nflchamp Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Well, I started since I want to use TV to watch the Brewers game rather than play video games. Named myself nfl. Picked Charmander as my starter. I'm uncreative so I'm just going to use gemstones for names, such as Garnet for Charmander. Garnet has a quirky nature. Beat down on RIVAL, because the level 5 starter battles are easy. I stroll through Viridian Forest; Ember just beating everything down, seeing how everything is weak to it. Then run back through Viridian Forest to beat down on RIVAL again and head back to take on Brock. The team going into the fight against Brock: Garnet Charmander Quirky Level HP ATK DEF SATK SDEF SPD 15 38 22 18 23 24 26 Scratch Growl Ember Metal Claw Yeah, this was fun. Geodude isn't much of a problem; 2 metal claws and it's down. Garnet only took 6 damage, which was helpful. Onix gets growled at once, reducing the damage from rock tomb to 17. Garnet is slower than Onix after the speed reduction though. I use a potion and another rock tomb leaves Garnet at 18 HP. For some reason Brock decides this is the time to use bind (bind!) and follow with tackle. I laugh and growl twice more, so tackle is down to 2 damage a hit. Garnet is at 10 HP, so I use another potion. 4 metal claws later and Onix is down. This gets Garnet to evolution. And I decided to stop and write this up with that. So the team right now (all one pokemon of it): Garnet Charmeleon Quirky Level HP ATK DEF SATK SDEF SPD 16 46 27 24 30 30 33 Scratch Growl Ember Metal Claw Current play time is 0:40, if anyone cares. Caught a Jigglypuff quick enough on route 3 and named it Pearl. Got it to level 9 and pound, at which point it wasn't that bad when it didn't take critical hits. Can beat Zubats easy enough and can pick up cheap EXP by switching out on Geodudes. Eventually had to stop using Pearl and let Garnet finish to get us to Cerulean. Taught Pearl Mega Punch, too. Team: Garnet Charmeleon Quirky Level HP ATK DEF SATK SDEF SPD 23 62 38 34 42 41 46 Scratch Smokescreen Ember Metal Claw Pearl Jigglypuff Naughty Level HP ATK DEF SATK SDEF SPD 15 59 22 13 18 11 12 Sing Defense Curl Pound Mega Punch Playtime is 1:49, now.

Kon Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I actually started this up the day after I found out my first two picks, since I knew that my only Pokemon for a while besides my starter would be Clefairy. I named myself Bugs 'cause I've been on a Looney Tunes kick lately. I mercilessly beat down Daffy's Squirtle with my Rash Charmander, Yosemite, and l can't help but laugh at how simple it was. I took a stroll through Viridian Forest while leisurely massacring everything in sight with Ember, but when I got to the end gate I realized that I had not fought Daffy in Viridian, so I ran back out and did that instead. I got through to Pewter City in no time flat and punted the kid who keeps thinking that light-years measured time. I didn't have any problem with Brock's Geodude, but his Onix was an ass, getting more critical Rock Tombs than he should have. So to remedy this I leveled up Yosemite to get a much stronger Charmeleon and handled the Onix with no problem. Tried to avoid as many trainers as I could on my way to Mt. Moon so then I could use those for my soon to be acquired Clefairy. I snuck around Mt. Moon and went down to the floors to have a better chance to find one, but I ended up spending much to much time trying to get one with the nature I wanted. Finally caught a female with a Modest Nature and named it Sniffles. Spent the next hour or so leveling up Sniffles (who was at level 10) to level 18 (the level Yosemite was at the time) with the left over trainers and these really weird guys in the most ridiculous looking jumpsuits. I also picked up the Dome Fossil while I was in there, 'cause I thought it looked cooler than that spiral-y one. Went in to Cerulean and tried to challenge the gym. I cleared the first two trainers, but Misty was giving me a really hard time even though Yosemite and Sniffles were at the same level as her stupid Starmie. So I left and instead beat up Daffy and his newly acquired Rattata and Abra and began my trip to Bill's Cottage. Right now I just cleared Nugget Bridge and I'm getting ready to tackle the other set of "marathon" trainers. Current team: Yosemite Charmeleon Rash Level HP ATK DEF SATK SDEF SPD 23 64 34 39 46 36 46 Scratch Growl Ember Metal Claw So far, nothing has been able to stand up against Yosemite, except for Misty's ass of a Starmie, that is. Sniffles Clefairy Modest Level HP ATK DEF SATK SDEF SPD 23 72 26 33 42 36 28 Pound Minimize Encore Sing Sniffles has been my most excellent little troll with her Cute Charm ability. Unfortunately, she only has that Pound attack to do any damage, but luckily it hasn't hindered her too much. And I'm not quite sure when I should evolve her, 'cause even though I know she gets some pretty awesome moves as is, but she'll be pretty weak compared to the other members of my team. Any suggestions? Oh, and playtime is 3:50 because of all the EPIC GRINDING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Started this a while ago. Named self Harz, rival Hausen. Charmander starter named Beats. Beat up Hausen's Squirtle, headed up to Vermillion City, forgot what I was supposed to do so I ended up wandering for a while trying to remember how to get running shoes, got Oak's package and delivered it. Went back to Viridian City and north into the forest, catching a Ratatta(HMSLAVE 01) along the way), wandered around a bit getting lost which was fine because Beats could one shot everything with ember, remembered I could fight Hausen on Route 22 so went back and beat him again. Went back to Viridian Forest, finished beating trainers and getting lost and exited with Beats at level 15. Healed up in Pewter City, bought a couple of extra potions for the Gym and went inside. Pewter Gym. I hate that fucking Sandshrew. Beats leveled up to 16 and evolved after beating the camper, Brock was cake. Went east to route 3 and got the running shoes(finally). Play time: 01:12 [spoiler=Team]Beats Charmeleon(Timid) Blaze Lv 17 HP 48 Attack 23 Defence 30 Sp. Atk 33 Sp. Def 31 Speed 40 Scratch Growl Ember Metal Claw Route 3 is full of masochists lining up their pokemon to be one or two shotted by Beats, glorious glorious free exp. Caught a Spearow and stored it, recovered PP at the Pokemon Centre and entered Mt. Moon. Caught a Zubat in Mt. Moon, named her Allegra and started feeding her some exp, notably I put her in the lead so she could gain happiness quicker. Ran into a Clefairy, which would have been nice but someone else drafted it first. Made my way through the cave, grabbed the Helix fossil, exited and ran straight to Cerulean City and healed up. Cerulean Gym. Beat the two trainers with Allegra, but she was too weak to solo Misty and as for Beats... yeah. --- Left the gym, went up and beat the shit out of Hausen then the 6 trainers along the bridge, Allegra evolved into Golbat and learned Wing Attack(finally an attack with STAB!) --- Went back to the gym, Allegra one-shotted Staryu with Wing Attack, and managed to wing attack Starmie to death with 1 hp left. Good job Allegra. [spoiler=Team]Beats Charmeleon(Timid) Blaze Lv 24 HP 65 Attack 32 Defence 42 Sp. Atk 45 Sp. Def 42 Speed 57 Scratch, Smokescreen, Ember, Metal Claw Allegra Golbat(Rash) Inner Focus Lv 23 HP 70 Attack 46 Defence 39 Sp. Atk 45 Sp. Def 38 Spd 52 Leech Life, Supersonic, Bite, Wing Attack Left, healed and battled my way over to Bill's house to get the S.S. Ticket. Not particularly difficult.

