Okay, now that we're done with that piece of business....
Get started! For those of you who don't know how this works you fill out the sign-up form and post it. After that, you're free to start your challenge and update! Unless King!, Weatherman, Kiyoshi, or R/S/E Monotype Challenge say otherwise, of course. So yeah, get started and have fun!
(P.S. If you've alreday started a challenge on the other thread, you can continue it here! Just post your most recent update, and a new sign-up form for easy input on the OP)

EDIT: I am now beginning to add teams next to the username in the list. This might get too cluttered, and if this happens the feature will only be moved to the champion section. Thanks!

Ecstatic April 30th, 2010 11:42 AM

Opera, no offense, But you must be somewhat clueless. The owner of the other HUGE thread, is the one that made this one, he just had to make a new one because the other thread was to inactive, so, Maybe you should know things before you post them.

The Doctor April 30th, 2010 11:42 AM

I didnt know durrr. He just told me

Xephyr April 30th, 2010 11:46 AM

I have a quick question. If I'm doing a Dark type run, am I allowed to catch a Seedot? Like, it's not dark until it evolves, so I'm not sure.

King! April 30th, 2010 11:58 AM

Okay everyone, the 'conflict' with Opera Ghost is over so no more mental harassment. xD
Yes, you are able to catch any Pokemon that evolve into your type. =P

I'll let Suicune edit the OP as his/her first test.... MUAHAHA

I've decided to update the OP instead while my other account is getting new pants. Welcome to the challenge!

Update:

Picked Torchic for cutting ability.
Super speeded through beginning until I get to the route with Ralts.
Search for about ten minutes:

http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9035/monopsy1.png
Yays.

http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/8481/pokemonruby01.png
Own.

With Torchic's help, I train Ralts until it gets confusion (this was really annoying). I then grind until ~12.

Moving on through the forest of fail. Oh look a city.

http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/2223/pokemonruby02.png
Oh noes.

http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/686/pokemonruby03.png
No problems here. Moving on.

I'm keeping Torchic in my party for now because I have no other way of dealing damage to Poochyenas, but as soon as I get a move on Ralts that hurts Poochyenas or I catch a Meditite, I'll probably get rid of it.

Itz Spadezz April 30th, 2010 6:35 PM

Update:

Dewford. Went into the cave.


http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4926/pokemonruby04.png
Got lucky to catch this guy with a Great Ball.

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/6422/pokemonruby05.png
Training this thing to level 16 was one of the most painful things I've ever done. Thank god for super speed. Also, I mispelled Houdini on purpose.

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/2538/pokemonruby01x.png
If you honestly thought this gym would give me any trouble whatsoever, you have mental problems.

Went through the tunnel without flash cause i'm too cool for that and eventually got an evolution
http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/2223/pokemonruby02.png

Found Steven, blah blah.


http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1102/pokemonruby01v.png
I went ahead and did this to make me virtually unstoppable for a while.

I don't think I encounter any new psychic types for a while. So it's just Alakazam and Kirlia (soon Gardevoir) for a bit. Unless Meditite is found somewhere. Which I don't know if it is.

myrrhman April 30th, 2010 7:03 PM

So, are you guys going to update this thread with the champions of the old one?

I'll try a Ghost Run:

Oh May. You suck so bad.

http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/686/pokemonruby03.png
Seriously Wally. Life, Pokemon, and everything in between. You're doing it all wrong. Watch, now that I've said this, I bet that right when I'm about to exit Victory Road, you're gonna pop up and battle me and you're gonna be some epic trainer.

Wait, isn't that exactly what happens? @[email protected]

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4926/pokemonruby04.png
This isn't even fair anymore. Learning Psychic at level 26? Wut?

http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/6422/pokemonruby05.png
Not scary at all.

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/1508/pokemonruby06.png
Like you had a chance.

I start using only Kirlia against people cause I wants me a Gardevoir.

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8089/pokemonruby07.png
And then I gets me a Gardevoir.

Alright, I'm getting to a point where a couple new team members can be found. Spoink and Baltoy. Whoo?

King! April 30th, 2010 7:52 PM

Yes, I will, if they want me too and post their info.

Xephyr April 30th, 2010 8:08 PM

New team memberrr

Meteor Falls? Hmm. I don't remember this place.


http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9055/pokemonruby08.png
Oh yeah. I totally forgot about this guy. Solrock is epic. I'm gonna use him for two important reasons.

1. He learns fire moves. I don't think any other psychic types I can get can use fire type moves.

2. Levitate. Ground type moves don't effect him. This is a good thing.

So I grinded him up.

