You better grind that Drillbur so hard that it's asshole has carpet burn.

Klazam: I really like Crobat; I used one in White 2 and it went really well. Plus, until like level 24 all Gastly has to attack is Lick and Night Shade, and I wanted some coverage.

Update 8! Even though I didn't have to do much grinding for this gym, I miss B/W/B2/W2 experience mechanics. It seemed a whole lot easier to go from 5 to 60 there then from like 5 to 20 here. :/

Yay for Parry evolving! Fearow is uglier than Spearow, but I still really appreciate Fearow...I'm weird.

Epic Fight: Chevre vs. Whitney!

Leader Whitney sent out CLEFAIRY!
Go Ian!
Ian used Brick Break!
It's super effective!
The foe's CLEFAIRY fainted!
Ian gained 247 Exp. Points!
Leader Whitney sent out MILTANK!
The enemy MILTANK used Stomp! (-13 HP)
Ian used Brick Break!
It's super effective!
The foe's MILTANK used Stomp! (-15 HP)
Ian flinched!
The foe's MILTANK used Stomp! (-13 HP)
Ian used Brick Break!
It's super effective!
The foe's MILTANK fainted!
Ian gained 813 Exp. Points!
Chevre defeated Gym Leader Whitney!

Yay for Ian!

I was going to burn some time by doing Pokeathlon so I could wait until "Thursday" to do the Bug Catching Contest, but I got bored. So that's all!

Update 9! Did the Bug Catching Contest, and the first thing I encountered was a Butterfree, which I luckily caught.

Next I went to take on the Sudowoodo blocking my way, and...disaster struck. I don't have much that's good against Rock in the first place, but for some reason I stupidly sent out Nelly, and a Rock Throw took her out. :( Heracross's Brick Break killed it (I would've caught it if possible and placed it in the "unusable" box). Brittany will be replacing Nelly.

Pretty short update but I wanted to do the Bug Catching Contest today, and I had to let you know of the death. I was really looking forward to a Crobat ;_;

Story:

I went to box Caesar. He wasn't doing me much good lately and i hoped to catch a good grass type in Pinwheel Forest, so any leveling would be wasted on him.

I then went back to Pinwheel Forest entrance and leveled up my team to level 20.

I was nervous, but I felt prepared for the Normal gym. I went there, with Teriyaki in front of my party. He waltzed through every trainer, dispatching them with ease while being untouched. Ah, time for the Leader battle.

Teriyaki (Lv. 21) V.S. Herdier (Lv. 18)

Teriyaki used Double Kick

Critical Hit, KO.

She sends out the Watchog I was dreading. BUT this time I have a trick up my sleeve.

Teriyaki (Lv. 21) V.S. Watchog (Lv. 20)

Watchog used Retaliate.

Sturdy leaves Teriyaki with 1 HP left.

Teryaki used COUNTER. BAM KO. Overkill?

Woohoo. Teriyaki is even better than I thought he would be.

Story stuff, blah blah, i go to Pinwheel Forest, go in the grass. YES a Cottonee. I love the battling style of that pokemon, so GRINDY, using status conditions instead of actual attacks.

Also, during my initial leveling up, McNugget learned Roost. Thats why i loved Pidoves in my prior nuzlockes. They did not die easily.

I go through the story stuff in the forest, halfway done. Levelled up Cottonee to level 20 too.

Party:

Image Bacon the Pignite (F) (Lv. 5-20)- Starter
Image Kung Pao the Herdier (M) (Lv. 6-21)- Route 2
Image McNugget the Pidove (F) (Lv. 9-20)- Route 3
Image Potato the Drilbur (M) (Lv. 10-21)- Wellspring Cave
Image Teriyaki the Sawk (M) (Lv. 12-22)- Pinwheel Forest Entrance
Image Cool Whip the Cottonee (F) (Lv. 15-20)- Pinwheel Forest

Boxed:

Image Caesar the Pansage (M) (Lv. 10-16)- Dreamyard Gift

Dead:

Image Red Bull the Patrat (M) (Lv. 3)- Route 1
Image Tuna the Purrlion (M) (Lv. 10)- Dreamyard

I've been doing a run on Sapphire using a Shedinja. Yeah. Ultimate Risk/Reward factor. I generally just use my Marshtomp, Mighteyena, Linoone, Sableye, Shedinja, and Kirlia as a team. Pretty tough, I actually replaced Linoone with a Skymory and Shed with a trapinch.

Edit: As of the fourth gym, I haven't lost anyone. It's not random, and I've always played Sapphire well, but I think that's an accomplishment.

I chose my starter for the third. Marshstomp is immune to electricity, as is shed. Brawly was GOING TO be difficult, until I caught a sableye lol. Any time he'd try to foresight, I'd switch to a tank.

The fourth was hard. Even with Marsh, I was having difficulty with the overheat. Potioned for support for a while. Skarm was worthless for that, as was Shed, and Ninjask. Linoone and Mightyeana have no real Sp. defense. Sableye and Marsh stomped the gym by themselves, basically. I haven't gotten to Norman. Looking at his stats, Shed can't fight because of Faint attack. Kirlia is probably void as well. Sableye is a good option, and Marsh is a must. Skarm is a great wall, but only has peck as an offensive option and swift as a SpA.

Sorry I haven't updated, lots of other things to do (if even those get done, lol. zzzz)

3rd gen is always really hard for me. Roxanne is pretty easy, but i've had troubles with every other gym leader in various playthroughs, only to be not so challenged by the Elite Four.

However, 3rd gen is my favorite for so many things. Pokemon (Skitty/Spheal/Absol), music (trumpets!) and just the region is the coolest IMO

My internal battery is dry, so I can't grind against trainers I've beaten.

On the bright side, Feebass squares do not change. Currently wondering how a Skarm, Tentacool, Grimer, Sableye, Marsh and Ninjask will do against Norman. I did manage to catch a swablu on my first time in the route before the bright dragon cave, so I could sing spam.

I am now going to start a community nuzlocke because I feel like I should make one, and because I cannot be motivated enough to do one otherwise.

My copy is of Pokemon Diamond. I grind fast and hard.

Rules:
1. Only the first pokemon.
2. If it faints, box+release.
3. Nicknames for bromance.
4. No repeats.
5. No items. Pickups only.
6. Every Pokemon must see play. What would you be like if I locked you up in a ball and didn't play with you?

If there's enough interest in it, I'll try to make this as much of a community effort as possible. But first off...

starter between chimchar/piplup/turtwig?

Realistically, Pimplup is the best starter. Good against the first gym, and you have a chance to get a Shinx/Murkrow/Kriketot all before the eterna gym. Third and fourth are interchangeable (Water/fight). Ghost gym can be beaten with any of the three mentioned, but Chimchar would be hard to do, since fighting would not work. Steel would be rough, but water is one of the few types that goes neutral to steel, and subtyping is generally rock or ground. Go to steel island, get the Rilou egg and train it up as you go for the 7th, so you have fighting supremacy on ice? Either that or you can try to get a rapidash, which is on the route underneath cycling road. If you have Empoleon at that point, you already have a 4x resistance to ice, and teach it stealth rock or something...

First name to have 2 seconds wins.

In the absence of any name getting 2 seconds, I'm totally calling it Cyndaquil.
