Today I started playing my English White and realized it was the next game on my list! So here's an update finally, however since I didn't realize it was next in line, I didn't get a chance to grab the info when I started up. But my Pokemon were all around level 49-50 and are all now level 51. I got through Victory Road and grabbed a TM and a Nugget. That's about all, but the grinding took up most of my time. I might play again later tonight and get my parameters so that I can RNG.

You're just supposed to do one a day actually, but I'll let it slide. ;(

Game: HeartGold
Player: Kaliope
Badges: 7 start, 8 end
Location: Radio Tower start, Bell Tower end

So today I played like...all day lol. I finished Radio Tower takeover, got through Ice Path, beat all the trainers on whatever that route below Blackthorn is, beat Clair and Dragon's Den, and the Kimono Girls. Now I'm in Bell Tower weee. Didn't write my starting info again cause I started playing on a whim, but my team were all around level 38 and are all now on 41.

Might be a while before I can get to my next game, because I'm in the middle of moving and I don't have a system here that can play Red, and I likely won't be able to use ROMs at all because my computer is messed up. I might switch it with FireRed, but we'll see.
 
You're just supposed to do one a day actually, but I'll let it slide. ;(

Oops, Sorry, I'll probably do today's later. To make up for it, I'll do Sapphire again today and start Diamond tomorrow. I love Sapphire anyway.

I haven't updated in a while, so I started Diamond. :P

Game: Diamond
Player: Brandon
Badges: 0(before), 2(after)
Location: Twinleaf Town(before), Eterna City(after)
Time: 00:00(before), 03:27(after)

I didn't have a save file on this either, I think this is the recently newly bought copy.
I started with Turtwig, I caught a Starly and Shinx on Route 202, and Abra on Route 203, a Geodude in Oreburgh Gate, and a Ponyta on Route 207. I just continued on to Eterna City and this is basically my final team. I beat Jupiter in the Eterna Building place.

Uhh, I forgot to ask, but ...
How do you win?
You mentioned a crow to those that win but I can't really see how ...
 
This isn't really a challenge that you win. It's, in a sense, a gauntlet. It's to see how well you adapt to games that you haven't touched in a long time and might not remember what you last did. Or it might get you out of a rut on a certain game. etc. The point is really to just pick up your game and play it. lol
 
Game: Diamond
Player: Hikari
Badges: 8 start, 8 end
Location: Eterna City start, Iron Island end.
Time: 110:28 (61 minutes of challenge)
Team at start: Rayquaza Lv100, Torchic Lv100 and Snorunt Lv100.
Team at end: Rayquaza Lv100, Torchic Lv100, Snorunt Lv29, Empoleon Lv36, Shuckle Lv23 and Lotad Lv6.

I pretty much decided to work on my Pokédex for my Diamond using the dual-slot method. I first put in my Emerald and went and caught a Gligar and Shuckle (who took forever to show up), then I inserted Sapphire and went and caught a Lotad, Seviper and a Sableye. I also did some training for Snorunt as well. I'll do a better team profile when I do games where I do more things.

Game: Ruby
Player: Aaron
Badges: 8 start, 8 end
Location: Lilycove City start, Lilycove finish
Time: 999:99 (48 minutes of challenge)
Team at start: Mewtwo Lv100, Rayquaza Lv100, Cacturne Lv100, Crobat Lv100, Gorebyss Lv100 and Torkoal Lv100.
Team at end: Mewtwo Lv100, Rayquaza Lv100, Cacturne Lv100, Crobat Lv100, Gorebyss Lv100 and Torkoal Lv100.

Because I have fully completed Ruby, as in all the trainer stars and everything, I decided to try and get my special Gorebyss more Ribbons. I managed to get the Cute master rank, which took a while and I got really close to tough master rank. It has 20 ribbons atm.