My team at this point:

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/pkrs126.gif - Solaris - lv.30
-Fire Spin
-Confusion
-Harden
-Rock Throw

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/pkrs041.gif - Hudini - lv. 31

-Psybeam
-Recover
-Reflect

Welcome, our two new challengers!
Itz Spadezz: Nice idea, I actually really like Shroomish liek the elf
Xeyphr: Wow, you're going fast, aren't you!? ;3 Meditite can be found in the grass at Mt. Pyre. (b'_')b

Xephyr May 1st, 2010 2:46 PM

Ah, thanks. And yeah, I do these pretty speedy. I once did a mono run of every single type through FireRed, so I know what I'm doing.

Also, the rest of my team will end up being Medicham, Xatu, and Starmie. For obvious reasons.

King! May 1st, 2010 2:55 PM

No problem. ;3
And w00t. I <3 Starmie.

Hey! Don't know if I have enough time on my hands, but I'll give this a whiz.

Trainer: PicklePepperPiper
Type: Water
Game: Ruby

Basically a Swampert with Surf, Earthquake, and Icebeam can tackle almost anyone in-game. With Starmie and Pelipper, it'll be total hells yeah! Probably one of the easier types to take on the game, but hey, I ain't a great trainer just yet.

Will update when I get the chance

Though I may not begin for a while, as I have to finish some things up on my Sapphire game before I start a new file.

R/S/E Monotype Challenge May 1st, 2010 5:14 PM

Yay! Three new challengers! <3 hungryhamster, that's fine. :)
Wooowwww....biiig update, Xephyr! I'll add everyone now!

PicklePepperPiper May 1st, 2010 5:20 PM

Unfortunately, I can't post URL images until I've posted 15 times or more... so no pretty pics! :-(

1. Started with Mudkip, of course. Caught Wingull soon after.

2. Roxanne was easy, predictably.

3. Caught Zigzagoon to be my temporary HM Slave, and will catch Abra to be the Flash/Teleporter. Will dump both later for Tropius, as a HM Slave.

4. The fighting gym, with Wing Attack, also was a piece of cake.

5. Did a spot of fishing, added Magikarp and Tentacool to my party.

Current Party:

Mudkip
Lvl 14

Wingull
Lvl 18

Magikarp
Lvl 6

Tentacool
Lvl 7

Zigzagoon and Abra (slaves... mwahaha)

That's all I've had time for, get back soon,

R/S/E Monotype Challenge May 1st, 2010 5:29 PM

Yay! Welcome to the challenge, and nice start! I'll update the first post!

Also... I just decided that I'm going to try a monotype challenge on Emerald. But I need suggestions on the type I should do. Ideas, anyone? Thanks!

Xephyr May 1st, 2010 5:40 PM

Do Bug. Easily the most difficult. You'll have like Dustox, Beautifly, Illumise, Volbeat, and....that's all I can think of.

King! May 1st, 2010 5:44 PM

>.< I dun liek bugs. :3 I would if I could get Surskit but I only have Emerald...

LukerØath May 1st, 2010 6:02 PM

I REALLY want to do this. But I'm FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER playing a third gen game right now. After I beat it here in a few days I'll start. Unaware of what Pokemon type would be best, since I don't know these games, I'll be dangerous and go ahead and pick.... Hmmmm.... Normal!(:

PicklePepperPiper May 1st, 2010 7:04 PM

Oh my goish! You even have little sprites next to each player's tally!! That's so awesome!

You gotz Marshstopmz!


http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af1/Zirkle38/PokemonEmerald.png?t=1272769783

Beat Roxanne

No pressure

And I forgot to screenie, but I beat Brandon the second time.

http://pokemondb.net/images/sprites/diamond-pearl/normal/nincada.png
and caught a level seven Nincada. Named her Nancy

So, summary,
Party - Marshstomp and Nincada.
Badges - 1
Location - Route 104.

PicklePepperPiper May 1st, 2010 7:59 PM

Alrighty, quick update before I have to dash to work.

1. Arrived in Slateport, cleared out the Sea Museum with no problem.

2. Did the Trick Master's house, got a rare candy. Decided to sell all the stuff I didn't need.

3. Battling trainers, getting lots of exp.

4. Mudkip evolved into Marshtomp!

5. Rival battle was very easy. Mud Shot to take out Numel, Wingull's Wing Attack knocked out Grovyle in one hit, and Wailmer was down in a few hits.

