to use for the Fall challenge, that and I've had enough of 3rd gen for now. Liquid Crystal I thought would just be a gba remake of Crystal (and I'm going to get a DS and Soul Silver for my b-day so I thought that'd be a waste of time), but it has all the pokes up to 3rd gen in it, doesn't require trading to evolve, and some extra stuff so I was all for it.
That and I could get my first poke right away.
Since I'm doing it on my computer emulator I totally forgot to take screen shots I'll remember next time I'm just sleepy right now, but I just beat Whitney, my Pidgetto is up to lv. 30 and now I'm working on a Kadabra. I can't make up my mind between what will be my next psychic, but I know I either want Umbreon or Sneasel. (I'm being a loser and only keep 4 to a team so they can level up fast). At the rate I'm blowing through this it won't be long, but then again I have to go through Kanto to, bleh.
Okay... well I tried to do fall with Liquid Crystal
and as usual I went forever without saving
ran into a glitch and the game restarted
boo
So yellow version for Summer
hacked in a Lapras
then I remembered it was an ice type
So Horsea
Before I fought Misty I got an Oddish, because Vileplume is red and qualifies
I just f'd up a second ago and erased absorb D:< so I gotta suffer til it learns mega drain
boo
It was easy to take Misty down with a combination of Horsea using smokescreen, Oddish using poison powder, and then absorb
Just finished with the SS Anne
PLAYER: Tidus
BADGES: 2
POKeDEX: 6
TIME: 9:31
Levithan / Horsea
Lv. 29
Gloom / Yuna
Lv. 30
and Ravenclaw from Tumblr has completed his winter challenge D:< I need to hound him for his movesets
Some screens for you from the final battle! Its should be said that I put the entire battle on Glalie. I healed him while using x accuracy and almost wiped out wallace with his one hit ko attack, but another poke was faster so he fainted and I cleaned up with truth's hyperbeam.
So here is my first travel Journal on Pokemon FireRed Winter Challenge!
* Picked Charmander as a starter.
* Leveled it on grass to level 10, but avoided trainer battles until i caught a Caterpie. (RED-GREEN Rule).
* Evolved Caterpie to Metapod. (STILL GREEN)
* Reached Pewter City, with Charmander LVL. 13 and Metapod LVL.9.
* Defeated Brock with Charmander's Iron Tail, but accidentally leveled up Metapod in battle, and didnt press the B Button to cancel evolution.
* My Metapod evolved into Butterfree, but now it is banned because even if Butterfree is a white Pokemon, it is still FLYING. (BUG-FLYING).
* Caught another Caterpie just to replace Butterfree and advance through battles.
* Ended up on Mt. Moon outskirts…
*Setback : I should've chosen Bulbasaur, but then again there is no early game (or before 1st GYM) REDs, so…
*Setback 2 : My Charmander will evolved into CHARIZARD soon… FLYING Pokemon are banned, so… Have to find another Red Pokemon…
*Setback 3 : No ice/white Pokemon before the Gym. Earliest WHITE is BUTTERFREE, but still not eligible due to the type it carries - FLYING.
Damn its hard to cope up with the challenge requirements due to the limited number of available Pokemon :D .
I'm pro in two days I beat Yellow version, I put up the poll though because I thought summer was terribly easy it just seemed like there is nothing really special to my team, but that expert mode for summer should be a bit difficult for someone.
Attaching thumb nails :D
Only times I really struggled was when I was leveling up my aero, but it happened quickly. Gary became a bit difficult. The rest of the elite 4 was super easy, but his Jolteon was using Thunder against everything, as well as pin missile. Eventually Lulu was brought out and ended the trouble with a Fire Blast
I voted for no
I really had a though time with these challenges
Actually spend quite a while figuring out my team before getting started
And I actually enjoy the part where I can get the team members
You have to keep in mind so many things it's actually fun to do
I'm still in a pinch for the fall and winter challenges
They are very hard to put a team together in the first 2 generations
I'm even having a hard time getting a team together in Emerald since I can't trade
Since the other challenge thread I was on got locked I'm clear again for Crystal
But I suppose another crystal run is out of the question
But then I'd pick silver which is practically the same >.>
I can hack in/trade anything in crystal...
