Here's my first update:

Started a new game. Obtained my first Pokemon, Vulcan the Torchic, that's the first of ten types down and nine to go.Had a good fight with may almost lost (thank arceus I didn't). Got my pokedex after waiting my whole life to get it. Got my second Pokemon, Patrick (pat for short) the poochyena, so that's two out of 10. After a little bit (30 minutes) I finally found a ralts and caught it. So now I have 3 out of ten.Finally got to petalvlburg and went to see my father. Wally showed me how to catch Pokemon. Then i was off to the first gym leader.Patrick died against a lv.7 zigzagoon. Too bad I didn't like him anyway. But he was avenged by my lv 6 Artemis.Got to rustboro City and trained Artemis and Vulcan for the gym. Vulcan evolved into combusken and now have 4 types. Challenged Roxanne. Artemis died from geodudes critical rock tomb. So I now have 1 Pokemon and 6 types left. Vulcan double kicked his way too victory.

So let's recap on the few events of today's Pokeymanz..

-Ran into Jordan as i was exiting Oreburgh City
-Ran into Team Galactic for the very first time up north of Jubilife
-Riptide evolved after the battle and learned Metal Claw!
-Went up the route between Jubilife and Floaroma taking out all the trainers in my way with Primal.
-Reached Floaroma, healed up, got the TM for Pluck from that little girl and saved for the night.

The Team so Far:

Riptide the Timid Prinplup
Moves: Bubble, Growl, Metal Claw, Peck
Level: 16
Rating: Same as before. Not much changed besides gaining a bit more type coverage.




Primal, the Lonely Machop
Moves: Karate Chop, Low Kick, Leer, Rock Smash
Level: 16
Rating: Not much has changed besides a few levels higher and replacing Focus Energy for Rock Smash, as I needed it to progress.



Alright, so.. I really don't know what to catch next. I haven't played platinum in such a long time so i've forgotten what I have access to. Any reccomendations? All I have planned for sure is that I want to get Houndour as soon as possible..

Shinx would be a good choice if you can train him up. Otherwise, Parichisu (spelling) is a good defensive choice. Also, Buneary and Misdreavus(in Pearl anyway) are decent choices not too far away. Also, Gible is found in the secret cave under the cycling bridge :)

I think I'm going to try this. But I probably won't be playing until tm or tonight.

Name: cbd98
Game: FireRed
Opt Rules: 2 and 3

But I'm thinking Bulbasaur as a starter, Pikachu in Forest, Growlithe at route 7, lapras from the employee, chansey/kangkaskan in safari zone, and dratini in safari zone or game corner. by the end of the game, i'll try to have this team.

EDIT: I had a little time to start. my achevements are in the spoiler.

Spoiler:
started game
named myself cbd98
named rival NOOB
named bulbasaur "Grass,,,"
almost a humiliating loss to NOOB because he got a critical hit, but Green... pulled through
got pokedex
old man taught me how to catch a pokemon
entered forest
caught "Yellow..." the pikachu
healed at center, going to grind my new "Yellow..."

Good luck keeping them all alive, I would advise maybe catching a Mankey at the start for extra support. Anyway, I have added you to the Challengers list.

So I played for a little while again, and here be the results.

-Loaded game up in Floaroma, make one last round to make sure I got everything
-Head over and beat the grunt guarding the entrance to the Valley Windworks, and the coward locks the door.
-Head into the grass and catch my next pokemon, A Shinx!
-Named him Overload and started using.
-Head on over to the Meadow and using the good ole switch in and out method slowly started to get Overload caught up.
-Successfully rescued the Honey man and recovered the Windwork's key!
-Took out Mars' 2 grunts and then engaged in a battle with her.

Mini-boss: Galactic Commander Mars:

-So I led off with Overdrive against Zubat and switched out to Riptide as she landed the Toxic.
-I hit it with a few Bubble's and then decided the toxic was hurting too much and healed it.
-Finished off Zubat with a critical Bubble from half health.
-Purugly came out and I switched to Primal (I'm still on shift)
-I'm thinking, "Well, this things fat, lets hit it with a Low Kick" and yeah, it does about 66%, activating the Oran Berry.. ON THE SECOND TURN!
-It hits me for about 30% of my health with Fake Out and another 30% with Scratch the next turn.
-At this point, I don't want to risk dying to a crit, so I do some Potionspamming (It did about 16-18 damage so I slowly gained health)
-When I was finally at the point where I thought I could survive a crit, I finish off Purugly with a Karate Chop!


