The fact that you claim you'll have to trust us on that brings me to another thing i'm wondering: the note of people who go short on detail, i.e. they only make one post which covers everything for their entire challenge, they don't speak anything of what happens in important battles, etcetera. Not that I don't trust people who say they beat the game, but do you think people should have to at least provide summaries of some things that happen in important battles (i.e. Gym Leaders, villainous team leaders, Elite Four + Champion, etc)? In case you haven't seen from my posts, I always type full summaries of those battles just so it's made clear i'm not doing anything sketchy. Does anyone else think players should at least go a little in-detail on those battles for that purpose?
The reason I didn't do a large summery (which I normally do) is because the night I started it I had two days off from work and had nothing planed so I quite literally like ran through the game in like 16 hours so there was no time to update. I beat it much faster then I thought I would, also I am glad I did not do large summaries because I'm sure I wouldn't have hid it under a spoiler so I would have spoiled a lot of the game by accident.

That's the general rule, but if say you were playing a Johto game and caught one of your Pokemon post game, then obviously you could be using all your Pokemon viably without them being the same level. I think I'll adjust that rule.

no, I'm playing a sinnoh game and pachirisu-TBH-stinks, and it faints often (and is weak, so I don't put it into battle that much), so it't the lowest leveled. plus it has pickup, so It never had the exp. share.

Update
Spoiler:

Had a tough time with a trainer's probopass eventually scyther managed to chip it to death.
Got to celestic beat grunt easy enough
VS Cyrus
The Golbat was easy enough for Dustox while the sneasel was a kricketune job. murkrow was fast and tough but scyther was faster and wing attack was a clean 2HKO

Got to Canalave, Grinded on iron island tried the gym struggled against most trainers with beautifly.
VS Byron Attempt 1
Magneton swept most of my team with Tbolt till it finally died only for steelix to finish off my other 2
Went down the water routes i didnt go down before and grinded a bit off the old couple south of hearthome to around LV 40 got TMs Brick Break and X scissor taught both to scizor then heart scale taught it bullet punch,
VS Byron Attempt 2
Magneton died in one hit of brick break
kricketune reduced steelix's DEF just to make sure a brick break from scizor would kill it.
Finally came Bastiodon, i stupidly weakened it with Bullet Punch first when i shouldve smacked with brick break right off the bat anyway he got +2 DEF with iron defence so i foddered vespiquen and lowered its defence with kricketune before taking it out with one final Brick Break.
went to lake valor
VS Commander Saturn
excpected bronzor, got golbat
Vespiquen still killed it with power gem 3HKO
bronzor was a piece of cake with a couple of Attack Order's
finally the toxicroak was a clean 2HKO by dustox.

Heading back to lake verity

A sad thing happened today. I let my friend go on my laptop today and he (purposely) deleted all of my pokemon ROMs.
That means that all my progress on my Soul Silver is gone, and I don't really want to do it all again. So. I'd like to take my challenge off the list, as I won't be playing it anymore.
Instead, I'm gonna start a new one.

Username: Helio

I'm going to start with Emerald.

Wow, that's not a very good friend at all.

Anyways, I think I'm going to switch my challenge order to something like how jdthebud did it (I think) since I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm just going to beat all of the types in Gen I, then move on to Gen II and do all of the types there, and so on. So, cancel my Poison challenge in Crystal and just sign me up for every type in Gen I and I'll get to it when I can. Bye!

I haven't posted in here for a long time now. I got 3 rather large updates to post too >.<
So here goes:

Bug Monotype Black Run update:
Spoiler:

I have done a WHOLE lot since I last updated. When I last posted, I was in Driftveil, exploring.
My journey was full of events. In short, I had several encounters with N and his Plasma dummies. I won every time.
A cute, little Joltik joined my already awesome team. Joltik soon evolved.
I battled both my friends several times.
Kept it up with my Badge gathering quest and completed my set of unova badges. I honestly LOVED Skyla's Gym layout and hated Brycen's. Mainly because all battles were mandatory and... battle people inside an ice gym? Just... why? .-. I hated Drayden's Gym some more because of that stupid dragon puzzle thingy that had me spin around in circles a lot.
My cuties leveled up some.
After I got all my badges, I figured I'd go challenge the League, but Cheren had to ruin my plans and challenge me -.- Needless to say, his Simisear 1 hit KOed my entire team with his fire moves.
So, since he ruined my plans, I had to catch some HM slaves so I can go grab Larvesta on Route 18 -.-
That kinda got me bored so I saved before doing any of it.

Bug Monotype Crystal Run update:

Spoiler:
Named my trainer Kyuu.
Picked Cyndaquil as a starter (yes, I cheated and didn't pick my fave, little Chikorita, just to avoid Rival picking Cyndaquil >.> )
Did the whole starting stuff and obtained a Pokédex and Pokéballs.
Immediately went to catch a Ledyba. Trained the little one a bit before moving on towards Violet City.
Wiped the floor with joey's Rattata.
Battled my way to Violet City. Battled my way to the Elder of Sprout Tower. Caught a Hoppip to use as a Flash slave because why not? xD
Took on Falkner's Gym and won mainly thanks to Supersonic working wonders.
Went on towards Azalea. Ledyba evolved somewhere on the way. Dealt with the Rockets at Slowpoke Well. Went into Ilex Forest looking for a Venonat only to realize it was daytime x.x
Took on Bugsy's gym. Did the Cut HM quest in Ilex forest. Went to Union Cave and caught a Sandshrew to teach it Cut. Taught Ledian Headbutt.
Went about headbutting trees on Route 32 for hours, only to realize I was headbutting the wrong ones. Night time finally came so I caught a Venonat in the Ilex Forest.
Did some more research and decided to Heabutt trees around Azalea, looking for a Heracross. Use the whole Headbutting to train Venonat a bit.
Eventually found a tree that had Heracross and met like 4 of them. Fainted one, two decied to flee and finally caught the 4th one.
Used the route to Goldenrod and past Goldenrod to train Venonat and Heracross.
Luckily, the night ended and it was Tuesday so I took advantage of the Bug Catching Contest to grab a Scyther. Took advantage of the Contest to level Heracross up to 19.
Won the Bug Catching Contest with the level 14 Scyther that I caught.
Caught a Ditto and left it at the Daycare with Cyndaquil because I was bored.
Trained my 3 lowbies a bit then took on Whitney's Gym. Her Miltank required some stragety and some strategic switches until I finally managed to beat her.
Battled the trainers in the National park.
Chased Sudowoodo away. Obtained Rock Smash and taught it to Sandshrew.
And I'm still playing as we speak, so the update ends here.
