Pokemon Emerald Monotype Challenge
Ok..
Here's the rules: - You only can use one type of Pokemon. - If the pokemon evolves into something not its type, you cannot use it. Example: If you use Normal as the type Bidoof (Normal) into Bibarel (Normal/WATER) ^ Not acceptable. - - Your challenge ends when you beat Steven and the Battle Fronteir. -HM slaves (of different types) are allowed, but cannot be trained. - You can catch Pokemon for your pokedex, but cannot train them. - If a HM slave or Pokemon you caught that is not the type you pick for the Dex levels up, you MUST release that pokemon. - Starters are allowed. So if you run a Normal(type) Monotype Challenge, you can still use Mudkip, Torchic or Treecko. (if you pick normal, you'll seriously need to consider this option. - One person per type. You must post your progress after every gym, E4 member, Steven, and Fronteir Brain, Rival battle, and Wally batte beaten. Match Calls included Ok, who's using which type? Normal - OPEN Fire- WATER PKMN TRAINER (O_O' little ironic though.) Water- Brien Electric - OPEN Grass - Pika_Master414 Psychic - Wulf Ghost - gothic_kid Dragon - OPEN Steel - JollyRogers *or something like that* Dark - CrkrJack Poison - Aaronburnsyou Fighting - Cody B Ice- DARK_SANDSLASH Rock - OPEN Ground - OPEN Bug - Trainer Kat Flying - BidoofMaster PM me if you have anymore questions. Also, I could use a banner for this challenge >_> Whoever makes one gets any type they want taken or not (if it's already taken, the person already there is still able to continue with that type, and if it's not, another person can still take the type as well.) Use these banners, and put them in your sig, depending on what type you choose. http://i33.*.com/282kqqx.png http://i35.*.com/1raqt1.jpg http://i36.*.com/316m0w9.png http://i37.*.com/2a6lczo.png http://i38.*.com/2rggk20.png http://i35.*.com/34gamxg.png http://i33.*.com/osu5wy.png http://i35.*.com/2j8bo3.png http://i34.*.com/o6wpp4.png http://i38.*.com/fk2o9t.png http://i35.*.com/mua92e.png http://i34.*.com/140dmck.png http://i34.*.com/jzzion.png http://i38.*.com/2myn5zk.png http://i36.*.com/33v0ll1.png http://i33.*.com/2uoq3xl.png >_> No Normal Banner, though Groudon? |
UPDATE!
ALL DUEL TYPES ARE PERMITTED! however, they must always be the type you are using example, if I am flying, I can't catch a magikarp and evolve it, I must catch a garados. As I am assisting with this event, I will expand on the rules. This is ,Infact, A race. We are deciding what exactly will be the prize (possibly something on diamond/pearl, if someone donates) All winners will receive custom banners of their team, the trainer sprite of their choice, and the place they were in the race (first - third) Basic Rules (Subject to Change) 1. Must update journey every week, preferably more often. 2. If you are doing an emulator, please show screenshots of your badges, and the team you used. If you are using your game, like me, take a picture with a camera (if it shows up) and give us proof of acheivements. This is not required, but useful as proof. 3. Duel types are permitted, in the circumstance that they are caught as that type of Duel-Type, and remain it. Examples: Mudkip is Mud/Water, as is all it's other evolutions. Wingull is Water/Flying, so is pelipper. Tenticool is Water Poison, well, you get the idea. This post will continue to be edited as we find the need to add/edit rules. |
Um, I'm not sure how often I'll be able to play, but I'd like to give the Poison type a try.
Questions: -Are dual types allowed? (Ex// Poison/Flying, Poison/Bug, etc.) -Specifically how soon do we need to have a pokemon of our chosen type by? (Ex// Ice types don't appear until Shoal Cave, which is in Mossdeep) |
Dibs on Psychic, infact, I'll start a new game now.
That all right, friend? |
Ok,
-Are dual types allowed? (Ex// Poison/Flying, Poison/Bug, etc.) -Specifically how soon do we need to have a pokemon of our chosen type by? (Ex// Ice types don't appear until Shoal Cave, which is in Mossdeep) 1. Depends. If it was a dual type at the first stage, then yeah. 2. If you have a far off type, you can use a replacement until then. and for the Banner dude. Text: Rentorar's Monotype Challenge. Emerald Style! Back Ground: Black flames with blue lightning. Quote:

Anyway, 1st Gym Defeated!! Pokemon in Team: -Mudkip Lv13 (No poison types were available yet) |
hmmm...
