I defeated the Elite Four and now I am waiting outside the door that leads to Cynthia.

Aaron - Second easiest battle, at first it was really difficult, but once I battled him about twice I got used to his team and what would work against which pokemon. Yanmega was the most difficult, I had some good luck with Confuse Ray to beat him. Drapion was also difficult, but after some Barriers, Jelly just took a few turns to defeat it.

Bertha - Definitely the easiest of the E4. Rosy's Grass Knot defeated everyone but Gliscor, who was defeated by Jelly's Blizzard.

Flint - Second most difficult, I needed my whole team to defeat him. Houndoom fell to Croaky's Revenge, and Flareon and Rapidash to Tentacruel's Surf, but Magmortar and Infernape were difficult. Batty's Fly and Confuse Ray eventually defeated Infernape, but I needed a few revives, and a lot of Moomoo Milk to defeat Magmortar. Tentacruel got a critical hit with Surf, so I got lucky there.

Lucien - Definitely the most difficult. Psychic > Poison, so that was expected. He easily took out most of my team quickly, the only useful members were Scorpy and Jelly, and Rosy's Shadow Ball was a bit useful. Bronzong was the most difficult pokemon I had to face, that Steel typing is hard to get across when I have a Poison team, but Jelly's Surfs eventually took it down, after some Barriers to prevent too much damage from Earthquake.

Now I am getting ready to face Cynthia.

Team:
Rosy/Roserade Lv.54
Grass Knot
Sludge Bomb
Shadow Ball
Synthesis
Batty/Crobat Lv.53
Fly
Confuse Ray
Roost
Cross Poison
Croaky/Toxicroak Lv.52
Rock Slide
Earthquake
Revenge
Posion Jab
Jelly/Tentacruel Lv.53
Poison Jab
Surf
Blizzard
Barrier
Scorpy/Drapion Lv.53
Thunder Fang
Ice Fang
Crunch
Toxic Spikes
 
So, I caught a Weedle and evolved it into Beedrill, took down Brock with Giles' Vine Whip. Caught and trained a Zubat in Mt. Moon, swept through Misty's gym with Vine Whip again, and went to catch an Ekans and an Oddish. Had quite a bit of trouble against my rival, but Roy's Horn Attack saved the day. Blah blah blah, trained on SS. Anne, where Pomona and Snape both evolved. I'm going to go to bed now and beat Surge in the morning, Snape's Dig is ready for him!

For my Fire Challenge I'm currently using Red because Fire Red and Leaf Green both glitched X.X.

Just cleared Nugget Bridge.

In case anyone's wondering I'll upload the entire recording once I finish each game, so once I finish Red I'll mass upload all of it.

Current team is:

Charmeleon Level 26.

No losses yet.
 
Gold - done :)

Today I easily swept through the Elite 4, every one of them was easy except Lance, who posed a bit of a problem with his Dragonites. After that I went on a rampage and beat everyone of the Kanto gyms, Caught an Electabuzz nicknamed Bell. and a Pikachu named Bolt, though Pikachu was useless and eventually dumped. I then grinded all of to level 60 and went to take on Red and beat him after a long grueling battle. I recorded a video but used the wrong format :P. I'll get it right next time.

Final team:

Ampharos "Squeel" level 62
Fire Punch
Dyanamicpunch
thunder
Thunder Wave

Review: Easily the most valuable early in the game, but became a weaker version of Electabuzz near the end.

Magneton " Match" level 61
Swift
Thundershock
Thunder Wave
Zap Cannon

Review: Finished second in the LVP(Least valuble pokemon) Although much improved from Red, his 4x ground weakness really hurt him, as did lack of Thunder or Thunderbolt.

Electrode "Volty" level 63
Rollout
Explosion
Swift
Thunder Wave

Review: Rollout, the only thing about him that was any good. He could sweep through entire teams with his great speed. Unfortunately he was knocked out in 1 or 2 hits.


Electabuzz "Bell" level 61
Quick Attack
Thunderbolt
Fire Punch
Ice Punch

Review: Great type coverage, became my best pokemon short after catching him, he is a bit slow and frail but made up for it.

Pikachu " Bolt"
Thunderbolt
Slam
Double Team
Thunder Wave

Review: LVP, i abandoned training him because he was to frail or slow to get anything done, and I would of been stuck waiting until the evening to catch an Oddish for Bills Grandpa.

Onto Ruby :)
 
I defeated Cynthia not too shortly ago, Garchomp was the only really difficult member of her team, though I needed a little luck to defeat Togekiss. Rosy defeated Spiritomb with two Grass Knots. Togekiss was defeated after a few Ice fangs from Scorpy, with a lucky Freeze to help me defeat it. Milotic faced Jelly, and could do hardly any damage, so I just stalled and healed my Pokemon. After I used barrier three times I defeated it with Poison jab, and Garchomp came next. Three Earthquakes would have been needed to make Jelly faint. Only two Blizzards were needed to defeat it, but I needed to use Moomoo Milks a few times so I wouldnt faint. Lucario was defeated by Croaky's Revenge, and Roserade was defeated by Batty's Fly.

Team:
Rosy/Roserade Lv.54
Grass Knot
Sludge Bomb
Shadow Ball
Synthesis
Batty/Crobat Lv.54
Fly
Confuse Ray
Roost
