BIG UPDATE WHOOO HOOOO

I wiped the floor with norman using my vigoroth, zangoose, and alot of soda pop. i currently am using a marill as a HMslave (work you little rat) and am about to go to lilycove for tm blizzard to easily beat winona and praying for my focus punch on vigoroth soon. 5 Badges and soon will be 8.XP Movesets right now are alittle mixed from what i was planning on from the beggining so ill hold out on those for a while.
(they would cause some criticism i know but its pretty easy to beat the game this way)

Linoone lv 36
Vigoroth Lv 39
Loudred Lv 37
Spinda Lv 33
Zangoose Lv 36
(Girafarig)-wanting to get also on my way to lilycove
Zigzagoon-pickup artist and HM slave
Marill-HM slave

MEMO!!!! DO NOT USE NORMAL TYPE POKEMON FOR MONOTYPE CHALLENGES UNLESS YOU CAN TRADE FROM OTHER GAMES IT TAKES A LONG TIME!!!!!!

.Ozymandias November 14th, 2008 2:53 AM

Hi again! My Ruby just got back from Nintendo, and having just checked your list, you still have no one to do Ghost! So can I switch from Normal to Ghost? Thanks in advance,

celuthea ^^

Tyranitar042 November 14th, 2008 6:32 PM

ok i know i am posting quite a bit but there are quite a few changes made in my pokemon so here it goes

Linoone Lv. 43
Slaking Lv. 44
Spinda Lv. 43
Girafarig Lv. 39
Loudred Lv. 46
Zangoose Lv. 42

I am trying to train a bit more so i wont have such a problem with the elite four but i still have the twins to take on and then more training as i go through the game and should be at the e4 in a few days.

KadabraK November 14th, 2008 7:14 PM

Well, actually I could do ground with emerald, the other thread isnt so popular and seems dull.

Anyway, if I can't i'll post my results XD.

Name: Brendan (lol) Rival: May

Beat May on Route 103. Went on to Rustburo, beat Roxanne with my Marshtomp (Lvl. 17 at the time) Went on to Dewford, beat Brawly pretty easily, delivered the letter and went on to Slateport.

Beat Team Aqua at the museum, gave Capt. Stern the Devon Goods.

After three tries, I beat May's Grovyle with a crit. hit tackle XD (I was lvl. 29, grovyle 20?) Went to Mauville and had a Field day with Wattson's electric type. Went and got the exp. share and got the strength HM. Caught a Numel and trained it on some surrounding trainers.

Team:
Marshtomp Lvl. 33
Tackle
Take Down
Mud Shot
Water Gun

Numel Lvl. 22
Growl
Tackle
Ember
Magnitude

Nincada HM Slave
Cut
Flash

Marill HM Slave
Rock Smash

Currently playing, so I'll be progressing and plan to at least defeat flannery tonight (YAY more field days)

Eucliffe November 14th, 2008 7:19 PM

Heya! Is it too late to join?

If it isn't, can I take on the Steel type? And if that's taken in an earlier post, then the Electric type?

Oh, and forgive me if this has already been answered, but since there are only as certain amount of Steel types (since you can't get Registeel or Beldum until much later), it's OK to have other types (e.g. your starter) until you get enough of your designated type, right? Or am I wrong? ><'

Tyranitar042 November 14th, 2008 7:36 PM

since you have to beat the e4 2 times then you can get a beldum for the second run through but you will have to get which ever you can to beat them the first time and electric is still open

Eucliffe November 14th, 2008 7:38 PM

Yes, yes, I understand that.

So in total, I'll be able to get a Mawile, a Skarmory, an Aggron, a Magneton, a Metagross (but only on my second run), and a Registeel. And since I'll be using an emulator (if that's alright), I probably won't get Jirachi unless I use codes, which I won't 'cause I like beating the game without cheats. And if the legendary braille trio can't be used, then I'll probably use my starter in its place.

Tyranitar042 November 14th, 2008 7:46 PM

go ahead and start nobody has called it off yet so i guess thats fine that you go ahead and play but thats not up to me but more the merrier right lookin forward to posts from you your team sounds interesting and cant wait

Eucliffe November 14th, 2008 8:04 PM

OK then...

Just an outline of my planned team:

Character Name: Ruby *shot*
Pokemon~
Mudkip-Swampert - Zuzu if male *shot again*, Zuri if female (will be my starter); gonna try and get it to be shiny, if OK O.o Though knowing my luck, it'll probably be regular color...
Aron-Aggron - Koko if male, Kori if female
Mawile - Kuku if male, Kuri if female
Skarmory - Mumu if male, Muri if female
Magnemite-Magneton - Coli (mixing up its Japanese name "Coil")
Beldum-Metagross - Baru (the last part of Beldum's Japanese name; this will be a replacement for some other Pokemon)
Registeel - Jiji (I probably won't use it though, even if it isn't "uber")
Swablu-Altaria - Chichi if male, Chiru if female (because it can learn two Steel moves via TM)
Anorith-Armaldo - Nono if male, Nori if female (it can learn Metal Claw, and plus, even if it isn't a Steel type, it looks kinda close to one)

The ones in bold are my definite team members.

It's never too late too join and yes you may only use your starter until you get a steel type and since mahwile and Aron are the first two steel types you have to get one of them. Oh yeah and now I've decided to change the rules now anyone can join at any time they want.

