  • I said I wasn't gonna do this til spring break, but I figure that since I can chug through Colosseum easily, I'll save Gale of Darkness for then, since I find it to be more difficult.

    Username: Sydian
    Type: Normal
    Challenge: Single
    Game: Colosseum

    My team will probably change around a bit, given the nature of the game (and Swablu is Normal, but changes types upon evolution so eh). I'll be considering all 48 Pokemon as Snagged to be a complete game, meaning I'll be going all the way to the Impostor with Shadow Togetic. Unless you want me to stop after the main story. It doesn't matter, and there aren't any written standards for this game. I will probably go through this a bit slowly (even though I just said I can chug this game like root beer whaaaat??)...hopefully it'll be done before spring break though.

    Oh. And. What are you doing here? ...Okay, I can't hack in any Pokemon. I just wanted to say that. Plus I'm crazy for signing up for this now. Gosh. What AM I doing!? Bahhhh!!

  • You're free to decide when the challenge ends for yourself on that one. I will count the end of the story as the end, but if you want to play through more than that, more power to ya. Just post saying you're done when you reach the point of stopping. And Swablu can be used as long as you don't evolve it, since its evolution is not Normal type. Wasn't really sure what you were getting at so I thought I'd make sure I clarified that real quick.

  • I'll probably go off to the end then, just cause it's been so long and I've been itching to play this game. Thanks. And yeah, I meant I'd use Swablu temporarily, as it'd be better to have more Pokemon on the team considering this game is a bit harder than the main game. I'd probably just leave it Shadow, or dump it after purifying it. ...I can't be mean to a Swablu lmfao. :(

    edit: Oh hey! I can totally utilize the secret phrase thing, but it would be during post game. I can trade in a Normal type into Colosseum then, right?

  • Been breezing through this challenge since it's a lot of fun. :D I'm at the Rocket Hideout now in Mahogany. And holy crap I just ran into Suicune like five minutes ago and was like "what" haha. Keep switching my team around since there so many awesome normal types available in this game. ;_;

    I thank Miltank for knowing Surf and helping me beat Jasmine, otherwise that fight would've been a pain. Also, Strength is a lifesaver HM for challenges like these.

    Current Team:

    210.png

    Granbull ♀ | Lv. 30
    Strength, Bite, Charm, Lick

    241.png

    Miltank ♀ | Lv. 30
    Strength, Milk Drink, Surf, Stomp

    39.png

    Jigglypuff ♀ | Lv. 28
    Strength, Sing, Rollout, Doubleslap

    203.png

    Girafarig ♀ | Lv. 26
    Confusion, Stomp, Growl, Tackle

    176.png

    Togetic ♂ | Lv. 30
    Swift, Metronome, Fly, Rock Smash

    22.png

    Fearow ♂ | Lv. 30
    Peck, Fly, Pursuit, Fury Attack

  • What are you doing here?

    Okay today i will continue my Ultimate Poison Challenge in Hoenn, after my First Poison Monotype adventure in Heartgold.

    I will be Playing Emerald with an Emulator.
    My team will at first be:
    Seviper
    Weezing
    Tentacruel

    i will use my free hack to catch a Seviper in the beginning of the game. I really love snakes and i have never used Seviper, because i had ruby version when i played pokemon years ago.

    i will add more to my team if i need to at some point in the game, but Hoenn don't really have any cool poison types other than seviper and i don't really feel that i want to use Gengar again as that is one overpowered beast

    [ Shadow Rush, Glare, Yawn, Take Down ]

    We started our adventure by blowing up Team Snagem's Hideout. Awesome intro, isn't it? We beat a guy named Willie and then made enemies with some thugs and Snagged their Shadow Pokemon. Eventually, we got our first two Normal types, Noctowl and Furret and weaned ourselves off from relying on our trusty starters, Umbreon and Espeon. Many moons later, we got Dunsparce and Swablu. Good thing Swablu isn't going to be a permanent party member. Adamant? Yuck! We just purified Noctowl and Furret and they were named Noctis and Faline respectively. Now we're off to Mt. Battle to see what the trouble is!

    Large, but not detailed update.

    I'm don't have any screenshots, mainly because I have to press L+R+Start+Select to go to the supercard menu, and my Select Button quit working.

    Anyways here are my teams.
    And sorry Deku that I'm kinda of copying you, I just find your way of updating efficient and easy.

    [ Shadow Rush, ???, ???, ???]

    When I realized my team was not doing well against the Rock types that the Mt. Battle takeover put me against, I went back to Pyrite to grind up some levels. With that came purifying Dunsparce! She received the name Diaega to celebrate. We had a scare in the battle with Dakim, but we caught Entei with relative ease. We lost to Mirakle B later down the road, but came back to kick his butt. Lady Venus went down easily, however Snagging Suicune wasn't as easy as his friend. We got it nevertheless, along with a few other Pokemon afterwards, one of which is now a party member! That one? That'd be Stantler! But after all that today, I think that's pretty decent progress for the night. What's in Stantler's future? Find out in the next update!

  • I should have access to a laptop tomorrow, so I am going to try and get this thread as up to speed as possible in the time I have. It'll likely be another 2 weeks before the arrival of my new computer, so I should try to get something done before then.
