Finally done with Normal UMC on Emerald. Let me just say, this run was a living hell. Everything before Roxanne was ok until it all went to hell, but I managed to get back in the game after Dewford stuff was done, but once I got to Mossdeep, Tate and Liza brought me hell on Earth. It took me a whopping 14 attempts to beat them. I actually had to stop playing for several months before I started playing again yesterday. My emulator's lag brought me some problems during the crisis, but I got through all of it just fine. It was Victory Road and Wallace that brought me the most hell. Victory Road took FOREVER. It took me two hours before I used my Ruby and Sapphire Player's Guide to help me get through. Wallace...don't get me started on that basterd. 11 attempts, two strategy swaps. He nearly drove me nuts with how annoying he was being. Although, I'm done with Emerald. Pearl is up next on my list, but while I do Pearl, I'm gonna start a Dark UMC to really challenge myself.

E4, Wallace, and Hall of Fame Pics.

Update on Bug UMC

Im really strting to like these guys. One shotted all of Sabrinas pokemon, and all of blaines except arcanine with scyther. Giovanni went down pretty easy, since I taught beedrill brick break. Venemoth took out the king and queen with psychic.

Im now in victory road, with this team. Btw, how do you get those spries on there? Just off google images or what?

Venemoth level 70

Scyther level 67

Beedrill level 68

Butterfree level 64

Parasect level 64

Hm slaves lapras (surf) bulbasaur (cut) doduo (fly) and machop (strength, rock smashhh)

Note: lapras, bulba, and doduo are in box. I also have a nidorina, but I found out you had to evolve it to learn surf. So I just waited until I got lapras.

@Lt. Col. Fantastic

I use Google Chrome, go on Bulbapedia and right click to come up with a menu. Then I click copy image URL. Then when I write a post, I click the image thing and paste in the URL. Thats how. If its Internet Explorer, if you right click and go to properties, the URL is in there instead.

I have all my fire monotype teams in my signature by the way. Even though I'm only posting FireRed, I still update the picture for the others.

 

[Quickster]

Tune in for some Heart Gold action! I'm going to try and use pokemon I didn't use in kanto, like scizor and herracross. I'm going to have to change scythers evolution into a level up, though. I can't trade.

Edit: Yeah, I just remembered that you can't hack to evolve pokemon unless its absolutely necessary. So I'll just stick with Scyther as is.

Pokemon White Challenge Log

NOTE: This is actually my first playthrough of BW since I thought Nintendo would make a same third game in the series
Named myself M
Got Oshawott (Stupidest looking starter ever in my opinion) who I named S (Hope it evolves into something awesome)
Went through first part of the game and died on Cilan alot
Decided to get some sleep

Yeah, I just remembered that you can't hack to evolve pokemon unless its absolutely necessary. So I'll just stick with Scyther as is.

I think you are allowed to evolve it, just at a reasonable point in the game.
I would evolve it after you get the Metal Coat/other trade item

 

[Lt. Col. Fantastic]

@Bob III

The rules said hacking/trading was only allowed if that specific type of pokemon was unobtainable before the third gym. Ex: Hacking in a dark pokemon for Kanto.

Unless I'm understanding it wrong, which is totally possible. I stayed up all night grinding for the E4 and can't think as well as usual today. But if I am wrong, please tell me so I can evolve scyther later on. I haven't started yet so no big deal.

[Lt. Col. Fantastic]

Update on HG Bug Monotype UMC

Grinded Manspider to 14 in the sprout tower. Jesus, Falkner is going to suck. Probably will evolve Manspider into Ariados before I beat him. Or at least overlevel him.

 

[311]

Update #1

I thought I'd do an update from when I started.
My level 5 Squirtle is now a level 38 Blastoise
I have HM 1 and 2
I've beaten 3 gyms because i accidentally skipped the 3rd gym:cer_shifty:
I got my eevee and named it Korra after the legend of korra then turned it into a Vaporeon so i could use it

Team: Blastoise, Magikarp (got for $500 what a steal) and, Vaporeon

 

[Lt. Col. Fantastic]

BUG POKEMON RULE!!!! ALL OTHERS DROOL!!!!

Thats pretty much how my battle in Azaela town went. Evolved Manspider on Bugsy, or Bugsby. Whatever. Anyway, the real reason for an update, I have two badges and two pokemon. Say hello to John Lennon, aka the beetle pokemon. Aka heracross. Level 5 like a boss.

 

[Crackin355]

.

My Fire Pokemon would like word with you.

 

[Lt. Col. Fantastic]

My Fire Pokemon would like word with you.

Thats what Blaine said, until I ohko'd him with scyther and wing attack. Just wait until heracross and close combat. :P

Yes!!! Caught a Pineco! Now, all I need is Yanma and scyther. Maybe pinsir.

Update: Screw yanma. I've been looking for hours, and nothing. Well, I just beat the third gym, so onto Rage Lake! Or Lake Rage. Whatever, team rockets gonna eat my megahorn! But not really because heracross doesnt learn thet until level 55.... Still, I'm gonna beat the crap out of them!

 

[Halfcadence]

Update: Screw yanma. I've been looking for hours, and nothing.

Best way (possibly only way) to get your hands on a Yanma is to get Bug Catcher Arnie's phone number and he'll call you when Yanma are swarming. He's on route 35, in the same patch of grass where you catch the Yanma when they are swarming, I believe.

Yeah, but swarms only happen after you get the national dex...so I'll have to wait.

Anyways, I did catch Scyther, named him deathlord again. I might evolve him into scizor after the Johto region is complete.
And Im still on Morty, dang scyther took forever to catch. (I kept ohkoing it...)

Finishing Kanto

Well I just completed the Elite Four in Kanto and I have to say theres something wrong with Giovanni if he thinks that hes the best pokemon trainer -_-
well off to Johto I would have post some pics but sadly I can because of the amount of posts I have...
