The Wedlocke Challenge (Revisited)

[Chevitile]

First update on Gold:

♦ Started up the game and named myself Chevi.
♦ Chose my starter and encounter for New Bark Town, a male Chikorita, that I called Baeleaf.
♦ Went to Mr. Pokémon's house and back, obtaining some Poké Balls from Prof. Elm's aide.
♦ On Route 29, I encountered a female Hoothoot. Caught it and named it Clock-La. Paired her with Baeleaf.
♦ On Route 30, my encounter was a male Rattata. I called it Rat Pack.
♦ Route 31 offered me a female Spinarak, which I named Contessa. She was paired with Rat Pack.
♦ Decided to catch something in Dark Cave while I was near it. It turned out to be a female Geodude, named Roche.
♦ In Sprout Tower, I encountered a male Gastly that I named Shadus. He made up the final pair, along with Roche.
♦ Beat the Elder in the tower, and then challenged the gym.
♦ Thanks to Roche's Rock Throw and Shadus' typing, Falkner was a piece of cake.
♦ Picked up the Egg from Elm's assistant, and then continued to Route 32, where I caught a male Hoppip named Zey-J.
♦ Ventured downwards, and made it to the Union Cave. Encountered a female Zubat, whom I named Bat Gal.
♦ Made it out of the cave onto Route 33, where I caught a Spearow named Rowena.
♦ In Azalea Town, Kurt informed me of Team Rocket being in the Slowpoke Well.
♦ Went there to defeat them, and also caught a male Slowpoke. Named it Caesar.
♦ Got rid of Team Rocket, and then challenged the gym. Again, Roche and Shadus did all the work against Bugsy. However, she was extremely close to finishing Roche off with Fury Cutter, since I had missed a Rock Throw. I was able to take it out though, and then Shadus took care of the remaining Pokémon.
♦ I also used this duo against my rival outside the gate to Ilex Forest, but Roche swept him on her own.
♦ In Ilex Forest, my encounter was a male Caterpie. Named it De×Andre.
♦ Trekked through the forest, and ended up on Route 34. Sadly, I didn't get an encounter there, as it was an Abra that used Teleport after I had failed to catch it.
♦ Decided to challenge the Goldenrod Gym, which proved to be both fortunate and misfortunate. Baeleaf evolved in there, but Clock-La also died due to a crit, forcing Baeleaf to avenge her. I chose Bat Gal as his new partner.
♦ Rat Pack also died in there. Contessa fought on her own, and was then paired with Caesar.
♦ Trained these two new members up before continuing, partly in Ilex Forest, but also Underground.
♦ Once again, I used Roche and Shadus against Whitney. I took out Clefairy with Roche, and then used Shadus with Hypnosis and Curse against Miltank. Roche then handled the rest, as I didn't wanna die due to Rollout.
♦ Went north to Route 35, where Contessa died against a Marill. Poison Sting just wasn't doing enough damage. Caesar finished the battle, and was then paired with Rowena.
♦ My encounter on Route 35 was a Nidoran♂, whom I caught and named Knug XVI.
♦ The Bug Catching Contest was on during the same day, so I decided to try it. My encounter was a male Kakuna, that I named Acuecoon.
♦ Decided to train my team up to Lv 20. Upon doing so, Rowena evolved. I then stopped my adventure for now.

[Pendraflare]

Uh, I think you mean Gold, haha. :P Anyway, let's get to my business here.

Heart Gold Wedlocke - Update #4

Spoiler:

So I went through the Radio Tower. The grunts were a joke because Bagpipes and Accordion handled nearly all of them, but I had to use Marimba and Maracas against Petrel and his team of bombs, the former of who was able to OHKO the Koffing with Mystic Water boosted Surf, but I did have to do some juggling a bit.

Then after training everyone to Level 34, I battled Silver in the Goldenrod Tunnel. He was pretty easy except for his Feraligatr, which wasn't that hard either because his attacks were weak. Going through the tunnel, I beat all the grunts, and on the last one Bagpipes reached Level 36 and evolved into Typhlosion.

I also trained Marimba to Level 36 so she could learn Earthquake. After breezing through a few more Executives in the Radio Tower, I had Marimba beat Archer's Houndour and Houndoom with Earthquake, while Maracas beat the Koffing.

Afterward I went to Route 44, where I caught a Weepinbell named Didgeridoo, then the Ice Path where I got a Swinub named Bass. Once I made it to Blackthorn City, I FINALLY got rid of the HMs that Accordion was littered with, then went down to Route 45. I beat the trainers there with ease and caught an Aipom named Keytar. While backtracking I went to the Safari Zone to catch a Sandshrew solely to show the Owner, but I released it immediately afterward. Then I caught a Mantine on Route 41 named Clavichord and a Tentacruel in the Whirl Islands named Sax II.

I trained my entire team to Level 41, then took on Clair's Gym. I used Piccolo and Tuba against her. Gyarados kept using Bite against Piccolo, but I killed her with two Air Slashes, a Hyper Potion and a Hyper Beam. The first Dragonair kept using Slam on Tuba, and I used Rest a few times but I eventually killed it. The second Dragonair I 2HKO'd with Piccolo's Air Slash and Hyper Beam after putting it to sleep. But then, Kingdra happened. I used Light Screen with Tuba, and as I was using Rest, she then KILLED BOTH TUBA AND PICCOLO WITH TWO CRITICAL HIT HYDRO PUMPS IN A ROW. I think that text and size tells you how infuriated I was. Anyway, I got Marimba to waste her last Hydro Pump, then I had to use Maracas to stall her out a bit, and I kept hitting through repeated SmokeScreens with Bug Bite. And she got ANOTHER critical hit Hyper Beam against Maracas when she was almost gone, but I survived with 11 HP, and just to taunt me even harder, I got the critical hit on the last turn that didn't matter.

So I went to the Dragon's Den, passed the test of the Elder and got the Dratini, which I named Ukulele. I then chose Organ the Gastly and Bass the Swinub as my new pair.

After getting the Master Ball from Elm, I took on the Kimono Girls, who, to be honest, were a joke. Maracas had little to no trouble with Espeon, especially after Marimba yawned it to sleep, although Umbreon was slightly annoying with Confuse Ray but I still 2HKO'd it with Bug Bite. Marimba took care of the other three with no problem.

Then I trained my main four (not my new recruits) to Level 43 and took on Ho-Oh, who only used Sacred Fire followed by Extrasensory, and I had Yawned it again and 2HKO'd it with Waterfall. That was that.

So here's my team:

[Chevitile]

Oh yeah sorry, thanks :) So I decided to play some more yesterday and today, but a part of me wishes I hadn't... so many deaths.

♦ On Route 36 I caught a Nidoran♀, whom I named Bluebeary. And on Route 37, I encountered a female Stantler that I caught and named Dialle.
♦ Made it to Ecruteak and went to the Burnt Tower, where Roche swept my rival. I then caught a male Koffing, named Choaking.
♦ Defeated the gym trainers, and then challenged Morty, using Bat Gal and Baeleaf. Bat Gal had now evolved into Golbat, and worked wonders with Bite. Against Gengar, I used Baeleaf to set up Reflect, but it kept on using Hypnosis. Therefore, once I could switch out into Bat Gal to attack, its effect wore off. I won, though.
♦ Went up against the Kimono Girls, brought them all down and received Surf. Taught it to Caesar, and then started going west.
♦ On Route 38, I encounered a Miltank, but I was unable to catch it due to poisoning taking it out. I encountered another one on Route 39 though, that I was able to capture. Named it Milkshake.
♦ Once in Olivine City, I climbed to the top of the Lighthouse, and then I picked up the Good Rod. Then, I backtracked to get some new encounters. In Violet City, I surfed and encountered a female Poliwag that I caught and named Aina. Cherrygrove offered me a female Tentacool, called Chironex. In Ecruteak, my encounter was a female Magikarp, named Jasmine. I got myself a female Krabby named Cookie in Olivine City.
♦ Backtracked some more to Headbutt some trees. On Route 42, I got a female Heracross named Tekeze, and in Azalea Town I encountered a female Exeggcute named Chanel.
♦ Continued on Route 40, where I fished up a female Corsola. Called it Coraline.
♦ This is where things started to go downhill. Firstly, a swimmer's Shellder was able to take out Rowena. Caesar finished it off, and was then partnered with Bluebeary, whom I trained before continuing.
♦ On Route 41, I encountered a Mantine, but it died to poison.
♦ Further down the Route, a trainer's Gyarados was way too strong for Bat Gal, who fainted. Baeleaf avenged her, and was then partnered with Dialle.
♦ Dialle, however, died as I was training her. A wild Tentacruel poisoned her, and then I was unable to flee from it. Chironex became Baeleaf's new partner.
♦ Another swimmer's Horsea knew Dragon Rage, which was a serious threat to Caesar. He fainted, and Bluebeary killed it off. She was then partnered with Zey-J.
♦ Trained Zey-J up and then challenged the gym trainers with him and Bluebeary, but I battled Chuck with Baeleaf and Chironex. Reflect helped a lot, as well as poison and confusion. I earned the badge.
♦ Obtained the Fly HM outside the gym, but as I had no flyers, I simply had to Surf back to Olivine.
♦ Before taking on the gym in Olivine, I wanted to do some more training. Due to this, I went to Union Cave, where the first trainer managed to kill half my team. Roche and Shadus were first up against his Marowak, whose Bone Club completely annihilated both of them. I then sent out Chironex, blatantly disregarding the fact that she's half Poison-type and just thinking "A water move would take this thing out". She did take out his first Marowak, but he had a second one, who killed her easily. Baeleaf could handle it well, though.
♦ I partnered Baeleaf with Jasmine, and decided on a new pairing of Choaking and Tekeze.
♦ Currently about to train my new members up.

Third update for my Gold Wedlocke:

♦ Trained my team members up to be around the same level as the rest of my members.
♦ Forgot to get the SecretPotion back in Cianwood, so I went to get that.
♦ Gave it to Jasmine and decided to hold off on battling her for now, so I went west towards Mahogany instead.
♦ On Route 43, I found a male Flaaffy that I named Woolec. Used Headbutt on some of the trees at Lake of Rage, and out popped a Pineco, but it killed itself.
♦ Took on the shiny Gyarados, who managed to kill Baeleaf with Dragon Rage when he was at 39 HP. Jasmine finished it off, and was then partnered with Woolec.
♦ Woolec, however, died almost instantly as it died to a wild Seaking after being unable to flee from it. I partnered Jasmine with Knug XVI, whom I could train up without any problems.
♦ Went to raid the Rocket Hideout with Lance's help. I earned the Whirlpool HM as a reward.
♦ Then, I took on the Mahogany gym, using Jasmine and Knug XVI against Pryce.
♦ After having won, I believe I took on Jasmine, using the same pairing and winning quite easily.
♦ I then raided Team Rocket in Goldenrod. Sadly, one of the executives managed to take out my second pairing. His Weezing used Selfdestruct against Bluebeary, and Zey-J, being a Grass-type, did not fare well against all of his Poison-types.
♦ For my new pairing, I decided on Milkshake, and to hopefully hatch a male Togepi. I walked around with it a lot, and trained up my team members in the meantime. I also got the PokéRus while doing this! Once it hatched, I trained some more to increase its happiness.
♦ Then I realized that the egg had hatched on a route where I had already caught something. Luckily, I hadn't used my Togepi (male and named Starlight) in battle, so I just boxed it. Milkshake's partner the Eevee Bill gives you in Goldenrod, so that was my encounter there. It was male, and I named it Esphynx.
♦ Walked around with it to increase its happiness, and then it evolved into Espeon. Trained him up as well.
♦ Took care of the rest of the Goldenrod business, and then returned to Mahogany.
♦ On Route 44, I encountered a Weepinbel whom I got a critical hit on while trying to weaken it, resulting in me killing it.
♦ In the Ice Path, I caught a female Swinub and named it Mamo.
♦ I then remembered I hadn't caught anything at the Ruins of Alph, so I went through the Union Cave, and then caught a female Natu at my destination. I called it Natix.
♦ Went back to the Ice Path and made it to Blackthorn City.
♦ Took on Clair using Milkshake and Esphynx, who did a very great job despite her Kingdra being quite scary.
♦ Went to the Dragon's Den to get my badge, and also encountered a female Dratini there. I caught it and named it Dracolosse.
♦ Picked up the Dragon Fang and got the badge.
♦ Went down to Route 46, where I encountered a Gligar that died due to poisoning.
♦ On Route 45, I caught a female Jigglypuff named Bubblegum.
♦ I could then make my way to the Pokémon League. In Tohjo Falls, I caught a female Goldeen named Golddigger.
♦ On Route 27, I encountered a Quagsire, but it fled...
♦ Against a trainer on the same route, Jasmine died. He had a Magneton whom I was unable to OHKO. Knug XVI finished the job, and was then partnered with Golddigger.
♦ Trained it up and then continued.
♦ Route 26 offered me a male Doduo, whom I caught and named Guava.
♦ In Victory Road, I caught a female Ursaring named Junbi. I also battled my rival using Knug XVI and Golddigger.
♦ Before taking on the Pokémon League, I trained my team up to Lv 43, and taught them some moves.
♦ I used Milkshake and Esphynx against Will and Koga, and then Bruno was handled by Choaking and Tekeze. The latter one made great use of Counter, for once!
♦ Karen was handled by Knug XVI and Golddigger, although her Houndoom managed to take out Golddigger after a Sp. Def drop from Crunch. Knug XVI could finish it off easily, though.
♦ Finally, Lance was handled by Esphynx and Milkshake. He was pretty difficult, and was very close to finishing off both my Pokémon at some points. However, I prevailed in the end.
♦ Partnered Knug XVI with Dracolosse, and will be going to Kanto shortly!

[Pendraflare]

Congrats on getting through Johto! As I said, you only have to get through Kanto for me to declare the challenge complete. Hope that all works out! Anyway, let's take care of my end.

Heart Gold Wedlocke - Update #5

Spoiler:

With Johto coming to an end, I headed back to New Bark Town to Route 27. I used Repels throughout there, Tohjo Falls and Route 26 so I could come back in the post-game and try for something more interesting. However, Accordion died against an Ace Trainer with a Golduck that lowered her Special Defense with Psychic, then Vaporeon killed her with a critical hit Surf. When I went back to Cherrygrove, I replaced her with Guitar the Mareep.

In Victory Road, I ran into a Golbat and four Graveler, so I whiffed my encounter there. Silver was no problem for Marimba and Maracas. After that, I trained up tons using Pokégear rematches, getting myself to 999999P and getting my entire team to Level 48. I did a bit of training off of Miltank on Route 47, too.

Once we were back at the league, it was time to roll.

Will was a joke; beat him in five turns with Guitar and Bagpipes.

Koga wasn't too bad. Organ OHKO'ed his Ariados with a critical hit, Venomoth was OHKO'ed by Bass' Earthquake, Crobat was 2HKO'ed by Ice Fang followed by Ice Shard, Forretress was 2HKO'ed by Organ's Thunderbolt, and Muk was slammed by Bass' Earthquake.

Bruno was just sad. I used Substitute against Hitmontop, who for god knows what reason used Dig TWICE and was 2HKO'ed. Hitmonlee tried to use Swagger while I had a Substitute up. Hitmonchan broke my sub with Fire Punch. Onix I OHKO'ed with Bass' Earthquake, but not without me setting up Reflect. Machamp I put to sleep with Organ's Hypnosis, then set up a Substitute and killed him with a critical hit Shadow Ball.

Karen, however, was definitely more intense. Umbreon took less than half from Maracas' Bug Bite, and she was annoying with Confuse Ray and Double Team, then she switched out to Houndoom. I brought in Marimba, who thankfully survived Flamethrower then Dark Pulse and killed her with Earthquake. Vileplume kept using Petal Dance against Maracas, and I used a turn to heal Marimba with a MooMoo Milk. Bug Bite followed by two Paybacks finished her. Gengar was dangerous - Marimba's Waterfall did less than half, and I Yawned her to sleep but got her to use her Full Restore, followed by a critical hit that almost killed her. I used Yawn on her Focus Blast, and she used Destiny Bond but I predicted that and used Earthquake to trigger Levitate. Then she died. Murkrow Whirlwinded me into Guitar, who killed her with Thunderbolt. Bagpipes finished Umbreon with Blast Burn.

Finally, the Champion, Lance. Gyarados and Charizard were easy OHKOs with Organ's Choice Specs Thunderbolt, and Aerodactyl did less than half to Bass with Rock Slide as Ice Shard was a 2HKO. His Level 50 Dragonite I OHKO'ed with Ice Fang...but his Level 49 Dragonites were faster and I ended up losing both Bass and Organ to his last one, but not without Organ doing over half with Choice Specs Shadow Ball. I had Maracas set up Reflect, and Marimba survived a Hyper Beam and missed Blizzard twice in a row, but he missed Blizzard too, and luckily I hit with one more and killed him for the win.

Here was my final team for Johto:

Spoiler:

Male, Level 5-present, Nature: Lonely
Moves: Blast Burn, Flamethrower, Hyper Beam, Strength
Paired with:

[Chevitile]

Thank you! For the final update of Gold, I honestly haven't got much to say. I trained up everyone to Lv 50 before going to Kanto, and once there, I just started beating gyms left and right. Lt. Surge was swept by Knug XVI, Esphynx took care of Janine, Choaking brought down Erika, Brock required some teamwork from Esphynx and Milkshake, and Knug XVI swept Blaine. I held off on battling Misty and Sabrina, as I thought they would be the most troublesome. Esphynx and Milkshake teamed up for Misty, and then Milkshake could solo Sabrina. Last up was Blue, against whom Knug XVI and Dracolosse battled for the victory, despite being tough. I'm surprised I managed to get through Kanto without any deaths! I did catch a bunch of stuff on the routes, so here's a list of those encounters:

Spoiler:

Route 6: Pidgey (F), named Geypsy
Route 5: An Abra, that I failed to catch.
Route 11: I encountered a Drowzee here, but I somehow forgot that I could catch it, so I just ran away from it.
Vermilion City: Shellder (M), named Clampagne
Route 18: Grimer (M), named Zukram
Route 8: Another Abra that I failed to catch.
Rock Tunnel: Cubone (F), named Stickone
On routes 13, 14 and 15, I had already encountered everything (except for Chansey), so I didn't catch anything on those routes.
Route 9: Mankey (F), named Ms. Piggy
Route 10: Electabuzz (F), named Electra
Diglett's Cave: Dugtrio (F), named Major Brs
Pallet Town: A Chinchou that I accidentally killed.
Route 21: A Tangela, but it fled.
Cinnabar Island: Chinchou (F), named Marina
On routes 19 and 21 I had already encountered everything too, so no eligible encounters there.

For the rest of the routes, I simply didn't bother encountering anything.

Pair I:

Knug XVI the Nidoking, Lv 53 (♂)
Item: Amulet Coin

I do want to challenge Red, but as it will take a long time to train up my team, I'm holding off on that for the moment, and focusing on my next game, Sapphire. I've already played a little bit, but I'm only one badge in.

Heart Gold Wedlocke Challenge - Update #6

Spoiler:

After making it through the Elite Four and Champion, I decided on my replacement pair to be Triangle the NidoranF and Panflute the Slowpoke. I went into Kanto and took on the Gym Leaders. In order:

Lt. Surge was taken care of easily with Marimba. I had the Zoom Lens to anticipate Double Team, which worked pretty well. His Electrodes never went boom, so it was nothing.

Janine was no sweat, the only Pokémon that had me concerned at all was Weezing, which only used Toxic against Guitar, which my Lum Berry cured. Everything else of hers was easy.

Between Janine and Brock, I finally put in an effort to train up my new pair, and evolved Panflute into a Slowking.

Brock I took care of easily with Panflute and Triangle, the latter of whom had the Choice Specs. Graveler and Kabutops did deal moderate hits, but nothing bad.

Erika was slightly dicey because Jumpluff was faster than Bagpipes and used Sunny Day, but Guitar used Signal Beam on Tangela and I had Protect on Bagpipes to stall out Sunny Day, which worked. Bellossom succumbed to a Charcoal boosted Blast Burn.

Misty I took care of mostly with Guitar, except for Quagsire - I gave Bagpipes the Power Herb and SolarBeam for that. She did try to annoy me with her Full Restores on Lapras, but I confused her with Signal Beam for kicks.

Sabrina I took on single-handedly with Maracas and Light Screen. Not much to say there.

Blaine's Magcargo was no sweat, but Magmar I had to get in a bit of strategy for. I went to Panflute as he used Sunny Day, then Yawned him after taking just over 1/3 from Overheat, healed and took another hit. I switched in Triangle, and he stayed asleep and OHKO'ed him with Choice Specs Earth Power. Rapidash was slammed by Panflute's (Mystic Water boosted) Surf, even with Bounce paralyzing him.

Blue was...well, not what I expected. Triangle OHKO'ed Exeggutor with a critical hit Choice Specs Sludge Bomb, the critical hit did NOT matter. Gyarados was hit with a critical hit Psychic from Panflute, and he healed then I used Yawn. I got Triangle in on Dragon Dance and OHKO'ed him with Thunderbolt while he snoozed. Rhydon missed Panflute with Megahorn and was also slammed. Machamp did around half with ThunderPunch, and survived a Psychic, but he healed. Then he only used Stone Edge before dying. Arcanine left Panflute with 9 HP with Flare Blitz (I had Leftovers) before dying to Surf. Pidgeot did less than half to Triangle with Return, then Thunderbolt did well over half and paralyzed him. Then he was 2HKO'ed. Oh man...

Then I got Rock Climb and access to Mt. Silver, but I have NO idea what i'm gonna do against Red's Snorlax.

That will declare Heart Gold complete for me, although I do plan to take on Red. When, however, I don't know.

I failed my Volt White 2 Wedlocke at Cheren but I didn't give up- Instead I decided to do one on White 2 - and did the whole after game aswell+rematching elite 4 and champion.

Here is the first round that didn't go all that well:

Spoiler:

Than I lost both Dunsparce and Cinccino in the Pinwheel forest due to crits >_>

Than the rematch came - and I was just really really really afraid of it after the first round..

Those videos aren't working, i'll have to be verified on the amount of deaths you had before I can count it.

Also, for my own Heart Gold Wedlocke, I beat Red back late in August, but I didn't post it because I couldn't from the double post rule, but I will now.

Heart Gold Wedlocke, Update #7 - Final Update

Spoiler:

After defeating Blue, I went to Cerulean Cave and did some stuff there, then to Route 28 and Mt. Silver. Afterwards, I found all the remaining Rare Candies in the game. I did a lot of training off of Pokégear rematches, especially Hiker Kenny on Route 13, who gave 7k EXP per fight. I got my entire team to Level 78, using the majority of Rare Candies on Maracas since I figured he would be the hardest to train given he's not very strong and his attacks don't provide much coverage.

Once all my preparations were done (also, I never want to go Rock Smashing for Heart Scales in Johto ever again), it was time to scale Mt. Silver and take on Red. I began with Triangle and Panflute.

Pikachu was first up. Iron Tail did less than half, but I OHKO'ed him with Earth Power.

Lapras was afterwards. His Body Slam didn't do much, but my Grass Knot did enough for a 2HKO thanks to the Expert Belt.

But then he went to Venusaur, which was terrible. I had to go to Triangle, who, surprisingly, was faster than him and got in Captivate to cut his Special Attack. Long story short, I ended up using all three of my healing items for these two on her, but I got in Stealth Rock, along with a Special Defense drop from Earth Power and was left below half after Frenzy Plant, allowing me to kill him while he had to recharge.

Lapras came out again, and he healed after taking Stealth Rock damage. But Grass Knot was a 2HKO, once again hardly taking anything from Body Slam.

Snorlax was next, and took SR damage before taking a nice chunk from Triangle's Superpower. Unfortunately, both of them died. I had Maracas set up Toxic Spikes, then he missed with Giga Impact - which, ironically, I didn't want to happen, because then he would have had to recharge and been unable to heal again. But he healed, and Bug Bite actually didn't do too bad. He froze me with Blizzard though, but I healed and then got in Light Screen, and then a few more hits finished him off.

Charizard took half his health from Stealth Rock, used Flare Blitz against Marimba for some reason and then died to Waterfall.

Blastoise was the last one up. He got badly poisoned from Toxic Spikes, and right off the bat froze me again. After another turn of being frozen, I healed, and took one more Blizzard following that and he was low enough to the point where Earthquake would kill him after all those rounds of Toxic damage, and hail. That won me the battle, and thus, the challenge.

Here was my final team:

Also, I might be changing my Hoenn game to Emerald, I have copies of all three games (Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald) with me, but sadly my Emerald version has its internal battery run dry. If I had a good Emerald ROM for a MacBook I think I would use that, but alas, I don't. I haven't decided yet, though.

