    I'm not even up to Mt. Moon and Drowzee is level 17. I'm pretty sure I'll beat Misty easily. After all, Hypno is one of the Kings/Queens of Special Walling.

    And wow, only Grass is left. Someone probably will take it by tomorrow afternoon, though. I'm just glad I got Psychic.

    you can only have one of each species. You can have a Mankey and a Primeape on your team, but you cannot have two Mankeys or two Primeapes.

    ok.
    but can i keep both in my team until one of them evolves, and keep the other one as a mankey?

    or do i have to take one out of my team?

    Romanwhiz... I am despising you right now. I fell asleep for a couple hours, and you are already at FUCHSIA?!!? I'M HAVING TROUBLE LEVELING UP PIKA TO 20!... lol. Nice work though :)

    Lol, well i applaude your efforts, training a Pikachu alone. The fight scene in the Anime against Brock was child's play compared to you, I'm sure.

    Dang, that's pretty nice. My team in my cartridge LG is only level 28 and I'm up to Fuscia City already.

    Anyways, I got a Hypno, yay.

    EDIT:

    No screenshots this time, boohoo.

    - Bought Magikarp (Strength/Surf/Waterfall/Rock Smash slave if it can learn all of those)
    - Traveled through Mt. Moon, beat the Rockets.
    - Picked Dome Fossil from the crazy Rocket Nerd.
    - Entered Cerulean City
    - Beat PKMN Rival O'Henry
    - Beat Nugget Bridge
    - Xelos my Drowzee evolved into Hypno
    - Saved Bill from a life of Pokemonhood
    - Got the S.S. Ticket from Bill
    - Caught Abra, named it "Felix."
    - Fought Misty with Felix in first slot, won.
    - Felix became level 15, one more level until evolution

    That's pretty much it. I plan to train Magikarp to get another Pokedex entry, Gyarados. I'll evolve Squirtle and then catch a Meowth as a Flash/Cut slave, evolve that into Persian.

    Oh, it was an EPIC battle... (Spamming Slam XD). And those levels are nothing... I had four lvl 50s on my squad when I beat Koga (trained on cycling road AND Silence Bridge).

    I have my Hypno spam Headbutt now. After closer inspection, there's 31 IVs in ATK and SP. ATK, so it's good for anything.

    Yea, in FR/LG they made it that non-Kanto pokes can't evolve and Kanto pokes can't evolve into non-Kanto ones until the National Dex. It sucks a lot, though.

    OK, seeing as though most of you have already voted, and the Majority went to the tougher challenge, I guess there will be more rules.

    BONUS RULES:
    -After you beat the E4 the FIRST time, post your Party, time it took you to beat it, and the number of Pokes owned in the Dex

    -Catch any amount of Pokemon you need to, then continue with obtaining the Nat. Dex

    -It is recommended that you do Bill's Sevii Island quest BEFORE the E4 (first time)

    -Do any quest on the Seven Islands

    -You may add any Pokemon from the other regions, as long as they are your type

    -I don't really want you trading in others from other games, but you can trade in ONE from the outside, and they must be level 65 or under

    -You MAY... MAY use ONE Pokemon that is NOT your type to beat the E4 a second type, under certain conditions
    -*You cannot trade in any Pokemon from the outside if you use this rule
    -*This Pokemon MUST have a move of your type (T-tar Thunderbolt :))
    -*You CANNOT use legendaries, Flying, Dragon, Ice, or Ghost types

    -When you are done with the Seven Islands, post your Team, Time, and any other info. (Owned # is not necessary)

    -You must then beat the new and improved E4

    -After that, you have beaten the Monotype Challenge! Post your FINAL Team, FINAL Time, and any other comments about this challenge


    EDIT: I just have to say, WOW. I think this is the fastest thread to 72 replies... about 24 hours later and here we are with all of these. Congrats guys!!! (and gals :))!

    Nooo, I have to restart... The encounter code I used caused the ROM to be infected with a broken box. If I go into the PC, all the boxes are filled with ?s and bad eggs that suddenly crash the ROM. And I was just up to Celadon as well!

    I'm back!!!

    After catching Pipa and Ratti, trained until I beat Gary. Then finished Viridian Forest and beat Brock, which was not easy with a Pidgey and a Rattata. By which time team was:


    Rattata (Ratti) LV 20, Hasty Nature, Ability Run Away
    Moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Hyper Fang, Tail Whip


    Pidgey (Pipa) LV 20, Rash Nature, Ability Keen Eye
    Moves: Tackle, Sand-Attack, Gust, Quick Attack


    Bulbasaur (Bulby) LV 5, Mild Nature, Ability Overgrow
    Moves: Tackle, Tail Whip

    Also caught a Mankey, Pikachu, Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle and Kakuna.

    Then headed to Mount Moon, caught a Jigglypuff (Jiggly) and a Clefairy (Cleffa.) About to head through Mt. Moon to Cerulean after I train Jiggly and Cleffa to LV 18 or so.

    How's everyone else doing? :D

    -*This Pokemon MUST have a move of your type

    Does my Nidoqueen have to follow that rule because she doesn't learn any Ground type moves?

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Game: Leaf Green
    Playing Time: 2:14

    After pretty much taking out every trainer in Mt. Moon, Nidorana grew to level 22 and then I evolved it with the Moon Stone. On Route 4 I caught a Sandshrew at level 10. I trained a little and just beat Gary.

    Nidoqueen lvl 22
    -Bite
    -Body Slam
    -Double Kick
    -Tail Whip

    Sandshrew lvl 14
    -Scratch
    -Defense Curl
    -Thief
    -Sand-Attack

    Since you are doing BUG, you cannot use your Charmander, unless you want him to be your ONLY other type AFTER you reach the Sevii Islands (SEE PAGE 3 FOR BONUS RULEZ).

    Since Scizor IS part bug, you can trade and trade back to evolve Scyther after you get the NAT Dex.
