Combined Pokemon Solo Challenge Thread

[Volga]

I know this is crazy, but I am going to aim for solo challenges for every fully-evolved Pokemon in their respective generations.

And hopefully these sign-ups are okay. :)
I'm going to do all Grass Starters first, then Fire, and finally Water.

Update #2: Venusaur - Soul Silver
I think I've never did a solo run on Heart Gold/Soul Silver before (though I did try to do a Golduck one) and I can't remember what my reason was as to not to. I quite enjoye the game and of course the graphics are nicer to look at than Gold, Silver and Crystal.

I finally managed to start Pokemon Y for my Ultimate Jynx run. I bred myself a Smoochum on my X with the egg moves Fake Out and Nasty plot, traded it in to my Y and I'm just before the first gym with Bewsa the Smoochum. I will update again when I finish the game :)

EDIT:
I updated the OP everyone! :)

I decided to just finish my Shiftry challenge, except for XD, which will happen eventually.
Sadly, I don't have pics, but I have details of each champion fight. :)

Aww, that's what I wanted to be *~*

Anyway, I'm still working on a good name for Umbreon and I am taking far too long. I could sign up already, but that way it would take a while before I actually start the challenge. I really want to get back on this challenge, though...

You're not the only one... And I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one that gets stuck on names, they can be quite annoying to come up with :)

Update #3: Venusaur - Soul Silver
Defeated the Elite Four and Champion, so on to Kanto it is!

OKAY THEN! IT'S TIME!

You can probably already see from my signature, but I have finally got my things together and thought of a name. Now Noctis (Latin: "of the night") was actually already in my head when I started thinking about this, but now I have decided to do this anyway.

Sign-up:
Username: TeunCornflakes
Pokémon of Choice: Noctis the Umbreon
Challenge: Ultimate
Game(s): LeafGreen, SoulSilver, Emerald, Diamond/Platinum, Y

All my Ultimates can be changed to Y now since I have decided to buy the other version for challenges.

The reason that Diamond and Platinum are both there is because I am worrying about starter editors. I know one for Diamond, and if I don't find one for Platinum I will go with that game. If anyone has a suggestion, please PM me.

Kanto Log:

Okay, started off this challenge by hacking into the game with A-Starter and replacing Squirtle with Umbreon (Seabubble is in our minds).
- Chose Umbreon over Bulbasaur and Charmander, named it Noctis
- Plotted so hard
- Caught Rattata and Pidgey as HM Slaves
- Caught Pikachu(!) in the last patch of grass n Viridian Forest
- Trained to level 12 and managed to just beat the Gym Trainer
- Trained to level 16 and let Noctis learn Pursuit
- 2-hit KO'd Brock's Geodude
- 3-hit KO'd Brock's Onix
- Went to Mt. Moon and got paralyzed in the middle of the cave
- Just survived the cave with 9 HP
- Went straight to the Gym after healing and beat Misty
- Realized you can only have one screenshot at a time(?) in VBA

I started a Samurott solo on Pokemon White before I joined this site but have not finished it yet. Would I be able to summarize what happened so far and be added to the challenge?

Yeah that's fine :)

On a side note, I plan to do ultimate solo challenges for a lot of Pokemon, mainly the starters and some others I really like, and decided to start up my Blastoise run since I decided on a decent nickname for it last night. Here's my sign-up:

On a side note, can anyone explain to me how starting a new game on X and Y affects people who have your Friend Safari? Do they need to wait 'till you defeat the Elite Four again to gain access to your full safari again, or what? I searched all over the internet (at least a lot) and I couldn't really find a clear answer and it affects my decision to use my X-file (see what I did there ;) ) for solo runs as I don't really feel like buying Y just to play challenges.

 

[Raven Valt]

Just finished a Charizard run on LeafGreen, Here are the pics.

Spoiler:

 

[BlissyMKW]

So while slowly making progress on other solo runs like a Sceptile solo and Chikorita solos, and with the death of my 3DS, I went and did a Seaking solo on Red since Seaking is one of my favorite Water types from Gen 1...well, at least it was back in the day when I always used a mono Water team in Pokemon Stadium, then I learned that Seaking is pretty bad overall. Sure, it has a shallow movepool in Gen 1, and it's one of the only two Pokemon to learn Waterfall that gen, but it was still fun to go around and wreck lives in Kanto with an oversized goldfish :P.

I have since finished the Solo Run, so I guess I'll do one massive update.

Bato the Samurott (Male, Lv. 76)
Ability: Torrent
Moves: Aqua Tail
Megahorn
Dig
Revenge

Update One and Only

Spoiler:

Details are a little fuzzy on a few of the earlier gyms, which I did a while ago.

Started the game (my Japanese White)
Named myself Uno
Chose Oshawott as my starter and nicknamed it Bato
Did all of the tutorial stuff
Beat N for the first time
Crossed Route 2 to Striaton City
I beat Bianca and Cheren
Went to the Striaton Gym, not being able to use Pansear against Cilan like I could have normally made it a bit more difficult, but I won
Went to Nacrene City and beat Lenora easily, Bato evolved into Dewott around this time
Went to Castelia, helped Bianca get her Pokemon and beat Burgh, also pretty easily
Did Route 4 and the Desert Resort
Tried to fight Elesa but lost because of the type disadvantage
I trained Bato until he was a Samurott, went back and narrowly won
Went to Driftveil and crushed Clay
Went through Chargestone and beat Skyla fairly easily
Did the sea routes and Twist Mountain, and then arrived in Icirrus
I beat Brycen easily thanks to Bato's Revenge attack
I did the Dragonspiral/Relic Castle stuff with Team Plasma
I beat Iris easily using Megahorn
Then I went through Route 10 and Victory Road
Once in the Elite Four, I swept Caitlin's team with Megahorn, Shauntal's with Aqua Tail, and then had to fight slightly tougher battles against Marshal and Grimsley.
After all the drama with N and his Castle, I went in, got healing, was forced to catch Zekrom, made it faint in the ensuing battle with N, which Bato had an easy time with
Ghetsis was tougher - I had to heal after being almost every single on of his Pokemon, but I did it
And that was it.

If you actually read all of this, I feel both impressed that you read and sorry that you wasted time on a pretty dry update. Hopefully, I'll get better at these with time.

Anyway, CHALLENGE COMPLETE!

Okay, so I actually hate FR/LG and the challenge is going somewhat slow, but now a really weird glitch occurs in my VBA. I just can't see any text, no matter what I do. In battle there is just empty space at the bottom and the menu is always invisible.

I can play the games without seeing what people say, but I also don't see moves and HP. I'll try to go on since I don't want to start all over.

To give you a taste, here's the screenshot of beating Lt. Surge:

By sounds I was able to even complete his gym puzzle. I think I can actually beat this challenge if I just go on. I hope.

You could try to replacing your rom and copy your save over.

 

[Volga]

Just a question for X/Y, if I want to use a pokemon like Zygarde or Lati@s, would I be allowed to use my Powersave Pro to get them at level 10 right before the first badge?

They always start with only Hidden Power for some reason, but everything is legal (except level of course). I would only use this for Legendaries since they can't breed.
