Starting a Pokemon Heart Gold nuzlocke-ish challenge 👀

Name my character Turtle.

My starter is Totodile.
Her name is Chomp.

And the adventure begins.
Okay made it to
Mr. Pokemon's house no problem, and back to Cherrygrove City

Chomp is Lv. 8 now

About to fight my rival for the first time.

Any ideas for a name for my rival?
AND THE RIVALS NAME IS: Gerald
Sprout Tower ascended and conquered

Chomp is Lv. 15 now.
She's a lean blue mass murdering machine.

Got my second team member too.
Spookly the Gastly
Time to fight:
Falkner of Violet City

It...it was a short fight.

Chomp single handedly clipped his teams wings.

She's a mean gator, I'm tellin ya.
And Chomp became Bigger Chomp (Croconaw)
Arrived in Azalea Town, about to rescue the town's slowpoke from Team Rocket.

Chomp is a strong Lv.20
Spookly is going good at Lv.16
Okay back at it.

Just rescued Azalea Town's slowpoke.

Onwards to the local bug gym.

Chomp just learned Ice Fang so this should be a walk in the park.
Second Gym down

Bugsy didn't stand a chance against Chomp's Ice Fang.

Kakuna did poison Chomp a little but no sweat.
Second battle with rival Gerald went well.

Their Bayleef got one poisonpowder in but still fell to Chomps Ice Fang.
Meet:
ShroomTop the Paras

The newest member of the family.
Didn't get anything on Route 34 to Goldenrod City.

Chomp kept K.O.'ing everything.

Gotta train Spookly and ShroomTop so I should be able capture something there.
Spookly evolved into Haunter.

The egg I got hatched to a Togepi, big surprise.......

I miss that the daycare couple use to give you an egg.
Meet the 5th member of the team:

Dratini

They were a grind to get but i did it.
i miss the old coin system......
Onward to the Goldenrod City gym.

This one has aways given me trouble cause of her Miltank.
Battling the Goldenrod City Gym with Leader Whitney.

Her normal types are going down.
A good description on how THAT fight went.
Three gyms down now.

On to a easy one.
The Ghost Gym. https://twitter.com/GlassTurtle1/status/1313329380576329728?s=19
TODAY IS TUESDAY....
Bug Competition went well.
Won with my new 6th party member:

M-Hornet a LV.18 Kakuna

Party is full now.....
AND during the contest Chomp LV. Up enough to evolve

Chomp has now assumed her final form. 🐊
Okay Sudowoodo successfully captured, named them TreeBeard.

I have no shame.
M-Hornet evolved from a Kakuna to a Beedrill
Wait, Togepi knows a psychic move right off the bat now?

Egg and me just became new best friends
OKAY LETS GOOOOOO!

Third battle with rival Gerald.

They're going DOWN!
Easy victory against Gerald.

Dratini even evolved afterwards thanks to a battle against a Koffing.
Time to take on the Ecruteak City Gym (misspelled it last time)

I for one hate this gym's floor, its dark and narrow, you fall you go back to the beginning.

Oh well.

Chomp knows Crunch.
Easy gym.
I fell 7 times 👀
Time to fight:
Morty the Ghost type Ecruteak City Gym leader.

Not going to be a challenge for Chomp and her Crunch.
And sweet, sweet victory.
One-hitted all his ghost types with Chomps Crunch.

Next step is leveling up the rest of the team.

Then might go grab Eevee from Bill.
Okay so I will stive to evolve Eevee to Umbreon.

My party is full so it'll have to wait for a bit, until a party member faints and I can sub Eevee in. https://twitter.com/GlassTurtle1/status/1313432260146855937?s=19
Got some leveling up to do first.
ShroomTop, M-Hornet and Egg need some work.
We have our first casualty.

M-Hornet was taken out today by a wild Magnamite's Thundershock.

It critical hit upon impact.
About to ascend the lighthouse in Olivine City

Taking a break before doing that.
Heading up the Lighthouse and run into this gentleman, Gentleman Alfred.

For all purposes this man IS:
Alfred Pennyworth
Okay Lighthouse ascended, next stop is Cianwood for some medicine for the sick lighthouse pokemon.

Then gotta takedown the Fighting type gym there too.
Ocean crossed,
Medicine obtained.

Next step the Fighting Gym.
Oh ya, beat this guy north of town.
Myster Man Eusine
Dude has a total stiffy for Suicune.
Cianwood Gym Leader Chuck defeated.

Egg was able to Yawn and Extrasensory out way through the gym.
Time to fly that medicine back to the Lighthouse pokemon.
Awesome lighthouse lit backup.
My favorite change they made in this game is the Olivine City Gym.

In the original the gym was empty of trainers and depressing.

In these remakes, the two trainers dont battle you but instead thank you for helping their gym leader heal the lighthouse pokemon

Its just real neat
Defeated Leader Jasmine of Olivine City Gym

She's tough for sure.
Her Steelix is one of the meaner pokemon of the gym leaders.
We ended up loosing one of our own.

Spookly was lost today due to an Iron Tail from Steelix.

Her fight was not in vain.

She had let loose with a confuse ray before her passing.

This in combination with a critical Slash from Chomp lead us to victory.

R.I.P Spookly
Next stop is Mohagany Town to deal with the Gyarados problem at Lake of Rage.

Doing to need to fill that party slot now that Spookly is gone.
Back at it and already caught my newest party member on the way to Lake of Rage:

ZapFloof

Got a electric type finally.
Was even able to catch the Red Gyarados at Lake of Rage.

Ginger is his name.
He is a pretty pretty boi.

He'll have to wait to be in the party though.
One Grunt,
Two Grunt,
Three Grunt,
Four.
How many must I beat for you to let me though the door.
- poem by Turtle
This fight gave me more trouble then it should have.

Her Arbok paralized Lance's Dragonite almost right off the bat.

It might as well been a 1v2 fight
Next step is the Mahogany City Gym with Pryce the Ice type.
Need to train ZapFloof and Darkness so they both evolve.
Didn't get a whole lot done.
ZapFloof did evolve at least, should help against the Ice gym.
Took on Leader Pryce of Mahogany Gym.
His Piloswine is a tough one, has some high defenses.
DAMMIT THAT WAS CLOSE.
THE FRIGGIN PILOSWINE.

Critical hit me with a Mud Bomb and it lowered my accuracy early on.

Chomp missed a quarter of her attacks.
About to take on Team Rocket in Goldenrod City.

Love the costume switch you do to get into the Radio Station.

Fun little twist.
Wish they let you have different costumes.
This guy.....
Fourth battle with Rival Gerald.
This rival is my favourite to beat.
There is something satisfying about taking down your rival's starter with your own.
This puzzle plague me for year.
And this.
THIS!?!?!
Is the order of the switches.
đŸ˜¶
Rematch Time:
Last time Executive Ariana gave me trouble but this time Lance isn't here to get in the way.
Beat who ever this Giovanni wannabe was.
Okay about to head to Blackthorn City to take on the Dragon gym.

Going to be easy, got Chomp, Dragonair, and ZapFloof to help take care of anything.
Taking on:
Claire the Dragon Leader of Blackthorn City
Chomp 1-hit K.O.'s all her Pokemon except Kindra.

Then it was a eye for eye battle.

But Chomp, she proved to be the stronger and remained standing at ONLY 6 HP.
Has anyone ever failed this test in the Dragons Den?

I feel like this is "just be a decent person" and you pass.
Time to battle the five Kimono Dancers of Ecruteak City.
I dont know what that puzzle of a tower was but I didn't like it.

At the top of the tower at least.

Will I be able to catch the legendary Ho-Ho?
