2nd Gen G/S/C Poke-Duo Challenge

[BREAKINGBEN]

I'm sorry to jump in like this. I just have to say, this is an incredible idea. I wish I got to participate, unfortunately I'll be unable. I'll be sure to root everyone on and subscribe to this thread to keep up to date with you guys. So, good luck. XD I'm betting that Jax takes the cake at the end. *shot* Again, great idea to have a fun, tough, challenge for the community, BB! G/S/C is probably one of the best gens to do this due to it having the lowest level rate up to the E4 and the fact it goes past 8 gyms. I think it'll get a whole lot tougher after the E4. ;D Have fun everyone. :D Hey, maybe I'll be able to join in future events as well.

Good luck~

*rated 5 stars*

Thank you for your encouragement BeachBoy :)! To tell you the truth, I was wondering why no Mods were signing up for these. I remember Blueberry and Smarties Chan signed up for a Monotype a few months ago, but other than that there really wasn't any others :/.

Heh, you guys and silly betting. I still don't know if there's going to be a prize or something... I have absolutely no ideas XD!

Once again, thanks and hope you enjoy reading all of the challenge logs.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to put this in the first post, but I want you to post your team in this format:

Nickname (Actual Species) L: (Level Number)
-Move 1
-Move 2
-Move 3
-Move 4

And continue like that with the other Pokemon you chose.

HM Pokemon should be like this:

(Name of Pokemon) L: (Level) (HM used)

This is how it would look for me.

Pyro (Cyndaquil) L: 9
-Tackle
-Leer
-Smokescreen

Oddish L: 6 Cut; Pidgey L: 2 Fly

Took on the blackthorn gym, Heracross had 4 out of 147 hp when I battled Clair, used reversal to take out all of her Pokemon in one hit KOs. 200 base power, woot!
I cannot wait for Mega Horn. 150 base power, and bug type... Hehe, the first two members of the elite 4 are going to be a piece of cake. Hopefully I will have a good set for reversal when I get to Bruno's onix...


Hercules Heracross L:45

You could teach Typhlosion or Hera(if he can learn it or if you have space) Thunderpunch. =)

BTW, interesting challenge you've got here.

 

[Skip Shot]

I haven't updated in so long...

Repete wiped out the Sprout Tower and Violet Gym. After receiving the Togepi egg, I caught a Bellsprout to serve as a HM slave. When I entered Rock Tunnel, Repete was at level 20.
Took care of the Slowpoke Well with ease. I then left the Azalea Gym with a new badge and a bunch of roasted bugs...
Owned Kyle in a battle. Even Croconaw couldn't do anything against Repete, who is now at level 23.
After getting Headbutt, I went back through Ilex Forest to Azalea and Caught an Aipom, who I name- you guessed it- Pete! So now I have Pete and Repete. Pete needs training. Who covers him? Answer: Repete! Okay, So now I have.... you get the joke by now!

Pokemon:
Repete(Quilava) Lvl 23
Ember
Quick Attack
Mud-Slap
Headbutt

Pete(Aipom) Lvl 11
Scratch
Tail-Whp
Sand-Attack

Slaves:
Bellsprout Lvl 7: Cut, Flash

I tried to teach them it when I still had a Quilava, they couldn't learn it then... But Typhlosion may be able to learn it now that he has evolved...

Cool, it works now, Thank you


EDIT: 1 hit KO's of both Gyarados and Aerodactly are now easy!

 

[BREAKINGBEN]

-cries- I'm only at the beginning... curse you Atlas! Halo is just so addicting!

Oh, and to those who came across this thread and weren't sure of sign-ups, they are still going on. The max for this challenge is 78, and I don't think this will be full any time soon. :)

 

[Atlas]

Hey, I am rushing through the game as fast as I can. I pretty much remember an entire walkthrough of the game from when I had the cartridge. Also, I normally spend a lot more time training other Pokemon, catching and evolving them.

