The Red Reuben

On the very small chance you're being sincere, thank you.

Totally sincere!

I hope more people start posting about their travels.

Good work, man! I was afraid you'd give up but I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. <3.

Another Grass type? MY TEAM WOULD CRUSH YOURS.

He said you could use Piplup for a steel team, so I assume you could use a Poliwag.

What levels are they at and how close do you get to beating Onix?

Holy crap, that sounds like an awesome battle. Let us know how it goes.

EDIT: Oh. Bug. Not flying. Yuuuuuck. Good luck, and here is hoping for some poison hax from Poison Sting~

Until I hear otherwise, I figure I'll just stick to the Johto/Kanto region. I started my game, named myself "Florian", and picked "Chikorita". Looking forward to catching my "Bellsprout", and defeating Falkner.

And because I was curious:

Katsuya - Psychic (Blue)
tenaciousg - Water (Emerald)
HeadCheese - Normal (FireRed)
Christian BerTeke - Rock (Gold)
Carparama - Grass (Soul Silver)
Fry_4000 - Ground (Platinum)
Larz - Fighting (Leaf Green)
Benjin Stark - Flying (FR/LG)
stokerino - Bug (Fire Red)
Chris2K - Electric (Crystal)
En Dub - Fire (Leaf Green)
Types available: Steel, Dark, Dragon, Ice, Poison, Ghost.

What are the "rules" for this challenge? Are we allowed to trade in Pokemon from other games?

Which types are left?

Lars, you're the lucky one. Fighting is my favourite type.

Well, there is little chance grass has of ever beating a Fire team, but if I can find some creative ways to stop some fire users, it'll be all good.

Chikorita, Bellsprout, Hoppip, Paras, Oddish, and Sunkern will have to be my team...! I don't get any other grass types until way too late in the game. Oh boy...

Oh wow, it's my least favourite type. This will be a challenge!

I'll pick Soul Silver.

Not much Disney love. Our lists would be super different, but I'm excited to see your 30-1.

Melky coming to Toronto!

What an offseason. :D

Benji, do what I did. HOLD A LOTTERY. Throw all 30 or 32 teams in a hat, depending on which league you're looking at, and slowly start eliminating teams from the hat. Get some other people involved, and create some suspense.

I did that this year for the NBA, and it came down to the Nuggets and Knicks. Would I hate Carmelo, or would I love him?

Well, it turns out that he is one of the top players in the league, and we're lucky to have him.

I actually had a blast doing this, and may do it again when NFL looks to get started.

Not impossible but probably pretty unlikely. Falcons seems to have a lot of local support for some reason, there's a bit of a history with Winnipeg and that name.

Jets' trademark isn't owned by the Coyotes. As for the Falcons... really? Every single person I know from the Peg, and people here in Brandon are dying for the Jets. Plus, every major poll online is roughly 2.5-1 for the Jets.

The Claydols there are amazing for experience. Just a hell of a grind, holy God.

Trying to grind up to 65 to get ready for Elite Four again. Uuuuugh.

Going to take soooo muuuuch tiiiiiime.

Gutted that our local boy Demarce lost.

Hughes is harder to find an opponent for, because he's not fighting for a paycheck anymore. If he was willing to take any fight I'd say Dan Hardy would be perfect...but maybe another DH, in Dennis Hallman? Hallman beat Hughes twice very early in both men's careers, vengeance for those losses might motivate Hughes, and Hallman's got a bit of momentum after beating a talentless Karo Parisyan last night...

Rampage...like I said, no interest in a rematch, but he doesn't deserve a title shot either. Maybe a rematch with Forrest Griffin, with the winner being in the title mix? Washed up as he is, would Couture go down to 205 to fight Rampage? Rampage vs. Rick Franklin?

Dennis Hallman's agent has stated he won't take the fight, as it doesn't make sense. I'm inclined to agree. Hughes/Hardy would be fun though.

As for any Rampage/Machida rematch, I doubt you need to worry. Dana believes Rampage won the fight, so he said there will no immediate rematch. It's unfortunate, because I actually did enjoy the fight, and I had Machida winning, as most people did. In fact, Dana is the only person I've heard who thought Rampage won. It was a close fight, but I don't see how you can clearly give it to anyone but Machida. At worst, it should have been a draw.

I got 21, but I should have gotten 25. Blanked on a few. Some I had no chance at.

Edgar's style will do that to him. Penn will be fine.

In my opinion, the undercard of Abu Dhabi was a LOT better than this card.
