Gym Leader Challenge

Basically like the R\B\Y one, but for G\S\C!

All you have to do is choose one of the 16 gym leaders in G/S/C, and then go through the game using only the Pokemon listed under your chosen leader in the spoiler below. (Pokemon lists compiled from R\B\Y, G\S\C, Stadium, Stadium 2, and the anime)

Spoiler:


And the rules:

1. You may only use Pokemon used by your chosen gym leader.
2. This is not a race so take your time!
3. The first Pokemon of your type must be caught before defeating Whitney.
4. No glitches whatsoever.
5. No legendary Pokemon!
6. No trading unless it is to evolve a Pokemon or to get otherwise unobtainable Pokemon (i.e. the Kanto starters, fossil Pokemon, and version exclusives).
7. HM slaves are allowed (2 maximum), but you CANNOT use them in battles!
8. No Gamesharking.
9. You may choose a gym leader even if someone else has started a challenge with him\her.
10. Emulators are acceptable, and you may use the spacebar for speeding up grinding
11. Please update posts once every few gyms... Or every gym if you feel so inclined ^_^
12. Your challenge ends after defeating Red.
13. Please specify which version (Gold, Silver, or Crystal) you are using for your challenge.
14. HAVE FUN!

And without further ado, let the challenge begin! I will participate, using Blue's Pokemon.

I'll participate and I'll be using Clair's Pokemon.
 
I'll do it with Sabrina. I'll do whichever one you can catch Sandshrew in (i think that's gold, am i right?). However, I am really busy at the moment, so it might take a while for me to start. But when I do, chances are I'll finish shortly thereafter, because I like using the speed button.
 
I've never done this before, but sounds fun. I'll be misty. Crystal version in emulator

Pokemon I plan to use in the beginning:
Tododile (starter)
Jigglypuff
----After Violet Gym---
Wooper
Poliwag
Slowpoke

EDIT:

Okay so here goes my progress so far (speed toogle = win):

Started the game, named myself Morty and my rival Belmont. Chose Totodile as a starter, who became my Cut and Surf slave.
Caught an Hoothoot (Evrae).
Progressed all the way till Bellsprout tower, where I got Ectoplasm, my Ghastly.
Proceeded to defeat every trainer with either Tackle from Evrae or Lick from Ectoplasm.
Made Falkner easy by Hypnosis-ing him with Ectoplasm and then attacking with Evrae's Tackle.
Went all the way till Azalea.
Swept the Slowpoke Well with Ectoplasm's Lick.
Swept the Bug gym with Evrae's Peck.
Progressed till Goldenrod. Got Cubone (Wishbone), Snubbul (Pedigree) and Exeggcute (Eggcelence) there.
Leveled up everyone till level 20.
Handed Whitney easily (Leech Seed + Confusion + Hypnosis >>>>>> her Miltank).
Did everything in Ecruteak, including beating Morty, starring my newly-evolved Ectoplasm.
Went to get myself a Lapras.
Saved.

"image removed"
Evrae, level 20
Peck, Tackle, Mud-Slap, Hypnosis
Albeit its bad moves, it still handles situations pretty good. He's a joy to have on my team, and a definte life-saver when needed.

"image removed"
Wishbone, level 21
Dig, Headbutt, Bone Club, Leer
So far, the most disappointing member of my team. Slow and frail, he barely gets any chance to do some real sweeping.

"image removed"
Pedigree, level 25
Headbutt, Shadow Ball, Bite, Charm
I was thinking of getting Sudowoodo first, but this thing is just beastly. Shadow Ball deals with Ghosts, and it's much more effective on him than on Ectoplasm, as it runs from its physical attack stat. It tears teams appart, and apparently likes doing so.

"image removed"
Ectoplasm, level 25
Lick, Night Shade, Curse, Hypnosis
Not too bad considering its attacks aren't that good. I'm looking foward for some special move I can teach him (Psychic?). Also, I'm considering evolving him, though I still do not know how.

"image removed"
Ferry, level 21
Surf, Body Slam, Mist, Sing
Still do not have a strong opinion about it, as I just got it. I'm sure it'll be a useful member of my team though.

