    Name: Seth
    Type: Bug

    With Chuck's and Jasmine's Badges secured, I made my next move a return to Cianwood, to train my team by clearing out Routes 47 and 48. Then, with that done, I flew to Ecruteak and headed east, clearing out every part of Mt. Mortar that I could reach without Waterfall.

    As I was doing this, the need for various HMs and my outsized number of battlers and HMers became annoying. I realized that, given the locations of certain late-game HMs, I could make Hydronaut redundant until Blackthorne by giving Surf to EarthMover for now...but shortly after that, it also occurred to me that Beedrill was underperforming. I studied the matter and concluded that, ultimately, the only thing Beedrill stood out for in this party was poison. Poisoning the opponent wasn't really my style in the long run, especially since it prevents Butterfree from putting the enemy to sleep, and there aren't really any targets that Poison-type moves are great against...that Bug-type moves aren't also great against.

    So, in Mahogany Town, I deposited Beedrill and went up Route 42 with three battlers, which meant each earned EXP four-thirds as fast. I had Butterfree put the Red Gyarados to sleep on Turn 1, and then Psybeamed it to death while it slumbered. This convinced Lance to invite me on a Team Rocket-stomping tour of the Mahogany Rocket Base.

    I was surprised to discover that, in Heart/Soul, each Persian statue can only activate once. With that revelation, I decided screw the switch, and battled the same two Rocket Grunts at every single Persian statue for extra EXP. I also made sure to fight every last Voltorb, Geodude and Koffing in the minefield. Just because I didn't care about the switch, though, didn't mean I didn't take the time to pummel the TR Scientist guarding it.

    I proceeded to clear out the rest of the base in an orderly fashion (how exactly does your character know Petrel's imitation of Giovanni is bad? When did you ever see or hear Giovanni before this point in the game? Did his position as Viridian Gym Leader mean he appeared on TV now and then?) and recieved the Whirlpool HM from a grateful Lance. Then I headed down to the Gym, and between Brick Break and Metal Claw (with a what-the-heck Close Combat at the very end), dispatched the Ice-type trainers and won the Glacier Badge.

    As I left the Gym, I got a call from Prof. Elm telling me about Team Rocket on the air. I checked my Pokégear and discovered that the rats were broadcasting on every possible frequency. It was time to head to Goldenrod and pull their plug!

    Team:
    L36
    Psybeam, Sleep Powder, Gust, Silver Wind

    L37
    Brick Break, Aerial Ace, Close Combat, Leer

    L38
    Metal Claw, Wing Attack, Slash, Pursuit

    Aviator L16
    Fly, Cut, Aerial Ace, Thief

    EarthMover L22
    Dig, Strength, Surf, Rock Smash

    Spelunker L6
    Cut, Stun Spore, Rock Smash, Flash


    ...It's just recently occured to me that I haven't been doing a banner for this MTC...I'll have to whip something up.

    Holy hell, I haven't updated since I beat Team Rocket in that ice town (can't remember the name D: ) and I seem to have misplaced my DS. Anyway, I've completed everything but Red and Mt. Silver, so I'll just post my final team since I did everything so long ago. (No levels, can't find DS D: ) After this playthrough, I have to say that Steels are now one of my favourite types. Awesomesauce.

    Titanium


    Rocky


    Stryke


    Steve


    Escala


    Lucario

    I hacked him in, since I could't be bothered breeding for a lucario. Left the shiny thing on though by accident, so I have a shiny Lucario.

    That's absurd, but that's how my fish rolled! Good shizzle there.

    Alright, after successfully completing a Grass monotype on Platinum with some difficult pokemon (Tropius and Cherrim for example) I decided it's time for another unusual type: Bug!

    Name: Matt
    Type: Bug
    Reason: I adore Beedrill, and bug pokemon are pretty cool anyway.

    So I opted for a challenge and started off! Picked Totodile, did the necessary shit and as soon as I got balls (lol) I caught myself a female Adamant Weedle! I named it Fei and trained it up to Beedrill as I arrived in Violet city. Quickly went through Sprout Tower to face Falkner, which I had to battle twice in order to be victorious. Fei picked up Twinneedle which really helped and so I continued on the way to Azalea. Caught myself an Onix as HMslave and gave Fei a Shell Bell, hurr! Cleared out Slowpoke tunnel, fought my rival and challenged Bugsy. A nasty Critical Hit killed me, but on the retry I used Harden and then spammed Fury Attack, victorious again. Now to find myself a decent Pineco..

    Pokemon:

    Fei (Beedrill) [F]
    Level 23 - Adamant Nature
    Twinneedle | Pursuit | Fury Attack | Harden
