I don't mean to sound like an ass, but this seems a lot more tedious than it is fun or challenging. In my normal runs when I grind, I absolutely despise it and just want to move on. If your Pokes are overleveled the game will be too easy, if you spend hours killing the same pokemon, this becomes extremely tedious and boring.

Maybe there's something I'm not understanding here. The challenge is ridiculous not because of the difficulty, but because of how tedious it is to do it, from what I understand?
 
Ummm, yeah, it IS tedious, but it kills time.

Update Something

Ground Hoothoot and Totodile to Level Nineteen. Totodile evolved into Croconaw. Beat Sprout Tower. Ground Hoothoot to Level Twenty. Beat Violet City Gym. Ground Croconaw to Level Twenty. Spoke to Elm over PokeGear. Recieved Mystery egg. Spoke to Kimono Girl. Saved.

Team: Hoothoot Level Twenty, Croconaw Level Twenty, Egg.
Total Play Time : 9 Hours, 30 Minutes
 
Name: Axryn
Game: Yellow
Mode: INSANE

Some may not agree with this, but due to the fact that it actually increases the challenge I don't see a problem with it. But I used a hack to get master balls so that I can catch the base pokemon of every evolutionary chain without fault. I had actually already started this challenge on my own before I ever found this so I'm currently in Vermillion at level 25, working on getting my Squirtle and those caught on route 5 to that level. I will be reaching the appropriate level for this challenge before moving on to the next area.
So basically I have caught every wild pokemon possible up to Vermillion including fishing for Magikarp. Most are at level 25 and the rest will be soon and before going on to Lavender town I will have every pokemon caught so far plus those on the way to Lavender and even a Digglett from Digglett's cave to level 40. I would restart the game in order to do the challenge properly but I've already put in about 25 fast forwarded hours and I'm not redoing all that.
And just fyi I am playing this on phone and the ONLY hack I used was one to make master balls $0 in the mart in order to have more pokemon to complete this challenge with.
