Okay then, what I'm doing wrong is playing the wrong generation.

Thanks. Moving on to the next project.

And the wrong game if you want Volt Tackle. It's only in Emerald and later games, unfortunately.

So, months and months ago, I decided to play Pokemon Emerald and try out a solo run. Which is when you play through the game using only one pokemon battle with, capturing others as HM slaves. Usually, these are done with really weak (which tend to be unevolved) pokemon, for the sake of the challenge. I did a couple before this, but decided to go all out this time. I chose to play with the statistically weakest pokemon in the game, Sunkern*. I found out that Emerald is really against grass-types, and it didn't help I was using the weakest one in the game.

* I ended up using AR cheats to capture one in the wild, as breeding one and trading it over with Grasswhistle (a sleeping move) felt cheap.

I ended up taking this run slow, as it got rather difficult. Run of the mill trainers, and even wild pokemon would be a serious threat to my Sunkern (repels were life savers). There were parts throughout the run I had to sit down and plan out how I was going to beat certain trainers, as one-shotting Sunkern was effortless to them. After doing this on and off for months, I finally beat the 8 gym leaders, and with nothing but a level 81 Sunkern, and a crap ton of items...

It didn't help that I couldn't defeat the champion with the tools I had, so I had to purposefully white out, go get what I needed, and go through the Elite 4 a second time. Fun, fun.

I wasn't done there, however. Once you beat the Elite 4 and champion, the champion from Ruby/Sapphire spawns in a cave, which you can go fight him. His levels are the highest in the game (outside Battle Frontier), and I figured the only way I could beat him is to raise my Sunkern up to level 100. So I ended up researching where to find Rare Candies, and fought pokemon to finally get to 100 so I could fight him. After tons, and tons, and tons of resets due to a slight mistake, miscalculation, and lucky crits...

I was so glad I was done. So what I ended up doing was something a person with an actual brain would've done long ago: evolve him.

I'm sorry but your escapades have just caused a meltdown of my brain. If I start spewing madness, it's because that's all I have left.

Throw him into Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. See if he still wins.

After that, toss him at HeartGold/SoulSilver. Again, test him against that which is there.

You are at stage 1 of 3 of achieving Ultimate Win. Your current status is 'DAMN!' The next one is 'Aw Hell Naw!' The final win will earn you the status 'Fuck This, Where's Reality?'

I'm pretty certain the final one would cause Hell to freeze over and awaken the Elder Gods from beyond the infinite.

You know, like beating IWBTG on Impossible.

Savage Thinking · 07-06-2010, 06:14 PM

Well, I could take him over to HeartGold, and see how he fares against the powered up Elite 4, then fight Red. For Platinum, it'd take awhile to set that up as I'd have to start a new file all over again. Or I could do a totally new run with a new Sunkern* in Platinum...

* And not let him learn Grasswhistle as he learns t naturally in 4th gen, and screw that, yo.

Also, I forgot mention, but most people try to make it easy on themselves by making their rival choose a starter that's weak against their solo pokemon (ie. choosing Squirtle for a Pidgey run). I, however, was having none of that! So I ended up choosing Treecko, which in the end made it way harder than it should have been.

Winning with Sunkern, that's pretty swell.
Might I suggest trying Luvdisc as well?
On an easier note, there's nothing quite the same
as owning Kanto and Hoenn in the Tentaquil game.
Yes, memes are annoying, but this one is surprisingly fun.
And it actually got a hack right on day one.

Dammit, I don't know what this... THING is, yet I'm now playing my pokemon game with one. Tempted to Nuzlocke it like someone else on FB was talking about doing, but I know better.

Nuzlocking with Tentaquil's easy as pie.
Use Surf and Puke Blood; watch everyone die.

Murphy damnit, the only thing wrong with having overpowered killing machines is when stuff like this happens.

Enigma stone/Soul dew/whatever the hell you're calling it/Latios/Latias download come this weekend.
