Single color challenge for R/S/E.
 
Ok. I've seen a lot of monotype/species challenges, as well as single Pokemon runs. Well, I thought, why not have a challenge for one color?
For this challenge, you may pick ONE out of ten colors:
Red-
Blue-
Green-
Yellow-SvobobaMT
Purple-
Pink- Mewliveson
Brown-Orgamon
Black-
Gray-
White-Vuallam

To explain more, you may use ANY Pokemon that are ONE of these ten colors. For a list of colors and Pokemon, I have included a list at the bottom of the rules.

Rules for challenge:
1. NOT a race.
2. Have fun.
3. You may use ANY Pokemon, as long as it falls under the color you have chosen.
4. Post your progress as much as possible.
5. I will also post everyone who finished. The first to finished will be displayed before everyone (Congrats btw)
If you choose a Pokemon, (Ex Manetric) and your color is yellow, note that Electrike is not yellow. However, you may still use Electrike, but you MUST ONLY train it to get it to evolve. Only AFTER it has evolved, can you use your other Pokemon.
IF you are not able to retrieve your color until a few towns later, you may ONLY use your STARTER Pokemon until you get to your desired colored Pokemon
Ex. Black. Black is the LONGEST to get. Usually. The FIRST Black colored Pokemon available is Mawile.

And lastly, if you have a basic Pokemon, who evolves into a Pokemon that is a DIFFERENT color than the color you chose, you may NOT evolve the basic Pokemon.
Ex. Wingull. If you wanted a Wingull on your team of white Pokemon, you are not allowed to evolve it into Pelipper as Pelipper is classified as yellow.

Other than that, more than one person may sign up per color. If you choose to CHANGE your color, you must do so BEFORE you get to Dewford. (Meaning dont get to Brawly and then decide to switch)

Here is the list of the colors and Pokemon: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_color

It seems that if this WAS a race, one person would have won. That person, is Rentorar! Finished in less than one day, so congrats! I dub thea, Speed Demon!

Cynic Kaka December 7th, 2008 11:53 AM

Wait, if I pick Blue, can I still get Torchic?

I'd like Blue, please, if that's OK~

GO ahead. Again, be sure to check out the list!
^w^

Eucliffe December 7th, 2008 12:04 PM

'K. In that case, if it's alright, I'll post my prototype team:

Swampert
Altaria and/or Salamence
Gyarados
Masquerain
Swellow
Lanturn or Wailord or Walrein or Kyogre ><'

Yeah... A bunch of Water Pokemon, but anyone can figure that. Can't see how Milotic's classified as "pink" (I think it should be yellow, if you ask me), but what the hey?

Yes but when it evolves you must only train it until it evolves.

Eucliffe December 8th, 2008 10:08 AM

Well, took me a while to get this up. Since my internet stopped working, I couldn't post my progress. So this is from yesterday (as much as I can remember):

Mudkip (Kip)
Everstone
Female
Level 21
Quiet Nature
Knows Tackle, Bide, Mud-Slap, Water Gun
Other Notes: I'm planning on keeping her a Mudkip just so she can learn Hydro Pump ><' Oh, and I actually planned on using her in Beauty contests, so I SR'ed for a Mudkip with a Quiet nature until I got one; I'm glad she also ended up being a girl, since I love girl Pokemon :3

Ralts (Ruri)
Female
Level 11 (or 12)
Knows Growl, Confusion, Double Team
Other Notes: I'm keeping her on my team temporarily. Ruri is also going to be my Smart contest Pokemon, even though I know her nature doesn't care whether she eats bitter PokeBlocks or not.

Gyarados (Hydra)
Female
Level 20
Knows Splash, Tackle, Bite
Other Notes: I had too much patience training her. I'm lucky to have gotten a Rare Candy and leveled her up after she reached level 19. I waited quite a bit to beat Brawly, mainly because I was spending my time leveling Hydra up.

Oddish (Ode)
Female
Level 13
Knows Sweet Scent, Absorb, Cut
Other Notes: Ode is just for cutting stuff up. Nothing else to say (OK, she's to find Pokemon without me walking around the grass).

What I Plan to Do:

-First get to Mauville and get a Mach Bike. I recently beat my rival (May; I named myself Ruby), so I'm on that route.
-I'll put Kip in the daycare with a Pokemon that she gets along with.
-I'm going to pick up the Egg then go back to Route 102 in hopes of finding a Surskit.
-Once the egg hatches, I'm training the Mudkip until it evolves, and use it to beat Wattson.
-The Surskit I'll train afterwards.

Pysncrono December 8th, 2008 12:07 PM

Eucliffe December 9th, 2008 7:47 AM

My current progress:

-Caught Surskit in Route 102, named him Silk
-Reached Mauville, got Bike
-Breeded Kip with Silk and got an egg
-Hatched the egg in Slateport
-Trained Zuzu (male Mudkip) 'til he evolved
-Beat Wattson
-Currently growing Chesto Berries to turn into PokeBlocks

My team is the same, with the addition of Silk (who is currently level 14), and Zuzu was only for battling Wattson, so I will not use him pretty much :/ My Pokemon have gained a few levels (Ruri especially, since I gave her the Exp. Share), but...

What I Plan to Do Next:
-Make Blue PokeBlocks out of the Chesto Berries and give them to Kip, then enter a Normal Rank Beauty contest.

Ikwaylx December 9th, 2008 9:07 AM

The Purple Adventure - Part 1
 
Ok, it's time to begin!
I'll be playing Pokemon Sapphire since Sableye is in the purple group and I totally want a Sableye.
Anyway, I'll be using images to tell the story. This is kinda like those 'Let's Play!' things you may see floating around the net.
I have a question though: does it matter if I use a HM slave that isn't purple? Mudkip can learn loads of HMs and there are no purple water types availiable in R/S/E.

Beginning
Spoiler:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/Ikwaylx/PokemonSapphirePurple.png
Well, here we go! Let's get this 5 year old train wreck a rollin'! But this time, it's much more purple.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/Ikwaylx/PokemonSapphirenaming.png
My name is inspired by glitch pokemon, oddly enough.
Fun Fact: This name produces the two fossil missingnos and the ghost missingno in Red/Blue, so you can tell how it inspired me.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/Ikwaylx/PokemonSapphireTruck.png
Ever wonder what's in those boxes? I'm not buying the idea that it's furniture, no way! Those boxes are way too small. However there's not enough in the rooms after they move in that could be in all those boxes, so what could be in 'em?


Anyway, you probably don't want to hear the full story, so I'll go ahead and skip far ahead

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/Ikwaylx/PokemonSapphirePokedexget.png
I just got my PokeDex as you can see, and my next step is to find me a purple companion.
The Bad:
A: There are no Purple Pokemon until Dewford
B: Scratch that, there is, but it's bloody Cascoon, useless to me.

The Good:
I'ma havin' fun already

Hopefully things will pick up soon, I'll make another post once I reach Dewford. Until then I'm only using my starter who I've nicknamed 'Slave'

Dominus_Draconis December 9th, 2008 11:40 AM

Alright, beat the second gym and then caught a goldeen and delivered the letter before heading to slateport, my party is now my goldeen, level 17, my combusken, level 25, and my nincada HM slave whom I plan to use till I can get a good rod and catch two corphish, one to use as a party member and one as a new HM slave so I can have even my HM slaves be red, with the exception of fly, as the only red pokemon I could get with fly would be Latias, and I do not particularly want to spend a move slot on that, plus I want to try to avoid legendaries, plus it comes so late on

Ikwaylx December 9th, 2008 12:25 PM

Part 2

Dewford and catching stuff - click on the spoiler if you want to see stuff

Spoiler:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/Ikwaylx/PokemonSapphireHellofromDewford.png
Hello from sunny old Dewford! The city has more luxurious activities than you can throw a Makuhita at! Alright, I'll be heading off for Granite Cave to catch me two key pokemon:

Zubat - named Zuarich
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/Ikwaylx/PokemonSapphireZubathooray.png

And Sableye - named Sabin.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/Ikwaylx/PokemonSapphireSableyeHoorah.png

Info:

Zuarich: Brave Nature
His basic role will be key flyer and annoyer throughout my Purple jorney.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/Ikwaylx/PokemonSapphireZustats.png

Sabin: Quirky nature
Sabin's role is to be awesome, and that's all there is to it. Go Sabin!
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/Ikwaylx/PokemonSapphireSabstats.png

More stuff will come when something cool happens or we face Brawly.



Dominus_Draconis December 9th, 2008 4:00 PM

Ikwaylx December 10th, 2008 12:48 PM

Continued with Mudkip.
Finally caught a Slakoth.
After long searches, found and caught two Shroomish in quick succesion.
Continued on through petalburg woods and depositied Mudkip in the Computer.
Took down Roxanne with one Shroomish, who started at level 11.

Current Team:
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/b/ba/Spr_4d_285.png
Shroomish Lvl 14
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/c/cf/Spr_4d_287.png
Noddy/Slakoth Lvl 8
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/b/ba/Spr_4d_285.png
Shroom/Shroomish Lvl 7

Objectives:
Get Wingull back.
Go to Dewford Town.
Catch a Geodude.
Maybe catch a Makuhita (Yellow) and quickly train it and evolve it into a Brown Hariyama.

