Monotype Challenge
 
I did a quick look, and this thread looks to be gone. Rather unfortunate. Well I wanna do a quick ghost run, so I'm bringing it back up. If anyone has any objections, PM me.

Rules:
1. The challenge is over once you beat the Red
2. You may only use Pokemon of one type.
3. Dual types are allowed, and count toward a Monotype Challenge of either type. For example: if you are doing a Water Monotype Challenge, it is okay to have a Gyarados, which is part Water and part flying. If you are doing a Flying Monotype Challenge, it is also okay to have a Gyarados, because he, once again, is part water and part flying. Also, you may use a Pokemon that later evolves into a Pokemon with your type. Once again, if you are doing a Flying type run, you may use Magikarp, because it evolves into Gyarados, which is part Flying. This does not work the other way around, though. If you are doing a Normal type Challenge, and have an Eevee, you may not evolve it into a Jolteon, claiming that one of the evolutions was Normal.
4. You must catch the first Pokemon of your type before you challenge Whitney
5. You may have up to 3 HM slaves on your team.
6. No legendaries.
7. You may use an emulator, and the speed button, but don't use the emulator to cheat.
8. Multiple people may do the same type.
9. If you cannot obtain a Pokemon of your type before the requirement, you may either trade an egg from another game, trade a level 5 Pokemon or below from another game, or (if you are using an emulator) shark in a low level Pokemon of your type at the very beginning of the game. Make it reasonable, though. If you are doing a Steel type challenge, don't put in a Skarmory or Steelix or anything like that. Put in like a Magnemite.
10. No trading, unless you are evolving a Pokemon.
11. Update regularly.
12. This isn't a race. Take your time and have fun.

Right then. As soon as you sign up saying you want to participate, you will automatically be accepted, and there's no need to wait until I update this post, so you can start immediately. I usually get on once during the morning and once at night at least, but I am taking summer classes, so if I don't update then there's nothing wrong, I was just really busy. If it gets to be more than like 3 days then PM me saying "I made progress and you didn't update, because it is likely that I didn't see. I will fix it as soon as I can.

And without further ado, I give you the challenger list by type:

Welcome back, Ober. No bugs?

Welcome Sacr3d Fire.

And welcome Haxeray. I'm pretty sure you can catch a Mareep south of Violet City. Pretty sure that's the only Electric type for a while (probably Chinchou or something).

woooooohooooooooooooo June 7th, 2010 12:48 PM

Harro :>
I am Woohooo and i would like to do ice type pokemon :D

Game: Silver
Type: Ice

Updates soon, i'm starting right now!
-Emulating in a Seel-

Decided to have it holding a water stone for future purposes but thats all :)

myrrhman June 7th, 2010 5:39 PM

yeah, i'm pretty sure there aren't any ice pokemon at the beginning of the game. the closest i know of is someone in the ice path or lapras on fridays when you have surf in the union cave basement. and welcome to the challenge. that too.

woooooohooooooooooooo June 7th, 2010 8:29 PM

-So I named my Character Woohooo

I went to Violet city and trained my Linox to level 13
and completely ownt Falkner and voila!

Fighting all those trainers to golden rod and from golden rod and the wild pokemon, Linox was level 25!

I was pumped ready to kill that clefable and milktank. I went in being pro and stuff and pewpew'd that clefable. then WAAAPAAAAAA Milktank squashed me. I nearly cried, had a tear in my left eye. I said " aw right aw right, time to train this gangsta Linox-seel thing. This was around 20 mins getting it to level 34!! can you believe it 34 :(
At this moment i had myself an awesome Dewgon! OH YEAH DEWGON

Walked through those routes like a freakin' pro and went to the ss. anne entrance thing to fish me up a nice little pokemawnz called Shellder! woot woot i named the little slugger Nerlian and trained him to level 33 and used that water stone to get my a cloyster baby!
Walked up to that lighthouse and played docter and swam to that one town to get the medicine. While i was there, i decided to show the gym leader who's boss. My Nerlian was a OG and beat him fair'n'square.

Went back to Olivine to show Jasmine who was the non-npc 'round here so i restored her amphrados and went to her gym, her magnemite's were a doozy but no challenge for Linox, then when she brought out that steelix, it was Nerlian's time to play, Aurora beam one hit that fool and Tada! Jasmine was all "uhmm..." Why you st-st-st-stutterin' girl?

