Ultimate Solo Challenge

myrrhman · #1 May 21st, 2010, 01:48 AM

Due to the abundance of people that like to sign up for challenges and then disappear, I will now add you after you post your first progress.

Rather surprised that someone hasn't made this thread yet. There were Monotype Challenges and then the Ultimate Monotype Challenge, and there are Solo Challenges and now the Ultimate Solo Challenge. Pick any Pokemon (has to be from one of the first 3 gens, sorry Sinnoh). Now you play through every region using only that Pokemon. Get it at the first opportunity to do so, whether it be via trade, egg, or hacking it in with a Gameshark or Emulator. Just please, if you do the last one, don't be tempted to use any other cheats!!!

For example, because I'm sure someone won't understand. If you pick Sableye as your solo runner, start with FireRed/LeafGreen. Beat one of those with Sableye. Then move to HG/SS. Beat that with Sableye. Then beat RSE with Sableye, and finally beat DPPt with Sableye. Doesn't matter which generation you do, as long as it is in the set.

Rules:
1. Beat all four regions using a single Pokemon. The same Pokemon each time.
2. Only use your solo runner for battling. If you have to be in a double battle, you may use other Pokemon, but they aren't allowed to be trained otherwise, so they'll probably suck and won't do any kind of damage.
3. You are allowed up to three HM slaves. This means you should have 2 empty slots in your party. You may use your HM slaves for reviving purposes, yada yada yada, just don't train them at all.
4. Your challenge ends when you: Beat the elite four in FR/LG, Beat Red in HG/SS, beat the elite four in RSE, and beat the elite four in DPPt.
5. As soon as you post saying "I will do this challenge with __________" you may start. Don't PM me saying "I joined your challenge, plz accept kthx" because that will piss me off and I might "forget" to update saying that you're accepted. When you post, you're accepted.
6. The same applies for any progress that you make. Don't PM me saying "k i beet Red nao update plz." I get on Pokecommunity lots. I will update daily.
7. Please update frequently. Like every other gym or so. If you are the type of person who likes to open up VBA or whatever and just type your post as you go, that is fine, and I don't mind if you make one whole update telling me your whole story. Do NOT, however, say "I beat Fire Red version...I beat Red in Heart Gold." I don't like this. Put some effort into your post and actually tell me how you did. I'm curious.
8. Have fun. This is the most important one of all! Just kidding, the first one is the most important for this challenge

Thanks to Fire Wolf, we have userbars now!! Everyone, say "Thanks, Fire Wolf"

And here is where you'll see your name, the competitor, based on number of games completed (since it really doesn't matter what order you do them in).

This sounds like Fun! Uhh, an idea would be as also another challenge is to defeat the Pokemon Hall in battle frontiers.

Hmm.... I'll do this with Charmander > Charmeleon > Charizard.

May I start on Fire Red?

myrrhman · #3 May 21st, 2010, 05:29 AM

and the first contestant is signed up! Welcome and good luck.

Yeah, I thought about doing something that wasn't main storyline, but I figured that beating all the games with one Pokemon was hard enough. Well, not hard enough, more like long enough.

Safetyfirst · #5 May 24th, 2010, 02:21 AM

Progress report:I met my Charmander in prof. Oaks lab, we won our first fight together against our rival, and we were off on our journey. He was level 10 before reaching Viridian, and I had a Charmeleon by the time I was at Pewter. A lucky break against Brock's Onix using Tackle & Bind instead of Rock Tomb got us our first badge.Going through Mt Moon was a sinch, and I had picked up some HM Slaves, a Pidgey, Clefable & Geodude. A loss against Misty with my level 23 Charmeleon made me angry, so I beat my rival and all the trainers up to Bill. I vsed Misty again with my now level 30 Charmeleon, and I was off to Vermillion. I beat all the trainers on the S.S Anne, including my rival and I got CUT from the Captain. I caught a Diglett in the cave and gave it Cut.We will now see if my Charmeleoon (With moves Ember-Mega Punch-Dig-Metal Claw) can beat Lt Surge, before i evolve it, as I don't want it to be weak to Electric. Wish us luck on our journey!Safety Signing off with Charmeleon

*Edit: Beat Lt. Surge. 1HKO Voltorb & Pikachu, but with a paralysis from pikachu leaving me unable to use Dig. One ember + Mega Punch took care of Raichu, and leveled my Charmeleon to level 34, meaning I got flamethrower =D

mondays suck · #20 June 2nd, 2010, 04:33 PM

Because I'm being a douche about my Brown Nuzlocke and put it on hiatus, I will try this in the meantime to kill time. But, with some slightly edited rules:

1. Team = Solo Runner + 3 Slaves (less if possible)
2. Solo runner faints -> I lose
3. No switching (for healing purposes or whatever)
4. Double Battle? Kill Slaves before doing anything else.
5. No Pickup
6. No recatching for Nature/ability
7. No SRing if things don't go as planned

My Solo Runner shall be Stantler. Yes, that one thing nobody ever cares about.
Version order is Fire Red->Gold->Ruby->Diamond
So, pretty much always the first one.

And here is already my first update

Spoiler:

And here's Nr.2

Spoiler:

Safetyfirst · #21 June 3rd, 2010, 06:31 AM

Sorry I've just been off pokemon a while. I will start emerald as soon as 2 things happens:
1. I figure out how to play GBA games on my DSiXL (anyone know? is it even possible?)
2. I catch a ditto and get an egg of charmander

Why not just emulate Emerald and hack Charmander as a starter into the rom? It's working fine for me with Stantler.

Also, Update is here.

Somehow, I did manage it...

Saffron Stuff.

O_O This has peeked my interest...I'm going to do this with...FARFETCH'D!!!!

...Ehh it's going to be awhile...well I guess I can use an emulator, so I'll start on it in a bit, but I'm doing a monotype challenge at the moment, so I might be preoccupied for a bit.

EDIT: Yellow-Crystal-Emerald-Platinum

mondays suck · #24 June 6th, 2010, 10:45 AM

Fuschia Stuff. Took me quite a while, so many routes...

Spoiler:

Update containing 2 (!) gyms

Next: The Elite 4. First round.

xshadowblitzx · #25 June 6th, 2010, 01:52 PM

Hmmm i'll take you up on this challenge. I'll use Nidokings Family using the Games as Nidoking is pure win. I'm going to be recording this challenge so all rival fights and whatnot will be recorded. Hmm you say that emerald finishes at elite four... can you move onto steven if you wish?

Anyways game order will be

Red>Crystal>Emerald>Platinum

I'm going to start on it now so wish me luck
