i'd like to sign up for the couse of the GRASS Pokemons.

Limey-chan February 28th, 2009 3:03 PM

I'm already underway with a Monotype Challenge on my blue version but i'll definately join in this one when I eventually get that one finished! :D

And i'll also be happy to make any banners for anyone who requests one. Are you wanting individual banners for each type (Say for example someone who chooses Electric gets an Electric banner etc), a main banner for the actual Challenge or both? I'll be happy to provide them either way.

FalseSwipe February 28th, 2009 3:43 PM

I will take ghost. Since there are no ghost pokemon catchable before the 2nd badge, do I have permission to hack one into the first route and catch it?

DrawnVigilance March 1st, 2009 6:13 AM

ahh thank you CoolTrainer_Mike they are great, i will add them to the first page!

as for falseswipe you cannot choose ghost, you have to choose a type you can obtain before the second gym

BREAKINGBEN March 1st, 2009 6:26 AM

Ahh, yet another Red/Blue monotype challenge... >.<. When Monotype challenges were a new thing at PC, my first challenge was an R/B Monotype with Fire. I got to Victory Road but, since the challenge thread died, I never made it through D:!

That being said, I want to try again with Fire. (It was so much fun tanking Charizard through half of the game... then having to train an Flareon and Growlithe at the same time... >.>)

I'll probably start this today and move between this, my D/P Power House challenge, and writing my essay ^.^... But, if I can recreate what happened last time, I'll be in Celadon later today :D!

It turns out that I have started :D!!

Update:
-Restarted my Red version
-Named my Trainer Ryan
-Named my Rival Zach
-Withdrew the potion >.>
-Chose Charmander and named it Blaze (in honor of the original Blaze from my first challenge >.>)
-Easily defeated Zach while only losing 3 HP :)
-Caught a Rattata and a Pidgey for the Pokedex (so I can get Flash later on >.>)
-Beat Zach again, not as easily, but it still wasn't difficult.
-Blaze evolved :D!
-Caught a Weedle (Pokedex: 5)

Gym Battle: Brock:
Geodude surprisingly went down with 2 Embers and a Scratch (it was also burned during a critical hit... >.>, awesome). Onix wasn't that much harder. 4 Embers and a Burn and I won my first Badge... the Boulderbadge!!

-Bought a Magikarp for $500... a sound investment >.<... (Pokedex: 6)

Trainer: Ryan
Badges: 1
Team: Blaze is doing very well, actually.

iv decided to change the rule for posting one message, please post a new message for every 2 updates or so just so this thread doesnt die off, thanks :D

BREAKINGBEN March 1st, 2009 1:35 PM

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I'm worried my D/P challenge will die off >.>, but I would like someone else to do the challenge here T.T... I'm starting to get very lonely (lol).

Update, then:

-Made it through Mt. Moon (after having to go back and get more PP on ember a few times >.>)
-Chose the Helix Fossil (Not that is matters)
-Defeated Zach for the third time today very easily before Nugget Bridge!
-Swept Nugget Bridge and won a... Nugget...
-Misty was a lot easier than last time >.>. Scratch finally Prevails! Cascadebadge is now mine >:D!!!!

Trainer: Ryan
Badges: 2
Team: Scratch finally pwnd...

I would be interested in taking the challenge for water. I'm playing through Emerald right now so I won't be starting this until I finish that game. I've got 5 badges right now so I should be done pretty soon.

I've never actually played through red with Squirtle, so this should be fun.

xcthulhux March 2nd, 2009 1:23 AM

im confused. are you supposed to beat the game with nothing but your type or with a lead of your type?

you have to go through the game using only your type of pokemon that you choose from

BlitŻ March 2nd, 2009 5:37 PM

I WANT WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please?

Underoos March 2nd, 2009 5:51 PM

Hmm...how about I take this Monotype challenge now? Guess what I'm gonna choose? XD Well...I can't decide between fire or electric (to challenge myself more)...Eh, I guess I'll just go with Red version, fire pokemon.

FastTonyDeNiro March 2nd, 2009 10:21 PM

Ha I need to find another copy of red, because I have a full dex on my red version and I'm not starting a new game over it.

In that case maybe I need a blue version.

I could probably borrow my friend's brother's yellow version. I know it says "red/blue challenge" but would yellow be acceptable?

slls81 March 3rd, 2009 5:31 AM

Hey could I take poison please...

Harry Blue5 March 3rd, 2009 9:12 AM

Since I'm doing a bug-type in your G/S/C Monotype thing, I'll carry on the legacy on Nostalgia in this thread.

