Triple Threat Challenge!

Hello, I'm the Doctor! This challenge is known as the Triple Threat challenge and it's been around for quite sometime, I was the original creator of this challenge a few years ago (back when I was The Opera Ghost) and sadly due to school work I had no time to keep up with it, it was then revived (not by me) but that died too.

SO NOW, FOR THE THIRD TIME, IT RETURNS GLORIOUSLY!.


Rules (MUST READ)
  • You can only use THREE Pokemon (hence the triple threat thing duh)
  • These Pokemon can be any type, any colour, there are no limitations with the exceptions of legendaries (if you wanna use three Magikarps then go for it.)
  • Legendaries are allowed but only ONE per team ( after all, a team of three legendaries isn't much of a challege is it?)
  • Put the word "Geronimo" in your sign-up to prove you've read the rules. (Seriously)
  • Hacks are allowed but only official hacks (such as Blaze Black etc, no Pokemon Orange Tarantula version)
  • YOU MUST NICKNAME YOUR POKEMON, it makes it more memorable <3
  • You can do an Ultimate Run through every region with the same team.
  • You can have up to 3 HM Slaves, however they must never battle ( unless it's a triple battle and you don't have all three main pokemon yet ) and you may only take ONE into the Elite 4 with you as a revive slave.

Your challenge ends when you defeat:

Accepted. Any yeah you can have three HM slaves if you so desire but they can't be used in any battle and you can only take one into the elite 4 as a revive slave if needed.

Hacks, duh. I hope this is alright, but it says in the rules there are no limits to what three you can pick, besides the legendary rule.
Yeah it's fine, I just wanted to know how you'd get them.

Geronimo.

I'm assuming I can trade the starters on at a low level/in an egg. That is the case, right?

EDIT: Changed to just Kanto. I may change back to Ultimate later.

DOUBLE EDIT: Ignore this post. I'm no longer participating.

"Geronimo"

I had actually started this a while ago, using an emulator on my phone, I was doing the Ultimate Challenge with Vaporeon, Ampharos, and Arcanine. I was browsing games on my phone the other day and came across my save file on my Crystal game.

I don't know if this will count, as I don't have my screenshot to prove it, since I cant screenshot on my phone with that, but I defeated Red tonight, with my level 50 Arcanine, level 49 Ampharos, and level 49 Vaporeon.

It took Vaporeon absorbing ALL of Espeon's psychics, Snorlax's Body slams, and Snorlax's snores. Once I got to Charizard/Blastoise/Venusaur, it was all over but the crying. Used probably close to 30 Hyper Potions and 15 full restores.

Gonna move on to Fire Red now.

So, I guess I should do an official sign up:

Gary has been defeated in Fire Red! God the fast forward button on VisualBoyAdvance makes these runs so fast, I really should stop abusing it lol 700% speed is nothing to joke with. In a matter of 3 hours, I went from finishing the Pokemon Tower in Lavender, to League Champion

Can't post links and images until I've made more posts, will edit them in when I get there.

Final Team vs Champion Gary:

Sheep-eh, Male Naughty Amphoros level 50
Ability: Static
Thunderpunch
Thunder Wave
Brick Break
Strength

ButtStalyn (Hurray for Borderlands 2), Male Quiet Vaporeon level 53
Ability: Water Absorb
Acid Armor
Aurora Beam
Surf
Bite

Prof Barks, Male Naive Arcanine level 51
Ability: Intimidate
Bite
Extremespeed
Flamethrower
Dig

Thing I learned, as much as I love Vaporeon, I've never had to seriously use it as a tank, and good lord, can Vaporeon tank. With acid armor, he was taking attacks from pokemon 5 levels above him for 15 damage to his 200+ HP.
