Sing me up !

I'll be doing a solo Run with...Hmmmm....

How about with Infernape ! ;D

I shall do this challenge on Platinum version .
I'll start as soon as I'm added to the list (:
 
I feel so excited! My first solo run, ever! I only waited this long to sign up because I was frantically searching for my Pt game case lol.

Okay, I'll be playing Platinum and trading over an egg containing my soon-to-be faithful sidekick, Dratini. Which I will evolve all the way. =3 I can't wait to meet the little guy. Or girl, y'never know. And I'll be starting the challenge tomorrow. If I'm accepted, that is ^_^;.
 
Sorry guys, I just got back from a vacation with my friends where there was supposedly internet, but one of my friends lied and there really wasn't any. But I'm back now, so things will be picking up once again as soon as I finish updating. Both our new challengers are added to the list, as well as one of our veteran challengers. If I forget to include anyone's update, just PM me and I'll fix it as soon as I can. Thanks guys!

Update!

  • Started in Twinleaf Town. Named myself Elise and my rival Lee.
  • Headed out with Lee for adventure, bumped into Prof Rowan, and.. Fancy that! For our foolishness he rewarded us with pokemon! Chose Chimchar.
  • Went home, talked to my mom, she said have fun and gave me a journal :)
  • Caught my first pokie! Only to trade it for my precious Dratini egg, with whom I will be doing the challenge
  • Hatched my egg (gosh this took forever... I think ten thousand some odd steps xD). It was a girl, named her Toothless.
  • Oh yeah, she hatched with the eggmove Hyper Beam, but it's still practically useless at level 1, FYI.
  • Went through Jubilife, defeated Lee no problem, then on to Oreburgh.
  • Arrived in Oreburgh, talked to Roark and then lost once to him. (actually, is Roark a boy or a girl, I can never tell.) It was disappointing but I'm trying again as I type.

Pokemon
Dratini (Toothless)
Level: 15
Moves
Dragon Rage
Twister
Hyper Beam
Thunder Wave


  • Argh... I was really close to defeating Roark (it was a lot easier with Dragon Rage...) But his/her stupid Cranidos keeps Headbutting me to death...

I'll post more later. Here goes for try number three against Roark.. D:<

EDIT: Defeated Roark!!! Cranidos used Leer first instead of Headbutt, and then I finished him off with 2 hits of Dragon Rage.. Thank Gawd.....

*yawn* Here's an update.
  • So, I beat Rourk, that's old news. Left Oreburgh.
  • Defeated the two Team Galactic Grunts, with a little help from Lucas and headed up to Floaroma.
  • Helped out the little girl to save her father. Which included getting into the Valley Windworks and defeating Mars.
  • Beat all the Trainers on Route 205.
  • Made it through Eterna Forest with the help of Cheryl. (OMG, we're, like, totally BFF's now. Ya. :))
  • Met Cynthia... Saw Lee... Blah blah blah.
  • Defeated Gardenia and got the Forest Badge, which was a piece of cake ^_^
  • Cynthia gave me an egg... Went down the bike road, went through that cave, Mt. Whatever-it-is-called, I can't quite recall at the moment.
  • Uhm. Saw my mom, I guess that she's big into showing Pokemon and I never knew it. Who knew, eh?
  • Made it though Fantina's gym trainers, (Evolved Toothless at lvl 31 into Dragonair!) then beat Fantina with only 2 HP left. Whew....
  • Now I'm on Route 209. Woot. :)

This is going to be my first solo run on the 4th Gen games. I was thinking carefully about what pokemon would be right for this kind of challenge. In the end I chose Staryu. I think its a powerful pokemon, it can learn thunderbolt, psychic, ice beam, and surf.
If I can I'd like to sign up with a Staryu (i'll use pokemon modifier code to get it early). Also I'll be using Pokemon Diamond.
P.S Elise you don't start in Newbark, you start in Twinleaf :)

EDIT:
Started The game,
Named myself Andy
Named rival Jake
Picked Turtwig as starter
Got through all the crap to get my poke balls
caught a lv 5 Staryu: named it Vars
Saved game, taking a break.

I might join this... Im finishing my poison mono-type though..
Hmmmmm.... What to do...... I think ill give it a try after my mono-type..
Can i reserve a pokemon?? If so i want to reserve Gengar. =]
 
(ugh... just spent a day in the car... Yay roadtrips? Unluckily, I can't really play in the car because it makes me sick :\)

So, UPDATE:
  • Left Hearthome City after getting the badge, Beat Rival Lee.
  • Up Route 209 to Solaceon Town, I didn't spend much time there though, skipped the ruins, I'll come back later to explore and do the Unown. I was a little too bored to do it then.
  • Beat all the trainers on Route 210 and made it to Veilstone.
  • Trained up a bit then took on the 3rd gym leader (what's her name again? Marlene?) Beat her on the second try xD.
  • Trained some more on Route 214 then helped Ethan get his Pokedex back.
  • Got HM Fly.


Sorry it's so short, I'll edit it in a bit. I've been playing SS and Pearl a lot lately too so I haven't spent as much time on is as I could've...
