What do you mean by play for the lowest time? You can sign up, but we won't start until we hit the next multiple of three. As for lowest time, you post your play time when you post updates. Whoever has the lowest playtime when they beat Lance wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ema Skye Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Time: 0:40 Team: Chikorita Lv.10, Poliwag Lv.10, Geodude Lv.11 Both of the recruits weren't hard to find. Poliwag's Bubble and Geodude's Tackle really helped in taking down Falkner's Pidgeotto. I didn't even have to grind for Rock Throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Wraith Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Movesets will look something like this: Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion Ember→Flame Wheel→Fire Blast Mud Slap→Dig Quick Attack Cut→Thunder Punch Cyndaquil's main advantage over Totodile is rarer typing. Waters are super common (plus free Suicune), and having a Fire for Jasmine and Pryce will be helpful. Wooper/Quagsire Water Gun→Surf (HM) Slam→Strength (HM) Earthquake Sludge Bomb Looking back, I'm really not sure why I took him so early. Mostly for the Surf, and for a bit of early game help. Probably should have taken Magikarp though, in hindsight, but that would have taken too much grinding. Drowzee/Hypno Confusion→Psychic Ice Punch Fire Punch /Thunder Punch Shadow Ball All three punches plus Psychic/Shadowball goodness? He comes early game, and pretty much owns every single type. No, he does own every single type (except Normal). His only problem is his speed, really. He'll be super overleveled though, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem until late game, and he has really good special durability, which is important for the E4. I'm super excited about Hypno, and I've never used him before. Magnemite/Magneton Thunder Shock→Thunder Bolt (Tutor) Thunder Wave Tri Attack Flash (HM) So, this is pretty much just for the steel typing and STAB T-Bolt. Thunder Wave will come in handy, and I might get lucky with some freeze/burn hax? He's a pretty good poke though, I've used him plenty, and he's always been really helpful, especially for all those times surfing and running into dumb water types over and over and over. Should be one of my higher leveled units. Tauros Headbutt →Thrash Earthquake Rest Sleep Talk Definitely not as good as I originally though, but Tauros is a beast once he gets going. He's pretty durable, and will kill pretty much everything between EQ/Thrash. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a lot of SE potential, but still a solid unit. Jynx Lovely Kiss Ice Punch Nightmare Perish Song So I definitely thought she learned Psychic through level up. Oh well, she was mainly for her Ice powers anyway. Lovely Kiss is amazing, and Ice Punch will take down Claire/Lance. Perish Song will be a nice trick as wel;. Suicune Surf (HM) Ice Beam (Tutor) Waterfall (HM) Toxic I don't think I really need to say anything about Suicune. Surf and Ice Beam are really the only moves it needs, and it should be a really good poke. ------------------------------------- Suicune will probably be replacing Quagsire in the E4. Gym Strategies: Faulkner really shouldn't be hard. I'll probably have a Quilava (hoping for lvl 15) at that point, and that's enough to kill. Bugsy will be super easy. Team should be Wooper (lvl 12) and Quilava (lvl 18). Whitney will be the most challenging. This will be where most of my time is wasted, grinding the game shop to get necessary coins (savestates and guessing game FTW...if that's okay...otherwise I'll just have to wait until I have an insane amount of cash). I'm guessing my team will be Drowzee (lvl 18), Quagsire (lvl 22) and Quilava (lvl 23) Morty will be...tricky. Hypno will have to outspeed Gengar, or else hax a miss off Hypnosis, and that won't be easy. I'll probably be something like Hypno (lvl 28), Quagsire (lvl 24), and Quilava (lvl 25) Chuck will be simple. Hypno kills Primeape, Magnemite kills Poliwrath. Quilava (lvl 26), Quagsire (lvl 26), Hypno (lvl 30), Tauros (22), Magnemite (28) Jasmine shouldn't be too bad, and I'll be going for a Quilava sweep. I'll probably teach Hypno Fire Punch for this one. I'm really glad I picked him, looking at this midgame. Quilava (lvl 30), Quagsire (lvl 26), Hypno (32), Tauros (23), Magneton (30) Pryce will be simple. Magneton/Hypno will take Seel/Dewgong, and then Typhlosion can take Piloswine. Typhlosion (38), Hypno (35), Quagsire (28), Tauros (25), Magneton (33) Claire will be the first challenge since Morty. Thankfully I'll have