- Klaus evolves into Bibarel.

💥 vs Mars @ Valley Windworks [ Max 2 ] :zubat: :purugly:
I tried this fight while capped at level 16 before realizing how much of a mistake that was. I had lost a run before here (in Platinum), but for some reason I went for it. I only managed to scrape by because she didn't have enough set up moves. I had Klaus use Defense Curl 6 times to max his Defense and increase the power of Rollout, and hoped for the best. I think I took down Zubat before finishing using Defense Curl, so Purugly chipped away a bit before I locked myself into Rollout. Thankfully, it worked... but that's not going to work on Jupiter.
Team: :bibarel: :monferno:

💥 vs Gardenia @ Eterna Gym [ Max 3 | lvl 22 ] :cherubi: :turtwig: :roserade:
Nothing to say here. This was a breeze with Monky.
Team: :monferno: :staravia: :kadabra:

I've been using a website to keep track of the Pokemon I catch and what I use against the important trainer battles, but I sure wish they kept the Journal Key Item. I actually liked that feature.

- I picked Chimchar because I picked Turtwig in my normal game file and figured he would be helpful. Next run, I will choose a random one.

💥 vs Barry @ Route 203 [ Max 2 | Lvl 9 ] :starly: :piplup:
For this battle, I actually didn't think about team caps for non gym leaders yet, so I had my full team at the time. It turned out to be advantageous, because I was a bit unprepared and ended up using 3 Pokemon to defeat him.
Team: :chimchar: :starly: :bidoof: :shinx:

- Monky evolves into Monferno.

💥 vs Roark @ Oreburgh Gym [ Max 3 | lvl 14 ] :geodude: :onix: :cranidos:
I was very worried about this fight, but it turned out to be completely fine since Monky evolved into Monferno and learned Mach Punch.
Team: :monferno: :geodude: :machop:

Playthrough Journals / Guidelines & Info
Last post by hexakarm - Tuesday, Aug 11, 2026 - 12:06:05 PM
(most of these types of posts are gonna be bare bones for a while lol)

Welcome to the Playthrough Journals subtopic. Here you can post threads detailing your playthroughs of any Pokemon game. This is primarily meant for challenge runs such as Nuzlocke and Professor Oak, but anything goes.


No Duplicate Topics
Please only make one topic per playthrough! Even if you haven't posted in a thread for a while, continue to make updates rather than starting a thread anew. This includes restarting a playthrough or a failed/abandoned run.

Use Topic Prefixes, if Applicable
Currently, there are two available prefixes for posts in this forum - Nuzlocke and Prof. Oak. More may be added if I feel they fit and/or at request.

Updates

- Gruvbox theme 90% done. Fully usable, but a few things look weird because I was lazy, and a few other things I didn't edit because I haven't interacted with them yet (i.e. PMs)
- Changed forum name to "too many hobbies", and then to "dilettante2polymath" because I am cringe and I just found out about those words. Dilettante is someone who has surface level interest in many topics, and polymath is someone who is actually an expert on multiple things.
- Added a mod that allows me to add Pages to the forum, where I would like to keep rules, info, help, and other sorts of information rather than in a forum section. This may or may not be permanent?

Thoughts
-  I don't really want "Pages" in the header (nvm i changed it), but idk if i want this as a permanent solution for a section of important pages. idk
