Oh yeah, I'm gonna play this with a small additional rule for myself: I'll hack in one Pokemon unobtainable in Johto every time I beat a gym. Which is most of them.
  • Ahem-- so, picked Totodile as my starter. It appears I can't hack my starter right away, so I gotta roll with it.
  • After beating the rival and getting some Balls, managed to hack in a Turtwig to start off with. Name: Quincy.
  • My cheat codes make every hacked 'mon I find start at Lvl 1. That's gonna be annoying. Took a bit to get Quincy to Level 10, then advanced.
  • After some trainers and an adventure in Sprout Tower, Quincy gets to a pretty high level, so I take on the gym. Despite the typing disadvantage, he takes out Falkner with relative ease.
  • Hacked in a Pichu at Lvl 1 of course. Name: Lenny.
  • Made my way through the cave place and to Azalea Town. Beat Team Rocket, and Quincy evolved into a Grotle.
  • Bugsy was a royal pain in the ass. Lenny was utterly useless because, well, he's a Pichu. In the end I had to spam Curse boost followed by Tackles to just take out his team.
  • Challenged my rival. He, too, was a pain, because of Meganium. It kept spamming Reflect and Synthesis, making it near impossible to beat with what I had. Not to mention PoisonPowder, urgh. Spamming Curse worked wonders in the end though, along with a few Potions.
  • Made my way to Goldenrod City.
  • Got sort of preoccupied with the Stadium Arcadium and Voltorb Flip (played for three hours straight on that) so I forgot to hack in another 'mon. I'll do it later. Currently saved at the arcade trying desperately to get to level 8.

Team thus far:

Spoiler:

Quincy
Lv. 21| Jolly | @Miracle Seed
Headbutt
Curse
Absorb
Razor Leaf



Lenny
Lv. 17 | Rash
ThunderShock
Charm
Sweet Kiss
Thunder Wave

I completed this on LeafGreen a while ago but I never got around to update it due to a lot of things going on right now

Anyways here is the hall of fame:

Spoiler:


Here is the final team:


Shelly|Female|Hardy Nature|Shell Armor|Lvl 56
Blizzard
Surf
Icicle Spear
Spikes
I don't know why I haven't used her before but I am defenitely using cloyster again!


Peanut|Female|Hardy Nature|Sturdy|Lvl 55
Rollout
Take Down
Flail
Earthquake
I don't really like the lack of moves it gets in third generation so that's why I probably never used it before, but she was still interesting to use.


Minnie|Female|Hardy Nature|Effect Spore|Lvl 56
Solarbeam
Poisonpowder
Leech Life
Giga Drain
An interesting typing indeed- I liked using her so I am defenitely using her again.


Lyra|Female|Lonely Nature|Rock Head|Lvl 55
Rock Slide
Metal Claw
Iron Tail
Take Down
An interesting typing and the movepool, defenitely using her again when I get a chance to use her again.


Iggy|Female|Hardy Nature|Cute Charm|Lvl 56
Sing
Mega Punch
Strength
Fire Blast
A nice little tank that could take hits for days- I enjoyed using her and I will be using her again in the future :3


Bruce|Male|Hardy Nature|Limber|Lvl 57
Reversal
Mega Kick
Brick Break
Meditate
An interesting and strong pokemon to have on team indeed- will try to use him more in the future.

I am not exactly sure on what to do - Since Necrum is the owner of this thread he will have to decide weather you can switch or not~

I like the team I got. Thanks! Anyway, I wanted to start today, but I had to start yesterday because I remembered that Drifloons only appear on Fridays.
  • After starting the game and doing some stuff, I sent over a Tangela egg over to my Platinum game. It came knowing some good moves, so training it wasn't hard at all.
  • Beat my rival and Roark with ease.
  • The Galactic Grunts were starting to become a problem, because most of them carried Poison types.
  • Barely beat Mars after lots of tries.
  • And after that I got the Drifloon outside the Windworks.

Current team:
Spoiler:

Tweedia (♀)|Level 17|Careful

Gale (♂)|Level 15|Naughty

I haven't been able to play a lot, but here's another update:

-Before going to the Eterna gym, I decided to get my next team member, Chingling. I caught one and named it Isabella. Gardenia was a lot easier to beat than what I expected.
-Jupiter was another story. I had to catch another member of my team, Nosepass (named Gonzales) so it could resist Skuntank's attacks.
-I decided to do the Wayward Cave stuff, and then I went to Hearthome. Fantina was hard to beat, so I evolved Gonzales into Probopass to made the fight easier.

Tweedia (♀)|Level 26|Careful

Gale (♂)|Level 26|Naughty

Isabella (♀)|Level 27|Mild

For you Darkhelmet I choose; Golbat, Mr. Mime, Electabuzz, Heracross, Gastrodon, and Dusclops.

I think they are a good spread of types, and I would think they can learn the HMs you need.

Thank you, I will get started right away. Just making sure because I dont see it specifically in the rules. Can I evolve the Golbat to Crobat or does it have to stay a Golbat?

Nazka, your team is:

Larvitar
Chikorita
Natu
Tyrogue
Corsola
Houndour

EDIT: I'm having a problem with my emulator, research must be done to fix it. Half the time I get into a trainer battle, the pokeballs that show up showing how many pokemon I have perpetually spin and the game "freezes". So while I work on a fix, I'm gonna do the challenge on FireRed instead. My entire team is capable of being caught in FireRed except for Gastrodon, would it be possible for me to just switch it to Marill so I can continue to have Surf? And I will start on FireRed.

Matze, your pokemon are:

Woobuffet
Claydol
Walrain
Manetric
Braviary
Weezing
Glalie

Apologies in advance if I messed up the HMs, I'm not exactly familiar with the movesets. Just going off type.

Name: AHMYLEGS
Game: Emerald (self-hacked for challenge, see parameters)
Mode: Normal
# of Pokemon: 6

Pokemon that got away:
Spoiler:
Ditto
Lapras
Shuckle
Magnemite
Gastly
Nincada (must evolve in Shedinja)
Castform
Porygon
Scizor(does this evolve from another pokemon? XD)
Lileep
Togepi
Growlithe
Dratini
Bagon
Beldum


Parameters: No more than two of the same type on the team, no more than one single type pokemon of the same type on the team. No HM slaves, all HMs must be able to be learned by the team. A pokemon can only learn two HM moves; if a Pokemon has already learned two HM moves, another Pokemon will have to learn the move (wanna free up some move slots so a single water pokemon doesn't have four HM moves). Pokemon will be allowed to evolve. I will be doing a quick hack to make all battles double battles and remove trade requirements/crazy unorthedox requirements to evolve.
