    I think I'll do all the types for this. Pokemon Blue Version was my favorite thing to do when I was little, and I want to play it more. But, I'm doing a couple of Challenges in both Pearl and Platinum currently. As soon as I'm done with that though, I'll be back. So if you want to sign me up for everything but water, which I already beat here, I'll be on it probably next week or sooner.

    I'll do ground type in red as it seems that nobody has done that yet.

    EDIT: I decided to now do blue as I thought that Sandshrew was a Red-only pokemon, not a Blue-only pokemon

    Well, big update, i guess. I beat the elite four/champion.

    Just posting elite four battles, because they're the only ones i remembered, and the rival battle was rediculous. Thank god I had so many revives

    Entered the elite four with all my pokemon at around level 50, Parasect, as my MVP, was at 60.

    Round 1: Vs. Loreli!
    Spoiler:

    Round 2: Vs. Bruno!
    Spoiler:

    Round 3: Vs. Agatha!
    Spoiler:

    Round 4: Vs. Lance!
    Spoiler:

    Round 5: Vs Rival!
    Spoiler:


    And that's a rap. I'm done with Water and Grass now. 2/15.

    Team:
    Monotype Challenge-- Red/Blue

    Venusaur at level 58

    Razor Leaf, Body Slam, Sleep Powder, Cut
    Monotype Challenge-- Red/Blue

    Parasect at level 61

    Leech Life, Spore, Dig, Slash
    -definitely my MVP. Saved me against Sabrina, Koga, Blaine, and like half of the Elite Four. He's not the highest leveled Pokemon I have for nothing.
    Monotype Challenge-- Red/Blue

    Vileplume at level 51

    Acid, Pedal Dance, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore
    -definitely my LVP. He just wasn't worth training. Venusaur had Razor Leaf, and I really didn't need any more grass moves. I sorta just had him so I could have a full team of Grass. Oh well, he did save me against Lance, so I respect him in that regard.
    Monotype Challenge-- Red/Blue

    Exeggutor at level 53

    Psychic, Hypnosis, Stomp, Mega Drain

    @myrrhman: You have got to be one of the most dedicated 1st gen fans out there haha. Grass is my favorite type, I had no idea it'd be so hard though! Which challenge will you do next?

    Oh yeah, I'm a huge Pokefan. The main problem with grass type was the lack of attack types. And dual type pokemon for that matter. Not counting Normal, I only had 5 different type attacks. And since none of them were super effective against dragons or Charizard, that gave me a really big problem.

    Anyways, after that ridiculous challenge, I want to one that's a wee bit easier. We'll go with flying. That should be much better.

    Proposed end of game team:

    Gyarados: Surf, Earthquake, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt
    Charizard: Flamethrower, Slash, Rock Slide, Cut
    Butterfree: Sleep Powder, Psychic, Strength, Supersonic?
    Fearow: Drill Peck, Fly, don't care, doesn't matter

    I wake up and go outside of my hometown and Oak shows up .
    What could he want...?
    Turns out he wants to help me out by giving a POKEMON !
    Sweeeeet .
    I pick Charmander, because he's my all time favorite .

    Obviously, Nick picks Squirtle D:<
    But what's this !?!
    He wants to battle me ?
