[Westie7]

In my "everytype" challenge, I currently have 3 badges and 5 out of 10 teammates. Wattson was a big challenge, requiring Nuzleaf's Bide for Magnemite and Magneton. Afterwards I quickly caught Torkoal, and got Zangoose and Solrock soon after. Still missing Walrein, Magneton, Banette, Flygon, and Heracross, in no particular order.

Resumed Leaf Green today.

After having spent AGES deliberating, I finally took the plunge today and evolved my Eevee - now the proud owner of a Vaporeon!! :D

Then I went to the Fighting Dojo and destroyed all the trainers there with my Kadabra. Afterwards, I picked Hitmonlee who's going to be a staple part of my team

Taught my Vulpix Dig and went to take on Lt. Surge, afterwards I had a lot of fun destroying Erika's gym :D Then I won loads of coins at the Game Corner :D

Took care of Team Rocket in Celadon, got the Silph Scope and went to save Dr Fuji. My next port of call will be awakening the Snorlaxes.

[BartCiao]

Yeah, I want to share something: I'm so proud because my Pokémon have beaten the Kanto E4!!!
I really didn't expect that it was that easy, all of the Champions' Pokemon around 6-15 levels higher than mine, but it went quite easy. Although I failed the Champion the first time, because I was really looking up to Lance, and when I'd beaten him, I thought that the Champion would be easy... It wasn't XD
But still, the second time, I've just owned him :P
Charizard: Earthquake / Fire Blast / Flamethrower / Fly lvl 55
Raichu: Thunderbolt / Thunder/ Slam / Quick Attack lvl 53
Persian: Return / Screech / Bite / Hyper Beam lvl 48
Mr. Mime: Psybeam / Psychic / Reflect / Encore lvl 50
Hitmonchan: Fire Ice Thunderpunch / Sky Uppercut lvl 49
Kingler: Surf / Stomp / Mud Shot / Guillotine lvl 51

 

[Shiny]

Started a new game, choose a female with the name Anthea.

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

First of all - congrats BartCiao!! :D

Caught Articuno - same situation as Moltres lol, used up all my Ultra Balls, got him with a Great Ball
Caught Zapdos - it only took 8 Ultra Balls, I was in complete shock lol

Currently in the midst of training against the Elite Four, just to level my pokémon up a bit, I'm not expecting to beat all of them at this stage. I've discovered that Venomoth is one of the stars of my team - I've always liked it but I never realised how good it was :D

More later :)

 

[Shiny]
