[Yusshin]

Awesome updates, guys.

I added everyone to the main list :] Welcome aboard, Arcelio and Stan the Man!

 

[Arcelio]

The Fourth Day

• Furret is able to learn Rock Smash, which gives it a great tool for fighting against Rock and Steel-type Pokemon. Not the best choice, obviously, but you've gotta take what you can get, right? Replaced Foresight with Rock Smash, seeing as Spearow, which will have evolved into a Fearow at that point, will be more than enough to take on the Ecruteak Gym.
• Got a Shell Bell after Furret broke a rock near Union Cave. Yay.
• Gave the Shell Bell to Furret for Union Cave, and I'll give it to Spearow once we get to Azalea Town.
• Went into Union Cave, and took an immediate north turn. I plan on exploring as much of the cave as possible on the first go.
• Returned to the above floor, and went southward this time.
• Nabbed a TM (Rock Tomb), X Defend, X Attack, and a Great Ball. Not bad, as far as cave plundering goes.
• As soon as I take a step outside, I realize its pouring outside. How strange...
• I've gotta admit, that as cheesy as it sounds, the rain looks beautiful. Maybe its just one of my oddities, but I've always found the rain extremely calming, preferring to walk in rain storms than walk during a cloudless day.
• Heh heh, Machop looks like he's trying to be a superhero.
• After entering the border of Azalea Town, the rain died down, which made me sad. I walked in on a conversation with a Team Rocket member, and an older unknown male. They were talking about Team Rocket breaking up, then the Rocket hit the older male. That's kinda mean...
• I went into town and entered the PokeCenter, healing up my Furret and Spearow. Gotta take care of my buddies, right?
• I got a call from Liz, so I figured it would be polite to answer. She called me to talk about another guy, which is something no guy ever wants, ever. Not only is it awkward, but it kind of makes you feel crappy. Just a little tip for the girls reading this...
• Left the PokeCenter and spoke with Kurt. He ran off to Slowpoke Well in a huff, which is kind of dangerous. I suppose I should back him up, in case anything happens.
• Ran to Slowpoke Well, only to find both Kurt and the Rocket 'Guard' gone. They must have gone inside.
• Well, it looks like Kurt took a tumble down the well, hurting his back badly. I suppose that means I'll be taking over. I go deeper into Slowpoke Well, and begin my first battle against a Team Rocket Grunt.
• Kept moving through the Well, defeating all Rockets that dare attempt to stop me.
• Walked up to a strange, blue-haired Rocket. Apparently, his name is Proton, and he's a Rocket Executive. That means he's easily superior to the Grunts that I've trashed. I wonder by how much.
• Hm, I guess I was wrong. Mr. Executive wasn't difficult at all. Kurt congratulated me on a job well done, after all the Rockets escaped simultaneously. Maybe they all carry Escape Rope, so they can make a quick getaway?
• Gave Kurt two Apricorns, and, in exchange, he'll make them into balls. He's basically taking my nuts, and turning them into balls. Nice.
• I'm gonna take a small nap, but the next thing on the list is my duel with the Trainers of the Azalea Town Gym.
• Just like the common cold, I'm back… back again. Guess who's back? … I'll stop now.
• Azalea's Gym looks mighty different than the way I remember it. I don't remember a spider taking me from platform to platform.
• With the death of a Beedrill, my Spearow gains another Level, learning the devastating Flying-type attack, Aerial Ace. Sadly, the Spearow family doesn't get Brave Bird (at least, not that I know of), so Aerial Ace will have to do for the rest of the game, or at least until I get the Fly HM. Or until I learn Drill Peck.
• Solved the mystery of the spider platform, and stood up against Bugsy. Your bugs will be swept away in a daring gust of wind, Bugsy!
• Beat Bugsy in a blaze of glory. I'll give the kid this much though; his Scyther was a real pain in the ass. Quick Attack was his main weapon, but I should be happy he didn't teach it Swords Dance. Got me a new badge!
• 
  
• Sweet! Got the TM for U-turn, which I'll be saving. For who, I'm not sure. I know that Spearow/Fearow can learn it, as can Furret and Aipom. The only question is who needs it more? I'll save it for now, and use it when I feel that it should be used.
• Kurt took my Black Apricorns, and gave me back my Heavy Balls. Isn't that nice of him? Even though, it's kind of weird that an old man is handing me my balls, heavy ones at that. I liked it better when Lyra did it…
• Only after the Gym Battle do I realize that I forgot to switch the Shell Bell from Furret's possession to Spearow's. Goddammit.. I've got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, so I'm gonna make like a tree and get the hell out of here. Wait… I think I told that joke wrong.
• Oh son of a *****! Can't you just leave me along, you red-headed prick!? I don't care if you want to be strong, I don't care that you stole your first Pokémon, and I don't care that you hate Team Rocket. Leave already! For Christ's sake, haven't you done enough?
• Apparently, Silver didn't want to listen, so I beat him like his father should have done when Silver started his emo tantrums. Also, I have a lot of nerve, for just being in a damn town. Geez, what an *******.
• Silver says something about strong and weak, and then runs off again. I should have that bastard put down. He's becoming way too troublesome.
• Entered Ilex Forest, only to find out some noob lost a Farfecth'd. Great, now I've gotta go find it. I sneak up on the pesky bird and capture it, bringing it back to the (failing) Trainer. Wait a minute… there are two Farfetch'd? Damn kid… you really do suck.
• OH SHI-! The Egg hatched today! It's a Togepi! Hell yes!
• Caught the second Farfetch'd, the little prick. I swear, my job keeps changing. First, I was a delivery-boy, and then an information gatherer, then a Trainer, then a Farfetch'd capturer. I swear, this is the last time I do any good deed for anyone.
• Finally, the 'Cut Master' shows up, gives me the HM for Cut, and leaves. Good thing too, since they were starting to piss me off. I'm already in a foul mood because of the redhead, and I don't need any more crap from anyone today. I just wanna go, and catch my Aipom in peace.
• I still need Headbutt, which means going deeper into this god forsaken forest. Damn it all.
• Okay, found a random fat guy in a forest. Not really surprising, until the guy STARTS RAMMING A DAMN TREE! Why?! Why ram a tree? What the hell did it do to you, *******?! Apparently, he was using Headbutt, which makes him even stupider than I thought. He was ramming his skull into a tree… I hope he gets a concussion and falls into a coma. He'd deserve it.
• Had Furret forget Scratch to learn Headbutt. Now, BACK TO CHERRYGROVE!
• Some ******* starting screaming at me. Or roaring. One of the two. Anyways, he gave me a free TM.
• After rechecking my guide, it turns out that Aipom can be caught in Azalea Town… damn it. Back to Azalea Town it is.
• Found an Aipom on my very first Headbutt! I threw a Great Ball at it, since my Pokémon would end up slaughtering it if they attacked.
• This stupid damn Aipom refuses to get in the ****ing ball! So I killed it. An example has been made out of that ****er.
• Caught the next one on my first Pokéball. Looks like she knew better. It has Pickup, which means that it'll have Technician when it evolves (I think).
• Togepi evolved rather quickly, only at Level 10. Talk about friendship… I got a new Togetic!
• After checking Togetic's nature, I found out that it does have Serene Grace, and not Hustle! Yes!
• Now I've got three-out-of-four members of my final team, Fearow/Furret/Ambipom(Current Aipom)/Togekiss(Currently Togetic). Now all that's left is to catch a Teddiursa, which I'll do after getting Rock Smash/Strength (whichever is needed to get to the higher part of Route 46), and catch a Tauros near the outskirts of Ecruteak City. After that, I'll catch a Miltank and Snubbull if I can manage it. Jigglypuff don't show up till later, and neither do Clefairy, so I guess Fearow/Furret/Ursaring/Ambipom/Togekiss/Tauros will have to keep me safe until Mt. Moon, or a Snubbull swarm.
• Saved my game after a hard day's grinding, and went to sleep.

