Stadium Arcadium - CLOSED

[Sydian]

Yeah guys, this does end on the 31st. Sorry for any confusion.

Found thing while playing Argent. 300

But before that, I beat Faulkner. 100

I beat the E4 with an NFE team consisting of Braixen, Petilil, Zweilous, Porygon 2 (shiny!), and Togetic. Electabuzz was supposed to be on the team, but I accidentally left Golem for my Random team in the party. I didn't use him at all in this run through. I couldn't restart because I didn't save before the E4 and realized too late and didn't want to lose all my training AGAIN. Sorry, Electabuzz. :( 200

Total: 3700

Gavaanti's other moves are Sing and Confuse Ray.
Gavaanti literally just OHKO'd the entire League using Body Slam and Ice Beam. Except Lance's aerodactyl.
Which we confused to death.)

Total: 2200

 

[Sydian]

DOES "F" COUNT AS A TERRIBLE WT NICKNAME FOR A ZUBAT?!

YES. Haha. I'm pretty lenient with terrible names because pretty much anything that makes me laugh or think "why would you ever do this" is considered a bad name. Don't look through my boxes on HeartGold. I have an Infernape named The.

 

[Pendraflare]

There's still more i've been up to:

Spoiler:

All four of these I did in Soul Silver. The first three I did yesterday night, the last one I did today.

Man, I don't remember when I last played my main Platinum, but I got Drifloon in it.

And I beat Clay in my Red Mono-Color. His first two weren't that tough, but Excadrill took a tad bit of strategy, although I had Intimidate ready.

And here's my character in X, so that's more.

Points total: 4100

I didn't name them since I cannot use them because I am doing a Nuzlocke~

  I just finished doing this. Decided to use the restaurant to level up for Dex data, then saw this as a mini-challenge. I got a perfect meal on the third try, and was one turn short of a perfect meal on the second (I took two moves to defeat the Milotic/Wobbuffet trainer who required three).

  After breeding for my Eevee, I bought a Water Stone and a Fire Stone to evolve the first two, and leveled up the third Eevee by the Moss Rock in the Winding Woods.

[waters_echo]

... Does playing in a supermarket whilst shopping count as a "strange location"?
Does the photo count if the only part of you visible is part of your hand (and your game)?

(Also, we managed to actually get a REALLY terrible nickname in WT, in addition to "F" the zubat: GURGL SLURP the azurill (sic))

 

[Nah]

Ok, so I FINALLY got around to doing some stuff for this event, so here ya go:
