So here's the champion team:

Username: xVaporeon
Color: Blue
Game: Sapphire
Ultimate: Maybe :p

I'll have to wait a bit, though. Emulator is playing up and I'm a noob when it comes to re-setting the sound and in-game footage.. I've pressed something wrong, the music and the video is all messed up and jerky.

I've completed HeartGold. My team consisted of Meganium, Politoed, Xatu and Tyranitar. I really loved this team, it had a nice coverage with some defensive dudes and some offensive dudes.
Anyway, Johto was over very quickly, and Kanto even quicker. After I was done with both regions, I collected numbers from Gym Leaders and rebattled them. I'm glad you can battle them as many times as you like when they're free, otherwise this would've been a pain. When everyone was Lv 65, I went to face Red.

Emerald down! Started off with Treecko, and caught a Lotad soon after. Other team members included Lileep, Tropius and Kecleon. I usually don't use this many Pokémon, which made this challenge so much more fun, since I wasn't as overlevelled as I usually am. Everyone in the team had their strong points, such as Sceptile and Ludicolo being powerhouses, while Cradily was more of a tank. Tropius was a Pokémon that I was thinking about dropping, because it wasn't that useful. In the end I decided to keep it, because with some better moves it made itself useable here and there. Kecleon was way better than I expected, and I had some fun with its Color Change ability. It's definitely a Pokémon I'll consider using again.

My team members were around Lv 51-52 when I entered the Pokémon League. Drake and Wallace were definitely the most annoying ones, but I prevailed in the end.

The Sinnoh section of my Green monocolor challenge is now over. I had a pretty easy ride all the way through, until I got to the Elite Four. Things really started to become complicated there, but Bronzong with its massive defense stats pulled through. It was definitely my most valuable Pokémon in this run, especially considering that it had Heatproof and that all of my other team members were part Grass-type.

By the way, I'll be playing White 2 instead of Black 2, so I can use Reuniclus.

My Green challenge is now over, as I finished playing just a while ago. I had very much fun with this challenge, almost using a full team and trying out new Pokémon that I've been meaning to use for a while. Reuniclus was amazing, even in its previous stages. Garbodor was pretty good, but its ability Weak Armor was a hinderance sometimes, along with a pretty shabby moveset. Although, I was incredibly impressed of Basculin and its capabilities. I had no idea it could be so good. I'll definitely be using it again.

I abused the Lucky Egg ever since I got it in Mistralton City, and therefore I had a level advantage at the end of the game. Not a huge one, but it most certainly helped and was crucial at points, such as in the battle with Iris where some Pokémon survived with ~10 HP. I was supposed to have a video of the battle, but it was too long because of her Hydreigon.

My next color will be Gray. I'll go with FireRed, Crystal, Sapphire, Pearl and White 2.

Update on Ultimate Monocolor Challenge (Black).

Final Update (#2) on Emerald.

• Started in the desert, where I caught Astrodoll the Baltoy.
• Trained it up for a bit, then challenged my dad's gym in Petalburg City.
• Norman wasn't too hard once I got past Slaking, Cruncher walls that gym for the most part.
• Continued on to the water routes, and Astrodoll evolved into Claydol.
• Went to Fortree City, where Astrodoll soloed Winona easily with Ice Beam.
• Moved on to Lilycove City & Mt. Pyre, where I caught my final two team members: Evil Eye the Duskull & Marionette the Shuppet.
• Started training them up on the trainers around the mountain, and entirely by chance encountered a SHINY SHUPPET!
• Ditched my current Marionette for the shiny Shuppet, which I also named Marionette.
• Grinded her up on some trainers I forgot to battle earlier and some rematches.
• Went to the top of Mt. Pyre and got the Magma Emblem.
• Infiltrated the Magma Hideout on Mt. Chimney, Groudon flew off somewhere, then I defeated Maxie rather easily.
• Team Aqua was up to no good now, and I cleared out their Hideout next to Lilycove City as well.
• Surfed to Mossdeep City, where I took on the gym.
• Tate and Liza were tough, but I was able to defeat them thanks to all the coverage moves I had.
• Beat Team Magma at the Rocket Center, then went diving for the Underwater Cavern, and Marionette finally evolved into Banette!
• Defeated Archie easily with Cruncher, and Kyogre flew off to battle Groudon.
• Made my way to Sootopolis, told Wallace about the Sky Pillar, then went there as well to awaken Rayquaza.
• After Groudon and Kyogre calmed down, I took on the gym, and Juan was easily soled by Asmodeus' Giga Drain and Crunch.
• Soon afterwards, Evil Eye evolved into Dusclops!
• Beat some more trainers in Meteor Falls, then went to Victory Road, where I beat Wally easily with Astrodoll.
• Made it through Victory Road without any problems to the Pokemon League.
• Did some moveset finalizing and got everyone to L54 with Rare Candies, then took on the Elite Four.
• Sidney was easily soloed by Asmodeus.
• Pheobe was easily soloed by Marionette.
• Glacia was tough, but I eventually pulled it out at the end with Marionette.
• Drake was taken down by Evil Eye and Astrodoll's Ice Beam moves.
• Finally it was time to face the Champion, Wallace. I did record this really tough fight, so here you go:

Gray for FireRed is now over with. Hacked in a Magnemite in the beginning and caught a Rhyhorn later on. I just stuck with those two, they were a pretty good combo, and I didn't run into any problems. I thought Bruno was going to be disastrous, but he was actually pretty easy. The Champion was a complete joke, the only problem I encountered was Exeggutor. I have a video of the fight here:



Team:

Chromium the Magneton, Lv 70
Item: None
Thunderbolt, Thunder, Thunder Wave, Return


Tourmaline the Rhydon, Lv 69 (♀)
Item: None
Earthquake, Brick Break, Megahorn, Rock Slide

Alright, just defeated Red on Crystal for my Gray challenge. He was pretty tough, I had to stall some of his Pokémon out of some moves before I could do anything against them. It was a team effort, but no one really stood out that much. I wish I would have used Steelix, but I can only blame myself for not making sure that I could evolve it before actually starting the game. Onix wasn't bad, but I feel like that extra power and new type really could have helped sometimes. Oh well, I tried to make the best of the situation, and it didn't turn out all that bad.
