Link's R/B/Y Monotype Challenge
 
These seem to suddenly be catching on, and I found my old Blue version, so I thought, what the heck? I love these Monotype challenges and thought it would be cool to open my very first one. I didn't see a rule saying I had to ask for permission from a mod, so correct me if I'm wrong! Anyways, let me get onto the rules:

Rules
.You may keep your starter (This includes Pikachu in Yellow, or course)
.You may have a HM slave on your team, but it must be only to teach HM's to! You may not battle with this pokemon at all! If you're forced to battle with this pokemon because you ran out of your others, then lose on purpose. It should be easy if you never train it, right?
.No hacking pokemon using something like a GameShark! Yeah, that is cheating! (PM me to request using something like this if you just have to use it) You may, though, use the glitches in the game, including the Mew one on the nugget bridge.
.You may trade pokemon from other games at the very beginning of the game as long as they fall in the 2-10 level range.
.This will not be a race. Take your time at an easy (or mega fast) pace. Try to update every one or two days with news about your journey.

And now to the types......

Types (There will be one person per type)
Grass- Jake
Fire- L'Viaquez
Water- DarkTyphlosion157
Normal- Brien
Flying- Kevmysta
Bug- Water PKMN Trainer
Electric-
Fighting- JollyRoger25
Ground-
Rock- runner12326
Poison- Dark_Link12
Psychic- Joey the Cockroach

If I missed a type, let me know please. I left ice out on purpose because of the lack of ice pokemon in the 1st gen. games. Once you sign-up and I say you're in, you may start your challenge. Good luck to everybody!

(.:God:. [or however you type your name] I think you were the one who started this Monotype thing in the first place, right? Anyways, I'll give you credit since you've already had a similiar challenge.)

If somebody could make banners, that would be great. I've tried already and they stunk! A prize? I'm not sure of one yet, but I'll try to think of a good one. So far, it'll probably be a freebie pokemon of any type of your choice for the challenge!

~SilverSoul October 9th, 2008 11:09 AM

Sure, I'll add you. Butterfree is a bug type so it'll work.

Water PKMN Trainer October 9th, 2008 11:12 AM

woooooohooooooooooooo October 9th, 2008 11:57 AM

Seem's sweet
I'll Take electric
And since im doing it on Blue version and i have
no yellow Can i Use my gameshark to get my starter pokemon to be a magnemite or electabuzz?

DarkTyphlosion157 October 9th, 2008 12:43 PM

I'll take Water. Gives me Gyara and Blastiose to use for a while, until I get Lapras and Starmie.

~SilverSoul October 9th, 2008 1:35 PM

To wooooohoooooooooo: You can keep your beginner pokemon no matter what it is. You can capture a Pikachu at the beginning and then you'll have your beginner and the Pikachu until you can capture pokemon like Electabuzz and Magnamite.

DarkTyphlosion: Okay, you're in.

Alex October 9th, 2008 1:42 PM

I claim fire!

Yes, this is going to be so fun. :>

pokehunter123 October 9th, 2008 1:43 PM

ill take grass plz

PS i think Firered and Leafgreen is the exact same as blue and red

~SilverSoul October 9th, 2008 2:01 PM

To L'Viaquez: Okay, I'll add you

To pokehunter123: Okay, I'll add you as well. There are slight differences between the two generations of games. I like red and blue because they are so classical.

woooooohooooooooooooo October 9th, 2008 2:30 PM

I guess you can use it so you can get one electric pokemon so you'll have that plus Pikachu so you can put your starter away. It's a while before a lot of electric pokemon appear. You have permission to use it one time only. Say thank you. :)

~SilverSoul October 9th, 2008 4:19 PM

I thought I would go ahead and post my first update about my adventure since I just turned off my Blue version.

Day One
Just started my game. I named myself Blue and my rival Red. Creative, I know.

-Received a Bulbasaur as my starter (almost forgot that it is a poison type as well)
-lost to my rival (it was a fluke I swear!!)
-got the pokedex from Professor Oak
-went to route 2 and captured a level 2 Nidoran Female

That's all for the moment!

Current Team
Bulbasaur- Level 5
Nidoran Female- Level 2

Alex October 9th, 2008 4:49 PM

We're free to exploit R/B/Y's insanely fun glitches right? As long as we don't use them to break any rules?

To Kevmysta: Sure, I'll add you.
To Joey the Cockroach: Okay, you may have psychic and yes, multi-type, duel type, whatever you want to call it IS allowed. This would be so much more lame without it.
