Type selected: flying
Progress: 3 badges in Yellow

I breezed through Mt. Moon after finally getting a gyarados from the level 5 magikarp i bought for 500 dollars. Butterfree grew very fast, from level 11 to level 19 or so. I had to return to the pokemon center three times because i was running out of PP for confusion. i made it to cerulean where i challenged Misty. Defeated her staryu with butterfree then switched in gyarados to BIDE my time (please not bide is a move) while starmie used tackle. i then proceded north got charmander and quickly got it up to the same level as the rest of my pokes. traveled down to vermillion where i brutally trained in Diglett's Cave (flying type=ground immunity=quick exp=quick level up) getting a level 30 gyarados and level 36 pigeot before capturing an HM slave and moving along to bashing Lt. Surge. Butterfree got KO'd and Fearow came in and Mirror moved a Mega Kick for the win.

where am i now?:
i am currently in Rock Tunnel on my way to Lavender town

Team:
Pigeot lv. 36
Gyarados lv. 30
Fearow lv. 28

Altaria221's monotype challenge
Type selected: flying
Progress: 8 badges in Pokemon Yellow

I am currently at the Elite Four and i will tell the story from where i left off. I made my way through Rock Tunnel without a hitch, made it to Lavender Town and headed west battling every trainer in my way. I made it to Celadon and went straight to the game corner, and battled team rocket using Fearsome (Fearow) and even knocked out both of giovanni's rock type pokemon with him. i then went to Pokemon Tower and grinded my butterfree on the level with the healing zone until he was level 40 (man that was long). I saved Mr. Fuji, went back to celadon and knocked out Erika's gym then continued west and went down cycling road KOing everyone. I then payed a visis to the Safarai zone and got several TM's and Surf. I then challenged Koga and lost my first battle(how emabarrasing XD ), but quickly redeemed myself. I then flew to Pewter City to retrieve the Old Amber then surfed down to Cinnabar from Pallet Town battling every trainer, then i got to Cinnabar and revived Aerodactyl. I then flew to Lavender town and traveled south all along the route and battled every trainer leveling up Aerodactyl from level 30 to about level 43 or so. I then paid a visit to Silph. Co. and defeated Team Rocket. then took to Sabrina to obtain my 6th badge. I quickly defeated her with Pidgeot using Double Edge to one hit KO abra and kadabra and then turned to Butterfree to stall Alakazam with Toxic and Mega Drain.
I traveled to Cinnabar and made my way through the Mansion to get the key, then battled every trainer in Blaine's gym before KOing all of his pokemon with Earthquake.
I then moved back to Viridian City to defeat Giovanni for the final time. I was doing fine until his Nidoqueen and Nidoking attacked with Thunder and Rhydon attacked with Rock Slide which are all super effective against my flying types. After my victory though, thanks to aerodactyl, i proceeded west to battle my rival then take on Victory Road. Instead of boring you with more details, i won and moved through Victory Road real quick. Now I am waiting to challenge the Elite Four.

My Team:
Eruption lv.46 (charizard)
Diver lv.46 (pidgeot)
Aero lv.44 (aerodactyl)
Leviathan lv.48 (gyarados)
Fearsome lv.45 (fearow)
Buggy lv.45 (butterfree)

I will update my entire pokemon team and movesets and stats after I defeat the Elite Four

Elite Four Challenge: These Five battles were the hardest I have ever faced

Lorelei: Her first two pokemon were easily KOed by Leviathan. then Slowbro came in and i put in Fearow and Mirror Moved his Amnesias, then KO'd it Fearow then easily KO'd Jynx with his super high Special stat, however it was knocked out by Lapras crit Blizzard
Bruno: real easy Leviathan ko'd onix one and two, and fearow and pidgeot ko'd the rest with wing attack and drill peck
Agatha: too long and complicated to talk about, but buggy did it.
Lance: His first three pokemon were easy, after KO'ing his last dragonair he sent out Aerodactyl and used Hyper Beam which critted and left Leviathan with 1 HP (Leviathan is beast!!!!) then Dragonite KO'd my entire team (each pokemon once i had to use revives) with a combination of never ending thunders and blizzards.
Rival Blue: I tried to raise my evasivness with Diver, but Sandslash KO'd me while i was stat boosting. I then swichted in the remainder of my team to score type match up KO's
then he sent out Jolteon (slap hand to forehead and say dang it) Jolteon used THUNDER WAVE and I used BODY SLAM we paralyzed each other, his thunder attack missed next then i KO' it using body slam again.

[dookie1995]

Actually, I was wondering if I could join using Ice-Types using a Pokemon Blue ROM. I'm likely stuck using ROMs for Kanto and Johto but I'll probably do the rest on cartridge...

It's likely I'll be taking screenshots too..

