Normal Monotype: Kanto: Update #5

After Erika, I proceeded into the Rocket hideout under the Game Corner
Defeated Giovanni and got the Silph Scope
Went back to Lavender Town and into the Pokemon Tower
Defeated Blue and made my way to the top of the Tower, "rescuing" Mr. Fuji
Woke up a Snorlax, caught it, and added it to my team
Went to Fuschia City, and into the Safari Zone
Had quite a bit of fun here, catching pretty much everything (including a Tauros, Kangaskahn, and Chansey)
Added Tauros to my team
Trained Tauros and Snorlax a bit and challenged Koga

His Pokemon were pretty easy, the Venonats were defeated with Tauros' Strength, although the Venomoth managed to take out Tauros. Fearow then Drill Pecked Venomoth to oblivion

Team
Spoiler:


Normal Monotype: Kanto: Update #6

After Koga, I flew back to Saffron City
Went into Silph Co. and defeated all the Rockets
Defeated Giovanni for the second time
Challenged the Fighting Dojo
Challenged Sabrina

Pretty easy, a few Earthquakes from Snorlax and a Strength from Tauros managed to defeat her

Team
Spoiler:


Normal Monotype: Kanto: Update #7

After Sabrina, I immediately flew to Pallet Town and surfed south to Cinnabar
Got lost in the Pokemon Mansion, but made my way out
Went through the Cinnabar Gym and challenged Blaine

The battle was easy enough, until Arcanine
Arcanine kept Fire Blasting my Pokemon, knocking each one out in 1 hit, except Snorlax
I took advantage of Snorlax's high HP and defeated Arcanine with Earthquake

Team
Spoiler:


Normal Monotype: Kanto: Update #8

Immediately flew to Viridian City and went to the Gym
Breezed through the trainers and challenged Giovanni

This is the only Gym Leader that actually forced me to use a healing/status item.
His Dugtrio KO'd 2 of my Pokemon with Fissure
I beat it with Fearow, and he sends out Nidoqueen
Nidoqueen uses...Thunder? What? Fearow is KO'd
I use Tauros as a sacrifice to revive Wigglytuff
Wigglytuff Bubblebeams everything else to death

Team
Spoiler:


Normal Monotype: Kanto: Update #9

Defeated Blue outside Viridian City with ease
Made my way to Victory Roade
Got through Victory Road pretty fast
Grinded the Elite Four a few times until I felt capable enough to try for a real run

Lorelei was pretty easy with Clefable
Thunderbolted all her Water types and Fire Blasted Jynx

Bruno was the easiest
Snorlax Surfed the Onixes and Fearow Drill Pecked the Fighting Types

Agatha was pretty easy, too. Snorlax used Earthquake to take down everything, except Golbat
Golbat was defeated with a few Surfs

Lance was pretty difficult, and I honestly though I would be defeated here
Gyarados was easy with Thunderbolt
Aerodactyl was taken out with 2 Surfs
The Dragonairs caused a bit of damage, taking out Snorlax and Tauros
Wigglytuff Ice Beamed them and they fainted
Dragonite Hyper Beamed Wigglytuff and Clefable, leaving me with only Fearow
Fearow got lucky and CH'd Dragonite with Drill Peck twice in a row, knocking it out

Blue was easy, as he had been before
I got a chance to revive all my Pokemon before, so he only took out Tauros this time

Hooray, I'm the new Champion and what not. Great.

FINAL KANTO TEAM
Spoiler:


I would post pictures, but I'm playing from an emulator on my iPod, and I really don't want to go through the taking them off my iPod and uploading them to a image hosting site.

Anyway, KANTO NORMAL MONOTYPE COMPLETE
I'll be starting Crystal then. Wish me luck.

Normal Monotype: Johto: Update #1

Started in Johto with a Totodile
Blazed through to Mr. Pokemon's house and back to New Bark Town, defeating Silver on the way
Caught a Hoothoot on Route 29, named it Arrow
Went to Bell Tower in Violet City and defeated all the Sages with Arrow
After Bell Tower, I challenged Falkner's Gym

Falkner wasn't hard at all. All I did was spam Tackle and that did the trick.

Team
Spoiler:

How did you get an emulator on your iPod? I'd like to know about it. Is it free?

Also, I'm glad that NecrumWarrior FINALLY was able to update the main page (no offence Necrum). I am on an update for my Electric challenge atm.

Update #1: NEVER MAKE ME GO INTO MT. MOON AGAIN!!!

What happened:
Spoiler:

Spoiler:


Alright, that's all for now. I have noticed that I am updating less than usual, like it matters. I'm still doing the challenge, so I guess it doesn't matter when or how often I update. Bye!

I don't actually know the specifics to getting the emulator on an iPod, as I had my friend do it for me. All I know is that the iPod has to be jailbroken.

Normal Monotype: Johto: Update #3

Defeated Silver, returned the Farfetch'd, and made my way through Ilex Forest
Caught a male Jigglypuff, named it Charm
Evolved Arrow into a Noctowl
Caught a female Snubbull, named it Rose
Went all the way back to Cherrygrove City and caught a female Spearow, named it Spirit
Trained Spirit until she evolved into Fearow
Made my way through the National Park, defeated all possible trainers until this point
Went back to Goldenrod and challenged the Gym

Whitney's Clefairy was easy, Rose used Tackle 4 times and it fainted
Miltank's Rollout managed to defeat my Snubbull, Noctowl, and Fearow
Jigglypuff used Sing, which gave Togepi a chance to defeat Miltank

Normal Monotype: Johto: Update #4

After Whitney, I got rid of Noctowl and proceeded straight to Ecruteak City
After defeating all the Kimono Girls in Ecruteak, I challenged the Gym

Pretty easy Gym, with Morty's Haunters helping to defeat themselves with Curse
Snubbull would use Bite, bringing the Haunter to half of its health, then the Haunter would use Curse, knocking it out
Gengar missed all its Hypnosis attacks, which gave me a good chance to bring it down
Snubbull evolved after the battle

I plan to finish Emerald tonight, lets hope I actually go through with it. Emerald is probably my least favorite region, tied with Sinnoh, but the farther I get with my bug types the more I'm enjoying it. Hopefully its the same for Pearl cause thats next. :)

Shell Armor
Strength - X-Scissor
Rock Slide - Shell Smash

Madara (Volcarona M)
Sassy Nature
Lvl 65

Brave Nature

^Really liking the Naruto nicknames you gave to your team.

