Its where you go through the game using only one type, so if you chose water, then you could only use Pokemon that are water types (Piplup, Buizel, etc) to beat all of the gyms and the E4. Its more challenging that way. You can see the first post for more details.

Thanks to a whole lot of Sand Attack hax, I was able to beat Roark with my Starly, she evolved after the battle.

Then I traded over a Scyther and Togepi (for Togekiss, part flying)

Then trained Scyther and Togepi til they were both level 15 like Staravia.

my comp froze so i didnt save ( i did after the 1st gym, but I did a lot of training and beat team galactic at the windworks)

I did have a Bibarel lvl 15 and Prinplup lvl 16, maybe it autosaves idk lol

[Ripper]

Just a new little rule, I think it's best if every Pokemon you have traded only knows normal level up moves, for its level.

Otherwise it becomes quite easy, like in the case of giving Gligar Aerial Ace. From now on, you won't be allowed to teach Pokemon moves that you can't access already, i.e. TMs you find.

 

[Charky-101]

Ok, if u want i can get a new Gligar or just wait till the move deleters to get rid of Aerial Ace.

 

[Ripper]

Just dekete it when he learns a new move I suppose. It'll be really sueful agaisnt Maylene so that's kind of cheating :S

 

[Mimikyu402]

So I defeted Gardenia , and Team galactic in eterna, my traded bagon egg hatched, So I gave it exp share to lv it upp a bit, saved my session in heatome city
Current team:

Gabite"Chompy"
lv 27


Bagon"Tiamat"
lv 12

 

[Bidoofguy]

I've got two questions. Firstly, could I join with water types? I'm bored, so hopefully this'll help pass the time.

And secondly, if you're trading something over, does it need to be in an egg, or can it be hatched already? Only, I've got a level 1 squirtle on my Pearl game ready to trade over, and don't know if the experience boost is counted as 'unfair'.
