Combined Pokemon Solo Challenge Thread

[FlamingThunder]

I already abandoned the solo run. I'm having a horrible time (and I may call it a waste since Flygon couldn't beat certain Pokèmon).

 

[Shadowbane92]

Ok. Huge update. Just gonna say that Houndoom ROCKS!

Spoiler:

Anyways. Started emerald named myself Alyce, caught a level 5 Female Adamant Houndour, named her Tobiume. Strolled on through the prologue, wiped the floor with all the trainers between Petalburg and Rustboro, levelled up to 12. Felt confident going into the Rustboro Gym, then proceeded to get hammered by Roxanne. Crap. Levelled up to 15, rinse and repeat. I then rage, levelled to 25 and Evolved, then went back and demolished her with my shiny new Houndoom. Then did all the devon corp stuff, beat the Aqua grunt, talked to Mr Briney, went to dewford, got lost in the cave, caught a Sableye as my first HM Slave, with Cut and Rock Smash its Chosen moves. Found steven, beat Brawly with my now level 30 Tobiume. Went on to slateport, did all the crap around here, then wondered where the hell the contest Hall had gone. Then remembered I had picked Emerald, not Ruby. Ah well. On to Mauville city! Met and beat Brendan again, then faced Wattson with Tobiume at level 38. Annihilated him, then the Winstrates, then moved on to the fiewry path, through Fallarbor, leaving beaten and broken trainers in my wake. Went to Meteor Falls, on through to Verdanturf, gaining the mystery egg on the way, then went to Mount Chimney. Annihilated Whats-His-Name, the Magma leader, then moved on to Lavaridge town. Easily beat Flannery. In fact, it took longer to get to her then it did to beat her. Moved on, beat dad, got surf, taught it to Mudkip as my second HM slave, destined for Surf, Waterfall, Strength and Dive. Tobiume is about level 47. Went on past the weather institute, through Winona in Fortree, then on to Lilycove, through Mount Pyre, down to Magma's hideout, released Groudon, bulldozed through Aqua's hideout, thenon to Mossdeep to flog Tate and Liza. I figured out the gym in time to realise I couldn't face them with just Tobiume. (And why not, I should ask? I hate double battles. They steal valuable xp from Tobiume). So I went back, grabbed Sableye, who fainted, leaving me as I wished, with Just Tobiume to destroy those pesky twins. ON to the space center, and another annoying double battle. (No metang, don't raise our defence, finish them off.) Gah! then went underwater to flog Archie, unleash Kyogre. Went to Sootopolis, talked a lot, went and found Rayquaza, went back, watched the loooong cutscene, beat Juan, then moved on to Victory road with Tobiume at level 55. Steamrolled through victory road, grinding along the way, so that when I stood at the gates of the Elite 4, I had only a level 63 Tobiume by my side, having deposited my HM slaves already (I don't bring them into big battles, cause that's boring). I then proceeded to destroy Sidney with Faint Attack and Flamethrower (and the odd crunch), then I hammered Phoebe with Bite, then had a close shave against Glacia. Drake was a cinch with Crunch, and I then got utterly destroyed by Wallace's STABed Earthquake. He managed to Critical hit me 8 battles running. HOW IS THAT NOT CHEATING! Eventually, after wasting the Elite 4 more times than I can count, Tobiume emerged victorious on level 86.

So that's my Solo run finished! I'll post some screenshots after i've posted a little more. (why 15 posts? I signed up for the challenges, not to wait 15 posts for screenshots).

Anyways, Now i'd like to sign up for an Ultimate Solo run with Spheal/Sealeo/Walrein, starting on Leaf Green (Oh, god this will be hard). Good thing I can abuse the Speed up function! OH, and this solo run won't be so Chaotic, cause i'm going to keep track of everything as I go, instead of waiting till the end :P

Edit: Screenies!

Screenshots:

Spoiler:

Edit 2: Walrein run - Kanto

Spoiler:

-Started Leaf Green
-Called myself Rosa, and my rival Gene (Shut up. I wasn't in a creative mood at 3 in the morning)
-Picked Spheal as my starter :P Got a female, named her Tiburon. Of course, I got an Impish one, didn't I? This is going to be hard enough without handicaps. I also got Thick Fat as the ability, which'll make Lorelei and Blaine easier.
-Utterly destroyed Gene's Charmander (Whoops. Replaced the wrong pokemon).

Moves: Powder Snow, Growl, Defense Curl, Water Gun
-Leveled up twice! but only got 80p prize money. Tiburon didn't learn Encore.
-Realised I had forgotten to activate the National Dex, so I did that. Now Tiburon can evolve! And I think Tiburon may be part of the low experience group because she's levelling up really fast.
-Had to wait through that boring "how to catch a pokemon routine" that they made compulsory since Yellow. What are we, three? If you don't know how to catch a pokemon, the door's over there.
-They removed the rival encounter before the Pokemon League... Why? So I moved on to Viridian Forest. I'm wiping the floor with these trainers, and Tiburon is levelling up like there's no tomorrow. Passed old mate, Mr. Bug Catcher with the greatest line in Leaf Green: "Did you know that Pokemon evolve?" Tiburon learned Ice Ball here.
-Got to Pewter City and headed straight to the Gym to thoroughly destroy Brock and his follower with Water Gun, gaining the Boulder Badge and TM39 Rock Tomb.

Moves: Powder Snow, Ice Ball, Defense Curl, Water Gun
-Got the Running Shoes and left this Godawful city. Beating the trainers on the way to Mount Moon, levelling as I go. Tiburon learned Body Slam, then I healed at the Poke Center and finished for the day.

My Team:

Tiburon the Impish
Female Level 21
Moves: Powder Snow, Ice Ball, Body Slam, Water Gun

[11wildy]

Going to do a solo SMEARGLE challenge on pokemon crystal. I will upload all the gym battles to youtube. If I want to do an ultimate later, does it matter I did Crystal first?

 

[Itzzaboy]

As for me, I will the doing he challenge on fire red to start with.

Will be doing it with Surskit/Masquerain

May do ultimate if it works out.

I am going to hack fire red for either mew or pichu for a starter

As for my challenge....

Lost to rivals Bulbasaur due to only move being bubble
Grinded to Lvl 8.
Lost to Rival again west of Viridian city.

Proceeded Through Mt. Moon. Emerged Lvl. 20.

Ski the Timid Sirskit (lvl 22):
Bubble
Quick Attack
Sweet Scent
Thief

PS: PLEASE READ: My gameshark codes wont work on an emulator. Does anyone have the codes for...

Master code
Enable national dex code.

Would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

 

[Arceus8888]

about the legendary not allowed thing... sorry i didnt see the 1st page i came in on the 10th page XD i still might get a mew just for an HM slave you know, might as well since it can learn any move

*EDIT*
I wonder if I can give my rival like maybe a Kyogre or some really tough legendary to make it more of a challenge

 

[Zeko]

Chimchar Solo Run #1+ Spade Update

I basically want an excuse to play my Diamond, so I'm doing a Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape solo run, just so I can start chaining. I am still doing the Charizard Ultimate, so I guess I'll switch off while on here. I am in Saffron City and forgot how to make Sabrina appear, that's why it's taking a while. I'm not dead.

Anyways, I'll start Updating.
Chimchar Solo Run Chapters 1-2

__Chapter 1__
First thing I did was Up+Select+B. Yup, I deleted my current file. I don't know what was on there, and I don't care. So I finally get to start again. My name is Zeko, a thirteen year old boy. My rival's name is Joker. Yeah, his mom is weird xD.
[fast forward here]
We were being attacked by some Starly. We didn't know what to do. I just grabbed one of Professor Rowan's Pokemon.

Spoiler:

"Chimchaaaar!" It screeched. "Chimchar-Chimp!" Then out of nowhere it started scratching one of the Starly to death.
Eventually I was in a situation where Professor Rowan was giving me a Pokedex and Pokeballs. "Would you like to give a name to your Chimchar?"
I looked at Chimchar. I saw his eyes ready to protect me at any cost. I knew it. His name I mean. "Yes I would."
"Well....?"
"Blazin'."

Spoiler:

Chapter 2.
Okay, In the last chapter, I wrote in a first person story, this won't be that way, okay? Okay. Let's continue.
So after the boring tutorial is FINALLY over, I buy 3 potions and a Paralyz Heal. I know there are Shinx in the next couple routes. I make it onto the next route with our first trainer battle. Youngster Tristan with a Level 5 Starly. Ember, ember, scratch. Done. And so on...
I made it out of the route having grown FOUR levels (level 10) and one move (taunt). Now I'm in Jubilife City! I pick up the hidden Paralyz Heal and move into the Trainer's School to deliver Joker's Parcel. I see two nerds who think they can beat me. Yeah, the Abra kids. I battle the girl first. The only move her abra knows is Hidden Power. So the first turn I heal (because I forgot to do it before) and it has a x1 HP. Ember + Scratch = Dead Abra.
Then I repeat the above for the other dude. He gave me TM10, Hidden Power (who would guess?)
So I found the 3 clowns and got the Poketch. On the next route, VS. Joker, I embered his Starly, got it to like 3 HP, healed for the turn after next (it growled :]), and scratched. On his Piplup, the only thing I could do was Scratch, even though my Attack was lowered, because Ember isn't very effective. When it's HP bar got to red, I embered it and it fainted.
I returned to Jubilife, healed, and made it on to the next Route!

[PartiallyInsaneWhimsicott]

Ok, I'm gonna do an ULTIMATE Solo run with Beldum (Metagross).

For FireRed and Emerald I'll use A-Starter--I'll think of something for Soul Silver and Platinum (probably Modifier code)

EDIT: Can I do something about Beldum's sucky moveset?

 

[BlissyMKW]

I'm gonna do an Ultimate run with Nidoking. I'll use A-Starter for Emerald, and AR for Platinum. White Version...I'll have to trade.

 

[EchoFire9]

-Decided to head South from Lavender Town.
-Fought some "fishy" characters.
-Replaced Kiwi's Uproar with Return, which is quite possibly it's strongest move now.
-Reached Level 50. I always get excited about milestone levels.
-Got blocked by Snorlax.
-Went back to Lavender Town and headed Left.
-Bought 99 Super Potions.
-Defeated everyone on route 8.
-And then I walked through the Lincoln tunnel.
-Oh, hey Rocket Hideout. I think I'll try the gym first.
-DRILL PECK DRILL PECK DRILL PECK
-I can now say that the gym trainers (all together) own exactly 18 pokemon. Because that's how many drill pecks it took me to mow through them all.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*

-DRILL PECK
-Hooray. Next time, Rocket Hideout Junk.