Normal Monotype: Johto: Update #5

So funny story: I ended up defeating Pryce before Chuck and Jasmine.
First off, I renamed Rose to Violet
Then I caught a Miltank and Tauros, but decided on using only Miltank on my team
After Morty, I went to Olivine, and surfed to Cianwood City
I evolved Togepi and Jigglypuff
I lost to Eusine here and got the SecretPotion thing for Amphy
I returned to the Lighthouse, saved Amphy, and lost my first challenge against Jasmine
I gave up and went to the Lake of Rage, defeating the Red Gyarados
I went to Mahogany Town and did the Team Rocket events here
Then I challenged the Mahogany Town Gym

I'm surprised it was this easy. All of Pryce's Pokemon were defeated with Charm's Rollout

Team
Spoiler:


Normal Monotype: Johto: Update: #6

There's no real update here. I simply went straight to Cianwood and challenged Chuck.

Both Primeape and Poliwrath were taken down with Violet's Strength
Easy battle, and as I said, not much of an update.

Team
Spoiler:


Normal Monotype: Johto: Update #7

Again, not much of an update. Flew to Olivine and challenged Jasmine.

Cream used Surf to defeat all of her Pokemon. Not hard.

Team
Spoiler:


Normal Monotype: Johto: Update #8

After getting 7 badges, I flew back to Goldenrod
I fought my way to the top of the Radio Tower and defeated Team Rocket for the final time
Flew back to Mahogany Town and continued east
Passed through Ice Cave
Arrived in Blackthorn City and challenged the Gym

Clair's Kingdra was pretty difficult...
The 3 Dragonairs were all defeated with Cream's Stomp
I had to put Kingdra to sleep so I could use Rollout on it
Kingdra fainted with Rollout

I hate Kingdras! Juan's Kingdra is the biggest troll ever to exist in all of pokemon!!! I swept through his whole team no problem, except that damn Kingdra! Took me 20 minutes to finish that thing, 20 MINUTES!! Thats like 200 turns!!!

Well anyway I'm back after beating Juan and getting my 8th badge, now off to the Elite Four!! I hope Wallace doesn't troll me as much as Juan did...

Finished Hoenn!! :)

Sadly I won't be able to face Steven like I planned to. After beating Wallace and letting the credits roll I tried to start up the game only to find my save corrupted and erased...

Update on Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Poison).

Update #3 on Black 2.​

  • Went to Reversal Mountain grass, where I caught my final team member, Draken the Skorupi.
  • Explored the Strange House and traveled through Reversal Mountain with Bianca, training Draken up along the way.
  • Eventually, he evolved into Drapion!
  • Arrived in Undella Town and defeated Gorman there.
  • Explored the Bay and Route 14, and trained Portobello up to L50 as a Foongus to learn Spore, then he evolved into Amoongus!
  • Boxed Portobello for my Surf slave Psyduck, then took Route 13 to Lacunosa Town, where I beat Zinzolin and his Grunt partner.
  • Got the Fire Blast TM for Deadhead, then continued on through Route 12, the Village Bridge, and Route 11 to reach Opelucid City.
  • Did a little shopping and training at Shopping Mall Nine, then took on the Opelucid Gym.
  • Drayden wasn't too difficult although Haxorus was tough as usual.
  • Team Plasma tried to send Unova back to the Ice Age, and the DNA Splicers got stolen after I beat Zinzolin again.
  • Went after the Shadow Triad back to Undella Town, took the Marine Tunnel to Humilau City.
  • Trained a bit on Route 22, then took on the gym.
  • Marlon was easy as usual with Draken's Hone Claws+Thunder Fang combo.
  • Got the Colress Machine from Colress back on Route 22, then went through the Seaside Cave to the Plasma Frigate.
  • Got through the gates and defeated Zinzolin with Gorman's help, but they got away again.
  • Withdrew Portobello from the PC, chased Team Plasma to the Giant Chasm, then saved once I got back on the ship.

Hey, here for another update, I can play on my computer again, so here are some screenshots.
Spoiler:

I made a little progress, after catching Horsea, I played Voltorb Flip(I think it's too easy) for another Ice Beam, and I saved right after beating Petrel in the Radio Tower, tomorrow I'm going to keep playing the lottery thing until I get Flash Cannon for Horsea(since it's Tuesdays lottery TM).

Hey Necrum I have a question. Will you allow Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness to be the 3rd gen game of my ultimate challenge. Although they are Spin Off games, I have the access to build a full team and not have one pokemon always with me(unlike some others like Eevee in Conquest).

That game takes place in a region other than Hoenn, and the idea is to play through all the main regions. So no, it doesn't count as 3rd gen. The list of games you can use for each region are listed in the Ultimate section of the first post.

You can do xd any time, it just will be a single challenge, not count as part of ultimate. You don't have to wait if you don't want to.
