Update #2. Sorry, ima pretty much summarize most of it, since I did all of this awhile ago, and I haz a bad memory ;_;.
Erm, where did I leave off? Ah, thats right. Well, I made it to Azalea, beat up all the bad guys in the slowpoke well, beat up Proton(Whos hair is werd looking o.o) and then left. THen I got the old guy who I think is a pedo..TO make me some Pokeballs. After that, went into the gym and had a fight with some bug pokemon trainers (I hate how I have to fight my fourth favorite types D:) and then beat Bugsy. Sneasel was the main player, he took most of em out quite nicely, if I say so. Left there, went..West? And then north up into Goldenrod, And then did the little quiz thingy.
Went into the gym, took care of Whitneys beautiful women *drools* and then made Whitney cry (So cuuuute if you think about it.) got the gym badge. Got the squirt bottle, and then went north up into Ecruteak. First I took care of that pesky Team Rocket member that was messing with my Kimono Girls >:O, and got the HM Surf. I taught it to Lapras, since quite frankly its a pretty good move, and with the STAB bonus, it turns into a great one, especially for Lapras. Left there, went into the Burned Tower, watched the dogs flee from me (Are they scared that I am an animal abuser? ;.;) and then talked to the "Mystery Man Eusine (He has a nice name..).
Left there, went to the Pokemart to pick up some berries my mommy wasted my hard earned money on, then bought some supplies (Revives, Super Potions, you get the idea) and since I dont have to waste money on Poke balls anymore, I have quite a bit more cash!
Took on the Ecruteak gym. Quite frankly, it was a breeze. With Sneasels Faint Attack, I wiped the floor with the old ladies and Morty.
Left there, then went to Olivine city. Grabbed a few more supplies, healed my Pokes, and then headed up the tedious climbing of the Lighthouse(not that i dont like it, its amazing experience) This time, I focused on my Lapras, because hes been neglected thanks to my Sneasel, who is FINALLY learning some good moves. In the beginning, Sneasel was super weak. But now, since he has amazing speed, and can outspeed almost any Pokemon, he can actually survive!
Met up with the cute (Yet seems like the clumsy type) Jasmine, who made me swim across the ocean for some medicine D:. But the swimmers along the way were some pretty good experience for my newly evolved Gallade (Just figured out you have to "Use" a Dawn Stone, instead of "Give" >_>). Got to..That one island I forget the name of. Got the "SecretPotion" and challenged the gym (Not even bothering getting the Shuckle...Useless Pokemon in my opinion (>3.3)>) and beat up all the people in there. Chuck was uber easy, even though my Gallade didnt know any strong Psychic moves (Confusion is all, yay!..Such a weak move for such an awesome Pokemon *sigh*). Chuck wasnt too hard, but his stupid Poliwrath annoyed me D:<.
Anywho, flew back to Olivine, gave Jasmine the potion, and now shes in the gym! Yay..
Took on the gym, Jasmine wasnt too difficult.. But my Pokemon were at level with hers..Which usually they arent <_>. Her Magnemite was a PAIN. It didnt want to take damage at all >_<.
So now, im grinding my butt off, bringing all my Pokemon on par to beat up the last two gym leaders.
Heres my team so far:
Gallade Lv. 31
Psycho Cut (Awesomeeeee)
Drain Punch (Also awesomeeee.. 60 base power, with STAB, and it heals your Pokemon, not bad ^_^)
Magical Leaf (Ehh..Not too good, only keeping it around since its the only Grass type move any of my Pokemon know..)
Calm Mind
Sneasel Lv. 30
Icy Wind
Faint Attack
Cut (Only Pokemon that could learn it, plus didnt seem to be a bad idea since at the time the rest of his moves were suckish at best)
Fury Swipes (Quite weak..Going to switch it out soon..Hopefully)
Gastly Lv. 20
Hypnosis
Shadow Ball
Night Shade
Curse
Pidgey Lv. 10
Fly
U-Turn
Gust
Roost
Lapras Lv. 26
Body Slam
Water Pulse
Surf
Rain Dance
Geodude Lv. 16
Tackle
Rock Throw
Mud Sport
Magnitude
To be frank, im half and half when it comes to my team. Sure, a few of my Pokemon have some pretty good movesets at this point in the game, but at the same time, I believe I could do much better. I mean, all of my Pokemon were underleveled compared to Jasmine, and two of them arent even level 20 yet! Plus, Geodudes moveset sucks at the moment. But I dont really have any good TMs to teach it. Lapras is fine, though I wish I hadnt accidentally replaced Ice Shard with Rain Dance, now its pretty much a Water type, rather than Water/Ice. Sneasel is doing pretty good, though I wish I could replace Cut with a better Dark type move and Fury Swipes with a stronger Ice type move than friggin Icy Wind. Gallade, I wish he knew Psychic, as well as another strong Fighting move, rather than just Psycho Cut and Drain Punch. Overall, im happy with my Pidgey, except for Gust, which I would rather be Aerial Ace or a strong Flying type attack, but seeing as I have barely trained him, hes doing quite well.
Overall, my Pokemon are doing really well, especially for only being "Almost" done with half of the game. currently I am working on making my Geodude, Lapras, and Pidgey on par with the rest. To tell you the truth, I only see Geodude (Soon to be Graveler) useful for Reds Pikachu. I can see Sneasel, Gallade, and Lapras playing a major role (Especially Gallade, he has barely any weaknesses and is quite strong). As for Pidgey, I dont think he will do much of anything, rather than being a bench warmer or a substitute to heal my Pokemon. Gastly/Gengar might play a good role, but since currently he isnt doing much, im not sure.
Anyway, sorry for my wall of text, and I dont know how to use spoilers yet ;.;. But, my HG is doing quite well, and I love my team! Planning on doing another of these after im done, after possibly doing an Electric or Psychic monotype! Ill keep updating my progress as well! And have you ever thought of another challenge, making it to where you have to level your whole team to Lv. 100? Just for those who want to completely max out their team? ^_^.
