Ultimate Solo Challenge

[Sleet]

Ummm. Can someone tell me where to find the HM for rock smash in Pokemon Ruby :P

 

[myrrhman]

Go to Mauville City (3rd gym). Its in the house to the right of the Pokecenter.

 

[Sleet]

Got it now, Thanks.

I really should have played the game before I started this challenge, but oh well, moving on :P

 

[myrrhman]

I think it makes it more fun. If you don't look ahead to what the Gyms are, then its like "O shi* the fifth gym is psychic, I'm screwed now.

 

[Aggressor]

Well I'm currently on hiatus with my Pokemon Emerald Duo Run. I'll try this.

EDIT - Since my DS isn't working, the order has changed, change it the new edit I've made below. I found that my emulator on this PC works well, I will be doing HG and D afterall :)
Games - Leaf Green > Sapphire > Heart Gold > Diamond

Pokemon - Lunatone

Leaf Green Log (COMPLETE)

Spoiler:

-Got Lunatone usingn A-Starter at Level 5
-Defeated Beenz really, mainly due to that I'm a Rock-type
-Defeated Beenz at the Pokemon League, again, with little effort. his team was very poor against me.
-Wiped Viridian Forest with Confusion, making it extremely easy
-Defeated Leader Brock with Confusion, Onix's Rock Tomb did not effect me very much.
-Went through Mt. Moon and defeated all the trainers, and most team rocket grunts
-As I am a Rock/Psychic type. I went to train at Nugget Bridge before taking on Misty's Staryu and Starmie.
-Surprisingly, my Hypnosis then Attack strategy worked fine. Starmie's Water Pulse didn't do much (I realized my Sp Def. is my best stat)
-Headed south to Vermillion City and trained more on SS Anne
-Fought Beenz on SS Anne, was REALLY easy, I knew Rock Throw, meaning that Charmeleon and Pidgeotto were easy to kill. Kadabras lack of the Defense stat made it easy to kill too.
-Got Cut and taught to my newly caught HM Slave Bellsprout.
-Got out and took on the Electric Gym. The only problem was fighting the Engineers Magnemite as well as a painful time of solving the switches
-Wiped out Lt. Surge's Pokemon will little effort, Raichu's Double Team and Thunder Wave was useless.
-Went back to Route 2 to find out that I need a Pokedex entry of 10 to get HM05 Flash. So I figured screw that, and will go through Rock Tunnel without it.
-Headed North to Cerulean again, went East and Cut.
-Went through Rock Tunnel, it was a bit hard to get through without Flash, taught Rock Slide to Lunatone via Move Tutor.
-Headed West to Celadon via the Trainer Tunnel.
-Defeated Erika with Psychic, 2 of 3 Pokemon were Secondary Type Poison.
-Cleared the Rocket Hideout with little effort, my Lunatone was well in it's lvl 40's by then.
-Defeated Giovanni only using Psychic.
-Got the Silph Scope.
-Taught Lunatone Shadow Ball via Game Corner Prize, as a way to defeat Sabrina in Saffron City
-Proceeded to Lavander Town to fight Beenz in the Pokemon Tower. Lunatone elevated to Level 50 during the battle.
-Used the Silph Scope to get my through the Marowak.
-Defeated all the Team Rocket grunts in the Tower.
-Got the Poke Flute and headed South
-Skipped most trainers on the route becase I couldn't be bothered AND the distance from any Poke Center
-Wiped out Kogas Gym in Fushia City, I had Shadow Ball which wiped the Hypno and Drowzee in there o_0
-Defeated Koga only using Psychic, OHKO'd everyone
-Got Surf from Safari and got Strength from the old man.
-Flew to Saffron City and took on Team Rocket at Silph Co.
-Defeated Beenz easily, except Alakazam kept using Calm Mind, though I still killed it. Charizard OHKO'd with Rock Slide (4x Damage)
-Defeated Giovanni and obtained the Master Ball from the President.
-Trained a little in the Fighting Dojo (Psychic is a OHKO move in this case)
-Obtained Hitmonchan (Put it in PC)
-Went on to Saffron Gym, I skipped all the trainers. Surprisingly, I made no mistakes on the teleporters (I didn't use a guide!).
-Defeated Sabrina with Shadow Ball.
-Flew to Pallet Town and Surfed south to Cinnibar Island
-Obtained the key from the Pokemon Mansion
-Defeated Blane using Rock Slide, except Rapidash which a Shadow Ball caused a critical hit.
-Proceeded to One Island with Bill.
-Did all the things I needed to do (Find the Game Corner Owner's daughter, etc.)
-By the way, I killed Moltres, for the lulz and Exp. (Not much point catching it)
-Went back to Cinnibar then Flew to Viridian
-Defeated Giovanni only using Psychic, used the obtained Earthquake TM on Lunatone (replacing Hypnosis)
-Defeated Beenz with an actual effort. This is strating to get difficult :P
-Zoomed through Victory Road.
-Went on to the Pokemon League, bought as many Full Restores and Revives I could.
-Defeated Lorelei, Dewgong was a bit annoying, but it gets harder later on..
-Defeated Bruno, words cannot describe how easy it was, Psychic was the very move that OHKO'd the whole team
-Defeated Agatha, OHKO'd the whole team with Psychic (They were all part-Poison)
-Defeated Lance, it was a bit of a challenge. Gyarados' intimiate made my Rock Slide fairly weak, so Psychic was the better choice. Araedactyl was the worst, the first use of Ancientpower caused every stat to rise, making it a pain to kill.
-Defeated Gary. Pidgeot was average, not much to say. Exeguttor was slightly a pain, Giga Drain took damage off Lunatone, but Sleep Powder missed luckily. Alakazam was only a pain because of me, Psychic (which had .5x damage) was actually doing more damage than Shadow Ball (2x Damage), STAB really showed its power here.
-Rhydon... meh, it was okay.
-Charizard burnt me, making Rock Slide worse. A Full Restore helped the burn and causing an easy kill.

