  • After I completed my first game of Diamond I played the game through using only a Starly and it's evolutions and I think it was around level 90 by the end of the E4. That's the only one I've done this gen (I did several in R/S/E). For those who want to do these type of playthroughs, remember that grinding is a major part of success and, yes, it does get old quick but it is a nice challenge.

  • I beat Pearl with only Infernape first time, I find it a lot easier then training up a whole party. I've also beaten it only training Torterra, I haven't actually tried soloing it with another Pokemon xD. It sounds fun, just hasn't entered my head :S

  • I did this when I was younger and R/B had just came out. I remember it being extremely easy, my Venusaur's Razor Leaf destroyed everything, and if I ran out of PP Cut sufficed. It really wasn't that much fun. That Ditto run sounds very interesting though, maybe I will try that someday.

  • One Yellow cartridge. One Nidoran. One hundred levels of pain.

    Yes, I beat Yellow with a Nidoran. It was Lv. 40 before I'd left Pewter City. I read somewhere that pressing "B" when evolving until Lv. 100 would get you a Mew. X_X

  • its zerwey not zerway xP

    also, my infernape's at level 91 and only in Victory Road... :D

    His moveset actually covers for his weaknesses -- he has Grass Knot and ThunderPunch.

  • its actually very easy to beat the game with only 1-2 pokes since you will be very high leveled in the end of the game, and if you have a team of like5-6 pokes chances are you will be underleveled and have a really hard time against the E4

  • I tried this once back in my friends Gold version. The thing is that he had a saved game in which he had over 100 hours of playtime, so i couldn't delete his file. I selected new game just to play a little bit, but I ended up getting up to the seventh badge without saving the game once. I used only Typhlosion for the entire run.

  • It's really not that hard to beat D/P with only one Pokémon. I managed to do it with a Skitty and some HM slaves. :/
