Sign me up for Poison!

BTW, can I use an English translated version of Pokemon Green? I never played it and have always wanted to xD

 

[ZeroBlade77]

Can I take a hitch in this?! Im a pro with Fire types, the only ones I have problems with are Brock, Misty (ESPECIALLY MISTY), and one of the Elite Four.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ive actually done this challenge before, but... I didnt record my progress here because I didnt know it actually existed :O. I beat my rival on FireRed using my ultimate FIRE move, BLAST BURN! I defeated the challenge in HGSS, DP, and I also did Emerald. I think thats the challenge right? I got HGSS with my Charizard, again, and I got my DP with my Infernape, my Emerald was won by Blaziken. If Im missing one, tell me and Ill do it right away! Ive got DP, HGSS, FR, and Emerald done.

[Draknir]

Got ROCKY to the same level as BOULDER, which was 34, after defeating many trainers. During my raid on the Rocket Base under the Game corner, both of them got to Lv.36, so I challenged Erika and won with a small bit of difficulty. Then I went and rescued Mr. Fuji, with BOULDER becoming Lv.39 and ROCKY becoming Lv.38. I then went to the route to the west of Celadon and defeated the Snorlax. Made my way to Fuschia, where I went straight to the Safari Zone and caught a Rhyhorn that I named PERIOR and got HM 03 and the teeth. Trained my team to Lv.40 and defeated Koga easily. I then flew to Pallet Town and surfed down to Cinnabar, avoiding all trainers, and revived a Kabuto, CUTLASS, and an Aerodactyl, STARSCREAM. I then trained those two to Lv.40 while liberating the Silph Co., with CUTLASS evolving. BOULDER got to Lv.42 during my second encounter with Giovanni, and ROCKY to Lv.41. I then challenged the Fighting Dojo, and got ROCKY to Lv.42. In the actual Gym, PERIOR got to Lv.41, so I used a Rare Candy on it to evolve it into a Rhydon. Now I am training CUTLASS against the trainers in the Gym, and then I'll face the trainers on the Cycling Road and the route in the middle of the path connecting Lavender and Fuschia to get it and STARSCREAM to Lv.42 to challenge Sabrina.

Current Team(I confirmed three of their genders):

-♂-Lv.42-142/133/57/66-Tackle/Earthquake/Rock Slide/Selfdestruct

-♀-Lv.42-54/162/83/45-Body Slam/Rock Throw/Slam/Dig

-♀-Lv.42-154/126/123/52/50-Earthquake/Stomp/Fury Attack/Strength

-Lv.40-110/109/106/75/70-Slash/Harden/Surf/Absorb

-Lv.40-121/99/68/123/62-Wing Attack/Agility/Fly/Bite

 

[raekuul]

Finally, I can use Rock Smash!

... just as soon as I get the HM!

Harden and Sand Attack made my Nincada unbeatable, almost. Lost once due to the Manectric getting in a lucky crit with Quick Attack. Second time through I literally struggled past Magneton, who came out second... *shiver*

[Alakazam17]

There we go, all updated! ^_^

Congrats to our latest Champion, Cardwell74! :D

I wanna start this challenge. Unfortunately, I am running GBA and GBC emulators on my iPhone to play any form of Pokemon. Sadly, I cannot find my copy of Diamond to play this on my actual DS. So even if I go through every game, will I be ineligible to complete this challenge? I'll probably be spending my next influx of money on SoulSilver for the Pokewalker functionality.

You can start your challenge, and finish it whenever you find yourself able to play the 4th Gen.

Can you make more than one challenge? If so, can I make a challenge for every type?

You can make as many as you want. Nobody has tried all 17 at once, because frankly, you'll need 17x4=68 games to play. Tis better to do them one or two at a time, methinks. ^^

But I won't technically be able finish the challenge, since I can't do the Generation IV Games? Also, this might seem strange, but I'm currently doing the Fighting Monotype challenge in Sapphire. Would it be okay if I finish that, and then begin from the beginning?

Others have done that, so it's fine.

I'm currently in Slateport City (@_@???), and I haven't reached Mossdeep City yet… so, unless Alakazam 17 has a problem with it (please don't), I'll be picking up from here. :D

That's quite a unique explanation, XD. And sure, go ahead.

I forgot to make a progress log for this challenge, but here goes:

Type: Dark
Version: Emerald

- Defeated Tate and Liza easily and won the Mind Badge
- Drove out Team Magma from Mossdeep Space Center
- Explored the dive areas on Routes 124 and 127
- Decided to head south to Pacifidlog Town and battle more Trainers along the way
- Currently traveling to Route 128

Team:
Shiftry, level 45
Absol, level 43
Sharpedo, level 43
Sableye, level 41
Murkrow, level 41 (traded from LeafGreen)
Mightyena, level 42

You have to start with the second generation games(as you're doing a Dark Challenge), and no trading is allowed.

