Swept through slowpoke well
Ur mom(my ekans) destroyed Silvers team

Remembered that I had to fight Bugsy
Forgot Bugsy was male

~August 5th, 2009~

-Went to the Goldenrod Underground and fought the trainers there
-Headed out to Route 35 again; fought the rest of the trainers there (or so I thought... turns out I missed one)
-Fought the two policemen standing guard at the National Park Gate and the Daycare
-Fought the trainers in National Park
-Fought the trainers on Route 36
-Got the mail-carrying Spearow from that guard in Goldenrod's north gate
-Took a LONG hike out to Route 31 to deliver the mail
-Received TM50, Nightmare, as my rather crummy reward (I don't think any of my main team Pokemon can even learn it)
-On the way back to Goldenrod, stopped at the Ruins of Alph to do that Kabuto puzzle
-Eventually made it back to Goldenrod City, went to fight one trainer I missed on Route 35
-Went to the Goldenrod City Gym, saved the game there

Also, I will be using the following restriction (from the list of optional restrictions) from now on in my game:
-Don't keep your main team Pokemon more than 2 levels apart from each other at any time
I've actually been doing my best to follow this from the beginning of the game, but I've decided to make it an official restriction to my game file now.

My Current Rockin' Team:

Proof that my team has an oddly high male-to-female ratio:

(Yes, I did trade off one of the Bellsprouts, but the ratio is still 3:1. ;))

August 5th
Restarted training with Ekans...decided to get everstone, as growlithe requires firestone and I can clone another everstone for bellsprout.

Saved and closed so I could get a drink...when I got back my VBA did not have any options so it could not load. I think I am cursed.

But, the status I can still give....

-level 10

- level 15

- Level 16

:D I made banners because they are fun to make...except the program I was using kept on closing out right when I finished so the ekans is a 3rd draft, the growlithe a second draft, and bellsprout is the 8th or 9th attempt...every other time the thing closed out. That is why I think I am cursed

EDIT: NEVERMIND! I can load now...but I still have no option bar...

Restarting the memo:
Got the first everstone
for some reason I cant clone...
Finally got Ur mom(im going to change the name to coilz in goldenrod)to level 15
Got Swift
Cleared out slowpoke well
Plowed through Bugsys underlings
Decided to train everyone to level 22 before fighting bugsy
Saved then stoped playing
Bellsprout got to 21...Ekans was at 21, and Cleo as 17

[Timbjerr]

Here's my progress after my first two-hour play session:

-acquired Cyndaquil and nicknamed it NOISOLHPYT
-ran errands for Elm, getting Map card along the way
-fought ??? and later named him something PC's censor system would delete from my post. :P
-caught a female sentret and nicknamed her TERRUF
-waited ten minutes for night to come because I overestimated how long the previous events would take when setting the time
-caught a female hoothoot and nicknamed her LWOTCON
-arrived in violet city
-caught a Bellsprout and traded him for Rocky. I then put Rocky in the PC to rot.
-sailed through the Sprout tower
-owned Falkner/acquired Zephyrbadge
-made it through Union Cave...barely. This team has a significant weakness to rock pokemon this early on. NOISOLHPYT evolved into a Quilava in the tunnel.
-Arrived in Azalea Town
-sailed through the Slowpoke Well event. TERRUF evolved into a Furret in the cave.
-Owned Bugsy/acquired Hivebadge
-Fight and defeat ******* and then procede to find the lost Farfetch'd
-Caught a random Oddish in the forest and nicknamed it HMSLAVE/taught it Cut and Flash
-Taught NOISOLHPYT Headbutt and caught a random Pineco. I won't use it for the challenge, but I'm planning something for it after this challenge is done. :P
-Mystery Egg hatched into TOgepi. Togepi gets thrown into PC to rot.
-Acquire egg from Daycare lady.
-arrive in Goldenrod city
-acquire Radio Card and Coin Case
-squandered all my money on the game corner.
-beat Whitney on my fifth try. (I hate that Miltank...I hate it alot...) and earn Plainbadge
-Agreed to do random dude a favor after he gives us his Spearow named Kenya. I throw Kenya in the PC never to be seen again.
-participated in a bug catching contest, admittedly just to give NOISOLHPYT a couple of easy level-ups. I caught a lv.15 buttefree that didn't win me anything, so I decided to release it...worthless butterfree. >_>
-talked to that girl by the sudowoodo
-got Watering can in Goldenrod City, also grabbed the TMs for Firepunch, Icepunch, and Thunderpunch from the Dept. Store and taight them to TERRUF. I also used the Dig TM from the National Park on TERRUF.
-fight and capture Sudowoodo, but he gets sent to the PC for now.
-Arrive in Ecruteak City
-explore Burnt Tower and Fight ******* again. i'm stupid enough to fall int oa hole. >_<
-Raokou, Entei, and suicune wake up and run away.
-Teach LWOTCON Mud Slap because I thought it would be good against the Ghost-type pokemon in the Gym.
-Beat Morty on my third try (His Gengar was being a jerk with using Hypnosis/Dream Eater on me)
-Egg hatches into shiny Cleffa. How cute...but you're still going to rot away in my PC. >:O
-Saved inside the Kimono Girl theater.

My team:
NOISOLHPYT/lv. 26 Quilava
-Headbutt
-Quick Attack
-Smokescreen
-Ember

LWOTCON/lv.26 Noctowl
-Tackle
-Hypnosis
-Mud Slap
-Peck

TERRUF/lv. 27 Furret
-Dig
-Icepunch
-Thunderpunch
-Firepunch

HMSLAVE/lv.7 Oddish
-Absorb
-Sweet Scent
-Cut
-Flash

funny sidenote: HMSLAVE, when switched in at the end of one of my failed battles against Whitney, was actually able to dodge Miltank's rollout that turn and land a critical hit with Cut, but that was all meaningless as HMSLAVE fell to a Stomp on the next turn. XD
