Anyone ever try to solo a game (out of boredom or otherwise) with only one of the available starters from said game? If so which ones and what game?

I'm trying to solo SS with just Typhlosion feeling pic related. I'm currently at lvl 55 knowing Flame Wheel, DE, Lava Plume, and Swift. I'm about to face Clair (i expect this to be my first real obstacle). Also Dragonite makes a great HM slave

I solo'd Silver with Typhlosion and Sapphire with Blaziken. I had to bring along HM slaves, who also in some cases were cannon fodder when I used a revive if needed, but otherwise full solo.
While technically not the starter, I also used Nidoking solo in Yellow. Thunder, Rockslide, Earthquake, and Strength. I much much later tried finishing the pokedex and training other pokemon, but I sneezed and dropped my gameboy and all my data was lost so I gave up on that.

Until the end. I finished level 100, but I stopped to grind a lot.

I made her become Meganium through, because it didn't feel right to stop her blooming.

Hell, that's how I practically used to play the game as a little kid. Almost solo'd Yellow with Pikachu, only subbing him out a few times to let either my Butterfree or later on Articuno take out ground types.

But actual, legit solo runs with starter Pokemon? Nah, I haven't. Not because it seems too challenging, but because it would be too easy, especially if your using a starter. But honestly, almost any solo Pokemon run becomes a cake walk once the level difference between your Pokemon and the level the game expects you to be at becomes large enough.

I know because I've done a solo Rattata run before. It goes from challenging to easy mode sometime shortly after your first cave.

Only soloed Emerald with a Metagross, obviously starting as a Beldum. I may have cheated and started with Leftovers as a held item. Still was fucking awesome.

I used to solo Red and Blue with either Charizard or Blastoise.
I had always the final form juste before the 3rd Gym. I arrived at the Champion around Lv 80.

I tried it again on FireRed with Charizard and, thanks to the VS seeker and the Sevii Island Quest, I've beaten the League at Level 88

Oh, it was Gen I so it wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds. Once you pick up Bubblebeam, you can one shot most Rock types that resist your stab.
I believe my endgame moveset was Hyperfang, Body Slam, Blizzard, and Bubblebeam.

I was thinking of doing another similar solo run for a tougher gen, but I never got around to it.

I remember soloing FR with only NidoranF.

I ended the first round around Lv. 90.

Did it say Nidoran F or did you evolve it?
