(Long time no update, whoops!) Painfully ground Abra up to Lv. 16 before challenging Brawly. I wanted to save Kadabra for his last, so I sent out my starter. Unfortunately, Brawly got two crits in a row and down I went. :( Whismur managed to take down his Makuhita before falling herself to a third crit. I sent out Kadabra against Machop, and oneshotted it. Meditite came out. I took out slightly more than half his health, and he hit me with something that took out more than half my health. I used a Potion, but disaster struck when he chose that turn to Focus Punch. Critical hit..... and Kadabra died. :( My others were so much lower levelled I didn't stand a chance. Meditite decimated my team completely.

Challenge fail.

T.T

It's a personal rule of mine that whenever I fail a challenge, I have to switch games. So I'm kicking it old school and firing up my Japanese Green. :) Starting with Squirtle.

 

[Fastbro]

My challenge is over already... -.-

While defeating all the trainers along route 3, Nidoran was killed by Jigglypuff... Disheartened, I managed to push on. (Luckily Bugsy had evolved into Beedrill prior!) I then caught a spearow who I called Buuuurd, and added to my team. But then disaster struck in Mt. Moon. I was defeated by that Clefairy! I started off with Buuuurd so it could gain so experience, but the Clefairy was to strong so I switched out to Bugsy.... who was immediately put to sleep and pounded to near death. I decided to switch out AGAIN to Bubbles who I was sure would take it out. Wrooooong. My attacks did almost to nothing damage, and I was put to sleep. At this point, I knew at least one member would have to die. It was Bubbles. After Bubbles fainted I switched out to Buuuurd (as Bugsy had low health and was asleep) who gave a worthy effort but ultimately died. I then had no choice but to chuck out Bugsy who died instantly. Darn, I should've packed more potions...

Final Team:
Buuuurd/Spearow Lv7
Bugsy/Beedrill Lv13
Bubbles/Squirtle Lv14

Ps. I still have a Rattata in my PC, but at Lv4? Not worth it.

Pss. Fun Fact; every member in my final team's name begins with the letter 'B'!

I'll be restarting on Emerald soon...

 

[chaos11011]

Quick update, but I got a Wooper and Growlithe, I'm currently grinding them up to speed.

 

[axman11224]

Well guys, here it is, the final battle!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdk_xtBNYL8&hd=1

Last episode of our Rijon Adventures run, hope you guys enjoyed it! It was actually pretty fun, and kinda annoying/depressing/etc. at times haha

Well, until next time guys!

 

[AyameHikaru]

Started off on Green. Beat my rival by a crit, trained up on Rt 1. When Sheller hit 9 I went across to route... 22? I think. Caught a Nidoran Female. Then went up to Rt 2 and caught a Pidgey. Currently grinding before going into the Forest. Nidoran's going to be my go-to gal, since she can't be poisoned. :)

Current team:
Sheller the Lv. 10 Squirtle
Nids the Lv. 7 Nidoran F
Flutter the Lv. 4 Pidgey

 

[Haberdasher]

Got past Nugget Bridge.
Also, I've decided that I'm playing with the variation rule that says that instead of just going after the first Pokemon on a route, you go after the first NON-DUPLICATE Pokemon on a route. Because I was undecided, then I encountered another Weedle and realized that having duplicates was a stupid idea.

Spoiler:

George evolved into a Beedrill.
Beat Brock.
Adam evolved into an Ivysaur.
Route 3: Caught Penny, a female Mankey.
Mount Moon: Caught Quinn, a female Zubat.
Got through Mount Moon.
Route 4: Caught Sawyer, a female Sandshrew.
Taught Sawyer Rock Tomb using the TM.
Grinded some.
Beat Misty's trainers (but not her).
Grinded some more.
Battled my rival. Won, but lost my Sandshrew, Sawyer, to his Charmander's Ember.
Beat the Nugget Bridge trainers.
Route 24: Caught Zimbabwe, a male Caterpie.
Zimbabwe evolved into a Metapod.

Current Team:
Zimbabwe, level 8 Metapod
Quinn, level 15 Zubat
Penny, level 16 Mankey
George, level 15 Beedrill
Ellie, level 16 Rattata
Adam, level 21 Ivysaur

[Trey.Logic]

Brewds567 Thanks for the help man i appreciate it. Ok here is the Introduction. I know it might not be good but i would like y'alls Opinion on it.