6. Wally also met an unfortunate end at the might of Marshtomp's Mudshot.

7. Some more trainers, more exp.

8. Electricty gym was simple, just shot mud into all their faces.

9. Magikarp evolved into Gyarados!

10. Taught Shock Wave to Wingull.


Current Party:

Marshtomp
Lvl 24

Wingull
Lvl 23

Gyarados
Lvl 20

Tentacool
Lvl 16

Should have another update in a few hours!

myrrhman May 1st, 2010 9:16 PM

Ready set go!

Started as A on Sapphire
Did opening stuff blah blah
Got a Treeko and named it TRASH
Beat May
Caught a Zigzagoon and named it AlphaSlave
Wally caught a Ralts
Saved the Devon Guy
Got to Rustboro (skipping all the trainers between the woods and city) and caught my first actual member (sorta): Shell1 the Nincada!
TRASH evolved whilst grinding Shell1
Beat Roxanne
Saved the Devon Guy again
Went to the Dewford Cave thing
Caught my second member: Specter the Sableye after killing a Sableye with much better stats on accident.
What's that Brawly's gym? The only move that can hurt Specter is Makuhita's Knock Off? Aww, too bad. Got Knuckle Badge
Defeated everyone on the beach on the way to Slateport
Delivered Capt. Stern the goods, beat 2 Aquas, bought some Harbor Mail
Went back to Rustboro to get the Exp. Share for Nincada
Beat May and got itemfinder to end the day.

Team: Sableye (right now the only one that I'm using), Nincada (has Exp. share. 6 more levels until he hatches)

I need to get my Shedinja before Wattson, because then there's another gym that i'm immune to...
HM Slaves: Zigzagoon (just a temporary slave until I get the ones I need)
In PC: Grovyle

hack1 May 1st, 2010 11:50 PM

Can I continue my challenge from last thread?

Name: hack1
Type: Grass
Badges: 8

EDIT: I am the champion!

Sidney went down with Sky Uppercuts from Mushroom.

Phoebe was little harder, but Hula Hula 2HKOed everyone but Sableye with Surf.

Glacia was easy: Sky Uppercuts again from Mushroom to Glailies, and Petal Dances from Strawberry to rest.

Drake was my ultimate challenge. Shelgon went down from Mushroom's Headbutt. Flygon died to Hula Hula's Surf. Altaria took 10 revives. Salamence OHKOed everybody, but after 20 revives Gekko killed it. Kingdra died easily.

Wallace was quite easy. Walrein died after 2 hits from Strawberry's Petal Dance. Milotic was harder, but Mushroom killed it after couple revives. Rest were easy.

PicklePepperPiper May 2nd, 2010 5:28 AM

So, just another quick update before I call it a day.

1. Spent a fair bit of time training my pokemon. Decided to dump Tentacool, as it was getting annoying (I've never been a fan anyway, and with Starmie and Wailord, my party would be fine without).

2. Flannery was easy, as one might expect, being a fire gym and all. Completed all the kerpuffle with Team Magma.

3. Went and visited Daddyo, beat the trainers in the gym easily enough, but I had to go and train for a bit longer before I could beat Norman. Eventually I did.

4. Taught Surf to everyone.

And that's it so far, current party:

Marshtomp

Gyarados

Pelipper

TEAM

ahungryhamster May 2nd, 2010 4:59 PM

Well, it turns out I didn't need as long as I thought, and I just started my Poison-type run.

Here's what I've accomplished thus far:

-Started game.
-Picked up Surfboard (Mudkip) as my starter. I'll be using him as an HM slave later on.
-Got to May without encountering a single wild Pokemon!
-Fought May, Surfboard grew to lv6.
-Got Pokedex.
-Caught 2 Zigzagoon as "Pickup slaves."
-Went from Littleroot to Rustboro. Did the usual story-related activities, fought as few trainers as possible.
-Arrived in Rustboro with Surfboard at lv10.
-Fought Roxanne (and gym trainers), Surfboard grew to lv14 in the process.
-Did usual Rustboro quests (the Devon guy and the Aqua grunt). Surfboard grew to lv15.
-Headed to Dewford, went immediately to the cave and caught Dracula, a lv7 Zubat and my first real team member.
-Backtracked to fight the trainers I skipped.

