D/P Monotype Challenge!
 
Approved by Color Me Evil

Introduction


You know, there is a serious lack of D/P challenges around here. I mean, a few have come up, but a rare few in this forum actually remain active (Kudos to the Scrabble Challenge, as you guys are doing fairly well with activeness), but the 3rd Generation ones are just so popular! Well, I feel a change is needed, does anyone else? Well, I don't care if you do! So, let's start a new challenger here shall we?

Rules
  1. This is NOT a race.
  2. Obvious rule: Use only your type.
  3. With Dual Type Pokemon, if it becomes your type, you can use it. For example, you can start of with Chimchar if you want to use a Fighting type team.
  4. No hacking/glitching WHATSOEVER!
  5. Legends are prohibited.
  6. As many people per type as you want :)
  7. You are allowed as many HM slaves as you want. Of course, the lesser the better, as you want all the slots your team can have. You are not allowed to level up your HM slaves.
  8. You can catch Pokemon for your Pokedex, but no leveling of them is allowed.
  9. Updates are REQUIRED. An update after every 3 gyms is the maximum amount of time you are allowed.
  10. You may use your starter Pokemon until you catch the first Pokemon of your type, then you are required to deposit it in the PC or you can use it as an HM Slave.
  11. A few types aren't recommended: Ice and Dragon. If you do want to use one of these types, you are required to trade ONE Pokemon of your type over at the earliest point possible (Ghost and Dark aren't on this list as you can catch Misdreavus (Sp?) and Murkrow in Eterna Forest).
  12. If you are able to obtain your type early on, no trading is permitted (Except for trade evolutions).
  13. You must gain your first type before the Eterna Gym battle.
  14. YOU CAN START WITHOUT MY APPROVAL!! The is no limit on types, therefore GO AHEAD.
  15. HAVE SOME FUN!!!!
Types and Challengers
  1. Normal: Jumpluff, Umbreon_Matt, Lila
  2. Fire: Sonido, demonic89
  3. Water: sasuneuchiha
  4. Grass: |:Hiro:|, troy_martin_7

P.S. I could attempt some userbars when I get the time. Probably won't be until around friday, though.

Jake♫ February 2nd, 2009 12:14 PM

Both of you: Welcome to the challenge!

Jack: Yeah, no trades if you can obtain your type early on (Like Starly)

Jumpluff February 2nd, 2009 12:21 PM

This is really confusing, What do we exactally do?

Anyways sign me up as Normal Type but explain actually what we do.

It is just for fun. You are supposed to complete the game as normally, but for fun you are limited to one type. Dual Types are allowed though (Like Starly can be used for both Normal and Flying). And you are added on

Akeraz February 2nd, 2009 2:15 PM

Another quick update before I go to sleep
- Levelled Starly up to lv.7
- Headed north of sandgem
- Beat all the trainers on route 202
- Encountered Lucas, who is a noob and told me I should carry more pokémon [screw him]
- Headed north of Jubilife
- Caught Lv.4 (M) Zubat (Night), Nicknamed Taboo

~SilverSoul February 2nd, 2009 2:26 PM

I'll take grass, please. I'll start once I beat my current game.

Blue Tomoshibi February 2nd, 2009 2:58 PM

Oh! Let me trade everything off of my Pearl and I'll do this. I just finished a Mono Pokemon challenge, (Pearl w/Chikorita) So I'm really in the mood for this kind of thing. I think I will play with Ice.

Now what will I start with...

EDIT:Forget Ice, I'll use Electric.

Rokusasu February 2nd, 2009 3:15 PM

Hmmm, I've never done this sort of thing before, and I've been looking for a challenge since I finished my 3rd Gen solo runs. Mind if I take Fighting? :3

(Excuse mah newbie-ness to these forums, I usually just play the hacks. XD)

Mattysaurus February 2nd, 2009 3:20 PM

I would like to join and use Normal types.

Im playing Diamond on an emulator.

Jake♫ February 2nd, 2009 3:50 PM

All of you are being added now :)

Blue Tomoshibi February 2nd, 2009 3:53 PM

Awesome, I'm going to transfer my Lopunny and Misdreavus off of my Pearl to my Platinum and then get started. ^^

~SilverSoul February 2nd, 2009 4:00 PM

All right. Quick question before I start. Can I get an eevee and a tangela on my game? I transfer them both as eggs, so they technically will be my original pokemon.

Rokusasu February 2nd, 2009 4:02 PM

Great, thanks. Just got to locate my Diamond now, and I'll get started. :3

Read Rule #12 please Link :P

Blue Tomoshibi February 2nd, 2009 4:10 PM

My Team will be Luxray(Blues), Pachirisu(Rock), and Pikachu/Raichu(Enker).

I'll be using the female trainer(Named Hikari) and My rival will be named Jun. I've just restarted and will be picking Piplup, so that my rival gets Turtwig.(That way I'll be at the disadvantage.)

~SilverSoul February 2nd, 2009 7:43 PM

*sigh* I'll try to get my first update up as soon as possible. I really don't want a Turtwig since I already have a high-leveled Torterra, so I'll probably just stick with Budew

- Followed the story through to choosing my stater, where I chose Chimchar.
- Went back home to continue the 'plot'.
- Trained Chimchar to lvl 9 before going to Sandgem.
- Got Pokedex/ bored by Lucas' tour of PokeCenters/Marts.
- Went home, was asked by rival's mother to give a parcel to "my little Noodle", which was quite amusing.
- Returned to Sandgem, then headed to Jubilife for more patronising advice from Lucas.
- Trained Chimchar to lvl 11 and arrived in Jubilife.
- Got the Quick Claw from a woman, and gave it to Chimchar to hold.

Will probably update again later, once I get back home. :D
