    This is where I'm at right now.

    Summary-

    Well, it turns out I didn't need as long as I thought, and I just started my Poison-type run.

    Here's what I've accomplished thus far:

    -Started game.
    -Picked up Surfboard (Mudkip) as my starter. I'll be using him as an HM slave later on.
    -Got to May without encountering a single wild Pokemon!
    -Fought May, Surfboard grew to lv6.
    -Got Pokedex.
    -Caught 2 Zigzagoon as "Pickup slaves."
    -Went from Littleroot to Rustboro. Did the usual story-related activities, fought as few trainers as possible.
    -Arrived in Rustboro with Surfboard at lv10.
    -Fought Roxanne (and gym trainers), Surfboard grew to lv14 in the process.
    -Did usual Rustboro quests (the Devon guy and the Aqua grunt). Surfboard grew to lv15.
    -Headed to Dewford, went immediately to the cave and caught Dracula, a lv7 Zubat and my first real team member.
    -Backtracked to fight the trainers I skipped.

    Some notes:
    -Zigzagoon's Pickup. I had never bothered with it before, but with only 2 Zigzagoons, at this point, I've already acquired a Full Restore, Rare Candy, 2 Nuggets, a Full Heal, and an Ultra Ball. I'm definitely keeping the Zigzagoons in my party, at least for the time being.
    -Zubat is very difficult to train from the level it's at. The only attacks it knows are Leech Life (a 20-damage, non-STAB move) and Supersonic (with only 55% accuracy, it can't ever be counted on). I actually had to use Surfboard when faced with a lv8 Taillow because Dracula couldn't do much of anything against it. Hopefully this will be the last time I need to use Surfboard in battle. I'm going to grind Dracula on wild Pokemon until it learns at least one better move before I try fighting any more trainers.

    Current team (I'll only list details of my actual team members):

    Dracula/Zubat
    ---Level 9
    --Moves:
    -Leech Life
    -Supersonic
    -None
    -None

    Surfboard/Mudkip (Future HM Slave)

    Zigzagoon "Pickup Slave" x2 (No nicknames)

    Potential Future Team Additons: Gulpin, Tentacool, Seviper (Feel free to suggest more)

  • I started a new monotype under the fighting category....
    Name: King!
    Type: Fighting
    Game: Emerald
    Since I'm doing it on a gameboy and have no ways to take pcis... I'm on an honor system. :P And my updates will most likely be rubbish. But right now I'm just training. My character is King, my Torchic(Blankey) is level 15, and Shroomish(Brella) is 10. I'm in the route that connects to Rusturf Tunnel.

    I beat Roxanne yesterday. I expected to use Combusken(it evolved) but all I needed was Brella. And so now they're both level 16. And I have one badge. And I can go save elves from pirates. <3<3
    Oh, and, yaaaaaay someone who's doing it on a handheld device!

    I would do it on gameboy, but I prefer VBA because of the super speed button that makes grinding go wicked fast. Kind of cheating, I know, but hey, I don't really care.

    Gonna be posting a big update soon.

    UPDATE:

    Pokemon Grinding. (for levels).

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!

    Pfft.

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!

    They actually gave me a bit more trouble than I thought...

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!

    Now that I got Dive, I got a water stone from the sunken ship, and finished my team.

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!

    I saved the world. Killed the Groudon. Don't care.

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!

    WALLAS

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!

    That's right, Calm Mind sweep. Even Milotic got one-shotted by Psychic.

    Now I'm gonna go do some side questing and then take on the E4.

    By side question, I meant getting this TM:

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!

    I'm sure we all know why I needed that.

    Anyhow. Victory Road. Sucks.

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!

    Ew Wally.

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!

    My Gardevoir > yours.

    And then after only like twenty minutes of grinding, I'm happy with my team.

    Here's one final look before the Elite Four:

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!


    UPDATE:

    Well everyone I took a ton of screenshots and was gonna make this a cool post but there were just too many screenshots so I'll type it all out.

    Sidney:
    Medicham Hi Jump Kicked his way to a very easy victory here.

    Phoebe:
    Problems. The first Dusclops easily survived Alakazam's Shadow Balls and killed me with a few Shadow Punches. I had to struggle with the rest of my fast and hard hitting team. Starmie defeated the Sableye with a critical surf.

    Glacia:
    Medicham shines again. Fighting types are beast in this game. I won with 5 Hi Jump Kicks, plain and simple.

    Drake:
    I discovered that Solrock's Explosion is really freakin awesome. His Salamence scared me so I blew it up, and then my strong Psychics just defeated the rest of his team. No need for Ice moves.

    Steven:
    Skarmory fell in one hit to Alakazam's Shock Wave.
    Aggron died in one hit from Starmie's surf.
    Cradily and Armaldo both died to a Hi Jump Kick.
    Claydol died to a couple surfs.
    Metagross...screw this thing. Used at least 20 revives. He got like +4 attack from Meteor Mash which never missed. I had to stall him out until he used Hyper Beam so I could bring in Gardevoir to Hypnosis him and use Starmie's surf a few times for the win.

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge!

    CHAMP
