[KingdomBlade]

I'm now starting Poision Ultimate-Monotype Challenge with Red.

Planned Red Team: Venasaur, Nidoking, Golbat, Tentacruel, Muk, Weezing*

*Huh, no Gengar? I would use it, but I have no idea how to evolve it on an emulator. If someone could help me, it would be appreciated, but I don't really need it since in this game, all of it's STAB attacks are Physical so it's use is hindered.

Update no. 1
- Started up the game, and got a Bulbasaur starter. Miraculously beat the rival.
- Got Bulbasaur up to level 10, and got the parcel and stuff.
- Bought some Pokeballs and caught a Male Nidoran.
- Grinded both up to level 16, and evolved them. Thank God for 1000% speed.
- Swept up the forest thing, and it's puny little bugs.
- Beat Brock with very little effort thanks to Vine Whip.
- Went into Mt. Moon and caught Zubat. Grinded it to level 19 to match the rest of my team.
- After going out of Mt. Moon, I was already able to evolve Nidorino with Moon Stone and Zubat evolved into Golbat.
- Went into Cerulean and beat up Staryu with Golbat and Leech Life (I couldn't let Ivysaur get all the experience) and Starmie with Vine Whip and Ivysaur.
- Went to Bill and got the Ticket thing.
- After getting to Vermillion City, I explored a bit of Diglett cave and leveled up on the route, then going to the Ship.
- At the ship, I was able to beat Blue single handedly with Nidoking, very fun.
- Thankfully, I got the Body Slam TM, which I taught to Nidoking instead of Thrash since I found Thrash kind of annoying with the effects.
- After getting off, I caught an Oddish as a cutslave.
- I went to the gym and beat Lt. Surge with Nidoking again by Body Slamming repeatedly.
- Grinded a bit for some new moves.

Current team.

Before I start my Psychic HG/SS challenge back up, I want to make sure of something: In the original thread, I was given permission to save file change my Slowpoke into a Slowking (without altering any stats, etc), after obtaining a King's Rock from the Pokeathlon (with a 5% framerate after the half mark of the games... took me 2 hours to get one :S) As trading isn't possible with a DS emulator. I was even given permission to change it without the rock, as it's possible to get it with enough time, but I wanted to be as legit as possible, XD

I was wondering: Is that still ok, or would I have to start all over again? All it did was change the species to Slowking, and upon leveling up, it's stats corrected to what a Slowking evolution would have granted. It's a normal Slowking, through and through. It simply allowed me to evolve it while having the item without the ability to trade. (I then tossed said rock, as it shouldnt be there, and I would be tempted to use it for it's flinch rate :3)

However, even though I'm only just past Whitney, I'd rather not reset... Beating Falkner with just Unown, and then Bugsy's scyther with Unown and Slowpoke is just... not happening again, XD

Horner/Heracross Lv. 22 Horn attack, Arial Ace, Shadow Claw, Brick Break

[560cool.]

And there I with my mouth again ...

I have three badges and I''m up to Celadon. (went there to get Flarez the Flareon and Xtreme the Growlithe). I soloed my way thorugh with Charmking. I' gonna try and attempt the Grass Gym (which will be soooo easy) whenever I finish the grinding of Flarez and Xtreme.

Current Team :

Charmking :t006: Lv. 44
Moves : Slash, Body Slam, Ember, Dig
Okay ... this beast got me through all the game up to Celadon. And I'm sure he'll keep being the main until the end ! :P

Flarez :t136: Lv. 25
Moves : Tackle, Sand Attack
How the heck am I gonna raise this thing ?! How can I teach it fire-typed moves ?! HELP !

Xtreme :t058: Lv. 19
Moves : Bite, Ember, Take Down, Roar
At least it knows Ember ... I have a Fire Stone and I will evolve it later...

Okay, the script is doomed. But I'm sure to zip my way through Crystal just like this one. But Ruby and Platinum will be on their consoles, so I will have time to script ! :P

Violet City and Sprout Tower where I'll be getting a bellsprout that I can trade to that woman for an Onix. Which I'll trade in order to get a Steelix. Then it's full steam ahead after that so expect another update within the hour.

 

[dragon0fangz]

I decided to continue on my Ice UMC.
After Bugsy, I basically killed everybody around goldenrod, including whitney.
I also killed Morty with Faint Attack, and got Surf. Problem is, Friday is a long way off. Can I request permission to hack in a Lapras right at the place where it would be, same level, same stats?

NM, I just discovered i can change day of the week through gameshark.
Caught the Lapras at lv 20, called it LAPLACE. No more Solo Running, yay!

 

[Giratina ♀]

Short update is short.


So short, in fact, that I'm not even gonna put it in bullets. I got into the Rocket Hideout - that was the easy part. I fought Rivalman - that was the hard part. Magnemite's Magnet Pull made it so that weak-o himself, Skarmory, was stuck in battle with it, and it fainted. Things only went downhill from there. I scraped a victory with two of six Pokémon left, both with a sliver of HP and one paralyzed.

So... yeah.
