Cor, time for a big update.

- After screaming into a pillow over RALTS' arrogance I went and caught a Machop and traded it for Haley's Abra called Kazza
- I headed up north from Jubilife to Floaroma Town
- After bumping some Galactic heads together in the Valley Windworks and evolving Kazza in the process
- Realising that now Kazza is ignoring me aswell I went to have a scream
- I headed up to Eterna Forest and helped Cheryl through
- After a couple of tries I beat Gardenia. And rejoice, Kazza and my newly evolved KIRLIA actually listen to me! *runs naked through the streets*
- I caught a Meditite called Yamazaru
- I caught a whole bunch of Unown in the Solaceon Ruins and added Francis and Elise, the Unown F and E to my party
- I then caught a Mime Jr. and called him Sarumane (japanese for Monkey see, Monkey do :D)
- After heading over to Jubilife I wiped the floor with Maylene and quickly took off down to Pastoria
- I replaced Elise with Raffee the Girafarig
- I didn't have much trouble with Crasher Wake, apart from my trademark problem of Kazza not listening to me
- The Exp. Share helped Sarumane evolve in the gym battle

You may trade Kirlia back to change his name, I know how annoying it would get. However, you aren't allowed to trade items over, so you'll have to settle for a Gardevoir. I know, Gallade is so much cooler and better in every aspect, but rules is rules.

This sounds fun, please sign me up for a Fighting Monotype Challenge .
I'll be starting up, as soon as I get added to the list .

Rich Boy Rob May 16th, 2010 12:18 PM

Right, since I have already got a fairway into the Ultimate Monotype Challenge using Psychic and I'll reach Gen IV eventually, I've decided to switch over to Ghost type. I'm having a fresh start on a Platinum ROM, so can you switch me over?

Update #3(Sorry for the delay, haven’t had internet access or much time to play recently)
-After a few failed attempts at beating Wake due to my team getting its rear handed to it by Floatzel’s ice fang, I did some grinding, but that still didn’t help.
-Bought a bunch of X Defends and X Special Defends and taught Gastrodon Toxic
-Used a poison wall strategy to beat Wake’s gyarados and floatzel by using toxic and spamming x items to the point there attacks didn’t do much, and if I dropped into the yellow used a moomoo milk to avoid the extra brine damage. Once I was effectively walled, slowly chipped away until they fainted. and let Tortera Grass Knot Quagsire
-Chased the galactic grunt, and got the secret potion from Cynthia
-Healed the Psyducks and got a new errand to run for Cynthia
-Got to Celestic town and beat cyrus
-Received HM03
-Beat Nick in Canalave
-Went to Iron Island for some serious level grinding
-Gabite evolved
-Beat Byron rather easily
-Survived Team Galactic’s terror attack
-Traded a Heart Scale so Garchomp would learn Fire Fang, which I really hope will help handle Candice, because if Wake’s Floatzel was any indication, I might be in huge trouble.
-Headed to Lake Valor and beat Saturn there
-Beat Mars at Lake Verity
-Headed north to Snowpoint, found HM08 on the way
-Beat Candice without too much difficulty
-Went to Lake Acuity, and flew to Veilstone to play James Bond

ps (this is more fun than i expected)

Haxeray June 2nd, 2010 2:25 PM

Here comes another Update =] (scroll to the bottom to see how much badges i have gotten if you dont want to read this) :
-Now after i beat the grass gym leader, i grinded my Haunter and my Koffing (my cousin traded it to me) to lvl 30 and proceded onto the next town.
-After Eterna i went to Hearthome City and Talked to my mom in the contest area. Couldnt wait for my Haunter to DESTROY Fantina's team.
-(in real life) Convinced my cousin to trade me a Haunter for my Haunter, now i have a Gengar (so cool!!!!)
-After Hearthome went to the meaningless town of Solaceon and passed right by it.
-Next i went to Veilstone and defeated Maylene the fighting gym leader. After i beat her, helped Landon get his pokedex back.
-After That i went to Pastoria city and went to the safari/swamp game place and caught a Croagunk... i am very unlucky...took me HOURS of changing my DS setting and days... But i finally got one.
-Went in there and failed to beat Wake. =[
-Grinded for a couple of minutes (30 minutes =[) and finally defeated Wake.
-Chased the Galactic guy.
-Went to Celestic Town and stopped the guy from blowing it up.
-Got HM Surf =]
-Went to Jubilife city and surfed to Canalave City.
-I fought my rival and destroyed him.
-Fought Roark's dad, Byron. Wasnt very hard, but took alot of super potions.
-met with Prof. Rowan
-Very big Earthquake.
-Went to Lake Valor and took out all the guys there.ow
-Then i went to Hearthome city and then Killed Fantina with Gengar and her (Gengar is a Girl) Shadow Punch And Thunder. Now i have 6 badges.
-Then i went through a snowstorm to Snowpoint city.
-Grinded for about an hour and defeated The Snow gym leader (forgot her name).

Slither the Arbok:
-Lvl: 42
-Obtained by trading my piplup to my Cousin.

Toxik the Toxicroak:
-Lvl: 42
-Obtained in the Swamp/Safari thing in Pastoria.

Greenbat the SHINY Golbat:
-Lvl: 43
-Traded from my friend. He has Pearl so he said once i get Dialga, i can trade it to him for the shiny Golbat.


If you scrolled down, I now have a total of 7 Gym Badges.

If you read the whole thing Congrats!!!!!
P.S. (please forgive me for all my spelling errors. This is going by really fast!!!)

OHHH NOOOOOOO!!!!! I thought we could trade over any pokemon!!!! i forgot about Only one!!!!!!!!! DANG IT!!!!! IS it OK if i traded 2-3 poison types?????

myrrhman June 2nd, 2010 4:35 PM

Yeah, its fine. Just stop using 2 of them and you'll be ok. If you can get your Gengar back (the one that you traded to your cousin) you can use it again, and catch it up to the rest of your team.

Haxeray June 3rd, 2010 4:03 PM

Ok... I got rid of my Golbat and the Weezing. And i got the original C-thru (gengar) back. Now its time for an update:
-Spent an hour training my new Gengar.
-Got to Volkner and killed him with Toxicroak's earthquake.
-Got Waterfall from Jasmine.
-Went to Elite four.
-Had to make it through Victory Road (easier than expected)
-Beat Aaron with Gengar (the original one)
-I then beat Bertha with Tentacruel (EAZY PEAZY)
-Flint wasnt very hard either. Took out Lopunny with Toxicroak and his revenge.
-The psychic guy, (cant remember his name), wasnt very easy. Kept getting destroyed by Alakazam's Psychic. But its ok because i figure out Gengar learned Dark Pulse, but my cousin deleted it, so i went into the mine and got a Heart Scale. Then i beat Him.
-Finally i got to Cynthia..... WAS VERY HARD!!!!!!! Garchomp was taken out in one hit though, With tentacruel and Ice Beam (bough tit at Game corner).

!!!!!Now im the league champion!!!!!!!!

Hey um now that my mono-type is over, can i try the solo run. I wanna do Munchlax and Gengar but cant choose =[.....

The time on my computer is weird...

Myrrhman, ummm can i now delete my save file and start my solo run??
