The HATED Pokemon Challenge!

[CelticsPhan]

THE HATED POKEMON CHALLENGE!!!

You've been playing pokemon for quite a while. Naturally, you've liked some more than others, no matter how much of a loving trainer you are. There are some designs that are your absolute favorite, so much so that you search for them in every game you play.

Then there's the opposite. The pokemon you whole-heartedly hate, the ones that you despise with every fiber of your being. Those designs so bad that you cringe everytime you see them. The ones you would release into the wild without hesitation if your sibling every got a hold of your game.

It's time for a change. You're older now, you shouldn't hold such evil grudges towards pixels in a video game! And so you begin your journey, a chance to change your opinion on that one (or six!) pokemon you never liked. Who knows? You might find it to be somewhat capable. And if you still don't like it? You must endure an entire playthrough with them!!!

Rules:
-No legendaries. You'll learn to like them too easily.
-Hacking/Cheating to bring in Pokemon is ALLOWED. Just to get the Pokes of course.
-Not restricted to any games, just as long as you find Pokemon you hate!
-No more than 6 pokemon total, so that means you can't box/store/catch Pokemon you didn't plan to use.
-Trading for Evolutions is allowed, and you are allowed to evolve all of your Pokemon.
-I'm lax with HM slaves, I'd prefer you not to hack for your slaves, but you may do so.

Optional Rules:

Spoiler:

-Nuzlocke it, so fainted = dead, Restriction on healing items and PokeCenters
-Do it on multiple games. (You are allowed to switch some Pokemon after you finish one)
-Defeat all the Legendaries with your bros!

Challenge ends when you defeat:

Spoiler:

R/B/Y/G: Your Rival, Blue the Champion.
G/S/C: Red
R/S/E: Wallace/Steven the Champion. Optional Rule is defeating Steven at Meteor Falls in Emerald
D/P/Pt: Champion Cynthia
HG/SS: Red
B/W: Alder
BW/W2:N

I'll participate in my hated Pokemon run so you know it's real.

Could you resize that image, please? It's stretching my screen and that's just...not appealing. :x If you can't resize it, maybe just replace that image with a sprite of Bidoof instead? Thanks!

 

[Harmonious Fusion]

I actually did this in Black 2 last year, and it totally changed my opinion of Garbodor and Probopass. Can I post my info?

Dunsparce

Spoiler:

In the end, I gained a lot of respect for Probopass and Garbodor, who ended up being my two main Pokemon. I still hate the others, but I did at least learn that Stunfisk and Jynx are decent battlers. Bibarel was a great HM slave, if nothing else, and Dunsparce was dead weight for most of the run.

UPDATE #1:

Spoiler:

Why do I hate Swinub?

Swinub and its family line are easily my least favorite Pokemon.That design is terrible. An eyesore. That thing isn't even cute, it's a disgusting swine. Its evo Piloswine looks even worse with those tusks and that pig nose. And that fur, ugh I cannot look at it.
It is a swine, so I nicknamed my Swinub "Swine".

Why Yanma?

Not a fan of design. Blanking annoying with that Speed Boost ability, the high speed, the Double Team/Detect strategy, I can't stand Yanma. If Pokemon were real, I would have a newspaper ready for Yanmas. Yanma is an absolute pest. Nicknamed him "Pest" to reflect my hatred.

Why Koffing?

Since Gen 1 I have thought the Koffing line and a lot of other Poison types looked awful. I mean, a cloud of gas and pollution? Do people even like Koffing? Gen 3 Koffing's sprite went for a more appealing, cutesy approach. I would have none of this. Also, Koffing has been an annoyance with its Toxic and poisoning techniques, useless besides that.
"Toxic" will be his nickname because I'm uncreative.

Here is where I try to bond with these three abominations.

Now for the game:

-Caught Yanma, Koffing, Swinub
-Grind before Roxanne, each one is Lv.14
-Swinub learns Powder Snow, a breakthrough from spamming Normal attacks.
-Sweep Roxanne with Swinub
-Progress through the game, reach Brawly
-Pokemon are now Lv.18
-Brawly was relatively difficult, his Makuhita was a nuisance as always.
-Relied on Koffing and Yanma here, Poison Gas helped inflict damage on Brawly's Pokes
-Defeated Brawly, now going through Slateport
-Rival Fight #2 on the route from Slateport to Mauville, better known as the hardest fight in the game, happens.
-Take out Rival's first mon with Yanma, out comes Combusken
-Combusken crushes my Yanma and Swinub, now rely on Koffing to clutch
-Use Sludge after poisoning Combusken to faint it, GG.
-Mauville baby! Pokemon are Lv.25 facing Wattson
-Use Swinub because of Electric immunity, beats first two Pokemon
-Dat Manectric, Quick Attack after a few Howls becomes deadly
-Bring in Koffing to Poison, Yanma saves the day!

