Username: Sylvie18
Game: HeartGold
Gender: Male (purely because i like growlithe and houndour :L)

been wanting to take part in this, just had to find a working heart gold rom for my R4 xD

Had a bit of time while i burnt my dinner Dx

Spoiler:

-Named myself Kain and ensured i saved before picking my first pokemon
-I met Zero, a gentle Totodile who loved to eat
-tried not to squel like a girl over the adorable reactions Zero had when i spoke to it :B, i gotta remember i'm meant to be a guy here
-went to show off my amazingly cool pokemon to my mum before heading to the field
-on the way to Cherrygrove i spotted a potentially masculine looking Hoothoot that i just had to add to my team at the next opportunity
-also grinded Zero to lvl 8
>cried because the game froze<
-went to show mum zero(again) then grinded zero to 8 on the field(again) :L i remember this happening often with my last rom too, lesson learnt :x
-finally made it to Cherrygrove :D
-reached Cherrygrove and an energetic old man called out to me, as he dashed around i realised i must have been out of shape as i struggled to keep up...
-although he did mention something about 'running shoes'... why on earth i could utulize my naturally evolved ability to run unless i changed shoes was beyond me, unless.. maybe, just maybe my family was poor, and my current shoes were in such a tattered state that running in them would destroy them. yes, yes that must be it
-my boisterous and manly activities must have driven my shoes and my mothers money to so close to extinction that it was at the point where i could no longer run or rely on mother for new shoes. i see, it all makes perfect sense now,
-Luckily the energetic old man took pity on the state of my shoes, and granted me a pair of running shoes from his collection as a thank you for spending time with him
-at this point i realised my battery was low so i saved and turned off

Team: Zero the gentle Totodile (m) lvl 8
no item
Scratch, Leer, Water gun. Rage

looks like the story behind Kain so far is that hes decided to pay his mother back with interest for all his shoe spending sprees by travelling. he only uses male pokemon becausehe wants to hold onto the image that men are supposed to protect and treasure girls..unless they're his opponants in battle >D

So sorry I'm falling behind on things here, guys. School just started and I was away for the weekend and got sick. :( Unfortunately, things are probably just gonna get slower from here on out. Last time I played, I just grinded my team up, so I think Vulpix and Jolteon are around 18 or so now. Getting close to progressing at least! I'll hopefully find time to play during breaks between classes or something. n_n Updated the list, so if I missed anyone, please VM me (I'll see it quicker) and let me know, thanks! And good luck to all newcomers. :)

[Sylvie18]

had some time in between my courses so update time i guess :)

Spoiler:

- started in cherrygrove, rested in the pokecentre
- as i left the old man came racing back to me and gave me another present, a townmap app for my pokegear
- i really have no idea how i can repay this mans kindness, now i can run around without getting lost
- just outside of cherrygrove i saw a house, i barged in thinking it was mr.pokemons house, only to find it was
owned by an apricorn loving man who seemed to be down about the constant flow of people confusing him for
mr.pokemon
- i felt bad for him so i lied and said that i'd actually came to see him, instead of Mr.pokemon, this seemed to make him happy and he gave me an Apricorn box as thanks
-as i continued on my way to see Mr.pokemon i came across two young trainers having an intense battle. This battle was so intense that they were blocking the road and i couldnt get
through
- i didnt want to disturb them however, since fighting was a good way of communicating, i noticed another path on the right, it was larger and looked wilder than the path the
trainers were blocking, i went that way because i decided Mr.pokemon lived in that direction, and i have a lucky habit of always being right.
- i found Mr.pokemons house and noticed that somehwere along the way, Zero had lvled up so i gave him a highfive and went inside
- upon entering, a man who wore a hat indoors ran over to me and starting talking excitedly, mentioning something about an email from Elm. I assumed this man was the person i was
looking for. He gave me a 'mystery egg' but i had an uncanny feeling that this egg contained a very feminin looking togepi, so i decided Elm could keep this egg.
- Mr.pokemon then let Zero rest up before we returned to Elm, before i could leave the quiet observer from the other side of the room introduced himself to me as Professor Oak
- he spoke about a load of things that didnt really interest me, however, when he expected Zero and acted impressed/shocked (i couldnt tell which) i started to pay attention
- Professor Oak handed me a pokedex with a subtle wish that i'd complete it for him, then he took off. i decided it was time i should be leaving too, even Zero looked like he wanted to return to
the lab
- just as i stepped outside i recieved a panicked phonecall from Elm, which worried me, he asked me to return right away. Thinking the worst, i charged off in the direction of home, i needed to
protect Elm and the town!
- just as i was leaving Cherrygrove, a rude boy around my age with flaming red hair approached me. He claimed that i was a wimp and that Zero was far too good for me ( as if the pokemon
were my girlfriend or something) then challenegd me to a battle to show that he was superior to me.
- he had a chikorita, which didnt really worry me because my Zero was stronger, after a few attacks his chikorita fainted and Zero reached lvl 10
- after losing to me, the boy claimed he was going become the greatest pokemon trainer in the world before running off.
- as he left i noticed he'd dropped his trainer card, as i was picking it up the boy came racing back and snatched it off of me.
- Remembering that i had been summoned by Elm, i continued on my journey back to New Bark Town
- as i entered the lab, a policeman approached me and began questioning me about a missing pokemon. Somehow he had jumped to the conclusion that i was the culprit and was
about to arrest me when Lyra came charging in proclaiming my innocence (wow that policemen really wasnt very well trained)
- She gave the policeman information about a suspicious red haired boy, who sounded alot like the rude kid i had battled. I tried to recall the name i had seen on his trainer card..R...Renji!
yes, his name was Renji. I decided it would be best to inform the rubbish policeman about this before he tried to arrest any other innocents
- armed with this information, the officer left, closely followed by Lyra. With the incident quickly forgotten, i handed the pokemon egg to Elm, he didn't seem very impressed by it, but
decided to keep it all the same. He then suggested that i take the pokemon gym challenge. I toyed with this idea for a while then decided it would be a good way to test the limits of my
strength. It would probably be a brilliant way of gaining money to repay mum with too, two birds with one stone.
- i told mom about this idea and she seemed to like it, as she encouraged me an suggested that she would keep hold of half of the money i earned from battles, something that i really couldnt
complain or argue about. With everything settled, i headed back in the direction of Cherrygrove, where Lyra took the liberty of showing me a way to catch pokemon.
- Ran around for ages encountering a hoarde of female hoothoot before i finally found a male
- named it Yoru
- trained Yoru while searching for a male spinarak
- Yoru accidently killed the first one we found with a critical hit, which was a shame but proves it's worthy of being on my manly team
- finally caught a spinarak and named it Gale
- trained Gale a little bit, my team was started to look like one >D
- had to go to work so saved and turned off

Team:
Zero the gentle Totodile ( lvl 11)
No item
Scratch,Rage,Leer,Water Gun

Yoru the Brave Hoothoot ( lvl 6)
No item
Tackle,Growl,Foresight,Hypnosis

Gale the Docile Spinarak ( lvl 3)
No item
Poison Sting, String Shot

Its been a while since I was last able to touch my game. Sorry for the long gap...haven't done much. After getting to Azeala, I made quick work of Team Rocket and then beat both my rival and Bugsy. Wasn't much of a challenge as I managed to snag myself a Slugma egg back in Violet City.

Ilex Forest was an easy walk. Went through it with Slugma leading the way and burned everything that got in my way. I made it to the route before Goldenrod and decided to train there for a bit. Slowly I evolved some of my key members, Bellsprout is now a Weepinbel, Totodile is now Croconaw, and Zubat evolved twice into Crobat.

Beat Whitney fairly easy as well. Now I made my way to Ecruteak and I'm training to battle Morty.

How do I do that hover over image to get info thing? I wanna put the stats in for my PC Pokemon without having to do the same thing I do for my main team.

 

[Meganium]

Well, sign me up for this one! :D Since it's late, I'll get started tomorrow when I get the chance. I'll have my first update soon!

[Sydian]

Not a super update, but I played the other night and got Vulpix and Jolteon to level 25 and lost against Morty lmao. YAY? :)

Edit 1: Okay, this time I actually beat Morty, then I caught my next party member! I'm still gonna play tonight, but I'm long overdue for a good update, so here we go...also gonna post the ball they're in, cause you know, I realized that getting the right balls, even playing as a female lol, is a major part of the challenge...alright here:

Plater: Alli
Game: SoulSilver
Gender: Female

Megan / Bayleef (f) lv. 31 @ Miracle Seed
Razor Leaf, PoisonPowder, Cut, Synthesis

Kiara / Vulpix (f) lv. 27
Flamethrower, Confuse Ray, Wil-O-Wisp, Headbutt

Anice / Jolteon (f) lv. 28
Thundershock, Shadow Ball, Sand-Attack, Headbutt

Berta / Miltank (f) lv. 21
Rollout, Defense Curl, Stomp, Milk Drink

Gonna work on getting a Fire Stone, getting Berta caught up, and evolving Megan. :)

Edit 2: Added assigned genders to Frontier facilities. I can't believe I forgot them. @_@ Also, I think I'm going to leave this challenge as an HGSS challenge, just because if you do this in another game, there's not as many Pokeballs to get (except maybe in BW/2) so yeah. Hooray for game specific challenges! I will eventually update the list of Pokemon to gen IV national dex though, to allow for trading in Pokemon that aren't in the game normally. Also, I changed two of the balls. I meant for the Fast Ball to be for girls and the Level Ball for guys, and I somehow got them mixed up. So I noticed and fixed that. If you've already caught something in one of those balls, don't worry about it. Anyway though, that's all I have for today. Might make another progress update as I plan on playing SS for most of the day.

thunder: update #1 ★

Thunder

​

Per the usual, I start off at New Bark Town. Heading towards Professor Elm's laboratory, and obtaining my starter Pokemon. As my character is female, I must have a female starter, right? After 50 or so tries, I was able to obtain a female Cyndaquil. Naming it after our Challenges moderator Sydian. :3

Professor Elm wanted me to run an errand, as he wants me to go see Mr. Pokemon. So while I was travelling from route to route, I was also getting a head-start on training Sydian in preparation for the first gym battle. It was already night-time and there's only Hoothoots prowling around, so my plans to capture Pokemon would have to wait till the daytime.

As I reached Mr. Pokemon's house, I was given a mysterious egg, and Professor Oak gave me the PokeDex. I exited, recieved a call from Elm that one of his Pokemon was stolen, and decided to head back.

BUT NOT UNTIL HE SHOWS UP.

​

Rudy

So, I battle this guy. Spammed him with Smokescreen, and it was a piece of cake battle! He ran away, while I traveled back to Elm's lab. Named the rival Rudy after my friend from English class. Gave the egg to Elm, and finally left for the adventure!

Then Ethan shows me how to catch a Pokemon, which...still, I have no intention of doing so in this update, I decided to just keep grinding Sydian. And that includes the trainer battles, even battled Joey and his top-percentage Rattata. xD

After battling the trainers in Route 30-31, Sydian is now L9.

​

Current Team:

Spoiler:

Cyndaquil [Sydian] - L9
- Tackle
- Smokescreen
- Leer​

[BlissyMKW]

I feel unaccomplished just beating Red, so I'm planning to take it a step further by beating the Battle Frontier areas for females, but I'll be recruting a new friend for this last part of Tamika's adventure.

 

[Sydian]

YOU ARE TOO SWEET, MEGAN. :) <3 Our starters should be best friends!

Player: Alli

Layla / Lapras (f) lv. 31
Surf, Ice Shard, Confuse Ray, Body Slam

Changed Kiara's name to Klare after evolving her. I felt it was more mature IDK. lol And then I caught a Lapras since I realized it was Friday, so I won't use Dewgong anymore like I originally planned. And lots and lots and lots of grinding if you couldn't tell! So yeah, PROGRESS! :D Lapras was caught in a Moon Ball that I don't feel like looking for a picture of btw.