Just note that you are NOT allowed to evolve Shroomish. And when Slakoth evolves he/she can be the only one you can train until it evolves again into a brown Slaking.

No they do nt.
As long as your other pokemon are. Is Linoone in the brown listing?
Cuz if not then you are not allowed to use him

Riceeman December 24th, 2008 1:37 AM

No, Linoone is in the white category. You should have kept it as a Zigzagoon.

Then he has to either start all over or get another Zigzagoon and train it.

Orgamon January 24th, 2009 6:15 AM

If Its Ok Ill take Brown Please and I will be using Emerald just so you know =]

Vuallum January 24th, 2009 11:56 PM

I'll undertake a White challenge if nobody else has taken it without me seeing (yeah didn't read any post after #1) on Ruby

Tanooki January 25th, 2009 11:36 PM

I'll take Yellow, if it's still available. I'll be doing this on Ruby.

A day of progress that I can finally post without editing or double posting,
White Challenge:
-Began the story as a female named Angel (Magic the Gathering, most of the angels are white creatures), Picked Mudkip, named HMSlave, slew the level 2 poochyena, lost to Brendan, decided the 1500 loss wasn't worth a restart, beat Brendan, got my pogeydex

-Went to Route 102 to capture my first 2 pogeys, Zigzagoon (to be Linoone) Female Bold and Ralts (To be Gardevoir) Female Rash, Cleared the noob start trainers up to roxanne's gym

-Disobeyed the rule of "must only train non-color-to-be-color-pokemon" in order to have a chance, training the Ralts with the lead-switch exp method. After getting Ralts to 6, I grinded Ralts to 13. Then defeating Roxanne with some Growl*Double Team abuse, afterwards captured a Slakoth (to be Vigoroth) who was Female Sassy. I had a contradiction here because both Slakoth and Zigzagoon aren't in the white group till evolution :P.

-Rescued Peeko from the ebil of Team Magma, was entrusted with the task of a letter and a package delivery...Had [sarcasm]LOADS[/sarcasm] of fun dealing with the annoyance of Truant grinding only it to level 18 through the various early training grounds.

-Defeated Brawly and minions with ease due to Ralts' confuzzlezion, proceeded to Slateport with Vigoroth, Zigzagoon (concentrating) and Ralts, defeated the beach and took my 6 Soda Pops, threw the Magma thugs out of the Aquatic museum.

-Proceeded Northward, through the trick house and the rival (who was EZ). Grinded to 25 on Route 117. Grabbed the Rock Smash HM and Gained another level for Kirlia to learn Psychic to fight Wattson. Had a pretty annoying battle with Wattson as he saved a Super Potion for Magneton, but with Calm Mind and Double Team for Kirlia it was overcome.

-Traveled moar north toward Mt.Chimney, then captured a female Zangoose before heading into Meteor Falls, following which I proceeded south to Rustboro then through the tunnel earning myself HM Strength, then back to Mt.Chimney to face Archie the ebil mastarmind.

-Went through the Jagged Pass to reach Fellarbor town, Flannery was easily crushed by 3 sword dances and quick attack assault from the new zangoose. I already had the national dex from trading with my Emerald... and not putting the national pogeys in the PC, so I thought I'd import a Seel Egg.

-After the hatching of the Seel Egg, I spent many hours catching it up (to 30 o.O). After those many hours of training, I faced Norman, who was piss easy imo, his 2nd slaking kept trying to use Focus Punch, allowing me to just use Slash with Vigoroth and cancel him out.
Here's the team:

Also, a level 5 tropius who has Fly, Strength, Rock Smash, and Flash
And a level 10 tentacool who has Cut, and will have Surf, Waterfall, and Dive

Mewliveson January 29th, 2009 9:07 AM

Is pink still open? Awesome. I would like to join. I have all three versions but I will make my pink team on emerald.(because thats where most of the pink pokemon are available) :)

(Dusty<3) January 29th, 2009 1:36 PM

Go ahead.
But I'd prefer if everyone started using Pokemon WITHIN the selected game. Makes it less challenging if you just hack your way through
>~>;

Eucliffe January 29th, 2009 1:45 PM

ZOMG, I didn't think this still existed! Sorry, but I rarely check out this side of the forums ><'

I honestly am still trying to be part of the challenge, really ^^ I just didn't make much progress, plus ever since I got Platinum I've basically been playing that on my DS D=

Though some of my Pokemon gained a couple levels. Battled the people in the Trick House, battled the Winstrates, went on to battle Gabby and Ty, then a couple campers. Oh, and my team is still blue except for the Ralts.

