Quick Wrap up and Rating.
I'm not going to lie Gold, Silver, Crystal, Heart Gold and Soul Silver are my least favorite games. I have a few reasons for disliking them but I don't really want to go into it.



I have decided to rank the Pokemon with the first being the worst and the last being the MVP.


Lucky (Seaking)
It died like all the time, after a while I just stopped using it.

Feraligatr (SharpTooth)
Not a terrible Pokemon It just died a lot, didn't really get used an awful lot, and if I am honest Feraligatr is not one of my favorite starters


KrabSalad (Kingler)
Great attack stat with decent defense generally led into battle with this guy to test out the waters. Strong battler but could not take a special and was a bit Slow.


Flipper (Dewgong)
If you asked me after the elite four who was my front runner for MVP it would have been Flipper. Flipper was my gun and throughout the whole challenge was a fantastic Pokemon. Was a tough call between Flipper and Squishy for the 2nd Place.


Squishy (Tentacruel)
I honestly have no complaints about this guy Strong Pokemon who won me a lot of battles slightly edged out Flipper mainly due to Poison Jab Poisoning pretty much everything and it was Fantastic.

Wog (Poliwrath) (MVP) (I guess no one will be surprised)
I found it really difficult to find a water stone I was never playing the right days for the Pokeathon to reward me with a Water Stone I won the bug catching comp 4 times and nothing and Tully never called me. I wrestled with the idea of boxing Wog several times as honestly he was starting to become a liability. But once he evolved he became my number 1. I kind stuffed up his move set and he did not have any fighting moves and he was still fantastic obviously I would use him again.

-After finishing Omega Ruby, I decided to progress to the Kallos region in Pokemon X!
-Per usual, named my player character Ded.
-Selected Chespin as my starter.
-Trained for a bit, and progressed through the beginning of the game.
-After arriving in Santalune City, I easily defeated Viola. During the battle Chespin evolved into Quilladin.
-I met Professor Sycamore in Lumiose City and selected Bulbasour, but I immediately boxed him.
-I caught a Skiddo on route 5 and trained him to catch up to Quilladin's level.
-I progressed through Camphrier Town and caught the Snorlax blocking the path. (Immediately put in the box.)
-Serena and I took down Trevor and Tierno rather easily (Skiddo dominated)
-Prior to progressing through the connecting cave, I caught a Hoppop.
-Trained Hoppop to try and catch up to both Qulliadin and Skiddo.
-Eventually arrived in Ambrette Town and made my way to the Digsite. On the way I continued to train Hoppop, so much so, she evolved into Skiploom!!!

[Chrono Eternal]

I've been supremely lazy with my updates. Not much left to go on my SoulSilver run, but I'm not sure how my Flying types are going to fare against Red's Pikachu or any of his three Pokemon that know Blizzard, so I've been grinding. In the meantime, I've basically played all the way through Platinum.

SoulSilver Mono-Flying Run
UPDATE #3

PROGRESS:

Spoiler:

I wish I'd taken notes, but it's really been awhile since I've made substantial progress. I made it through Kanto without too much difficulty. As of now I cannot make it through the Lance rematch. He's just a beast, and due to limitations I've set on myself with only using Pokemon introduced in Gold and Silver, I have practically no Ice or Dragon moves available to me (unless I train up Delibird...which just seems...wasteful?). So every now and then I battle through the Elite Four to level up, but maybe some strategy adjustments need to be made.

TEAM:

Spoiler:

Luna (lvl 61)
Serious Noctowl ♀ (Insomnia)
Air Slash, Dream Eater, Hypnosis, Psycho Shift

Ruby (lvl 61)

UPDATE #1

PROGRESS:

Spoiler:

Again, I haven't taken great notes. I have caught Giratina, beat Team Galactic, and have the last Gym Leader and Elite Four left to take on. I've loved this run and this team. It's my first full playthrough of an "original" Gen 4 game, and I can't believe how much I'm into it. Gliscor is such a beast, and Togekiss with Aura Sphere is taking names as well.

I forgot to post any updates on my Steel monotype run so I'm going to do them now.

Update #1 - Monotype started with Oshawott as my starter. Caught a Riolu and named it Arin, and immediately deposited Oshawott into my deposit box. Completed the first gym and then went to the next city. Caught a Magnemite, and forgot to name it. Arin evolved right before the 2nd gym and then immediately after I completed the 2nd gym. Went on to Castellia City and completed the sewer part and as soon as I got out of it, I went and challenged the 3rd gym and completed it.

Ultimate Water Monotype Run:
FireRed, SoulSilver, AlphaSapphire, Platinum, Black, Y

Spoiler:

- Beat SPONGE using FISHMOONEY and ROSHI, ROSHI learned Rapid Spin too.
- Did the Nugget Bridge run. FISHMOONEY is actually being kind of useful now that she knows Tackle. Not quite to MVP status, but more useful than it was back at Level 5.
- Made my way to Bill's House, got his ticket, then came back down to kick the Rocket guy's keister.
- Gym Battle time. ROSHI's Bite made short work of this Gym.
- Made it to Vermillion City, nothing important really happened on the way. Did get the Bike Voucher and an Old Rod, though.
- Decided to train on Route 11 before hitting up the SS Anne.
- FISHMOONEY EVOLVED, FREAKING FINALLY
- Finished up on Route 11 and went to the SS Anne. Battled literally everyone on it. FISHMOONEY sweeped the Rival's entire team.
- Got Cut, went to Diglett Cave and used a Great Ball to catch a Dugtrio to be my first HM Slave. (He can learn Cut and I think Rock Smash, but don't quote me on that last bit)
- Sweeped Surge's team with a Gyarados. Unbelieveable.
- Made my way to Rock Tunnel, saved at the entrance. Will deal with that some other time.