Some notes:
-Zigzagoon's Pickup. I had never bothered with it before, but with only 2 Zigzagoons, at this point, I've already acquired a Full Restore, Rare Candy, 2 Nuggets, a Full Heal, and an Ultra Ball. I'm definitely keeping the Zigzagoons in my party, at least for the time being.
-Zubat is very difficult to train from the level it's at. The only attacks it knows are Leech Life (a 20-damage, non-STAB move) and Supersonic (with only 55% accuracy, it can't ever be counted on). I actually had to use Surfboard when faced with a lv8 Taillow because Dracula couldn't do much of anything against it. Hopefully this will be the last time I need to use Surfboard in battle. I'm going to grind Dracula on wild Pokemon until it learns at least one better move before I try fighting any more trainers.

Current team (I'll only list details of my actual team members):

Dracula/Zubat
---Level 9
--Moves:
-Leech Life
-Supersonic
-None
-None

Surfboard/Mudkip (Future HM Slave)

Zigzagoon "Pickup Slave" x2 (No nicknames)

Potential Future Team Additons: Gulpin, Tentacool, Seviper (Feel free to suggest more)

King! May 2nd, 2010 5:19 PM

I started a new monotype under the fighting category....
Name: King!
Type: Fighting
Game: Emerald
Since I'm doing it on a gameboy and have no ways to take pcis... I'm on an honor system. :P And my updates will most likely be rubbish. But right now I'm just training. My character is King, my Torchic(Blankey) is level 15, and Shroomish(Brella) is 10. I'm in the route that connects to Rusturf Tunnel.

My original plan was to play through on an Emulator but since i've started a new game on Emerald, I'm going to play on my Nintendo DS, it's better that way I think :P, will update my progress regularly,

King! May 3rd, 2010 2:38 AM

:3 W00T
I beat Roxanne yesterday. I expected to use Combusken(it evolved) but all I needed was Brella. And so now they're both level 16. And I have one badge. And I can go save elves from pirates. <3<3
Oh, and, yaaaaaay someone who's doing it on a handheld device!

(Next update will be around the 4th gym unless something major happens)

Xephyr May 3rd, 2010 12:03 PM

I would do it on gameboy, but I prefer VBA because of the super speed button that makes grinding go wicked fast. Kind of cheating, I know, but hey, I don't really care.

Gonna be posting a big update soon.

And then after only like twenty minutes of grinding, I'm happy with my team.

Here's one final look before the Elite Four:

UPDATE:

Well everyone I took a ton of screenshots and was gonna make this a cool post but there were just too many screenshots so I'll type it all out.

Sidney:
Medicham Hi Jump Kicked his way to a very easy victory here.

Phoebe:
Problems. The first Dusclops easily survived Alakazam's Shadow Balls and killed me with a few Shadow Punches. I had to struggle with the rest of my fast and hard hitting team. Starmie defeated the Sableye with a critical surf.

Glacia:
Medicham shines again. Fighting types are beast in this game. I won with 5 Hi Jump Kicks, plain and simple.

Drake:
I discovered that Solrock's Explosion is really freakin awesome. His Salamence scared me so I blew it up, and then my strong Psychics just defeated the rest of his team. No need for Ice moves.

Steven:
Skarmory fell in one hit to Alakazam's Shock Wave.
Aggron died in one hit from Starmie's surf.
Cradily and Armaldo both died to a Hi Jump Kick.
Claydol died to a couple surfs.
Metagross...screw this thing. Used at least 20 revives. He got like +4 attack from Meteor Mash which never missed. I had to stall him out until he used Hyper Beam so I could bring in Gardevoir to Hypnosis him and use Starmie's surf a few times for the win.

ahungryhamster May 3rd, 2010 5:53 PM

Made some more progress today.

-Finished backtracking and fighting trainers, Dracula grew to lv16. I also went through all the areas that required Cut and grabbed some items.
-Went back to Dewford, entered Granite Cave.
-Caught an Abra, nicknamed Lightbulb. Was going to use it as a Flash slave for the duration of the cave, but I forgot that I couldn't use Flash yet.
-By the time I left the cave, Dracula had grown another level.
-Got the Old Rod in Dewford and caught Jelly the Tentacool at lv5.
-Did some grinding in Granite cave, Jelly grew to lv8.
-Went to the gym, fought trainers. Jelly grew to lv10 and Dracula to lv18.
-Fought Brawly, the gym leader. It was fairly tough, but I've had worse against him.
--The Machop was tough to take down because of Seismic Toss, and the fact that Brawly used two Super Potions on it.
--I had to swap out to Jelly once so I could revive and heal Dracula. Needless to say, Jelly went down fairly quick.
--Makuhita couldn't land many damaging hits, I ended the battle with about half of Dracula's health left.
--I really had to rely on Supersonic and lucky flinches this battle since neither of my battling Pokemon can deal much damage. I think luck played a large part in me winning.
--Oh, and Dracula grew another level.