3 badges after ~9 hours of gameplay.

 

[«Chuckles»]

Count me in for Pokemon Red. let me look through the sprites of the first 151 so I can figure out who I hate. some sprites were better than others.

 

[dave88]

I'm in to do the challenge on Pokemon X once I get my copy for Christmas.

My team will be:

Klefki (looks the like the dud Pokemon of Gen 6 to me!)
Dunsparce (seems kinda pointless with so many better normal types out there)
Plant Cloak Wormadam (why would I ever choose it over its other two cloaks?)
Shedninja (they are always annoying to fight, but I feel like they would be easily killed by my opponents every time)
Sylveon (maybe it's just me, but he seems too different in design from the other Eeveelutions)
Luvdisc (pretty bland and uncreative design, in my opinion)

 

[CelticsPhan]

Hey everyone! I'm still here lol

UPDATE #2

Spoiler:

-Go through the routes in fiery Path, reach Fallarbor
-Back to Fiery Path, I go up to Mt. Chimney
-Maxie fight was wicked hard, that Mightyena
-Still nothing has evolved yet!
-Reach Lavaridge and fight Flannery

FLANNERY (Badge #4)
-Beat up Slugma and Numel with Koffing
-In comes Camerupt, suicide strats for Yanma, which does some damage on Camerupt
-Swinub also falls in this fight, both have a glaring Fire weakness
-Koffing poisons and kills Camerupt
-In comes Torkoal! I poison and Selfdestruct for the win.
-This kills the crab.

-Boring trip back to Petalburg

NORMAN (Badge #5)

-Spinda and Linoone aren't that difficult
-Here comes Slaking! Still have no evolved Pokemon.
-Slaking destroys my Pokemon without any problem. I lose this fight.

-Now to grind Swinub, who is only Lv.31 at this time.
-Fight 500 Sandshrews and Trapinches to evolve to Piloswine

NORMAN: THE REMATCH

-Yanma defeats Spinda and Linoone
-Slaking. Yanma gets an attack off before being executed by one Facade.
-Out comes Koffing, I poison his Slaking (In hindsight this was a terrible idea, I'm glad he didn't use Facade once afterwards)
-I break out the new Piloswine, who can actually stand a hit from Slaking.
-Four strengths are enough to beat it
-Vigoroth was easy and I win!!!

-Get Surf and go east of Mauville to Route (Infestation of trees).
-Fight those trainers and reach Weather Institute
-Team Aqua is a pushover lol
-Koffing evolves into Weezing!!!
-I meet up with my rival

RIVAL FIGHT #4 (Route 119)

-Yanma dies again but take Pelipper with it
-I send in Piloswine to defeat Combusken
-Weezing sweeps up Lombre with Sludge.

-Get Fly and Devon Scope, challenge Winona in Fortree

WINONA (Badge #6)

-Piloswine and Weezing for this one.

So there you have it, I'll complete this soon.

[CelticsPhan]

UPDATE #3 (and final)

Long read.

Spoiler:

Thus begins my road to the championship with a team of misfits. Winona was no threat at all, but everything afterwards was tough. I'll get to the important stuff.

-Beat Team Aqua at Mt. Pyre, enter Magma's hideout in Jagged Pass
-Nothing important except the Maxie fight

MAXIE
-Mightyena always a pest with Intimidate, I need Weezing to take him out
-Next comes Crobat, who I defeat with Piloswine
-Camerupt last. I use Weezing here after Yanma fainted lol

-Stop Team Aqua in Lilycove without much opposition
-Yes! I love Surfing! Especially in Emerald! *sarcasm*
-Arrive in Mossdeep

TATE & LIZA (Badge #7)
-Weezing now knows Explosion, I abuse that here
-Tons of Hyper Potions and Revival Herbs, tough battle
-Take down Lunatone and Solrock with Explosion
-Doesn't completely kill, Steel Wing from Yanma does the trick though
VICTORY!

-The Mossdeep Space Center, my last stop in Mossdeep
-Team up with Steven in the most bro-tier battle in the game!
-Send in Weezing to defeat Mightyena and Crobat
-Piloswine takes care of the Camerupts with help from Steven
-Yanma beats the last two Pokes

-More surfing *yawn*
-Reach Sootopolis, go challenge Juan

JUAN (Badge #8)

-I fight EVERY trainer in this gym, and I recommend everyone playing Emerald do this
-Note: Juan's Kingdra is a dark horse in the discussion for toughest Pokemon to fight in Pokemon Emerald. Norman's Slaking and Wattson's Magneton
are in my opinion, the biggest threats that Gym Leaders have.

-Lol at Luvdisc and Whiscash
-Sealeo, after 5 Shock Waves from Weezing, falls
-In comes Kingdra. My strat here was to poison it
-However, Juan kept healing like a stiff
-I went YOLO and just Exploded on Kingdra, which is all you can do against a pain like that.
-Crawdaunt-Oh, he's already dead.
WINNER

I get HM's and all that, make my way to Victory Road

WALLY

-For Altaria, STAB Powder Snow with Piloswine
-Stick with Pilo for Roselia and Magneton
-Weezing for Delcatty, and an easy faint
-Gardevoir was a twin killing by Yanma and Piloswine.

-I fight most of the trainers here which i recommend
-Oh hey we're out!

PREPARATION FOR THE CHAMP

-I teach Weezing Sludge Bomb
-Piloswine gets Earthquake and Ice Beam, with a fantastic moveset
-I buy some Revival Herbs and Full Restores, but stupidly I didn't buy enough

ELITE FOUR: SIDNEY
-Weezing? Yeah. Weezing. Next!

ELITE FOUR: PHOEBE
-Yanma knows Aerial Ace, which is helpful with the Double Teaming Dusclops.
-Notice that I use Weezing a lot here, that defensive bulk was an advantage.
-Not very hard overall.

ELITE FOUR: GLACIA

-Sealeos: Shock Wave with Weezing
-One Glalie is easy, but the other I had to Explode on
-Revive Weezing and since EXP doesn't matter that much, I Explode on Walrein.

ELITE FOUR:DRAKE

-Just hold on, we're going home
-Piloswine learns Blizzard, which is pretty clutch
-Shelgon: Blizz
-Kingdra: one Blizz, and an Explosion from Weezing
-The rest, including Salamence are no problem with Blizzard.

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've sort-of been waiting for after reading this ~4000 character monstrocity.....

CHAMPION WALLACE
-Such champion, very elegance
-Two Shock Waves to Gyarados!
-Two Piloswine Earthquakes to Whiscash!!!
-One Sludge Bomb on Ludicolo!
-Two Shocks and a Sludge Bomb to Wailord!
-One Earthquake to Tentacruel!
-Milotic.........
EXPLOSION!!!!!!

Fitting that I go out with a bang. I am the Champion of Hoenn, accompanied by three of my worst enemies.

This challenge was a fresh change to a game I have played a million times already, and one of the last times I replay Emerald in a while.

Did I bond with them? Perhaps. Weezing turned out to be better than just a Toxic machine and is a very bulky Pokemon. Yanma, it died a ton, had terribad defense but also a helpful ability in Speed Boost. That said, Yanma is just an inferior version of Ninjask with a weaker moveset. Piloswine? Really good for a second evo. I regularly use his older brother Mamoswine in competitive VGC play and like it.

Cool challenge, liked it a lot, and can't wait for Round 2 with these Pokemon. Soon I'll start playing Pokemon Crystal with this same group. Thanks to anyone who survived through reading this, and I suggest you participate!

Final Info:

Swine (Piloswine) Lv.57 Hasty nature
Earthquake/Ice Beam/Blizzard/Strength

Toxic (Weezing) Lv.57 Jolly nature
Secret Power/Sludge Bomb/Shock Wave/Explosion

Pest (Yanma) Lv.55 Lonely nature
Aerial Ace/Protect/Steel Wing/Double Team

 

[BlissyMKW]

Gen 1 has only one Pokemon I have an actual hatred for, and that's Seadra. Now, I love Kingdra, but I can't stand Seadra (and not just because the bots are lucky as hell in Pokemon Stadium with Seadra because they're never hurt by confusion and always land hits). Anyway, I guess I'll just be doing a Seadra solo on Blue...once I find out how to hack in Horsea as my starter on a Gen 1 game.

