    How well can you play a game when your pokemon can only use two moves?

    Basically, you can only have three pokemon, and during the whole playthrough you can only use one damage-inflicting attack and one status move for each of your three(or less) pokemon. That means that you'd have, at max, only three different type attacks making many gyms much more harder(as there would only be a few gyms that you have attacks that you are super-effective against). Now that you mention it, the whole game would be much harder, as you would be stuck using moves like tackle and scratch!

    Rules:
    -You can only use three pokemon for battle(you can have as many HM-slaves as you want).
    -Once you battle with a pokemon, AKA use a move (this excludes when all three(or less) of your pokemon are fainted and you are forced to use an HM-slave) it is considered part of your team.
    -^^^Regarding the above rule, you can use 'sacrifice' pokemon--pokemon you switch in to get a free switch with another pokemon.
    -During the whole playthrough, each of your pokemon can only use one damage-inflicting attack and one status move. You can choose to not use one status move at all or a damage-inflicting move at all for a pokemon.
    -You can include any pokemon into your team at any time, but you may not replace a pokemon already in your team(save for HM slaves, of course)
    -The second a move is used, it is considered that pokemon's status/damage-inflicting move and that pokemon may not use another status or damage-inflicting move.
    -The only exception to the rule is when the PP of BOTH moves for a pokemon have been used, and it is the only pokemon the user has left, and has no PP-regaining items. Then the user is able to use another move.
    If the user has used up the PP of only one move, they must use the other move until it's PP runs out/defeats the opponent, and if they have another pokemon(except HM slaves) they must switch to that pokemon.
    -I've stated it before, and it's pretty obvious, but I just wanted to make it absolutely clear: you may not change the moves.

    Well, I think that's it. Have fun!

    Now this looks like one challenging challenge, and even without it being a Nuzlocke. The Elite 4 is going to be REALLY hard to beat, I foresee either massive overleveling or tons of healing items+struggle...


    Here's my planned team:

    Totodile - Scratch, Leer (I'll try to delay this and go for screech though)
    Hoppip - Leech Seed, Mega Drain
    Magnemite - Thunder Shock, Thunder Wave


    That's going to be a lot of bait+switch grinding for Hoppip, but it shall be worth it.

    Forgot to mention: the version shall be Silver.
    And now I'll start.



    First Update!

    Uggh. I barely made any progress at all, because I ad to go somewhere, and I only got to play, like 5 minutes(counting the time it took to take the screenshots), so I barely did anything. I'll get up to Morty in the meantime, but here are is my (barely) progress:
    Spoiler:


    I just noticed I probably could have beat bugsy if I hadn't taken so many screens...

    Next time you see me, I'll be in Ecruteak City.
     
    Yet another update. A very low eventful things/spent time rate, but here it is anyways:
    Spoiler:

    Now I've finally reached the point where I can stop excess grinding and do some plot stuff, like this:

    Sorry, for the EXTREME delay, but I had to get a hair cut. I actually haven't gotten to Ecruteak like I promised, simply because I haven't beat Whitney. She's so hard! I've tried so many times that I don't know how many. There were about two REALLY close ones(as you can see in ones of the screens) Well, I'm going to take a break. Here it is:

    Current Team:

    Debon, lv. 22
    Moves:
    -Tackle
    -Smokecreen

    So I finished Radio Tower and got to Blackthorn. I had problems beating Clair's gym trainers (no deaths, but those Dragonairs were VERY annoying), so I'll have to do some grinding before challenging her. And by some, I mean a lot.

    Here's the team:
    [PokeCommunity.com] Two Attack Challenge

    Movesets (yeah, I'm too lazy too screenshot them as well):
    Claws - Scratch
    Parasite - Mega Drain, Leech Seed
    Miracles - Thunder Shock, Thunder Wave
    Poliwhirl - Surf, Strength, Whirlpool, Waterfall
    Paras - Cut, Flash, Rock Smash, Dig
    Spearow - Fly

    Update: Leveled up to level 50. Beat Clair. Damn, that was hard. Leech Seed+Magneton brought down the Dragonairs easily, but Kingdra was a pain. It almost killed Parasite, then Miracles was very close to death after a very long battle full of both sides being paralyzed all the time - Kingdra was paralyzed a lot less often though (image no longer exists)
    Well, in the end, I switched to Claws and finished off the heavily weakened (I love you, Leech Seed) easily. Should probably have done that earlier, but then again it wasn't my fault that Magneton was paralyzed all the time (actually the only thing it managed to do was one Thunder Wave)

    With Clair having been so much trouble, I'm definetely not looking forward to the Elite 4. Especially since I'll only have 14 Leech Seeds (with the PP Ups from Violet and Ice Path, did I forget any?) against 26 Pokemon.


    By the way, Claws knows Screech now. A great help for Scratch's power.

    Yeah, it's a sad thing, this challenge is certainly a fun one, despite being quite a grindfest.

    Speaking of grinding, I'm currently in the process of getting my team to level 58, and then challenge the Elite 4. Why 58? Well, I was originally planning to grind only to level 55, but Feraligatr learns Hydro Pump at 58, and I don't want to risk getting into a no-PP-situation and having other moves. And those 3 extra levels won't harm anyways.


    Dammit, I had written hell of an update, and then: Database error. Not going to write all that stuff again.
    So, what did I do? I beat the Elite 4, no losses except for 3 Super Potions, 1or 2 Paralysis healers and 2 or 3 Hyper Potions (only one of them in battle though). Pretty easy overall, only that damned Vileplume (because my team is so horrible vs grass types) and Lance's Outrage Dragonite (almost killed Claws with a crit) caused problems.

    You don't. You PrntScreen and then paste it on Paint, then cut everything out except the screen. And then after that you have to upload it to a server like Photobucket.

    It's a lot of work, trust me.


    Anyways, guys, sorry for not updating anything in a long time, but I've been busy lately with my Bug Monotype Challenge and I haven't got to playing much. I'll update after Jasmine. Or Clair. Or the Elite Four. I don't know.

    And...

    WHITNEY WAS HARD.
     
    So I guess regular "Typed" updates will have to do.

    I beat Falkner and Bugzy.

    And for the rival Im not sure if it is allowed but during his Gastly I wasted all my Tackle and Poison Powder PP to use Razor Leaf.My nick names for my pokemon will be Naro (Meganium) Psychopath (Kadabra) and SeaOfLight (Laturn)Also I hate bugzy to me 1,000,000 save states just to make him miss Fury Cutter >.>

    Naro Lvl 27

    Psychopath 22

    EDIT:Whittney Beat Poison Stall from Naro.

    WHAT. THE. ****.

    You should of told me this when I spent half an hour talking like, 30 screenshots and then ended up only using like, 5 for my Bug Monotype Challenge.

    Anyway, Update Time!

    I would of done this earlier if it weren't for the fact a certain someone decided today was the day he wanted to play his Emerald for the whole day...and then when I was heading towards Chuck my emulator starting glitching up so I got scared and stopped right there so I wouldn't lose any data.

    -Beat Whitney (Finally!) Beat Morty Real Fast, Beat Lighthouse.

    URGGHHH!!!! Your screenshots look so much better and clearer than mine! IT'S NOT FAIR! I spent too much time on screenshots!

    Well, on the bright side, I can probably take much more screenshots. See you after Jasmine gets her ass kicked.

    EDIT: Well, turns out that if I try to play my Crystal on VBA, I have to start all over again since I was playing on Playguy(the only reason I play gen 1 & 2 games on Playguy is because Playguy automatically opens the screen in the size I like). Whatever, I guess I'm back to crappy screenshots.

    ^^^^The reason that there is a screen of a Magby is because about half an hour ago I learned that the day-care couple actually give you an egg even before you let them take care of any pokemon! The Odd Egg I believe. Anyway, I got to say that today my Shanoa really shined. I thought Albus would be able to take on Chuck be himself, but he fainted as soon as Chuck brought out his Poliwrath. Shanoa took him on all by herself!

    And, special mention to:

    I'm afraid to say that you won't be seeing me anymore for a while now; I'm going to be focusing on my Bug Monotype Challenge, since it's been a while since I've updated on that one.
