Gardenia was easy thanks to my Golbat. I'd just caught the Gastly before I last turned the game off; for this game I can actually have a Gengar thanks to my old DS and my Diamond version. Evolving Budew is turning out to be pretty tricky, though. It's hard to play during the day with school. :[

I'm figuring what I want my final three Pokemon to be - Toxicroak has to go on there because it's me, and I'd like to have a Tentacruel. For the last one I'll probably go with Drapion, as it seems like the only real decent Poison-type I can get without trading, and it's a Dark type too which'll help with Lucian. I'm dreading Lucian already. Dear sweet god.

Wow... I had totally forgotten about this. I haven't updated in ages.

Name: Gold
Type: Fire
Badges: 16

Pokemon:


Lucy Lv.45


Ares Lv.45


Magnol Lv.45


Flare Lv.46


Lizzie Lv.49


Ty Lv.50

Everything has proceeded normally. The only Gym leader I remember having trouble with is Blue, but I beat him eventually. Now I just need to defeat Red. I feel like I have a lot of training to do.

Made a lot of progess since my last update. I'd just got Wake's badge when last saved. I don't like having my Pokemon's levels all over the place like this; I'm probably gonna work on getting them all around level 30 before I go any farther. I've never really raised a Skorupi before, and mine is turning out to be one of those difficult Pokemon who doesn't learn any good attacks until after he evolves. I had to teach mine some random TM's I had just so he'd have an attack with an attack power of more than 20. :|

 

[geobz]

Okay, I need help with Gardenia. It doesn't help that 3 of my Pokemon are weak to here, and Grotle isn't quite strong enough.

I think I'll try a Ground monotype in Emerald.

Planned Team:

 

[Exdeath]

@Quake: Really, I would suggest leveling up your team-get everyone to level 20-21. At least get the rest of your team to Lv. 19. For the battle, I'd just have Grotle Curse six times on Cherubi, then heal and smash through her team, hoping that Roserade uses something like Poison Sting or Stun Spore.

Also, thanks to the people that have kept this topic alive while I've stopped posting.

 

[geobz]

Thanks, it worked. Roserade missed with Stun Spore and Quake's Cut got a critical hit.
Edit: By the way, can I catch Unown to make it easier to catch a Hippopotas?

 

[MurrMurr]

Roxanne Shamefaced!
This is just to signify that I exist and have started. Hai, guyz!

Yes, you can catch as many Unown as you want. Just don't use them in battle.

 

[MurrMurr]

A Whole Lot of Win!
Beat Brawly and Wattson, caught some Pokemon. I swear, Nincada is a god in ground monotypes. Ground type, Cut, and Flash. Halelujah.

Now, he's just an HM slave. ^_^

 

[PichuK]

Pulling out a win from the skin of my teeth vs. Roxanne in a bug mono, woot!
Proof of doom

Anyway, yeah. Bug mono. Team is in the vid, so eh. ._.

Also how do you get game vids to upload to Youtube? Mine don't work and I was gunna track my Crystal Water Mono on it.

 

[PichuK]

Step one
Step two, pick a codec (compresser, whatever) and place to save it
Step three, upload to youtube

Aaanyway, yeah. Progress, I'm just trying to beat Wattson now. :< damn his magneton.

Welcome back, me! Been a long time. Who'd have thought school could keep someone so busy? So...yeah...definitely abandoned my old monotype run, and I figure I might as well try to restart it on Pearl, since I haven't played that in half of forever anyway. So, here goes. Piplup (Gloria) ftw!