Name: KoboraX
Number of Games: 1 for now
Game: Blue
Pokemon: 1, and that's Seadra

EDIT:

• Started the game
• Hacked in Horsea in place of Squirtle as a starter option to make it fair
• Owned my rival
• Got killed by a wild Pidgey >_______>
• Delivered Oak's Parcel
• Bubble spammed my way through Viridian Forest until I could only Struggle
• Absolutely murdered Brock
• Started complaining a lot about Horsea's shallow movepool early on since I could only rely on Bubble as an attacking move until I got the Water Gun TM from Mt. Moon
• Finally learned Smokescreen at Lv. 19
• Got owned twice in Mt. Moon, but managed to get out.
• Went to Cerulean and beat my rival again
• Learned another non attacking move. GGs game.
• Bubblebeam destroyed tons of lives
• My Horsea evolved when I killed some Dugtrio in Diglett's Cave
• Cleared out the S.S Anne.
• Electric types...
• After getting through Rock Tunnel, Seadra wanted to learn yet another non attacking move.
• Finally got Seadra set up with a couple of attacking moves once I reached Celadon. Erika stands no chance now
• Took care of the Rocket Hideout and Pokemon Tower
• Took the long way to Fuchsia
• Got Surf and destroyed Koga
• Returned to Saffron and dealt with Sabrina after Silph Co.
• Headed back over to Celadon and destroyed Erika
• Made it over to Cinnabar via Pallet Town and destroyed Blaine
• Owned Giovanni
• Owned Victory Road
• You don't even want to know how bad the Elite Four got destroyed.

Team Zeus (Final)

Trident (Seadra) Lv. 79
Final Stats: 222/148/219/185/196
Moves: Surf, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Double-Edge

I still hate Seadra. It's shallow base of attacking moves in Gen 1 added onto my original hatred since it was annoying being forced to fight Grass types with Bubble and Water Gun. Bubblebeam made things easier, but it's just the fact of the matter that the shallow movepool in terms of attacking moves really bothered me throughout the playthough even though I swept through everything once Horsea evolved. And the reason why my Seadra is Lv. 79 is because I had saved up 6 Rare Candies up until after Lance, then just used them all to become even more overkill.​

 

[CelticsPhan]

I wanted to tackle Johto in one update for my Crystal run. Here it goes:

Spoiler:

-Caught Yanma, Koffing, Swinub
-Advanced through the beginning of the game
-For experience, I did the Sprout Tower before fighting Falkner.

FALKNER (Badge #1)
-Wicked easy fight because I had leveled Swinub up to Lv.10, learning Powder Snow
-STAB Ice moves = GG

-Go through Violet and Union Cave to Azalea
-Slowpoke Well wasn't hard, Swinub and Yanma did most of the job

BUGSY (Badge #2)
-Like I said, Swinub does great in the beginning of the game.
-Using unevolved Pokemon to get 5 badges is easier in Crystal than Emerald.
-Koffing takes care of everything besides Scyther
-Scyther was a combined effort, Yanmas were harmed in the making of this update.
-Koffing took some hits and finally defeated Scyther.

RIVAL FIGHT #2
-Azalea rival is without question the hardest fight in the game.
-For Gastly, I used Swinub's new STAB, Mud Slap. Luckily, Gastly only used Lick.
-Bayleef was taken down with a spam of Poison gas and Smog. Done.

-Stuff happened, not worth noting

WHITNEY (Badge #3)
-The Miltank is always a pain.
-I didn't want to lose so I fought every trainer from Goldenrod to the route leading to Ecruteak
-Here we go.
-Clefairy uses Metronome ROCK SLIDE, effectively OHKOing Yamna.
-I get some Headbutt flinches on the Clef with Swinub and beat it.
-For Miltank, I Poison it, because that thing is going to be Attracting and rolling out.
-Swinub and Koffing combine to finish Miltank after some lucky Rollout misses.

-Let's skip to Ecruteak, but finding the Rollout TM was a huge part in finishing Johto.

