Well, I've decided to do a Ruby run of this challenge, especially since nobody's really doing one. For this challenge, I will be using a team of Swampert, Gardevoir, and Swellow.

The Kanto leg of my Ultimate challenge has been completed!

Battled through Victory Road pretty easily. Biff did faint once because I kept using him as he wasn't as high as the other two. Actually ended up using three Rare Candies in my Bag to make room for other items lol. After I made it to Indigo Plateau, I flew to Celadon and bought all the vitamins I could and gave them to my trio.

Time to face the Elite Four!

Lorelei was easily handled by Royal and his Thunderbolt. Her Jynx doesn't know Psychic apparently, so Royal was never in real danger.

I used Biff against Bruno and he was able get through to Machamp before Fangor revenge-killed him for the win. Taught Biff Strength after the battle to replace the less accurate Mega Punch.

Again, led with Biff against Agatha, and was able to get through to the last Gengar on account of how poison damage is not assessed if you kill a foe, and then I ran out of Earthquake PP and was finally taken out by Toxic. Fangor cleaned up for another easy win.

Next was Lance, who is very difficult if your Pokemon don't have moves that can handle dragons or you have slow Pokemon. This was the case for my first Pokemon, Biff, but the rest was okay.

Here's how it went:

After that victory, it was time to take on Zane for the title of Champion! No stupid moves this time, although Sandslash made a couple questionable decisions...

The final battle:

Update #4!

So, from where she left of at Rt34, TriPKMNgl has been quite some way. Let's look at her progess:
TriPKMNgl battled her way through Rt34, with Blaze Dawg, her trusty Growlithe, and Crocigator, her eager Croconaw, by her side. During her journeys on Rt34, Blaze Dawg grew to LV19.
When TriPKMNgl entered a house on Rt34, she was shocked to find a man and a woman who gave her an Egg! An Odd Egg, to be infact.
After a long trek through Rt34, she finally entered Goldenrod City.
She tried to play the slot machines in the game corner, but she had no coins or a coin case. She remembered one of the citizens had said "I think I dropped it in the underground...' She immediatly went underground to retrieve the coin case.
Blaze Dawg grew to LV20 in the Underground. Also, TriPKMNgl found the lost coin case.
On her way to find the citizen who lost the coin case, she saw a Rocket Grunt looking into a tower. Thinking something suspicious was inside, TriPKMNgl decided to take a look. She talked to one of the staff behind the counter to find she was giving away Radio Cards. TriPKMNgl got a Radio Card, just to see if it was dodgy.
Now TriPKMNgl was lost. She decided to see what was at the bottom of Goldenrod. A shop, it seems, a bike shop to be exact. The owner offered her a bike, in return she would advertise the shop. TriPKMNgl accepted the offer, and got a bike!
While she was wandering around town, one of her eggs hatched into a... Togepi! The Togepi, which turned out to be male, was nicknamed Joy.
After lots of searching, she couldn't find the owner of the coin case, and decided to use it. She bought 50 coins, and started to gamble with card flippin'. Then she started with the slots. Neither caught her interest that much, though.

Do you prefer this format, or bullet points like I did before.
 
Okay, I've made some progress here on Gold.

  • Crushed TR in the Slowpoke Well
  • Challenged Bugsy and won pretty easily. Royal doesn't take much damage in there. Forgot a screenshot though.
  • Beat Kris after that with Royal again.
    [PokeCommunity.com] The Trio-Species Challenge (Revived)

    ​
  • Got through Ilex Forest into Goldenrod. Taught Cut to Leaf.
  • Started grinding to evolve Magikarp (now Fangor) inot Gyrados as Gastly would be useless in a Normal gym. Fought pretty much all the trainers I could find all the way up to Sudowoodo.
  • Beat Whitney pretty easily by Cursing Miltank.
    [PokeCommunity.com] The Trio-Species Challenge (Revived)
  • Went to Ecruteak Town, picking up the free Spearow for a Fly slave on the way.
  • Beat Kris again in the Burned Tower and set the Beasts roaming.
  • Defeated the Kimono Girls with Fangor and got Surf, which went to Fangor.
  • Challenged the gym, it was pretty easy. I used Royal, now a Haunter, for the most part. Cursed Gengar just before it Shadow Balled him and Fangor finished up with Bite. Again forgot a screenshot.
  • Went east to Mt. Mortar, caught a Machop named Biff of course.
  • Started making my way down to Olivine, got Strength from the sailor and taught it to Geodude, who also had been taught Rock Smash as well. Will teach Strength to Biff eventually I think.
  • Am about to start fighting my way up the Lighthouse.

What about the Isshu section, WWB
 
WeightyWillBill said:
I haven't included it because not many people have it/are playing it, and would be kind of unfair to ultimate challengers
Click to expand...

From what I have seen from other challenges is that the Isshu region is considered optional for the Ultimate Challenge until the game comes out in North America/outside Japan, as that is where most people who are on here live. Granted, you can always try a Japanese ROM if you so desire, but I would really rather be able to follow the plot lol.

You should be able to do it if you want, but it's really up to WWB to set it as official, and it wouldn't be part of an ultimate challenge.
