The Official Pokemon Challenge Thread - Black/White Edition

Eh, debatable. The first ground type you can get is technically geodude or onix (both reside in that first cave), but including evolution lines, the first ground types you can get are Nidoran Male and Female, as they reside right in the patch of grass before victory road.

If you can find an Onix before a Geodude, I envy you. Can you perfectly avoid Zubats too? :P But yes, that's true.

You're right and wrong on the Nidoran evolution lines though. Since they're only ground types once they're evolved to King/Queen, you need to find a moonstone. And of course, nobody in the world has avoided Geodudes long enough to find that first moonstone.

Although you are correct in that they're the first pokemon eligible to catch for your monotype challenge. I shoulda thought of that. >_>;

[Mythrignoc]

Well, I CAN catch geodude, but I really hate Geodudes mainly because of that stupid "you must trade to evolve to graveler" crap. So right now I'll stick with Nidoqueen and Nidoking, which I just acquired. Gotta love frameskip!

[Splash_King]

"you must trade to evolve to golem" crap.

Fixed. :P

But yes, very true. I still remember all those years ago when I was a n00b at pokemon, I was confused as **** when I couldn't get Graveler to evolve. I just couldn't figure it out until I got all the way to saving Silph Co. and I read that one document that said pokemon can evolve through trades. I still vividly remember that deep-sinking feeling of stupid I had. Shoulda just asked a friend, or google. Luckily, I had a Golem by the time I reached Blaine.

[Mythrignoc]

Heh, whoops, my mistake.

Anyway, found out Red doesn't have sandshrew. It's blue that has it. Replacing sandslash with Rhydon. No biggie, Nidoqueen, Nidoking and Dugtrio are kicking ass so far.

Still confused about game freak's decision on that...

So how'd you handle Misty? :P

[Mythrignoc]

Misty was easy. Nidoking and Nidoqueen are ground type but water isn't super-effective against them because they're poison type first.

You mean they weren't evolved prior to the gym battle, right? >_>;
