Stadium Arcadium - CLOSED

[Harmonious Fusion]

Now, here's my actual daily update.

Earned the Marsh and Earth badges in LeafGreen. - 200 points

Gathered a group of Eeveelutions together in X. - 100 points

Migrated several Pokémon from White 2 to X. - 100 points

Running total: 1500 points

You may notice in the Eeveelutions screenshot that I've already gathered together my random team. I actually had all of them except Mawile already, but Lapras and Wailord are a bit low-leveled at the moment. I could probably get by right now, but I'd like to play it safe and do a little training first.

I'm also capable of monotyping the E4 with fire in both X and LeafGreen, and I'm currently weighing the pros and cons of doing it in one game over the other. X is definitely the easier option, but I'm dead-set about doing it with my in-game team, and one of its members is trapped in my battle box until the Global Link tournament ends.

 

[Necrum]

Can someone assign me a randomized team? I have no idea if I'll actually get to it, but at least I can have it on hand to check into if I get a chance.

Can someone assign me a randomized team? I have no idea if I'll actually get to it, but at least I can have it on hand to check into if I get a chance.

Sceptile, Crustle, Swoobat, Mienshao, Mega Garchomp, and Drifblim.

 

[Xilfer]

Yeah, I'll also have a randomized team just in case. Keep in mind I don't own X or Y so no Gen VI Pokes please.

 

[AoTora]

[Candy]

And I almost got to level 8... - 100 + 200

Spoiler:

EDIT:
I lost count at how many times I went back to level 1... - 300

Spoiler:

Total: 2000

 

[Pendraflare]

Got a bit more to toss in here.

Spoiler:

First I bred this Druddigon with Fire Fang and Thunder Fang, which I plan to use for breeding later. 200 points.

Then I got to Level 3 and 5 of Voltorb Flip. I've played this so much while I did my Wedlocke, so I got a bit used to it here. 300 points

And I beat Burgh and Elesa in my White Red Mono-Color. Burgh was cake, but Elesa was terrifying. Beat her first try but I only had Sandile with less than half health left! 200 points

Total points: 3400 - NOT 3700 considering Cryogonal only counts for BW contrary to what was believed previously.

[Sydian]

Alright, got a lot more i'm about to throw in.

Spoiler:

First on my White 2, I decided to take Nimbus, my Altaria that i've had since I first played through the game back in October 2012, and Ford, the Tyranitar I just used in the GT challenge, and entered the Elite Four!

I took on Marshal first. I used Dragon Dance against Throh but took a hefty amount from Payback before I killed him. I switched out for Ford against his Sawk to get Sandstorm going, and took a hit switching in Nimbus before I got that out of there. Machamp barely survived an Aerial Ace and killed me with Stone Edge before dying to the sandstorm. I had to Max Revive Nimbus and have Ford be death fodder against his Lucario. Then I used Dragon Dance and swept the rest of his team.

Next was Shauntal. Cofagrigus almost died to Crunch but lived and missed Will-o-Wisp, then she used her Full Restore allowing me to use Screech and kill her. For Gengar she was faster than Nimbus, survived an Aerial Ace and did big damage with two Sludge Bombs but I killed her. Froslass missed with Blizzard twice in a row (first turn I was healing Nimbus). Golurk I switched out to Nimbus for after I remembered she had Hammer Arm, which missed. I 2HKO'ed her with Aerial Ace then Earthquake despite Stone Edge hitting hard. Drifblim missed Thunder and was an easy OHKO with Stone Edge. Chandelure had a critical hit Energy Ball which knocked me low, but I still killed in one hit with Stone Edge (not a big deal, she was locked in because of the Choice Scarf so I could've just brought in Nimbus and used Earthquake).