Mewliveson January 29th, 2009 2:36 PM

Okay so I need a backup color because pink is only good for coordinators... So I guess I also would like to use green if thats possible :) I will use green for everything except coordinator challenges.

Rules for challenge:
1. NOT a race.
2. Have fun.
3. You may use ANY Pokemon, as long as it falls under the color you have chosen.
4. Post your progress as much as possible.
5. I will also post everyone who finished. The first to finished will be displayed before everyone (Congrats btw)

It's not hacking... all I did was get a ditto and a seel in my FireRed game and traded it over... Your rules state any pokemon. Besides Dewgong is actually less powerful than I thought it would be.

Update
-Travelled to the Weather institute to claim my Castform. Raised that castform in the desert to level 30 to be even with all my other pogeys (and learn the awesome Weather Ball)

-Thrashed my rival and the Flying Gym Leader ('Cause of Castform's Weather Ball *Ice* :P) and proceeded to Mt.Pyre to nab that Shadow Ball TM for the psychic gym battle.

-Dealt with magma in the 3 locales to enable surfing to Mossdeep, defeating the trainers on the route to and above mossdeep, talked with my mate Steven who gave me the Dive HM.

-Used Vigoroth and Linoone to harass Lunatone and Solrock to prepare for the onslaught of Castform (water) and a 3x Sword Danced Zangoose. Slew them both with about 2 shadow balls o.O

-Smashed Maxie, causing the whole universe die 'cause Groudon saw Maxie fail and use the Blue Orb. Chased Groudon to the Cave of Origin, where I claimed the Waterfall HM and struggled to capture him but eventually got him.

-Decided to be evil and taught Thunderbolt to Gardevoir, thus obliterating Wallace and his minions, although I switched to Zangoose to take out whiscash, and used swords dance 3 times and she destroyed them instead.

-Trained in Victory Road for several hours, finishing up my training at the moment:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3534/3238068106_ec3e1eb917_o.jpg

The Tentacool and Tropius are HM slaves, Castform will also be in the Elite 4 team and is currently at level 46.

EDIT: The conquest of the Eleet faw

Sydney: Highly annoying, Focus Punch doesn't like to work when you've been Sand-attacked and is even more insulting when Mightyena's Intimidate weakens it, still defeated easily - Castform took Cacturne, Gardevoir took Sharpedo, and Vigoroth took Mightyena, Absol and Shiftry. Dewgong fainted to Sharpedo ><

Phoebe: Seems she knows how to counter a 3x Sword Danced Zangoose, her leading Dusclops used Curse to force me to switch (I'm not going to keep using potions for that), Gardevoir took out her first Banette with Psychic (which got spite'd... leaving 4/10 pp), Zangoose was brought back in for the 2nd Banette, to sword dance and shadow ball her way to victory, after 3 she OHKO'd the 3 remaining foes.

Glacia: Glalie's predictable "Glalie used Hail!" on first turn provided an easy Focus Punch nearly OHKO... surviving by a sliver of health just to get Punched again after using the full restore, Yawn + Slack Off + Focus Punch left her first Sealeo defeated in Vigoroth's wake. YawnPunch didn't work too well on the 2nd glalie, gardevoir stepped in after zangoose also fell to the Ice Beam slaughter, and finished off the match.

Drake: I insulted Drake's Shelgon with Weather Ball (Ice), but he was having none of that, throwing Flygon in to flamethrower my master of weather Castform, seeing as he next chose Salamence, I knew Castform couldn't survive another flamethrower, so Dewgong was sent in and cleaned up the remaining pogeys.

Steven: After failing against Steven twice I was raging pretty hard, leading the battle with Castform, destroying Skarmory in a single strike and taking Metagross out after a duel of Weather Ball nearly taking him out and then EQ nearly taking me out, thankfully castform is faster which allowed the victory, Claydol was sent out to EQ/Ancientpower Castform, I accepted she was going to fall so a Rain Dance was in order for Dewgong to smash it. Surprisingly Dewgong also managed to take out Cradily, scoring a freezehax from Ice Beam (which was followed by a full restore :S), 2 more ice beams took Cradily out, Armaldo followed, destroying Dewgong with ancientpower, Gardevoir was sent in for the kill and did her job, leaving only Aggron to fall to Vigoroth's Yawn + FPunch, after 4 Focus Punches, Aggron being asleep for 1, missing with Thunder for the last, and using full restores for the middle 2, Aggron was done.

Very challenging against Steven, all in all a fun challenge.
