    @ekriptor: why dont you just use onix and scyther till you get to ecruteak, and get metal coats from wild magnemites (they've 5% chance to hold one, you can combine finding ~40 magnemites with training against all those raticates and miltanks and so you dont have to trade to get the metal coats, you get them on your own) and then trading should be allowed, it won't be much different from trading a kadabra/graveler/etc so it evolves and trading it back

  • Update #3

    New update. Just got finished with the Elite 4 on Platinum, so I'm going to try to work on this full time.

    Just got into Goldenrod, and after a bit of lvling, faced Whitney.

    Gold/Silver/Crystal Monotype Challenge
    <==*thinking"Eh...then why become a gym leader...?*

    After going back and forth to grab the squirtbottle, I went to Ecruteak City and leveled some more. And my update is done.
    Gold/Silver/Crystal Monotype Challenge

    Oh talked to Bill, went back into Goldenrod and grabbed Eevee. I'll evolve it to Vaporeon on the next update.

  • MONOTYPE CHALLENGE - POISON

    Started off with a Totodile but quickly caught a Zubat.

    Gastly was next to be caught (night time)

    Was okay in Bellsprout Tower, Zubat can't do much at the moment so it was mainly Gastly

    Went to the Flying Type Gym, was very tricky but I sent them to sleep with Gastly and used Bellsprout and Zubat to take them down. I used a lot of potions, spending all my money. First Gym complete!

  • Right, i got alot done in 2 days, thanks to the speed-up option on the emulator... I started yesterday, and today i'm in the Rocket Hideout in Mahogany..! Lol. In the route before Goldenrod, I caught a ditto, and bred my Quilava with it for 2 eggs. As I've said i'm alot further now, so here's my current team-
    Typhlosion lv 37
    Growlithe lv 31
    Quilava lv 20
    Quilava lv 20. I also have 2 HM slaves- Hoothoot lv 15, and Poliwag lv 4.

    I don't think it was specified that we couldn't use double speed to get it done, but it's not a race so i assumed it didn't matter...
