Red was, just like the rest of the game, a push-over. Literally nothing gave me much trouble other than Espeon. Took down my Gyarados and Feraligatr after they spammed Bite and Slowbro managed to finish it off with a Shadow Ball. Other than that, I was able to mostly 2-3HKO all of his Pokemon. Lanturn once again helped greatly considering it's STAB combo is amazing. Final Team:
Poliwrath, Level 54.
Stats: 179 / 124 / 140 / 108 / 129 / 106
Surf / Hypnosis / Body Slam / Earthquake
Lanturn, Level 55.
228 / 105 / 105 / 107 / 107 / 107 (Wut)
Thunder Wave / Supersonic / Spark / Surf
Gyarados, Level 54.
189 / 172 / 115 / 88 / 131 / 123
Dragonbreath / Hydro Pump / Bite / Surf
Slowbro, Level 54.
195 / 112 / 146 / 142 / 120 / 67
Surf / Shadow Ball / Psychic / Flash
Feraligatr, Level 53.
183 / 143 / 145 / 114 / 118 / 104
Bite / Surf / Slash / Hydro Pump
Tentacruel, Level 55.
182 / 121 / 107 / 128 / 172 / 132
Surf / Supersonic / Wrap / Acid

Time for Sapphire. Should be easy enough.

I went through the Ice path and breezed through it and got to Blackthorn and beat Clair which was moderately easy with my Quagsire and Lapras's Ice Beam, but I went the cheap way and used perish song on Kingdra XD.

Okay, so after spending more time than I'd care to admit soft resetting for a Jolly Snivy in my White version and breeding a ton of eggs in my Black 2 version to get a plausibly Modest Cottonee with Prankster, (I'm using rule #10 as an excuse for this. If that doesn't count in this case, I'm now using the loophole I'm allowed for congratulating the monotype challenge on its birthday) I'm finally ready for my first update.

I set off with Serpentina the Snivy. Blasted through it all. Arrived at Striaton City and had a bit of trouble at the gym, until Serpentina learned Growth. After that, she was unstoppable. After beating Chili, I chased off some Plasma grunts, and before I knew it, I was able to trade with my Black 2 version! So I traded in three eggs, and from the first one hatched Scotch the Cottonee - the Modest Prankster. I boxed the other two for life and set off to train Scotch. And this is more or less where I am now, just outside Striaton City. And here's my current team:
