After a bit of training, and easy to clear story events, (Team aqua makes rocket look extremely diverse), I cleared the 7th gym leader. The battle was easy, if only I realized having vileplume lead was a bad idea against psychics. Another teammate was lost on mt pyre due to fun evasion hax as...

@doomvendingmachine I found out anorith gets protect at level 31, but that is pretty high for the fifth gym leader. Torkoal is nice because he gets a stat up move in curse as well. The drawback is that torkoal is pretty rare, especially compared with dustox and pelipper

Some notable changes have happened to my team as I beat the fifth and sixth gym leaders. My starter died from a critical hit from a random trainer. However Norman was defeated easily by my torkoal. Protect on slaking's attack turn, then curse the next. Then torkoal proceeded to +6 body slam...

Okay so I have defeated flannery. The farther I get into sapphire the more I think I could be destroying everything if I started with mudkip. Flannery managed to take out two of my guys, but my own torkoal managed to finish her torkoal off. My main advantage over Norman is gone now though...

Another update since I have beaten the third gym. The complete lack of being able to hit the magneton with anything other than not very effective attacks made things more interesting. Plusle locking the magneton into thunder wave several times with encore made things a little easier. It appears...

Another update on my sapphire challenge as I have beaten the second gym leader. It was again a matter of spamming super effective attacks, this time with dustox. A 4x resistance to gym leader's type didn't hurt I guess, but I still would have liked a sableye from granite cave. (I got an aron who...

Well I started my sapphire playthrough, and it wasn't a terrible start. I've gotten somewhat unlucky in the pokemon I've received. I already lost a team member due to stupidity, but I managed to beat the first gym leader. I wish I could say it was interesting but it went along like this: Bart...

Well I failed my heart gold nuzlocke a while ago, and got rather frustrated with the game. Now I decided to give this another shot on sapphire while I wait for black and white's release in US. The rules - You are only allowed 1 pokemon from each route including gift pokemon. (This eliminates...

Not quite a full update, I have arrived at indigo plateau. I didn't think that the kimono girls would be difficult, but that espeon got in a lucky critical psychic on tesla the magneton dealing over 50 percent damage killing tesla. R.I.P tesla, you will be difficult to replace. I caught ho-oh...

After a week of not being able to play HG and a lot of training before that I have finally defeated clair. I decided to bring savant into action when I realized that most of my team is weak to hydro pump or they are not good with taking hyper beams. Trained savant until he was a slowbro, then...

Victini's ability victory star seems like it would be overpowered if it raised all 5 stats upon a KO, though it is a possibility. I would guess it will be a special attack variation of earthquake spiral (The ability that the sand crocodile has). Though it could also be different than any ability...

I have defeated pryce with only one more loss. Night the venonat died to a critical hit, taking him down from 90% health. I lose out on tinted lens venomoth which isn't the worst thing that happened to me. I was hoping for a koffing from team rocket hq, but ended up with a voltorb. I named him...

Well I have defeated Jasmine. Easily the easiest johto gym leader. To save lavos from an electrabuzz I switched out to venus, only to have magmar barbecue Venus with a flamethrower. I hate that double battle, my team is too weak to fire and electric. Lavos subsequently died to a wild fearow...

Another update on my HG run, I have defeated chuck, at no small cost to my party. Regent wore down the primeape but then fell to a critical hit focus punch. The last hit activated poison point and since regent took all the rock slides, walled the focus punches. A combo of savant para and croco...

Thanks sprocket. I looked up chuck's movesets and I think I might be able to handle chuck with savant unless I get unlucky. Regent also might be a defensive powerhouse again. I also got a tauros that I think will come in handy in general. I might end up raising more than 6 pokemon.

Hey another update on my HG playthrough. I have defeated morty and he was the easiest gym leader so far. I caught a pidgey and it turned out to be quite useful when it evolved. I missed out on a koffing at burnt tower but I haven't lost a pokemon since the last gym leader. I have to be careful...

I regarded the eggs from primo as gift pokemon and allowed myself one of the eggs. I choose slugma because I didn't choose cyndaquil. Gift pokemon I'm not counting for as the one for the route. for the game corner one pokemon doesn't seem to make the challenge too easy. Especially when that...

@Texas Cloverleaf I got the slugma from primo by entering the secret words which vary from game to game depending on your ID I believe. I also got the ho-oh background for the cryo box and the lugia background for my dead box. I decided as for gift pokemon go I can have 1 of each one, as in...

More on my HG run. I have just defeated whitney. Deaths have shot up due to wild pokemon getting criticals on my pokemon. Is anyone else having this problem or am I just an idiot? In anycase I defeated Whitney and her stupid cow without losing anyone To sum it up: Trainer Locke In party Croco...