 

[BREAKINGBEN]

Do you think you can beat Red with two Pokemon that are rush-trained though? I'm not trying to sound mean or anything, just wondering.

Your levels are what, 50ish? That's probably better than I could do speed-training. XD!

EDIT: HOLY S***!!! I totally forgot Cyndaquils evolve at 14 =DDD!!!

With that in mind, I guess I should update.

-Went to Mr. Pokemon's house. Was REALLY lucky that he healed Pyro, since he was poisoned by a Weedle on my way there :(.
-Defeated Rival; Later named him Khan. (Yes, so I can shout KHAAANNN!!!!!111one!)
-Trained Pyro to 14 before stepping a PIXEL into Violet City. Yes, I am OCD that way -.-
-I'm on my way to burn through Sprout Tower & Falkner!
~Break~
-Yup, easily Burned through Sprout Tower and obtained Flash... although I can't recall a single time you use it in Silver :/.
-Went directly from Sprout Tower to the Gym, no healing.
-With my 8 PP of Ember, I easily OHKO'd the trainers AND Falkner without breaking a sweat :D!
-Obtained the Zephyrbadge and TM 31 Mudslap.
-On my way to Union Cave, I caught a Mareep but forgot to give it a nickname. So I had to release it and catch another. Lucky for me, it came up pretty quick.
-Named Mareep Electro.

Team:
Pyro (Quilava) L: 18
-Tackle
-Leer
-Smokescreen
-Ember (<333)

Electro (Mareep) L: 9
-Tackle
-Growl
-Thundershock

Almost 60...
I fight every trainer I come across. I have still got about 4 more Kanto badges to go. I should be about in the 80's when I get to Red. With my recent addition of thunderpunch on my Typhlosion, I shouldn't have too much of a problem with red.

The only problem I have had with him in the past is his snorlax, and I have the perfect counter to that with Heracross.

Pikachu ♂ Espeon ♂ Snorlax ♂ Venusaur ♂ Charizard ♂ Blastoise ♂



Brute force Pickachu, Megahorn on Espeon, Reversal for Snorlax, Flamethrower for Venasaur, Thunderpunch for Charizard and Blastoise.

Yay! My first update!

Well, I started a new game, chose the male character and named him Ken. I chose Cyndaquil as my starter, and named him Blaze. I had to go to Mr. Pokemon's house and raised Blaze along the way. I battled ???, won and later named him Zach. I started my journey to Violet City, picked up some items and berries along the way. I found a level 5 Bellsprout and named him Venus. I decided to raise both of them to level 10 (Training Venus on Poliwags is fun.). As I ascended Sprout Tower, Blaze evolved into Quilava. I breezed through the tower, beat the elder and got HM05 Flash (What an accomplishment.) I also breezed through Falkner and his friends.

So far, I got the Zephyr badge, the Mystery Egg (Just so I can get Miracle Seed.)
Saved in front of Route 32 PC.

My Party of two:
Blaze(Quilava)@Berry Lvl 17

Leer
Smokescreen
Ember

Venus(Bellsprout)@Miracle Seed Lvl 14

Update 4:

Decided I needed to train alot more before beating Chuck, so I headed to the Ice dude instead and did the Lake of Rage stuffs.
When turning off the Machinge, Mufasa finally evolved into Typhlosion.
Decided to take on the one ice gym before the fighting one (I have no clue if it's meant to be first or not).
Beat Pryce easily.
Beat Chuck with Relative Ease (His Poliwrath hypnosis'ed Useless, then dynamic punch confused Useless in his sleep >.>).
Went back to the route before violet city to catch Hoot-Hoot for fly/flash.
Realized I hadn't gotten fly at cianwood, and biked all the way back for it.

Trainer Name: Jax
Version: Silver
Pokemon: Cyndaquil/Sentret

So, I finally got off my rear and started the game this morning.

