I've just started Sapphire. I chose Torchic (obviously) and named it Cranberry, then made my way to Petalburg to catch a Shroomish, which I haven't thought of a good name for yet. Any suggestions?

Wow, you beat red with a 39 and a 40? And you call the level 79 your LVP? :P

Oh, and it must be named Shroob, Puffstool, or Daytripper. Shroob is from Mario and Luigi 2, Puffstool is from Pikmin, and Daytripper is from Misty's Emerald (Er, I mean Redchocobo) file of coolness that resulted in a screenshot LP and is the inspiration for my current LPing.

You kinda have to do all four generations too. :P

Anyway, I've almost reached Mauville. I decided to name my Shroomish "Marley". Got to Rustboro, beat Roxanne easily with Bullet Seed (it's alright that neither of my Pokemon were Fighting-type yet, right?). Saved the annoying old man's Wingull so he would take me to Dewford, as apparently this region doesn't have any kind of postal service. Caught a Makuhita in Granite Cave and named it Pogg. I have no idea where the name came from, it just felt right.

Time to show this region's fighting-type trainer who's boss.... apparently it's him. Yeah, he beat me on my first try. So I grinded a few levels and then beat him second time around. Nobody messes with the true Fighting-type champion (twice)! Went north, beat a few trainers and found my rival. She was surprisingly tough, tougher than in Emerald, but I still beat her easily enough.

Again, I've recorded the battle instead of describing them.

Cranberry/Combusken

[PokeCommunity.com] Ultimate Monotype Challenge

Lvl. 21
- Ember
- Peck
- Double Kick
- Sand-Attack
An absolute powerhouse. I can't think of anything wrong with this guy as of yet. Double Kick smahes everything in sight

Marley/Shroomish

Lvl. 22
- Bullet Seed
- Headbutt
- Stun Spore
- Leech Seed
Bullet Seed is a greatly underestimated move, it has proved useful and I guess will continue to in this water-dominated region. Stun Spore+Leech Seed is one of my favourite tactics. One complaint - he still isn't a fighting-type. ;)

Pogg/Makuhita

Lvl. 21
- Arm Thrust
- Fake Out
- Sand-Attack
- Rock Tomb
Slow, but solid. The weak link of my team at the moment, but I'm sure will improve. I accidentally didn't learn Vital Throw, which is annoying.

EDIT:

Er yeah, I'm just skilled like that, :P Lol no, they were all lvl. 73.

Oh, and it must be named Shroob, Puffstool, or Daytripper. Shroob is from Mario and Luigi 2, Puffstool is from Pikmin, and Daytripper is from Misty's Emerald (Er, I mean Redchocobo) file of coolness that resulted in a screenshot LP and is the inspiration for my current LPing.

Oh yeah, I read the Emerald LP. It truly is filled with awesome. Shame I already named it, I'll have to make do with Marley.

You can get Leaf Stones from a trainer who calls you, right? Well, it always takes forever to get that call. But I realized that you can kind of cheese out the game. What you do is go to your house and change the Daylight Savings Time thing. Almost all the time, when you walk out of the house, someone calls you. Then you just repeat until you get the Leaf Stone. To make it easier, just delete all the phone numbers besides the one you want. I think that Picnicker Gina on the route below Goldenrod has Leaf Stones. The key word here is "think," though.

... I hope that isn't technically "cheating." I think it's somewhat fair given that we have to go through the entire game with one type, it helps to be, you know, evolved. :/

Oh, this is the YeahYeahYeahs, by the way. If you could change my name on the front page to my new name, that would be great. I'm on the Fire type in Sinnoh.

Monotype Challenge Kanto : Bug

Okay, it has been almost four months. My internet has been down so I haven't been able to post any updates but I did complete my monotype bug challenge for the Kanto Region in Yellow. I tried taking a screenshot of it with my phone's camera but it totally sucked so I decided to just scrap it... :P I'll just post what I did.