Then we had Grimsley. Honchkrow avoided a Stone Edge turn one and was faster but died afterward.
Scrafty hit hard against Nimbus with Head Smash as I was using a MooMoo Milk on Ford before I killed him. Krookodile I OHKO'ed with Draco Meteor. Tyranitar hit super hard with Earthquake, while Brick Break left him with a sliver of health. He healed, though, and second time he lived because of his Focus Band! I had to switch in Nimbus, and he used Stone Edge to kill me. I Max Revived Nimbus as he killed me with another Stone Edge, then I killed him. Houndoom survived an Aerial Ace and lowered my Defense with Crunch, so after he was gone I Revived Ford when Bisharp was out…but I lived Night Slash, allowing me to kill him with Fire Blast.

After that was Caitlin. Musharna barely lived a Crunch, even with the BlackGlasses, and hit with Hypnosis, so we both healed. She barely lived again but missed with Hypnosis next turn, which was good for me. Next was Alakazam, and I switched out to Nimbus and almost killed her with Aerial Ace (surprisingly, I was faster than this) then took a hit with Psychic, but she died from the sandstorm. Reuniclus lived with a sliver of health and killed me with Focus Blast, so Nimbus finished that off. Once Gothitelle was out, I used a Revive on Ford as she used Flatter on Nimbus. Then I went back to Ford and ate her Psychic. Gothitelle used Thunderbolt, but I lived and killed her with Crunch. I stayed in with Ford against Gallade just so she could gain a bit more EXP, and Nimbus ate a Leaf Blade like a champ before killing her with Aerial Ace. Metagross barely lived a Fire Blast and killed me with Zen Headbutt, but she died from Life Orb recoil.

Finally we came to the Champion, Iris. Hydreigon was OHKO'ed by Nimbus' Draco Meteor.
Lapras was up next, and she was faster than Ford. She hit with Sing, and Hydro Pump was doing 2/3 with the sandstorm. She killed me with a critical hit, so I had to let Nimbus die as I used a Max Revive. Then she missed with Sing twice in a row as I Revived Nimbus...and missed with Stone Edge. I had to stall her out of Hydro Pumps, but right after she healed from the sandstorm whittling away at her, she lived Stone Edge with around 30%. Then she missed with Sing and I killed her. Very cumbersome!
Salamence was OHKO'ed by Nimbus' Draco Meteor. Aggron barely lived an Earthquake from Nimbus with like a sliver of health, even with the Expert Belt, and killed me from half with Head Smash. I didn't want to risk Ford being slower (which I was), so I Revived Nimbus, and Ford survived a Head Smash with 7 HP. She then missed, and I killed her with Ice Beam. Haxorus I knocked to her Focus Sash with Nimbus' Dragon Claw, and she used Outrage which killed me (and got a critical hit, but it did NOT matter since I was down to half), but she died from the sandstorm.
Finally was Archeops. Not wanting to risk anything, I Revived Nimbus as she missed with Stone Edge. I then stalled her until she was out of Stone Edges, then she hit with Dragon Claw, but I killed her with Stone Edge to win the fight.

And we did make it. Just if you'd like any further proof...

This morning, I did a bit more.

First, I caught a Manectric in Route 3's Hidden Grotto.

Then I received an Archen from one of my many Plume Fossils.

And I caught a Cryogonal in Twist Mountain. HOWEVER, I don't know if that one only applies to BW, where it has a 1% chance in any season other than winter, where in BW2 (which I was playing in case that Cryogonal's level doesn't make it obvious) it has a 5% chance. Posting it anyway.

Finally, I went to Pokéstar Studios and got the strange ending on Red Fog of Terror 3. That motivates me to make more strange endings, haha.

That brings my points total to 3000, unless the get Cryogonal one only applies to BW and not BW2 in which case it's 2700. I'll find out next edit haha.

Yeah, when we added that one, we didn't realize Cryogonal was 5% in BW2, so I'll edit it for just BW. So sorry about that. :(

[Sydian]

I personally commend anyone that catches all the Unown for this. I think that's the hardest thing that you can actually do for this challenge, excluding the luck based stuff like Pokerus. lol

 

[Harmonious Fusion]

You know, I get the feeling that HeartGold and SoulSilver are going to get a lot of attention during this challenge. And as much as I love Vietnamese Crystal, I've been neglecting it a lot lately. Let's win the Bug-Catching Contest in Viet Crystal!...

