The Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[ScubaDouch3]

Well, I went on a gaming spree and finished Yellow, so I might as well post my final results:

Ultimate Ice-Mono: Yellow

Nessy: Lv.51

Moves:
Surf
Body Slam
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt

Freezeezy: Lv.51

Moves:
Blizzard
Aurora Beam
Body Slam
Surf

Ice Queen: Lv.52

Moves:
Ice Punch
Lovely Kiss
Body Slam
Psychic

Sheldon: Lv.50

Moves
Tri Attack
Ice Beam
Supersonic
Surf


I still can't believe I beat Blue with level fifties, but anyway it's off to Johto, my favorite region of all! Like with Yellow, I'll be hacking in wild Ice pokemon (One after every Gym) until I have six, I really don't like hacking but what else can you do when Ice pokemon don't show up until the end of the frickin' game!? It really sucks because they're my favorite type too...

Hey guys, glad to see there's a new owner. I was waiting for the other one to update the lists. By the way, I have been done with Fighting for a long while and have started on Poison in Kanto. Now, I am still going to do the regions in order, but I was just wondering when that would get updated. Thanks!

^Lost to Misty for the 4th time...... I will beat her next time. I can feel it.
^Maybe I was wrong..... I lost..... again.....
^Finally beat Misty

^Caught Machop (Nicknamed "Nebula")
^Started to train Nebula
^I've noticed that I must trade Machoke to evolve him, and you can not trade when using a VBA.... So I must ask, can I hack the rom so that Machoke evolves at +/- Lv.42, or is that against the rules? Machop evolves at Lv.28. If there is a way to trade with VBA please tell me. (I will NOT hack to evolve Machoke until I make sure that it is ok.) <-- OK, I actually can't trade, i've tried VBA Link, but my saves are for the newest VBA, and VBA Link isn't in that version..... so the only possible way for me to evolve Machoke is to to hack. I haven't hacked the evolution level yet, I will wait for an answer.

Hey guys, glad to see there's a new owner. I was waiting for the other one to update the lists. By the way, I have been done with Fighting for a long while and have started on Poison in Kanto. Now, I am still going to do the regions in order, but I was just wondering when that would get updated. Thanks!

I can't say for sure when I'll have everythig up to speed. It would be inefficient for me to dig through every post in this thread looking for people who have completed the challenge, so I'm asking people who have finished to PM me with a link to your completion post. I'll probably skim though the last 5 pages or so for my initial update. Though it will take me a while to do that even. Just be patient, and in the mean time enjoy the challenge!

 

[The Undisputed Era]

Necrum something I didn't see addressed in the rules: Can I hack in pokemon of a certain type as long as they are accessible in the game?

Also, I know you say legendaries are not allowed, but what about Semi Legends, Like Latias/Latios? Regi's ect :S

I actually did address hacking pokemon. Look again. As for your so called semi legendary pokemon, they still qualify as legendary. If you look on any Pokemon website like serebii or bulbapedia, all of those pokemon are listed as legendary. My official guide book says the same thing. So no, they are also not allowed.

I notice the rules don't actually specify whether or not I can hack in my team as long I stick to the type and pokemon from that dex, All it says is if I can't get it before the 3rd gym.

If you can catch Pokemon of your type, you should. Pokemon should only be hacked in if necessary, since this isn't the kind of challenge where you make a very specific team, you only need to adhere to a certain type. I have adjusted the rules to reflect this decision.
