Update: Finished Normal (on Blue) onward to Fire!

It's been awhile, but here we go:

6th Update, Water Challenge, Ruby:
-After getting Surf, the first thing I did was haul ass over to Mauville so I could cross the water on the route to the east and finally get the Good Rod so I could add another Water Pokemon to my team
-Caught a Carvanha. Her name is Nibbles.
-Shut down the generator in New Mauville for Watson. But why do I have to do it? Why can't the old man do it?
-Ran all over western Hoenn exploring the places I could now access with Surf. So much running.....
-Lord Jelly evolved into Tentacruel
-Began the long hike up to Fortree City. That route is longer than I remember.
-Gave Team Magma an ass-whupping at the Weather Institute. Numels and Poochyenas are not a good idea against someone with a mono-Water team. Start bringing some Electric types you guys, or don't bother.
-Nibbles evolved into Sharpedo.
-Then laid the smack down on Brendan.
-Finally arrived in Fortree, then got the Devon Scope from Steven.
-Entered the Gym. The regular Trainers were easy enough, but Winona wasn't so easy. I was afraid for a bit there that her Dragon Dancing Altaria was gonna sweep my ass, but it somehow didn't and I pulled through. At least now I can use Fly.

And I learned that in Gen 3, both of Sharpedo's STABS are special-based, but it has better Attack than Sp.Attack. =(

So I took a couple days break and decided to hit up Ice next. I hacked in my baby Seel (dawww) and he evolved when I was leaving the S.S. Anne. I was going to hold off on fighting Surge since all I had was a water type, but since he evolved, I hit up that 3rd gym and it wasn't much of a problem.

Edit: Finished Ice.

Spoiler:


We'll do grass next.

Edit 2: Grass done. Btw if you can't tell, its my least favorite type.
Spoiler:


I think Electric is next? Lord save me Brock will be so hard.

Started flawless platinum. Picked fire as my starter and boxed as soon as I caught zubat. Caught a budew which quickly evolved into rosillia. Defeated the first gym leader with these two. So far so good.
 
Changed my mind. I need something easy, so I'm doing Bug now and Electric later.

Spoiler:


Edit: Making me a list so that I (and you) can tell which ones I've done. 6/15 done on Kanto!!

Flawless platinum second update. I've caught koffing and grimmer in front of valley wind works at lvl 13 and 14. Zubat evolved into golbat. With a team of 3 lvl24s and Roselia at lvl26 I took on the 2nd gym and basically only used koffing and golbat. She was no match for poison. (Not that surprised)
 
I completely stuck with my dragon mono type on Blaze Black. The first dragon I can get is Snivy (Superior is a dragon in the hack) but if I pick Snivy I have to fight Chilli in a rotation battle with him having all the fire starters + Pansear with acrobatics and me having just snivy/servine. So I'm asking if I can Pokegen in a few dragon eggs so I can beat Chilli just so I don't have to spend 3+ hours grinding off of lvl 3-6 Patrats. If you let me I would give them all egg moves.

-I accidentally thought this was a nzulocke because i'm dumb and released my "dead" whooper, BurgerKing. So that was ****, it took me a ****ing while to catch. I have too many mons anyway, so one less isn't much of a difference.
-SPROUT TOWER AWAYYYYYYY
-Almost at the top i tumbled and fell.
-But i picked the pace again!
-I also caught a bidoof and called her Booteh.
-Evolved Derpeon VI into a Vaporeon.
-Did some minor changes to my team.
-Failed the first time. Gonna try later.
 
my save for my AK is having difficulties remembering that i've already played this game so i might have to start over for Flawless Platinum
 
Finally moved along to Crystal for my Water Ultimate. Getting passed Red at such a low level took a hell of a lot of Full Restores/Revives, especially his Venusaur, but I did it! Off to Emerald hopefully some time soon, I plan to finish my Rock and Bug challenges first though.

Final Team
Spoiler:

Also Necrum I don't know if I already mentioned this but my Ghost monotype is going to be on hold for a little while. I played through it back when you did that last event where you can hack in any one Pokemon of your type into your challenge, I hacked in a Gastly for my Emerald Ghost mono and played until I was close to the 7th/8th gym but when I got a new laptop and transferred everything my save file got corrupt and I have to start from just before the first gym. I don't look forward to doing it again right now but when I do would I still be able to use that Gastly since I hacked it in during the event?