Got the Cascade Badge by beating Misty (Sleep Powder pwned)
Caught a Venonat. (And did some grinding). Oh, and nicknamed it V
Met Bill and got the S.S. Ticket.
Beat Rival and got Cut on the S.S. Anne.
Trained a bit. (Evolved Venonat and Paras)
Challenged Surge and got the Thunder Badge. (Which was much easier using Butters' Sleep Powder.
Went to dark cave and wandered through aimlessly.
Made it to Lavender Town.
Went to Celadon and pwned Erika with Butters mostly.
Got the Silph Scope and then went and got the Pokeflute.
Went to the Fighting Dojo and pwned it with Venomoth and Butterfree's Psychic-type attacks.
Traveled to Fuchsia and went to find Surf (took forever) and caught a Poliwag to be the Surf HM Slave. I planned on getting a Scyther or Pinsir but didn't want to have to train anymore so I moved onward.
Beat Koga (which was easy with the Psybeam attack from Butters and V).
Went back to Saffron and defeated the Rockets (again, oh, and my rival too which was kind of hard since he had evolved his Eevee into Flareon).
Beat Sabrina (Not the easiest thing I'd ever done).
Surfed to Cinnabar Island and searched for the key in the burned down mansion.
Battled and Beat Blaine (in an epic and intense battle which I almost lost if it weren't for the sleep powder of my Butterfree).
Returned to Viridian and beat Giovanni (Was not very challenging at all).
Beat my Rival again (along with his evil little Flareon).
Barely made it through the Indigo Plateu.
Did quite a bit of training (which was spread out over a week because I was pretty lazy and tired from school).
Stocked up on items.
Battled & Beat Lorelei (Wasn't too hard.)
Battled & Beat Bruno (Used Shroomy for his Onixs since it knew Mega Drain)
Battled & Beat Agatha (Psychic moves were very helpful once again.)
Battled & Beat Lance (Which would have been nearly impossible without Sleep Powder.)
Battled & Beat Rival
Completed the Challenge

Final Team:

BUTTERS
Lv.62
Attacks;
-Psybeam
-Sleep Powder
-Poison Powder
-Double-Edge

SHROOMY
Lv. 58
Attacks;
-Mega Drain
-Dig

I plan on continuing on to Johto in Crystal Version

= Part Three: Splunking Galore =

Unfortunatley, I have a lisp, so some of the words in this section may be quite weird. (I don't really, but hopefully it will make things for more entertaining.)

= Gym Battle One: The Boulder Badge =

Now it is time to face Bwock, the Wock type Gym Leader. I wun over to him, and the battle begins.

Now first of all Bwock, appears to be blind, (or maybe just stupid) as he never seems to have his eyes open. Maybe he's needs that Laser Eye Surgery, they're always going on about on the TV.

Anyway, first Brock sends out his Geodude, which I defeat by using Growl and Leer, to weaken its Attack and Defense, and the repitition of using Fury Attack.

When I was younger, I used to think Fury Attack was called Furry Attack, like it was some kind of cute furry animal attacking you.

Back to the fight, next Bwock will send out his Onix, which I killed using the same method as with Geodude.

I have beaten Bwock and he gives me the Boulder Badge. Wow, well done Nintendo. Could you think of a worse name to give a badge. Let's hope Misty's badge actually has a decent name.

= Route 3, and Mt Moon =

Anyway, now that I have defeated Bwock, I am ready to head to Mt. Moon. I whizz through Route 3, avoiding the shorts obssessed boy. I then reach Mt Moon, and find it difficult to defeat the annoying Hikers, who seem to live in Mt Moon.

Sorry, I am going to stop my challenge, due to lack of time.

Thanks, for anyone who was reading the first parts of my challenge.

mondays suck · Feb 27, 2010

Player: mondays suck
Type: Bug
Badges: 8
Generation: IV (Platinum)
Location: Twinleaf Town

