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.

Brien October 4th, 2008 7:14 PM

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.

aaronburnsyou October 4th, 2008 7:45 PM

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)

Wulf October 4th, 2008 7:48 PM

Dibs on Psychic, infact, I'll start a new game now.
That all right, friend?

Cynic Kaka October 4th, 2008 9:41 PM

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.

Oh, it appears I won't be able to start with a Dustox then. :(

Anyway, 1st Gym Defeated!!
Pokemon in Team:
-Mudkip Lv13 (No poison types were available yet)

Cynic Kaka October 4th, 2008 11:41 PM

hmmm...

Glad to see your progress.

ShadowInfernape October 5th, 2008 1:12 AM

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?

Cynic Kaka October 5th, 2008 10:53 AM

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?

TheDeadpool October 5th, 2008 11:02 AM

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;.

Wulf October 5th, 2008 11:06 AM

I just beat the first Gym Leader about an hour ago, and just obtained my PokeNav

Cynic Kaka October 5th, 2008 11:14 AM

Congrats, Wulf!

What are your pokemon so far?

Wulf October 5th, 2008 11:16 AM

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.

Cynic Kaka October 5th, 2008 11:20 AM

Wulf, you know you can still use your Starter, right?

*hiding from inevitable yelling*

Wulf October 5th, 2008 11:24 AM

I know, but he can't learn cut.

Cynic Kaka October 5th, 2008 11:28 AM

Marshtomp can though.

I meant you could have used Mudkip against Nosepass.

Wulf October 5th, 2008 11:31 AM

Crap, I read misread the rules.
I'm stupid...

Cynic Kaka October 5th, 2008 11:32 AM

Lol, No you aren't! *Bidoof is though.*

Brien October 5th, 2008 11:39 AM

First one had Typo XD

This is the fixed version

Zetta-Chan October 5th, 2008 1:58 PM

I'l' take fighting please. Hehe, Breloom's gonna kick butt.

aaronburnsyou October 5th, 2008 2:26 PM

Brawly Defeated!!!

Current team:
-Golbat L22

-Mudkip L15 (I don't use it at all anymore)

EDIT: Brendan Defeated!!!
-Gloom L21

Wally Defeated!!!
(team hasn't changed, not even in level)

Zetta-Chan October 5th, 2008 3:39 PM

Okay, just beat the Rock Gym leader.

TheDeadpool October 5th, 2008 3:41 PM

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.

Brien October 5th, 2008 4:06 PM

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)

aaronburnsyou October 5th, 2008 4:18 PM

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)

Brien October 5th, 2008 4:27 PM

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.

Okay, I gotcha! (There's just no way I'd be able to defeat Wattson's Magneton without that Marshtomp, if you remember what type I am anyway)

Well, good luck with the rest of the challenge then!

Cynic Kaka October 5th, 2008 4:53 PM

I pity the fool who picks normal.

~SilverSoul October 5th, 2008 5:20 PM

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.

DARK_SANDSLASH October 5th, 2008 5:30 PM

Hey could i be Ice type in the Monotype challenge.

Wulf October 5th, 2008 5:41 PM

I got to Slate Port City (That's the name, I think...).
My Ralts evolved, also.

Brien October 5th, 2008 5:44 PM

Congrats wulf


and I do think we should be less frugle on duel types.

groudonlover October 6th, 2008 3:56 AM

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......

Trainer Kat October 6th, 2008 4:23 AM

I would love to take on Bug. They're my favorite.

Cynic Kaka October 6th, 2008 4:28 AM

Ok, Kat. You're in. Also, PM me the baners, groudon.

groudonlover October 6th, 2008 8:39 AM

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

Cynic Kaka October 6th, 2008 10:19 AM

You sent me the PM, dude.

I don't have Contacts only.

So, how's everyone doing?

Actually, I'm just waiting to be able to get a Leaf Stone to evolve it with. In the past, I remember finding one in the game without the use of shard trading, but I don't remember where I got it. Until I get it, however, it's staying a Gloom!

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?

You can use starters. :)
So even if you're running a Ground monotype, you could even use Treecko or Torchic.

Pyromaniac45 October 8th, 2008 7:41 AM

so I can keep using my starter regardless of what type I'm doing?

Water PKMN Trainer October 8th, 2008 8:18 AM

i probably won't be able to do it, i broke a finger in my left hand, <.< i will still try though

Pyromaniac45 October 8th, 2008 9:04 AM

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

Small Update today.

-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!

Ninja Caterpie October 8th, 2008 10:44 PM

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.
