Did I update correctly or do I need photographic proof?

seems sufficient. You can add as many or little photoproof as you'd like. Although i think having a screenshot/picture of your elite 4 victory (or whatever the last battle in the game is would also be good. (doesn't hurt anyways)
For example: in my Soul Silver run i had an elite 4 pic (for fun) and will have another elite 4 pic (round 2, also for fun) and i'll have a pic of the defeated Red since he's the last stop for my game. - since Red doesn't do a hall of fame style thing i'll just take a pic of what he says after his defeat. Some people take it really far and they have basically pics of each major event. down to everything practically -- and some people even video record all of their progress.

EDIT -> Update
Elite 4 Round 2
Will

Revived and Hyper potioned those who needed it...
Koga

What an epic way to win the elite 4 for the second time around

All there is left to do now is try out red at my current level (lvl 62~64)
If i can't beat him i'll have a long grind fest and then he'll be a cake walk
Edit 2 Update 2
Decided to just try out Red and see how much I needed to train. I ended up beating him. Gengar is definitely my MVP -- he just always had a way out exactly when I needed it. For the battle vs Red, Gengar was my tank and my lock down pokemon. With some planning and a lot of revives, Red was defeated. I didn't do a log for him though cause I honestly thought I nneeded to grind some levels first. I didn't hav my camera ready to snap the ending dialog but I definitely got him. Soul silver poison challenge is done.
I'm not sure which game I'll go to next. I guess we wI'll find out in my next update.

You did it right. I run the challenge and I only post pictures for the Hall Of Fame, and even that isn't necessary. Welcome to the challenge!

Maybe i shouldn't have picked Expert Emerald... The first pokebattle (before i can catch anything) i have to solo May's team of Skitty and Mudkip (i picked torchic and named him HMSLAVE)
We'll see how i do :x I don't think i'll be able to underlevel my way through this one though....
First poison option for Expert Emerald is Oddish (Rt103) and Bellsprout (Rt103) - Both aren't my first choice... Guess we'll go with Oddish for variety's sake since i had Victeebel last game.

Oddish takes a little while to "pick up speed", so to speak, but once it becomes Gloom, you've got a great team member. I'm not keen on poison-types, but I'm going to evolve mine into Vileplume.

NECRUMWARRIOR'S
1 YEAR OF OWNERSHIP

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, it's been one year since I took over the Ultimate Monotype Challenge! I remember how crazy it was, a thread clearly abandoned mere weeks in by it's original owner. After about half a year I decided that someone should do something, so I wrote Sydian an overly formal letter asking permission to take control and whip it into shape! Needless to say she thought it was funny and said yes.

I've dealt with loopholers and miscreants, non readers and hackers. But more importantly I've been able to experience the thrill of letting you wonderful people take on one of the oldest challenges in all of Pokemon existence. It's a rough job but someone has to do it, and I wouldn't give up a single day of it.

So to reward all of you for sticking with me, I'm doing another event! 2 events to be precise, as Christmas is almost here and I want to give all of you a gift.

Once redeemed, all events may be used until the end of the challenge, no matter how long it takes you to finish from when you redeemed it.


One Year Anniversary Event:

Redeemable until Dec 25 at 11:59 PM EST

You may redeem only one of two codes for this event, and you may only use these codes for a single run. Simply place the code phrase into one of your posts to redeem.

Codes:
1. I need an extra boost!
(This code may be redeemed for the right to trade or hack any one non legendary, National Pokedex Pokemon with whatever egg moves, IVs, shininess you like, as long as it's a legal combination. The Pokemon should be equal to or below the highest level Pokemon on your team when you receive it)
2. It's going to be LEGEN- wait for it... DARY!
(This code may be redeemed for the opportunity to catch a legendary Pokemon in your game which corresponds to your type and use it for the duration of the challenge.)


Merry Christmas Event:
Redeemable until Dec 31 at 11:59 PM EST
This code may be redeemed once per player for use in a single run. Simply place the code phrase somewhere in your post to redeem. This code may be redeemed in addition to the previous ones.

Code:
Merry Monotype Christmas, everyone!

So I started a dark monotype on Soulsilver... Umbreon sucks as a battler though (sorry Umbry lovers but it's the truth) so I think I need an extra boost! Corphish, I choose you!

" You may redeem only one of two codes for this event, and you may only use these codes for a single run. Simply place the code phrase into one of your posts to redeem."

Does this mean we're not allowed to use these codes during a Ultimate Monotype Challenge ? (if just use in one game)

By the way, congratulations ^^

It means you can only apply it to one game play through. It can be used in an ultimate but not redeemed for the entire ultimate. Also you accidentally double posted.

Thanks NecrumWarrior, I understand now. And the double post was unintended x)
So, I need an extra boost ! This will apply for my Monotype challenge on Emerald.
And Merry Monotype Christmas everyone ! I save this one for a later run :3

Also I have another question : is it possible to count a Monotype Challenge performed on a romhack ? (such as Volt White 2)

I'm switching my Gen V fire game to Black so that I can use this code to use Reshiram against N and Ghetsis.

7. Hacked ROMs are acceptable for this challenge. However, total hacks (Brown Version, Light Platinum, etc) are only acceptable for Single Challenges. Hacks that feature existing regions, whether they are remakes or complete Pokedex hacks (Blaze Black, Skeetendo's Christmas Hack, LiquidCrystal, etc), are acceptable for the Ultimate Challenge, as long as it corresponds to a region you have not completed.
This should answer your question.

This could be hard..... oh well. Decided that Because Shelgon has the highest final evo level, that Bagon would be my starter.