DrawnVigilance March 3rd, 2009 12:35 PM

sorry no yellow just red and blue

MessiahForHire March 3rd, 2009 12:38 PM

Hm, well, I guess I'll try this Monotype Challenge. Aaaaaaand... I guess I'll go with flying, on Red Version.
Just a question, do we have to use our type choice as soon as we get it, and are we allowed to use other types for training until they evolve?

slls81 March 3rd, 2009 12:41 PM

Okay, here we go... first update!

Update:
-Named my Trainer “Ben”
-Gave my rival the imaginative name... “Rival"
-Withdrew the potion (thought it might come in handy...)

-Tried to make my escape from Pallet Town, but was thwarted in my efforts by Prof. Oak :(
-Chose Bulbasaur (obviously)
-Struggled through against Rival (had to use my potion and everything...)
-Got Oaks Parcel, delivered it and received a pokédex.
-Caught a Level 3 Nidoran M.
-Made a quick visit to Viridian Forest to catch a Level 4 Weedle.
-Came back down to Viridian, and after some training beat Rival (with only Nidoran)
-Went through Viridian Forest, Weedle evolved to Kakuna.

Gym Battle: Vs Brock
In what may come as a surprise to you all I used Bulbasaur and its Vine Whip to beat both of Brocks pokémon in one hit... meaning I won a Boulderbadge.

you can train a pokemon that is not your type as long as it evolves into a pokemon of your type

MessiahForHire March 3rd, 2009 1:27 PM

Alright then, I guess I'll start now! Updating later on today...

slls81 March 3rd, 2009 2:14 PM

Well, both Pidgey and Spearow count as normal types. And you could get a Raticate and then replace it later on. :P
(Also, Missingno. is a glitch; you're not allowed to use those. :/)

**It's not spelled wrong. Mew is a psychic psychiatrist.


EDIT:
I just had an idea. Since Mew can learn all HMs, can I use it as an HM Slave? Or does it contradict Rule #6?

dratini, dragonair, and dragonite are the only dragon types in red/blue.

charizard is fire/flying, gyarados is water/flying, and aerodactyl is rock/flying.

lolwut March 9th, 2009 3:34 PM

how come champion lance in silver uses them and hes a dragon specific type trainer. And how come all of them learn at least 1 dragon type move?

FINAL UPDATE:

-TRAINING my team up to level 60:
-Scarlet evolved again!
-Got bored, andwanted to fight the E4, so I stopped halfway and went. But just before I fought them...
-TM time! :D

ELITE FOUR:

Lorelei: I stupidly pitched Scarlet aganst some of her monsters for thunderbolt... Scarlet tore through them, but eventually succumbed to painful, icy death.

Bruno: Alternated between using Scarlet (for Onix) and Ziz... Machamp killed Ziz, but died from recoil!

Agatha: Squishy destroyed her. Only got hurt from a Night Shade and Toxic once.

Lance: Easy-peasy. Chompy made himself useful! Also, FISHofDOOM one-shotted both the Aerodactyl (lvl 60) and the Dragonite (level 62). Aerodactyl's Hyper Beam only got him past half health because he was already hurt. I love that fish.

Final Battle: BUBBLES!: ...

in red/blue, there IS only one dragon type move, dragon rage. and Charizard, NOR aerodactyl learn them naturally. besides, even if they did learn them, it wouldn't make them any more dragon type. Snorlax can learn Surf, it doesn't make it a water type.

FastTonyDeNiro March 9th, 2009 9:56 PM

Check the pokedex man. Sorry but Charizard, Gyarados, or Aerodactyl are not dragon types. The first two make look like dragons but they're not.

If you want to use Dragonite, Charizard, Gyarados, and Aerodactyl on a team though, why don't you start a flying monotype challenge? They're all flying types.

Charmageddon March 10th, 2009 9:12 AM

I really don't see the logic behind excluding yellow, but anyhow, I'll take on the fighting monotype challenge! (and get horribly, horribly destroyed by sabrina...) on Red version.

Upon closer inspection, one cannot do a fighting monotype without trading, so I'll change this post again to reflect what monotype I want to do.

Why can't you do a fighting monotype on red? You can catch a Mankey just outside Pewter City. Catch a Machop in the Rock Tunnel. Fish for a Poliwag anywhere. And get a Himonchan or Hitmonlee in Saffron.

Ok I get it now. There are only 4 usable fighting pokemon in red version. Dang I never realized that.