[Yusshin]

Nice update, Arcelio :] You're really progressing.

 

[Arcelio]

Nice update, Arcelio :] You're really progressing.

Heh, heh, thanks. I love playing SoulSilver. Keep in mind that this is the first time playing the G/S/C remakes for me, so everything is new and exciting for me. I always make sure to include my current team, and the important events, as well as things that aggravate me (game crashing, Aipoms not getting in there damn balls, Fisherman with 6 Magikarp, ect, ect).

 

[blue]

This looks like a fun challenge, Once I get started I'll upload my progress! :)

Name: Suicune™
Pokemon Colour Category: Purple
Mono-Type?: Poison

 

[Yusshin]

Awesome; added you, Suicune.

 

[blue]

Thanks!, Would having an Ariados be okay, with it not being purple but being poison because there aren't that many pokemon purple & poison I can think of at the moment.

Yay! I'm starting a purple fad!
Anyhow, down to business.

~ I started my game, resigning myself to another long day of training.
~ I'm currently clearing out Sprout Tower. Who knew a supersonic/leech life combo would work so well on bellsprout! :)
~ Went to route 31 to get some free berries from Wade.
~ I reach the top floor of Sprout Tower with full health, but I must flee to the pokecenter to restore zubat's pp.
~ Cyro had a delicious bellsprout feast when I faced the head of Sprout Tower.
~ Stupid ghastlys keep fainting!
~ Yes, got a ghastly with only one pokeball! Named him Sneak. (Yes, it's a guy.)
~ Faced the first trainer in Falkner's gym, his puny spearow easily lost to hypnosis from Sneak and a few quick attacks from Rattata. Nothing like Arcelio's "Rage Bird."
~ I explore Alph Ruins, with the intent to crush puny unknown with Sneak.
~ Unknown-A killed Sneak, so I'm forced to kill him. Kill him at the teeth of CYRO! (He's a bat, he doesn't have hands. Pshhhaw!)
~ Argh, will Sneak just learn a move other than ghost type moves! I want something that will damage Falkner's part normal type pokemon!
~ Grr, I checked bulbapedia and I've decided that curse will have to do.
~ Got so bored as to battle to the second gym trainer in Falkner's Gym, I won brilliantly.
~ Trained some more, zubat learned bite.
~ Beat Falkner! Not only that, but rattata was the only pokemon to fall to pidgeotto's claws.

[Arcelio]