Eucliffe November 15th, 2008 8:24 AM

OK! Though I may need Zuri for the second, third and fourth gym leaders... Especially since I would have probably five Pokemon at most (since I'm still thinking of putting an Altaria on my team just to help).

So far...

-Decided not to battle some trainers so that when I get my first Steel Pokemon (or both Mawile and Aron), I can battle those trainers to raise their levels.
-Beat Roxanne pretty easily with Zuri; I have to go get the Devon Goods now

My Team is:

Zuri - Female Mudkip, Level 15 - Modest Nature (+Sp. Atk., -Atk.; likes Blue Pokeblocks) - Tackle, Bide, Mud-Slap, Water Gun

Yeah... Kinda kept restarting so I'd get a Mudkip with a Modest nature ('cause I want her to be in Beauty contests). I was even more lucky that I got a FEMALE Mudkip with a Modest nature O.o

Circuit November 15th, 2008 1:50 PM

AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH! Damn it!! Still no bloody sp to trade with! My careless friends lost theirs. I'm still waiting for the trade to be secured then will start so I can have a big first update.

I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but you have to use only steel types, (starter until) so you can't use an altaria for "help" which is why it's called a mono-type challenge, steel only. :P

Ok, heres my update.

Beat Flannery pretty easily, I KILLED her with Swampert and Numel, :P
Caught a Sandshrew, evolved into Sandslash and also caught a trapinch, will go back soon for baltoy.

Beat Norman after 2 attempts, owned with a self destruct from graveler XD (Slaking sucks when it's parylized :()

Muddy Water

Numel Lvl. 31
Tackle
Take Down
Ember
Magnitude

Graveler Lvl. 27? (forgot)

Planned team:

Um guys I don't know if you guys are still participating in this or not, but I can't anymore so if you don't want me to have someone close this(which I don't want to happen) it would be appreciated if someone steped up and ran this.

I'll run it. I can't do my monotype challenge just yet so I could just run it. I don't want this to close anyway because I think it makes people have a bit more fun just doing it with one type.

Thank You! Congradulations you now run this.

Circuit November 23rd, 2008 12:23 PM

Righto, Here is another rules sheet that I can edit.

Rules
-This is NOT a race.
-All duel types are allowed. EX-Breloom is Grass/Fighting.
-No spamming
-No flameing
-No hacking
-No cheating
-No gamesharks
-Even ir the type you want is taken you may still use that type so long as that no more than three people are doing it.
-If you want to do a Dragon or Ice monotype you have to either trade a Dragon or Ice type over from another game or not do that type, considering those to types take a while to find.
-You may use your starter up until you get a the Pokemon of your type.
-If your starter is your type then you may use it.
-The chalenge is over when you beat the Elite Four for the second time.
-Now anyone can join anytime you want even if all types are picked.

If I think of more rules I'll post them. Please try to update as much as possible.

Hey you need to take my name off the list I'm can't do this challenge anymore.

Bibliophibian November 23rd, 2008 5:17 PM

I would love to join and do the Fighting type, though if that's not okay, I can start over and do Normal type.
It might give me enough motivation to actually finish Ruby all the way, and I could use a challenge.

11/23
Spoiler:
-Started the game
-Got Torchic, (level 5, rash nature) trained it to level 15
-Caught a Shroomish (level 5, mild nature) in Petalburg Woods, trained it to level 11.

Next, I plan on evolving Torchic and getting Shroomish to level 15 before moving past the first gym.


11/24
Spoiler:
-Evolved Torchic
-Trained Shroomish to level 13
-Beat Roxanne with no problems at all; Shroomish leveled up to 15
-Got Cut HM
-Beat the Magma Grunt, etc.
-Leveled Combusken to level 20, and Shroomish to level 16
-Made it to Dewford
-Caught a Makuhita in Granite Cave (level 7, adamant nature)
-Trained Makuhita to level 15; Shroomish to level 17
-Got Flash HM (ick.)
-Delivered letter to Steven

Next, I plan to beat the Dewford Gym, train Shroomish and Makuhita high enough to evolve, and take Combusken to level 25.

11/25
Spoiler:
-Finished off the Dewford Gym with no problems
-Went to Slateport, delivered the Devon Goods, beat the Team Magma Grunts
-Moved on towards Mauville, caught a Zigzagoon (level 12, lax nature; HM/Pickup)
-Defeated rival
-Trained Makuhita and Shroomish until they evolved; trained Combusken to level 25
-Got Rock Smash HM
-Beat the Mauville Gym with the help of a few paralyze heals


Current Team:
-Combusken Level 28
Gender: Female; Nature: Rash; Ability: Blaze
Moves: Scratch, Double Kick, Peck, Ember

-Breloom Level 25
Gender: Male; Nature: Mild; Ability: Effect Spore
Moves: Mega Drain, Headbutt, Mach Punch, Leech Seed

-Hariyama Level 25
Gender: Male; Nature: Adamant; Ability: Guts
Moves: Tackle, Fake Out, Vital Throw, Arm Thrust

-Zigzagoon Level 12 (HM/Pickup only)
Gender: Male; Nature: Lax; Ability: Pickup
Moves: Tackle, Rock Smash, Cut, Headbutt

This will probably be my last update until other people post. I kind of feel weird editing so much, and this post is getting pretty long, thus the spoiler tags. >.>'