Glad to see your progress. |
Hmmm... i think i'll go dragon...
Can i use trapinch? Since there is no other dragon types available until like just before the E4... (also all dragon types are dual types XP) If not i'll go with flying. Question can i use gyarados with flying if I catch it as one? |
Since there are no Pure Flyings, yes, you can. But you can't evolve it from a Magikarp.
Also, Yes you can get trapinch. You might want to get 6 of them then, lol. Plus Rayquaza counts as a Dragon. So, which type do you want? |
ill take dark. this will be interesting :D.
and if someone could respond to my FR thread real quick thatd be cool. so dark will be Crkr Jak if its cool with you. and also can i have persmission to use Corphish, Cactnea, and Shiftry.... just a question;. |
I just beat the first Gym Leader about an hour ago, and just obtained my PokeNav
|
Congrats, Wulf!
What are your pokemon so far? |
I have a Ralts and a Mudkip.
Quite chalenging, since Ralts only has one offense move. I had a lot of trouble on the Gym Leader's Nosepass the first time, but managed to use a lot of growls and double teams to defeat it. I'm gonna need a cutter Pokemon soon. |
Wulf, you know you can still use your Starter, right?
*hiding from inevitable yelling* |
I know, but he can't learn cut.
|
Marshtomp can though.
I meant you could have used Mudkip against Nosepass. |
Crap, I read misread the rules.
I'm stupid... |
Lol, No you aren't! *Bidoof is though.*
|
First one had Typo XD
This is the fixed version http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/5761/monopokebanneroj9.png Copy this into your banner if you support or are participating in this challenge! |
ok i will sign up using flying XD
... I heard what u said bout bidoof... =( |
First Gym Completed!
took me kinda long cause of lunch and super troopers >.> K.... Pokemon so far... Combusken Lv 18. Ember, Double Kick, Focus Energy, Peck. now im off to dewford to catch my first dark poke, Sableye and wipe out brawley. |
I just beat Brendan for the 2nd time. I destroyed him.
|
I'l' take fighting please. Hehe, Breloom's gonna kick butt.
|
Brawly Defeated!!!
Current team: -Golbat L22 -Gulpin L13 -Oddish L13 -Mudkip L15 (I don't use it at all anymore) EDIT: Brendan Defeated!!! -Gloom L21 -Gulpin L19 -Golbat L22 -Marshtomp L16 (I may need to use it on Wattson's Magneton, if that isn't against the rules) -Zigzagoon (HM Slave) Wally Defeated!!! (team hasn't changed, not even in level) |
Okay, just beat the Rock Gym leader.
- Shroomish Lv. 18 - Combusken Lvl. 16 |
just took down brawley.
Sableye Lv 17 Scratch, Astonish, Leer, Fury Swipes. Combusken Lv 20 Cut, Ember, Doublekick, Focus energy. on to catch a poochyena and take down team aqua. at slateport. |
You aren't understanding the point of this,
Once you gain access to the pokemon you choose, all other pokemon (with the exception of hm slaves) are to be removed from your team. So far, I am the water dood. I started off with mudkip and quickly caught a wingull and zigzagoon. I only intend on using water types in battle. Zigzagoon is nicknamed "HM_Slave'' for obv. reasons. I got lvl 13 mudkip and 12 wingull after the first badge, I will train them to 16 each then go catch myself a goldeen and maybe a tenticool (not sure if you can fish one) |
Actually, it's stated in the first post that the starter pokemon are okay to use.
Anyway, I originally came here to post my update. Wattson Defeated!!! -Gloom L26 -Golbat L26 -Swalot L26 -Marshtomp L17 -HM Slave Zigzagoon L4 (Original Level, has no exp. points) |
Good progress aaron
I just think its more of a difficulty with ONLY one type, no help at all, Im following the rules of the older monotype challenge, for added difficulty. |
Quote:
Well, good luck with the rest of the challenge then! |
I pity the fool who picks normal.
|
I could go with grass. So, are we allowed to have duo-type pokemon? The way you said it in the example, it sounds like we can't have pokemon with two types, but I see trainers with these type of pokemon. I just want to get this cleared up before I start.
