2nd Gen GSC Word-Themed Team Challenge

lol, I said I couldn't get Steelix because I can't trade, but I did list Golem XD
That means it'll be only Graveler

I did the beginning stuff, chose Chikorita and caught a Geodude. Grinding him up until it learns Rock Throw.
then I beat Falkner, but it was harder than expected, since his Pidgeotto oustpeeded and used Mud slap. I nearly died but then i hit. So lets see if I can beat the Sprout tower.
So yeah, I entered and PWnt all the Bellsprouts easily, because they were heavily underleveled. Now traveling to the union cave to catch an Onix.
I got beaten by the Poliwag trainer. They ouspeeded and used Bubble. After the second I fainted.
I caught an onix and grinded it up till it learned Rock throw. Went trough the union cave without any problems. Screech really helps Onix beating pokemon! Slowpoke well was easy too.
I thought Bugsy would be really easy, but yet again I made a mistake. Onix was paralysed from an earlyer pokemon, but I decided to challenge him anyway. I beat Metapod and Kakuna easily, but I was fully paralysed 3 times against Scyther, making his Fury cutter strong and he Koed. Then he outspeeded and Koed Geodude in 1 hit. The second time was easy, because i wasn't paralysed and I could 1HKO Scyther.
Then AGAIN i was thinking my rival would be easy, because I could kill Gastly and Quilava with Magnitude and Zubat with rock throw. I was right on gastly...
Then Quilava outspeeded and Burnt me, while I 3HKOed with Magnitude due to getting low numbers. Quilava dies and me dies by Zubat's Bite. Luckily I still had onix left and KOed.

I should seriously pay more attention on easy fights D:

I figure that I may as well try, that is, if I can even find a emulator to play on.

But I got the word Beach, so I'll be using Water types only.
 
Entrancer, maybe you could take a pokemon like Sandslash too? And I see Kingler/Starmie really fitting!

As for my update:
I went to Goldenrod without much problems and teached Headbutt to Onix. In Goldenrod, I bought TM Fire Punch and teached it to Geodude. Beat Whitney really easily, I got 2 lucky Magnitude 9. Traveled to ecruteak city. Geodude evolved. This time my rival SHOULD be easy, since he only has magnemite added to it which has a 4x weakness. but we'll see. I also expect Morty to be not really hard, but I'll be paying attention this time! But first, the Kimono girls. the only one which could have been a problem was Vaporeon, which was killed by a lucky Magnitude 9 again. :D
This time the rival wasn't any challenge at all! It managed to damage me for 6 HP. Onix soloed him.
ASfter entering the gym, I nearly died before even reaching the gym leader! graveler survived with only 11 HP left. CURSES lol. and paralyses keeps me immobilised for some turns again. Time to get up for Morty!
It was a joke! Seriously! Onix used Dig to beat gastly and the 2 haunters. Gengar put me too sleep and I switched out to avoid Dream Eater. gengar then missed Hypnosis and I 1HKOd with Magnitude. Now to find a Surf slave so i can get myself the red Gyarados. I guess I'l jsut go get the Good rod and catch one.
I arrived at Olivine city and caught myself a Krabby. Now going to catch the red Gyarados.
I arrived at the lake of rage and challenged Gyarados. 3 Headbutt's brought him into the red and 1 Poke ball was enough to catch XD

I'm stopping for today now lol.

team:
Onix lvl 30
Rock throw
headbutt
Screech
Dig

Graveler lvl 30
Rock throw
Magnitude

I want to participate in this challenge!
Do we have to get assigned a word, or can we choose.

I'll be playing this on Pokemon Yellow, and with an Emulator, since I don't have a gameboy, nor the game.

I might do Crystal as well, if you want to give me another word for that.

Edit: Forgot that GSC stands for Gold/Silver/Crystal. Thought it was for any game from the Game boy era. xD
Sign me up for Crystal then!

I got the word exclusive so after thinking for a bit I think I will do this challenge using only Johto pokemon on crystal :)
 
@ Hayley Williams: You could also get yourself a random word, but I can do that as well. Determined by tossing a coin that the word will be an adjective. The generator created the word "sloppy". (stuff like Rattata or Grimer?)

@ yuki3056: I was more thinking about version exclusives when reading that word, since I think there are no real Johto exclusives, they all are somehow availiable in other games. Or do you mean that in a different way?
 
Oh I meant like only Johto pokemon like the ones introduced with the series Typhlosion, Donphan, Corsola etc. but if that is no good I will try a different word ^_^
 
Recognized could work. I would say just the more popular Pokemon people would be able to recognize easilyl mostly from the anime, such as Pikachu, Togepi, Geodude, Psyduck, Meowth etc.

Mind if I go with that?

I think what Mondays Suck meant, was that like if you're playing Gold for example, you can use a Mantine, whereas if you're playing Silver, you could use a Vulpix.
 
@ yuki3056: The problem is that I don't really see how exclusive means Johto-introduced Pokemon. Out of your examples, Typhlosion should be useable though since it's Player-exclusive in these games.

@ Hayley Williams: Recognized=Popular? Of course that would work, I just didn't see that.
 
@ Hayley: While Raichu is of course not as well-known as Pikachu, I think (which of course doesn't mean anything, I might be horribly wrong) it's still by far more known than for example Golduck is.
So I'd say it depends on each Pokemon, for example you could evolve Pikachu, but not Psyduck.

@ Yuki: Maybe this could help you with your team building.
 
Donphan is a version exclusive as it is not in gold version correct? or were you implying it has to be a one version pokemon?

So a team like
- Johto Starter (Bayleef)
- Raichu
- Jigglypuff
- Togepi
- Psyduck
- Beedrill/Geodude

would be acceptable.
In other words, if the Main Protagonists/Antagonists (I'm doing it via anime) have the pokemon, then I can use it correct?
