Broadway January 12th, 2010 6:03 PM

Actually, scratch electric... I forgot Voltorb and Magnemite BOTH don't show up except in swarms, and I like them way to much to do without, plus I really dislike Pachirisu.

Instead, I'll do psychic. BRONZONG TIEM.

Yes, you can raise a Nincada.
Added you all.

Broadway January 12th, 2010 9:13 PM

Awesome!!

By the way, would it be okay to trade over an HM slave, since it doesn't affect the monotype part of things? I wanted to get an Aerodactyl for that purpose.

Fire Wolf January 12th, 2010 9:21 PM

You can trade over an HM Slave, as far as you don't use it in gym/Elite 4 battles.

Broadway January 13th, 2010 4:40 PM

Alriiiight!! First update.


-Started a fresh Platinum game, chose a male character, named him Chad, and named my rival Ryan.
-Chose Piplup for my starter, named him Bert. HM 'mon #1.
-Traveled up to Jubilife, grabbing a Bidoof along the way.
-Wandered out to Route 203 and ran back and forth hunting for Abra! They were not too scarce. I managed to catch three, hoping for a good nature (I think about eight got away), and out of two males and a female, the female, named Sayd, was best with a neutral nature, and the Synchronize ability.
-Went back to town and hopped into the union room to trade my Bidoof for an Aerodactyl egg, as my other HM 'mon.

Now I gotta level Sayd up so she learns something other than Teleport, and hatch the Aerodactyl. Time to terrorize the local population of Shinx and Kricketot.

Sign me up for Dragon please.Provided i can trade pokemon.

I'll hatch a Dratini for a starting pokemon, then move over eggs for Bagon and Trapinch.

Broadway January 15th, 2010 3:59 PM

Update, just a little one but I wanted to post because NOW I HAVE AN OFFENSIVE MOVE!!! Finally.

-Spent far, far too long grinding Abra from level 5 (arrrrrgh) to level 16.
-She evolved into Kadabra, and learned Confusion (yessss!)
-Breezed through Roark's Gym, I do believe I one-shotted everything, poor rock-types with no special defense...
-Now moving on northward towards Floarama.

Gonna be a lonely slog for Sayd until I can pick up a Meditite (blargh) and a Chingling...

To my understanding, Trading over Dratini is ok, because you don't get a Dragon untill after Eterna Forest, but aside from that, you can't trade. So Bagon and Trapinch are a no. Oh and sorry if I am over stepping any boundries.

EDIT:
Got to Pastoria,
Caught a Mairll HM slave,
Caught a Hoothoot HM slave,
Waiting for Drapion or Skorupi to appear in Great Marsh

mondays suck January 16th, 2010 2:51 AM

I haven't played last week, but I remember I was shortly before Hearthome, evolved my Machop and teached Meditie Brick Break so it could finally beat something.

xSeduction January 20th, 2010 4:10 PM

Sign me up, I'm going for Water type. (:

My journey so far in a nutshell:
Created my character, named Kayla. (Of course.)
Chose my first starter, Piplup, and named him Edward.
Caught my first HM Slave, a Machop. (Whom I forgot to nickname. -kicks self-)
Caught my second team member, a Psyduck named Giselle.
Beat Roark, after which Edward evolved into a Prinplup.
Defeated Team Galactic at the Wind Works building.

Current Battle Team:
http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w80/aassia/prinplup.pngEdward; Level 20
http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu287/VickyKuttie/Pokemon/Psyduck-1.gif Giselle; Level 17

Alternative January 20th, 2010 7:09 PM

This looks like fun!
I got one question though before I start.
If I got a Pokemon from my previous game and wanted it on my new game (which I will be doing to monotype challenge on), am I allowed to trade it over to my game, so long as I don't use it? I have an Arceus and I don't want to lose it just for a monotype challenge.

I will be participating using the type: Ground

Fire Wolf January 21st, 2010 12:52 AM

You can trade over pokemon if you want, that's fine ;)

Rawr? January 21st, 2010 1:58 AM

I just got pearl rom so i will do this.

I pick fire.

Edit:
I wanna pick water now.

empty streets January 21st, 2010 3:37 AM

One question :3 Sorry if this has been already mentioned here.
Is it obligatory to start a new game?
I know it won't be as fun without starting a new game, but the goal is to beat the Champion, so.. 0_0 I don't want to lose all of my pokemon that I worked hard on.

Dawn Rules January 21st, 2010 3:39 PM

can i do a flying monotype challenge plez?

Alternative January 21st, 2010 4:01 PM

I should really be getting to my first update. It will only be up to the first Rival battle though, since I haven't gotten any further. I'll update this post again when I defeat Roark.

Edit: I'll update this again when I get to Floaroma town, since I'm progressing through the game so swiftly.

Twinleaf > Jubilife Saga!
- Started game again, called myself Hayley.
- Called Rival Barry
- Did some Lake Verity stuff, chose Turtwig as starter.
- Went home, got the running shoes.
- Into Sandgem, obtained Pokedex, called Turtwig RageQuit.
- Home again and back to Sandgem, learnt how to catch Pokemon.
- Wandered through Route 202, training RageQuit to about level 12
- Jubilife City, got the Map and the Poketch.
- Barry, he's a pushover when it comes to battling.

*SAVE*

Jubilife > Floaroma Saga
- Travelled to Oreburgh, caught Geodude, named him TheBoulder
- Talked to Roark in the oreburgh Mine, grinded TheBoulder up a few levels.
- Roark, same as Barry with Battling.
- Travelled to Jubilife again, beat the Mysterious people with Lucas
- Went through Route 204 to Floaroma Town
- Helped defeat Team Galactic and Commander Mars
- Bought some honey and put it on the trees around Floaroma, hoping for a Burmy to train.

*SAVE*

It is compulsary to start a new game, it wouldn't be fun without defeating all the gym leaders :(. You can trade the pokemon you worked hard on to another save file though :).

Added everybody.