As you can guess from above, I finished Bug now. The last time I had updated it was after I had finally beaten Cyrus. After that, things went pretty fast. I beat Volkner, passed Victory Road with ease, and beat the Elite 4. Here's a more detailled description of these battles:
*bulbagarden.net image removed*The Jolteon took an X-Scissor from Scyther and paralyzed it, and the Raichu took a Bug Buzz from Yanmega and hit back with Charge Beam. I was already thinking that I have a problem, but Yanmega OHKOd his last 2 Pokemon.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Not much of a problem. Yanmega got a nice all stats boost from the Ancientpower that killed Staraptor, and then swept its way through my rival's team. Only Snorlax survived a Bug Buzz and paralyzed Yanmega with a Body Slam, but soon it died and despite my Pokemon being paralyzed, Torterra was no problem at all.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Another easy battle. My Flying moves OHKOd everything, except for Drapion, which did about 50 damage to Scyther with Ice Fang in its only turn.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Remember that my Yanmega had Giga Drain all the time? Well, I accidentally deleted it for Air Slash and kept the coverage-wise useless Shadow Ball instead. I didn't notice it up to this point. Suddenly I realized I have a problem. Well, thank's to her stuff's low Special Defense, Yanmega could still kill a lot of stuff, but it died. In the end, it was Scyther against Hippowdon, Aerial Ace did not OHKO, but Stone Edge missed, so I could kill it. Whew.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*3 Attempts. Because Yanmega failed to OHKO Flareon, my first one would have ended in a revive festival. I didn't want that. On my second attempt, I tried the whole thing with an X-Special, and it still didn't work. I won with exactly that strategy though, when I gave an X-Item to Scyther instead. Even Magmortar got one-hitted.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Probably the easiest Elite 4 battle in this entire challenge. Nothing could live a hit, except for Bronzong, which used its only turn for CM-ing. It didn't help.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Like Flint, 3 attempts. First, I swept her entire team with Scyther with just 1 X-Attack... Well, almost. It had been weakened by a Shadow Ball crit from Spiritomb, and when I was already sure to win, that damn Lucario showed up and used Extremespeed. I only know it's DP moveset, and that does not include that move. And then it turned out it also has Stone Edge. Second attempt (with Yanmega and defensive X-Items) got ruined by a crit, third attempt worked.

Final Team:

Stryke / Scyther f Lv.64 @ Sky Plate
Naughty Nature / Technician
- Brick Break
- Night Slash
- X Scissor
- Aerial Ace
MVP of these two. Great sweeper, just did not really like priority moves, as seen above (in case anyone bothered to read all that text)

Anisoptera / Yanmega f Lv.63 @ Insect Plate
Modest Nature / Tinted Lens
- Air Slash
- Shadow Ball
- Ancient Power
- Bug Buzz
With the two new STAB moves, things got a lot better, and Yanmega was finally equal in strength to Scyther. Scyther was a lot better overall though, since it took Yanmega so long to become finally useful.

This my most fun UMT up to now, Bug is really an awesome type.

So: thanks to PizzaFungi, Mothra, Cool Eyes, Eeek!, iWin, Forry, BulletPwnc, Flash, Sheracross, Stryke, Anisoptera and all the others I used that didn't make it into the final teams for all the fun. The ones from my HGSS attempt are excluded, that game was more annoying than entertaining to me since it didn't run properly.

Espeon96 · Feb 27, 2010

Kanto, Part 2:

Started from Pewter City after finishing the gym.
-Battled the 3 unavoidable trainers on Route 4, Squirtle evolved during these battles.
-Bought Magikarp at the Pokemon Center
-Went back and fought all the trainers I missed with Magikarp to gain a few levels

Now, finally for a slightly interesting bit: Mt. Moon. I was going to go through and battle all the trainers, and defeat
every wild Pokemon I encountered to gain valuable EXP for Magikarp. It all went well at the start, until I somehow managed
to faint against the trainer with an Oddish and a Bellsprout. Most of Wartortle's HP was gone from the earlier battles,
and it only took one absorb from Oddish to defeat it, which left me hopeless with a Magikarp vs. 2 grass types.

Take 2: Everything goes fine, Oddish and Bellsprout are no match for Full HP Wartortle and Bite. Nothing really happened
anywhere else in the cave. Magikarp learned Tackle somewhere, I beat all the Rocker trainers, picked up a random fossil,
and Mt. Moon was done.

-Saved at Cerulean Pokemon Center.

Team so far:

Wartortle Lv.22
Magikarp Lv.16
Pidgey Lv.4 (Fly Slave, Currently in PC)
