Ill do fighting on Gold

But seeing how you can't really get any fighting types before Mt. Moatar can I wait till then till catch my pokes or do I have to do it before Ilex forest because the only ones you can get before ilex are Heracross and its his secondary type? I am fine fine with having a team of heracrosses but that really wouldn't be a fighting team :

I started a game/team despite not hearing back from anyone Ill post updates when I hear back :D

In crystal it's an abra for a machop, but the point is he's right. There is a machop in the Goldenrod 5th floor.

Update 5: 12/27/08

Kanto
-Beat all of the gym leaders.
-Trained my team up to Level 65 - 69. (Varied levels)

Before Red
-Defeated the Elite 4 several times to get more money.
-Stocked up on Full Restores and Revives.

Red Battle
This battle was very annoying. Pikachu wasn't a big of a deal. Espeon, on the other hand, was a pain. Gengar's Shadowball didn't KO Espeon, so Psychic killed me. I switched to Crobat and used Bite to finish Espeon off. Snorlax was next. I revived Gengar and switched to him. Gengar used Hypnosis on him and since I'm part Ghost type, Snore didn't hit me. I used the Dream Eater combo, but as soon Snorlax wakes up, he uses Rest. I did this combo until I ran out of Dream Eater's PP. I switched to Nidoking, who finished Snorlax off with a few EQ's. Blastoise was sent out, Nidoking's Thunderpunch fainted it after a couple of hits. Venusaur was just 3HKO'd with Venomoth's Psychic. Charizard was 3HKO'd with Tentacruel's Surf.

I wasted money on my Full Restores and Revives because I only used 2-3 of them?

Final Team:

Poison Challenge Completed.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I beat Morty VERY easily, piece of cake with confuse ray + bite.

Team is the same, except Scyther is lvl. 18 now and zubat is a golbat at level 24 now, expecting it to evolve to crobat around maybe 30?

I'm looking forward to Chuck, but right after that is 2 magnemites and a steelix :(

 

[Shwicked]

Thanks, KadabraK, good luck completing your challenge too.

Crobat's going to really help your team a lot like mine.
