>Set you text speed to Fast, battle effects to Off (AFTER Brock set your Battle Style to Set).
>Start with Squirtle. It will be important in the battle with Brock.
>Before you head out to Viridian Forest go to Route 22 and catch level 3/4 Nidoran(male). It can be acquired rather quickly (35% encounter rate).
>Also, buy few potions so you won't have to go back to Pokecenter.
>Level up your Squirtle to level 8 so it learns Bubble.
>Use Nidoran against weaker enemies to level it up. Squirtle will be helpful against Metapods, Kakunas and Brock gym with its Bubble (procedure: lead with Nidoran, switch to Squirtle, kill).
>As soon as your Nidoran evolves, ditch Squirtle.
>Acquire Moon Stone in Mt. Moon and get yourself sweet Nidoking. Teach it every good TM you can (Water Gun in Mt. Moon, Ice Beam later).
>At 23 level Nidoking learns Thrash. You can get it quicker via Rare Candies. Use them now or in Pokemon League.
>Beat the game with Nidoking. It can easily sweep the whole game. It should have Earthquake (against Agatha), Ice Beam (against Lance) and Thunderbolt (against Lorelei).

Additional info:
>If you are scared about Misty's Starmie - switch to Squirtle, Tail Whip Starmie, let Squirtle die, use Thrash to 2HKO Starmie with Nidoking. Starmie shouldn't be able to 2HKO Nidoking.
>For Silph Co. - Card Key is on 5th floor (bottom right corner IIRC). Then use teleport on 3rd floor to get to Giovanni. GET TM26 ON 10TH FLOOR AS WELL.
>Buy X Speeds, X Attacks, X Specials if you are skipping trainers. Buff a little in E4 matches.

I expect good results, OP.

Alternative strategy:
Beat the game with your starter, Kadabra and Nidoking if you are not very serious about the race.

Considering that fans can suggest changes we can expect something a lot better than HoMM6 (Necropolis line-up got improved for example). I would want to see something as good as HoMM5 tbh.
And yea, fuck Uplay.

Mixing dwarves with elves has always been weird to me in early HoMM games (I grew up with Forgotten Realms universe). HoMM5 creature line-ups make more sense (especially Dungeon). However, I can understand your point of view.
