    Final Update for Dark UMC!

    Final Update (#6) on Black.

    • Finished training around Unova, then headed to Victory Road, where I beat Cheren for the last time.
    • After some more training, I took on Morimoto in Castelia City and won on the first try.

    • Cynthia was much harder. I lost several time to her final Pokemon (Garchomp usually) before finally making it through with Jaws finishing it.

    • With the help of some Rare Candies, I got my team up to L74 and got the Substitute TM (finally winter rolled around yesterday) for Punker.
    • Also retaught Brave Bird to Vulture, Night Slash to Commander, and Outrage to Gangsta.
    • Time for the Elite Four again!

      Spoiler:

    • Then it was down to Alder. Here's the video of the battle.

    That's my ninth UMC through Unova completed. Dragon is probably next - Gonna start with either Druddigon or Dratini, since I don't want all the attack EVs early in the game to go to Hydreigon, a special attacker. I probably won't start for a little while, though.

    Ultimate Mono Fighting Challenge

    Hey um, I have a question. how do i get machamp on vba, since i can't trade? thank you

    hack, maybe? idk can u just answer

    Oh I forgot update!

    When he left off, Jake was sitting in the Celadon Gym celebrating his brave victory. But, he knew he wasn't done yet: he had to fight his way through Rocket Hideout. When he was doen with that, Jake took a trip to Saffron City (picking up a Hitmonchan, nicknamed Vegeta) and went on to the Pokemon tower, pwning Gary. Jake then went down route 12 and killed the snorlax. On route 13, he simply beat the trainers in his path (which was nobody). Jake found himself in Fuschia City and caught himself a Poliwag Lv. 11, nicknamed Chris. This is his team:

    Diglett (Cut slave) Lv.19
    Scratch
    Cut
    Magnitude
    Dig

    Po (Machoke) Lv. 38
    Vital Throw
    Revenge
    Focus Energy
    Karate Chop

    Vegeta (Hitmonchan) Lv. 28
    Thunderpunch
    Fire Punch
    Ice Punch
    Mach Punch

    Sensei (Primeape) Lv. 44
    Mega Punch
    Rock Tomb (Soon to be Rock Slide)
    Cross Chop
    Karate Chop

    Chris (Poliwag) Lv. 11

    There is a version of Visual Boy Advance called VBA Link and you can actually make two copies of a .sav file and change their types so one is a .sa1 file and the other is a .sa2 file. If you open up two VBA Link windows then you can literally trade with yourself. This method should only be used to evolve your Machoke by trading it with your Machoke on the other save file. Afterwards you can make a copy of the .sa1 file and change it back to a .sav file. I would just google VBA Link and it should be the first option, and they have step-by-step guides on how to use it. Hope that helped!

    no you don't need to start over, you can transfer to sav file in between different versions of VBA. Look around on the VBA website, they sould be able to help you with that. Alternatively, you can finish the game with Machoke, he is still plenty good enough.

    Yeah, JD's right. I don't think I've ever traded for a monotype. It certainly can help, but there are always plenty of available Pokemon for you to use in game.

    Other than attack, Machamp only has about 10 base stats higher than Machoke for each stat, and attack is only 30 higher. Its not that big of a difference (Machoke still has 100 Attack, which is quite a bit.)

    Ultimate Mono Fight Challenge

    To jdthebud and myrrhman- Thanks for the info, I'll go back (I am so confused right now, with all these save files!)

    Oh wait, I got rid of the fighting for the electric, whoops! So i guess electric ftw!

    Uuuuurggh, there is something wrong with my VBA! I was going through Mt. Moon, then all of a sudden, my person just starts walking to the left! Usually, when something like that happens, I save it and reload it. But, when I got back on, it didn't show any save files! This is an outrage!

    I'm just gonna take a break so I can get my head straight. I'll tell you guys when my mind is clear.

    Okay, my mind is set. I guess I'll start over on my fighting monotype.

    UPDATE!!!

    Update #5

    While he was in Fuschia City (If fuschia is misspelled, im sorry), Jake decided to kick Koga's butt. He killed his cronies, with a couple casualties, and fell victim to Koga. So, Jake decided to fight him again. After losing countless times to Koga, he decided to train Chris to a Poliwhirl, then Poliwrath. Jake grinded Chris up to Lv. 40, then decided to fight Koga again. Losing another few times, Jake decided to get Surf from the Safari Zone. With that being done, he challenged Koga again. After losing to Koga AGAIN( STUPID MUUUUUUUUK!!!!!!!!), he grinded him up another couple of levels. Finally, FINALLY, Jake beat that dumb Koga, with the help of Po w/ Strength and Sensei w/ Mega Punch. Jake is currently sitting in Silph Co. with this team:

    Po (Machoke) Lv. 41 (Officially Epic)
    Dig
    Submission
    Brick Break
    Strength
    (I got some new moves for him, did u notice?)

    Chris (Poliwrath) Lv. 44 (Officially Epic)
    Water Pulse
    Hypnosis (Handy for the sticky situations)
    Surf
    Submission (Submission FTW!)

    Vegeta (Hitmonchan) Lv. 34 (Not Epic)
    Thunderpunch
    Sky Uppercut
    Ice Punch (For the same reason as Chris's Hypnosis)
    Brick Break

    Sensei (Primeape) Lv. 47 (So Epic!)
    Mega Punch
    Brick Break
    Cross Chop (woot!)
    Karate Chop

    Diglett (Cut man(Should have named him that)) Lv. 19
    Scratch
    Cut
    Magnitude
    Dig

    PS: STUPID MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PPS: I have decided to keep Po a Machocke, as he already is god-like as he is, and getting Machamp would be just a waste of time.

    EDIT:

    do i need to keep an update list of everything ive done ingame or can i just give party updates every 4 gyms and the elite 4?
    EDIT2:
    by the way seeing as FRLG saves are interchangable can i swap roms just to catch a magmar?
    Well, the OP will hopefully get updated sometime or other in the near future, it has been neglected, I will give you that.

    I don't really think you can do that with FR/LG, you're supposed to catch the pokemon in game, and no trading/hacking is allowed for fire type, so yeah. If you really want Magmar, use LeafGreen. You'll also get a chance to use Magmar/Growlithe/Vulpix in later games as well.

    As for updates, just post them when you can. I also like to post screenshots of gyms and E4 and stuff, but it's purely optional. What you've done so far is perfectly fine.

    By the way, Myrrhman, whenever the OP gets updated, we should prolly clarify the hacking rules, a lot of people get confused (me included!) when the first available pokemon is after a couple gyms in certain games but is not Dragon or Ice or something.

    And that reminds me, I wanted to ask if hacking in Dratini for my Dragon type run on White (in the beginning) was ok, since I want to run with more than three pokemon for the first part of the game.
