Twitch Plays Pokémon - The Gauntlet - Crystal

The live updater will not be running during Gauntlet Emerald, but will return for Gauntlet Platinum

This decision was hard to make, and required lots of thought and consultation with the Live Updater team. Due to reduced activity for updating Gauntlet Crystal compared to Gauntlet Red, the goal is to rest up during Emerald so we can come back strong during Gauntlet Platinum. StreamFeed will still be running during this run.

  • We defeated our Rival aaiiiaa at Mt. Moon.
  • Entei reached Lv. 61 and we taught it Swagger over Fire Blast. We can potentially relearn Fire Blast at Lv. 71.
  • We visited the Viridian Trainer House and encountered our Trainer from Burning Red, Kay!...or, as his name was displayed, Cal. He also only appeared to have three Pokémon, but we still blacked out to him, meaning he's still there waiting for us.

5d 15h 29m We send out Politoed again. Bruno uses a Max Potion as we Surf.

5d 15h 28m We switch back to Ursaring and use Strength; Machamp clutches and uses Cross Chop. Ursaring faints!

5d 15h 28m We start using Surf; Hitmonchan survives with a little HP and uses Thunderpunch, forgetting that there's no Physical/Special split yet. Another Surf takes it down. Up next is Machamp.

5d 15h 27m Next up is Hitmonlee, which we take down with Fury Swipes. As Hitmonchan is sent out we switch to Politoed.

[Info] During our Bruno search, we also turned on Switch mode.

5d 15h 25m We open by throwing a ball, which doesn't give us much luck. Hitmontop uses Dig, allowing us to get onto Strength, and hits us for a little damage before fainting. Ursaring reaches Lv. 58!

5d 15h 25m After trying very hard, we finally locate our next opponent. Vs. Bruno! Attempt #16; Ursaring vs. Hitmontop.

5d 15h 24m In all our wandering, Entei faints from poison.

5d 15h 21m We pace back in forth in Bruno's room, nearly falling into the lava. We make a quick save.

5d 15h 16m Next up is Crobat. We land Fire Blast and Crobat reaches low health, but is burned. It hits us with Wing Attack and then falls to that burn. Defeated Koga!

5d 15h 16m We switch to Fire Blast and Muk goes down.

[Meta] ...pretend I bolded that. Here: Defeated Will!

5d 15h 6m Will uses a Max Potion, but his greed is unrewarded as a Waterfall takes Xatu down. Defeated Will!

5d 15h 5m We look through our bag for good luck, then use Waterfall against the remaining Xatu. It clutches and uses Psychic.

5d 15h 4m Slowbro tries out Curse. Another Waterfall puts it in the red; Psychic puts us to half health. After one more Waterfall, Slowbro faints.

5d 15h 4m Will sends out Slowbro. We use Waterfall as it uses Amnesia.

5d 15h 3m Exeggutor really loves Psychic. A few Waterfalls later, though, and it's down. Meganium reaches Lv. 52!

5d 15h 2m We switch out to Rocky and take another Psychic...and we switch out to Politoed.

5d 15h 1m We start using Razor Leaf...it's not very effective, although we do get a crit. The eggs keep spamming Psychic.

5d 15h 1m We switch out to Meganium. Exeggutor uses Psychic.

5d 15h 0m Jynx is sent out. Slash is a OHKO. Next up: Exeggutor.

5d 15h 0m We immediately try to use a berry on Ursaring, but it doesn't seem to work. We switch to slash, and with a crit Xatu faints.

5d 15h 0m Vs. Will! Xatu vs. Ursaring.

5d 14h 59m E4 Attempt #21 begins!

5d 14h 58m We emerge onto Route 23 and make our way into Indigo Plateau.

5d 13h 53m After a miss, we take down Starmie with Iron Tail.

5d 13h 51m Another Starmie is sent out. We switch into Rocky. Starmie hits it with another Bubblebeam.

5d 13h 51m Flamethrower almost takes care of Starmie, but Starmie gets a crit Bubblebeam, putting us at half health. Another Flamethrower finishes it.

5d 13h 50m Cooltrainer Reena challenges us to a rematch! She sends out Starmie against Entei.

5d 13h 50m We use an HP Up on Entei.

[Snark] Can you help us fix the party order, Monica? Please?

5d 13h 41m We read a book someone left open on the table...It's by one of the week siblings. They say their ideology is to help Pokémon trainers.

5d 13h 37m In a different house on Route 26. They have a TV, too.

5d 13h 25m It's a TV.

5d 13h 21m Currently running around inside the house.

5d 13h 13m Healed again.

5d 13h 9m Moved Entei to the start of the party. Entei reaches Lv. 52!

5d 12h 54m We approach Victory Road, then hop about ten ledges.

5d 12h 47m We heal again.

[Info] Since the last update, our team has gained a lot of levels, and Entei learned Flamethrower over Ember. We also dropped by the Name Rater and renamed Entei to BBBBLLlrk, and picked up a few cool items like TM48 Fire Punch, TM18 Rain Dance, and a bunch of Poké Balls. We're currently leaving Victory Road on our way to the rest house on Route 26.

[Meta] Updater's going dark for now. Be sure to follow all the action with our StreamFeed bot in the discord server, channel #stream-feed

5d 1h 10m We head to Route 29. Looks like we're headed for somewhere distant but due to the lack of flying mons and no PC in New Bark Town, we're walking through low level routes, just casually OHKOing level 2 sentret with earthquake

5d 1h 6m We talk to the Abra Man in Indigo Plateau but reject his services. We talk to him again and teleport to New Bark Town. We go say hi to Mom

5d 1h 5m Aerodactyl's hyper beam leaves politoed at 1 HP as the frog's surf takes out the aerodactyl. Lance's next mon is dragonite. Politoed surfs again, doing a bit of damage as dragonite's thunder finishes politoed! Wiped out! RIP champion attempt #4

5d 1h 3m Ursaring wastes the free recharge turn by missing an attack. We try stealing this aerodactyl but Lance stops us. Lance then punishes us by taking out ursaring with aerodactyl's hyper beam. We send in our final mon, politoed, who misses whirlpool

5d 1h 2m Ursaring gets sent in. Aerodactyl's ancientpower puts the bear into yellow health as ursaring's fury swipes does minor damage. Aerodactyl uses hyper beam, leaving ursaring with 27 HP, as fury swipes continues doing scratch damage

5d 1h 1m We send in machamp next. Cross chop misses as does dragonite's hyper beam. Machamp's strength puts dragonite on yellow as hyper beam leaves machamp with 1 HP. A second strength and dragonite goes down. Machamp grows to level 54! Aerodactyl up next, who takes out machamp with wing attack!

5d 1h 0m A final body slam and gyarados goes down. Meganium is now level 50! Lance sends out the first of his dragonites, who paralyses meganium with thunderwave then takes out meganium with blizzard!

5d 0h 59m We enter the champion's chamber. Versus Champion Lance, attempt #4! We lead with meganium, who uses 2 body slams and a poison powder, while Lance uses gyarados with rain dance and hyper beam

5d 0h 56m Gengar takes the last of strength's PP. It's too much and gengar uses a second curse, taking herself out. Karen sends in murkrow who goes down to a single slash. Karen's final mon is houndoom, whose flamethrower puts ursaring at just above half health. Slash takes out houndoom, Ursaring grows to level 54! Elite Four Karen defeated!

[Fluff] I don't think gengar can hit us. I'm unsure but I think gengar's only attacking move is lick, which cannot hit normal types

5d 0h 53m Gengar keeps spiting us. Cut continues to do nothing. Another destiny bond and gengar switches back to destiny bond

5d 0h 52m Gengar spites ursaring, reducing some PP. Our attempts to switch to an actually-usable mon continue to fail

5d 0h 51m We switch out to ursaring, who also cannot hit gengar. Gengar uses destiny bond to troll us

5d 0h 50m Gengar gets bored of waiting for us to attack and uses curse, knocking half her health out to lay a curse on machamp

5d 0h 49m We decide to teach machamp dynamic punch midbattle, but it doesn't seem to be working. We realise that machamp cannot hit gengar so try switching in steelix and entei, but they're both fainted

5d 0h 48m Vileplume continues using petal dance as machamp takes vileplume to the red with vital throw. Machamp finishes off vileplume with karate chop. Karen sends out gengar next, who licks machamp

[Snark] Phew, those 33 HP we restored with the full restore are really going to matter!

5d 0h 46m We heal machamp with a max potion then a full restore! Vileplume continues using petal dance

5d 0h 45m Machamp's cross chop fails and Umbreon's faint attack still does minor damage. Umbreon switches to confuse ray and machamp knocks himself down to yellow health. Umbreon continues the faint attacks as machamp's confusion wears off after 1 turn and he uses vital throw, taking out Umbreon. Vileplume up next for Karen, and the plant paralyses machamp with stun spore. Machamp still uses vital throw for major damage against vileplume as vileplume starts petal dancing. We use a max revive on meganium!

5d 0h 41m Machamp starts off with strength. Umbreon's faint attack does little damage

5d 0h 39m We enter the next room. Versus Elite Four Karen, attempt #7! We send in machamp as she leads with Umbreon

5d 0h 36m A final surf and machamp goes down. Bruno's final mon is onix. Politoed switches to whirlpool to OHKO onix. Elite Four Bruno defeated!

5d 0h 35m Politoed uses surf, taking out hitmonlee. Bruno sends out machamp next as politoed uses another surf to put machamp to yellow. Machamp's cross chop puts politoed into yellow. Bruno uses a max potion on machamp as politoed's surf undoes the healing

5d 0h 32m Hitmonlee's double kick does minor damage as politoed's attacks miss. More infatuation leads to more stalled turns

5d 0h 31m We send in machamp next then switch to politoed. Hitmonlee's swagger confuses politoed, but the frog sees through the confusion to use attract and infatuate hitmonlee. Politoed's confusion wears off as she tries to use attract again. Hitmonlee's hi jump kick does minor damage then misses a turn due to infatuation

5d 0h 27m Meganium's body slam paralyses hitmonlee. Hitmonlee skips a turn due to being fully paralysed. A second body slam puts hitmonlee into the yellow, as hitmonlee's hi jump kick takes out meganium!

5d 0h 25m A final body slam and hitmonchan goes down. Next up is hitmonlee

5d 0h 24m Meganium's body slam puts hitmonchan into the yellow. Hitmonchan's fire punch puts meganium into the yellow

5d 0h 20m Meganium uses body slam as hitmonchan uses fire punch, burning meganium

5d 0h 19m After a third razor leaf, hitmontop goes down. Bruno sends out hitmonchan next

5d 0h 17m Hitmontop starts with a weak quick attack as meganium uses razor leaf. Hitmontop is in the yellow while meganium is still healthy

5d 0h 15m We talk to Bruno. Versus Elite Four Bruno, attempt #9! We send in meganium as he sends in hitmontop

5d 0h 14m We move onto the next room, which is filled with bubbling pasta sauce...what do you mean, that's not pasta sauce?

5d 0h 13m We send in machamp, whose karate chop does minimal damage. Lucky crobat's next move is a missed toxic and the next karate chop finishes the job. Machamp grows to level 53! Elite Four Koga defeated!

5d 0h 11m Entei barely hangs on to attempt a roar, which fails as this is Koga's last mon. Crobat uses quick attack, taking out entei!

5d 0h 9m Entei's ember takes venomoth to yellow, as the moth misses a supersonic. A second ember and venomoth goes down. Koga sends crobat back out as entei continues using embers. Crobat sets up double teams again, but ember keeps hitting, slowly whittling down crobat's health. Crobat's wing attack puts entei into yellow health, then red health

5d 0h 8m Koga heals crobat with a full heal as entei negates the evasion boost with a roar, dismissing crobat and bringing out venomoth

5d 0h 7m The next fire blast lands, taking out muk. Koga sends in his crobat next. Entei uses a final fire blast, putting crobat at yellow health, as the bat raises evasion with double team.

5d 0h 6m Entei switches to fire blast, OHKOing forretress. Entei grows to level 47! Koga's next mon is muk, and entei continues with the fire blasts, putting muk at half health and burning the pile of sludge. Muk uses minimise to raise evasion, and fire blast misses as muk uses sludge bomb for minor damage

5d 0h 4m We enter Koga's room and talk to the ninja master. Versus Elite Four Koga, attempt #10! He leads with ariados and we send in entei. Entei's ember puts ariados into the red as the spider raises evasion with double team. Ember still hits, taking out ariados. Koga's next mon is Forretress

5d 0h 2m We change the party order a bit. Entei is now in second and will face Koga

5d 0h 0m We send in entei. Entei's ember takes jynx to half health, while psychic takes a third of entei's health. A second ember and jynx falls. Elite Four Will defeated!

4d 23h 59m Will's final mon is jynx. Jynx's ice punch takes out steelix!

4d 23h 59m Slowbro is put into yellow by crunch then uses curse to set up. Too bad it's a wasted move as a second crunch takes out slowbro. Will sends in his second xatu, who uses psychic and barely survives a crunch. Will cheats heals with a max potion and xatu is put back into the red with another crunch. Another psychic and steelix is put into the red. Steelix switches to strength to take out the xatu

4d 23h 57m Steelix finally sees through the confusion to use crunch. Xatu barely hangs on as another psychic puts steelix into the yellow. Steelix sees through another confusion to use a final crunch and take out the xatu. Will's next mon is exeggcutor, who is put into red by a single crunch. Exeggcutor sets up a reflect then goes down to a second crunch. Steelix grows to level 57! Will's next mon is slowbro.

4d 23h 55m Will sends in Xatu and we lead with Rocky the steelix. Xatu starts off with an ineffective psychic and steelix uses earthquake, which does nothing. Xatu then confuses our steel snake, who hits himself in confusion. Xatu switches back to weak psychics as steelix continues the self harm

4d 23h 54m We enter the Elite Four for the fourtheenth attempt. We talk to Will. Versus Elite Four Will, attempt #14!

4d 23h 53m We nearly teleport home but decide against it. We'd much rather take on another E4 challenge

4d 23h 52m Outside Indigo Plateau now

4d 23h 52m We send in our wounded machamp. Charizard takes out machamp with flamethrower! Blacked out! RIP attempt #3 at Lance

4d 23h 50m We're currently facing off against Champion Lance! So far his gyarados and 2 dragonite are down. He's sent out aerodactyl and we've sent out ursaring. Ursaring barely hangs on from a hyper beam to take out areodactyl as Lance sends in charizard, who uses flamethrower and takes out ursaring!

4d 22h 19m We just beat Karen! On attempt #4.

[Info] Entei just died to Forretress.

[Meta] Updater going dark. Be sure to use the Discord's #stream-feed if you need to know what's going on.

4d 21h 35m We wake up outside to our phone ringing. It's Picnicker Liz, but it turns out she just hd the wrong number.

4d 21h 35m Yeah, no. Petal Dance is too much for our frog. WHITED OUT!

4d 21h 34m Umbreon is down! Vileplume up next.

4d 21h 33m Vs. Elite Four Karen, attempt #3! Go Politoed go!

[Info] We're left with just Politoed for Karen. Let's see if she can work a miracle here...

4d 21h 31m Just one more attack from Politoed is all we needed for another victory against Bruno!

4d 21h 30m Bruno's Machamp was taken down to critical health, however, and Politoed finishes it off.

4d 21h 28m The battle proceeds much like the last ones at first, with Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan down in one shot each, but this time we switch to Strength early against Bruno's Machamp, and we're punished with multiple Cross Chop hits! Machamp is down!

4d 21h 26m Meganium is down in a couple turns! We send out Machamp to do his usual work. A KO against Hitmontop brings Machamp to level 51!

4d 21h 25m Vs. Elite Four Bruno! Attempt #5! We send out a quite ragged-looking Meganium against his Hitmontop.

4d 21h 23m Crobat is out next, and uses Double Team first as usual. Meganium is able to see through the illusions, though, and takes it out for a win against Koga! Meganium grows to level 47 in the process!

4d 21h 22m Fury Cutter continues to do little to Venomoth, who stacks confusion and toxic poison on Meganium. We finally opt for Body Slam and take out all of the rest of Venomoth's health in one blow.

4d 21h 20m We send out Meganium. His Fury Cutter does little to Venomoth.

4d 21h 19m We Roar Crobat away, not wanting to deal with its stall tactics. Venomoth is forced out, but it takes little damage before KOing Entei.

4d 21h 17m Entei is poisoned! Muk faints to the next Fire Blast, but the damage starts to build... Crobat is out next. Double Team lets the bat easily dodge Entei's last Fire Blast.

4d 21h 16m Fire Blast fares better than Ember this time, taking out Ariados and Forretress in one hit each. Muk is up next, and doesn't die so easily.

4d 21h 15m Vs. Elite Four Koga! Attempt #6! We send out Entei again.

4d 21h 14m We send out Entei, and takes out Jynx with Ember. Defeated Will!

4d 21h 12m Ursaring is down!

4d 21h 10m Will uses a Max Potion, but it doesn't matter since Ursaring OHKOs with Slash. Jynx is out last, and puts Ursaring to sleep and goes to town on him! Ursaring refuses to wake up!

4d 21h 9m We do finally KO Slowbro. Xatu is out next, and doesn't quite KO Steelix with Psychic, letting us take it to low health before Steelix faints to Leech Seed. We send out a bear.

4d 21h 8m Slowbro causes a bother by setting up Amnesia, halving Crunch's damage and letting Leech Seed do its work.

4d 21h 7m Crunch takes out Xatu, and Exeggutor falls too, after planting Leech Seed on us. Slowbro is out next.

4d 21h 6m We switch out to Steelix.

4d 21h 4m Vs. Elite Four Will! We send Entei out against Xatu.

4d 21h 3m Back in the building for attempt #10!

4d 20h 59m We are utterly helpless thanks to having only Normal- and Fighting-type moves. Karen toys with use by using Curse and Spite instead of just KOing quickly. We do eventually fall. WHITED OUT!

4d 20h 58m Machamp finishes off Vileplume. We're in uncharted territory now....... Oh right, she has a Gengar. How unfortunate.

4d 20h 56m Vileplume is out next. Politoed actually manages to survive a Petal Dance and take it to 1/3 health before going down! Politoed faints next turn though. All our hopes ride on Machamp.

[Correction] Er, Whirlpool

4d 20h 55m Waterfall still doesn't actually outright kill thanks to Umbreon's immense bulk, but infatuation keeps it from getting another chance and it faints to the swirling vortex.

4d 20h 53m Umbreon confuses Politoed, but we somehow manage to fumble a Full Heal out of our bag just at the right moment to bring her back to her senses. We then use Attract while Umbreon sits at about 5% HP.

4d 20h 52m And now, Vs. Elite Four Karen, attempt #2! We send out Politoed against her Umbreon.

[Info] For the record, this is attempt #9 at the Elite Four, with attempt #5 against Koga and attempt #4 against Bruno.

4d 20h 50m Onix deals small damage to Machamp, then whips up a pointless Sandstorm before fainting. Defeated Bruno!

4d 20h 48m We're out of Cross Chop PP, but a couple Strength hits take out Bruno's Machamp after he uses a Max Potion. Onix is out last.

4d 20h 47m Machamp misses a Cross Chop, but the next hits true and delivers another OHKO. Bruno's Machamp is up next, and survives a Chop, missing its own attack.

4d 20h 46m We send out Machamp in hopes of powering through again. Hitmontop and Hitmonlee fall to one hit each, and Machamp grows to level 50!

4d 20h 45m Vs. Elite Four Bruno! We send out Meganium against his Hitmontop, but he's not looking so good... a single Quick Attack knocks out Meganium.

4d 20h 43m We send out Politoed. She avoids getting poisoned and lands a couple Waterfalls to bring Crobat tumbling down! Beat Koga!

4d 20h 41m Crobat stacks up evasion boosts and then badly poisons Ursaring! We can't seem to land a single hit! Ursaring down!

4d 20h 40m Venomoth is easily taken out by Slash. Crobat is out last.

4d 20h 39m Ursaring deals with Muk. Ursaring to level 51!

4d 20h 38m Entei faints to Sludge Bomb. We send out Ursaring next.

4d 20h 36m Forretress is out again and... actually takes only less than half damage from Fire Spin somehow. And then it Protect stalls its own residual damage. What a battle. Ember takes it out finally, and Muk is sent out next.

4d 20h 35m We can't seem to hit Forretress, so we Roar it out, clearing the evasion boost. Crobat is forced out, and tries similar strats but we just blast it away as well. Ariados is back out and we burn it away.

4d 20h 32m Ember doesn't quite cook the spider in one shot. Ariados suddenly Baton Passes out, carrying a Double Team boost to... Forretress.

4d 20h 31m Vs. Elite Four Koga! We send out Entei against his Ariados this time.

4d 20h 28m We send out Meganium, and take... actually less than half damage from an Ice Punch. How about that. Avoiding the 2HKO, we take out Jynx for a victory against Will!

4d 20h 26m Xatu 2 is out next. Steelix survives a Psychic with 2 HP and dishes out a critical hit to knock Xatu out! What a clutch! Jynx comes out and finishes Steelix off though.

4d 20h 25m Exeggutor comes out and plants some Leech Seed before we Crunch it away too. Slowbro is out next, and avoids being 2HKO'd because of the Leech Seed's health drain. It just Curses with its extra turn though, and falls to another Crunch.

4d 20h 24m We make a couple switches and end up having Steelix out. A couple Crunches take Xatu out. Steelix to level 52!

4d 20h 20m We step right back inside. Vs. Elite Four Will!

4d 20h 17m Hitmonchan is out next. Steelix is knocked out and we're left with just Ursaring. The big bear puts up a wonderful fight, taking out Hitmonchan, but then Bruno's Machamp's Cross Chop takes him out. WHITED OUT!

4d 20h 16m Hitmonlee wails on Steelix much more effectively, avoiding an Iron Tail, but a second swing of Steelix's tail demolishes Hitmonlee in one hit!

4d 20h 14m Vs. Bruno! We send out the first of our two Fighting-weak Pokémon, Steelix, against his Hitmontop. Hitmontop foolishly Digs down into the ground and is shaken to bits with Earthquake! Hitmonlee out next.

4d 20h 13m Muk is pummeled away. Defeated Koga, taking very little damage in the process!

4d 20h 12m Steelix zeroes in and brings Crobat down with Strength. Steelix grows to level 51!

4d 20h 10m Crobat hovers far above Earthquake and produces its confusing afterimages with Double Team.

4d 20h 8m Venomoth surprisingly barely lives one Earthquake, but falls to the next. Crobat is out next.

4d 20h 6m Ariados is down in one Earthquake. Forretress is out next, and tanks decently, setting out a layer of Spikes and dealing... 4 damage to Steelix before fainting.

4d 20h 6m Vs. Elite Four Koga! We've got Steelix out agains Ariados.

4d 20h 4m We send out our bear and finish off Slowbro. Will defeated! We're already down to 2 Pokémon though.

4d 20h 3m Politoed faints.

4d 20h 2m We knocked out Xatu after about 10 turns. Slowbro is out now.

4d 19h 58m We send Politoed back out and throw more balls. What a great effort we're making here.

4d 19h 56m We send out Politoed, but then change our minds and go for an extremely strategic switch to Machamp. Shockingly, Machamp is down in one hit.

4d 19h 55m Xatu is sent out, and we break the Fury Cutter chain with a rather ineffective Razor Leaf. Meganium gets knocked out!

4d 19h 53m Meganium grows to level 46 from finishing off Xatu! Jynx is out next. Lovely Kiss thankfully misses, and we gain momentum with Fury Cutter, taking out Jynx and Exeggutor next.