Jynx and Suicune by then, both of whom will be able to quickly dispatch the Dragonairs. Then Hypno/Magneton for the Kingdra kill. Typhlosion (40), Hypno (40), Suicune (41), Tauros (30), Magneton (35), Jynx (35). Elite FIVE: Will has enough dual types that he shouldn't be hard. Xatus and Slowbro are downed by Magneton and Hypno, Exaggutor and Xatus die to Jynx, Jynx dies to Typhlosion. Hypno can really take them all with Shadow Ball Koga will pretty much by Typhlosion and Hypno. He's never given me problems, I'll just have to have poison heals. Bruno will be, once again, Hypno. I'm really shocked that he was taken last looking at his movepool. Suicune will likely help on this one for Onyx. Karen will be a challenge. Typhlosion for Vileplume, Suicune for Houndoom, Jynx for Murkrow, and Hypno for Gengar and Umbreon. Unlikely Hypno will live, but I'll take them down eventually. Lance, as always, is tough. Magneton will OHKO Gyarados, and will do some serious damage to the Dragonites. Jynx, Hypno, and Suicune will clean up the Dragonites and the Charizard. Aerodactyl will fall eventually. I'm guessing most pokes will be 45-50, while Hypno will be more like 55. Final Rival: Hypno takes Gengar, Alakazam, and Sneasal. Magneton takes Feraligatr. Typhlosion kills Magneton. Ice takes Crobat. ------------------------------------------------------------- So Tauros hardly does anything in my plans, but I'm guessing he'll be a good utility poke when somebody faints earlier than expected. My levels seem a bit high, but we'll see how it goes. Hypno for MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Beat Whitney and sitting outside National Park for bug catching contest cause Scyther. Team: Elekid Lv.15 (hatched out of Odd Egg), Bayleef Lv.18, Geodude Lv.19, Poliwag Lv.17 Bugsy was joke. Geodude beat him in 3 turns. Whitney was a bit harder, as her cow's Rollout's kept critting Geodude, shortening it's field time. Fortunately Bayleef was around to finish the job. Also hurr durr forgot that you needed cut to make it through the game. :/ Time: 1:20 Edited October 28, 2012 by Piss Sick Lawyer Lucina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Wraith Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Beat Faulkner. Level 13 Cyndaquil 0:32. Basically, I skipped Bellsprout Tower. Then Embered until they died. I'll have more of an update tomorrow, when I really start. Right now I'm kinda just chilling because my roommate hasn't come back yet, and I know I'll wake up when he arrives.

MacLovin Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) I had something typed, but Internet Explorer ate it. And I'm tooo impatient to redo it. Basically I spent tooo much time looking for Heracross. THat thing is the Geitz of Pokemon Crystal. I spent 11:15 looking for it. Anyways, overview now. KILLERCROC-Feraligatr Clutch at certain points, and solid all around. Rage is was useful at Whitney, because she doubleslapped it 5 times and then it 2HKO'd Miltank. It grew to rape and evolved at lvl 30. KOBRA-Arbok As soon as this thing got Headbutt, it killed shit dead. It looked for HEracross, and grew 4 lvls in the process. Evolved by Whitney, and helped everywhere. It's underrated. LIVEWIRE-Shiny Electabuzz At lvl 5, I gave it the three Punches. It still raped and didn't need babying or grinding due to stupid AI. Dizzy Punch took care of other stuff. Prof.Pygg-Slowpoke Ugh, slow, and only good in certain matchups. At least it can use Shadow Ball? Slow at start, and gets killed by ZUbats. But, curse+surf+headbutt+confusion is good until it evolves and I switch whatever water HM it has with ice punch and psychic>confusion and Shadow Ball>HEadbutt. BLUEBEETLE-Heracross 125 base attack+Horn attack. WHO CARES ABOUT BEING LVL 10, IT OHKO'D DODOUS, PIDGEYS AND OTHER SHIT. ROCK SMASH'D NORMALS/STEELS/ROCKS AND FURY CUT EVERYTHING ELSE. Oh, and Counter is fun. But god, all the rage I got while WASTING TIME LOOKING FOR IT. WILDEBEAST-URsaring Rape from the word "go" Suicune- Fe4!Sety of Johto. I'm in the basement of the goldenrod dept. store. Almost done with this fuckery. Minus the looking for the Heracross bit, I'm at 3:25 ooooh yeah. Done, just beat e4. Time: 4:37 Heracross fury cutter'd Wil and KArin, countered Bruno and Koga and learned Reversal just in time for Lance. And then proceeded to counter Aero's WIng Attack, the endure+reversal kinda went nuts. Oh, and even with unbalanced levels, this was easy. Arbok and Marowak were benced in favor of SLowbro and Suicune. Edited October 28, 2012 by Lowen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The competition's too tempting! I'll start this tomorrow night. Will I be able to finish as fast? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Wraith Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Well, I'm to Morty now. I'll probably go catch Magnemite and Tauros first though. Already released Suicune and stuff. Time is 2:14. I'm really hoping I can beat the next 3 gyms within 45 minutes, but it's a stretch do to silly stuff like the lighthouse. After Morty I shouldn't have trouble with anything though. Shadowball + Three Punches FTW. I think I'm basically done using Wooper, other than for Surf. Agaisnt Morty I'll be doing some heavy digging with Quilava, and I gave the quick claw to Drowzee, so I can get some good hax there. Yay poison typing on ghosts. Bugsy-Quilava (lvl 19), Wooper (lvl 9) Uh, yeah. OHKO'd stuff. Forgot to check my time Whitney-Quilava (lvl 23), Drowzee (lvl 14), Wooper (lvl 10) I lost this one twice. Drowzee took the Clefairy with a couple Hypnosis and T-Punches, but then misses Miltank all three times (well, I think he actually died to Clefairy the third time, but she had like, 1 hp anyway, so whatever). Quilava then Mudslaps x6, drinks some potions that I got for fweeeee and then proceeds to Ember. Morty-BAMF (lvl 28 Quilava), PWNR (lvl 19 Drowzee), CHICK MAG (lvl 19 Magnemite), RED BULL (lvl 13 Tauros), So as you can probably guess by the levels, screw Wooper and Tauros (who only knows Normal moves). PWNR took the first two, putting them to sleep and then confusioning them for the 2HKO. BAMF got a lucky double dodge on Gengar's hypnosis, and then was able to finish off the last Haunter with ease. I'm really tempted to not even train Tauros at this point, but we'll see how it goes. Magnemite and Drowzee are about to level jump. I'm at 2:41 right now Chuck-BAMF (lvl 30 Quilava), PWNR (lvl 24 Drowzee), CHICK MAG (lvl 23 Magnemite), RED BULL (lvl 16 Tauros), Yeah, so this didn't go as planned. I just got done with a BS Eusine battle in which his Drowzee's hypnosis had 100% accuracy and kept my pokes asleep for 8 turns at a time. It was that bad. So I was pretty ticked off. Then I ran into Chuck, who used a Full Heal when I put Poliwrath to sleep. Didn't see that coming. Then he proceeded to rape my pokes with an 80% accurate Dynamic Punch. Second try I paralyzed him with T-Wave instead, and he didn't use the Full Heal. Then he proceeded to miss every Dynamic Punch until I got him to 1HP, and Tauros got the kill. Cool. Jasmine-Pretty much the same levels. Drowzee took the Magnemites down, as planned, and then Quilava killed Steelix. I'm at 3:32. Not as good as I was hoping for, after seeing Lowen's score (seriously, that's utterly ridiculous. And plus, it shouldn't have taken 3x as long to find Heracross to beat the game. That's just messed up). Also, ran into an Entei. Threw a Lure Ball because I didn't really have anything else. It ran. Also ran into a Yanma. Not as rare, but I was pretty surprised. I'm just hoping for Pokerus or a shiny. Now I'm at Pryce, at 4:18. Stupid forced sidequests. Hoping to finish at ~6:00 Edited October 28, 2012 by Ring Wraith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Time 0:34 Bellsprouts are delicious, especially when I get Ember. Gotten the Birdbadge already. EDIT: “Small update” To Bugsy - 0.54 After evolving to Quilava, it could take everything in the gym. Totodile was beaten using lots of Potions and Smokescreen. To Whitney - 1.18 So it turns out I need a second Abra. I stick one in the daycare, and trade the other for Machop, who gains several levels in Whitney’s gym. Miltank again requires Super Potions and Smokescreen. To Morty - 1.43 Take out Abra and deposit Quilava, who is at lv 23 by now. Abra is trained to Kadabra and starts rocking, especially against the ghosts. Machop takes the enemies Kadabra can’t, like Sudo, Magnemite, and Umbreon. Afterwards, I detour to knock out Red Gyarados. To Chuck - 2.19 Cross the sea, Abra takes out Eusine and the gym. After going to the Lighthouse, Hoothoot flies us to Goldenrod to pick up Quilava, who only gained two levels :| To Pryce - 2.51 Quilava gets some levels in the Hideout, then takes the ice-types in Pryce’s gym. Kadabra takes the water-types. Machop To Jasmine - 2.56 Quilava has gotten Flame Wheel so this battle is quick. To Clair - 3.55 The rest of the rocket sidequest, Quilava evolves in the Radio Tower, then went to get Suicune. The sages love to talk. Suicune get. With a Rare Candy I picked up, Suicune gets Aurora Beam to kill dragons. Edited November 7, 2012 by Minor Baldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
