[Challenge] Mono-Color Challenge

Today it's been exactly one year since I started my monocolor challenge! To not really celebrate this, here's an update on Sapphire.

My first team member was a Poochyena, who was accompanied by an Aron a bit later. They were pretty good together, but Anorith, the third team member, helped quite a lot once it evolved. While searching for a Relicanth, I encountered a shiny Clamperl! And then I killed it because I can't use it. Anyway, Relicanth was kind of horrible and not really good at all. It had an OK moveset, but it just couldn't seem to do anything. It was so late in the game too, it was pretty worthless adding it to the team. Oh well, at least I'll know in the future.

Onto Pearl!

Lol, sure thing. I'll make my updates more detailed too, so it's not just a summation of the run as a whole. Starting right now!

The Gray Pearls Party, part 1.

♦ Started up the game, picked the male character and chose Chimchar as my starter.
♦ Got the Pokédex from Prof. Rowan, and then headed back home to get the this-is-so-useless-why-did-they-even-put-this-in-the-game Journal before continuing my adventure.
♦ I reached Jubilife and hunted down the 3 clowns scattered around the city, to get the Pokétch.
♦ Skipped almost every trainer on Route 203 to get to Oreburgh as quickly as possible, where I caught the first team member, Beryl the Machop.
♦ After training her up a bit, I challenged the gym and won easily with Karate Chop and Low Kick.
♦ Made my way up to Floaroma, beating up some Galactic grunts and other trainers along the way.
♦ Bought some Honey, and eventually got a Burmy! Named it Garnet.
♦ Trained her a bit as well, and then infiltrated Team Galactic's HQ.
♦ Traversed through Route 205 and the Eterna Forest, where Garnet evolved into a Plant Cloak Wormadam!
♦ Currently saved in Eterna City.

Garnet the Wormadam, Lv 20 (♀)
Item: None
Protect, Tackle, Hidden Power, Bullet Seed


Beryl the Machop, Lv 22 (♀)
Item: None

The Gray Pearls Party, part 2.

♦ Took on Gardenia in the gym, and won with some struggle. I had to rely on Garnet to take care of her, which took some time since it only had Tackle. When her final Pokémon Roserade was down, it grew a level and learned Confusion. What is life
♦ Raided the Galactic HQ pretty quickly, and then went Underground to get an Armor Fossil.
♦ After a really long time (why are they so hard to find?), I got one and went to the Oreburgh Museum, where it got turned into a Shieldon! Named it Niobium.
♦ Went to Hearthome City, training Niobium along the way. Defeated my rival as well.
♦ Continued to Solaceon, and went in the Lost Tower. While in there, Beryl evolved into Machoke!
♦ Made my way to Veilstone, and trained everyone to Lv 30 before taking on the gym. At Lv 30, Niobium evolved into Bastiodon!
♦ Swept the gym with Garnet's Psybeam and Beryl's Vital Throw. Maylene was no match at all.
♦ Helped Dawn with the Galactic Grunts at the Warehouse, and went down to Pastoria City.
♦ About to take on Crasher Wake.

I'll Probably start Sinnoh today.

I was supposed to make an update sooner, but I got so caught up in the game that I actually completed it.

The Gray Pearls Party, final part.

♦ Took on Crasher Wake and won thanks to Beryl and Garnet.
♦ Stalked the Galactic Grunt with the bomb and defeated him, and then received the SecretPotion from Cynthia.
♦ Backtracked to Hearthome City, where I defeated Fantina without a lot of trouble.
♦ Made my way to Solaceon Town, and walked up north to eventually reach Celestic Town.
♦ Defeated the Galactic Grunt near the ruins, and got Surf from Cynthia's grandma.
♦ Taught it to a Buizel and then went west of Jubilife City to capture a Glameow. Named it Amethyst.
♦ Did some Surf sidequests around Sinnoh, training up Amethyst along the way. Eventually, she evolved into a Purugly! With the help of an Evo Editor, Beryl also evolved into a Machamp!
♦ Surfed to Canalave City, defeated my rival and then sailed to Iron Island.
♦ Helped out Riley in there, and then went back to Canalave to take on the gym.
♦ Byron went down without me even breaking a sweat, due to Beryl and her Fighting-moves.
♦ After some chit-chat with Professor Rowan & friends, I went to Lake Valor and defeated Saturn, only to find out that Mars was at Lake Verity. Flied there and beat her.
♦ In order to get to Lake Acuity, I had to trekk north, so that's what I did. I couldn't get into the lakefront, so I went to Snowpoint instead, and took down the gym and its leader, Candice.
♦ After the battle, the lake was no longer blocked, so I went in there and saw Jupiter with my rival. They were both incredibly boring, so I went to Veilstone and infiltrated Galactic's HQ there.
♦ After setting free the Legendary Trio of Sinnoh, I went to the Spear Pillar and defeated Team Galactic once and for all.
♦ The downfall of Galactic made it possible for me to go to Sunyshore City, so I did, and found Volkner at the lighthouse. After convincing him to battle with me, I completely crushed him in the gym with Beryl's Earthquake and Brick Break. He was happy about it, so it's OK.
♦ Made one final strech through Victory Road to reach the Elite Four. But first, my rival wanted a battle that was over pretty quickly.
♦ Aaron wasn't too tough, although it did take a team effort.
♦ Bertha was really easy thanks to Garnet.
♦ Flint also required a team effort, but was still beatable.
♦ Lucian went very smooth until Bronzong came out, whom I had to stall out of Psychics before being able to do something. Other than that, nothing troublesome.
♦ Cynthia was fairly easy as well, although I did get quite lucky with some freezes and other hax.