-Team Galactic leaves and I head back to town to heal, and then accidentally fight the first trainer on the route to Eterna, where I beat his Ponyta.
-Afterwards, I quickly fight a Shellos in the grass with Overload and OHKO it with Spark.
-Ding! Level 15. Goodbye Shinx! Hello Luxio!
-Save and stop for a while.

The Team so Far:

Riptide, the Timid Prinplup
Ability: Torrent
Moves: Peck, Bubble, Metal Claw, Growl

Analysis: 6/10: Getting worse and worse as I go on, He really needs a better water attack than Bubble. It should be cool when I get BubbleBeam though.

Primal, the Lonely Machop
Ability: No Guard
Moves: Low Kick, Rock Smash, Karate Chop, Leer

Analysis: 9/10: Can do whatever he freakin' wants! No but seriously, he's solid, he can hit even resisting targets for a good 2 / 3 hit KO. Can't wait for Machamp.



Overload, the Jolly Luxio (What is it with these good natures!?)
Ability: Rivalry
Moves: Spark, Charge, Tackle, Leer

Analysis: ?/10: Was extremely frail before evolving, perhaps evolution has changed that fact. Only time will tell.

Just lost in the most embarrassing way possible

So I was going through Eterna Forest with Cheryl, using Riptide. The first set of trainers was a Pachirisu and Beautifly. I quickly Metal Claw the Pachirisu, forgetting it was electric. You guess what happens next.

Pachirisu used Spark.
Its super effective
A critical Hit!
Riptide fainted.

At this point, I'm in some kind of rage, I send in Primal and he gets parahaxed to death by spark and gust..

Then, I finish off the fight with Overdrive, and on my way back to Floaroma to give the dead a proper burial, I forgot I had skipped a hiker, and he fights me with a Geodude that I can do NOTHING to (I dont have Bite yet). So I try and spamtackle it down but it wins the tackle fight (Out of items from Mars, forgot to restock.)

GG game.. GG.

PS. I would love some more updates/challengers ;)

Right, two things I wanna say. One, I'm putting a BW Favourite challenge before this challenge. I'm doing it this way instead of the other way round because it won't take as long. Two, I know two people I have a feeling might like this challenge... I'll PM them

EDIT: Already done. We may have BenjiTheKid and Jespoke joining us!

EDIT 2: Forgot Jespoke already tried the challenge, so one person might be joining instead of two...

Yeah I watched Shofu as well a while back (Before I had BW). Not a clue where Friday the Trubbish comes from though... I spend too much time on the computer looking at updates on challenges, I need to speed up on Platinum section of my Electric UMC (Two badges, soon to be three :))

Um, yeah, a question. If you have pokemon in storage, and your whole team faints, can you carry on, or is it game over :0? Also, if you fail an Ultimate, do you start fully again, or from the start of the region (Depending if you wanna continue). Cause if you fail in the E4 on Black, on an Ulti, then people are gonna be on a rampage... Also, say you have a Nidoran, but using optional rule 5, you use it as a Ground type, and it faints, because it is not yet a ground type, does it rule out Ground (as you meant it to be), or Poison?

Yeah I have been watching him recently but have stopped now because I spent too much time wathing Youtube and I have just got my first full time job. Yeah, again I spend to much time reading other updates on this forum too but I am wayyy slower than you at completing challenges.

As for your questions, Nidoran can only be Poison type using optional rule 5 and you can catch another ground type whatever happens to it. If you aren't using optional rule 5 and it faints before it is Nidoking/queen then you can still catch a ground type as you have never had a ground type. Another example would be you can have a Chimchar and a Machop but Chimchar CANNOT evolve.

If you get swept and have Pokemon in your box then it is your call (I would personally continue). As for the Ultimate each you only have to restart the region, otherwise it would be quite harsh. Especially because the start of the game is proving to be quite difficult for people and sometimes you can be unlucky.

For the Trubish: Rebecca Black? If thats the case, it fits well :P

For the Nidoran: I think you cant use pokemon for a type they're not yet.
Correct it is Rebecca Black :D and you are correct for Nidoran :)

Just noticed you are waiting to do Bug Monotype on White... I really enjoyed doing that on my Japanese ROM and now Leavanny is one of my favourites :D
