Yeah guys, this does end on the 31st. Sorry for any confusion.

Found thing while playing Argent. 300

But before that, I beat Faulkner. 100

I beat the E4 with an NFE team consisting of Braixen, Petilil, Zweilous, Porygon 2 (shiny!), and Togetic. Electabuzz was supposed to be on the team, but I accidentally left Golem for my Random team in the party. I didn't use him at all in this run through. I couldn't restart because I didn't save before the E4 and realized too late and didn't want to lose all my training AGAIN. Sorry, Electabuzz. :( 200

My lapras Gavaanti has exactly 25 pp in attacking moves, the E4 has 20 pokemon, and Lance has 6, making a total of 26
Gavaanti's other moves are Sing and Confuse Ray.
Gavaanti literally just OHKO'd the entire League using Body Slam and Ice Beam. Except Lance's aerodactyl.
Which we confused to death.)

And now you know what I do when I get bored~

YES. Haha. I'm pretty lenient with terrible names because pretty much anything that makes me laugh or think "why would you ever do this" is considered a bad name. Don't look through my boxes on HeartGold. I have an Infernape named The.

There's still more i've been up to:

Spoiler:

All four of these I did in Soul Silver. The first three I did yesterday night, the last one I did today.


Man, I don't remember when I last played my main Platinum, but I got Drifloon in it.


And I beat Clay in my Red Mono-Color. His first two weren't that tough, but Excadrill took a tad bit of strategy, although I had Intimidate ready.


And here's my character in X, so that's more.

Spoiler:
The NFE team that I used - They were pretty strong!


Ended up naming her Fantina because I was so out of name ideas xD

Congratulations! You just learned what my real life name is.



She was easier that I thought she'd be :o

I didn't name them since I cannot use them because I am doing a Nuzlocke~

I don't care about EV's or IV's - I play for fun not competitive.
I don't own consoles - I play on emulators on my computer.

Sadly Tilde was from before this challenge started. Also I hope I can use Eevee I had before the challenge... I have over a box in Bank, mostly from WT, I didn't want to breed more. If not, then I'll breed some and be back for my 100 points! :p

... Does playing in a supermarket whilst shopping count as a "strange location"?
Does the photo count if the only part of you visible is part of your hand (and your game)?

(Also, we managed to actually get a REALLY terrible nickname in WT, in addition to "F" the zubat: GURGL SLURP the azurill (sic))

Not much, but I did do these:

Spoiler:

Rematched Candice in my main Platinum version, swept her with my Level 100 Salamence. Not much to report.


And I beat Skyla in my Red Mono-Color, which was super frustrating. But I won after at least three tries.

Hey guys, I'll be a bit mia for an unknown amount of time. I'm without a laptop so if you need something answered quickly, please ask Necrum.

I beat the E4 with my random team btw so that's 200. I haven't done anything else cause it's hard to keep up with things since my checklist was on my computer.

Beat a couple gyms while cruising through Volt White 2, so that's an extra 200 points I guess.

Don't really feel like doing this anymore though, so my final score will probably be 4300

Oh wait-- actually randomly encountered a shiny Foongus a few minutes ago. Just remembered. So make that 4600
