I started the E4 challenge. Lorelei was rather easy I mainly used my Dragonite , Charizard and Pidgeot. Bruno was the easiest. Butterfree swept him with Mega Drain and Psychic not allowing him to make a hit. Agatha was also easy I only had to use Charizard's Earthquake and Flamethrower. Lance's Pokemon were quite easy except his Dragonite. It has a really strong Hyper Beam. Farfetch'd and Dragonite we good here. Blue was the hardest I mostly used Dodrio. I finished him off with Charizard's Strength. I have finished Kanto (Red) part of my Ultimate Flying Monotype Challenge. I will be using Pokemon Gold on the next Part.

^^just watch out for Lucario
Now for my next update!
-Beat Whitney
-Caught Snubbull
-Grinded up all my team members, especially Snubbull (nicknamed Courage). Chrono also evolved
-Beat Bruno (Rival) in Ecruteak's Burned Tower.
-Set the legendaries free

-Had some difficulty with Morty's Gengar, just barely scraping by.
-Caught Miltank (SpiltMilk) and Tauros (Matador)

So great! I now have a full team of 6! But unless Magesty evolves soon and/or I get some good TMs for it to learn, I'll probably get rid of it.

Also, I have a question. Does Miltank learn Rollout through level up?
Also, is Ghost Physical or Special in this game?

 

[[Enter Witty Name Here]]

Yeah, the Lucario was quite hard, but on the bright side, Golbat evolved into a Crobat afterwards, and I also have a Gliscor now as well!

ATM my team is very offensive, with high attack and speed stats. Does anyone know of a good defensive flying type pokemon? I think that Skarmory is probably the best, but you can't get one until very late in the game, so I'm thinking Drifblim. Is there a better one that's quite easily catchable in Platinum?

 

[vaporeon7]

I started the Gold part of my Flying Ultimate Monotype Challenge. I completed the first part of the game (didn't really matter what I did because I didn't have a Flying type. After the aide gave me the Pokeballs I caught a Hoothoot. I then caught a Spearow. I later arrived in Violet City where I beat Sprout Tower and the Gym. After that I travelled south and caught a Hoppip. I then went a received the Togepi egg which hatched soon after. I am about to head towards Azalea Town.

Yorunozuku (Hoothoot) Lv13.
Moves: Peck, Tackle, Foresight, Growl.

Onidrill (Spearow) Lv13.

Watacco (Hoppip) Lv10.
Moves: Splash, Tail Whip, Synthesis, Tackle.

Togechick (Togepi) Lv5.
Moves: Growl, Charm.

 

[myrrhman]

Witty, I would definitely recommend a Drifblim. I'm using it for my Ghost UMC, and he's proving to be very useful. I'm basically soloing the entire game with him.

 

[vaporeon7]

I travelled through Dark Cave and arrived in Azalea Town. I defeated Team Rocket at Slowpoke's Well and won the badge. I helped the Farfetch'd guy. I then went through Ilex Forest. I put some Pokemon in the Daycare Center and went to Goldenrod City. Hoppip evolved and I beat the gym and I am about to go to the National Park.

Yorunozuku (Hoothoot) Lv17.

Togechick (Togepi) Lv18.

[tachikaze316]

Also, I have a question. Does Miltank learn Rollout through level up?
Also, is Ghost Physical or Special in this game?

Miltank learns rollout naturally, somewhere around Lv.34 I think, ghost is physical in Gen II.




Anyway, I said a few pages back that I'd like to try a steel ultimate, finally getting around to posting about it.

Started in Crystal.

-Chose Totodile for slaving reasons
-Got the egg and Pokedex

Rocky spent most of the fight not listening and having mud in his eyes, it took a while, but eventually we won.

-Recieved the egg from Elm's aide
-Put the egg and Rocky in a box never to see the light of day again...
-Caught a new Onix (Solid, get it?), taught him Mud-Slap
*sidenote: yes, I skipped sprout tower, I'll do it when I get something that won't explode if a bellsprout so much as thinks about looking at it...*
-Went through Union Cave.
-Dealt with Team Rocket at the well
-To the Gym!
Leader Battle: Bugsy

Spoiler:

-Taught Totoslave Cut
-Got TM02 and taught it to Solid

-Backtracked to Sprout Tower
-Got Flash

-Trained for a bit, got a rollout TM, taught it to Pineco

Foret defeated Clefairy and took off half of Miltank's health with rollout before kickin' the bucket. Solid finished it off with rock throw.

Next time! Magnemites, magnemites, ghosts and more magnemites.

 

[vaporeon7]

I went through the National Park and cleared the path of Sudowoodo. I then went up to Ecruteak City. I beat the rival and also beat Morty and the Kimono Girls. Spearow and Hoothoot evolved. I then strolled down to Olivine City and then to the ocean where I caught a Mantine. I then continued on to Cianwood City were I beat Chuck. On my way back Togepi and Skiploom evolved. I am about to go into the Glitter Lighthouse.

Thanks for the advice =]

I'm now on the 5th gym in Pastoria. I caught a Magikarp, and i'm training it to become a mighty Gyrados!

 

[tente2]

Well, I would be updating if I actually had something to update on. I wasted absolutely all my money after losing to Wattson so many times, that, when I tried to get Kyle out of the DayCare(yes, I was that desperate) I realized I didn't have enough money to get him out. I could have gotten my Jake out, but I decided to go to the Game Corner first so I could get some coins and see if I could exchange them for money. But, I found out I didn't have a coin case yet so I went to Slateport and bought a Harbor Mail with the money I could've used to get my Jake out of the Day Care. I got there and discovered that the game corner didn't give you some coins to start you out. So yeah, with my Kyle in the Day Care I'm totally screwed. It doesn't help the fact that VBA is getting glitchy, meaning that I have to close it and then open it again every once in a while.

I'm going to see if I can sell anything, and get my pokemon out of the day care. I'll update afterwards.
