Kanto 2/8 Johto 0/16 Hoenn 0/8

Defeated rival twice.

Captured Geodude (HM Slave) and Clefairy (for no particular reason) at Mt. Moon.

[mamoswineftw]

Onto stage 2 of my UMC Poison. Started off Johto on Crystal version.

- Chose Totodile for starter
- When possible, caught Spinarak for my first Poison type
- Caught a Zubat, cause he randomly appeared
- Since I'd set the clock to night time, caught 2 Ghastly's, named Casper II and Spooks
- Grinded up both in Sprout Tower (against their fellow Ghastly) until both learned curse
- Defeated Falkner! Fairly simple with Curse+Hypnosis


Got through Union Cave, boxing Totodile, Spinarak and Zubat since I like a streamlined team.
- Defeated Rockets fairly easily
- Defeated Gym with ease, only moves to affect me in the whole episode were Poison Sting and Fury Cutter


Got through Ilex Forest, taught HM (Totodile) Cut, also withdrew Spinarak to help defeat the Normal Type pokemon just after Ilex Forest
- Defeated trainers in the Underground
- Realised that Nidoran male is only able to be caught during the day, so decided to stop.

Until next time folks! Here's the current team


Casper II
lvl 23
Lick
Hypnosis
Curse
Night Shade


Spooks
lvl 22
Lick
Hypnosis
Mean Look
Night Shade

[Dullstar]

Update 2:

Kanto 3/8 Johto 0/16 Hoenn 0/8

Cleared St. Anne and got Cut.
Found out that Rattata can't learn cut in Gen 1. I'm pretty sure it can in later gens.
Caught Diglett and Sandshrew looking for something that could cut.
Attempted Gym. Went... okay, but had to use HM Slaves to finish off the Raichu.

Team: Wartortle, Lv. 35, Tackle, Bite, Bubble, Water Gun
Gyarados, Lv. 22, Tackle, Splash, Bite

[Jleggy12]

OK, made some progress on Gold, Got 7/16 gym badges, currently in the Goldenrod radio tower taking down Team Rocket. It's been really fun, especially as I've never played Gold before! :D Gone for a small team, as the level curve hikes quite drastically late on it seems, so I'm gonna try and focus my experience so I can get up to Red's level as quickly as possible.

Current team:
Bernard the Feraligatr - Lv 34
Roland the Quagsire - Lv 34
Peter the Staryu - Lv 34 (Dunno if I'm being stupid, but can't find a Water Stone anywhere)
Steve? the Gyarados - Lv 34

I've decided recurring team members will keep their names, with slight changes

Okay, that makes sense.

[WarriorCat]

I finished up my Red portion of my Fire mono a few days ago, but never got to updating, I haven't started Platinum yet, but probably will tonight or tomorrow.

I didn't take any pics because I'm lazy.
Anyways, I beat Gary with my team of:

Charizard Lv.52
-Flamethrower
-Slash
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake

Arcanine Lv.49
-Flamethrower
-Body Slam
-Dig
-Take Down

Flareon Lv.50
-Ember
-Double-Edge(yay, high attack)
-Hyper Beam(yay, high attack, again)
-Toxic

Obviously Charizard got the most use. I'll update Platinum with a lot more detail, and kirax7, I hope you don't mind, I'll use your method of detail, with the difficulty ratings and stuff, I like the way you update. :D

-Whitney wasn’t hard but it was annoying. Damn flinch hax.

[Crackin355]

Wow, this sure got a lot more pages since I last saw it. It was like 11 pages.

It's nice to see someone took over the original post, that last person was inactive.

Seeing my username in the ultimate challenge champion list is making me thinking of starting up another one. I already have all the first gyms done for bug and dark type, with a few of dragons first gyms. Probably Bug since I've never used a bug-type outside of those times.

Sorry dude. I'm gonna have to call foul on this one. I realize you had 2 Fire Pokemon on your team, but you really only used one. You can't just plug a low level Pokemon of your type into your team and call it good, cause that means you still only used one Pokemon of your type. I will update the rules to be more clear on that, but I can't count this run as complete, sorry.

I just reviewed your Johto run as well, and you did the same thing there. Using only your starter is not a Monotype, it's a Solo run. I'm sorry, but I can't count either of those.

Sorry, you can trade in the Nuzleaf because it's in Ruby, but you can't trade in an Umbreon. It's not part of the Hoenn Dex.

@NecrumWarrior

What happens if there is only one of the Pokemon's type in the game. Does that mean we have to get a second of that Pokemon? a.k.a, Hack in Dratini early on for Kanto Dragon Mono, since it's impossible to get it before the third gym but be forced to get a second one later on? If so, that blows. Nice Userbar things by the way, they're better than the previous ones.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, decided to do a Bug Ultimate Challenge. It'll be a nice change since I don't use them normally.

Username: Crackin355
Type: Bug
Challenge: Ultimate
Game(s): LeafGreen, HeartGold, Sapphire, Platinum, Black, (?B2/W2?)

I want to do B2/W2 for each type as well, Since I think even though they are apart of Gen V, they have a lot different Pokemon choice. I feel like it's almost necessary for me, since I see it as a sequel to B/W, instead of how I see Platinum as a slightly altered D/P or Emerald as a slightly altered R/S.

The only problem being that I can't get a ROM of it that doesn't screw up on my R4i. So I'm waiting until someone makes one that works.

Yes it sucks, but this is not a Solo run. When I do the monotypes for types with only one family, I plan to use one NFE. ie Dragonite & Dragonair, Haunter & Gengar.

As for 5th gen, yeah, they are sequals, but it's more about the fact that you are playing the same region rather than about the story. Hell, you even fight the same Elite Four. But that's entirely up to you. I think that's a really cool idea.

[HaiImNate]

Okay, I guess I'll just start over again.

Are you allowed to use HM Slaves in battle as well?
