It's been a long while since I've been here. You can get rid of my grass Ruby and FireRed poison runs, as I started those forever ago and quit. I am going to start over though, with a dark single on Sapphire. Here's my sign up.

Forum User Name: ColourCodedGB
Pokémon Type: Dark
Challenge Mode: Single
Game(s): Sapphire

additional rules:
Played on battle mode: Set
Revives not permitted in-battle

Looking forward to going back to this. : ) I did have a question regarding egg moves. Are we allowed to catch Pokemon to breed egg moves? Since options are slim early on in Sapphire for Dark Types, I was wondering if I'd be able to catch a wild slakoth that already knows yawn, and use it to breed a baby Poochyena with Yawn for the fight against Wattson. That fight is super hard without good super effective moves, and pretty much all I'll have is Rock Smash. If I could use a Mightyena that knew Yawn, it'd help out quite a lot.

The last update before the end of the game!

Very quickly took out Liza and Tate with Absol and Cacturne.

Mind Badge Obtained!

My full team of five Pokemon beat up Team Aqua all over the place, and I ended up catching Kyogre in a Master Ball (cause why not)

Leveled up Crawdaunt a lot at the Sootopolis Gym and defeated Wallace with a little help from everyone. Cacturne managed to take out two Pokemon with Solarbeam before Wallace put an end to it with Milotic's Ice Beam. Absol and Crawdaunt did pretty much everything else.

Finally arrived at the elite four!

Absol managed to take out just about all of Sidney's Pokemon, with Crawdaunt doing the clean up.
Absol wipes out all of Pheobe's Pokemon by himself
Crawdaunt takes out Glalie and a sealeo, and Cacturne gets lucky with Blizzards missing and Solarbeams Sealeo #2 and Walrein. The remaining Glalie almost wipes out my entire party.

Drake beats up almost everyone with Shelgon, Absol takes it and Altaria out. Crawdaunt Ice Beams the two Flygon, and at long last I hit an unbreakable wall with the super speedy, high special attacking Salamence. Everyone gets wiped.

Considering I was already pretty lucky to get that far, I feel there's no reason to give it another shot. I am currently stuck at the elite Four, and will be doing a lot of level grinding to try and finish the game.

For the moment I have deposited Mightyena and Sableye since they were pretty much useless at the elite Four. I'll be focusing on My three strongest Pokemon for now.

Current Team:
cacturne.png
Needlekid: Lv. 43 (Female/Jolly)
Moveset: Needle Arm, Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Faint Attack

crawdaunt.png
Bubblekid: Lv. 47 (Female/Serious)
Moveset: Surf, Sludge Bomb, Brick Break, Ice Beam

absol.png
Losbakid: Lv. 46 (Male/Impish)
Moveset: Slash, Aerial Ace, Shadow Ball, Swords Dance

I completed the Dark Monotype Run for Pokemon Sapphire!

It wasn't pretty as I pretty much had to drip feed Hyper Potions to Crawdaunt while fighting Metagross, but I don't feel bad about it since the Elite Four in Ruby/Sapphire is really brutal, and climaxes with a flippin' Metagross as the true final boss of the game.

All the more reason why I love Ruby/Sapphire. It's really flippin' hard.

Final Team

mightyena.png
Snarlkid: Lv. 49
Moveset: Rest, Secret Power, Crunch, Hyper Beam

cacturne.png
Needlekid: Lv. 49 (Alternate Nickname: "Deadweight")
Moveset: Needle Arm, Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Faint Attack

crawdaunt.png
Bubblekid: Lv. 57
Moveset: Surf, Sludge Bomb, Brick Break, Ice Beam

absol.png
Losabkid: Lv 51
Moveset: Slash, Aerial Ace, Shadow Ball, Swords Dance


I'll be starting up a new challenge on Sapphire once I decide which type to do next. : )

Ultimate Fire Monotype - Pokemon X - Update 1

So... According to my post history I signed up for my ultimate fire monotype on September 7th, 2014.

Anyway, time for a long overdo update on the 1st of 6 playthroughs!

-Picked Fennekin
-Got Charmander
-Can't remember what happened between there and Cyllage
-Caught Houndour
-Dragon Rage OP in rock gym
-Houndour evolved into Houndoom
-Travelled to Shalour, beat fighting gym
-Travelled to Courmarine
-Chameleon evolved into Charizard
-Beat Grass gym

Just a note to Necrum, I've long ago abandoned the Ruby Grass run and the FireRed Poison Run, so you can remove those from the list. I also completed the Dark Type run in Sapphire. Right now I'm only working on the Bug MonoType in Sapphire.

Speaking of which, here's an update on how that's going. I decided to take my time a lot more with this run, since I kind of rushed through the Dark Type Challenge.

Ultimate Fire Monotype - Pokemon Fire Red - Update 1

I have a feeling that these update posts are going to get a bit jumbled :) Currently I take my gameboy with me (I love the looks I get) on the go, and play my 3ds at home durring my down time. My X is still progressing, around the 6 gym now. Anyway, time for my first update on the kanto region playthrough! Oh, I switched out Leaf Green for Fire Red.

- Picked Charmander
- Grinded in the grass to beat Gary next to Viridian
- Got Metal Claw and beat Brock after a couple tries
- Charmander evolved into Chameleon
- Chugged through Mt. Moon
- Fought Gary again, grinded to Bill's house, bought some Super Potions.
- Beat misty after 5 or so attempts
- Went to S.S. Anne, Got cut, and swept Lt. Surge
- Travelled to Rock tunnel, took a little under an hour to get through with no flash and no references.
- Charmeleon evolved into Charizard sometime while in there.
- Caught Growlithe in the Grass between Lavender and Celedon.

Pokemon:

Charizard - lvl 42
Growlithe - lvl 17

Badges: 3
Time played: 5:05
Next update: After 8th gym