Hey, everyone. I haven't started any new challenges here yet, but I wanted to point out that with the release of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there are a few ways some might interpret the ending of the game - first you take on the Champion, Steven, but then there are the credits and you battle Brendan/May, but they have much lower level Pokémon than the Champion and they don't give EXP. But after that, there's the Delta Episode, which you are thrown into the next time you pick up your game. Some people will choose to do that for their plays to make it a tad longer, and I probably will when I inevitably have my turn here.

So i'll have to decide on how i'll measure that. Anyway, please continue to enjoy this challenge!

 

[Chevitile]

Finally, I'm able to get back into this! I'll start with an update on my Sapphire Wedlocke, which I actually finished this summer - just haven't had time to update. As such, I've forgotten nearly everything, and I just have my notes to help me.

Spoiler:

I started up the game and chose Torchic as my starter, whom I named Iggy. Her partner became a Lotad from Route 102, named Nack. I encountered a Poochyena on Route 103, but it got critted. My next pairing was a male Zigzagoon from Route 104 (named Cooper), and a female Wurmple (Vacuum) from Petalburg Woods. Their relationship didn't last long, though, since the Aqua Grunt's Poochyena took out Cooper. After having reached Petalburg, I caught a male Whismur named Boombox, on Route 116. Vacuum and Boombox became a new pairing. I took on the gym as well, where Nack took care of Roxanne, though it was a close call. I sailed to Dewford Town after some other events. Granite Cave granted me a male Zubat, named Snipe. I found Steven, and then Vacuum soloed Brawly with Gust. I continued my adventure to Slateport City. On Route 110 I caught Snipe's partner, a female Electrike, named Heart. I raided the museum, and then made my way to Mauville, where Boombox and Vacuum took care of the rival battle. They also attempted to defeat Wattson, but a Selfdestruct from Voltorb took out Boombox. And, well, a Beautifly against a team of electric-types isn't a good matchup, so it went down as well. Iggy had to finish the battle. On Route 117, I caught an Illumise, named Lovebug. Route 111 gave me a female Geodude, named 101. I got a male Machop at Route 112, and named it Dolly. However, it was a bittersweet catch - due to many Leers, it was able to KO Heart. 101 replaced it as Snipe's partner. There actually weren't a lot of other deaths up until Fortree, so I'll semi-skip forward. I'll post my encounters in a spoiler:

Spoiler:

Fiery Path: Grimer/Zukram (male)
Route 113: Spinda/Pandora (female)
Route 114: Seviper/VIP (female)
Jagged Pass: Numel/Vulkan (female)
Route 105: Tentacool/Chironex (male)
Route 106: Wingull/Pelicapo (male)
Route 109: Magikarp/Dragar (female)
Petalburg City: Marill, accidentally killed
Route 119: Tropius/Tropicana (male)
Route 120: Oddish/Reissum (male)
Route 121: Shuppet/Bottle (male)
Mt. Pyre: Meditite/Magika (female)
Shoal Cave: Spheal/Clapperz (male)
Underwater: Clamperl/Aragvi (male
Cave of Origin: Sableye/Gemini (male)
Rustboro City: Anorith/Kapten Klo (male)

So, on Mt. Chimney, 101 took down Archie, who still put up a fight. Flannery was swept by 101, and Norman saw the wrath of my newly-evolved Dolly. Winona required a team effort from 101 and Snipe, who were just barely capable of earning the badge. I had forgotten about Skarmory and Altaria, who came to be major threats. Eventually, it worked out, without any deaths. After Fortree, however, Lovebug died to a crit Water Pulse in the rain from Milotic. Dolly's new partner became Pandora (Spinda). This duo took care of Tate & Liza, as well as Archie and Wallace. With 8 badges, I went to Victory Road, where a surprise from Wally came. I used Iggy and Nack against him, and once again, I forgot about Altaria, who knocked them both out. This made me pretty sad, seeing as Iggy and Nack were the very first pairing of this run, and had survived this far :( They were replaced with Clapperz (Spheal) and Magika (Meditite). With my team ready, I faced the Elite Four. Dolly and Pandora took down Sidney, while Phoebe was defeated by 101 and Snipe. Glacia was swept by Dolly. Drake was soloed by Clapperz, while Steven required both Clapperz and Magika to be beaten.
