Right now, we are on our way to Celestic Town to visit Cynthia's Grandmother and complete the stuff there. As for the last two gym battles, Maylene was SO FREAKIN' HARD, MAN! Her Lucario wouldn't faint and kept using Drain Punch on me to restore health and when I finally got him into the red, she used a Hyper Potion on him. <_< Anyway, Crasher Wake was easier, thanks to Prinplup's Grass Knot and some help from Bastidon and Shock Wave. So, I'll update when I get the time on my vacation, which starts tomorrow but if I don't update by next weekend, don't freak out. XD

And since I've started already I'll give a breif report.

Began my Journey on Thursday July 29

Named myself Onion (gonna nickname my pokemon after vegetables)

Named my rival Turnip.

Started with Bulbasaur, beat my rival soundly in our first encounter. Then I traveled to Viridian where I was given Oaks Parcel. I delivered it and was sent on my way with the pokedex.

Next I traveled through Viridiuan forest, a very easy journey for good old Bulbasaur, and I don't need any antidotes. Next I challenged Brock's gym, probably the easiest thing I have ever done. Earned my boulder badge and was on my way.

Next I got the running shoes and beat all the trainers on the adjoining route. Next I traveled back to viridian to meet with my rival at Indigo Plateau. By then I had a lv. 18 Ivysaur, and defeated his team easily.

Next was Mt. Moon. My main problem here was the fact that I was running out of PP quickly. Luckily Ivysaur learned Razor Leaf when he used up his last PP of vine whip, making things a lot easier. I left the cave with the dome fossil and continued on my way to Cerulean.

Here, on my way to Nugget Bridge, I was challenged by my rival. It turned out to be a close encounter, but I prevailed in the end using sleep powder+leech seed on my rival's Charmander. Then I traveled north across the bridge, and was asked to be a member of team rocket.

I guess I said no, although I wasn't given a choice :( and I proceeded to Bill's. On the next route I caught a Bellsprout who I trained against trainers for the rest of the route to bill's.

After saving Bill and adding a few pages to my pokedex (although bill thought I didn't come to see his collection) I headed for the Cerulean gym. Here, Bellsprout prooved his worth by defeating every single pokemon in the gym, save for starmie who confused the poor guy. Yet, Ivysaur prevailed and soundly defeated my opponent.

Next we traveled south for Vermilion city. On my trip south I captured a meowth to serve as an HM slave. I also battled my way through the route just north of Vermilion, having to go back to Cerulean to heal paralysis.

Next I got my bike voucher and procured a bike. I then traveled east of Vermilion to battle the trainers there before I boarded the S.S. Anne. By now Bellsprout was a Weepinbell.

I then boarded the S.S. Anne and Evolved Ivysaur into a Venusaur. My rival, Turnip, proved to be easy as can be, posing no threat to my team of two. I then rubbed the captain's back and got HM01.

I taught the HM to Meowth and then headed for Surge's gym. Safe to say, this gym was fairly easy. The only trouble I had was Paralysis. I then captured enough pokemon to be able to obtain Flash and I am now headed for Rock Tunnel.

With the SoulBadge in hand I decided to head back to Saffron City via Celadon. I finally had enough cash to buy a Porygon. I immediately taught it Ice Beam and Tri Attack by TM, before remembering it would've learned Tri Attack levelling up, oops.

Anyways, on to Saffron City, Chansey cleared the fighting dojo alone (Hm, maybe I'm a little overlevelled). Anyway...Silph Co. I avoided most of the grunts and headed straight for Giovanni. (If I'm overlevelled then I don't want to level up more, that'd just remove any remaining epicness...) Oh good, a rival battle, these are always intere-Dammit Chansey. *sigh* Chansey solo'd the rival battle. I decided at this point that the problem wasn't my levels, and that it was Chansey's insane special stat. So I switched Snorlax to the front and taught it Surf. Turns out Chansey's special stat wasn't the problem...Snorlax obliterated Giovanni's team and all was well in the world, I recieved a master ball which would never see use.

Well, with Team Rocket once again foiled it was time for the gym. I don't want to battle anyone unless I ha- what the hell!? The basic trainers here are nearly as tough as Giovanni. Anyway, I made my way to the leader, avoiding most of the trainers...

Leader Battle: Sabrina
Team:
Raticate Lv.37 Water Gun, Tail Whip, Dig, Hyper Fang
Pidgeot Lv.37 Swift, Sand Attack, Double-Edge, Wing Attack
Chansey Lv.37 Psychic, Bubblebeam, Thunderbolt, Sing
Snorlax Lv.37 Body Slam, Surf, Rest, Strength
Persian Lv.37 Body Slam, Bite, Double Team, Screech
Porygon Lv.28 Ice Beam, Tri Attack, Psybeam, Recover

I honestly can't remember much about this fight. All I remember is it was depressingly easy. I'm pretty sure I only used Snorlax and Persian during the match though.

Next time! The final 2 Gyms.

Right now I'm in Victory Road grinding my team to level 50.
 
I think I'll take on the challenge as well.
PC username: (look up, the user name is before this part of the post)
Game:Fire Red
Type:Fire
Will be using an emulator if possible as it is much easier with the throttle.
I might also do a Emerald Monotype after but I don't have the other games so I won't be doing ultimate.
 
After aquiring the MarshBadge I headed back to Pallet Town via Diglett's cave (no real reason, probably would've been quicker to get HM02) and then surfed south to Cinnibar Island. I decided to investigate the creepy looking mansion before even thinking about entering the gym. Several super potions and antidotes later, I found a key, huh. Anyway, rather than doing the smart thing and training my team up, I went straight over to the gym.

Leader Battle: Blaine
Team:
Raticate Lv.38 Water Gun, Tail Whip, Dig, Hyper Fang
Pidgeot Lv.37 Swift, Sand Attack, Double-Edge, Wing Attack
Chansey Lv.38 Psychic, Bubblebeam, Thunderbolt, Sing
Snorlax Lv.38 Body Slam, Surf, Rest, Strength
Persian Lv.38 Body Slam, Bite, Double Team, Screech
Porygon Lv.29 Ice Beam, Tri Attack, Psybeam, Recover

What a dissappointment, heck, half the time he just used super potions, even when his 'mons were still on full health. Anyway, after that I surfed back to Pallet town and headed to Viridian City for badge #8.

Leader Battle: Giovanni
Team:
Porygon Lv.30 Psybeam, Tri Attack, Ice Beam, Recover
Persian Lv.39 Bite, Body Slam, Double Team, Screech
Pidgeot Lv.38 Swift, Double-edge, Sand-attack, Wing Attack
Snorlax Lv.39 Surf, Body Slam, Rest, Amnesia
Chansey Lv.39 Thunderbolt, Bubblebeam, Psychic, Minimize
RaticateLv.39 Dig, Hyper Fang, Tail Whip, Water Gun

Remember what I said about Blaine being dissapointing? Well, Giovanni wasn't much better. Anyways, I finally had all 8 badges and was off to the pokemon league...after handing my rival another beatdown.

Victory Road was mildly annoying and was followed by my first actual level grind in this playthrough. I got my team to Lv.40-45 and taught them a couple of moves before taking on the elite four. I'd like to give a play by play of these battles but honestly, they weren't very memorable. Heck the only thing that stands out is that I tried to DoubleTeam/Bodyslam sweep Lorelei's team (Only time I actually used DT or Minimize) only to be defeated by the somehow still able to get a 100% hit rate Cloyster.

Anyway, Elite Four got brutalised, Lance was probably the easiest of the lot but there was still the champion fight...I used a save state because I knew he had a good 15-20 levels on me. Type advantages were used and his first 5 mons did pretty much nothing. Unfortunately, I underestimated Venusaur and got swept the first time around. Cue the save state, and a critical Sky Attack from Pidgeot.

Pokemon Blue. Monotype Normal challenge...Finished.

Final Team:
Porygon Lv.45 Psybeam, Tri Attack, Ice Beam, Recover
Persian Lv.41 Bite, Body Slam, Double Team, Screech
Pidgeot Lv.43 Swift, Double-edge, Sand-attack, Sky Attack
Snorlax Lv.46 Surf, Body Slam, Rest, Amnesia
Chansey Lv.49 Thunderbolt, Bubblebeam, Psychic, Minimize
RaticateLv.46 Dig, Hyper Fang, Tail Whip, Super Fang

MVP: Chansey
Award for Effort: Persian

Next time. Pokemon Crystal.
 
Name: Sleet
Type: Steel
Version: Heart Gold

Anyway since i've already started I'll give a quick update:
I chose tododile as a starter, just because he's awesome :)
Got to Mr Pokemon's house and got the "Mysterious Egg"

That's about it for now (Don't worry my later updates wil be bigger but I can't do much just now because im off to the cinema to watch Toy Story 3 ^___^ )

I'll be back later on tonight so i'll update then.

Edit: I'm already signed up so Ignore the First 3 lines :P

Rofl, I almost did that. I did a two Gengar run on Silver, though. Alpha and Omega, how I miss you. I'm having problems right now at Byron's gym for my ghost UMC on platinum. Can't get past his magneton, because it one hits me with thunderbolt.
 
Okay. Since I'm bored during the [[rest]] of the summer and all my games are free (finished a Random, yay !) I guess I'll give this a go ! (again, after a mass glitch failure...)

Okay, I've decided. I'm going with Fire types on the following :

Red (emulated) -- Crystal (emulated) -- Ruby (GBAd) -- Platinum (DSid)

I'm curious how this turns out. Oh, I'm doing a bloody script. Stay tuned ! ^_^
