Pick Up And Play Challenge

Woah, WTF. To my surprise, Crystal was actually a game I had for an LP (haha, Syd. :>). I had just begun and picked Harris from Elm (which is a Cyindaquil).
Since there's only 2 hours left of today, in 1:00 approx. I'll update.
Go ! SpaceBar !

Aand yeah, it's gonna be a normal playthrough. No challenges etc. :-)

Pokemon Crystal
Player : Seco
Play Time : 2:30
Team before playing :
Spoiler:

Harris is my little Cyndaquil, based of my old and inactive ROM Hacking friend, .Tactic. May Typh live forever !
Achievements : Beat Falkner, w/o clearing Sprout Tower. You'll soon see why...
Team After Playing :
Spoiler:


Travis is a randomly nicked Geo', Destiny is a Poliwag, which comes from The Explorer of Destiny, whose old username was "Get Out Of My Bath, Poliwag".

Yeah, my team (except for Harris) is weak to grass. And I want Exp. evenly shared. ;;<< I am quite a maniac about this stuff !

At this point, I am clearing out every challenge. I'll just figure out what I was doing on each game, and then plan.
My netbook is so full of ROM junk and random trash... I need to clean it up some day. ;; <_<

Started the game. Named myself Haru (guess what? :D), and got a Cyndaquil.
Went into Routes 29 an 30, met with Mr. Pokèmon and Moron, my future rival.
Back to New Bark, I've obtained Pokèdex and Pokè Balls, then left for my big journey!
Catched an Hoothoot, and grinded the team in Routes 30 and 31, and in Sprout Tower where I obtained HM05 Flash, whom I taught to a Lv. 3 Bellsprout (another one were traded for Onix, grinded him too).
After this, I defeated easily the first gym (cloning TMs FTW), then went onto Route 32, for a good bit of training. Going on Union Cave, and Route 33, here I catched a Slowpoke with a very big ass :D
Arrived in Azalea, first I healed the team, then do some shopping, and get on both Team Rocket and Moron, in his battle Hoothoot evolved!
Then, Azalea gym was like drinking a glass of water.
Heading on Ilex Forest, I got HM01 Cut and taught to Bellsprout, and got out from that darn forest.
Now, I'm stopping here for now!

A question for Sydian: can I hack a Metal Coat for Onix?

A question for Sydian: can I hack a Metal Coat for Onix?

It's fine. But I mean, you only play that game for a day and then you move on, so it's not like it's gonna be of any use to you since you've played past the game you wanted it on. :<
 
Update for yesterday:


Pokemon Sapphire: Starter challenge
Play time: 0:19
Progress: Got a Pokedex and cheated my team together
Pokemon at the end of the day:

Spoiler:

Yeah, I didn't get much done yesterday. Especially considering those 0:19 were with increased speed.

---

And for today, we have...
Spoiler:

Ruby! Word challenge. So let's see what kind of team I'll get here...
 
Okay, so I'll do Ruby. Once again, I'd prefer a normal playthrough.
Depending on what I have, I'll see how stuff turn out...
EDIT : It's a new game, so I'll just do a Water Mono.
 
Fire Red

Started the game, Haru as me and Jack as rival, did all the initial stuff and catchings.
Got passed in Viridian Forest and defeated Pewter Gym.
Went on Route 3 and Mt. Moon, then defeated both Jack and Misty very easily.
Passed through Nugget Bridge and along until Bill's house, where I got a S.S. Aqua ticket and some Eeveelutions to see. Got TM28 Dig from a TR grunt, then arrived in Vermilion, where I got VS Seeker, Bike Voucher and Old Rod, with that I got my fourth team member. Now grinding in Route 11 and S.S. Aqua.

Ok I were I left off,i was at Cerulean City and I checked my team and it was
:t007: Lvl 15 Water Gun,Tail Whip,Tackle,Withdraw
:t016: Lvl 16 Gust,Sand Attack,Quick Attack,Tackle
:t056: Lvl 13 Karate Chop,Leer,Scratch,Low Kick
:t012: Lvl 15 Confusion,Stun Spore,Sleep Powder,Tackle
I wondered why I had a Squirtle instead of a Bulbasaur,because Ivysaur is my favorite Pokémon and all.But then seeing the name "Protoman" on Squirtle I relised this run was based off of Robot7's Nuzlocke.

Beat Surge and Misty.
:t008: Lvl 27 Water Pulse,Bite,Rapid Spin,Withdraw
:t017: Lvl 26 Gust,Whirlwind,Quick Attack,Secret Power

:t044: Lvl 26 Absorb,Bullet Seed,Acid,Stun Spore
:t100: Lvl 17 Shock Wave,Charge,Flash Tackle

Next up is Platinum (Random Challenge) Yay! I'm mainly happy because my uncle downloaded a Jap. Platinum Rom and I'm exitited to try that out. Lol Jk it's because I get to use Indigo

EDIT: Never mind the rom's start button dosn't work apparently D:
Back to Basic Platinum.

Pokemon Ruby: Word Challenge - International (Pokemon availiable in all regions)
Play time: 0:17
Progress: Beginning stuff
Pokemon at the end of the day:

Spoiler:

Actually I played far more than this. I started, got myself my HM slave duo of Mudkip and Tropius, and caught Tenta, accidentally named it Tnta. Had some rom freezing trouble during this and had to start over 3 times because of it, but I dealt with it.
I grinded until level 7 or so (a HUGE PAIN with only Poison Sting), made my way to Petalburg (had very annoying battle with a Poochyena on the way that at first kept howling and just wouldn't hit itself in its confusion (Tnta learned Supersonic at some point) and then dealt massive damage. Survived that with 1 HP). So, the first trainer after Petalburg has a Seedot and a Taillow. The Seedot dies easily, but then the Taillow got two crit Pecks in a row and killed Tnta.
So I Ctrl+R'd... just to find myself back at Oldale and at level 2. So I ragequit (who wouldn't?), and played other stuff for the rest of the day (and later even ended up doing a random TV Tropes wikiwalk (best part of the day :D) for some reason), and I cannot say I was more successful there. Just not my day...and it's not even monday...
 
Spoiler:


Date: Tuesday, September 28
Version: Crystal (rom)
Time: 26:27
Location: Ice Path
Gameplay: Ice Monotype

:t220: - Lv. 31 - Strength, Powder Snow, Endure, Mud-Slap
:t131: - Lv. 41 - Surf, Body Slam, Ice Beam, Confuse Ray
:t215: - Lv. 40 - Ice Punch, Faint Attack, Iron Tail, Fury Swipes

:t157: - Lv. 51 - Flame Wheel, Thunderpunch, Dig, Strength
:t245: - Lv. 40 - Surf, Waterfall, Whirlpool, Cut

Hmm, this challenge involved overusing Typhlosion until I could get to Ice Cave. I remember that I was training this Swinub.

Okay, I exchanged Typhlosion with a previously caught Jynx and grinded Swinub until he evolved into a Piloswine. Eventually I got out of Ice Path and ended up grinding everyone to level 41. I later defeated Clair and did the Dragon's Den challenge and fought trainers back to Littleroot. I took my first step onto Kanto and defeated everyone there. Defeated Rival (???) and prepared for the Elite Four. Defeated Will, Koga, Bruno, Karen, and Lance successfully. Became the Champion and headed to the S.S. Anne for my quest in Kanto. My team is bad except for mostly Lapras, Jynx, and Piloswine but whatever.

End Time: 35:24
Location: S.S. Anne
Gametype: Ice Monotype

:t225: - Lv. 43 - Icy Wind, Fly, Headbutt, Present

:t221: - Lv. 44 - Powder Snow, Strength, Earthquake, Rock Smash
:t245: - Lv. 40 - Surf, Waterfall, Whirlpool, Cut

Next time I will have FireRed which will be interesting to update because I've never updated a game that I actually have (not a rom). Because of this it will be a regular playthrough.
 
I re-ordered my Playing list because
1.I can't find my Leaf Green or Ruby
2.My next game (Platinum) is a Favorite run and I'm putting that last to give me time to get eggs for the Pokémon's I need

New List
Spoiler:

So that means it's Soul Silver today,my goal today is to try to beat Red so I can get a Bulbasaur.So I can breed it for an Egg for my Favorite Challenge.
 
Pokemon Ruby - Water Monotype.
Team at the end of the day : Mudkip Lv. 5 (Pert-Derp).
I forgot I had this opened, so, it just clocked 1 hour and a half with only picking Pert and then, ...well, closing it, since it was Wednesday already ! xD

Spoiler:


Next in Line : Yellow. Hm... I think I was doing a Triospecies with the three starters, but I'll see what I'll do. Probably, just a regular run, or doing with no Pokeballs.... I'll think.
 
[spoiler]Green, Leaf Green, Sapphire, Ruby, Blue, Gold, Crystal, Yellow, White, Soul Silver, Black, Emerald, Diamond, Heart Gold, Pearl, Platinum, Red, Fire Red, Silver[/spoiler]


Pokemon Blue - Survival Challenge
Play time: 3:47
Progress: Pallet-Cerulean
Pokemon at the end of the day:

Spoiler:


When I get more teammembers (For example, I'm planning to beat Bellsprout...I just don't have one yet because I lost my first Nugget Bridge rival battle attempt.) I will probably have less problems with HP and more with PP.

Tomorrow I'll be playing Gold, the Anime challenge. I suppose it will be heavy Bulbapedia browsing time once again, since I never watched the anime constantly and haven't watched it at all for years.

This is by far the worst progress I have made on this challenge. I shouldn't have played today, because I was too distracted by other things. But I chose to and didn't get very far. At least I got a badge, and that's good enough for me. Thrashed my rival...named SILVER. I'm sure it was accidental, cause I hate all caps. And I used my Crystal ROM for this one, so yeah. 3/5 of my team was hacked, haha. But whatever, it's a ROM. This was a normal playthrough, not a challenge, so that's always nice. But most of my time was spent grinding. :( Nothing much to say.

End status:

The Manga challenge.... BULBAPEDIA TIME.

I probably won't get really far with this today, I don't have much time.
Also, I will be absent for the next week (starting tomorrow), and not play during that time. So, Yellow will have to be wait until Saturday the 9th.


Pokemon Crystal - Manga Character challenge (as Eusine)
Play time: something low
Progress: Started in NBT, played until first rival battle
Pokemon at the end of the day:
Level 9 Voltorb with Tackle and Screech. That's it.

Well, it's only a bit over 6PM here, but I have to pack my stuff now, and then go to bed early because I'll be leaving REEAAALLLY early tomorrow morning. Ugh.
