Figured I should post an update for my Alpha Sapphire challenge.

Update:
Spoiler:
I started my journey by naming myself Stephen and picking out a Mudkip because I for some reason thought the special Mightyena would have Ice Fang, which I thought would be helpful against Roxanne. When I got to the point where I caught the special Poochyena, she had Fire Fang. I named her Luna. After catching Luna, I grinded up to beat the first gym, which I did surprisingly easily. I just used Howl once while Roxanne's Geodude was out and two-shotted both Geodude and the nosey-one with Bite.

After beating Roxanne, I went and saved Peeko so I could get to Dewford Town (I now hate that town)! Have you ever tried going through Brawly's gym with nothing but a Poochyena? I was able to beat the first trainer because it had a Meditite and no fighting type moves, but was unable to pass the second one. I had to kill Zubats in the cave for an hour to evolve into a Mightyena. Now, as a Mightyena, I was able to beat the entire fighting type gym with ease. I used Howl twice when Brawly's Machop was out, healed up, then one shotted both the Machop and Makuhita with Fire Fang. Plus, upon evolution, Luna got Intimidate which sure helped a lot (and still is!).

After defeating Brawly, I headed over to Slateport City and promptly went outside to catch my second team member, Kenny the Electrike. After catching Kenny, I went and saved the Slateport Museum from Team Aqua. Then I went and started making my way up to Mauville when I was rudely interrupted by May. I easily defeated her team and them went up to Mauville.

Upon arrival, I took an immediate left, entering the route leading to Verdanturf Town. Instead of going to Verdanturf Town, I caught a Marill, who I named Jack. He luckily had Huge Power so I didn't have to grind out finding more Marills until I found one with it (he had already taken about 30 minutes to find). I defeated Wally infront of the Mauville gym and am now grinding up to be at the same level as Watson.

Well, I'm progressing pretty far regardless. Although I need someone to reroll a pokemon for me. Because I can't hack/obtain a swalot/gulpin in my game.

But here's my team as it stands now.
Dark Rising 2:
Level 16 Dragonite
Level 11 Skarmory
Level 13 Mudkip
And I'm currently hunting for that torkoal. The thing has a 4% chance of being found.

Instead of Swalot, you get a Luxray! I think these are available in game, I don't know anything about hacks so I pulled up a list of Pokemon in game. If it's not though, just tell me and I'll reroll it!

Okay. I'm at the 2nd gym and after my struggles of trying to find Torkoal I realized him and Walrein are unobtainable. So I need a reroll on those two as well.

*shrugs*

I can get to the 5th pokemon just fine but. That sixth screws me over because I'm against using more than 12 potions per gym.

Finished Random Pokemon Omicron! ^^
At least sort-of. I've defeated E4 and Champion, but there seems to be lots of post-game stuff. However I really don't feel like continuing this anymore and I think I'll make the end point here. The game feels completed to me at this point.
Overall I have to say I really love this game. The region is very well thought, places are interesting and trainers are challenging. I'd love to play this again, so I'll post a sign-up below.

Hall of Fame:
Spoiler:


Team:
Spoiler:
Puree, Pure Power, Sassy, lv. 82 @Medichamite
-Hi Jump Kick
-Ice Punch
-Rock Slide
-Zombie Strike (Ghost 90/90 phisycal move)
Puree was my best pokemon in the entire team, I always love using Medicham and this time wasn't an exception. Lovely moveset, great ability, the look. He just swept entire teams with Hi Jump Kick (of course when it didn't miss). I gave him Medichamite just for E4 and it was just perfect.

Glass, Levitate, Mild, lv. 73 @Choice Band
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Fly
-Dragon Claw
I like Flygons. She was a great addition, the second-best after Puree. When Puree fainted I could send out Glass and continue sweeping.

Hug, Huge Power, Jolly, lv. 76
-Superpower
-Waterfall
-Play Rough
-Dig
Hug was good. He was doing just OK. He was definitely useful in lots of risky situations. Also I loved sending him out just to see the "Go! Hug!", It's like I cared about the opposing pokemon :).

Ash, Static, Timid, lv. 74
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder Wave
-Brick Break
-Grass Knot
Because I hate Pikachu, I didn't expect much from Raichu, but it surprised me by how better he is than Pikachu. He defeated many pokemon all the way through the game and its Static was a nice addition.

Stefan, Lightingrod, Mild, lv. 70
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder Wave
-Flame Charge
-Custom Move (70/100 Physical move of chosen type, I chose Water)
Stefan was just there. I can't seem to bring Zebstrika to its full potential. Poor moveset and not that useful abilities made him a pokemon that fainted pretty often, so I hardly could lead with him :(.

So as I said, here is a new sign-up for Omicron ^^:
Forum Username: Kostucha
Game Version: Omicron
Number of Pokemon: 5
Exclude NFEs: Yes
National Dex: sort of, most pokemon from gen 1-5, from gen VI there are only Helioptile and Espurr evo-line and Hawlucha
Restrictions:
-No legendaries and pseudolegendaries,
-No Wobbuffet,
-No repeating types,
-No pokemon from my previous playthrough (Medicham, Flygon, Azumarill, Raichu, Zebstrika),
-No pokemon obtainable later than after 6th gym (I'll take care of that, will tell if there is something wrong :));

You think you're clever too...

Eww, those late game encounters. I think I can manage without Heatmor and Vanillite for a while though, so I'll accept.

Team will be: Gardevoir, Scolipede, Pelipper, Tauros, Vanilluxe and Heatmor.

RIP Gartoon.

Your team is Kabuto, Weezing, Dodrio, Kadabra, Arcanine and Butterfree.
Ha, this will be fun!

I can see kadabra being some what decent (As psychic types had only bug weakness in gen1). Arcanine seems best overall, the rest, eww...

and thanks I was waiting a while for a response ^_^

Yeah, I understand. Waiting's a hard thing to do. Hopefully these teams are worth waiting for.

I have little experience with Gen. 1 since I quit Yellow before the second badge due to utter boredom, so hopefully the majority of your team isn't a lot worse than I expect...

My first update should be either this evening or a few days.
