    It's just like a poison monotype, except very restricted :P

    - Returned to vermilinon, Got a bike voucher and headed north to rock tunnel
    - Did some more un-needed running around to get magikarp to level 19. Evolved afterwards and boxed
    - Went through rock tunnel and the routes leading to/from it with not too much trouble, was running out of PP though! (as expected :P)
    - Defeated Rival @ Pokemon tower with little difficulty, as I had gotten a Hidden Power TM from cut slave and gave it to ivysaur - it has HP electric!
    - Renamed the newly evolved Venusaur "Thunda"
    - Travelled West to celadon and caught a vulpix on the way. Nabbed eevee in celadon (female)

    - Managed to find another tm10, after soft resetting I found out that Weepinbell's HP is Ghost!
    - Defeated the ghost trainers and rockets in the tower with no troubles. Returned to celadon, and caught one of 2 of the Snorlax (female, relaxed).
    - Grabbed the fly hm from the girl who wants her secret spot (that is viewable from cycling road lulz) to remain secret. Dodged all the cycling road trainers (very, very difficult)
    - Headed straight for the Safari zone upon reaching Fuchsia city, caught a male Exeggcute level 24 with gentle nature, a doduo and a chansey (yeah! sweet), obtained surf hm and gold teeth (amongst other items like tm11 sunny day).
    - Taught psychic to exeggcute and flew back to celadon to take out erika and lackeys!
    - Defeated Erika and lackeys with only a bit of annoyance (they just wouldn't be 1 shotted...)
    - Defeated Koga and lackeys (The gym is half psychic...) with some mega annoyance. Gave the warden his teeth back and taught Gyarados Surf and Strength.
    - Flew to Pallet town and surfed down to the grass to catch the somewhat debatebly useful Tangela (Male, Mild, lv 26).
    - Defeated ALL of the trainers on the route north from fuchsia to lavender, caught the 2nd snorlax (Male, Serious <- lulz @ the oppositeness of 1st lax)
    - Headed to Saffron to spearhead the rocket problem in Silph co.

    Quirky, Male, lv 41

    I'll take fighting if no one has yet.

    Is it alright to train a poliwag since Poliwrath is part fighting?

    Edit:
    1. Began journey
    2. Caught Mankey on route 22.
    3. Beat Rival on Route 22.
    4. About to start Viridian forest.

  • Lawl, I wanna do Fighting, pl0x. =DDD

    Seriously, though, it's fun! I have it under control. Pity Third Gen doesn't have No Guard, though...

    *thinks about spamming DynamicPunch*

    So prospective teams, eh?

    Poliwag -> Poliwhirl -> Poliwrath
    Machop -> Machoke (Dammit, no trading? Can't I just trade it there and back? D=)
    Hitmonlee
    Mankey -> Primeape
    Heracross? After E4?

    I just migrated most of my pokemon from my LeafGreen to my Heartgold, and I'm thinking of taking a monotype challenge.

    Sign me up for Grass.
