    Update #1: Furret/Linoone - Fire Red
    I accidentally deleted Tackle for Sand-Attack on Linoone and that's less than ideal with Linoone's poor PP on Headbutt.

    Since Fire Red has been completed, I am now moving on to HeartGold. I expect this to be the hardest game due to having to defeat Red with only two Pokemon, but thankfully this Gen is much kinder to Golduck. I will update this post with the log of the game and will notify when I complete it. Afterwards, I will move on to Omega Ruby.

    EDIT: Sorry it took so long to to add the log. I wasted an ENTIRE day grinding for coins in the game corner to buy the TMs for Ice Beam and Thunderbolt. But alas, here is the mostly completed log of Heartgold.
    EDIT 2: All 16 badges have been collected! All there is to do now is grind for Red! Expect an update later tonight for his defeat!
    EDIT 3: Red has been beaten! The team ended up being Golduck Lv. 86 and Mr. Mime Lv. 88. Snorlax was the hardest by far of his team due to his massive bulk, and the rest were somewhat challenging but manageable with abusing their weaknesses and hail.

    2/6 Gens are now complete in my Ultimate run! HG was likely the hardest mainly due to grinding, so I'm expecting some faster updates! I'll now start on Omega Ruby and trade over the duo as eggs, and the Exp. Share will be OFF for this run! I will update this post with the log, so get ready!

    EDIT: The log is started! So far it's only Roxanne beaten due to a family emergency, but have no fear! More is coming!
    EDIT 2: Sorry for the delay! Things have been pretty busy at school at whatnot, so progress will resume shortly. Now there's just a single badge left to get!
    EDIT 3: Game complete! Steven has been beaten! Complete log below.

    So I got further and earned 4 badges, and I had no problems with any of them really...
    Snorlax made a splashing impression after demolishing Misty... welp, at least I tried to be original.
    Dratini than makes his first major appearance when he wrap spams My rival to death, and Lt. Surge follows shortly after that.
    Made it through Rock Tunnel with no problems except PP.
    Crushed Rival using the combination of Dragonair's Wrap + Thunderbolt and Snorlax's Bubblebeam against Sandshrew.
    Erika was easily defeated by Dragonair's Wrap + Body Slam Combo.
    And now I'm currently about to take on The Rocket Base to get that Silph Scope.

    Current Team
    Snorlax Level 36
    -Psychic
    -Ice Beam
    -Body Slam
    -Submission
    Dragonair Level 36
    -Wrap
    -Body Slam
    -Thunder Wave
    -Thunderbolt
    HM Slave
    Charmander Level 10 (Cut)

    Snorlax Stats:174 HP/102 Attack/64 Defense/37 Speed/68 Special
    Dragonair Stats:109 HP/84 Attack/65 Defense/70 Speed/72 Special

    And that's it but I'm gonna try to beat Yellow tonight and move on to Crystal. If I do at least get 8 Badges than I'll update again.

    With Omega Ruby completed, I'm halfway through the challenge! I'm moving on to Platinum next, so I'll update this post with the log of the game.

    EDIT: Log has been added!
    EDIT 2: Sorry for the delay again! But once again, I needed to grind for money to purchase TMs!

    Username: ColourcodedGB
    Version: Pokemon Ruby
    Single/Ultimate?: Single
    Pokemon: Sceptile/Mawile

    I will be playing Pokemon Ruby with treecko's evolutionary line, and a Mawile. I have no hacking devices, but since Mawile is obtainable almost immediately after the first gym where I'd be using trecko only anyways, I feel this is a fair set up. On my most recent playthrough these two Pokemon worked pretty well together, so I'm going to see if the two of them can finish the whole game, despite neither one being particularly good. If I even make it to the elite four, I'd consider the playthrough a victory.

    Will update as I progress.

    Sorry I have not posted in like a week or two. I've just been busy with life and other stuff, but now I'm ready to start posting again. I beat Yellow which gave me no trouble throughout the rest of the game except when trying to manage my pp at the elite four, as I forgot to grab my elixirs and ethers out my pc x_x but either way Yellow is complete. Now onto Crystal. Hopefully this won't be hard when it comes to Red...

    Hey man, are we allowed to use roms such as perfect soul silver, emerald Z, Blaze Black 2, etc? They are base games that are a bit more harder due to more pokemon available and a revamped move/learnset?

    Yes, you can use those in both Single and Ultimate, as long the region and story are still pretty much the same.
    Full Hacks however (new region and story, like Light Platinum) can only be used in singles.
