I'm going to try this. I'll use red version and use poison types.

 

[myrrhman]

You know what? A lot of People are using Poison Type Pokemon. I'm going to do that, because Poison is usually my least favorite type, and see what Poison is all about!

Named myself A and Rival LOZER (mwahahaha)
Got Bulbasaur named ARSENIC, and beat LOZER
Delivered Parcel at 2:21
Caught Lv. 4 Nidoran (COMET) at 2:23
Stopped to think about who I was going to have on my team, realized that I hate all Poison type Pokemon but Nidoking. Also grinded til I got Vine Whip and Horn Attack
Beat Brock
Evolved both Pokemon before Mt. Moon.
Beat LOZER above Cerulean at 2:46
Saved Bill at 2:49

MVP lol

ARSENIC the level 17 Ivysaur
Tackle, Cut, Leech Seed, Vine Whip
Ended up being Cut Slave

WINDEX the level 13 Zubat
Leech Life
I tried training it for like four levels, but I don't see this ever being worth it.

And the HM Slaves Pidgey and Lapras (Fly and Strength)

 

[Shake]

Update #1
Named myself Shake.
Got Bulbasaur and named him Ivy.

~That's it so far.

 

[myrrhman]

Bored in class, going to do another type... Rock should be hard (get it?)

Started, me A, rival LOZER, Bulbasaur, etc. Same stuff as usual happens til after Brock, so we'll start there.
After Brock, I went straight to Mt. Moon, avoiding all the trainers I could. I caught a Geodude (BOULDER) and went back to defeat them.
LOZER was easy with Rock Throw
Saved Bill and stuff
Got Dig for BOULDER, and also taught him Mega Punch.
Misty was really tough with the newly evolved BOULDER, but I got lucky when she used an X-Defend on Starmie instead of killing me, and I got a critical hit with Dig.
Sold everything I didn't need.
Beat LOZER on the S.S. Anne, also got Cut (which I taught to Ivysaur).
Beat Lt. Surge after about 10 minutes of searching for the damned locks.
Went through Rock Tunnel to Celadon, got Pokedoll, Rock Slide, Ice Beam, and extra Water. Taught Graveler Rock Slide.
Stupid game hax. Lost to LOZER in Lavendar Tower because his Lv. 22 Gyarados had Hydro Pump. The second time it was easy because Gyarados missed.
Got Pokeflute, went on to Silph Co.
Had the same problem that I had in the Tower. Took a bunch of tries. Got Lapras
Earthquake Earthquake Earthquake Earthquake goes Giovanni
Earthquake Earthquake Earthquake Earthquake goes Koga
Got Surf and Strength, taught both to Lapras
Went back to get Fly
Went back further to get Old Amber
Got to Cinibar, and got a Kabuto (BLITZ) with Ice Beam and Surf, and an Aerodactyl (METEOR) with Fly
Went back and defeated Erika with BOULDER's Earthquake (I love that its super effective on Grass/Poison Pokemon) and BLITZ's Ice Beam (Tangela didn't have anything super effective on it.
Got really lucky against Sabrina. Won with 5 Earthquakes (Mr. Mime took 2 because he used reflect) because Venomoth used Stun Spore instead of killing me, and Alakazam missed.
Pretty much gave up on training my new two Pokemon. I know I'm going to have to train at least BLITZ for the elite four.
Blaine was easy. Like before, EQx4
Giovanni was a little trickier, because Dugtrio used Dig. Aerodactyl had to take it out.
I got lucky and Gyarados missed its Hydro Pump on the first try.
Killed Moltres for some Exp.

Elite Four suicide training time!!!
Loreli: 20 tries, and still haven't put a dent in Cloyster.
My new strategy (other than suiciding with Graveler until he could one hit Loreli): Send in Kabuto. For some reason, Dewgong refuses to kill it, and spams rest. I can't kill it because I can't do much damage at all to it. So I hurt it, it falls asleep, I switch to Graveler, who explodes and Kabuto gets all the exp. Kabuto eventually evolves, but I realize that Kabutops can't learn Mega Drain. I don't know how i'm going to beat Loreli now. I guess I'm going to have to level up until I'm faster than her Cloyster.

