How is it possible to have non-Fire, Water, and Grass types if the type has to be your starter and without hacks...

 

[Down with the darkness]

Move me to Johto baby!

Kanto MVP:

Lady (Nidoqueen): Lady turned out to be my most valuable pokemon in Kanto. Her moveset turned out incredibly well, consisting of Thuderbolt, Fireblast, Blizzard, and Surf. She single handedly defeated Lance, killed all but lauralie's Jynx, and even (somehow) managed to kill the invinsible Alakazam. She is my Kanto MVP.

As I told you before, you need to use the same type for every generation. You need to have a Water-Type team in Johto, because that's what you had in Kanto.

How is it possible to have non-Fire, Water, and Grass types if the type has to be your starter and without hacks...

In the first post, it states that "When starting your journey in each game, you will have to play the game using just your starter Pokemon. Then, once you gain access to the first available Pokemon of your type, continue from then on with only that type. You can use your starter to help with training these Pokemon, but cease using it in gym battles at this point."

I was thinking about joining this when you first started it but totally forgot about it...I guess I'll join now.

I would like to do the challenge using....(I can't choose between Fire or Water) Umm...Umm.......Umm...............Umm......Fire? No wait...I'll do...Ice. No...Fire. Yeah.....Fire.

I have yet to start for I need to find the emulators and ROMS and stuff....Or until I get the courage to give up my data on Yellow, Gold, and all those other ones. ;o

 

[Down with the darkness]

Raoto, lol you really do have to write everything you think. Anyway, Let's see who gets to Cynthia first! You may have the advantage of a starter type, but I'm an entire region ahead. Good luck!

And don't use Yellow. I do not suggest yellow

 

[~Magnus~]

Can i do this for Poison? seems fun I'll start in Firered

1 Question: Do we restart every game or can we trade eggs of pass games to start with those as well so we arent in a crappy situation if there's less of that type in that region?

 

[itsreallytom]

i dont know what team i will do yet is seaking anygood?

 

[Down with the darkness]

Sorry to say but you need to catch them anew. I'm doing the same type as you, and I already have four pokemon in Johto before the first gym. Spinarak, Gastly, Zubat, and Bellsprout. It's not that hard to get new pokemon, especialy poison types.

 

[~Magnus~]

It is later on, like Hoenn and Sinnoh

EDIT: Where can i get R/B/Y and G/S/C ROMs?

 

[uhhh6677]

Just posting to say I'll update later tonight.

current progress in ice monotype challenge...

Captian's Log; Day Five
Current Region: Kanto
Current Game: Blue Version
Trainer Name: Gary

Things I did before I found Chrono...

Spoiler:

I had two badges prior to my first Ice-Type. I actually skipped over Lt. Surge for the time being, as the trainer can continue through the game without defeating the 'Lightning American'. This should be no surprise to those who remember the whole 'mew is under the truck' scam in r/b/y... the only things the 3rd badge nets the trainer is the ability to use fly outside of battle and TM24. Secondly, I went ahead and did both the Rocket Hideout and Pokemon Tower events before the forth badge, allowing me to get the super rod with only two badges, as it requires waking up a Snorlax. I then caught a Poliwhirl on route 10 and a Shellder on Route 6. After some major grinding, I went to defeat Erika for Badge #4.

Current lineup:

GLENN
Level 27 Lapras
-Water Gun
-Body Slam
-Thunderbolt
-Sing

LOLA
Level 41 Jynx
-Ice Punch
-Lovely Kiss
-Psychic
-Body Slam

CHRONO
Level 39 Cloyster
-Tackle
-Clamp
-Bubblebeam
-Aurora Beam

In this episode, we:
Caught Chrono the Cloyster at Level 15
Traded a Level 23 Poliwhirl for Lola the Jynx in Cerulean
Defeated Erika who was a pain
Defeated Lt Surge with ease
Stormed Sliph Co.
Beat our Rival Ash, who spams Ember and Confusion
Recieved a Lapras, who was dubbed Glenn
Defeated Giovanni
Received the Master Ball.

And sadly, I have yet to actually play the game that I'm using for character names.. though I do plan on buying it this summer.

Hey I just mopped the floor with red! I'm blazing through these! Move me to hoenn!

Johto region MVP:

Ninja (Ariados): Ariados was my first pokemon here in the Johto reegion, and he served me well. Despite frality, Ariados took out all rock, steel, electric, or poison type enemies with his deadly dig. He devistated two gyms single handedly. Although He wasn't verry useful against the elites(actualy he helped with Karen), Lance, or Red, I have to give him the award.


My current hall of fame cards:

Hey I just mopped the floor with red! I'm blazing through these! Move me to hoenn!

Finishing the second generation in about three days? oO Impressive. I needed about two weeks.

But honestly, I guess you really should post more updates here. It's always fun to read how other players handle the challenge (and more comprehensible, too).