RIVAL FIGHT #3
-A bit easier this time around, and my team at this point is prepared.
-Swinub>Gastly Koffing>Bayleef Yanma> the rest

MORTY (Badge #4)
-I did some grinding before Morty because he's also frustrating
-Mud Slap with Swinub for all of the Gastlys, Yanma is useless here
-I get extremely lucky on this fight. Like 4-leaf cloverish.
-Morty's Gastly Curses first turn and Spites the second, so a 2HKO
-Send in Koffing, who now knows Rollout
-Morty doesn't hit a single Hypnosis, and Rollout didn't miss.
-I one-hit the Haunter and two-hit the Gengar with no threat!

I go to Olivine, one of my favorite cities in Pokemon.
-Lighthouse event, Surf to Cianwood
-Fight ALL the trainers in Whirl Islands area and Eusine.

CHUCK (Badge #5)
-Man, this was tough. His Poliwrath was a force.
-Primeape wasn't hard, and Yanma took it out
-One Surf was all it took to KO my Yamna. Embarrassing.
-No evolved Pokes yet, so I'm at a disadvantage.
-Resorted to Selfdestruct with Koffing, his Poli is down to 1/3 HP.
-Two misses on Hypnosis and DynamicPunch, so Swinub defeats it.

Back to Olivine.

JASMINE (Badge #6)
-I'm hilariously underleveled right now.
-Funniest fight I've ever seen
-Beat the Magnemite with Yanma's Sonicboom

-Steelix: I use Swinub. I use Mud Slap. Iron Tail misses. Mud Slap, Iron Tail misses, Mud Slap, Iron tail misses. 10 TIMES IN A ROW, and I win with a Lv.31 Swinub against a Lv.35 Steelix.

-Now I'm in Mahogany. I'll omit the Lake of Rage and Rocket Hideout stuff.
-Swinub ------> Piloswine!
-Koffing ------> Weezing!

PRYCE (Badge #7)
-Weezing and Piloswine do work here.
-Rollout with Weezing finishes Pryce.

-Ice Path, that Rocket event in Goldenrod with another easy Rival fight, and finally I reach Blackthorne City

CLAIR (Badge #8)
-I teach Piloswine Icy Wind, and all the Dragons get Iced out
-Clair isn't much trouble, save for KINGDRA.
-I Sludge with Weezing in hopes of Poisoning Kingdra, finally working.
-Except Clair has Full Restores. Shoot.
-Finally resort to Rollout, and 4 turns later I defeat Kingdra.

-Pokemon League time. There is no bad music in Crystal after you Surf up Tohjo Falls.

Victory Road, I teach EARTHQUAKE to Piloswine.

RIVAL FIGHT #5? (the last one in Johto)
-Weezing beasts on Sneasel
-For Meganium, I use Yanma's Wing Attack.
-Magneton and the rest are defeated by Piloswine.

ELITE FOUR

Remember how I said I was underleveled at Jasmine? Well, that came back to haunt me...

WILL
-I almost lost to this guy. For the first time ever.
-Xatu gets 2 hit by Pilo
-Slowbro and Exeggutor were a force. Weezing was OHKO'd by one Psychic.
-Finally, I right the ship and defeat him.

KOGA
-Yanma does a lot of the fighting here.
-Weezing's Rollout htakes care of the Bugs.

BRUNO
-Yanma takes care of the Hitmons
-Pilo beats the Onixs
-For Machamp, I get a lucky damage range and 2HKO it with Sludge Bomb.

KAREN
-"Strong Pokemon. Weak Pokemon. That is only the perception of selfish people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with their favorites"

-Very true, Karen, except I'm trying to win with my least favorites. I'm sure Karen hates Smogon and the idea of "perfect" pokemon.

-That said, she was the hardest fight. Even worse than Lance.
-I'm running extremely low on Revives and Full Restores.
-Umbreon was a pest, but I beat it with Weezing.
-I had Piloswine beat Gengar and a few others.

-Houndoom. That demon's Flamethrower nearly fainted my Piloswine, from full health to 4 HP. Revives are in short supply and I wanted to save them for Lance. Earthquake finally ends Houndoom's run. Winner!

CHAMPION LANCE
-Epic music
-Weezing leads against Gyara, Rollout kills it
-Rollout continues and I defeat a Lv.47 Dragonite
-Out comes Aerodactyl. Weezing uses Explosion and KOs it.
-I have literally no Pokemon or Revives left, except for Piloswine.
-Ironcially, my least favorite is all that remains, taking down one of my favorites, Dragonite.
-YOLO strats are in full effect, Icy Wind slows down DNite so i can 2HKO the Lv.50.

-Lance's last Pokemon is "Rock's Greatest Hits", Charizard. Unfortunately, I can't bring back Weezing to Rollout.
-My heart is pounding right now, I have no money to buy Revives if I die here.
-Fearing a Flamethrower, Lance's Charizard uses Fire Spin. Bad, but it could have been worse.
-Pilo uses its last Icy Wind to slow down Charizard. I can somehow outspeed it now.
-Headbutt not only criticals but flinches Charizard.

NOW... DON'T.... HEAL!

Lance doesn't heal, Piloswine Headbutts again and I become Johto champion with my least favorite Pokemon.

-Nostalgic and awesome credits roll.

Next stop: Kanto. Red, I'm coming for your head!

Pokemon:
Pest (Yanma) Lv.47
Toxic (Weezing) Lv.47
Swine (Piloswine) Lv.47

 

[CelticsPhan]

Last update for Kanto and Red in Crystal:

Spoiler:

-After barely beating the E4, I realized how underleveled I was, and how Red would manhandle my Pokemon at their current levels (All 47s at this point)
-Refight E4 until my Pokemon are all at Lv.55

Now that my Pokes are caught up in levels, it's time to storm Kanto!!!

-Fight Surge out of the gate

LT SURGE (Badge #9)
-Earthquake with Piloswine one-hits everything.
-Kanto leaders are still wicked easy.

-I fight every trainer in the routes between each Gym, I want to reduce the grind for Red later
-I decide to fight Erika in Celadon next because Yanma can defeat Grass types easily.

ERIKA (Badge #10)
-Like I said, Yanma's Wing Attack finishes Erika's Grass types.
-Easiest leader in Kanto, Brock is probably second.

I decide to fight Sabrina next.

SABRINA (Badge #11)
-Again, Kanto leaders are simple. I just use Piloswine's Earthquake and Yanma's Wing Attack to defeat the Psychics.

-Next up is Janine and her Poisons.

JANINE (Badge #12)
-Earthquake! It is key in stomping the Kanto leaders.
-I also use Weezing to take out some of the Pokes.
-Fin.

MISTY (Badge #13)
-Hardest Leader before the Snorlax event, so I fight her last
-Weezing now knows Thunderbolt, and that KO's everything besides Quagsire, who I use Piloswine to defeat.

-Snorlax event is next, I give the Leftovers to Weezing.

BROCK (Badge #14)
-It's very hard to lose to Brock if you any sort of Water, Ice or Ground attack. VERY hard.
-Piloswine EQ everything.

-Meet Blue in what's left of Cinnabar, he's so cool and collected now.

-Square off against Blaine in his makeshift Gym in Seafoam Islands.

BLAINE (Badge #15)
-Earthquake everything.

BLUE (Badge #16)
-Finally, a challenge!
-Piloswine now know Blizzard and I KO Pidgeot with it.
-Same goes to Exeggutor and Rhydon.
-Earthquake Arcanine and Alakazam
-Weezing's Thunderbolt finishes the Gyarados. Good Game.

-Moar grinding! My Pokemon finish Kanto at Level ~63.
-I decide to grind Yanma, Weezing and Piloswine to Level 70 to ensure my win over Red.

RED (THE FINALE)
-At this point, I ask myself: Who the *blank* would level a Yanma to 70?
-Also, I realized that I actually like these Pokemon. It only took two playthroughs.
-Red, do your worst. My team is overprepared.

-Piloswine leads against Pikachu. Even after a Charm, it still KOs with Earthquake.
-Weezing fight Blastoise, and 2-hits with Thunderbolt.
-For Venusaur, Yanma 2-hits with Wing Attack.
-Charizard. Switch back to Weezing, and TBolt twice.
-Espeon: Two Earthquakes from Piloswine.
-Snorlax: 500 Thunderbolts and 50 Earthquakes finally defeat it.
Good game Red.

Pokemon Crystal is finished. *Credits roll*

Final Info:

Swine (Piloswine) [MVP] Lv.70

Earthquake/Icy Wind/Strength/Blizzard

Pest (Yanma) Lv.70

Wing Attack/Double Team/Swift/Headbutt

Toxic (Weezing) Lv.70

Sludge Bomb/Thunderbolt/Rollout/Explosion

*I did not use Explosion once this run. I used it a ton in Emerald though.

