  • Nice update. I'm slowing down on mine so I don't finish too quickly. D; Lol.

    I'll post an update soon, though. Probably not tonight, but soon nonetheless.

    I have a little update, but too small of one to really make a full one. I'll update this later with more I've done. Anyway, here's a small update:

    ---------- Update ----------

    R/S/E Monotype Challenge

    ----------------------

    - Fixed up my HM slaves and rearranged my party (namely ditching my final Pick Up slave).
    - Met Steven outside of Fortree City, spoke with him, and obtained the Devon Scope.
    - Did a little bit of training outside Fortree.
    - Challenged the Fortree City Gym, having no problems, even with Altaria (shocker, I know); I scored a victory over Winona and claimed the Feather Badge.
    - Stocked up on a few things and left out for Lilycove City.
    - Fought my way through routes 120 and 121.
    - Made it to Lilycove, hunkering down in the pokecenter.

    Currently: Doing a bit of last minute training for May, even though I know I don't need it.

    [[Will post team when I make the full update sometime tomorrow]]

    EDIT: Slightly updated.

    Spoiler:

    Cool. 8D I'm training there, too, on my way to Lilycove, as you know.

    Hoping I'll have two Aggrons before Tate&Liza.

    EDIT: Edited my post above this one a little bit more. Still nothing worthy of reposting my team. Hopefully, I'll have Tate & Liza done tomorrow.

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    Just Obtained the Dynamo Badge! :D
    Now, from where I left off:

    • I got the PokéNav after talking to the Devon Corp. President, who gave me a letter to deliver to his son Steven
    • I got the HM Cut, and caught a Zigzagoon as an HM/Pickup Slave
    • Went back down to Route 104 and got Mr. Briney to give me a ride to Dewford Town
    • I beat the two trainer in the whole island, and made my way across Granite Cave without Flash (since you don't even need it)
    • Gave the letter to Steven and obtained the TM Steel Wing! (that I won't use)
    • Not satified with my Pokémons' low levels, I headed to Slateport City, beating every trainer available before the rival battle
    • I concentrated on making Cono (my Seedot), reach level 21 to learn Synthesis
    • Went back to Dewford, and beat Brawly thanks to Zina mostly
    • Went back to Slateport and decided to change Zina's nickname to Cana
    • Then I caught a female Oddish and called her Cali
    • I trained Cali until she knew Sleep Powder and headed to the rival battle
    • Combusken was a ***** to beat, but I finally downed him through stalling with a combination of PoisonPowder, Leech Seed, and Cono's Synthesis
    • The rest up to Mauville was easy, I beat Wally with Cana
    • Beat every trainer to the east, south, and west (not north) of Mauville City
    • Then I headed into the gym after evolving Cana and Cali, and beat all of the Gym trainers rather easily with them
    • My battle with Wattson went like this:
      Spoiler:
    • Then I went to Verdanturf Town, and used Rock Smash on the rocks in Rusturf Tunnel, and obtained HM04 Strength, as well as the BlackGlasses that I gave to Cono.

    Currently, the plan is to head north to Fallarbor Town and continue on the storyline

    Hey hey, nice update. ;3 Glad to know you're still in with it. Looking forward to the next one, I really like the way you update (I know that sounded odd, but I mean with using the banner like I do (you're welcome, by the way, assuming you found it the way I think you did) and green text and in-depth coverage of big battles, which I read and enjoyed). Keep at it. :3

    Anyway, I'm off to play some myself. ^_^

    ha ha, it's good that you liked it. :P

    I'm really not-too-happy with the way the battle looks since it seems kinda confusing after reading it right now, but it's because i typed it out in word first, and then copied-and-pasted. so rest assured that next battle against flannery won't be as hard to follow. :D

    and about the banner, if you think i searched through 15 pages of the GBA thread in order to find it in one of the many, many monotype challenges there are because i got jealous of you...
    you're ABSOLUTELY correct! xD

    @chaos: niccccccceeeeeeeeeeee :D

    XDDD Hehe, I thought so. Ru-kun's monotype challenge thread... sdfs made the banners, but for some reason, I can't find the ground or ice one, even though I KNOW they were made. There's even spaces where they should be on that post.

  • R/S/E Monotype Challenge


    last time, i had barely finished the storyline up until Verdanturf Town, so this time:

    • i beat the trainers on Route 111, as well as the Winstrate Family (this was easier than before so I guess I'm doing something good
    • went up to Fallarbor Town and to Meteor Falls, not sparing a single opponent (i'm a training maniac, and i hate battling wild pokes, or going out of my way for something :D)
    • figured out that there's something going on over at Mt. Chimney
    • stopped Team Magma from accomplishing their evil plans by beating the snot out of Maxie
    • reached Lavaridge Town were I was prepared to face my greatest threat yet... Flannery
    • beat all of the Gym trainers easily using only Cana (who at this point was my strongest)
    • and finally went up against Flannery in a battle that went like this:
    • Spoiler:
    • after beating Flannery, I headed back to Petalburg where my epic encounter against my dad would take place
    • although I forgot record my battle against Norman, it went something like this:
    • Spoiler:
    • and thus, i obtained both the Heat Badge and the Balance Badge

    actually, since lileep doesn't learn a rock move until level 43 (or 48 if it's a cradily), ice beam might be the best choice :\ and i think there's a water stone in the same place where the ice beam TM is, so...

    you get the key from the room where the scientist is, and the locked door is on the floor below that room. inside that room, there's the fabled TM 13 containing ice beam.

    the water stone on the other hand, i'm not so sure.

    i haven't updated for a while, but i'm not sure anything important happened. i JUST beat the pokemon league, so that's important i guess. my team was reasonably underleveled, and i ended up using 19 revives and 20 hyper potions...and i only bought 20 of each. it was close.

    Final Team:
    DumbBeach lvl 53 @ Mystic Water
    R/S/E Monotype Challenge

    Shock Wave
    Ice Beam
    Stockpile
    Surf

    Swallows lvl 47
    R/S/E Monotype Challenge

    Aerial Ace
    Steel Wing
    Double Team
    Quick Attack

    Skittles lvl 47 @ Sea Incense
    R/S/E Monotype Challenge

    Silver Wind
    Bubblebeam
    Toxic
    Stun Spore

    Fun! lvl 50
    R/S/E Monotype Challenge

    Aerial Ace
    Tri Attack
    Uproar
    Drill Peck

    and they all have pokerus which would've been more helpful earlier, but it's cool, they still got the job done.

    well, i just realized that lileep doesn't learn anything good, so i guess i can scratch THAT off... :(

    well, this is what happens when you don't pay attention to your type advantages xD

    but i'll try what you said... thanks syphilis :) (and everyone else :))

    Lol, that was the type I was going to use after Steel and Poison are done. xD Technically we could both do it, but bah, it's cooler when you're the only one doing that type. :3 Hard to explain, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

    After Steel and Poison... I don't know what I'm gonna do. o:
