Update for USC #2.

Now it's time for my next USC to continue in Unova with Palin the Garafarig!

Update #1 on Black.

Name: Gerry
Starter: Girafarig

• Made Girafarig my starter in place of Snivy, who shares a Bug weakness, and named him Palin (short for Palindrome, ofc). Shiny FTW.
• The first gym was real easy, although being weak to Dark is annoying.
• The second gym was easy as well, though I did have a scary moment when Watchog used Crunch and almost killed Palin.
• I am saved in Pinwheel Forest, about to crush Team Plasma.

Spoiler:

Yeah, the beginning of this game is a bit boring, as an FE Pokemon destroys everything stat wise.
LOL, I just noticed that Palin's HP bar against Lenora is 9/69, which is...a palindrome! LOL.

Team Gerry:

Palin the Naive Girafarig, ♂ - L22 @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Early Bird
Moves: Stomp, Rock Smash, Psybeam, Work Up

Made Shroomish my starter in place of Bulbasaur, who is also a grass type. I named her Doom Shroom because she's a BO$$. The first gym was easy. I two shotted Onix with Absorb so that was that. I'm now currently outside Mt.Moon getting ready to venture inside.

I actually plan on doing this challenged with as many Poison-types as possible later.
Here we go.

I started a solo run with Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir in HG without posting it on here so I'll just post what I've done so far.

Spoiler:

-Chikorita was my starter and I hacked in a Lvl. 6 Ralts since that's when it learns Confusion.
-Did the Mr. Pokemon stuffs.
-After I beat my rival the first time, I went to Violet City.
-Sprout Tower thing was easy with my Ralts.
-Falkner got destroyed by +6 evasion Ralts. Double Team FTW.
-Double Team is my most useful move as it saved me from being OHKO'd by Bugsy's Scyther.
-Bugsy was defeated easily after Scyther was taken care of.
-Rival Devyonn was destroyed after a tough battle. Luna's(Kirlia's) Quiet nature doesn't help the Speed.
-Ilex Forest was quick with two Repels after getting Cut.
-Got CUT, my Oddish who knows Cut.
-Met Ethan at the Day-Care.
-Defeated all the trainers I could before fighting Whitney.
-Got to Level 6 of Voltorb Flip before losing... So hard... ;-;
-The gym was relatively easy. Whitney was annoying. I got +6 evasion, Sp. Atk., and Sp. Def. when Clefairy used Metronome which turned into Power Swap. I had to build up the Sp. Atk. again. Miltank was, however, easy.
-Ecruteak, saved the strong Kimono Girl who didn't want to battle.
-Ecruteak, met Eusine and Morty.
-Didn't expect the battle with Devyonn in the Burned Tower. However, I won after two lucky hits with Confusion. Luna's stats: +6 evasion, Sp. Atk., Sp. Def. -6 Accuracy
-Just beat the first trainer in the gym and Luna evolved!

My amazing one woman-band!

Is it ok if I link my Crystal Feraligatr Run from my youtube page?

 

[d4rka8isz]

I beat the game! This means I beat Red.
-I beat the E4 easily, switching Magical Leaf with Focus Blast on Karen.
-Credits rolled...
-Beat the eight Kanto gyms and explored the whole area.
-Red was a pain! I lost like 10 times before getting a good enough strategy to beat him. Here is a play-by-play account:

Spoiler:

Pikachu: Right out of the ball, he used a Volt Tackle. Luna had 20 HP left and used Psychic. Pikachu fainted.
Snorlax: Max Potion before he used Blizzard. I used Hypnosis and missed. Strangely, he used Blizzard again. Max Potion. Crunch. Max Potion. Crunch. I took a risk and used Hypnosis. It worked and I used a Max Potion. Then I used one Calm Mind before finishing it off with a Focus Blast.
Lapras: I used Calm Mind and Lapras used Body Slam. I got paralyzed but Synchronize kicked in and we were both paralyzed. I was able to use another Calm Mind. Body Slam. Full Restore. Lapras couldn't move. Calm Mind. Lapras couldn't move. Focus Blast OHKO.
Charizard: Flare Blitz right out of the box again! Psychic kill. Luna had 2 HP after Hail kicked in.
Venusaur: First thing I did, Max Potion. Venusaur used something that did around 10 damage. I didn't see because I was excited. I could actually win! Psychic OHKO.
Blastoise: Psychic FTW!