eclipse Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yay, started! Named myself eclipse (DUN DUN DUN) and my rival oratio (this is a joke from EM). Chose Squirtle, beat up Bulbasaur, ran through Viridian Forest, took 15 minutes to get Pikachu and another 20 to beat up all the trainers I skipped. After that, beat up Brock so quickly it wasn't funny. Not much to say so far. Team: Diver (Squirtle): 14 Aegis (Pikachu): 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) I'm going to try to make my run mildly interesting so I will have various screenshots throughout the game. NOTE: I've only ever played pokemon red before. [spoiler=Start to First Rival Battle] Today's 10 year old's don't know how to push the A button. PROFESSOR MOTHERFOCKING OAK! Some people name their rival Gary, some name their rival Fagballs. I name mine Lewis. Always. This kid knows where it's at. I'm sure if I gave Rattata a good kick it would leave me alone. Bulbasaur has his trollface on. I've decided to name my Pokemon after Fire Emblem characters. I'm sure you see the resembelance. You've got to be fucking kidding me. This happens every time. Charmander has 1 HP left. I had 7. I hope you don't suck as much as Lowen. WTF? More help menus? How do I get rid of this? Mankey is pretty cool. He doesn't fail earlygame like Bulbasaur. God dammit, you again? Does Charmander have a fucking Killing Edge eqipped? Easy for you to say.

Viridian Forest was pretty boring, Fiora 0HKO'd everything with Gust. [spoiler=First Rival Battle to Brock] I see a lot of flowers and trees, actually. YEAH! YEAH! ... If you say no to his offer, this is what he says. He must be really desparate. Oh shit, he looks pretty manly. He must be tough. ... 2 attacks, and Brock falls. Wow.

All are pretty OP right now. Edited April 24, 2011 by General_Horace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperblade Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 So, since my first pokemon isn't available until Rock Tunnel, I had my Rash Squirtle solo up 'til that point (skipping a good deal of trainers) and then catching a Level 16 Naive Machop. I'll probably go back and have him kill some dudes since I can.

