    James901 - I signed up for a Pidgeot Ultimate, but after doing Yellow, I decided I would prefer to just to do Single Challenges. Would you go ahead and change me from an Ultimate Challenger to a single Champion?

    beat gyms 3 and 4! gym 3 was really easy for a fighting gym (only one blackout, no items used, though I grinded a few levels)

    gym 4 was a joke, though there was a trainer with only ghost types in between, he was arguably as tough as the gym due to my only move that can hit ghost types being blizzard.

    Can I change some of my games in the future? Like for example lets say that I ended up playing Black 2 instead of White, would that be okay?

  • Ok so I got solo run on my bingo card over at the bingo challenge for hoenn ~ So I guess that I can do one (won't count swampert one as that one since it will take me a while to get back to it since my save file was deleted and I decided to start that run over in hg/ss and after that I ll move to Sapphire)

    So I want to do Mightyena run for my card since Mightyena is my favourite Hoenn pokemon besides sceptile and I don't want to use another starter :3

    Here is the sign-up:

    Username: AoTora
    Pokemon of Choice: Mightyena
    Challenge: Not for now, but maybe later.
    Game(s): Ruby

    It's perfectly fine to change your game later. :)

    Also next time you have an update and no else has posted edit your first post instead of making more. Double posting isn't really allowed :/ In case you haven't read the rules, or just forgot here's the link: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=220769

    Update #1 on Black 2.

    Name:Voldy
    Rival: Potter
    Starter: Snivy

    • Hacked in an egg, which hatched into Nagini the Dunsparce! She has Bite and Headbutt as egg moves.
    • After exploring Flocessy Ranch, I took on the Aspertia Gym, where I survived Cheren and won the Basic Badge.
    • Made my way to Virbank City, trained a bit in the Complex, then barely defeated Roxie.
    • Defeated Team Plasma, then made a couple movies at Pokéstar Studios.
    • Went to Castelia City, defeated all the trainers in Batte Co. and the Sewers, then took down Burgh for badge #3.
    • Beat Colress on Route 4, then defeated everyone there and in the Desert Resort before heading to Nimbasa City.
    • Cleared the old gym, then challenged the new one to fight Elesa, who was very difficult.
    • Eventually I won with the help of healing items and Double-Edge.
    • I am saved in Nimbasa City.

    If you mean your Charmander had Flamethrower as an egg move, I'm going to have to disappoint you because that's not really possible. Though I don't really know what James' policy is on this.

    Update #2: Exploud - Diamond
    Here's the second update. I'll be so glad when I've finished this, Sinnoh (and Hoenn) are two of my least favorite regions, probably because I don't know them that well.

    The parent knew the move already, my friend hatched it with a ditto so it couldn't possibly be an egg move. Maybe a TM? I hope I don't have to restart.

  • Update #2 on Black 2.

    • Moved on to Driftveil City and talked to the old Team Plasma dudes.
    • Took on the gym, and Clay was very tough. I needed several healing items to survive to the end.
    • Won the Driftveil Tournament easily, then defeated Team Plasma on the Frigate.
    • Got the Surf HM and used to explore Mistralton Cave, mostly for the Rock Slide TM.
    • Went through Chargestone Cave to Mistralton City, and grabbed the Lucky Egg from Professor Juniper.
    • Challenged the gym, and while Skyla's Skarmory was tough, Rock Slide was great in here.
    • Beat the rest of the trainers on Route 7, then flew to Lentimas Town, where I headed through Reversal Mountain.
    • Arrived in Undella Town, where I defeated Potter (cue the fireworks!).
    • Continued through some more routes to Lacunosa Town, where I defeated Zinzolin alongside Potter, much to my chagrin.
    • Made it to Opelucid Town, and after a short detour to Route 9, I took on the gym.
    • Drayden defeated my Nagini once with Haxorus, but I eventually beat him. I have been neglecting her a little...
    • Team Plasma showed up in their flying ship and froze the city, and I defeated Zinzolin again.
    • The DNA Splicers were stolen, so I went after them to Himulau City.
    • Took on the gym, and while I did need to heal some when I got burned, Marlon wasn't too hard.
    • I am now saved on Route 22.

  • ~ISSUE~

    I probably should have read the rules more thoroughly. I followed the rules to the T, aside from one situation in Victory Road (6:18:55). In short, I let my Butterfree faint and used a Revive while an HM Slave was battling. If this voids the attempt, so be it, but I have some reasons to plead "not guilty".

    1. I was burned and didn't have Burn Heal (sorry Blaine), so I fainted just to save myself a trek back to the cave
    2. It was an optional battle, so it wasn't actually inhibiting story progression
    3. Blacking out would have just sent me back to Viridian, with a boulder reset as the only real penalty
    4. I blacked out soon after, so I paid the penalty anyway

    Those are my reasons. If the run is still considered void, just let me know. ;o
    I'd say this is okay, I've been thinking that the whole "no revives" was kind of pushing it, for some cases at least. I changed the OP to make it okay. So your challenge is fine and it'll be added next time I update :)

    The parent knew the move already, my friend hatched it with a ditto so it couldn't possibly be an egg move. Maybe a TM? I hope I don't have to restart.
    Since it was legally hatched then it's perfectly fine :)

    azzuril is starting to seem like it's OK being a NFE baby.


    beat gyms 6 and 7!

    currently on mt. coronet, but my brother feels bad that his unposted munchlax solo which he started a LONG time ago is behind my azzuril, which is rational, so I'm going to put this on hold for a bit so he can be ahead (azzuril is 1 week + 1 month old and at the top of mt. coronet; that's what happens when you use a STRONG infant who got early pokerus)

  • Update on Ultimate Solo Challenge #4:

    Final Update (#3) on Black 2.
    • Got the Colress Machine on Route 22, then went through Seaside Cave to the Plasma Frigate.
    • After solving the warp puzzle, I defeated Zinzolin easily, but the Frigate flew off again.
    • Chased Team Plasma to the Giant Chasm, where I boarded the Frigate again, and got the password to unlock the final area.
    • Defeated Zinzolin easily, then beat Colress as well, who was much tougher.
    • Beat the Shadow Triad, then followed Ghetsis into the back of the Giant Chasm Cave.
    • Black Kyurem was fused, but fell easily to Nagini, and I then took out Ghetsis without too much trouble.
    • That done, I went to Route 23 and got to Victory Road, which I went through it with ease
    • After defeating Potter at the end, I arrived at the Pokémon League.
    • After a little EV training and swapping Coil for Glare, I used Rare Candies to get Nagini up to L98, then took on the Elite Four.
    • The toughest battle was surprisingly not Marshal, although he was a bit tough, but Shauntal, with her Golurk knowing Brick Break.
    • Anyway, after cleaning up on the Elite Four, it was finally time to face Iris.
    • Here's a video and play-by-play of the fight:
