Okay, let's see if I can roll this one...
Thank you, team confirmed!

I've decided to move this to a Challenge Log. View my progress here.
“You know,” said Arthur, “it’s at times like this, when I’m trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I’d listened to what my mother told me when I was young.”
“Why, what did she tell you?”
“I don’t know, I didn’t listen.”

Additional Rules: One of those Pokemon must be Blastoise, and I also need a flyer. Everything else, go crazy.

Hold on, WHOOPS! I forgot to mention that I didn't want any Pokemon that shared a type with another one, sorry about that. May I have a re-roll?

This would be a good challenge...but there are two rule discrepancies.

1. Blastoise is not part of the team, even though one of the additional rules stated that he has to be.

2. Kingdra cannot be obtained until the Nat'l Dex is obtained, so this Kingdra goes against my No Nat'l Dex rule.

I'm sorry that I'm being a Picky Patty, but I wanted to make sure I have a team that follows the guidelines I specified.

Sorry, My bad, completely missed the Blastoise bit. Also if you read carefully, It says Kingler not Kingdra. Easy mistake to make.

Your new team is :

- Blastoise
- Fearow
- Dugtrio
- Magneton
- Persian
- Vileplume

Again, I'm sorry for being nitpicky, but technically, Fearow and Persian both share a Normal-typing, and I mentioned that no two types on any Pokemon on my team should exist with eachother, sooo... :frown:

Restrictions:

Zero-G. You get:

Good luck with that team man.

Oof. That's going to be the probably hardest run I've ever had. At least my boy Heracross is in there.
Wailord, Heracross and Solrock are OP. Swalot is a good non super effective tank with amnesia and spinda is a toublemaker with utility moves. Tropius is borderline meh but other than that your team is actually really good.

Username: Strike The Blood
Game: Emerald
Number of Pokemon: 6
Exclude NFE: No.
National Dex: Yes
Extra: All HM's covered. Preferably not large numbers of similar typings. Pokemon with shared types but have unique dual typings are fine. (An example being Swampert & Starmie)

The Random Pokemon FireRed Challenge!


So far, my first steps in the fresh grass of the Kanto region have been quite stellar as of late. Obviously, I get Squirtle, and...for this run, I want to nickname all my Pokemon after Mario characters because why not, it's a random challenge, why not a random other thing that I can do, and so name my Squirtle "Bowser". Fitting isn't it?

Anyway, I beat Gary at the lab, and so I go off to set up a placeholder team until I have the resources to find all my assigned Pokemon by the end of the game. So of course, I capture Pokemon that I feel would best suit my team's needs. These Pokemon so far have been:

*A Butterfree,
*Goonie the Spearow, my first other permanent member,
*Mouser the Pikachu, my second other permanent member,
* A shiny Rattata,

... ... ...

A SHINY RATTATA?!?!?!

Yep, as luck would have it, without even getting to the Pewter Gym yet, a golden Rattata of sheer beauty and strength showed up right before my eyes, and I was lucky enough to catch the incredible specimen. I would have liked him to be part of my team, obviously, but a) Raticate overall isn't a good Pokemon, and b) he isn't part of the permanent team list. Thus he shall forever remain a HM slave, as much as I don't want him to be.

Anyway, after training up my team to Lv. 10, I beat Gary again, trekked through the Viridian Forest and all its pesky bugs and bug catchers, and hiked towards Pewter Gym, where Bowser did literally nothing but play with bubbles while Brock's Pokemon writhed in agony from the seemingly harmless soapy circles. It was almost as if Brock threw the badge at me. :laugh-squinted::laugh-squinted::laugh-squinted:

My team so far:
* Bowser (Squirtle) Lv. 13
* Goonie (Spearow) Lv. 11
* BUTTERFREE Lv. 11
* Mouser(Pikachu) Lv. 10
* Noahs Boi (Ratatta) Lv. 11

Masquerain and Medicham do not appear in pokemon emerald on any route. Would you mind replacing those two. Also I asked for all HM's to be covered, there's no flyer in that list.

I would like to say that you said that the national dex was ok for your game, so Masquerain and Medicham should be fair game, but very well.

That's my fault, I meant for the NFE and National Dex ones to be switched, I didn't even notice that error, my bad.

I shall also confirm this team.

Man, I just kinda forgot I was doing this, as school is catching up to me. Using 3 frail Pokemon for about the first quarter of the game really got to me mentally as well. Instead of a story-ish update, I'll go over the important parts.

