UPDATE #2

- Not much progress from last time. I delivered the letter to Steven inside Granite Cave. Immediately after, I went back to Rustborough to get the Exp. Share from Mr. Stone for delivering the letter to Steven. I came back to Dewford and Combusken (Capt. JACK) destroyed Brawly's Gym. I then got the Old Rod and left for Slateport. (note: I put the Exp. Share on Capt. JACK).

- Upon arriving in Slateport, I took on everyone on the beach and in the Soda Shack. I went into Shipyard and talked to the guy who directed me to where Capt. Stern was. I went into the Museum, fought off Team Magma and delivered the package to Capt. Stern. I'm about to head off for Mauville City next.

Omg I had all my updates written down on notepad,
but my pc decided to reboot and obviously it never saves stuff that's in notepad o.O
Damn you @#$% :(

I'll try to reconstruct a bit of what I did.
Firstly I decided to not evolve my Clefairy until it had Meteor Smash.
So I didn't evolve it until level 45.
Picked up Lapras as a next Team Member.
Bought Coins to get Flamethrower for RK9, since I did evolve him at lvl 31.
Caught a Tangela first chance I got.
That point in the Game everything went really smooth.
Even Blaine and Giovanni went down without any issues.
Victory Road was no issue at all.
But now I'm in front of the League, terribly underleveled (again lol)
And no one (except maybe Lapras) have their final movesets...

I had tons of stuff written down about how I countered corruption...
And I even caught Articuno because I happened to strand there by chance XD

Spoiler:

Current Team:

Tangela lvl 42 Naive / Chlorofyl @ Exp. Share
Megadrain
Growth
Poisonpowder
Vine Whip

Clefable (Fairy) lvl 45 Hasty / Cute Charm
Brick Break
Strenght
Meteor Smash
Moonlight

Arcanine (RK9) lvl 47 Gentle / Flash Fire
Flame Wheel
Flamethrower
Bite
Take Down

Blastoise (Bram) lvl 48 Calm / Torrent
Surf
Rain Dance
Tackle
Bite

Jolteon (Spiky) lvl 50 Hasty / Volt Absorb
Shock Wave
Thunder Wave
Double Kick
Pin Missile

Lapras (Glacia) lvl 50 Adamant / Shell Armor
Hydro Pump
Psychic
Ice Beam
Body Slam

Edit:

Unfortunately I did reset the game as I wouldn't have been able to finish it anyway without a proper save type.
I got the problem fixed now, but I'll need to start all over again...
I suppose I will, but with an other team or even an other era.

 

[Ryanthenoob]

I know the rules say no hacking, but I'm doing Jurassic Jam on an emulator in platinum, and for some reason whenever I try to enter the underground the game breaks, which means I can't get fossils. Should I hack in a (low level) Cranidos/Shieldon or play without them?

That's cause your average DS Emulator doesn't allow Wi-Fi, most likely o.o
I'll VM you with something that *might* help with your issue. if that doesn't work either, then you can pokesav the fossils

 

[PhoenixWright77]

I have a question. I'm guessing that the era types are the ones you can use. But what's the difference between banned types and types that are simply not on the list? ( Sorry if this question seems stupid)

Also realized another thing. One of the rules says that you must use the required Pokemon of your region. But most ( If not all) of the required Pokemon knows surf. This is a problem because another rule says that only one of your Pokemon can have the ability to use surf. This makes it so you can't really use any other water type Pokemon as most of them learn surf.

 

[TenaciousWolf]

I also have a question. In the Westward Expansion Era, pink Pokemon are banned. Would you be able to use a shiny Lickitung if you were lucky enough to find and capture one? It is a normal type and not in the fairy egg group, and its shiny form is yellow, not pink.

 

[RoreyG]

Update #3

- I've made quite a lot of progress this time around. I took the Trick House Challenge and fought all the trainers between the Cycling Road (upper and lower levels), in Mauville City and en route to Verdanturf Town, I beat the Mauville City Gym, got Rock Smash and I managed to evolve my Combusken into a Blaziken.

- Right now, I'm saved in front of the Winstrate House. I still have to go back and get Strength from the Rusturf Tunnel.

This makes it so you can't really use any other water type Pokemon as most of them learn surf.

Well, if a Pokémon Type isn't on any of the lists, then you simply don't use it. But Dual Types that got 1 type on the Era Types list and one type not mentioned at all are allowed.

As for the Surf bit, that basically means that one of your Pokémon must know the move Surf. It's not related to the ability itself, but to the move. Meaning that only that Pokémon can have the move Surf as part of its moves throughout your game.

