I have intentions of continuing, I just need to make sure I don't lose this when my parents turn off the router. I realise that this is turning into more of a RP than a log, but whatever.

*posts, hopefully inducing suspense.*

Haha it's okay. RP's are better than Logs. SUSPENSE. But, btw, what is your team...? I highly doubt you made it to the elite 4 with buterfree solo lol.

ANYWHO. My small update (because I was too lazy to edit my last post)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull *shot* (Part 4):

Now that I have my Lobster, I need to do some henious griding. Obviously I can't put him up against the trainers here for now, so I'll just go to Cerulean. And I did just that until he was sucessfully level 25 and learned Guillotine ^_^. That was great, so I flew back to Lavender town and trained him up to a Kingler on route 8. Speaking of which, now that he has evolved, I am in need of a better name. So I went with Angler. Much better. Now it was off to the Celadon Gym to defeat with my extremely overpowered team those weak grass types. I mean, come on, level 29?
------
Turns out that Angler's weak special stat was the bane of him. With one Giga Drain, the enemy Victorybell (spelling?) sucked all life out of Kingler. Good thing Jormungand kills everything below level 35 with one Bite. And so, I was presented with the Rainbow Badge yay! flowers and unicorns!, which brought me one step closer to me rival and his level 40 Venusaur.

My team (NO PIX 4 U! This update was not long enough to warrant a photo.

Blastoise/Dart
Level 41
-Water Gun
-Withdraw
-Bubble
-Bite

Gyarados/Jormungand
Level 40
-Tackle
-Dragon Rage
-Bite
-Water Gun

Kingler/Angler
Level 30
-Vicegrip
-Leer
-Bubble
-Guillotine

Closing Comments:_______________
Well, I've got a good team so far, even if Angler is a bit weak. But no matter- he'll get trained at Silph Co. Also, I believe that Poliwrath would be a splendid addition to my team. Either him or starmie, because at least one of them can learn psychic, and the other can learn... GIGA IMPACT

The thread starter hasn't been active in 5 days, so feel free to start without approval. xD

Guys, should I stick with my detailed updates, or just put in a brief version? I'm much further than my updates because they're a chore to write.

I'll go grass. My next update won't come in a while, though, I'm going on vacation. But I'm bringing my GB.

Hmm.. Still accepting challengers?
I'll give it a go.
Well, as long as emulators are allowed.
I kind of gave away my blue version years ago.
I'll tryyy... Water type!

Okayyy, since I'm still the last post, I'll just edit this one with my first update.. Rather than double-posting.

- Chose Squirtle (No, I don't do nicknames. My mind isn't creative enough.)
- Beat Gary's Bulbasaur. Go Tackle?
- Caught Pidgey and Rattatatata...ta.. However you spell that.
Pidgey is my future fly slave, and Rat...whatever was supposed to be my cut slave, although I found out the hard way that it can't learn cut.. (WTF?)
- Beat Brock easily with Squirtle alone.
- Squirtle evolved into Wartortle shortly after the battle with Brock.
- Made my way through Mt. Moon and arrived in Cerulean City.
- Beat Gary easily, and went up the Nugget Bridge and to Bill's house.
- Beat Misty easily with my now level 30 Wartortle. (What a beast.)
- Went to Vermillion City, earning a bike voucher for listening to the Poke Club President's lame love letter of a story about his Rapidash.
- Got an Old Rod and caught myself a future Gyarados.
- Went on the SS Anne, beating everyone on board, including Gary. Easily, of course.
- Got the Cut HM.

Currently finding a Pokemon able to perform Cut, since Rat boy failed me.
The Electric type gym should be interesting though. I don't see this ending well.

I also started the mono challenge with Flying pokes, if the topic creator doesn't mind.
How would he, he wasn't here a long time anyways.

-Started the game.
-Named myself ADEMIR and my Rival BLUE.
-Withdrew the potion.
-Picked Charmander as my starter and sweeped the floor with my rival.
-Did the Parcel quest.
-Bought 6 Poke Balls.
-Catched a Pidgey, Spearow and Caterpie.
-Trained all of them to lvl's 10-15.
-Took on Brock with my un-Butterfree'd Metapod as a lead.
-Switched Meta for Charmander, killed Geodude and Onix.
-Meta and Charma evolved.

Team:

Charmeleon
Lv16
Ember
Scratch
Growl
Leer

Butterfree
Lv10
Tackle
String Shot

Pidgey
Lv15
Gust

Quick Attack

Spearow
Lv12
Peck
Growl
Leer
 
^ Errh.. aren't you supposed to use Pidgey alone once you catch it, since it was the first flying type you caught?
Using Charmander against Brock sort of defeats the purpose of a monotype challenge, doesn't it? :\

Anyways, I played Blue all day. Because I need a life. ...Seriously. I played it for 11 hours straight.
Like holy horse balls. :\

Therefore, so much happened in 11 hours, that I'm not going to share an update, just my current team.
I currently have 6 badges.

The Team:
Gyarados
Level: 42
Moves: Thuderbolt
Surf
Hydro Pump
Body Slam
Blastoise
Level: 41
Moves: Bite
Mega Punch
Surf
Bubblebeam
Vaporeon
Level: 41
Moves: Surf
Bite
Ice Beam
Quick Attack
Seaking
Level: 36
Moves: Surf
Horn Drill
Supersonic
Skull Bash
Kingler
Level: 32
Moves: Guillotine
Cut
Strength
Surf
Slowpoke
Level: 30
Moves: Earthquake
Surf
Headbutt
Psywave
 
Actually, Charmeleon eventually evolves into Charizard, which is part flying, no?
And anyways a mono team allows a poke that's not of the chosen type.
 
Sounds fun! Ill do this with Fire and the game is red.
 
I'll update this with sprites when I have access to a real computer, but I finished my Bug Run. Here are the stars of the show.

I cleared out Indigo Plateau's finest with no problems, using that team. Sorry it couldn't be more in depth. Questions are cool with me.