4d 19h 52m We send out Meganium and throw another ball.

4d 19h 51m We pick Fire Blast after a couple turns. Xatu isn't quite taken out. Repeated Psychics take out Entei!

4d 19h 50m We try to catch Xatu, apparently getting confused from the future by the Confuse Ray it uses next.

4d 19h 48m Vs. Elite Four Will! Entei vs. Xatu again.

4d 19h 47m Locked ourselves into fighting the Elite Four again!

4d 19h 47m We give Entei a Great Ball to hold, for good luck.

[Chat] There's a tug-of-war going on of deciding whether to fight the E4 again or take the Abra man's Teleport to go visit Joey.

4d 19h 42m Checking out the top floor of Indigo Plateau.

4d 19h 40m Joey gives us a call. He's as excited about his rat as ever.

4d 19h 39m We try to hit the Murkrow Karen sends out with Earthquake, but it just hovers above it. Crunch works out poorly as well. Steelix is knocked out! WHITED OUT!

4d 19h 38m Vilplume is finished off. Steelix grows to level 50!

4d 19h 37m Machamp lives a Petal Dance on 1 HP!... But Vilplume also survives our return attack with a single pixel left. Machamp is down on the next hit. We only have Steelix left.

4d 19h 36m Her Umbreon is down in one supereffective hit. She sends out Vileplume to resist our Fighting attacks. This seems like cheating.

4d 19h 35m Karen laughs at our name before accepting the challenge. Vs. Elite Four Karen, attempt #1!

4d 19h 34m Well, whatever. We advance to Karen's chamber with just 2 heavily weakened Pokémon to our name.

4d 19h 34m We take a victory lap round Bruno's heated chamber. Why is it filled with lava anyway?

4d 19h 32m More Karate Chops knock that snake out! Finally defeated Elite Four Bruno! In a clean sweep no less!

4d 19h 31m Bruno uses a Max Potion, allowing his Machamp to take ours to about 1/3 HP before falling to repeated Karate Chops! Onix is out last!

4d 19h 30m Bruno's own Machamp is up next, and its bulging muscles are able to withstand a Cross Chop, but our bodybuilder dodges the return attack!

4d 19h 29m It's a battle of pure muscle, Machamp vs. Hitmontop. Our Cross Chop comes out first in Hitmontop is down in one hit. Bruno sends out Hitmonlee, but another single Cross Chop takes it out as well! Hitmonchan follows suit faster than I can type!

4d 19h 28m Vs. Elite Four Bruno! Hoo Hah!

4d 19h 28m We enter Bruno's chambers, but have a little trouble finding him, so we fiddle with the settings instead.

[Info] Steelix was whittled down to just under half health, even though each Wing Attack was doing barely noticeable damage.

4d 19h 26m Iron Tail misses again and again and again, but we finally switch to Strength to deal a finishing blow. Koga is down!

4d 19h 25m We send out Steelix, who misses several hits but doesn't mind too much thanks to his tough hide letting him shrug off Crobat's attacks. The damage slowly starts to stack up though...

4d 19h 24m Crobat barely survives an attack, and Koga heals it back to full with a Full Restore, the darn cheater! Ursaring is unable to land another hit. Ursaring faints!

4d 19h 22m Forretress initially starts to stall us out with Protect for poison damage, but then forgets the strategy and is down to a couple Surfs. Crobat is out, and a Double causes us to miss. Politoed can't take the poison damage anymore and goes down!

4d 19h 21m We finally wash the Muk away with Surf. Forretress is out next.

4d 19h 18m We suddenly remember we're in a trainer battle and have Politoed turn on the charm with Attract. Muk, not to be outdone in stalling, Minimizes its body and badly poisons Politoed.

4d 19h 18m We send out Politoed and continue to chuck balls.

4d 19h 17m Our collector's instincts kick in and we try to catch the paralyzed Muk. Meganium, meanwhile, is poisoned and KO'd by Sludge Bomb.

4d 19h 15m Meganium acts as a full-body flyswatter and takes down Venomoth no problem. Muk is out next, and immediately paralyzed.

4d 19h 14m With Ariados squashed, Koga sends out Venomoth and misses with a Supersonic.

4d 19h 12m Vs. Elite Four Koga! We send out Meganium against his Ariados. Despite the type disadvantage, we throw out some Body Slams.

4d 19h 11m Xatu down! Beat Will!

4d 19h 10m Exeggutor is cut down with ease, and Will sends out his last Xatu.

4d 19h 9m Ursaring finishes Slowbro off. Jynx is out next, but falls to a single mighty Slash! Ursaring to level 50!

4d 19h 8m We burn the opponent with Fire Blast while raises its stats. Entei barely hangs on from a Psychic, but then loses fortitude and hits its own self! Entei is down self-destructively once again!

4d 19h 7m Entei breaks through and takes out Xatu! Slowbro is next.

4d 19h 5m We trade Embers for Psychics at first, but then Xatu opts to confuse us with its ray.

4d 19h 5m Vs. Elite Four Will! Attempt # something or other! We send Entei out vs. Xatu.

4d 19h 4m We step into Will's chambers and steel our nerves.

2d 1h 17m After a series of dream eater, bayleef falls! Blacked out! RIP attempt #3!

2d 1h 16m Bayleef wakes up and continues using weak or non-effective moves before being put to sleep again

2d 1h 16m We send in bayleef, our final mon, whose attacks are either ineffective or do little damage. Bayleef is put to sleep as gengar starts feasting with dream eater again

[Correction] This is the third attempt, not the second

2d 1h 14m Gengar puts Rocky to sleep then starts eating dreams. Rocky's at half health as we try to steal this gengar. Rocky the onix goes down to a second dream eater!

2d 1h 13m We send in Rocky who obeys our command to use strength. Too bad it did nothing. Gengar's hypnosis misses

2d 1h 11m We send in teddiursa again to leer at the gengar. Gengar looks at teddiursa meanly, meaning there's no escape. We try to run but no luck. An offering of TM08 Rock Smash as a bribe also fails. Gengar puts teddiursa to sleep then eats our bear's dreams. Teddiursa is down!

