Ikwaylx:
Aiyh, I forgot about that Mankey sprite. Yes, 'funky' is a great word to describe that thing. ^^

magix7:
Well, in this challenge you're supposed to go through all the generations; not just Johto. And starting with Kanto. =P

Nah forget it then. sorry.

Blog Update:

As I took off from Pewter City, I went through the pass that would bring me to the entrance to Mt. Moon. Taking out all the trainers along the way for the experience, Butterfree learned Poisonpowder. I then arrived at the PokeCenter in front of Mt. Moon. I entered, and began to fight the trainers on the first floor, when a Wild Pokemon attacked! It was a Paras. I promptly weakened it using Fury Attack with Beedrill, and threw a pokeball... Darn! It was so close too. I threw another one, and Shroomie the Paras was mine!

I fought my way out of Mt. Moon and shortly reached Cerulean City. Although I could take her on right away, I decided to do the Nugget Bridge first, as you do in the future games :P After clearing the Bridge, Meeting Bill, and getting my Ticket, I returned to Cerulean to challenge Misty...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYdzVwUzVzU

Funnily, I leveled Beedrill up JUST to take out Starmie (to level 20 I mean), then realized Paras learned Leech Life at 20 too, so leveled him up as well, as a backup. Then Butterfree is just my support atm :P

My Team is now as follows:

Celest (Butterfree)
Level: 20

Confusion
Sleep Powder
Stun Spore
Poison Powder

Spitfire (Beedrill)
Level: 20

Poison Sting
String Shot
Fury Attack
Twin Needle

Shroomie (Paras)
Level: 20

Scratch
Stun Spore
Leech Life

I would like to give this one a try. I've always wanted to do these one-type challenges~ I think I could take Normal-type and start with Pokemon Red. (Oh noes, I can't get Meowth in it! Well, I'll see if I get someone to trade me one. :3) I'm already scared of the battle with Brock... ^^"

EDIT: Oh yeah, the rules forbid trading. :/ I'll get Meowth in 2nd gen then.

I got bored :O So ANOTHER "Blog" Today :D (Had intended not to do another Gym Today <_<)

After My Victory Vs. Misty, I set out to claim my trip on the S.S. that Bill gave me by going through a vandalized house. I battle the Rocket at the end, and grab a TM for Dig from him, which I teach to Shroomie for the next gym. I arrive, and decide to take a detour to the east to battle some trainers. After defeating them in battle, I gain a Bike Voucher from the Pokemon Fan Club president, and head onto the Boat. I defeat many trainers on the boat, and gain a bunch of items, but when one Ponyta proves too much for just 1 of my pokemon, I have to use all 3, but it came with a good end: Shroomie is now a Parasect!

As I head for the Captain's chambers with weakened pokemon, I run into none other than my Rival! ARGH! A battle ensues, and I barely win. I meet the captain, who gives me the HM for Cut, which I promptly teach to Spitfire.

I head into the Gym, and decipher the lock, and prepare for my battle with Lt. Surge:

Updating again! Two new members to the party and Surf!

Fuschia!

After my episode with Erika, I had to decide what to do next. Either I could cheat my way into Cycling Road via the glitch, or I could take the long route with sooo many trainers. I decided to go along Cycling road for this episode just for the sake of speed.
Got poisoned so many times I had to reluctantly go to the Celadon store and buy 10 antidotes. Smog gets on my nerves consarnit!

Reached Fuschia. The first thing I proceeded to do was obtain the Good rod from the nearby fishermun. I fished in his backyard pond and fished up a ripe and friendly Poliwag, who I huggled and welcomed to the team of wrestling wonders!
I grinded Poliwag to level 25 on Route 10 to get him to become a Poliwhirl. When done so, I used my water stone and made my newest party member:
WRANTHOR
Come to be. Let's get ready to rumbllllllllllllllleeeeee!

After that little grind, I bought a Soda for the guards and they agreed to let me in Saffron despite dangerous roadworks ahead. Those crazy guards; caring for the sake of their thirst than their community's safety..

Next, I arrived at the ol' 'Gym' where I decided to let loose and had a good clean fight with the trainers there. WRANTHOR wasn't too powerful in this gym for now since he's level 25 and all, but he'll improve.
WRANTHOR's role will be Special support and the status problem guy. He has three moves that can cause Status problems and the proud owner of Surf.
Anyway, after I wrestled the Karate Master out of his ring, I decided to pick Hitmonlee for my journey. I named him Hitomi. Why? It sounds awesome, that's why. If I got Hitmonchan I would've called him Hikari. Although that sounds more of a girl's name.

Now that I have both Hitomi and WRANTHOR , I decided to head back to Fuschia and train in the grass next to the Bird Keepers near cycling road. Long, boring grinds to level 37 ensued; but it'll be worth it once I defeat Koga.
As a little bonus, I decided it was essential for Wranthor to obtain Surf ASAP. Therefore, I decided to go have a stroll down the safari zone. Just because I had free balls, I captured a few Pokemon such as Pinsir, Kanghaskhan and Scyther. They'll never, ever see the light of day again..
It took me two tries to get to the winners' house. The first time, I was told to stop right IN FRONT of the entrance!


Current Party
"image removed"
Wranthor
Level 37
HP: 128
Ice Beam
Surf
Hypnosis
Body Slam
Highest Stat: Defense - 88
Lowest Stat: Special - 68 (It's still tougher than the rest so he can work with being a special fighter.)
Fun Fact: Despite being labelled as a leader with the bold text and Impact font, he's actually the weakest in the party so far. However, he's still awesome for his type coverage and the abillity to Freeze, Sleep and Paralyze.