• Let the games begin!
• Met the odd, kimono wearing woman again. Only, this time, she pretended like she didn't even know me! That's extremely insensitive, seeing as I told you my name already, and I let you look at my Togepi Egg (and no, that is not an innuendo).
• A nice lady gave me the TM for Taunt. If I was trying to catch an Abra, this would have been extremely helpful. But, I'm only using Normal-types, which means no Abra for me. I'll hold onto the TM though, since I don't like selling gifts.
• Read the sign outside of the guardpost-like building. Apparently, Radio Tower is giving away Radio Cards! I wonder if they have any Ocarinas… Perhaps a Wind Waker?
• Register Gina in my PokeGear, because I roll that way. Then I registered Ian, because I don't want to be a dick and say no to a little kid. God, that came out wrong.
• Hey, it's Lyra! And, apparently, she's related to the Day Care Couple! Also, she's not Crys! …Just saying. She still has that Marill with her, and I think I might have to have Aipom kick its ass. Also, Lyra's grandmother seems to be implying that Lyra and I are an item. That… I don't really mind; I'd hit that. She gave me her number too… damn, two girls in one day. Gold is becoming a pimp. I also registered Lyra's grandparents because they asked, instead of Prof. Oak, who demanded that I go out and tame wild animals. Where is that prick anyway? I've got a few choice (and four) letter words for him.
• Found another cop, but he only ever does anything at night, and he never leaves this Route. Good job, Johto Police Division.
• Mom called to tell me she bought me a gift. Thanks Mom! I wonder what it is… To the Goldenrod Department Store! Besides, I've gotta pick up a few TMs there anyways.
• Mom bought me Yache Berries! Not exactly useful for this Challenge, but should I start my Dragon Challenge anytime soon, these will become infinitely useful! Thanks Mom. P.S: Buy me a Dratini next!
• Took the elevator to the 6th floor, and got myself a Prism Berry in the Drawing. Not bad, but I would have liked that TM 60… Oh well. Can't win 'em all, I guess.
• Bought me the TMs for Focus Blast and Fire Blast. Currently, Togetic can only learn Fire Blast. I guess I'll have to wait for my Dawn Stone at the Pokethlon. What a drag… And even then, I've gotta re-teach Togekiss Air Slash and Aura Sphere. I also, on the 2nd floor, bought as many Ultra Balls as I can. I'm catching a Tauros soon, and I want to catch it without having to rely on the Pokéball's shaky Capture Rate. We all saw what happened with Aipom.
• …I see a train station. I like it. I wanna ride the train! But I can't, cause someone broke it. Whoever they are, they shall pay for their sins, like the heathen they are!
• Went to the Gym, only to find out that Whitney's being irresponsible and hanging out at the Radio Tower to win a Card. To the tower!
• …Okay, now you've gotta be kidding me. There's a freaking terrorist outside,someoneidentified him as a member of Team Rocket; no one calls the police. Everyone in Goldenrod is officially useless and/or brain-dead.
  
• Got me a Radio Card, which caught Whitney's attention. Apparently, she though Kurt used Apricots, or something like that. Finally, she returned to the kitchen Gym. Now, to go and get a Plain Badge!
• After entering, and defeating every member of the Gym but Whitney, I took a small respite at the Pokémon Center, healing up those who had been damaged. My mom also called, to let me know that she bought me something. Maybe it's my Dratini?! To the Department Store!
• …It wasn't a Dratini. Just more berries. Mom, you're making me sad.
• Gina called me up to talk about how in sync she was getting with her Hoppip, and how she was angry that she couldn't catch a Drowzee.
• Sorry Whitney, but I'm gonna be needin' that Plain Badge.
• Stupid damn Fury Swipes keeps hitting only twice.
• Finally KO'd that annoying Miltank with a Screech/Fury Swipes combination.
• Oh crap. I made her cry. This… cannot end well for me. Lucky for me, I'm wearing my cup.
• I stealthily tried to make my exit as Whitney's crying, only to be stopped by one of the Gym Trainers. Apparently, this happens a lot.
• Well, after Whitney finally calmed down and stopped crying, she gave me the Plain Badge and TM 45, Attract. Badge is great, TM… meh.

