The Official FR/LG Recent Happenings Thread - Fresh Edition

[XD Mewtwo]

I was checking my old GBA pokemon games when I found out I started several new games and I don't remember doing it.
This will somewhat distract me til I get HG from Gamestop, or SS in the mail (Curse you Walmart!)
I so far in Firered have a bit of tough challenge, I'am only using Blastoise and Nidoking, they are both level 41. I'am currently in the Team Rocket hideout.

[Meg Is Hoenn's Champ]

I just started a new game on Leaf Green, I've choosen Bulbasaur for my starter since I've always had a weak spot for grass type Pokemon. Have raised Bulbasaur to level 10.
And that is pretty much all I've done for today, seeing as I'm also playing Pokemon Pearl on my precious DS.

[Ciccone]

Just arrived in the Sevii Islands on my FireRed that I bought in a yardsale. It was used but at least I started at a good point. I'm especially glad I got there since I need several Pokemon for my National Dex in other games. I arrived on Four Island and I healed my team since I knew I had to head over to Icefall Cave to beat up Team Rocket and help Lorelei. I went through and encounter my first Johto Pokemon, a Swinub. Caught it planning to train it or leave it at the Daycare Center on the island. Got to the final chamber with Team Rocket cornering Lorelei. I fought one at a time and gained enough experience to level-up my Charizard, Lapras, and Scyther. After that was settled I trained in the cave and healed at the PC again.

My team at the end of the "mission" looked as follows:
-Charizard lv 75
-Lapras lv 45
-Scyther 53
-Raichu lv 56
-Vileplume lv 63

[Dark_Afa]

Defeated elite four, now training the hitmonchan I got from the dojo in Saffron city, he's good for breeding

[MyNameIsMark]

Just killed the Elite Four.

Charizard- lvl 63
Vileplume- lvl 58
Lapras- lvl 60
Aerodactyl- lvl 60
Kadabra- lvl 59

Gonna catch 60 pokemon (got 17 right now) so i can get the national dex and eventually trade my kadraba to evolve into an Alakazam

[Aurora Valor]

So, I've been wanting to do a monotype for a while, and I decided to restart Fire Red and go for my first monotype playthrough. I started my monotype career with an easy type, Water, and I just beat Blaine and caught Moltres. Next up is rescuing Lostelle, then capturing Articuno and Zapdos, to whom I am not looking forward, and then sweeping Giovanni's stupid Ground types. My team is all fully evolved, and currently looks like this:

Lapras (M) Lv. 40
Brave Nature, Trait: Shell Armor.
- Surf
- Body Slam
- Ice Beam
- Psychic
To be honest, Lapras has disappointed me so far, suffering a lot from rather bad attacks and especially sucking when hit by something like Thunder Wave. I just hope he'll do better soon, 'cause he'll be important against the Elite Four.

Omastar (M) Lv. 40
Calm Nature, Trait: Shell Armor.
- Mud Shot
- Spike Cannon
- Surf
- Bite
Even as an Omanyte, this guy was kicking Rocket butt. Although he had to be trained from level 5, he's been doing very well and I really like him so far. I think he might just become a powerhouse when I get something better than Spike Cannon. He didn't get as much playtime after his evolution though, which is bad.

Blastoise (M) Lv. 44
Quiet Nature, Trait: Torrent.
- Mega Punch
- Bite
- Surf
- Water Gun (LOLZ)
My starter, who can always be switched in against anything. Before I had Omastar, he was my Electrode counter, with those things hitting my other Pokemon hard with Spark and Blastoise being the only one that could actually take a few hits. I really do need something better than Water Gun. I was thinking about Earthquake, but I'm not sure yet.

Gyarados (F) Lv. 44
Adamant Nature, Trait: Intimidate.
- Hydro Pump
- Surf
- Bite
- Strength
This girl has been saving my *** even as a Magikarp, where she knocked off Gary's Bulbasaur's last HP in Cerulean 'cause Wartortle was knocked out. She's definitely my toughest nut to crack, and will definitely some in handy against the Elite Four.

Vaporeon (M) Lv. 44
Jolly Nature, Trait: Water Absorb.
- Bite
- Secret Power
- Surf
- Aurora Beam
The team's wall that hardly anything can break through. An insane amount of HP and the ability to withstand a whole lot of attacks make this thing a very strong member of my team. He was hard to train until I got Surf, for I used my Water Pulse TM on Gyarados, but once I got that, he proved his worth.

Poliwrath (F) Lv. 44
Bashful Nature, Trait: Water Absorb.
- Hypnosis
- Brick Break
- Surf
- Rain Dance
Its training started out slowly, with it dying all the time, but keeping my patience in him really paid off as he is a strong Pokemon in both offense and defence. Hypnosis' accuracy is crap though, so I'll be getting rid of that.

[Ciccone]

Finished training on Four Island and since I had extra time I went to Five Island to train and and find items and such. I also need some Pokemon that are exclusive to that island. I went to the Pokemon Center first to deposit Charizard since it needs to the least amount of battle experience and I need an empty slot (my fifth slot has a Mudkip I'm raising with EXP Share). Went to the Water Labyrinth and got my Togepi Egg from the traveling man on one of the islands. Made it north to the Resort and battled Painters and other trainers enough to the point where my Raichu and Scyther both gained enought experiece to level up! Went to the Lost Cave and using a map I went to find Selphy inside. Caught a Haunter while I was at it, fought a Psychic and returned Selphy to her Resort. My team was as follows:

-Lapras lv 49
-Scyther 56
-Raichu lv 58
-Vileplume lv 67
-Mudkip lv 19
-Egg

[ShinyFufu]

I got up to 4643 encounters for Growlithe. However, I'm scared that I'll find a different shiny, so I've decided to resume my Paras hunt. I'm currently at around 20,300 encounters. Every 1,000 encounters for Paras, I'll switch to fishing for shiny Shellder. After 500 fishings, I will switch back to Paras, and the cycle will start over.

Wish me luck you guys!

[Ciccone]

Did some more training in the game since my last update and my party is looking more and more solid and balanced. I hatched the Togepi Egg in Vermilion city and Togepi has since evolved into a Togetic via Happiness though it took several vitamins for that to happen. I continued with the main quest and went south of Five Island to fight the Birdkeepers around that area to gain more experience. I made it to the Memorial Pillar and left the Lemonade on the rock which made Tectonix's trainer happy and he gave an item I have yet to use. I then went to Six Island since I wanted to train more and unlock the Dotted Hole. I beat the trainers in the area, most of which used Rock Pokemon so Vileplume and Lapras shined, and I caught a Yanma before getting to the Dotted Hole. I solved the puzzle and just when I was about to get the Sapphire, a Scientist arrived and took it! Now I have to go to Five Island and break into Team Rocket's new warehouse to get it back from that guy. I decided to train in the Green Path before setting off. My team looks as follows:

-Lapras lv 55
-Scyther 59
-Raichu lv 62
-Vileplume lv 69
-Marshtomp lv 27
-Togetic lv 32
