i'm thinking about getting another haunter with different moves but i'm still not sure...

quick question
when I play silver could I please hack in misdreavus at the beginning of the game? I know I can get a gastly before the first gym but I can't get a misdreavus until I get all the 16 badges, and I want to have something other than haunters before then

Sorry, you need to keep it self contained. Only trading allowed is for Pokemon available in the opposite version, getting a Pokemon when your type isn't before the third gym, and evolutions.

Sorry, no. I have to hold everyone to the same standard. Everyone else who did mono ghost had to do it too. If you want to use Misdreavus you could always play HeartGold or SoulSilver since those games have Misdreavus on the path to Safari Zone.

-- Update 3 --​

Finally beat Red with Monotype Bug! Very surprised by where I had trouble, which was really only Lorelei, it was terrible! I had absolutely zero trouble from any other boss, but jeez, her Ice moves are terrible. Bug was really useful first gen, strong against so much.

~-~ Team ~-~

Spoiler:


~-~ Team Synopsis ~-~​


MVP - Gambit
Spr_1b_123.png

Slash - Swords Dance
Leer - Rage

For the time it took to save up the money for Gambit, he was worth it. Gambit's best feature was the absolute Speed hacks he got for Criticals. Since they were based on Speed instead of Luck, every Slash from Gambit was a Critical, making him a devastating force. Gambit ended at the highest level, and had two stats over 140, acing through Pokemon that should kill him normally. Slash was clearly the main move, and pretty much the only move I ever used. Swords Dance, Leer, and Rage just kind of happened, but never actually helped because of how the Criticals worked first gen. If Criticals worked this way in other games, I would use a Scyther every time.

LVP - Sgt. Sting
Spr_1b_015.png

Poison Sting - Twineedle
Pin Missile - Skull Bash

I expected Sgt. Sting to become obsolete, but he really served his use for the first 6 gyms much better than I expected he would. With Bug type's incredible power in the first generation, he was the wild card that took down Poison, Psychic, and Ghost types with ease. However, his low stats really shined once we got to the Elite Four, and I had counted on him to take out Agatha. However, he didn't do really anything for the last stretch of the game, and unfortunately got placed as LVP because of it. Poison Sting was never really used, and was simply a relic of his old Weedle days. Twineedle was Sgt. Sting's best attack, as it was both powerful, hit twice, and could poison. Because of this, Twineedle was Sgt. Sting's main attack, and was quite useful while Sgt. Sting was helpful. Pin Missile was Sgt. Sting's other Bug type move, and was used on bulkier Pokemon with more health, since it had the chance to hit 5 times. Skull Bash was very useful, as it allowed me to hit targets that Poison Sting and the Bug moves didn't do well with. Sgt. Sting was extremely useful as an early Pokemon, but just became unusable as the late part of the game progressed. I could see using him again, but not as a permanent member of my team.

Margarine
Spr_1b_012.png

Solarbeam - Psychic
Toxic - Sleep Powder

Margarine was a useful Pokemon on my team, especially as it was my main Special attacking force. Both of Margarine's offensive moves, Psychic and Solarbeam, provided excellent coverage from Poison and Rock types, both being boosted by an impressive Special stat. In addition, Toxic and Sleep Powder saw their use too, especially in the Elite Four, making it actually possible to beat some of the tougher Pokemon. Butterfree was very good in this generation, however most of her Special stat went into Special Defense, not Attack, making Butterfree a much less useful Pokemon. Playing Red, I would love to use her again.

Fun Guy
Spr_1b_047.png


Slash - Mega Drain
Spore - Dig

Fun Guy was a very good balanced attacker on my team, having high Attack and Special, complementing Slash and Mega Drain nicely. Slash was my basic move, since it had the highest PP, but whenever I had type advantage, I would go for Dig on Fire types and Mega Drain on Rock and Water types. Spore was a very tactical move, and actually made it possible to defeat Lorelei's absurd Pokemon. Even with 3 quad weaknesses, Fun Guy made an excellent addition to the team, and I would gladly use him again in a later game.​

Alright, well Red is now finished! Onwards to Crystal!

UPDATE #4

Elite 4 Completed!!

-After some MAJOR grinding and a few attempts, my team FINALLY beat the Elite 4!! (:
-Lorelei was fairly easy since I had Guppie. He was MVP for this battle. (:
-Battling Bruno was also fairly easy... Once again, Guppie proved himself. Subsequently, he was also MVP.
-Agatha... was a pain in the ass. D: Guppie was useful since he had moves that could hit the ghosts... And hypnosis was helpful. Baxter also shone through a bit... But his Special stat was abysmal. So there's that...
-Lance. Oh Lance. Lance Crackers. Ice Beam saved my fannie for this one!

Over all, Guppie was my main guy. Everyone else just kind of acted as support and a scapegoat when I needed to switch or heal.

FINAL TEAM:

Poliwrath (Guppie) - Lvl. 64
-Ice Beam
-Hypnosis
-Surf
-Body Slam

So I accidentally screwed up while trying to update, and lost all the stuff I was going to add. I may try again in a while, but more likely I will just update tomorrow instead. fml

Also, congrats to WarriorCat, our newest Ultimate Champion, and jdthebud for completing another Ultimate!

I got bored so I started another monotype on pokemon yellow. It's an electric monotype, cuz I figured with getting Pikachu straight off and feeling a bit nostalgic, it would be fun. Of course, now I have to try to figure out how to set off the sprinklers in Brock's gym. I'll finish the other monotypes eventually, I swear! (After starting another 2 or 3, probably, lol.)