• That's three badges in five days. Why can't the Anime progress this damn fast?
• I know that this is a shameless advertisement, but, if you're looking for Video Game Soundtracks, go to https://www.ostproject.co.cc/. They are one of the best, if not the best, place to get Soundtracks from, and their list of tracks are pretty damn impressive. Let me tell you, nothing is more fun than playing Pokémon, while switching between the Pokémon HeartGold Soundtrack, to the Megamn 10 Soundtrack, to the Resident Evil 4 Soundtrack.
• Healed up the team at the Pokémon Center before setting out towards the North, and Ecruteak City.
• I was asked to deliver a letter to someone on Route 31. I turned them down instantly. Sorry, but I'm not playing delivery-boy anymore, and I refuse to do good deeds unless they work in my direct interest.
• Mom bought me more berries. Seriously mom, can you just get me a Dratini? Or maybe a Jigglypuff? I've always wanted one of those…
• Decided against teaching Aipom Agility, since I saw no real point in it. Baton Pass is just going to be used once Aipom/Ambipom gets damaged too badly, and I don't plan on passing Speed boosts.
• Registered the Juggler, Irwin, because apparently, I have fans now.
• I've gotta tell you, you have no idea how happy I am that Game Freak gave Togepi Extrasensory. Before, in G/S/C, it was so difficult to train Togepi, because you had to rely on TMs or the EXP Share. Now though, backed with Serene Grace and a decent attacking move, the Togepi family is, to quote the Wu Tang Clan, nothin' to **** with.
• Ran back to the Pokémon Center to heal up, and then hit the road again.
• Entered the National Park. Left to go to the Pokethlon Dome and… goddammit! Another pedophile! Mother of **** ****!
• Holy crap. That dome is… big. Hey it's Whitney! How you doin'? Am I a medium or a small? I'm all large, baby. Looks like she forgot here Pokémon. I swear, all the good looking ones are airheads.
• Left the Pokethlon Dome, enraged at the fact that they don't carry Shiny Stones at this time. I need a goddamn Shiny Stone!
• Declined the offer to take the Bug Catching Challenge, since it would serve no real purpose, considering that if I were to start a Bug-type Challenge, I'd have to use Caterpie/Weedle/Ledyba/Spinarak since those are the first four Bug-types that appear early in the game. Believe me though, if I could import Eggs with those Pokémon, I'd whip everyone from Faulkner, to Whitney, to Chuck, to Claire. Scyther is just a beast like that.
• Entered National Park, and I like the scenery. Very serene, very pristine and relaxed.
• Got a call from Lyra… about Route 46. NEVER SPEAK OF THAT ROUTE IN MY PRESENSE AGAIN, LYRA!
• Took a picture with my squad in the park. This is going right on my fridge. Wait… do I even own a fridge? What the hell do I eat, anyway? And when!?
• Got a Quick Claw from a rather bossy woman, which thinks she's a teacher.
• Met a father, and his cosplaying son. I swear, this world gets weirder and weirder every time I open my eyes.
• Went behind the fence, walked southward bound and…. Where the hell is TM Dig? Where the hell is TM Dig! Goddammit!
• Never mind. I found it. Stupid gigantic tree was blocking it from sight.
• Got a Soothe Bell too, this would have been useful, if Togepi hadn't evolved already.
• Got a call from Ian, telling me on how, after he learned so much from our battle, he managed to defeat a Ratatta. That's nice Ian. It's good to have fans, and people that idolize you. It makes it easier when you need to borrow cash, or a getaway car.
• Taught Aipom Double Hit and…YAY! He evolved into an Ambipom! Now he's got four hands, and each one can kick some ass!
• Met a weird Bird Keeper, who asked me about my balls. Sorry, but those are off-limits.
• Spoke with Floria, who informed me that the 'tree' blocking the way to Ecruteak wasn't a tree at all, but a Pokémon! This comes as no surprise to me, seeing as I already figured that out when I poked it and the damn thing moved! Now I need to spray it with water… Maybe Totodile can help.
• *Remembers what happened last time Totodile was out of the PC* …So many bodies. Oh merciful God, why!?
• Got distracted by the allure of more Game Soundtracks. My iPod is crying from the complete overload of win that it's trying to contain.
• On my adventures on the Internetz, I came across a wonderful site by the name of https://forums.ffshrine.org/. I would recommend anyone looking for Game Guides, OSTs (that you can't find on ostproject), or basically anything else, to check out that site. I found a Pokémon HeartGold/Soul Silver Strategy Guide (PRIMA) there, and who knows what other treasures you could find?

[Arcelio]

P.S: Because of idiots not knowing where there topics are supposed to be, this got pushed down onto the third page. I will not allow this, so I bumped it back to the first. Stupid people not knowing where to post really pisses me off.

 

[Yusshin]

Great updates, Arcelio. Thanks for the bump the other day.

The others don't seem to like updating very much xD

This challenge is still active, though.

 

[eveelution]

Hey Yusshin. I think this is a great idea, but I can't get into my challenge. Sorry. I'm gonn'a have to drop out.

 

[Yusshin]

That's all right. If ever you become interested again, just drop by.
