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!

No pressure

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

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.

Username: Gannon81
Character: Ryan

Type: Ground

can i start? rrrawrgh

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
Lvl 35

Gyarados
Lvl 35

Pelipper
Lvl 35

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.

Xephyr May 2nd, 2010 6:16 PM
