  • Updates!

    Unfortunately my brother wanted to play his ROM urgently so I just had to give up arguing, so I didn't get far.

    -Did all the pre-stuff, blah blah blah
    -Beat Roxanne
    -Went to Dewford
    -Stopped there because my brother's whining got too annoying to play.

    Current Team:

  • @ Grif: I must disagree. Water is slightly better, but I like that we're in agreement of the greatest two types.

    @ Weavile: Sure, its okay with me. But this is your only do over. You don't get another chance. Life is no Nintendo game.

    @ Everyone who signed up: Welcome!

  • i think that it should be illegal to do solo runs as a part of monotype.

    If you use only one pokemon, then go to the solo runs section.

    Likewise, If you solo run with one pokemon, you cant just barge in monotypes and say "hey i finished solo with charizard, can i be champion for fire monotype and flying monotype too?"

  • Minor Update! Beat Brawly. That pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?

    Current Team:
    Spr_3e_267.gif

    Sophie, lv. 17
    Swarm
    -Tackle
    -Absorb
    -Stun Spore
    -Gust

    Spr_3e_269.gif

    Jake, lv. 17
    Shield Dust
    -Confusion
    -String Shot
    -Poison Sting
    -Gust

    Spr_3e_290.gif

    Kyle, lv. 16
    Compoundeyes
    -Cut
    -Scratch
    -Leech Life
    -Flash

    ^^^Accidentally cancelled learning protect for Jake, so I'll have to find the nearest move relearner, at least until I learn something better. Does anyone know where is the gen 3 move relearner located?

    Only one more team member to go, but I won't be able to get him until after Flannery. I also won't evolve Kyle until after Wattson, because otherwise all my pokemon would probably be OHKO'ed by thunder. But it won't matter anyways--he's only level 16 right now, I'm close to Wattson, and he evolves at 22 so I don't think I have much of a choice anyway.

    Buy a pokeball, make sure you have a spare spot in your Party, and when it evolves, you will see shedinja in that empty spot, and he still won't get hit by thunder. Alsoi, make sure you buy a POKEBALL, Great Balls and Ultra balls and any other kind of pokeball won't work. It has to be a regular old pokeball.

  • Well, I started the game. Nothing interesting there… My name is now Rory, and my rival is Ike, which has been my Name/Rival since Pokémon Yellow. So, let's get down to business.

    Water MonoType Challenge #1

    Spoiler:


    (Admitedly, Water-Type would beat Ice-Type in a battle, but what about Snover/Abomasnow?)

  • Ok, time for my next update on my Ultimate Normal Type challenge.
    Preview​
    This one is a Biggun, with two gyms, some team rocket fights, like, about two rival fights, and a third team member! I'll seperate it into two sections by gym.
    Also, due to the length, it will be in Spoiler Tags.
    Cerulean Gym​
    Spoiler:

    Vermillion Gym​
    Spoiler:

    And that's where I stopped. Next update: Possibly another team member? Gotta decide if it's worth not evolving Eevee. A gym leader with a green thumb, and more than likely another encounter with Bruno.
    Team​
    This is also in Spoiler tags, because now it's getting a little lengthy.

    Meh, I'm not talking about the best type, I'm just talking on a favorite basis. My favorite Pokemon is Starmie, second is Milotic, and generally, I like Water Types the best.

    To whoever advised Shedinja: I did that for my Ghost Monotype. It proved difficult, as you can still be hit by Supersonic (which Magnemite and Magneton both have).

    To whoever has strong feelings about soloing Monotypes: I frown upon using one Pokemon the entire time, but what I oftentimes find myself doing is having like a Nidoking and Nidoqueen for my Ground monotype, training them both until like the fourth gym, and then find myself only using Nidoking instead of both of them for the rest of the game. It ends up being a solo sort of, but not really.

  • Another pretty big update today. I did get the 4th Gym badge, however, I decided not to use Eevee. Just not worth it. Also, my Clefairy finally reached level 31 and learned metronome, so I used my Moon Stone.
    Lets see... after beating Lt. Surge, I went back up to Cerulean, headed West (I think?) towards rock tunnel. After somehow clearing it without Flash, I headed to Lavender, battled Bruno in the Graveyard building, whatever it's called. He was owned, again. Then I headed to Celadon (this is when Clefairy learned Metronome) and entered team Rocket Hideout. While I was there, Pidgeotto learned Wing Attack (finally). I defeated Giovanni, and then shortly after beat Erika, she was a piece of cake, thanks to Pidgeotto, even though it was poisoned like the entire gym. Then I went back to Lavender and climbed the Graveyard place, beat all three Rocket Grunts there, and rescued Mr. Fuji, who didn't really need rescuing at all. Anyway, I got the Pokeflute and that's where it stops.

    Coming up next!!!!!!: Sorry, but the only thing I really know about for sure is my 4th team member.