Paperblade Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Rock Tunnel: Machop slaps rock types around because he's a goddamn machop. At some point between here and Celadon Gym, Machop evolves. I have two pokemons to get from the game corner so after getting to Lavender, I rush over there and GAMBLEGAMBLEGAMBLESPENDALLMYCASHONCOINS for a Hardy Pinsir and a Hardy Porygon (... seriously). Celadon Gym: I clear out the gym after much frustration (I was literally swept by a Weepinbell Stun Spore parahaxing me at one point) and leave Erika for later. Porygon is pretty sick (yeah I'll take starting with Psybeam and Recover at level 20) and I'm not sure why he went so late, and head over to the Rocket Game Corner. Rocket Game Corner: Pinsir 2 shots like everything here despite being level 18 because he is absurd, so him and Porygon play catch up. Machoke sweeps Giovanni like a boss. I head back to Lavender fighting the dudes I skipped before for some EXP. Lavender Tower: Porygon sweeps my rival like a boss. I catch myself a Rash Gastly and it sweeps the tower with Pinsir owning the top floor of rockets. Head back to Celadon and Gastly+Porygon sweep that shit, Gastly evolves to Haunter.

eclipse Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Next~! Ran past as many trainers as I could en route to Mt. Moon, which wasn't that many. Once I got into Mt. Moon, I realized that Paras were on the ground floor. Hooray! Found a female one, and named her Fate. After that, I went back outside, and had Fate level on who she could (which wasn't that much, since she sucks against Spearow). Ran around IN Mt. Moon, and made every Zubat hate Pikachu. Somewhere in here, Squirtle learned Bite and became Wartortle. Meanwhile, Paras tanked out the one person stupid enough to use a Grass Pokemon in there. Got the Dome Fossil for lulz. Once outside, I healed up, then went hunting for my Sandshrew. It took me a while before I found a female one, and I was so excited that I forgot to nickname her (Vermillion, do not ask). After that, I stormed Nugget Bridge, and got me Nugget. Sandshrew went against everything physical, Paras took dibs on the Grassies, Pikachu hit the fliers, and Wartortle took out the rocks. Redid Bill, and got my ticket to paradise~! Misty's gym was hilariously easy. Her two underlings were no match for Pikachu. Staryu ate Thundershock. I used Stun Spore to paralyze Starmie, then had Wartortle paraflinch it. Pikachu was my backup, in the event that Wartortle was unlucky.

Funny that the last attack that would have normally killed it Critted, and raised my attack. Cheers. Lv.16, Charmeleon get. Onto Mt. Moon and to get my Gyarados-to-be for 500.

nflchamp Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Alright, continuing. Beat RIVAL again, and then took down nugget bridge. Nothing too difficult. Went ahead and caught a Bellsprout and named it Peridot. Proceeded to try and get it as much EXP as possible as we went and annoyed Bill. Evolved Jigglypuff after it learned Rollout.

Raven Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 So after beating Brock, I departed for the next Gym. I made way to the Pokemon Center outside Mt. Moon, fighting as few Trainers as possible so I can give magikarp EXP when I backtrack to fight them. Got Magikarp for 500, and named her Razgriz. Backtracked to beat all the Trainers, using the switch technique. Time consuming, but worth it. Went through Mt. Moon fighting all the Trainers and Rockets. Beat Gary, beat Nugget Bridge and the Rocket. Caught a Lv12 Oddish, named him Edge. Taught him Bullet Seed. Beat all the Trainers on the way to Bill's house, getting Magikarp to Lv18. I had 2 Rare Candies on me so I used them both on 'Karp to get her to Lv20 so she will evolve into a Gyarados. Instead of heading for Misty, I went ahead to Vermillion and to Route 11 to catch a Drowzee. Caught a Lv15 Drowzee, named her Chopper. Went back to Misty's Gym, beating her minions. My team as I am about to face her: Pokemon Lv.

He was on the way to winning, putting Staryu to sleep and confusing it with Confusion. But Misty used a Super Potion, then Staryu woke up, and confused Chopper with Water Pulse, and didn't even get hurt once by its own confusion. Chopper got hurt twice by confusion, and hit by 2 Water Pulses, fainting it. Edge made short work of Staryu with Absorb, though. Edge continued to fight Starmie, putting it to sleep. Used absorb to recover HP after getting hit by Swift. Starmie woke up and used Swift again, but Edge used Bullet Seed and ended it with 3 hits, the 2nd of which was a critical. Now gonna go onto the SS. Anne and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Played some more to break up my revision. Beat shit into Routes 6, 11, and SS. Anne, including Blue (Not "Gary", as I previously thought I named my Rival). Gloom evolved somewhere along here. Got Cut, taught it to Gloom, assuming we can't use HM slaves. Hope we can't.

Confusion spam continues ad Voltorb is eventually downed. I keep Chopper out to fight Pikachu, and it immeduately goes for Double Team. Poison Gas misses... misses... misses... misses... misses... misses... Pikachu has 6 x Double Team, and Thunder Waves Chopper. Poison Gas continues to miss... A mixture of Super Potion, Poison Gas, Quick Attack and Shock Waves happens for a while. And HOLY FUCK A POISON GAS HITS AFTER 15 ATTEMPTS. HOLY FUCK SURGE USED FULL HEAL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!! 5 more attempts later, another Poison Gas hits. Surge doesn't Full Heal this time, so I proceed to Super Potion/Confusion spam until Pikachu is downed. I keep paralysed Chopper out against Raichu. More Poison Gas is to be used until he's poisoned; Raichu's used one Double Team already. Two. Chopper falls to Shock Wave, so I send out Blaze who finishes Raichu off. Victory, hurrawr. We can't use HM slaves, can we? If we can, then it will be most useful because Flash is fucking shit, but I want to use it in Rock Tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
