update time!

After hackin in the zubat at lvl 5, I spent about an hour leveling it up to 16 so it could learn Bite, after that Brock was pretty easy

update 2!

After brock, I caught my HM Slave Nidoran, then I traveled through Mt. Moon, leveling Zubat up to 22 and evolving it to Golbat, after I got out of there I immediately crossed the nugget bridge and caught an Abra, then taught it thief and leveled it up to 16 so it could evolve into Kadabra. Kadabra made it through Misty's gym with confusion until she sent out Starmie, Golbat took care of it though!

Update # 3
Firstly I traded Kadabra out and in for my Alakazam. Got the S.S Ticket from Bill, went down to the S.S. and battled through it, Alakazam and Golbat took turns sweeping trainers until I got to my rival, he was easy as pie! After I got cut from the captain I immediately swept Lt. Surge's gym with Alakazam (he never even got hurt, only paralyzed)

Update #4

Went back to cerulean and headed over to the rock tunnel (without Flash), made my way through it, battled my rival in Pokemon Tower (still super easy), then headed underground to Celadon and quickly beat Erika's gym (Alakazam was mvp again)

Update #5

After Erika I kicked Team Rocket out of the game corner, went to saffron to battle the fighting gym, then went back to Pokemon Tower to get the poke flute. With the poke flute I made my way over to Fuchsia City, got Surf and strength from the safari zone, beat Koga with Alakazam sweeping without taking damage again (I do train my Golbat but Alakazam has such a high sp. Attack.)

I plan on finishing this challenge today!

I did it!
Update #6
After beating Koga I went to Seafoam Islands and caught my seel at lvl 30, then leveled it up till it evolved. After that I went back to Saffron to take on Sabrina's gym, mostly to level up my Dewgong, Alakazam once again was mvp but Golbat finished her off.

Update #7
flew back to pallet, surfed to Cinnabar, got the Secret Key from the mansion, beat blaine, forgot to screenshot immediately after but oh well, then Bill took me to some weird numbered islands...

Update #8
After I escaped from Bill the maniac, I went to Viridian to discover that Giovani was the gym leader :O, Dewgong swept him this time (Ice > Ground) after that I traveled through Victory Road

Final Update (#9)
I arrived at the Indigo League a bit underleveled but after some losses I finally made it to my Rival where once again, Alakazam was my best Poke, but it was a close battle

Time: 33:40
Team MVP: Alakazam

Here's the final battle:

Finally updated the thread :D Good work guys and keep it up!

By the way guys, if you're using an emulator and you have a pokemon that can't evolve unless by trade then I completely allow you to force evolve it via hacking, that's no problem at all. Also, if you want to evolve a pokemon to use as an HM slave, that's also completely fine, just don't use it in trainer battles.

I've been here 6 years... Wow I'm old.

You can only do this challenge if you accept the rule I'm giving you.

Hack in ONE as your starter, hack in the second into the wild after your SECOND gym battle, and the third after your 4th battle. Since you're hacking in all three this limitation is required.

I may start on this challenge very soon, but I'm gonna do it differently.

I've been wanting to Lets Play a Pokemon game on my channel for some time now, except that they are all the same. Vanilla and basic. While there is nothing wrong with this, I want to do things differently. I've been looking for Hard Hacks of games, specifically Yellow, Crystal, Emerald. I.e. The same generation enhanced remakes.

Since the only one I may have any chance of finding is Emerald, I am gonna do challenges and I love the idea for yours.

I haven't decided yet.

About the team, once I catch the Pokemon am I stuck with them forever? I.e. My starter, then I catch a Pidgey then a Weedle. Would I be stuck with these? Or can I catch more to replace them? Ignoring the 3 HM Slaves of course.

So I defeated all 8 gyms, but my dragonair and Jynx are still very under levelled. My Charizard is at level 60, which should be fine but I will struggle if I don't train dragonair and jynx up. But the good thing about Leaf Green is that I can use VS Seeker so it's easy to grind. I could also do some EV training along the way.

I'll be using the original legendaries form gen I... Since Magmar is not available in FR, I'll hack him into the starters. I'll have to wait on Jynx till I get a Poliwhirl, then trade for it in Cerulean, assuming in-game trades are allowed? Excited to do this challenge, looks fun.

Pokémon Emerald - Triple Threat Challenge
UPDATE # 1 - The Gecko, The Boy, The Mouse and the ugly update
(css coming soon)
So, let's skip the useless intro and start with the truck. First, I roamed around the truck, then went outside to my new home. Mom welcomed me, then I set my clock. After all that, I went downstairs to see my dad on TV, unfortunately I missed it. Then I went to my neighbor's house to introduce myself to Prof. Birch's daughter. Then, I went North, only to find Professor Birch getting chased by a Zigzagoon. I saw his bag, then picked Treecko, of course. I battled the weak Zigzagoon, and I won. Eventually, he gave me the Treecko. My next mission was to see May, but before that, I trained my Treecko to Level 7, and then toured myself across Oldale Town.

(Um, yeah, I don't think you could see footprints in the grass.)
I was ready to battle May, she was pretty strong, to be honest. Anyway, I headed back to the lab to obtain a Pokédex, apparently he gave May one as well. Then I healed my Pokémon at the Pokémon Center. I went to the route west of Oldale Town, and there were many trainers to battle. That route made my Treecko grow to level 10. So, I arrived in Petalburg City. I healed, then talked to this profile collecting guy.
"I AM AN ABSENT TREECKO"
Apparently, I couldn't find mind. Or I was blind.
I went to the gym, helped Wally the Hacker who caught a Ralts then dashed away. Met Scott, then started to hunt for a Marill. I found one, but it was hard to catch. But I caught it after three to four throws. I healed my Pokémon, bought more Pokéballs, trained Marill to level 7, and I'll end this update here I guess.

TEAM:


Marill ♂
- Level 7
Nature: Calm
Ability: Huge Power
Moves: Tackle, Defense Curl, Tail Whip


Treecko ♂
- Level 10
Nature: Hasty
Ability: Overgrow
Moves: Pound, Leer, Absorb, Quick Attack

Do you not understand the challenge.... You choose three pokemon to catch, then you start the game, you choose a starter, then you catch your team whenever and wherever you like without hacking.

To make the Elite Four even harder, I've turned my Charizard into an HM slave. My dragonair is at level 40 now thanks to grinding. I reached Victory Road and then flew back to Viridian city. I want all three of my pokemon to be at least around 50-65 before I go into the Elite Four.

Also considered making dragonair evolve, I love her design, but dragonite's movepool is really sweet.

Pokémon Emerald - Triple Threat Challenge
UPDATE # 2 - Team Aqua and Nosepass

Entered Petalburg Woods
Battled a trainer, won.
Battled a Wurmple. He was pretty easy, but left my Marill poisoned. Now, I'm walking to the center with the speed button, as running would make it worse. I exited from the woods. I checked Marill, with four hit points left. I checked my bag, no antidotes. After a while, I checked it again, I realized I had a Pecha Berry. I fed him one and used my two Oran Berries on a Marill.
I went back to the woods. Then I saw a Shroomish guy, sooner, he was being attacked by a Team Aqua grunt, who wanted those papers. I battled, and defeated the grunt, and Marill grew to level 9. I defeated another trainer, who left Marill with no useful moves, since Tackle was almost running out of PP, and left my Treecko with 1 HP.

I went out of the forest, went to the flower shop, got a Wailmer pail, and trying to avoid trainer battles. I only battled one Rich Kid, his Zigzagoon was pretty weak, and the twins who were weak as well. One of those trainers (forgot) made my Marill level 10. Finally, I arrived in Rustboro City. I healed my Pokémon, got Cut, taught it to Treecko. Now I'm ready to face the gym, I beat those gym trainers for some EXP, and walked to the gym leader.