I also have a question. In the Westward Expansion Era, pink Pokemon are banned. Would you be able to use a shiny Lickitung if you were lucky enough to find and capture one? It is a normal type and not in the fairy egg group, and its shiny form is yellow, not pink.

Well, Lickitung's pretty Pink, no matter what color its Shiny version is, but if you happen to run into a Shiny one, I won't stop you from using it.

Update #4

- I beat the Wintrates and fought my way up to the Fiery Path. I caught a Machop there (Quiet nature) that I named Mr. GIBBS after Jack Sparrow's first mate. I then went up to Fallarbor Town and took care of all of the Team Magma Stuff atop Mt. Chimney.

- I taught Mr. GIBBS the TM Dig and I trained him up in both Flannery's Gym and Norman's Gym so he's a Machoke now.

- I have 5 badges now so I headed back to Mauville City, headed to Route 118 where I got the Good Rod and then went up to Route 119 and caught a level 26 Tropius (COLUMBUS) and a level 26 Carvanha (SHARKCHOMP). They're a Naive and Hardy natures respectively.

- I went back to Mauville City to Wattson out with the New Mauville situation and after that, I'll head back to Slateport and go the Abandoned Ship to get Ice Beam for the sixth Gym. Currently, I'm saved right in front of Wattson outside the Mauville Pokemon Center.

My current team is:

Went to Fuchsia City to get the Good Rod and catch Krabby!
Also trained a bit along the road.
Unfortunately I only have 31 dex entries,

So I'll be trying my luck in the Safari Zone.
After some more training and evolving some low level Pokémon,
got to 46 dex entries...
So now I only need 4 more :)

Blaine was a piece of cake.
Kingler simply sweeped it!
I didn't even have to use Dugtrio.
Then we went to help Bill with the Tri-Island business.
I didn't catch Moltres, just killed it for Experience lol.
Finished the business and got back to Cinnabar safely.
Now it's time to take on our last gym!

[waters_echo]

Okay, so having finished my Stone Age Crystal and gotten past Week Hectic I'm basically definitely doing this again...

Username: Waters_Echo
Game: Emerald
Era: Egypt

BUT.
I have questions.
1: The stance on PICKUP ability in relation to item rules?
2: Are... these rules based on Egypt stereotypes?
I mean, okay, I can give on the WATER type ban (even though basically every Egyptian city would have been located next to or near water (I mean, some of the most prominent animal associations are the hippo and crocodile, and the annual floods were MAJOR important)), but STEEL? The Egyptians had some really impressive metalwork going on, beautiful stuff. Why not grass or something?
(... And the fact that the pyramids were built with paid labor...)

(I think I need to stop and cease taking things so seriously)

Also, an era suggestion:
Bronze or Iron age.
Steel types, rock types, fire types, water types, maybe fighting, normal, dark or ground?
No flying, dragon, electric, or psychic types, perhaps?
An attack that makes things explode (have an animation that explodes, like flash cannon or self destruct)? A mandatory poison type attack? A cutting move?
Maybe you can only take berries from the field and you can only keep items you're given or that you've bought and you cannot use picked up items?
Torkoal the forge as a mandatory? Heatmor, macargo?

 

[Meri]

Part 10

Well I chased Team Rocket away on the Sevii Islands.
All what's left now is to re-challenge the E4.
So I'm just grinding really.
I decided I wouldn't go challenge it until
my Pokémon were at least lvl 65...
After only 2 tries I beat the E4 and my Rival
I can now proudly say I finished this Challenge :D
And really I think that's the first time I beat the entire game :O
I had a lot of fun with it too!

Funniest moment:
Primeape stealing a Tinymushroom of a wild Paras
Most frustrating moment:
Safari Zone / Catching wild Pokémon for dex entries

Update 1

Spoiler:

Chose female sprite, nicked Meri,
named my Rival TORU this time.
Picked up Squirtle as my starter,
and I named it Bram (my boyfriend's name)
I lost to my Rival, my deciding move missed so...
Otherwise I would've easily won.
Anyway out to do the side quest and level Bram a bit.
After some training and catching dex entries,
I beat TORU on Route 22.
I decided that for this run I won't be using any Pokémon I used in my previous run, so no Mankey this time...
Spearow and Pidgey are eligible for my team, but I had another flying pokémon in mind...
Getting throug Viridian Forest by skipping all trainers,
except the last one obviously lol. Annoying prat, get out of the way XD
And thanks for poisoning me >.>
Thank god I had Antidotes on me...
Bram OHKO'd Brock's Pokémon, grew to lvl 16 and evolved into Wartortle! :D
Again skipping as much trainers a possible, and catching my next Team Members! Yes I'll catch 2 more now^^
The first is Taichou, Nidoran M :) The second one is Aria, Zubat!
On a side-note: my natures this time around seem to be quite decent. Not too bad, let's see if I can make Bram a Physical Sweeper or a Wall...

Boulder Badge

Wartortle lvl 16, Brave / Torrent
Nidoran M lvl 7, Impish / Poison Point
Zubat lvl 8, Adamant / Inner Focus


Part 2

Spoiler:

Grinding my way through Mt.Moon.
Kicking Team Rocket's ass.
I did some more Pokémon catching and evolving for Dex entries.
I want to see if I can actually get 40 species by SS.Anne,
since Rival-san always brags about that...
21 so far... It's not going to be easy :O
I also kicked said Rival's ass in Cerulean City.
Then I saved Bill and did some more Pokémon catching.
After a while my dex got to 30.
That's more than I ever had at this point.
I do realize it can get to at least 35 now.
Unfortunately I'm missing out on 2 ingame trades,
since I don't have enough Nidoran M.
I should've caught a few spare for the trades.
Oh well at least with this many pokémon caught,
I won't have any problem getting to 50
for my Exp. Share later on^^
I did a bit of counting and technically speaking
it is possible to get over 40 dex entries...
Oh well, time for Misty!
She went down without much of a fight really.
Now onto the SS.Anne. Aria grew to lvl 22 and evolved :D
Rival went down way too easy to Aria.
He really should stop bragging.
Lt.Surge went down to Taichou, who's now a Nidoking.
Crossed Rock Tunnel, got the Tea and beat the Fighting Dojo!
Got my next member, Mr.Brawler! the Jolly Hitmonchan.
Spent all my money on coins
and picked a fight with the grunt guarding the poster.
Tracked back to Pokémon Tower to beat my Rival.
Beat Rocket Game Corner.
Saved outside Pokémon Tower.

Part 3

Spoiler:

This time I'll beat Pokémon Tower!
I'll also get the 4th Badge, Beat Silph,
and get my Pokémon to level 40+!

Anyway after beating PokéTower and getting Pokéflute,
headed straight to Fuchsia City to get Good Rod.
And I caught myself a Horsea! Named her Nanami.
Caught some more pokémon to get 50 dex entries.
Gave Nanami Exp Share.
Gave everstone to Aria
(Can't evolve yet without National Dex,
but still tries lol)
Anyway, time to beat Erica and Silph Co!
Aria had a lovely time in the Grass Gym lol.
She nearly OHKO'd everything
(Vileplume just had to had 5HP left XD)
Now time for my favorite part! Silph co.
Bram grew to lvl 36 and evolved.
I now have a Blastoise!
Nanami grew to lvl 32 and evolved.
I now have a Seadra!
Beat Giovanni, then went grinding for next gyms

Hitmonchan lvl 39, Jolly / Keen Eye
Seadra lvl 46, Hardy / Poison Point

Part 4

Spoiler:

Time to get the 5th and 6th badge!
My plan was to use Aria against Sabrina,
though I'm afraid Alakazam will be too fast...
If only this was post national dex lol,
Crobat is way faster than Alakazam...
For those who wonder, Crobat is 9th on the speed list, with a base speed of 120
while Alakazam is 15th, with a base speed of 120.
Golbat however is ranked way lower (96th)with a base speed of 90, even lower than Kadabra (35th), who has a base speed of 105.
Which basicly means they'll just Psychic me to death...
I think even Mr.Mime could pull that one of since I won't be able to OHKO it with Bite...
So time for another strategy :P
I kicked her ass with a combination of Aria and Bram.
Koga went down to Bram and Aria as well...
I decided to pick Dragonite for sixth Team Member.
It'll take a while to train though...
I named it Wes.
Nanami killed Blaine's gym,
and now to the Sevii Islands!
I'll probably take my time there,
after all I need to level my team a bit
Also decided to leave Blastoise for now...
Not sure yet if I want to keep using it.
Nanami also killed Giovanni's gym.
Now for my Rival Battle...
Again Nanami did most of the work.
Surf on most stuff, Ice Beam on Venusaur...
Still hating TORU's Alakazam for being faster than Aria...
But soon... Muhahaha!
After some more grinding saved at Indigo Plateau.
I still think my Team needs a bit more work though...