I don't want my team to fill up all at once. Saving Mudbray/Mudsdale for my last team slot later on at Ula'Ula

Radboy's Ultra Sun Random Challenge
Part One - how did this take a month Good Times
Spoiler:
- Popplio was the starter.
- Caught Catshire the Meowth in the trainers school. Then lost to the bonsly trainer. (oh boy)
- Beat Teacher Emily (1 attempt)
- Beat Captain Ilima (2 attempts)
- Caught Erat the Growlithe on route 2. It had Flash Fire, which made a much bigger impact on the early game then I would have preferred.
- Sold all my revives
- Beat Totem Gumshoos (2 attempts). It would have been one attempt if Erat didn't faint during the trial and I wasn't being cocky (and if I didn't sell those revives)
- Caught Flitzy the Cutiefly in Melemele meadow, in time for Dulse.
- Beat Dulse (2 attempts). This took forever and was demoralizing. I also spammed X Items like I never had before.
- Beat Hala (1 attempt)
- Flunked the Mantine surf.
- Beat Dexio (1 attempt). This fight actually caught me heavily off guard
- Lost to the Carbink trainer in Paniola Ranch. Thankfully she can be skipped.
- Beat Gladion (1 attempt)
- Erat learned Flame Wheel (really needed tbh)
- Realize I can't catch Dewpider pre-Totem.
- Lost to a Dewpider and it's partner in Brooklet Hill
- Catshire evolved into a Persian (Lvl 20) - Notable as it has Fur Coat
- Beat Totem Araquanid after X Item spam (1 attempt)

Here you are.
Here's my progress after yesterday and this morning
Spoiler:

-Caught Nidoran right away and thanks to lots of scratching and tackling (and for some reason Onix constantly only bide and screech) beat brock
-She evolved into Nidorina and Nidoqueen in Mt Moon, taught her Water Gun and Mega Punch. She also learned Body Slam on the way to Bill's house
-Beat Cerulean rival very easily thanks to Mega Punch (didn't miss it once before learning a move over it)
-Ran through Nugget bridge and skipped Misty to go to Vermillion. Caught a Spearow and traded it for Dux the Farfecth'd
-Went to train Dux but he wouldn't listen so I went back to beat Misty, which was a 3 turn battle with Body Slam OHKOing Staryu and paralyzing Starmie before KOing it
-Grinded Dux until he learned Swords Dance, which led to him sweeping SS Anne Rival and Surge (gave him the Body Slam TM)
-Went through Rock Tunnel and ventured to Celadon, catching a Vulpix along the way.
-Got Fly and flew around grinding Vulpix up to lv 33, then gave it 2 candies to get it to Flamethrower and evolved it to Ninetales and destroyed Erika's gym.
-Part of the grinding was in the game corner basement getting the silph scope
-Ran through the pokemon tower with Dux (Swept the rival thanks to Swords Dance)
-Caught Snorlax, taught him Rock Slide and Double Edge
-Went down to get the Super Rod and went to Fuschia to get Horsea

The Random Pokemon FireRed Challenge! #2

Sorry for the delay; I was busy with college stuff among other things. Anyway, starting from where we left off (beating Brock to a pulp), I head off from Pewter City towards Cerulean, but not before I am given the Running Shoes that really should NOT have been absent for this long if they're supposed to be in the game, but whatever. Since I cannot catch a Rhyhorn to add to my team...yet...I settle for Cleft the Geodude (Keeping with the Mario naming here; Cleft is a recurring Paper Mario enemy that lives up to his name with the most fabulous of cleft chins...though all Geodude has is a cleft lip, but he's dependable nonetheless). Along the way, I swat away the Rocket Grunts without fail and eventually make it out and arrive in Cerulean. I grind a bit, battle Gary, get the S.S. Ticket, and finally take on Misty. Oddly enough, Misty is actually quite a tough boss; her Starmie now packs Water Pulse thanks to the Gen III move addition gods, and nearly wipes out my whole team. I am able to survive however, and Bowser, now a Wartortle, eventually finishes off Starmie to complete the battle. The CascadeBadge is finally mine, and all I can see from here is the road to Vermilion.

Team:
Bowser (Wartortle) Lv. 21
Goonie (Spearow) Lv. 20
Mouser (Pikachu) Lv. 19
BUTTERFREE Lv. 19
Cleft (Geodude) Lv. 19
Noahs Boi (Shiny Rattata) [HM Slave] Lv. 19