Hitomi
Level 36
HP: 91
Double Kick
Meditate
Rolling Kick
Highest Stat: Attack - 102
Lowest Stat: Special - 38

Yes, I'm THAT bored, lol. Episode "blog" Number 4 time :D

After my Victory over Lt. Surge and gaining my 3rd badge, I left to go back to Cerulean City to redeem the Bike Voucher that the Pokemon Fan Club leader gave me. Unfortunately, as I needed 10 pokemon in order to obtain the flash HM, I decided simply to go through the Rock Tunnel without a map. After a hour of frustration, I found myself at the end, near Lavendar Town, and after a few more battles, I went to the PokeCenter for a much needed rest.

I met my Rival in the Pokemon Tower, and easily defeated him. I then went down to Route 12 in hopes of catching a Venonat, then remembered that the grass was on the other side of Snorlax :( So I went back to Lavendar Town, and cleared the trainers to the west, reaching the next underground tunnel, and arriving in Celadon City.

I then decided to take my luck at the Casino, spending a lot of my money left on gambling, spending about 4 hours, I finally had enough coins to buy a Pinsir! Creating the 4th member of my bug team, Clamps~ (Gogo Futurama Reference :P) After a little bit of training, he caught up to the rest of my team. I bought Butterfree a Razor Wind TM, and used my Body Slam TM I acquired earlier on Pinsir.

After some arduous training and defeating her Jr. Trainers, I was ready to fight Erika:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odPGsjuycYQ

Though I could've easily taken her out simply with Beedrill, I wanted all my pokemon to get in on the action. After the battle, I taught Shroomie Mega Drain from the TM reward.

Current Team:

Celest (Butterfree)
Level: 32

Confusion
Psybeam
Stun Spore
Razor Wind

Spitfire (Beedrill)
Level: 31

Poison Sting
Cut
Pin Missile
Twin Needle

Shroomie (Parasect)
Level: 31

Scratch
Spore
Mega Drain
Dig

Clamps (Pinsir)
Level: 31

Vice Grip
Seismic Toss
Guillotine
Body Slam

Finally decided to go with Water in Silver.

Finally decided to go with Water in Silver.

Well, if you're going to do Silver, you HAVE to start with generation 1.
It's Ultimate because you have to go through all 4 generations with one type.

Anyway, I'm uploading my battle with Koga now. It was a hard as hell battle.. Everything about it was harder than any other gym battle; check it out when it's done!

 

[Tony Montana]

ok ill start with Yellow then, and Ground Type. Changed my mind.

Good choice! I'll be reading yours or watching yours when you post your progress.

Someone needs to make banners for this, I'm no graphic artist but it'd be awesome to have our own banners for this thing.

This progress is bugging me

Started on Yellow's Mono-Bug this morning...

Having finished playing Track & Field for the NES, I sauntered downstairs.
Ignoring my mother, as per tradition, I opened the door for an inhalation of something other than bad cooking.
Strolling north to relieve myself, I had yet to begin when The Pokemon Prof. himself begins.
Talking to me that is.

Good thing, too, for the patch of grass I was gonna go for concealed a Pikachu burrow's front, um, doorhole? The Professor threw a Poké Ball and sucked it up like a shop vac. After a tense lolwut moment, I found myself infront of the Professor and beside "that kid" of his. OAK wanted me to take this brown furry critter for my own protection.
Going for it, "that kid" slams me into a locker. Fortunately it was bound shut with a twist-tie...
Seeing the trickle from my pinched nose, The Prof gave me that ironically colored Pikachu. "That kid" wised up the gall to challenge me to battle. I showed him my Pokémanz and lost to his EEVEE. Having called me a n00b, "that kid" ran off. If only was Sk8r McGee! Grrr!
Having named my PIKACHU "SHAFTED", with my well earned freedom, I walked north like a soda chugging Forest. Forest Gump.
Arriving at the 'big city', I went to purchase some Poké Balls. Unfortunately, a brown raccoon wearing a purple apron asked me to deliver a package to The Prof. Accepting on behalf of mum, I went down to deliver. On delivery, I received a cellphone. Sweet!
Reading the instructions, I learn that in my possession is in fact a Pokédex.
After buying 3 Pokéballs from the 'big city', I continued north through the Viridian Forest. On encounter of a Sixth Level Black Belt CATERPIE, I showed my moves. ^__^ And captured it with ease. Dropping METAPOD liek Mudkipz (whatever they are), CATERPIE evolved into a METAPOD. Using my now uber legend, I walked through the forest bopping other METAPOD on the head and showing losses to the Bug Catcher masses. With the exit ahead, my METAPOD evolved into BUTTERFREE. With one Tackle left, an abundance of Confusion, and a 'grey & gritty city' was just afew strides ahead. Healing at the Center of Pewter, I wormed my way into the Gym.
On pwnage of the Leader, and with my Lv. 15 BUTTERFREE, I returned to the Center of Pewter and shafted SHAFTED into SOMEONE's PC.

Saved game @ 1.38

[Ikwaylx]

HAHA. what was the second pokemon u sent out? in the beginning u got owned! haha i shouldnt talk i didnt even take the challenge...

The second one was Wranthor, also called Poliwrath.
Yeah, I got hax'd by Venonat's critical there.. I should've used Surf or Hypnosis on the thing, but I was too shocked by it's power! That thing was powerful for a little bug ball thing.
I was lucky in the end, without Dig I surely would've lost against Koga.

Oh, and hey Matiass!