 

[orangeralts21]

I have a question. Can we do this with "Spin-off" games? (I hate calling them that)

I mean, of course, Pokemon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness. Because I can sure find at least 6 pokemon that I strongly dislike, found relatively early.

 

[AoTora]

Name: AoTora
Number of Games: 1
Game: Sapphire
Pokemon: 6

Ok let me see why I picked up the team I picked and let's write it down here:

Spoiler:

Dustox- I've never been big fan of it's design and I rarely use it due to disliking it's design.

Slaking - I dislike particular Slaking to be honest. Norman's slaking. You know that feeling when you choose treecko as your starter and you don't have any fighting types in your team? Than you finally nearly kill it when it heals up than uses facade on you and prettty much destroys your whole team? Yep that's why I am not big fan of slaking - or it's design.

Exploud - Now for exploud family - I kinda like Whismur, Loudred is ok - but than you have Exploud. Just huge mouth and a lot of tubes- just.. Who made this? Not big fan of it's design but I guess that it's a decent Pokemon.

Swalot - Not big fan of it's design and I am not big fan of it's moveset either (Swallow+ Spit up to be more accurate)

Mudkip - There is only one reason for why I hate mudkip - I heard you liek mudkipz! Everywhere. All. The. Time. No matter which Pokemon site you are - no matter which Picture you are looking at - this meme is somewhere there. It gets so annoying and I honestly cannot stand mudkip just thanks to that meme. I love Marshtomp, I love Swampert and I love using them but I hate mudkip.

Machop/Machoke/Machamp- There is only one reason for why I hate this one - Nuzlockes. Whenever I faced one of these they got a ton of crits and due to so many crits I lost a lot of my good pokemon friends that would make awesome team members but couldn't - thanks to crits. I don't like Machamp's design either - I mean it's same as machoke - with two extra arms... Yay!

So this is going to be my team - and yes - Mudkip will have an everstone so it won't evolve.

Spoiler:

Magikarp: I'm way too impatient to sit around and use splash all day, guess I'll be using Zubat until I get my EXP Share.
Zubat: They're arguably the most annoying pokemon in the game, and when you finally catch one and try to use its annoyingly-awesome power to own some trainers, it sucks. No pun intended.

Pokemon Red : 1 Pokemon

Route 1 - Had to catch a Poliwag because I couldn't find a R/B/Y Starter Changer.

Viridian City to Viridian Forest - level up from 3 -10 in route on and bubbled my way through the forest...

Pewter City - Easy! started level 11 end up 13 at the end

Route 3 - battled all trainers and leveled up from 13 - 16 or 17 something like that

Mt. Moon - Got owned once at the last trainer and had to go through it again but found mega punch and a rare candy

Route 4 - Leveled up Poliwag to 25 and it evolved it poliwhril

Cerluean City to Vermilion City - Just Mega Punched and Bubblebeam my way through every trainer.S.S.Anne - Beat Rival like nothing

Vermilion City Gym - Caught a Diglett thinking it can use cut but couldn't learn cut so caught a Oddish and beat the gym using mega punch which took me three times.

Rock Tunnel - ....Didn't have Flash....

From here it was smooth sailing, everyone was easy to beat and had to problems and never lost a battle. Leveled up to 62 before hitting the Elite Four oh yeah, caught a Spearow just for the move fly and used a water stone to evolve Poliwhril into Poliwrath.

Elite Four - First Member Strength & Mega Punched my way through only using Poliwrath
Second Member - Surf & Strength
Third Member - Fissure & Blizzard
Lance - only member i do know lol used Blizzard, Psybeam & Earthquake but ran out of pp had to use
stuggle
Rival - Rage & TakeDown, what a lucky battle it was for me. If i havn't used up all my take down i would have lost using rage because rage just keeps hitting..... Luck

Why I used Poliwag, I never liked Poliwag because of it Movepool. I was one of those pokemon that i didn't want because by the time i can get it, i usually have my team already so didn't like it and never like going against it with its hypnosis. Now, i love this pokemon and how good it is after evolving :P Roughly 6hrs

Last Level 66 with moves Surf, Rage, Strength & Take Down.

If any Mistakes our in the paragraph sorry, had to type this up quick before taking off.

°Helped Wally.
°Caught my next team member - Selena the Slakoth.
°Got to Rustbro and destroyed the gym with Skippy.
°Caught my next team member: Lucky the Whismur.