2d 1h 10m Teddiursa is being massacred, so we try fleeing. No luck however, so we switch in machop instead. Gastly's spite attack fails. We switch to golbat, who takes a lick attack then screeches at gastly, who licks again. Golbat's bite takes out gastly. Machop grows to level 20! Morty sends out haunter. Haunter's night shade leaves golbat in the yellow, while bite takes a third of haunter's health. A second night shade leaves golbat with 5 HP while a second bite leave haunter in the yellow. A final night shade and golbat goes down! Machop is sent in to take some night shade damage, with low kick missing and leer lowering haunter's defence. Machop barely hangs on after a third night shade, but the fourth is too much. Machop goes down! Poliwag's up next. Haunter takes a chunk of health with night shade, but poliwag's surf takes out haunter. Poliwag is now level 20! Morty sends in gengar, who takes out poliwag with shadow ball!

2d 1h 6m Versus Gym Leader Morty attempt #2! Teddiursa v gastly. Gastly immediately curses teddirusa, whose strength attack fails. Gastly's follow up spite reduces strength by 2 PP while scratch does nothing. Meanwhile teddiursa is just above half health due to curse damage

2d 1h 4m [D] We make it through again and talk to Morty for the second attempt, this time in democracy. Or maybe not. [A] Anarchy activates at the last second

2d 1h 0m [D] Democracy activates and we start taking baby steps towards Morty

2d 0h 56m Back into the gym. Time to face the Elite Floor again

2d 0h 52m Teddiursa gets put to sleep then gengar starts snacking with dream eater. Teddirusa is down! Blacked out! RIP Morty attempt #1! Back to Ecruteak City Pokémon Centre

2d 0h 50m Our only mon left is teddiursa. We try sending in some of our more useful mons instead, as well as fleeing the battle, but it's useless. We send in teddiursa with a heavy heart, knowing there's nothing that can be done at this point

2d 0h 48m Bayleef tries to poison the poison-type haunter, as haunter finally lands a night shade quickly followed by a hypnosis. A second night shade leaves bayleef at just above half health, while a third attack leaves bayleef with 30 HP. Haunter uses minic then takes himself out with Curse. Bayleef grows to level 32! Up next is gengar. Bayleef wakes up and hits a weak razor leaf as gengar's dream eater fails. A second razor leaf hits and bayleef goes down to curse damage!

[Snark] Wow, not much happened that turn

2d 0h 46m We send in bayleef, whose body slam does nothing. Haunter's attack also misses. We check our bag then order another body slam as hypnosis misses again

2d 0h 45m We send in Rocky, our level 32 onix, who refuses to listen to us. Haunter's hypnosis misses but the two night shades leave Rocky on 32 HP. Rocky dodges a few more hypnosises while refusing to listen to us and using non-effective moves instead of the damaging moves we suggest. Rocky goes down to a fourth night shade!

2d 0h 43m Machop's back in. Machop is down to a night shade!

2d 0h 43m We send machop back in. Haunter uses a night shade as machop wakes up and leers at the ghost. We switch out to golbat, who gets hit by night shade for a third of her health, with a second night shade leaving her at 15 HP. Leech life does minor damage, healing a single HP. A third night shade takes out golbat!

2d 0h 41m We swap out to machop as haunter uses night shade to take a third of machops health. Haunter puts machop to sleep. Alas it seems machop is also useless in this fight, on account of having only normal and fighting moves. We swap back out to poliwag, who goes down in 2 night shades!

2d 0h 40m We swap out teddirusa, who could do nothing, for poliwag to dodge a curse and surf to take out gastly. Morty sends in haunter next. Haunter also curses as poliwag surfs again, leaving haunter in the red. Haunter puts poliwag to sleep, leaving our tadpole to be damaged by curse

2d 0h 39m Gastly uses some bad language and curses teddiursa. Meanwhile teddiursa does nothing. We dive into our bag, looking for something that could help, then try fleeing from the spoopy ghosts. Gastly's next move is to spite teddiursa, reducing strength's PP while fury swipes does nothing

2d 0h 37m Democracy was turned on so we could get through the maze. Currently facing Gym Leader Morty attempt #1! Teddiursa v gastly

Rocky then digs to dodge a sand attack, putting sandshrew to red health and dodging a second sand attack. Another dig and sandshrew is down. Rocky grows to level 21! Elliot sends out his marill next, and Rocky digs to avoid a rollout. Dig only does half damage on marill, who uses tail whip then defence curl as Rocky uses dig again, leaving marill in the red. Marill starts the rollout and Rocky digs underground again to interrupt the attack, finishing the marill and embarrassing Elliot in front of his girlfriend even further

0d 21h 33m We send out bayleef, who uses fury cutter for minor damage. Tangela's constrict drops bayleef's speed, and a second fury cutter does higher damage, with a final razor leaf taking out tangela and defeating the schoolboy.

We send in Rocky, who takes out the abra with a single dig. Rocky grows to level 19! Mark has a second abra, who tries flashing Rocky, but Rocky burrowed underground to take out the abra.

0d 20h 42m We talk to the shop owner. She says her little sister went to Route 36 and never returned...

0d 20h 41m We enter the flower shop next to the gym

0d 20h 39m The sunlight blinds us as we step outside. Our new baby didn't hatch inside the gym after all

[Fluff] The flowerboxes in this gym are more than just pretty obstacles. They actually form the shape of a clefairy

0d 20h 32m The egg looks like it may hatch soon. Will it hatch before we get out of here?

0d 20h 31m Whitney starts crying so we turn to leave, disturbed by this behaviour. A gym trainer tells us to try again and we talk to Whitney. She gives us the plain badge and TM45 Attract!

0d 20h 30m We send in bayleef and Whitney calls upon the infamous miltank. Miltank starts off with rollout, which misses, avoids a poison powder then starts stomping before getting a rollout off. Bayleef manages to get in a couple of razor leafs. Miltank falls. We win!

0d 20h 29m We get there at last. VS Whitney, attempt #3! Whitney sends out clefairy and we lead with AAAGGG the bellsprout. Clefairy's metronome becomes mega drain and bellsprout uses vine whip. Clefairy then metronomes into explosion, taking out bellsprout!

0d 20h 26m We'll get there eventually. Currently moving very slowly because every other input is select spam

0d 20h 23m We make our way up to the first gym trainer. She ignores us

0d 20h 22m Finally! We pass through the sliding doors and hear the gym music. Time for a challenge!

0d 20h 20m We didn't get a watering can. Instead, we're still stuck trying to enter the gym

0d 20h 16m We enter the flower shop. Will we get a watering can?

0d 20h 13m We attempt to get back into the gym. We enter the name rater's house then get a call from the bike shop. Apparently enough people have witnessed our flailing around in a futile effort to enter the gym that sales have shot through the roof! We get to keep the bike!

[Snark] All you had to do was enter the damn gym, Dpk!

0d 20h 11m The split turns red! :TriHard:

0d 20h 11m Oak keeps warning us not to dawdle, telling us it's not the time to hop on the bike

0d 20h 10m With 1 minute to go, we enter a random house near the gym. Which will really help us beat this split

0d 20h 8m We're rushing to the gym as we've got 4 minutes before the Whitney split turns red. Or we would be rushing to the gym if we weren't taking this tour of the backstreets of Goldenrod

0d 20h 6m Back in Goldenrod City. We hop on the bike and speed along to the gym, overshoot, get off the bike, turn around, overshoot again, get back on the bike, then get lost in a back alley

0d 20h 5m Irwin calls us with some exciting news...or not. Apparently he calls people just to laugh at them

0d 20h 3m We're currently in Goldenrod City Pokémon centre. Our team is currently fully healed due to our faint warping so we leave and head to Route 34 instead

0d 20h 2m Fury Cutter spam isn't enough to take care of it, though. Bayleef faints! We white out! Back to the Goldenrod Poké Center.

0d 20h 1m We start using Fury Cutter; our opponent Magmar uses Ember, but we're a much higher level.

0d 20h 0m A Trainer catches us on the way out...Challenged by Firebreather Walt!

0d 19h 58m After a lot of wild encounters and struggles with the fence, we manage to escape back to Route 35.

0d 19h 50m We pick up a Parlyz Heal!

0d 19h 47m Finally got past the fence. We pick up TM28 Dig!

0d 19h 42m Due to all these wild encounters, Bayleef is down to half health. Still looking for that gap in the fence.

0d 19h 39m We use Poisonpowder a few times before taking care of Cubone with Razor Leaf. Defeated Lass Krise!

0d 19h 37m After two Tackles, Oddish goes down. Bayleef reaches Lv. 26! Next up is Cubone.

0d 19h 37m Challenged by Lass Krise! She sends out Oddish.

0d 19h 29m Currently we're wandering in and out of the gatehouses, chasing after an item on the ground.

0d 19h 28m Voltorb faints! Defeated Schoolboy Jack!

0d 19h 27m Oddish faints from Tackle. Voltorb returns, and even its crit Tackle does barely anything to us.

0d 19h 26m We send out Bayleef and start working on Oddish with Fury Cutter. We double check on that Odd Egg to see how it's doing. It seems like our Awakening won't wake it up...

0d 19h 25m We change our minds and use Roar again. Oddish is sent back out, and we manage a single Tackle before it takes us out with Absorb. Rocky faints!

0d 19h 24m Oddish takes Rocky to half health with Absorb. We use Roar, bringing out a more favorable Voltorb.

0d 19h 23m We're Roaring all the wild Pokémon away, but Trainers still lurk in the grass. Challenged by Schoolboy Jack! He sends out Oddish as we send out Rocky.

0d 19h 21m We head back outside, then try to climb on top of a fountain. When that fails, we try out the wild grass.

[Fluff] You can turn on the PC from the side, at least here.

0d 19h 19m Deposited Bellsprout (unnamed) and Togepi!

0d 19h 18m We enter the National Park! Then we turn on the PC...

0d 19h 16m We decide to take Juggler Irwin's number, adding him to our PokeGear. We hop on the bike with joy.

0d 19h 14m With that X Attack, Voltorb is no challenge. Next up is a Lv. 14 Voltorb; we react with Tackle, and it copies us but misses. Defeated Juggler Irwin!

0d 19h 14m We send out Bayleef, and immediately try to use a Super Potion, before we use an X. Attack! Voltorb responds with Screech.

0d 19h 13m Next up is a Lv. 10 Voltorb, which gets us to 1 HP before using Screech. One last Tackle does the job--AAAGGG faints!

0d 19h 12m The next Voltorb is Lv. 6, which is enough to outspeed...but not enough to stop us. AAAGGG reaches Lv. 11! AAAGGG learns Wrap!

0d 19h 11m Challenged by Juggler Irwin! He sends out a Lv. 2 Voltorb, which we take care of easily with AAAGGG.

0d 19h 10m After some deliberation, we send out AAAGGG. We live a Magnitude 7 and use Vine Whip, and Diglett faints! AAAGGG reaches Lv. 10! Defeated Camper Ivan!

0d 19h 9m We send out Togepi...and this time, Diglett lands a Magnitude 10! Togepi faints!

0d 19h 8m Diglett gets a Magnitude 9, and Bellsprout faints!

0d 19h 8m Zubat meets its end from Cut. Next out is another Diglett, which opens with Growl before starting in on Scratch.

0d 19h 7m Diglett falls to Cut, and Bellsprout reaches Lv. 14! Next out is Zubat.

0d 19h 6m Challenged by Camper Ivan! He sends out a Diglett.

0d 19h 5m Back out onto Route 35.

0d 19h 1m Miltank starts readying Rollout. We keep going with Fury Cutter, but the third hit is enough to knock us out. Bayleef faints! Blacked out! Back to the Goldenrod Pokémon Center.

