    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:


    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. :)

  • ^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...

  • 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).

    - Flailed like an idiot in the first gym
    - Traded in Trapinch

    - Got to Goldenrod and played hours of Voltorb Flip (I know how to play now! \o/)

    - Playing more Voltorb Flip

  • 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.
