Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Water).

Update #2 on LeafGreen.

Spoiler:

• Went through Rock Tunnel to Lavender Town (Clefable had Flash so it was easy).
• Rushed over to Celadon City, where I got the Eevee and named him Aquaman.
• Evolved Aquaman into Vaporean with a Water Stone (forgot screenshot).
• Taught Aquaman Water Pulse, then trained him up in the Rocket Hideout.
• Giovanni went down without a whimper to Water Pulse.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then I went back to Lavender Town, fighting all the trainers I skipped earlier.
• Beat Tyson pretty easily in Pokemon Tower, mostly with Poseidon.
• Scaled Pokemon Tower and saved Mr. Fuji, who gave me the Poke Flute.
• I went south and killed Snorlox, then got the Super Rod!
• With the Super Rod in hand, I fished up Frogman the Poliwhirl (Route 6) and Ruby the Staryu (Vermilion City).
• I taught Ruby Psychic and Frogman Brick Break, then started training them up.
• I eventually evolved Ruby into Starmie when it learned Bubblebeam (forgot screenshot again).
• Went to Silph Co to fight Team Rocket again, and after beating half the bad guys, I took on Tyson again and won.
• I then received Rider the Lapras!
• Trained up Rider on the rest of the Rockets, and also evolved Frogman into Poliwrath.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then I took on Giovanni and won with Rider and Ruby.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Right afterwards, I took on the Celedon Gym and destroyed it with Rider's Ice Beam.

• Defeated Roxanne after a bit of a struggle.

EDIT:Sorry, my game crashed. I don't want to start again so delete me from challenge.

 

[deoxys121]

Quick question: We're allowed to make cuts to our team as better Pokemon become available, right? I want to have only 3 battle Pokemon due to the fact that by training only 3, they tend to outrank gym leaders by a few levels.

 

[2Cool4Mewtwo]

Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Water).

Update #3 on LeafGreen.

Spoiler:

• Went down Cycling Road to Fuchsia City. Torrent evolved into Blastoise (forgot the screenshot though).
• After I got Surf in the Safari Zone and Strength from the Warden, I taught Surf to everyone but Poseidon and Strength to Torrent.
• Beat the rest of the trainers around Fuchsia, then took on the gym.
• Koga went down easily to Ruby's Psychic.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• I then surfed from Fuchsia to the Seafoam Islands, where I killed Articuno.
• Exited the Seafoam Islands and arrived at Cinnabar Island.
• After I beat the rest of the water trainers, I explored the Pokemon Mansion and found a Secret Key.
• The gym was a joke with my water team. Torrent easily soloed Blaine.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• I declined Bill's invitation to go the Sevii Islands and flew back to Saffron, where I beat the Fighting Dojo with Poseidon and Frogman.
• Then I took on the gym. Sabrina was beaten by Aquaman, who used Bite to great effect.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then I went back to Cinnabar and went to the Sevii Islands (I didn't go before because I wanted to use Rock Smash).
• Explored Mt. Ember (die, Moltres!), rescued Lostelle and delivered the Meteorite, then sailed back to Cinnabar.
• Finally it was time to take on the final gym.
• Once again, the gym was weak to water, so I cruised through the trainers, then beat Giovanni easily with Frogman and Torrent.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• After I took a side trip to the Power Plant to get Thunder and beat Zapdos, I took on Tyson again and won with Ruby and Rider.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then I went through all the badge checkpoints and arrived at Victory Road, where I saved.

[2Cool4Mewtwo]

I've beaten the 4th Gym. Problem with fire type monotype challenge in Gen I is, you don't get to meet another fire type until you pass Rock Tunnel... so my Charizard became quite overlevelled before I caught a Growlithe... (I had to raise Charmeleon to lv33 before fighting Misty @_@ in order for it to learn slash) and now Arcanine is becoming overlevelled as well :3

 

[Sire]

I was wondering if I could do the Ultimate Challenge, just for Gens I-III? I just can't be bothered to use the DS Emulators because they're slow in general and the fast forward toggle doesn't work well.

Oh, and can I do FRLG instead of RBY? Or no remakes?

If not, I'll be starting an Electric Mono in Fire Red.

 

[QuantumCharizard]

Hey I was wondering if I could do the Ultimate Monotype Challenge for all 5 generations. I will start with Normal on Pokemon Fire Red.

I might be slightly slow with updates however because of school and other commitments

Thank You
Peace Out!!!
