  • Pokemon must reach level 22 before set in daycare to breed. Two Pokemon of the same gender may not be in the daycare at once.

Oh Alex, how I love thee. I didn't really wanna do this, but honestly lol, I must. Updates will come far and few in between probably, because I am doing the event also, and warming up to my religion WILL TAKE TIME.

I WANNA BE ATHIEST. jk.


Sydian - Emerald
I plan on using this team btw:
Torchic, Roselia, Jigglypuff, Phanpy, Clamperl, and Heracross
And maybe ocassionally another party member, since this team is really spread out (seriously, Torchic vs. 2 gyms all alone then Torchic and Roselia vs. 2 more gyms alone)

Also, I just wanna point out for anyone else that signs up on RSE, don't hatch the Wynaut egg. It's a trap. You can't train a Psychic type to level 18. You'll go to Hell.

PS: When we finish, we should be popes, priests, etc. lolol

First update in an ugly spoiler:
Spoiler:
Bulbapedia was an ass and wouldn't open, so I don't get to use the Emerald animation sprites. Here's the 2nd frame sprites though, since I like using the right ones ugh. Also, I'm using Biblical names for the player and Pokemon. Pokemon with normal human names are temporary members. Pokemon with more thought out names with specific meanings are permanent party members.

So I started my pilgrimage...

Some party members will get deposited and used later. I just have late party members I want and I don't want a Torchic/Roselia duo run through most of the game. lol

Edit: Holy hell ugly ass white backgrounds. Dammit, Bulbapedia. y u no load???

Hey y'all, I'm retarded. Roselia isn't in Emerald. DERP. After running around in the grass for five minutes, I realized that. So I'll use Tropius instead of good ole Rosie. So yeah, as if my team wasn't spread out enough, lol. But anyway, here's where I stand. Just gonna raise these other Pokemon to help me out some more I guess, cause obviously, I have a long way to go til my next team member. 5 gyms with only ONE main party member. Hoo. Rah. tbh, I would solo it til then, but the fact that I can't evolve the Torchic makes it harder. It's gonna need the extra help, however I'm still going to keep it way ahead of the temporary party members in terms of level.

Also have a level 18 Taillow in the PC that helped me against Brawly, but I don't think I'll be using him anymore. I have another Geodude and a level 10 Nincada in there too. I was trying to stock up on Geodudes to see if they had Everstones btw. lol That's why I ended up not naming the one that's in the party rn.

As if it wasn't already challenging enough having Christian as my name...

Anyway, it's not like I have anything better to do, and just to be a total rebel - or at least as much of a rebel as the christian fundamentalist nutcase I'm going to have to RP here can possibly be, I'll play Soul Silver*. Because doing otherwise might signify that I don't have a Soul, that I already sold it to the devil. And that would be horrible, wouldn't it?
Unfortunately I'm not into that "RAAAAH SAAATAAAN"-kind of black metal at all, this would be the perfect moment for letting it play along in the background. Oh well, while it would have gotten me into the right mood for this challenge, I will have to do without.


*Mainly because that way I can't accidentally let a Pokemon evolve at 5000% speed

I'm not quite sure what my team is going to look like in the end. At all. The ways of the lord are mysterious.

#####

So, I played for over an hour and just now got some god damn Pokeballs. Is it just me or is the forced tutorial in HGSS the lengthiest of them all? Ugh, what a motivation drain.


By the way, why are HM slaves forbidden? Not even 200 years ago, most so-called "Christians" had no issues with Slavery.

I asked him this the other day. He said he was going for modern day Christianity instead of back then. It's not in the original rules though, so idk. But it's what he put, so oh well. Also, I think DP and BW have even worse beginnings/tutorials than HGSS.

lmfao I've decided my character Lekah is going on a pilgrimage through Hoenn. She was sent by her parents to fight the sinners of the region with her Christian morals and guidelines to how her team should look (made in His image!), which includes gym leaders and...DUN DUN DUN. HER OWN FATHER. Ultimately, this will lead her to Hell (aka: the Pokemon League) and she will fight Satan (Wallace) himself. HURR HURR.

So I converted the rotten heathen Falkner using an incredibly diverse team:
Spoiler:


Or, to put it more accurately, I was going to do that but changed my mind and burnt him at the stake instead, just to introduce him what he was going to do from some point on for all eternity anyway (and now does, of course) - No mercy for the infidels, eventually they will all burn in hell.


And now I have to hatch that stupid Togepi egg and keep the useless thing until almost forever

I'm in Fallarbor now. Probably going to mull around for a Skarmory to use for Norman's gym after I beat Flannery. Yeah, since that gym is next, that's why I bothered to keep Geodude and Marill around. However, Marill sucks and I don't know of any other Water types I can get at this point. I plan on using the Dig TM on Torchic anyway, so with a level 40+ Torchic and that Geodude, Flannery should go down like cake. It's Norman that's my main concern at this point though. But after him, I'll finally be able to get my second permanent party member, and then it's only up from there.

I've been both lazy as usual and unusually busy recently, all I managed to do since my last post was catching a Bellsprout, used it to convert some heathen hikers (How did that work? It was the will of god, that's how it worked), and traded said Bellsprout for an Onix named "Rocky". We shall call him Petrus, though*. As of now, Purgatory is punishing sinners while being at level 20, while the apostle is a couple levels lower. He is no true believer yet, he still has doubts. As a punishment and totally not because I am just lazy: No pictures, movesets or anything. Not that at these low levels there might be anything surprising I am using...
That - I would really, really like to put a couple of not very nice words here, not nice at all - Togepi still hasn't hatched btw.

*when I get along to playing some more, I might even edit the savefile and actually rename that Onix... I have no idea how that works, but I've done it in the past, so there must be a way.

By the way, Soul Silver is so slow, I don't even need everstones, and while I am relatively bad at paying attention to things, I'm not that bad. Who would have thought that curse might actually be a blessing in some way?

Why no Ghost types?
Christians do believe in souls and spirits ...
We do? We believe in the Holy Spirit. Most Christians (here at least, and I'm in the Bible Belt) don't believe in poltergeists and the paranormal. So that's why no Ghosts, I'm assuming.

Okay, whoo. In with Light Platinum (it's a hack).

I think I'll attempt image updates, actually. Hope that won't bother anybody.

EDIT: Nope, too much effort. I'm lazy.

I'll just post snippets or something.

A nightmare about legendaries and then suddenly im plot-relevant without even having a pokemon. This chosen one thing came on a bit too fast.

Okay, now Team Steam (the Team Rocket of this game) has marked me to death. Great.

Got a Bulbasaur, named Whatever cause I'm so binning this thing anyways.

Wait, what? A safari zone in the first city i visit?

Got a Trapinch, called Haniel. I'm going with the Kabbalah for naming pokemon here. Hey, it's Judeo-Christian.

... and it's first move is Bite. *looks at moveset* Oh. Oh.

*bins*

Since this looks like fun,sign me up for this on VW
Will hack everstones so I won't accidentally let them evolve,mkay?
Yes you can hack everstones.

Good for me,
Finally got VW to work and I'm starting to play now.

What's the challenge's view about Zen Mode Darmanitam?
And Appliance Rotom?
Also, just to check, legends even if not Drak/Psy/Ghosts are not allowed right?
No Zen Mode Darmanitam. Just keep the sheer force one.

You can use any rotom apart from the regular formed one. None are ghost types.

No legendaries. All must die, no matter the type.

Can you do me a favour and specify which game you're doing this on? Thanks

ROFL, this is hilarious.
Especially being a Christian myself, I find this really funny, since my grandparents are just like that.
I'm not offended at all because I'm not so strict like that. I have my beliefs and that's that; I actually don't "act Christian" at all, I just believe in it.

But this ain't a religion forum.

I might try this challenge on SoulSilver, its pretty damn hilarious xD Oh god, I said damn...Oh god, I said "oh god"...OH MY FU...

Oh, laaawd. This is absolutely hilarious. But god is looking down us right now with a heavy heart because he disapproves of our mockery.

jk jk (maybe? :S)

Okay, I am going to give this a shot. Can I add a few rules of my own? My character is from an Amish settlement that completely prohibits electricity so she can't use Electric-type Pokemon or moves. Yeah, maybe I am just making this unnecessarily harder for myself but oh well. And that's basically the only rule I want to add for myself. I will also try to avoid any items in-game tainted by sin.

I'm going to play Pokemon Emerald.

I taught Flannery some Bible verses and got a new perma member. I decided Cacnea would be better than Tropius, but now I'm missing out on a flier. I can Spheal with it though. The real challenge will be getting two more Everstones, one for Arphaxad and the other for the Phanpy I plan on using later. I don't think I'll be using Ashkenaz for a while now. He's the level I'm normally at for Winona or Tate & Liza. srsly. Also picked up an Ice Beam TM to teach Jigglypuff when I catch one. Hopefully their encounter rate is higher than Cacnea's and I can afford to hunt a +sp att nature. Then I'll probably EV it a bit, since I mean...well, come on. lol Jigglypuff. I made the wrong choice though. Cause I mean, when I Surf from Petalburg to Slateport, I'd stop by and get the Ice Beam TM in the Abandoned Ship anyway. And then I'd do the New Mauville sidequest and get Thunderbolt. I should have gotten Flamethrower. ~_~ Hopefully I'll have the money for when I get back around to Mauville though.