Like the next level, Graveler was faster than Dewgong and Cloyster. It was then only a matter of getting Rock Slide to hit both times. Slowbro was easy and only used Withdraw, Jynx was taken down by Kabutops's Slash, and Lapras was almost one hit with Rock Slide, killed Boulder, and Kabutops killed it.

I saved, but didn't heal Boulder, thinking that I would easily lose to Bruno. I was wrong. Kabutops one hit both Onixes and Hitmonchan with Surf, 2 hit Hitmolee (Bruno used 2 X Defends on Hitmonlee) and 2 Hit Machamp (he used Leer on me or something.) Unscathed, I healed Boulder for Agatha. Gengar outsped me and used Night Shade, and I one hit it with Earthquake. Frozen Golbat got taken down by Ice Beam, and the other three got taken down by Earthquake, although they put a dent in Boulder's health.

Lance's Gyarados killed me.

I repeated mindlessly killing myself getting levels very slowly. I eventually started doing really good (Graveler outsped and one hit Dewgong, Cloyster, and Lapras, and Kabutops tanked Slowbro and Jynx with Slash).

I eventually got to Lance with a Fainted BOULDER and a Full Health BLITZ. Against Gyarados, Blitz slash 2HKO. Dragonairs got 2 Ice Beams each. But, on the second one I revived BOULDER. He OHKO Aerodactyl with Rock Slide, and BLITZ OHKO Dragonite with Ice Beam after a Barrier. I was on my rival. I didn't bother healing, because I figured I would lose, although I did Save.

Boulder vs. Pidgeot: Sky attack charge, Rock Slide miss, Sky attack unleashed (like 15 damage) Rock Slide OHKO.
Boulder vs. Alakazam: Psychic OHKO
Blitz vs. Alakazam: not sure what I did, I think I OHKO with Slash.
Blitz vs. Rhydon: Revived Boulder, Absorbed back to full health, killed it with Surf. It tried using a OHKO attack but it missed.
Blitz vs. Exeggutor: I Ice Beamed, he put me to sleep, did about half damage with stomp, and then I woke up and killed him.
Blitz vs. Gyarados: I used Slash, which brought him barely over half, he almost killed me with Hydro Pump, I slashed, he killed me.
Boulder vs. Gyarados: I revived Blitz and died to Hydro Pump.
Blitz vs. Gyarados: I killed him with Slash.
Blitz vs. Charizard: I revived Boulder, he fire spinned. when I was freed, he fire blasted and burned me, and then I almost killed him with surf. We both used Full Restores. Fire blast miss, surf, Fire Spin, continued, continued, Slash, Surf. I won.

Final Team:
Boulder, the level 69 Graveler

Rock Slide, Earthquake, Mega Punch, Explosion

Blitz, the level 62 Kabutops

Slash, Absorb, Surf, Ice Beam

Why is nobody else updating?

 

[myrrhman]

I guess I'll do another one then. I'll take normal.

Same stuff as usual with squirtle.
Caught Spearow
Beat Brock
Caught Jigglypuff and Clefairy (LOON and FAIRY)
Began training the two.
Beat Misty with Clefable and Wigglytuff
Saved Bill, beat Rocket Grunt and got Dig
Traded Spearow for Farfetch'd
Beat Lt. Surge mainly with Wigglytuff's Mega Punch after getting cut.
Made it through Rock Tunnel.

Paused my Normal run for a Ground run, which I did in 1: 13 :15 (I think that's the time). I made a video, and I'll post it later today probably.

Hey me everyone!

This thread is being closed to test out a new way of doing things. There will be a new thread for it, however. Don't get discouraged from updating there, and don't think you have to start all over, I will literally just transfer your progress over to the new thread!