0d 19h 1m Miltank keeps using Stomp as we ready up Fury Cutter. We switch to Tackle, but a flinch stops us from trying it.

0d 19h 0m One more Stomp is enough to do it. Rocky faints! Only Bayleef remains.

0d 19h 0m A crit Stomp brings us to the red; we use another Roar, and Clefairy goes for a Doubleslap. We live, only to Roar again.

0d 18h 59m After one Rollout turn, we bring Clefairy back out. It uses Fire Blast, taking us to low health with a crit; we use another Roar.

0d 18h 58m We send out Rocky! The next Metronome gives Clefairy Belly Drum...and then we Roar it right out! Now facing Miltank. It opens with Stomp, and we flinch.

0d 18h 58m We send out Togepi against Clefairy. We both use Metronome...but Clefairy, at level 18, outspeeds and hits us with the resulting Earthquake. Togepi faints!

0d 18h 57m Vs. Gym Leader Whitney! Attempt #2!

0d 18h 53m Back inside the Goldenrod Gym!

0d 18h 52m Back to Goldenrod City.

0d 18h 50m Rocky is sent back out. We spend awhile digging through our bag before deciding on Tackle to finish Vulpix off. Togepi reaches Lv. 8! Defeated Picnicker Kim!

0d 18h 49m Never mind; Roar brings Togepi back out. We try to flee.

0d 18h 48m Togepi opens with Mud Slap, and Vulpix's next Roar misses. We switch our other Bellsprout right into an Ember, and AAAGGG faints! Rocky's turn.

0d 18h 48m Togepi opens with Mud Slap, and Vulpix's next Roar misses. We switch our other Bellsprout right into an Ember, and **AAAGGG faints!* Rocky's turn.

0d 18h 47m After we use Growth a few times, Vulpix remembers it has Ember, and then finishes the job with Quick Attack. Bellsprout faints! We send out Togepi.

0d 18h 47m Vulpix starts using Tail Whip; we decide to stay in this time, using Vine Whip.

0d 18h 46m We switch out in favor of Bayleef. Vulpix responds with Roar, dragging Bellsprout right back out again.

[Fluff] It was nice of her not to interrupt our call with Joey, though.

0d 18h 44m A trainer spots us and says she's headed to the gym, too! Vs. Picnicker Kim! She sends out a Vulpix as we send out Bellsprout.

0d 18h 44m To clear our heads, we decide to stop by Route 35, riding our bike as we go.

0d 18h 40m We decide not to cheat, instead using Tackle. Clefairy uses Doubleslap, and Bayleef faints! Blacked out! Back to the Goldenrod Pokémon Center.

0d 18h 40m Whitney opens with Jigglypuff. We only have a Bayleef with 5 HP; we dig desperately through our bag.

0d 18h 39m After trying to run over Whitney with our bike, we finally give in and talk to her. Vs. Gym Leader Whitney! Attempt #1.

0d 18h 39m Our next Razor Leaf is a critical hit! Defeated Lass Bridget!

0d 18h 38m As we fall to 2 HP, we switch to Poisonpowder...but Jigglypuff uses Sing and misses. With that defeated, Bayleef reaches Lv. 25!

0d 18h 38m We wake up, but use Poisonpowder again. Pound puts us to low health...and we clutch, switching to Razor Leaf. Jigglypuff faints, and Bridget sends out another.

0d 18h 37m Jigglypuff Sings us to sleep, but poison is dealing some slow damage to it. It decides to use Defense Curl.

0d 18h 36m Bridget sends out Jigglypuff. We open with Fury Cutter, but it uses Disable, so we switch to Poisonpowder as it starts using Pound.

0d 18h 35m After some intense pacing, we run into another trainer. Challenged by Lass Bridget!

0d 18h 31m We start out with Fury Cutter, then switch to Razor Leaf. Snubbull faints quickly. Defeated Lass Carrie!

0d 18h 29m Challenged by Lass Carrie! She sends out a Snubbull.

0d 18h 30m We also tossed a Lure Ball during that last Trainer battle. We're back to 0 balls.

0d 18h 27m We take care of one of the Meowths with Tackle; the other Meowth returns, tearing into us with Scratch.

0d 18h 25m We use Roar, dragging out another Meowth, which uses Bite. Rocky faints! All we have left is a Bayleef, alongside our egg.

0d 18h 23m We wander across the gym until we meet a trainer. Challenged by Beauty Samantha! She sends out a Meowth against Rocky.

0d 18h 19m We finish it off with Tackle for a little flair. Defeated Beauty Victoria!

0d 18h 17m This sentret's a little higher level, and it knows Fury Attack. Our Bind isn't doing much, but the residuals slowly chip away...

0d 18h 15m Quick Attack is dealing a little bit of our HP every time, but Bind is doing a lot more. Sentret faints, and Victoria sends out yet another Sentret.

0d 18h 15m The new Sentret starts using Defense Curl, as we stay on Bind.

0d 18h 14m A couple Binds are enough to take care of Sentret. Victoria sends out another Sentret.

0d 18h 13m Challenged by Beauty Victoria! She sends out Sentret as we send out Rocky. We open with Bind as we start using Tackle.

0d 18h 12m Entered the Goldenrod City Gym!

0d 17h 28m Back into Ilex Forest.

0d 17h 23m We stop by someone's house. He's impressed with us for defeating the Team Rocket grunts, and asks us to train with him sometime. We walk into the wall.

0d 17h 20m We reenter Azalea Town and visit Kurt. He's excited to see us, and gives us a Lure Ball! Then he sees that GS Ball we got earlier, and asks to take a look at it. Handed over the GS Ball! Sounds like it'll be 24 hours until he's ready.

0d 17h 15m We stop by Celebi's shrine, but it looks like we need to take the GS Ball someplace else. We start heading back to Azalea.

[Chat] Chat is beginning to worship the egg.

0d 17h 7m With the help of a wild Magikarp, AAAGGG (Bellsprout) reaches Lv. 8!

0d 16h 50m We Roar again, hoping for something a little more interesting. This time we get a Sandshrew.