"image removed"
Eggcelence, level 22
Confusion, Leech Seed, Hypnosis, Reflect
A great wall. Confusion is powerful enough for now, and Leech Seed + Hypnosis + Reflect beats so much stuff it's insane. Love having him around.

Progress:

Named self Volten
Started with TOTODILE
Grinded it to ten to be safe.
Talk to old man to get TOWN MAP
Got Mystery Egg & pokedex
Destroyed RIVAL
Delivered Egg to Elm, named Rival Regal
Collected various berries
Accientally let mom save my money. didnt really care.
Registered Wade's #
Went hunting for a bellsprout after beating the firs group of trainers.
Caught a level 5 Bellsprout that retained 1 HP after a scratch atk, forgot to nickname it >_<
Caught a 2nd Bellsprout and named her Razor
Ditched the first Bellsprout into a box
Switch-Trained bellsprout till it learned Wrap
Went to dare cave to pwn some geodudes/zubats/dunsparces
Went to ruins of alph. solving the Kabuto puzzle and killed Unowns
At lv 18 beat Falkner's Gym Trainers
Healed
Went to sprout tower for more training
Got Flash, my Bellsprout now at level 19. My goal 4 levels aways.
I headed back to the strange ruins with letter shaped pokemon.
My Bellsprout evolved into weepinbell. I was paying attention I wanted to stop it, but alas, I have learned from my mistake. I decided to try to take down Falkner now.
I healed.
GYM BATTLE 1:
VS FALKNER
2 Vinewhips KOed his Pidgey. What a pathetic pokemon.
Then he sent out a level 9 Pidgeotto. I started with poison powder, then 2 vine whips took it out. I was shocked that I did all that training for such a pathetic battle.
When I left the gym Proffessor Elm called me, telling me to meet his assisstant at the PKMN Center
So I healed my pokemon a bit and got an Egg.
I headed south, I heard I could catch a wooper there but, alas, I think the time of day was wrong.This Weepinbell is quite annoying. 10 Vinewhips, 20 Wraps and I have to heal. How the bloody hell will I ever get through the cave at the end of this path.
I battled some trainers, and registered LIZ's number
Some idiot tried to sell me a slowpoke tail for a million pokeyen. I told him to go fly a kite and if I wanted a slowpoke tail id catch a slowpoke and cut it off myself.
I healed and realized along the way I had found 2 Great Balls. WOOPER IM COMIN FOR YA!
Anyways, I battled some fools on a fishing bridge. When I was done my mother called me and told me she bought me a rare item, I checked my PC. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHE WASTED MONEY ON A SUPERPOTION. BAD MOM! RESPECT MY AUTHORATAR!
When I was training I gave up on finding a Wooper, deciding to head back here at night, I headed through the cave.

Anyways
I found a few items in the cave, nothing to noteworthy, aside from a 3rd greatball and a tm39.
I healed when I got into town. I headed into the forest for some training. I talked to some old guy named Kurt. Blah blah blah slowpoke well blah blah blah. Then he stormed out.I decided to head back to the cave to train but I saw that there was a big empty hole in the ground... Hmmm. I jumped down. Oh da- I hate Kurt. Blah blah blah Fell in Blah blah cowards blah blah. I shrugged Kurt off and explored the cave and this fool attacks me with a Rattata. Needless to say my Weepinbell took it out with 1 hit. The guy sends out another to the same fate. He begs for forgiveness, so I punched him in the face and took his money :)
Then some lady tried to attack me but met the same fate. There were too more people and they both met the same fate. There money is mine. I found a -shudder- super potion in there. So suddenly I was teleported into Kurt's house. Apparently those people who attacked me, and provoked me into robbing them were part of a crime syndicate called team rocket. Apparently im a town hero. Kurt gave me a weird pokeball that I probbably wont use.I left and healed, then went into the gym. God theres alot of trainers here. Inside the gym, a couple steps after beating some annoying little girls, the egg hatched into... a strange egg-shaped pokemon. Anyways, I defeated all the gym trainers and battled Bugsy. When it was all said and done, the entire time I was in the gym my Weepinbell took 9 points of damage. After Bugsy gave me a tm and a badge I decide to go outside for a ciga- to call Elm. He begged me to hurry to his lab so I healed and started walking back towards the cave, the whole time thinking... This is gonna suck.
