    Sign me up to use Poliwhirl, Kadabra, and Arcanine :)

    And if I can, would you allow me use advance map to just put there pre evolutions on route 1 with there levels on like 4?

    Can't be accepted. You need to find an Abra and evolve it. After that you can continue on catching the other two. No hacking allowed.

    Eh I guess I'll just do this run for myself since I already caught Abra, Growlithe, and Poliwhirl on route 1. And I already made it past Brock so......... :cheeky:

    Cheat only accepted with your permission... and no hacking allowed.

    So, I can't do this challenge on an Emerald 386 rom? It's the same as Emerald, only a bit tougher trainers and every pokémon up to 3rd gen catchable.

    I played Emerald 386 and I must say its pretty hard. I can't allow it because all Pokemon up to the 3rd Gen catch-able isn't fair. Just a normal challenge so that everyone will play fair. (b")b

    Okay, I decided to start the challenge in FireRed.
    So far, my roster will be:
    Venusaur
    (Something else; still static)
    Arcanine

    Currently I have done this in my game:
    • Started a new save file
    • Hit A through all of the opening text
    • Named myself "Francis" (I always do)
    • Named my rival "Paul" (I was at a loss and decided to be unoriginal)
    • Began my very own Pokémon adventure! :D
    • Got the Potion and beat my Rival quite easily (had Tackle done more damage, I might have not had to use my Potion, but meh)
    • Went to Pewter City (man, I wish I had the Running Shoes)
    • Saved

    Oh, I want to try this out. Sapphire for me!!

    I'll be using Sableye, Numel, and Seviper.

    Does it count as cheating to use a Zigzagoon in the 6th slot just to pick up stuff? And do we have to use the first one we catch, or can we get a bunch for a preferred nature?

    I have an update, even though I haven't actually caught the first member of my team yet.

    Started game, picked the male character, named him Spencer. Treecko for starter. Did the usual Sapphire stuff, caught a Zigzagoon and a Taillow for HM 'mons, rescued Peeko, took a ferry ride over to Dewford. Went into the cave.

    Went back and forth, back and forth, BACK AND FORTH looking for a damn Sableye. Encountered a wild Abra and caught her with a lucky pokeball before she teleported. Then, as if in payback for the luck, I encountered a wild Sableye. Got it down to red health, not quite as low as possible, but any more hits would KO it.

    Then I threw two ultra balls, two great balls, (thank you, Zigzagoon with Pick Up) and eight pokeballs at it. Nothing doing. Ran out of balls, and KO'd the thing out of spite.

    Exited the cave in disgust. Checked on the Abra to discover she was modest (woot!! Gotta get through E4 on Diamond so I can Pal Park that) considered switching Sableye to Abra before remembering that I don't have the ability to trade between GBA games anymore so couldn't evolve her. Oh well. At least I won't have to go through grinding her up eight levels for an offensive move.

    Will re-enter that accursed cave again soon. Sableye SHALL BE MINE.

    Update time!
    • Got Flash; had to catch several other Pokémon to get my count up to 10
    • Taught Flash to Meowth (which apparently has Pickup :D)
    • Went through the Rock Tunnel to Vermillion and took the Underground Path to Cerulean
    • Caught a Magikarp at Lv. 5
    • Went to Rock Tunnel and entered after healing
    • Saved
    • Navigated the depths of the Tunnel, grinding to train the Magikarp
    • Beat all of the trainers and nearly ran out of PP for Razor Leaf and Tackle
    • At this point, the Magikarp was at Lv. 17. Partly due to laziness, I used 3 Rare Candies that Meowth had picked up and evolved Magikarp into Gyarados :D
    • Healed in Lavender Town
    • Saved

    I've decided to use Gyarados as my second party member, so here's what I have so far:
    Ivysaur
    Lv. 34
    -Tackle
    -PoisonPowder
    -Leech Seed
    -Razor Leaf

    Gyarados
    Lv. 20
    -Splash
    -Tackle
    -Bite
    - --

    Going to catch Growlithe soon. Very, very soon.

    Update!!

    -FINALLY Caught a Sabeleye! Only took two balls this time. She turned out to be Adamant. Named her Ceres.
    -Ceres was level 10, so we spent some time grinding up in the cave before facing the Gym.
    -Gym was cake. I have never loved Night Shade so much before. Ceres was level 17 by the end. Brawly used Knock Off a couple times but otherwise Bulk Up wasn't much use to him, lol.
    -Went to visit Steven in the cave again.
    -Departed Petalburg for Slateport. Navigated around the beach trainers to explore the city.
    -Dealt with Captain Stern's goods and the Aqua grunts. Wandered north of Slateport and fought a couple of trainers. Still have to go back and do the beach run.
    -Saved.

    Current team:
    Triospecies Challenge - 3rd Generation

    Ceres (level 20)
    -Night Shade
    -Astonish
    -Scratch
    -Foresight
