Ultimate Monotype Challenge

Fire Monotype Challenge: Part Eighteen - Fire and Water

Trainer Name: Seb

Generation: I (on Blue)
Location: The Indigo Plateau

Battle Against Rival Holden:

• Epic music and... wait. He has a new sprite? That's not fair.
• Sent out Ringo against his Pidgeot. Wanted someone that could hit hard and fast. Critical Flamethrower was a 1HKO.
• Switched to Felix for Alakazam. Surprisingly, Body Slam was a near 1HKO. Psychic and Psybeam brought me down to 93 HP, which wasn't too bad.
• Back to Ringo for his Rhydon. Earthquake only did about half. He only use Fury Attack. Unfortunately, the next Earthquake left him with 1HP (this seems to be a recurring theme in my playthrough...). Well, Rhydon use Tail Whip (lulz) and it missed, and he also didn't heal up.
• Sent out Trixie for Arcanine. She used Dig (left him in the low yellow) and he used Leer. Only took one more Dig, which was also a Critical. That's another recurring theme; getting Crits when I don't need them!
• Kept her in for Exeggutor and... Flamethrower didn't KO? And Hypnosis hit? I thought it had horrible accuracy. Played the Poke Flute to wake Trixie up. Damn Exeggutor used Hypnosis again. Finally, it used Stomp and I let it die a horrible painful death fainted it with another Flamethrower.
• Here's the big one. I sent out Felix for a Toxic. And... it missed. Blastoise used Withdraw, which is also bad. I was counting on Physical attacks. The next Toxic hit, though. It continued to Withdraw, so I figured I'd try a Flamethrower. It still used Withdraw. The next Flamethrower put it in the low yellow. Then it used Hydro Pump (every Hydro Pump in this playthrough has hit so far. Wtf.) Felix fainted and I sent out Ringo. His Flamethrower was enough to finish the job. AND he grew another level.

It's finally over. So long to Kanto. Please move me to Johto. We're 1/4th of the way there.

Battle Against Mewtwo (Attempt 1):

• We haven't forgotten about our favorite failed genetic experiment. I plan to capture it. Unfortunately, the only status ailment that I can use ease its capture is Felix's Toxic, which isn't ideal for two reasons. One, it causes damage. Secondly, the damage increases. Well, let's try it.
• Felix is up front and I set up Toxic while it used Barrier. It continued to use Barrier, so I tried a Flamethrower which Critical'd. It used Psychic which brought me under half, then it healed. It healed and I used Flamethrower bringing it back to the yellow. It finished Felix off with Psychic.
• I brought out Trixie and Mewtwo used Swift. Then, Trixie's Flamethrower Critical'd and fainted Mewtwo... Darn.

Battle Against Mewtwo (Attempt 2):

• Once more with feeling. Mewtwo wasted his first turn with Recover while I set up Toxic. He used Barrier while I used Flamethrower, and he kept using Recover over and over again. Finally, Flamethrower and Toxic together brought Mewtwo in the red, so I threw and Ultra Ball... which missed. I was worried that Toxic would KO Mewtwo, but he used Recover. Toxic brought Mewtwo back in the yellow, but I didn't want to put any more damage on it. I threw an Ultra Ball just to waste a turn, but it actually worked and it caught Mewtwo... that was way easier than in FR!

So, I flew to Viridian City and released all my fellow HM Slaves and even Mewtwo to wreck havoc on the city. I walked back to Pallet Town, said hello to my mom, and I went upstairs to play my SNES. Ringo, Trixie, and Felix. You were awesome.

The End of Kanto

Fire Monotype Challenge - The Beginning !

Trainer Name - David
Badges - 0
Generation: 1 !
Location: Pallet Town - Viridian City

It begins !:

• I gain my name... David .
• I name my Rival Izzy for some odd reason .
• The famous shrink down happens ! [:
• I pick my first pokemon, Charmander !
• I pwn Izzy =D
• I make Pidgey's and Rattata's go extinct .
• I gain a Parcel to deliver to Prof.Oak
• I fight my Rival Izzy, he seems to have caught a Pidgey and leveled his Squirtle up a bit . A single Ember KO's his blasted bird, and two Scratches KO's his water turtle [:

----------------------Next up, Viridian Forest !--------------------------

I would like to take on the Fire monotype challenge then.

However, am I allowed to make atleast one trade so I can get Charmander because I will be on Platinum...

Finally!

So I just got back to this, and after much level grinding, I managed beat the Kanto Elite Four!

Raticate (Lv. 58)
Clefable (Lv. 56)
Snorlax (Lv. 58)
Tauros (Lv. 57)


Snorlax's Toxic/Rest combo saved me on multiple occasions. Clefable was amazing throughout the game, and Raticate caused some big damage. Tauros was pretty good too.

I'll be ready to start Johto now.

Ultimate Monotype Challenge Water:
Book 1 Chapter 3: A Bridge, A Maniac and a Watery Tart!

So when we last left off, I was just coming to Cerulean to show Misty a thing or to, but before I get to that, I decided to check out what new and exciting opportunities await me in this new place. Well, I immediately noted a bridge filled with several trainers and on my way up, out of nowhere my rival appears and brags about his pokemon being superior but I wiped him with just Dennis. I trained my Magikarp in an attempt to bring it closer to evolving. I went all up and down that route showing various trainers a thing or two.

After the wake of destruction I had left in my pass, I was pleased to learn that Magikarp had leveled up enough to finally attack, and better yet do it with his monstrous attack stat of 10…(GameFreak had no troubles programming him.) So I trained him more with Misty's trainers in her gym and went on my way to face Misty.

Misty was easy, her Staryu went down in two bites and her Starmie went down in one. Not much, got the water pulse TM which I will teach to my Gyarados, eventually. With Misty left in my wake, muhahaha, I went through a robbed house, I figured they had more to worry about, and fought a rocket grunt who was reluctant to give me back TM28, dig, used on Wartortle for Surge. So I went through an underground tunnel and wound up close to Vermillion City. I had to battle various campers and bug catchers but, not only did I get there, I got there with a brand new Gyarados. I stand perched ready to explore the S.S. Anne and take on Lt. Surge.

How far along are you? Once you get the red scale, underleveled won't be a problem - When I went through Crystal on the water challenge, I had the Extremespeed Dratini hold the Exp.Share to the end... too bad I lost my data for that challenge.

Currently, I'm getting Surf from the Kimono Girls.

But yeah, I decided to ditch the useless Electrics. I think I won't get Electabuzz either. It's only level 15-17. >___<

Oh well, I'm sure it's doable with just Lanturn and Ampharos. :)

I can't wait for 3rd gen though. <___<


I absolutely loved 1st gen, it's my favorite gen of all time. =D

the rules said

no trading and you have tostart on kanto to jhoto to hoenn to sinnoh

To be specific, the rules say no trading if you can get a pokemon of the chosen type before the second gym of the game. But yeah, Kanto first. If you just want to do Sinnoh, there should be a Monotype Challenge thread over in the 4th Gen Threads area for it.

There is no mono type challenge in the Sinnoh thread. Only a solo runner (1 Pokemon) challenge. I came here to have a little fun, I can't help I don't where my Blue version or Gameboy is. I haven't touched it in ages and we've moved from 2 different houses since I last have seen it.

I don't see how it's fair to "make" you play Kanto first. What's it matter where you start?

So I decided on fire instead, and thanks to using an emulator, beat the E4 in just an hour on Red version.

Here's what I used...


Charizard Level 76
Attacks:
Strength
Flamethrower
Body Slam
Dig

...I didn't really feel like doing much in generation one, compared to how the game is now, it feels so ancient, especially the way HM moves and the bags are.

I actually had trouble against Koga and his stupid minimize, it knocked out Charizard the first time when I used dig and it missed, while on the E4 is was pretty much just one shotting everything, Matt's (my rival) Blastoise was the only thing that even worried me, and I got it in two hits.

Anyway, I'll start on generation two later...

actually forget wat i sed about poison i will stick with grass ok?

Good news, found Crystal version! Yay!

Ultimate Monotype Challenge Water
Book 1 Chapter 4: Bon Voyage Vermillion.

I arrived in Vermillion with my new Gyarados, got me pokemonz heald. Then I went to the SS Anne. Once Aboard I fought all the trainers with relative ease, the few who had a Pikachu were a little problem, only because of static. I found my way to my rival, easily destroyed his first two pokemon with a few bites and water pulses. Ivysaur gave me a bit of trouble. I switched into Wartortle, because he knows dig, but Ivysaur had to be a pain the you know what, and after I used dig, it used leech seed, I thought, whatevs, I can still kill it first, then it used sleep powder, and kept vine whipping me, and naturally, I stayed asleep for all 5 turns, and promptly died. Switched to Gyarados, used water pulse until confusion set in, then tackled it to death. Bit the Kadabra and it died in one hit. I rubbed the captain's back, apparently severe sea sickness is the easiest thing to cure, and got HM01 Cut. Went back to Vermillion, went east and caught a Spearow and a Drowzee. Traded Spearow for a Farfetch'd to be used as an HM slave for fly/cut. Drowzee will be used for flash and if possible, strength and rock smash.

I decided, despite the odds being against me, I would fight Lt. Surge, not like I have much choice, and I took down the trainers with ease, 1 dig owns all electric types. I unlocked the gate with relative ease, only took three tries, and battled Lt. Surge. Like I said 1 dig owns all electrics. Easy battle, got badge and shockwave, which probably won't be used until I get a Starmie.

I decided not to bother with the bike for two reasons:
1) B Button > bike
2) No cycling road, which I will probably regret for lack of exp.
I need to go and catch a few crap pokemon for my pokedex so I can get flash and be on my way to rock tunnel and Lavender town and beyond.
