    Well I just started 2 hours ago and already reached the 4th gym, having I bit of trouble with Misty and traversing the Rock Tunnel without using a flash slave but somehow I made it to Celedon. Most likely will grind a bit before taking Erika on but I feel strangely certain that it's capable of taking out the 4th-5th gyms as it is. Also as soon as I get fly rattata will pretty much be box'd and never used again.
    Anyways onto my current team.

    Pidgeot Lv36: Wing Attack, Feather Dance, Aerial Ace, Toxic

    Kadabra Lv37: Reflect, Shock Wave, Recover, Psychic

    Primeape Lv36: Seismic Toss, Focus Energy, Brick Break, Karate Chop

    Graveler Lv36: Brick Break, Defense Curl, Magnitude, Rock Slide

    Growlithe Lv24 (Will evolve as soon as it learns Flame Wheel): Ember, Bite, Roar, Odor Sleuth

    Ratata Lv4: Growl, Tackle, Cut

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

    Still need to obtain:
    Arcanine
    Kabuto/Kabutops

    Well another update for Brown team. I have taken on Erika with my newly evolved Arcanine and proceeded to kick Team Rocket out of Celedon, Lavender, and Saffron. I beat Koga and Sabrina as well, grinded my team to 50 and sailed off to Cinnabar on my surf slave (since I no longer need cut for a long time I box'd Rattata). Once there I obtained my Kabuto and as of now am training it to Lv. 50.

    Current Team:
    Arcanine (m) Lv50: Bite, Take Down, Odor Sleuth, Flame Wheel
    Primeape (f) Lv50: Karate Chop, Strength, Brick Break, Swagger
    Kadabra (m) Lv50: Psychic, Shadow Ball, Recover, Shock Wave

    Oh! I am very sorry, I didnt realise that.

    EDIT:
    I have now defeated the Elite Four after finally beating Wallace's near indestructible Tentacruel with Earthquake. (Three grass Pokémon against a Tentacruel is a bad idea).

    Final Team:

    Sceptile (M) Lv54: Absorb, Leaf Blade, Slam, Earthquake.
    Flygon (F) Lv49: Faint Attack, Giga Drain, Crunch, Dragonbreath.
    Breloom (M) Lv48: Mega Drain, Headbutt, Sky Uppercut, Leech Seed.
    Cacturne (M) Lv48: Faint Attack, Absorb, Leech Seed, Needle Arm.
    Tropius (M) Lv25: Fly, Flash, Strength, Rock Smash.
    Tentacool (F) Lv9: Dive, Waterfall, Surf, Cut.

    I may start another challenge on here soon because this one was really fun.

    Team Brown Update:
    Sadly this is the final update. But the good news?
    I successfully finished the game with the Brown only team, took awhile since I was busy with other stuff after my last one but I came around to finish it. The first few Elite members were somewhat easy for the most part since my guys where only in the low 60's (63 by the end) but their movesets proved helpful. Here are some screen caps to commemorate the moment.

    3rd Generation MonoColour Challenge


    Here is my final team.
    Primeape (Chestnut) Lv63/ @Leftovers/ Nature: Hardy
    Moveset: Thunderbolt, Brick Break, Thrash, Strength

    Kadabra (Taboo) Lv63/ @Nothing/ Nature: Hasty
    Moveset: Psychic, Recover, Shadow Ball, Shockwave

    Pidgeot (Gale) Lv62/ @Nothing/ Nature: Timid
    Moveset: Fly, Steel Wing, Toxic, Featherdance

    Graveler (Quarry) Lv62/ @Leftovers/ Nature: Careful
    Moveset: Earthquake, Rockslide, Double-Edge, Brick Break

    Arcanine Lv63/ @Rawst Berry/ Nature: Naughty
    Moveset: Flamethrower, Flame Wheel, Odor Sleuth, Bite

    Kabuto (Sickle) Lv63/ @Nothing/ Nature: Quirky
    Moveset: Metal Sound, Ice Beam, Slash, Surf

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

    And here is the end game results..

    3rd Generation MonoColour Challenge


    Ended with a time of 41:26, pretty pleased with it. This challenge was sad to say easy. But it was fun participating in it, and I give my thanks to you for putting this up.

    Levelled everyone up to 42 and cleared everything up to and including Silph. Co, spent the obligatary $500 to get into the Safari Zone and obtained HMs 3 + 4... Now just about to challenge Koga.

    Why would you people want to do this crap. This is the worst challenge on here. How are you supposed to get hm slaves when the sprites you can use are super limited. The only one that can learn ALL of the mandatory HM's (except for cut) is Gyrados, which is blue. With most colors, the options are limited to a single type. So you might as well just do a monotype challenge. And why would you want to use a water stone a Staryu the second you get the water stone. You might as well just release it because its not useable without tms if you evolve staryu too early.

    Right. Due to a small issue I was having with another poster, I chose not to announce I would be doing a Brown challenge on Ruby. Or that I finished it. I did it, and will be providing the video of me beating the elite four with Geodude, Baltoy, and Zigzagoon. (It was also a Trio and Unevo challenge) I'll probably post that tomorrow or whenever I get a chance.
