Currently about to take on the Elite 4 and Blue.

Note: I would have updated sooner, but having no internet for the past 3 days I have just been playing this pretty much straight! So I have made quite a bit of progress.

I've got a question, does the challenge end once I have beat the E4 the first time. Or does it end once I have beaten them the second round after going through the sevii isles? :)

EDIT
Beat the Elite 4:

Couldn't find my DS charger for nearly two weeks, but it finally turned up, so I'm back at it again.

UPDATE #3:
Spoiler:

  • Defeated the Winstrate Family to earn a Macho Brace
  • Made my way through Route 111/113 to get to Fallarbor
  • Saved Prof. Cozmo from Team Aqua at Meteor Falls
  • Defeated Team Aqua at Mt. Chimney, returned the Meteorite
  • Beat Flannery to earn the Heat Badge
  • Received the Go-Goggles from May
  • Retreived Nijax from the Day Care and deposited Brule
CURRENT PARTY:
Spoiler:


Brule - Level 32 (in Day Care)
Strength, Ember, Double Kick, Peck


Nijax - Level 34
Slash, Fury Swipes, Fury Cutter, Swords Dance


Illori - Level 26
Moonlight, Quick Attack, Attract, Secret Power


Zoun - Level 14 (HM Slave)
Rock Smash, Tail Whip, Headbutt, Cut

Haven't gotten all that much further ahead, but I wanted to at least get a little bit out of the way after not playing for a while. Next stop is to try and earn enough coins for some TMs at the Game Corner. Hooray for gambling!

Update 2

This thread got kicked off my subscription list for some reason lol. Anyways. I still only have my starter Pokemon, since I failed to plan a Pokemon that I can grab early on. Darn the letters in my username. Since Ivysaur is my only Pokemon, you could expect that it's a little over-leveled. That would be a huge understatement, because he is currently level 29 and I only just beat the second Misty. I haven't even left Cerulean yet. If it evolves to a Venasaur before I get my first Pokemon I'm going to die laughing. Since he is twice the level of most Trainer Pokemon, he is pretty much an unstahpable juggernaut that mows down every single Pokemon in his path. I probably seem like a huge troll to all the NPC Trainers. Only my rival managed to give me any trouble and that's because he has 4 decently leveled Pokemon and two of which have a type advantage over Ivysaur. I'm going to be sad once I get my first planned team member and I have to put Ivysaur in the PC. Oh well.

Current Team
Spoiler:

Ivysaur Lv29 (lolwut, I'm only in cerulean city.)

Planned Team

Haven't had as much time to work on the challenge as I've wanted to, but I've got a couple of days off now, so I should be able to knock out a big chunk of it.

UPDATE #3:
Spoiler:

  • Decided against putting Brule in Day Care
  • Trained in the Route 111 Desert, getting a Root Fossil
  • Backtracked to the Petalburg Gym
  • Beat Norman to earn the Balance Badge
  • Evolved Brule into a Blaziken
  • Obtained Surf from Wally's parents
  • Did the New Mauville sidequest for Wattson, in the process...
  • Caught a Voltorb in New Mauville, nicknamed it Esplo
  • Ditched Zoun as an HM Slave
  • Caught a Marill (named Merra) and a Tropius (named Terra) as my new HM slaves
  • Evolved Esplo into an Electrode
CURRENT PARTY:
Spoiler:


Brule - Level 39
Strength, Blaze Kick, Double Kick, Peck


Esplo - Level 36
Sonicboom, Spark, Selfdestruct, Rollout


Nijax - Level 35
Slash, Fury Swipes, Fury Cutter, Swords Dance


Illori - Level 35
Moonlight, Quick Attack, Attract, Secret Power


Terra - Level 26 (HM Slave)
Cut, Razor Leaf, Rock Smash, Flash


Merra - Level 20 (HM Slave)
Surf, Strength, Water Gun, Rollout

My original plan was to integrate HMs evenly throughout the team, but that idea's been put on the backburner for now in favor of HM slaves. I probably won't need Tropius anymore once I get my Rhydon and Dodrio, but Marill'll likely be sticking around since I've got no Water types.

Update 3

Badges: 3

Kay, this is update numbuh three of my supah-fantabulous adventure. I defeated Volkner, bringing my badge count up to three. I bet you're wondering what level that Ivysaur is now, amirite? Well, Venasaur is now level 38. Holy crap-balls thats OP. Luckily for any NPC Trainer, I finally caught one of my planned team members and I had to box Venasaur. I caught a Voltorb just outside Rock Tunnel. After catching Voltorb I realized that I would have to proceed through Rock Tunnel with an undertrained Electric-type. Yay. Oh, I also caught a Bellsprout so I could teach it Cut. I need to just start catching some random Pokemon, because I have to catch a certain amount to get items from Prof. Oak's aids that are all over the place. They wouldn't be part of the team, but I got to catch a certain amount to get each item from the aids. Like Flash, which if I don't get will make Rock Tunnel a million times worse. Well, I think that's it, I saved just outside the entrance to Rock Tunnel.

Voltorb Lv18

Bellsprout Lv13 (HM Slave)

Yep, you don't have to include a Pokemon with the letter Y in your party since there's no Pokemon in Hoenn that starts with Y :P

I'm kind of interested in this. Probably I'll start one after I finish my Blastoise Solo Run.
My username mostly is TeunCrn. What if I want to do this challenge on Gold, Silver or Crystal? Can I use Typhlosion, when its pre-evolutions are not with a T?

So what would I do about the letter I? I have no other letters left. Should I use my second C or just wait until I obtain Igglybuff?

Overall, strong team. My team will be complete very late in the game, however.
Go play Pokemon Theta Emerald EX!