Well, anyway, I can't wait to start. |
Hey could i be Ice type in the Monotype challenge.
|
I got to Slate Port City (That's the name, I think...).
My Ralts evolved, also. |
Congrats wulf
and I do think we should be less frugle on duel types. |
Quote:

I have a couple of Banners HERE, and they are for all the types. Also, could someone PLEASE host them somewhere? They are going down in 30 days or something......
|
I would love to take on Bug. They're my favorite.
|
Ok, Kat. You're in. Also, PM me the baners, groudon.
|
I can't PM you, you are only recieving PM's from Contacts, so you will need to change that first. And do someone know where you deactivate that?
The banners are ZIPPed on the url above(http://www.4shared.com/file/65862970/4c27b65b/Monotype.html), and named monotype_[TYPE].png |
You sent me the PM, dude.
I don't have Contacts only. >_> So, how's everyone doing? |
I hope it's not too late but I'm gonna do Fire
Update 1: I'm in Petalburg Woods with; Torchic Lvl 12 (Brave Nature (+ATK)) Zigzagoon (HM Slave lvl 2) |

|
Quote:
|
Oh my. I've found myself a tad underleveled here. Since Flannery was cake, and I'm doing bug, I suppose I just assumed Norman would be easy as well. Argh. Back to the desert for training.
Flannery Defeated! SHEDINJA the genderless Shedinja - Level 23 Simba the male Ninjask - Level 23 Pidgeot the female Dustox - Level 26 Murmur the male Mudkip - Level 23 Leonidas the male Beautifly - Level 26 Bubba Gump the male Anorith - Level 21 In storage: Tina Fey the female Poochyena - Level 14 (HMSLAVE) |
can i choose Mudkip as my starter, and then use it becasue the first ground type isn't until near the second gym?
and if it evolves by the time I find my first ground type, can I still use it? |
Quote:
So even if you're running a Ground monotype, you could even use Treecko or Torchic. |
so I can keep using my starter regardless of what type I'm doing?
|
i probably won't be able to do it, i broke a finger in my left hand, <.< i will still try though
|
ouch dude, that sucks.
anyways, here is my first update. I've never played Emerald before. I've played sapphire. it should be close to the same right? 11:03 start time. 0 pokemon 0 badges I chose Treecko, because I think it'll be easier for me when some water types come at me. beat May Treecko Lv.7 helped Wally caught a marill as a water HM slave. LV. 5 the damned double battles forced Marill to lv. 7 TT_TT Beat Roxanne Treecko lv. 16 Marill Lv. 7 after Marill gained another level due to the frequency of double battles in this game, I caught a Nincada so it can be in the Double battles instead. Beat May in Rustboro Grovyle Lv. 18 Nincada Lv. 8 Marill Lv. 8 I tried to fight Brawly, but his Mukuhita KO'ed my entire team. So I ran into the cave, caught a geodude, delivered the letter, then trained until Grovyle was Lv. 24 then I beat him with a screech/quick attack combo! woo! Grovyle Lv. 24 Geodude Lv. 10 Nincada Lv. 10 Marill Lv. 8 12:04 |
thanks, i can still play, it just hurts lol
|
Hey guys,

Small Update today.
Tate & Liza Defeated!!! (And GOD, did they take forever!!!) -Tentacruel L37 -Crobat L37 -Weezing L37 -Swalot L37 -Seviper L37 -Vileplume L38 (Thanks ArcticGlaceon, for letting me know about the Leaf Stone) It looks like some of the contestants are starting to get through the game pretty fast. Good luck to all of you, because, even though I currently have seven badges, I feel like I'm not going to be the one to win this challenge. First off, I have NO idea how I'm going to go through the Battle Frontier (Factory excluded) with only the poison types of Emerald. Secondly, I've been slowing lately because I also have college stuff to do as well. However, I'm still going to be trying to do as well as I can, and I hope you can all do your best as well. I'm rooting for all of you! |
I'll go with...Hmm...Uh...Bug...No! Uh...
Battle Frontier is absolutely 100% impossible. I'll have a bet on that. A real bet. |