Thoughts after this section:
-The type I chose is proving to be difficult. Both of my Pokemon are rather weak at the moment and have moves that don't do much damage. Dracula learned Bite recently, but of course, being a dark-type move, it wasn't useful in Brawly's gym. I do enjoy a good challenge, however, so this is fun. And I'm using Pokemon that I'd rarely to never use under normal circumstances.
-Zigzagoon's Pickup is proving to be one of the most useful things ever. I'm getting all sorts of great items like PP Up and Rare Candies that are normally very hard to find.

That's all for now.

Current Team:

Dracula/Zubat
---Level 19
--Moves:
-Leech Life
-Supersonic
-Astonish
-Bite

Jelly/Tentacool
---Level 10
--Moves:
-Poison Sting
-Supersonic
-None
-None

Surfboard/Mudkip (Future HM Slave)

Zigzagoon "Pickup Slave" x2 (No nicknames)

myrrhman May 3rd, 2010 6:11 PM

ugh. Played, evolved my Nincada, challenged Wattson, lost, and restarted. I thought I had saved before the battle, but apparently I didn't. Oh well, I wasn't that far. Update coming on wednesday.

Actually, Beautifly, thank you very much. lol.

Can someone go post in that thread so when I make an update it doesn't merge with the first post? <_< lame

I might do that run and another mono run at the same time. I don't wanna do a mono bug though. How about...<_< I don't know.

It's sooo awkward, everytime I see R/S/E MOnotype Challenge posting/doing something I didn't do myself. >.<'
but I appreciate the help! Yesterday, I caught Makuhita and did some serious training so everyone was level 18 for Brawly. In the battle, I think I lost Makit quickly... :\ Well anyways, Blankey(Combusken)'s Pecks did well against Meditite and Machop, but the real star of this battle was Brella(Shroomish). I just sent her out to Leech Seed Makuhita, but she survived a Vital Throw pretty well. So she used Stun spore, and now it was paralyzed and seeded. So I used an X somefink, Special maybe? :3 And Giga Drained my way to victory. Only Blankey grew a level though... And then this morning I gave Steven his letter.

Anyways, I have a musical I'm in tonight... Schoolhouse Rock Live! I get to be the bill and sing the bill song. :3

This sounds like fun! I'll like to join! =)
Username: Cephix
Type: Bug
Version: Emerald
I'll be playing on a cartridge so I may not be able to take any screenshots. =P


King! May 6th, 2010 11:04 AM

xD Best. Answr. Ever.
And sorry Xephyr, missed your question. You must have an electric Pokemon before the third gym. ^_^

Phye May 6th, 2010 11:57 AM

And so it begins...
I start off with Mudkip to be used as a HM slave since none of the Bug Pokémon I will be using will be able to learn surf/waterfall/dive.

I rush through all the start objects(save birch, battle brandon and get running shoes) to be able to catch my two first real team members; a couple of Wurmples which will become Dustox and Beautifly hopefully. I train them one at the time until one either evolves to a cascoon or silcoon.

After leveling a dozens of wurmples I finally get a female silcoon and a male cascoon. The only good part about it was that the pokemon center is really close to route 101 for easy free heals between some battles.
I'm now ready to take on some trainers.

First off we face off Youngster Calvin with his Poochyena, Fate single-handled tackled down the small hyena. After the battle I used a potion on her to fill up her HP again.
Next off, Bug Catcher Rick would like to battle. With his two wurmples I show him that my cocoons are better.

Later in my path I face off Youngster Allen with his Zigzagoon and Taillow. His Zigzagoon growled a lot so I had to switch between Fate and Destiny after 3 growls if I wanted to do steady damage.
With three tackles from Fate due to Taillow growling once and one potion I managed to take it down. Peck really hurt.

I picked up the berries on the route and gave them to Fate and Destiny to hold onto in case they need them.

Afterwards, it was time for the last trainer on the route, Lass Tiana with her Zigzagoon and Shroomish. I used the same tactic as previous with her zigzagoon.
Her shroomish went down with poison stings to avoid effect spore to activate.

I've just healed up in Rustboro City's Pokémon center and currently located there.

.:Current Team:.
Fate the Gentle Silcoon:. LV08
Destiny the Quirky Cascoon:. LV07
Mudkip Lv6 (HM Slave)
