I'm going to do a Flying Ultimate. I'll be starting in Red.
Probably doing R--> C--> R--> Pl--> ?. It depends on what's available at the time.

 

[Ataraxia]

Went through Mt Moon, leveling Dratini up to 20 and teaching it TM 12 (Water Gun, which I completely forgot was there actually)

Healed in Cerulean then beat Blue and the 5 trainers on Nugget Bridge (I think that's what it's called...)

Healed again then stormed Cerulean Gym, using Para-Wrap spam to take out Misty, thus earning the Cascade Badge and leveling Dratini up to 24.

Stormed the rest of Cerulean Cape, visiting Bill etc etc, dying once due to poison... X( Leveled to 26.

Headed to Vermillion, dying once again due to poison. Taking the hint I bought more potions and some antidotes.

Got to Vermillion eventually and blazed the SS. Anne, teaching Dratini Body Slam and Bubblebeam, and leveling to 29.

Caught Pidgeotto (fly slave) and Abra (tele slave) then went back and got the free Charmander and taught it Cut. (can you believe Rattata and Raticate can't learn cut?! >.<)

Cut through the bush and challenged Vermillion Gym, Dratini leveled to 30 and tried to learn Slam (denied since I have Body Slam -.-') then after the battle it evolved!

Thrashed Lt.Surge with ma 'suped' up dragon with 2 Body Slams TO THE FACE!

Taught Dragonair TM 24, Thunderbolt and saved in Vermillion City!

[Alakazam17]

And after exactly a month of downtime, the list of players in the Ultimate Monotype is once again updated. While no one has finished the new five-generation challenge in that time, honourable mention goes to myrrhman, who finished the four-generation Ghost challenge, and tachikaze316, for being the first to start the Isshu leg of the challenge. Congrats! :D

And on another note, after finally playing through all of White Version, I've now decided that it should be concluded upon defeating the Elite Four the second time. Those who've played it already should know why this is, and as for the rest of you...take the challenge and find out! :D

 

[tachikaze316]

Okay, I'm nowhere near ready for my Elite Four rematch yet, just a quick update. Caution, spoilers ahead.

Spoiler:

-Caught a new Keith after realising mine was taking too long to level up. Dropped Chill in the Daycare Center and started grinding.
-Took a break from grinding to track down TMs.
-New Keith evolved..in America!
-Got bored of grinding everyone else around level 50. Headed out to battle trainers with 1 hit KO moves and a 14 level advantage, whee!
-Headed to Kagome Town, the trainers on the way were surprisingly easy
-Rode South to Sazanami Town, there's something I want to do here, but it's gonna have to wait 'til later...much later. *Apparently what I wanted to do here, or rather who I wanted to battle is not part of the challenge* :(
-Started grinding (very slowly) in Raimon City (yay, ~20 trainers a day I can rematch)
-Decided to try to get the Heart Scales needed to teach my team some new moves...not fun.

Anyway, here's my team at the moment:
Keith/Wargle Lv.59
Brute Force
-Rock Slide
-Crush Claw
-Defog
-Tailwind
Frodo/Bauffron Lv.57
Reckless
-Megahorn
-Earthquake
-Wild Bolt
-Afro Break
Sora/Kenhorou Lv.58
Pidgeon Breast
-Fly
-Return
-Cheer Up
-Roost
Rex/Muurando Lv.59
Sand Paddle
-Crunch
-Return
-Cheer Up
-Ice Fang (Thinking of getting rid of this for Fire Fang)
Shino/Mebukijika Lv.58 (I miss her Spring form)
Herbivore
-Jump Kick
-Wood Horn
-Wild Bolt
-Double Edge
Chill/Chillachiino Lv.62
Technician
-Bullet Seed (30PP, 100% Accuracy, 25 Power)
-Rock Blast (10PP, 90% Accuracy, 25 Power)
-Sweep Slap (10PP, 85% Accuracy, 25 Power)
-Wake Up Slap

So yeah...that's what I've got at the moment, and why the hell is Bullet Seed infinitely superior to the other two multi hit moves?!

Next time! Maybe more grinding, maybe the rematch of the century, who knows?

Oh, I wanna try this!

Yup :D

So, how do I? Do I just go ahead and proceed?

 

[Alakazam17]

Just one question, do I have to play through R,B,Y or just one of the games from each Gen?

If I understand your question correctly, you only have to play through one of Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, or LeafGreen. You don't have to play through all five of them.

So, how do I? Do I just go ahead and proceed?

Yes, go on ahead.