Spoiler:

INTRODUCTION
It was 7:54pm at night and the young girl from New Bark Town was already ready to leave on her Pokemon Journey. She wanted to catch up with her Best Friend, Risa from Golden Rod City who already had all 8 badges. "I'll be a better Pokemon trainer then her, I know I will." She started walking downstairs to leave to professor Elms, when her mom stopped her. "Erica, Professor Elm needed to ask you a favor" Erica sighed and annoyance. "I am going there anyway Mom!" The Mom then smiled and said "By the way, do you have everything you need to go out?" Here use this bag to carry things. And here is your Trainer Card" She then went back to sit down.


"Weird" She thought and then started to walk outside. Then her Marill walked towards Erica and she noticed her best friend Ethan and he just jumped up and walked off. "Can things get my Weirder?" She said out loud to her self and then started walking to professor elms. He started telling me about his research and talking about Pokeballs and all that good stuff. He also told me about how Pokemon like walking outside there pokeballs.


Then finally he let me get a Pokemon! I went ahead and picked Chikorita and named him Echo. I then started walking to Mr. Pokemon's house and started Training Echo. Then Ethan started being annoying again and I blocked him out and started on my Journey after showing mom my pokemon and giving me my poke gear. I am currently fighting in training as I am heading to Mr. Pokemon's house. I have gotten Echo on Level 8. I made it to Mr. Pokemon's house and got an egg and met Profesor Oak who gave me his number and the pokedex.

Then I began to leave as I got a phone call that someone a incident has happen. It gives me the instinct to grind a bit more, being worried for what might happen. So after some more grinding I started heading back to New Bark Town when a guy with red hair ran into me. "Ow!" I yelled and looked at the person. He scoffed at me and said "You got a pokemon at the lab. What a waste. That's a pokemon thats too good for a wimp like you. ...Don't you get what I'm saying?" I stayed quiet and growled as he tried to degrade me. "Well, I too have a good pokemon. I'll show you what I mean!"


That is when the mysterious trainer pushed me away and sent out his Cyndaquil. Echo was al ready out to battle this guy believing this is the person who Elm was going all crazy about. I defeated him quickly and he then pushed me out the way saying he was going to be the best Pokemon Trainer there ever was. He then realized he dropped his trainer card. He came back for it and swiped it out my hand. I tried to slap him but he ran away. After that I quickly headed to New Bark Town and Professor Elm and a police man was there. I told them what happen and the person's name was Silver. The cop left and then Professor Elm started talking asking me and telling me to go on my journey and become a Pokemon Champion. That is when I started walking to Violet City to start my Journey.

After I got to Route 9, I caught Groufon the Rattata. On Route 10 I found yet another Spearow, and I killed him. Two backups is enough.
I evolved Failkein and Molette to their final forms so I could get and use HM Flash.
Caught Boosh the Machop in Rock Tunnel
At route 8, I caught a Pidgey. I was hoping for a Growlithe, so that's what I named it.
Grabbed Kyle the Eevee at Celadon and brought down Team Rocket at the Game Corner. Hawkeye had a close call against Kangaskhan.
At some point before Rocket Game Corner, Heinrick became a Vileplume.
Brought down Pokemon Tower, accidentally killing a Gastly that I could have caught. Stupid crits.
Puny had a close call against Marowak's Bonemerang, and Hawkeye had a close call against a Rocket's selfdestructing Koffing.
Captured Snorlax on route 12.
Also collected Aerodactyl fossil and Legento the Horsea from Vermillion.
Still only one casualty. RIP, Deathfang.

[Pika-power]

Sign me up for Platinum! I have not played it in ages.

 

[Sammuthegreat]

Oh I won by the way. My FireRed Challenge is complete and I've already started a SoulSilver run.

Neptune and Spiral destroyed Lorelei, Icarus basically soloed Bruno (although Spike stepped in to take out the second Onix). Icarus and Comet took out Agatha between them, Spike took out half of Lance's team before going down to a crit Outrage (as if that move needs a crit, haha). Neptune did the rest.

I led with Whiplash against Gary, and he took out Pidgeot before going down to a crit Hydro Pump from Blastoise. Loss #2 in the Elite Four - my least successful E4 Nuzlocke run so far. Neptune took out Alakazam, Icarus took out Exeggutor, Neptune took out Arcanine after a ridiculously long battle between Arcanine and Comet, then Neptune finished Blastoise off quickly with Thunderbolt.

I win.

Final team:

Spoiler:

Spiral Lv.56, female, Adamant - Brick Break, Body Slam, Substitute, Attract

Neptune Lv.57, male, Serious - Ice Beam, Surf, Thunderbolt, Psychic

Icarus Lv.58, male, Hasty - Dream Eater, Silver Wind, Sleep Powder, Safeguard

Comet Lv.60, male, Serious - Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Brick Break, Blast Burn