Oh.

So I won the contest in HeartGold after all. - 100 points

As long as I had my game on, I figured I might as well flip some Voltorbs. I easily got to level three, and reached level five after a few more explosions than I would have liked. I've never gotten to level eight, no matter how hard I've tried, so I didn't waste my time making any attempts. - 300 points

Running total: 1900 points

Feebas + Master rank
As is obvious, I already knew exactly where a feebas tile was in my Fish Challenge file. Was kind of worried that I wouldn't have enough berries left to get him up to a high enough beauty after Regalecida, but, well... we did, so that's great.)(also probably would have been easier to just use Rega for the Master Rank, seeings as she already has that ribbon but. Eh)


Several others in progress. Dualling up monocolour and monotype in CSA.
(Why is terrible nickname via wondertrade only 100, great skies, we've only even seen, what, TWO nicknames in all the times we've traded...)

I personally commend anyone that catches all the Unown for this. I think that's the hardest thing that you can actually do for this challenge, excluding the luck based stuff like Pokerus. lol

Catching the Unown's actually wasn't as time-consuming as I thought. I used Diamond with a level 100 lead plus a quick ball, so they were all easy to catch and it really didn't take too long to actually find them all. The hardest challenge for me so far has been getting to level 8 on Voltorb Flip.. I actually haven't gotten it yet and I'm not sure if I will.

Just to be clear, this ends on the 31st? I'm a little confused because the forum-wide notice says that it is only open for a week which would mean it will close on the 26th.

 

[Xilfer]

Yeah, I'll also have a randomized team just in case. Keep in mind I don't own X or Y so no Gen VI Pokes please.

Hello? Anyone please?

Yeah, when we added that one, we didn't realize Cryogonal was 5% in BW2, so I'll edit it for just BW. So sorry about that. :(

Well buttnuggets. -300 points I suppose.

Also, got an update.

While playing Red:

• Started up a Pokemon Red game last night. Finished it just now. Since it was on an emu, got some screens. +300
• 
  
  
• Since I beat all the gyms in the process, +800
• Solo'd the E4 and champ with my horribly underleveled Blastoise. Must have wasted at least 15 Hyper and Max Potions. +200
• 
  
• After that, did the Old Man Glitch to find and catch Missingno. +200
• 
  

While playing Christmas Gold:

• Whipped out the old Pink Monocolor team to go back and beat the E4 and champ in Christmas Gold. +200
• 
  
  
  
  
  
• Also, went to the game corner and after a (loooooooooooooong) while, got a Jackpot. +300
• 

While playing SoulSilver:

• Went back to my completed SoulSilver and my Ninetales found a Shiny Leaf. +300
• Also, Youngster Joey called me and I actually picked up. +100

While playing Volt White 2 and White:

• Made the Pokestar Movie Timegate Travelers. (VW2) +100
• Revived a Tirtouga from le fossil. (W) +100

My Black 2 sort of... crashed, I think? I don't know what's wrong with it, but it won't load the save file, so I guess it's unusable. Too bad, that Altaria I trained earlier was gonna be useful.

Points thus far: 4100

 

[Gulpin]

Hello? Anyone please?

You got Pilipper, Phione, Blissey, Unown, Altaria, and Wobuffet.. Sorry, not a very good team. And if you don't want to use Phione since it is a legendary, then the next Pokemon it gave me is Bastiodon.

 

[Inkblots]

Whoo! Finally got started. Wasted a lot of time trying to get vbalink to work with Wine on my mac so I could trade (which would make everything so much easier) but for some reason it decided it doesn't want to, even though it worked perfectly on my old mac *sigh*

Anyway…

Started a new game on Gold, hopefully I'll manage to finish it. And a quick question on that note - when do you consider a game "finished"? I assume after E4 and champion?

Listen to Youngster Joey's phone call - 100 points

About 50,000 times, thank you Joey.

Obtain a badge - 100 points x2

Make an in-game trade - 100 points