[Wyyrlokk]

So this is it, my next update… and, as you may except, it’s my last on Hoenn. Yes, I’ve finished it yesterday. Because some time has passed since my last update, this one is going to be long…

-I reached Lilycove City; visited the Safari Zone and caught a Natu (Male; Lv.29) – I named it Laehydre.
-After I got TM19, I teached Giga Drain to Natu. Natu evolved after reaching Lv.30, I teached Xatu HM02 Fly.
-I visited the Mt. Pyre, defeated Team Aqua and got the Magma Emblem. I went back to Lilycove City to defeat May the last time.
- I went through the Trick House again, then went to Team Magma’s Hideout. There I won against 16 Grunts, Tabitha and Maxie. Groudon woke up and escaped.
- Team Aqua stole the boat in Slateport City. I went back to Lilycove City to Aqua’s Hideout and defeated the Grunts, including their Admin Matt. But Adrian escaped. Of course.
-I travelled on Route 124 to Mossdeep City. I got a Super Rod which I use to catch a Staryu back in Lilycove City to complete my team. Staryu was on Lv.25 and I called it “Nurvent”. Again.
-I challenged Liza and Tate in their gym. As always, Gardevoir did most of the work with her Calm Mind-abuse. I won the Mind Badge. While fighting this… kids… I really missed Sabrina… Afterwards, I visited the Space center and defeated Team Magma the last time. Steven gave me HM08 then, which I teached to Staryu, along with HM03 and TM24 Thunderbolt.
-I found a Blue Shard and changed it for a Water Stone. Nurvent evolved into Starmie!
- I defeat all trainers on Route 124, 125, 127, 128 and 126 to train Nurvent and the rest of my team. On Route 128 I found the Seafloor Cavern. I challenged Team Aqua, but Kyogre woke up and it started to rain. Maxie and Archie started a nice discussion of morality. xD
I reached Sootopolis City and talked to Archie, Maxie, Steven and Wallace. While using Routes 129, 130 and 131, I reached Pacifidlog Town and entered the Sky Pillar. Rayquaza woke up and cleared the situation in Sootopolis City. Everyone was very happy (in fact, everyone without me, cause I loved the rain <<).
-I challenged Juan and won as always with Gardevoir, setting up Calm Mind and OHKOing his team. Except of Kingdra, who was able to stand two Shock waves. The Rain Badge was mine.
-Some formal work to do now: Next rush through the Trick House. Defeating trainers on Routes 132, 133 and 134; Buying a TM24 and a TM 13 in the Casino of Mauville City. (Thunderbolt was for Gardevoir, of course.)
Nurvent learned HM07 with the help of the Move Deleter.
-I reached the Victory Road and defeated 16 trainers, including my “friend” Wally. All too easy, that. xD

Oh. You wanna see an update, right? That was my team to challenge the Elite Four.
-Laehydre (Xatu (m); Lv.47) - Wish, Giga Drain, Fly, Future Sight
-Atendhente (Claydol; Lv.48) - Sand Storm, Cosmic Power, Ancient Power, Psybeam
-Princeps (Grumpig (m); Lv.48) – Psychic, Confuse Ray, Psybeam, Magic Coat
-Maleval (Kadabra (m); Lv.48) – Teleport, Psychic, Recover, Psybeam
-Nurvent (Starmie; Lv.48) – Recover, Thunderbolt, Surf, Ice Beam
-Guinevre (Gardevoir (f); Lv.48) – Calm Mind, Thunderbolt, Double Team, Psychic

Here we go!



The first one in my way was Sidney. Of course it was a question of honour to smash his team. I choosed Gardevoir – but Mightyena roared my Calm Mind away, so I sent out Nurvent (after Laehydre fainted) and surfed the wolf away. Gardevoir then used CM against Shiftry, who was really annoying, overusing Double team and Swagger – I had to cure Gardevoir’s confusion nearly every second round of fighting. The Torment wasn’t helpful either,m I had to use Double Team –Thunderbolt – Double Team – Thunderbolt - … for the rest of the battle against Sidney. Because of Shiftrys Double Team it took many trys to down him with TB. Afterwards, it was easy to OHKO Cacturne, Crawdaunt and Absol. Gardevoir reached Lv.49.
I used berrys to fill up her PPs.

Second was Phoebe, who was a oh so thankful victim to my tactic… her Dusclops used Protect four times in a row, allowing Gardevoir to set up five Calm Minds before she was hit by a Shadow Punch. Then she started using Psychic – four OHKOs against the two Dusclops and the two Banettes. And an OHKO with TB against Sableye. Guinevre reached Lv.51.

Next was Glacia, who had no chance either. Sealeo allowed Guinevre to set up, and then three TBs took down all the seals, whereas two Psychics defeated the two of Satan’s Hockey-mask, Glalie. Guinevre reached Lv.51 and I felt unstoppable.

The last member of the Elite Four – Drake – was the next enemy. I decided to give Nurvent a chance and Guinevre a well-deserved tea break.
Nurvent truly has a movepool to kill dragons, and Shelgon and Flygon falled to the first attack. Then Drake sent out Salamence. Ice Beam took about 7/8 of his health, but then he used Crunch on Nurvent…
It survived with one HP left. Of course the next Ice Beam made sure Salamence wouldn’t get a second chance. Nurvent reached Lv.49. Altaria was OHKOed, too.
Kingdra wasn’t. And in return, of course, he killed Nurvent. This enemy was too dangerous to take a risk, so I choosed Guinevre. She used three CMs to defeat Kingdra with one TB then. The way was free.
I healed my Pokemon.

Wallace was waiting for me. Reanimated Nurvent took down Wailord with two attacks but had no chance against Ludicolo (but paralyzed it), so I changed to Guinevre. Five CMs later Ludicolo couldn’t withstand TB.
He sent out Tentacruel, and that jellyfish was, stupidly, faster than Guinevre. A Sludge Bomb was Wallace’s way to deal with the problem of an overpowered calm-minded Gardevoir, and I suddenly had some serious problems.
I choosed Claydol. My luck was that his first Hydro Pump missed, so I could use Cosmic Power. And than some potions to stall out the next ones. After his PP runned out, I set up with Cosmic Power to its fullest and started to use Psybeam (and Poison Heals, because he had fun with using Toxic…). 2 Full Restores of Wallace to save his Pokemon and about five minutes later Guinevre was avenged (and reanimated, by the way…). Whiscash was a hell, because he stalled himself, so Claydol wasn’t able to do anything against him. I had to choose Guinevre again. Calm Mind helped, but I had to use Double Team also to avoid being killed by the Earthquakes. Still after 6 CMs I had to use three Psychics to break through his amnesia-defensive.
Gyarados and Milotic fainted after one hit with Thunderbolt. Honestly, his team was hard enough to take down anyway. Guinevre reached Lv.52.
I was the Champ of Hoenn now.

So, what’s next? I’m going to post an update of the battle frontier, but I’m going to Sinnoh first.

What? An analysis? Sorry, but I have another idea for it… so only some words of thanks this time.

Xatu, Grumpig, Kadabra – all of them were good fighters, but stood in the shadow of Gardevoir and Starmie. Kadabra had to play the role of the Teleporter, so he couldn’t evolve, which really took him down. Oh captain, my captain… better days will come, I promise it to you. Grumpig was incredible easy to train, that pig reached two levels in the time Gardevoir used to reach one.
Claydol – you stalled out Wallace’s Tentacruel, thank you! This ancient doll has really amazing devensive skills.
Starmie – it was again one hell of a Pokemon, with a amazing movepool and a high Special attack to make a good use of it. After I catched it, it defeated trainers and wild Pokemon, most important Wallace’s Wailord and 4 of Drake’s Pokemon. It is as good as in R/B/Y now again, with TB, Ice Beam and Surf.

Gardevoir – she was *the* Pokemon of this challenge. With her amazing movepool she defeated all eight gym leaders, Sidney, Phoebe and Frosina nearly without help! Drake’s Kingdra and four of Wallace’s Pokemon too. She dominated my team more then a Pokemon in my other challenges ever did and won more important battles than Starmie and Exeggcutor in Blue and Alakazam and Exeggcutor in Gold. That was just outstanding… A Queen of Psychic she is!


So this is it for now. Zammy, will you move me to Sinnoh, please? =)

How is it possible to have non-Fire, Water, and Grass types if the type has to be your starter and without hacks...

[Down with the darkness]

Move me to Johto baby!

Kanto MVP:

Lady (Nidoqueen): Lady turned out to be my most valuable pokemon in Kanto. Her moveset turned out incredibly well, consisting of Thuderbolt, Fireblast, Blizzard, and Surf. She single handedly defeated Lance, killed all but lauralie's Jynx, and even (somehow) managed to kill the invinsible Alakazam. She is my Kanto MVP.

As I told you before, you need to use the same type for every generation. You need to have a Water-Type team in Johto, because that's what you had in Kanto.

In the first post, it states that "When starting your journey in each game, you will have to play the game using just your starter Pokemon. Then, once you gain access to the first available Pokemon of your type, continue from then on with only that type. You can use your starter to help with training these Pokemon, but cease using it in gym battles at this point."

[zZRaoto]

I was thinking about joining this when you first started it but totally forgot about it...I guess I'll join now.

I would like to do the challenge using....(I can't choose between Fire or Water) Umm...Umm.......Umm...............Umm......Fire? No wait...I'll do...Ice. No...Fire. Yeah.....Fire.

I have yet to start for I need to find the emulators and ROMS and stuff....Or until I get the courage to give up my data on Yellow, Gold, and all those other ones. ;o

[Down with the darkness]

Raoto, lol you really do have to write everything you think. Anyway, Let's see who gets to Cynthia first! You may have the advantage of a starter type, but I'm an entire region ahead. Good luck!

And don't use Yellow. I do not suggest yellow

[~Magnus~]

Can i do this for Poison? seems fun I'll start in Firered

1 Question: Do we restart every game or can we trade eggs of pass games to start with those as well so we arent in a crappy situation if there's less of that type in that region?

[itsreallytom]

i dont know what team i will do yet is seaking anygood?

[Down with the darkness]

Sorry to say but you need to catch them anew. I'm doing the same type as you, and I already have four pokemon in Johto before the first gym. Spinarak, Gastly, Zubat, and Bellsprout. It's not that hard to get new pokemon, especialy poison types.