 

[raekuul]

Guess I'll go ahead and announce that I'm running a Bug Challenge now, too.

TRAINER's LOG
- Day 1
I, Sting, started my adventure in the region of Kanto today. I never really liked big and powerful Pokemon, though. Even Squirtle feels to be too big for my liking. I guess it's a good thing that Net chose to try and one-up me by choosing Bulbasaur. Poor guy. I feel sorry for him.

I have acquired two young Bug Pokemon within ten minutes of leaving Palette Town - A Weedle, who I have named Randor, and a Metapod that likes to be known as Sylva. Eventually, the two of them will be able to overcome the forest Viridian. My sights are set on the Pokemon League, but to get there I must first pass through the den of... well, let's just say that these little boys that haunt the Viridian Forest will feel ashamed to have dabbled in what I, Sting, will master. DABBLED!!

(There seems to be a scrawl of insane scribbling at the bottom of the page... Upon further inspection, you see the words "Wallace of the Green Fears the humble Nincada")

 

[soulkaze]

I just completed sapphire, it was a toughy.
I'm now gonna try Platinum

 

[Kardashian]

I'm gonna do steel. And be the first Steel Champion@

 

[raekuul]

TRAINER's LOG
- Day 2

I, Sting, seem to have run into a snag. Randor is too frail to take down most of our victims on his own, and Sylva has no offensive moves. Three times out of four, I must retreat and heal without having scored a victory. If Randor had a guaranteed poison attack, it would be easier to train.

----

In other news, Loli and her team of Titan, Alicia and Nida are still in Mauville, trying to decide whether to go boldly forward or to take a short trip to Verdanturf first.

 

[Doomsaloto]

I would like to begin this challenge. It seems like a lot of fun. I'll be using the Ground type, and starting on Pokemon Red, which I'll play on my SP. I don't think I've ever played red before... but I'm going to. I choose to use the ground type, and hopefully finish this challenge! I'm gonna call myself
'Durt'. I'll try and update my team here every two gyms.

 

[tomreaper]

haven't had an actual update in a looooong time. it's a small one though..

I got tired of grinding underwater, so i decided to take on kyogre with my level 42 crobat. I'm glad i did.

Since MY crobat has god-like speed, he could start the battle by using confuse ray. With a lot of luck, he hit himself, which helped me with my next phase, beat him to a pulp with fly. After i flew up for the first time, he snapped out of his confusion and used ice beam. I thought, "Oh damn." I hit with fly, but he hit me with ice beam. My first though was, "Ok, who should i send out next..." But then, to my amazement, crobat had 5 hp left! I used fly, he misses his next two hydro pumps, and that's all she wrote. Next, Wallace, or what ever his name is.

Wallace lives up to his name.
He started the battle with his almost useless luvdisc. I start with my crobat. First move, confuse ray, and it hurts itself. next move, fly, hurts itself again, and BAM. its dead with a critical. Next on his lineup, sealo. I knew i was gonna have some trouble with this one. i used confuse ray and tried to spam fly, but he healed it. By time i got it back to where we were before, it finished me with an auroa beam thingy. Well, almost. I finished it with bite. Next, he sends out milotic. I confuse it and it blasts me with ice beam. i use a hyper, and it hurts itself, thankfully.. i fly, it snaps out, and i die in the next 3 turns.. Next, Muk. He with draws milotic and sends out whicash. i use sludge, instant poison, and die by earthquake. I send out swalot, he finishes the job, barely, and he sends out seaking. kills swalot, seviper poisons it, it dies. Final pokemon.. Milotic.. again.. It finishes the job seaking started, and i send out my final pokemon, weezing! My HM slave was still up, and weezing has terrible hp, so it was either do or die.. well, more like do then die, or just die. Self destruct, and that was the end of it.

[tomreaper]

I lied

Spoiler:

I tried to beat them earlier, but i failed because i ran out of hyper potions and revives at draco.. not gonna happen again

Sidney:
I started the battle with muk, for his brick break move. It took one brick break and one sludge to kill the mightyena. Took out all cacturne, shrifty, and sharpedo with swalot, using sludge. And absol died easy to muks brick break. Sooooo much easier than the first time.

Phoebe:
I started with seviper for it's 2 dark type moves. Took the first dusclops out with one critical crunch(yess). Took Sabeleye out with 2 earthquakes. After seviper crunched banette, leaving it with one hp, it used psychic and i had crobat finish the job, after they used a full restore. 2 bites took it out. I sent out my HM slave, so i could revive seviper, and after it fell, crobat almost took the dusclops out. A full restore came into play, then, crobat froze and died. Seviper got one crunch in, then died by an earthquake. Weezing used explosion.. then i remembered that it was a normal type move.. perfect.. I sent out muk, revived seviper, poisoned it, and they both died on the same turn. I sent out swalot and revived crobat, muk and weezing, and healed crobat and seviper. Then he died.. I sent out seviper and crunched it twice, ending the battle. easier than last time again! I love those interviewers!

Glacia:
Started with muk to brick break the first glalie. It only took 2. Kept muk out to try out his new sludge bomb.. brick break, and the poison did the rest. Healed muk for the second sealo, used sludge bomb, poisoned it, brick break, got frozen, and poison finished it.. again. Sent out wailmer so i could heal muk.. only got to cure his frozen..ness. sent him out and hyper potioned him. Sludge ombed the second glalie, then brick break. Next, Walrein.. Died by blizard, and sent out swalot and used toxic. attack it till i had to heal. then it used blizzard and finished swalot.. sent out weezing to explode. It would've finished it, but they she used a full restore.. sent out seviper, but died before it could do anything.. sheer cold.. I made crobat fly, to avoid any risks of dying, and he finished. Easier due to the fact that only one of my pokes died to sheer cold..

Draco:
Started with Swalot.. I don't have any dragon/ice moves, so i just chose a weaker poke.. Started with toxic, he used a full restore.. and i didn't toxic poison him this time.. i should've expected that.. finished it, and sent out seviper to attck the first flygon with dark attacks. crunched a few times, then swaped for crobat so seviper didn't die by dig.. got paralyzed after one wing attack, and beat him the next move. Switched to muk to fight the altaria with his new rock tomb move. After a few moves, we both die because it used take down. Took the flygon out with seviper easily with crunch. I sent out swalot for salamence, but died by one fly. Spent some time juggling around pokes, reviving them, the i sent out crobat to counter his fly by using it right after he does.. once. I finally got tired of reviving and sent out weezing to explode.. stupid battle.

Steven:
I didn't like this one.. The first 4 pokes he sent out were easy. metagross.. i started the battle with 38 revives. At when metagross didn't have anymore pp, i had 10. I hate metagross now.. For his last poke.. i had seviper use earthquake, she died, swalot used body slam twice, died. And weezing, i gave him a max ether and a hyper potion, so he wouldn't die before i could use it. He almost finished it. It was left with pretty much one HP. I sent my last pokemon alive, and he broke his bricks. Finally.. Steven, the champ.. has fallen..

Three down.. one to go.. probably won't finish this one till middle of november.. so i can get a job and buy one of the fourth gen. games..




"image removed"

My Final Team...


Fang/Crobat

Level 49

-Fly
-Bite
-Poison Fang
-Wing Attack

Easily the best one on this team. Helped me get through a lot of tough situations. Didn't really want fly, but it couldn't really be avoided. On the next generation, maybe things will be different.


Slime/Muk

Level 48

-Brick Break
-Minimize
-Rock Tomb
-Sludge Bomb

Muk was most helpful during the elite four. Mainly because he was the only one who could learn brick break, but still. He kind of suck at first, but, when he evolved, he became one of the best on the team. Sludge bomb was a god-like move. Sucks that i could only use it for the E4. Oh well...


Python/Seviper

Level 50

-Crunch
-Poison Fang
-Bite
-Earthquake

Seviper was very helpful when training for the E4. Only for Crobat, Weezing, and herself. She also saved me in a lot of situations in the E4. She could have single handedly taking out Phoebe, but I had to the other some action, too...


Stomach/Swalot

Level 46

-Body Slam
-Toxic
-Shock Wave
-Sludge

Swalot was useful throughout the whole game. Even the one i got rid of because it had rock smash, It's a good addition to the team. Even though it never learned sludge bomb, like i planned it to...


Toxicity/Weezing

Level 45

-Sludge
-Facade
-Smokescreen
-Explosion

This was Weezings worst generation for me. Even at the end, he didn't kill anything with self destruct or explosion. His stats kind of sucked, and he didn't learn many good moves, in my opinion. He may be better in the fourth generation, but I'll never know till i PLAY the fourth generation. So I'll wait till then...



Since I don't have a fourth gen. game yet, I'm going to start my steel one on blue. I'll breed a magnemite in gold and trade it for some random.

 

[NocturnalNinja]

Steel Monotype

I have decided to do the monotype challenge. : ) I'm going to pick steel type. Not because I get to skip Kanto, but because is probably my favorite type. : ) I'm going to do it on my Heart Gold since it hasn't been finished yet and I hadn't even made it to the second gym on the previous file.

I currently have one badge and am on my way to Azalea Town. So far;
- I started with Cyndaquil
- Beat my Rival & Named him Silver
- Delivered the Egg to Elm
- Traded over a Skarmory Egg from my SS, Hatched it, and named it Skarlet due to it being Female
- Went through Sprout Tower
- Defeated Falkner

Current Team;

Skarlet the Skarmory
Lv.15
Attacks; Fly, Swift, Peck, Steel Wing

HM Slave(s): Cyndaquil (Cut)