I think it makes it more fun. If you don't look ahead to what the Gyms are, then its like "O shi* the fifth gym is psychic, I'm screwed now.

Yeah, I was kinda like that for the Third gym (Electric) When it came to magneton I was like "FFFFFFFFUUUUU" XD
Basically my moveset was
-Wrap(Not very effective)
-Lick(Not very Effective)
-Bite (Not very effective)
Poison Tail(Does not effect)

Got there in the end though.

I've not looked at the next gym's so the element of surprise is still their :P

 

[.Kaiser]

Username: .Kaiser
Versions: Blue > Crystal > Sapphire > Diamond
Pokemon: Rattata > Raticate

 

[Sleet]

Im on a different Laptop today so I don't have an Emulator.

Updates will have to wait till tomorrow :P

Raticate is Lv29, and has Hyper Fang, Quick Attack, BubbleBeam and Dig.

Basically, I'm at Vermillion with the above.

 

[dragon0fangz]

YAY im finally home so now i can start...
On Firered. I will have videos of every gym battle. i hope.
I A-Startered to get Beldum as a starter.
Beat Brock but not without difficulty. 2 defensive types duking it out will always take long.
I messed up bad. I went through Mt. Moon. Saved just before. when I finished, Meteor was at lv 19. Then i went north to fight Gary, but I lost to him, and Meteor was at lv 20. If he evolves now, he will be a Metang without Confusion/Metal Claw. So back to Mt. Moon.
Had some problems with that evolution, so i used a gameshark, but it took forever for it to work... but it works! I have a lv 20 Metang now! Meteor is now complete... No more Take Down...
videos up soon.

Spoiler:

vs Brock
This battle is stupidly long...

 

[Kardashian]

 

[myrrhman]

lol. I see someone was getting their critical hits with slash. Congratulations on finishing.

 

[dragon0fangz]

yeah...
Went up. Sweep sweep sweep. I might have made this too easy for me...
NM. fought Misty. She kept getting lucky T~T critical hits and Water Pulse confusions...
Finally got lucky and beat her. video up tomorrow lol.

 

[Sleet]

Wow, Looking at those images from Red or Blue (Whatever one it is xD ) brings back memories. It also reminds me how horrible the back Sprite for most Pokemon were back then. I mean Charizard looks great now but back then it was kind of Eww :P

Edit: Battle vs Flannery

Well...Getting to her was harder than actually battling her :P

 

[ExavierFR]

Haha, indeed those back sprites in the old days were .. let's say not perfect..
And Sleet, you're making progress. You've almost catched up with me :p.

Anyway, I have started on Platinum for becoming the champ of the Sinnoh region. I had a bit of trouble finding a way to get my Zangoose asap but I've found a way ;)
I took turtwig from Prof Rowan because Chimchar can do some damage to my Zangoose.. And I used and Action Replay Code to get my Zangoose asap (got it after I got poketch stuff). If someone needs those codes too they can always ask ;), as it wasn't easy to find a decent one.
I haven't done much except for clearing the first gym (and a small battle with team Galactica). But before that I even had some trouble.. I just got my Zangoose and next up is was trainer with a Machop of 1 lvl higher, I had to redo that battle several times :p.. And also the first gym wasn't easy on me as it was, again, a rock type gym. I don't hit at all and they hit decent. But I managed to get trough without too much grinding. Had some luck with the moves the leader used. Below are some pictures and next update will be following.

 

[dragon0fangz]

I have made minimal progress. Merely went to SS Anne and Swept with OHKOs. occasionally 2HKOs. About to face Lt Surge. Misty vid is processing soon.
Got the TMs Brick Break and Rock Tomb. Meteor is now lv 31. Yeah this is way too easy.
Just beat Lt Surge, easily. Video will come tomorrow, because my videos take like 35 minutes to process...
yeah. vid vs misty up.

Spoiler:

vs Misty
got lucky

I might need that code. Depends if I can play Platinum on an Emulator or not. If i'm using an Emulator i'll just hack it in with pokesav or something. I'll let you know when im nearer to Sinnoh though. I have no idea how far I have to go In Ruby :P

 

[Blu·Ray]

Sorry for the lack of updates but here is the next:

I Defeat everyone on the way to Maylene and wake, but i couldn't defeat Maylene so i got to Wake. He was (surprisingly) more easy than Maylene, so i defeat him. But after some grinding i Defeat Maylene. I don't want to make a long update so i don't post the battle details. I caught a Fly slave, a Starly (named Heatran). Also Happiny hatched from the egg (i named it Arceus). I couldn't find out how to get further but i found a walkthrough on youtube so i found out i had to follow a stupid Galactic Grunt, and after that i got Secretpotion from Cynthia. Now im on my way to celestic town.

Mountain is now Lv. 47 Moves: Dark Pulse, Rock Slide, Thrash, Earthquake.

 

[Sleet]

You have got to be kidding!!

Someone reliably informed me today, that the Champion of Hoenn is Steven and he uses Steel type Pokemon.

Please tell me this is untrue, if I struggled against that guy in the third gym, how the hell am I supposed to beat the champion? :(