First thing I did was secure a female Cyndaquil. No, it really shouldn't matter what gender my starter is, but mostly, I did it out of a joke. (That might only be funny to me, but whatever.) Said Cyndaquil was named Mayumi, and she helped me up to Mr. Pokemon's and back, defeating my rival by spamming Tackles along the way. (I was very tempted to name him ???, but that's lame. And I did it in my last game, anyway. He's Silver instead.)

Next thing I did was secure a male Sentret, which took me a little while because, for some reason, my games love to make me search a patch of grass for ten minutes before I find a Pokemon I'm looking for. He got the name Masaki, and we were on our way.

Incidentally, yes. A female, red Pokemon named Mayumi and a male, brown Pokemon named Masaki. For those of you who know your Japanese names and get it now, a cookie to you. For the rest of you, just know that the fangirl in me is now cracking a smile every time I open my team list. (There's a further inside joke involving the name Masaki and Sentret, but only members of an RPG I used to run would get that one. So, never mind.)

I had Mayumi piggyback Masaki (and for those of you who have gotten the above are now probably further understanding the joke) until about level five, then proceeded to train both him and Mayumi up to level 14 (evolving Mayumi on the way) each before hitting Violet City's Gym. No, this wasn't necessary. Entirely. Well, it ended up being useful in any case...

...Because Pidgeotto wouldn't die. Seriously. Pidgey went down with a Quick Attack and a Tackle from Masaki. Pidgeotto had to take three Quick Attacks before the stupid thing finally died. By then, Masaki was a Furret (because of the other trainers), and luckily, he was still standing and in the green by the time he took Pidgeotto down. I didn't want to send Mayumi against Falkner at all because, frankly, I anticipated Mud-Slap. What I got was a Tackle from Pidgey and a few Gusts from Pidgeotto. WTF, Falkner. Zephyrbadge get!

So, after that, I headed south with the two, beating up trainers along the way. Taking down an Onix and a couple of Geodude from hikers from Violet to Azalea was interesting. And by interesting, I mean "blinking annoying." But, I still did it, healed up, and took on Team Rocket for the first time. I admit I wasn't particularly paying attention to this part because I was surfing deviantART simultaneously.

Anyway, after that and after a "thank you, here's a Lure Ball, get out" from Kurt, I hit Azalea Gym. Masaki took on the first two trainers by himself to level up once, and then Mayumi took care of the rest by spamming Ember.

Bugsy was therefore easy. Metapod and Kakuna went down in one hit. Scyther took one hit and got burned. I loled, then proceeded to finish him off with another Ember. He got in a Fury Attack and a Quick Attack before that point. Because Scyther was trying to be ninja. Just before Mayumi set him on fire. Again. Hivebadge get!

Currently sitting in Azalea Gym, and I'll head forth to Goldenrod... tomorrow!

Team

Mayumi (Quilava) L: 20
- Tackle

Masaki (Furret) L: 19

Mysterious Egg (Doorstop) L: ???
- No one really cares. Will stick this in a box when it hatches (because that's how I feel about Togepi anyway).

 

[Atlas]

Blue is finshed, but there isn't enough exp around to get me to the lv I thought I was going to be at... Time to grind the Elite Four.

Whoa..... Magmar in Mt. Silver... Unexpected and great...


Red was..... Weaker than I had expected... A single flamethrower to defeat Pikachu...
I made sure that I pre-weakened Hercules... 13 HP is more than small enough to make Reversal have a base power of 200. Also, I forgot to switch in my fire type when I battled Venasaur, so I got leech seeded... Next battle was Charizard... Switched in Tempest, and gave him a thunderpunch. Then came Blastoise, who was able to weather a thunderpunch(Slightly odd that the water could survive and the fire couldn't, lol) and then killed Tempest with a surf. Hercules finished him off with reversal. Snorlax was easier than he has ever been, and it took only one reversal...(and like 10 sec for the bar to decrease to 0)

Do I win?

 

[shadoweagle89]

What about Growlithe in Crystal? You can catch him right outside of Violet near the Sudowoodo.

Update of the day!

Trainer Name: Jax
Version: Silver
Pokemon: Cyndaquil/Sentret

Working together, Mayumi torched Silver's Gastly, and Masaki Quick Attacked the rest. Silver moaned about me being weak (even though I totally owned his Pokemon) and headed up to Ilex Forest. I followed suit, taught Fury Cutter to Masaki (because I kept making everything I wanted to catch for an HM slave faint with everything else -- oops), caught a Paras, and proceeded to find Irresponsible Cutter's boss' Farfetch'd. Boss gave me Cut, kid gave me Charcoal (which I've given to Mayumi for tradition's sake), and I headed up north to Goldenrod City.

Aah, Goldenrod. How I love you. You're filled with all sorts of trinkets, and you're the reason why I wasted an hour before actually getting my third badge.

Wiped out all the girls by torching Clefairy and Quick Attacking Meowth. You have no idea how satisfied I felt right then.

Whitney was a bit tougher. I sent out Mayumi first, who torched Clefairy until she got burned. Clefairy used Metronome and missed with whatever she was trying to do, so Mayumi finished her off with another Ember. Then, Whitney sent out Miltank. It took several Embers before she finally got burned, and by then, Mayumi was in the red (because the blasted cow used Stomp, followed by Rollout). Mayumi Quick Attacked because I wanted to get in one last attack (because, all irony aside, a Miltank is faster than a small rodent on fire), and Mayumi succeeded in her misson to burn Miltank anyway. She fainted right after that from Rollout, and then, it was Masaki's turn. Masaki fought valliantly, absorbing Rollouts as he Quick Attacked away small bits of Miltank's HP. The burn really helped, what with reducing Miltank's attack and whittling away more HP so it looked like Masaki was actually doing decent damage to her. By the time she went down, Masaki was in the yellow.

One whiny Gym Leader later, and I got my badge. Plainbadge get!

So, I went off to Ecruteak, fighting every trainer along the way and capturing that Sudowoodo (as well as hatching Togepi, which was promptly shoved in a box with some sick satisfaction from yours truly). I healed up in Violet, so by the time I finally got to Ecruteak, Mayumi and Masaki had enough energy to take on the trainers of the Gym. So, without hesitation, I went and did it.

And then Masaki nearly got pwned by the first trainer. Because Fury Attack, even at full power, didn't do diddly squat to Gastly. *headdesk* Way to fail, Jax.

So, after giving Masaki a Super Potion, I opted to teach him Dig, just so I actually have a chance against Morty. This proved to be a better idea because it meant I actually did more than a tiny bit of damage to the ghosts in the Gym.

Before I hit Morty, I opted for side training by heading up to the Burned Tower to battle Silver again. Mayumi torched Haunter (who paralyzed her with Lick), Masaki Quick Attacked Croconaw a few times until he went down, and Mayumi handled the rest with Ember.

So, by then, it was healing time in Ecruteak's Pokemon Center. Which, for me, equals fangirl time. Yes, I'm lame.

After that side trip, I went back to Ecruteak Gym and challenged Morty. Mayumi went up first to torch Gastly, who responded with Curse while he had less than a quarter HP left. FAIL.

So, not wanting to risk Mayumi to Curse, I switched in Masaki. The first and second Haunter went down with a Dig each no problem. Gengar had to take two. But in the process, it attempted to use Hypnosis on Masaki... and missed. FAIL x2. Fogbadge get!

So, next stop is Cianwood, right after I pick up the Surf HM and try to figure out just how the hell I'll be getting there with only a Quilava and a Furret. (Hmm. Surfing Furret? Seems like Masaki's quickly becoming my TM/HM guinea pig.)

Mayumi (Quilava) L: 27
