Lol. Now I don't have to worry about competing in national park ^-^' And I started. Since I couldn't catch Vulpix normally in Crystal, I used it as my starter.

-Named myself SnoBird and "started" with Cyndaquil for a tougher adventure.
-Did all the formal stuff and rushed through so I could name my rival.
-Named my rival King! after the ^.
-"Caught" Vulpix and named him Ryo after a friend's imaginary dragon.
-Continued on to Violet. Leveled up Ryo to Lv 16.
-Fought Falkner with ease by spamming Ember.
-Moved on to Union Cave and the route below Violet.
-Caught a Sandshrew and named it George by advice of a friend.
-Leveled George up to Lv 18 and continued to Azalea.
-Went through Slowpoke Well and challenged Bugsy. I defeated him using George on the weaker pokes and Ryo on the Scyther.
-Fought rival. Gastly went down with Ember. Croconaw took a few hits from Ryo as well before I used Roar. Rattata went down with Ember. Croconaw was really tricky so I poisoned it with George and Quick Attacked with Ryo :3
-Got the cut TM.

Saved in Ilex Forest.

~Kept running into stupid Abra's. x_______x
~Finally caught a Male Whismur and named him Brett ^^
~Found a Skitty I reeeeaaallly wanted but oh well xD
~Grinded everyone up and then headed over to the first gym.
~Lost to Roxanne. Bad.
~Figured out I could've gone to the cave place FULL of Whismur beforehand x_____x

~Grinded some more
~Something went wrong with the save file and it didn't save
~Re-did all the grinding a second time

[DVK]

well I've FINALLY finished my challenge, and i might extend it to an ultimate challenge now that i have finished fire red, as this challenge was kinda a lot of fun :)

well that challenge went quite fast, it doesn't take long when you only do what you need to do haha :P i didn't really need to grind at all to finish this challenge which was also good.

here's my hall of fame pics:

Steelix ♂ Lv.58
Hasty Nature
Sturdy
Moves:
Strength
Swagger
Iron Tail
Earthquake

Glalie ♂ Lv.61
Lax Nature
Inner Focus
Moves:
Crunch
Ice Beam
Hail
Headbutt

Houndoom ♂ Lv.60
Gentle Nature
Flashfire
Moves:
Flamethrower
Crunch
Flame Wheel
Extremespeed

Scizor ♀ Lv.62
Modest Nature
Swarm
Moves:
Silver Wind
Swords Dance
Brick Break
Dragon Claw

Lanturn ♀ Lv.64
Rash Nature
Volt absorb
Moves:
Thunderbolt
Thunderwave
Surf
Confuse Ray

Aerodactyl ♂ Lv.62
Brave Nature
Rock Head
Moves:
Aerial Ace
Double Team
Fly
Ancient Power

The One Most/Least Valuable Pokemon.
MVP:Lanturn, almost single handedly beat the elite 4 and champion.
LVP:Steelix, he seemed to always faint haha

The One with the Best/Worst Moveset
Best: Lanturn, the move set here worked quite well, as parlyzing and confusing is quite a good combo
Wost:None, everyone had pretty good movesets, but if i had to choose 1 i would say steelix, his move set is pretty limited and until he got earthquake is wasn't very good.
The One that Needed the Most Revives
Steelix, i have no idea why it was just this way haha.

The One that was an Unstoppable Force
Lanturn, i beat most of the elite 4 with her.

The One that Beat the Odds
Glalie, did very well against some types it's weak against, and was at one point my MVP.

The One I'll Use Again
All but steelix, i just don't like the steel/ground typing.

The One I Wish I'd Never Used
Steelix, fainted too often, and don't like the typing.

The One with the Most Awesome Typing
Lanturn, water/Electric is very good, and i would consider using it in future teams.

The One Gym Destroyer
Houndoom, shone in alot of the gyms especially, against LT. Surge, erika sabrina, and koga.

The One Elite Four Destroyer
Lanturn, could have single handedly wiped out the entire elite four but i decided to go down the route of sharing out the fights to not use so many revives.

The One that Wouldn't Stay Up
Steelix, Again this poor guy fainted alot during the course of this challenge.

The One that Levelled Up the Quickest
Aerodactyl, for some reason he was always ahead of everyone else.

The One that Annoyed the Most Opponents
Lanturn, Thunderwave + Confuse ray would be pretty annoying.

The One your Rival Feared
Lanturn, pretty much everytime i faced him Lanturn was first out, and he had venesaur in his team so all were fainted with just lanturn so houndoom would finish off venesaur.

 

[Sammuthegreat]

Congratulations DVK, our latest champion! Let me know if you want another team for an Ultimate challenge.

and can i use liquid crystal or shiny gold to do 2nd generation, i'll only use pokemon from gens I and II, only because i absolutely get annoyed with 2nd and 1st gen games? if i can i'll extend this to an ultimate challenge :D

EDIT: i would rather not use HG/SS as the only ones that i can emulate always freeze randomly.