I was sky high off my ownage so i raced to Mahogany town, just to catch me a nice hm slave called gyrados! and helpped Lance with all that rocket hullabaloo and went to face good ol' Pryce This fight was interesting considering we had the same type, it mainly consisted of non-stop "isn't very effective" but we got through and mannnnnn, got that bling :>

I WILL do another challenge, I will do it with Dark Type Pokemon! :], I'm guessing ill have to hack in another because the earliest one i can get is Eevee, and that's if he evolves into Umbreon but that's after i beat whitney because bill doesn't come down until i get to the 4th town? D:
If so i'll be putting in a Larvitar or houndour

Roaring Moon June 11th, 2010 2:38 PM

Sign me up for Poison, please.

myrrhman June 11th, 2010 9:40 PM

Okay, this is like the fifth time I've tried to start this. Here goes

Opening stuff blah blah name:A, starter:Totodile, rival: ???
In the Sprout tower, I caught two gastlys (Alpha and Omega)
Needed help from Totodile to beat the gym, as they have no moves that can kill Normal types yet. He was still easy with Rage.
Got to Azalea, and Beat the second gym and rival
Got to Goldenrod and the route above, where Alpha finally evolved into a Haunter (and a Gengar as he was very shortly traded). Woohoo, now I just need to buy Ice Punch or something so I can do damage to Normal types. Don't know what level Omega is, but he's going to need to be a Gengar before Morty.

ConnorV June 11th, 2010 10:09 PM

Okay I now have 14 badges... didn't write down what I did step by step but here are some highlights:

- Beat pokemon league with Magmar and Typhlosion
- Bred a ponyta only to decide not to use him :(
- Caught Houndour
- Caught Ho-Oh

Current Pokemon:

{Houndoom} Flare lvl 45 (EXP SHARE)
Faint Attack
Ember
Bite
Flamethrower

{Typhlosion} Torch lvl 56 (Charcoal)
Ember
Strength
Flame Wheel
Earthquake

{Magmar} Furnace lvl 56 (Amulet Coin)
Flamethrower
Thunder Punch
Physic
Fire Punch

{Vulpix} Coal lvl 14 (Dragon Fang)
Ember
Roar
Quick Attack
Tail Whip

{Ho-Oh!} Candle lvl 70 (Sacred Ash)
Recover
Fire Blast
Fly
Swift

{Lanturn} Lanturn lvl 12 (Nevermeltice)
Waterfall
Whirlpool
Surf
Flash

Just caught Ho-Oh!, so next step is to go back and finish off the pokemon gyms then beat red.

Sacr3d Fire June 12th, 2010 6:42 AM

ConnorV, i hope you know you can't use Ho-oh.It said in the rule:6.No legendaries.

ConnorV June 12th, 2010 8:29 AM

Yeah I just caught him for FLY, I'm sure I can use him as an HM slave? If not then I'll go catch a pidgey or something as its a real pain in the ass.

Oh and as another note, I want to do Rock next, so I was wondering if the pokemon that hatch from fossils are legendarys.

No, they are just normal Pokemon.
I'm going to do this on Flying, but I need to finish R/S/E Monotype first.

myrrhman June 12th, 2010 9:13 AM

You can use Ho-oh for a HM Slave. Also, Hack is right, the legendaries are
Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Mewtwo, Mew, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-oh, Celebi, Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Groudon, Kyogre, Deoxys, Jirachi, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Regigigas, Cresselia, Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf, Shaymin, Darkrai, Arceus, Manaphy, Phione (i think).

And now for an update!

Now that I had a Gengar, I bought Ice, Thunder, and Fire Punch from the Dept. Store in Goldenrod. Whitney was easy as balls. Both of her Pokemon took two Thunderpunches.
I then started trying to get my second Gengar. This proved much harder than the first, as once again, I was limited to Lick as my only damaging move, and these Pokemon were stronger. I decided to enter the Ecruteak Gym after dispatching Sudowoodo. This way, I could switch out and kill them with Alpha.
Finally evolved in the Burned tower against ???
Went back and Defeated Morty. Got Shadow Ball. Now we're talking.

Important Team:
Alpha the level 31 Gengar
Thunder Punch, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Lick

Omega the level 27 Gengar
Shadow Ball, Rock Smash, Hypnosis, Curse

Not important team:
Totodile (Cut, Surf), Hoot-Hoot (Flash)

ConnorV June 12th, 2010 10:42 AM

Final Update

I beat Blaine, then went and crushed Blue. Finally Mt. Silver was open! Then I went and caught 2 slugma's and bred them, and got my baby slugma. After doing that, I decided I wanted Ninetales so I wasted a bunch of time and effort obtaining a fire stone from the guy who lives in Bill's Kanto house.

Then i spent about 3 hours training my pokemon and came up with this team:

{Typhlosion} Torch Lvl 66 /w Charcoal
Flamethrower
Strength
Flame Wheel
Earthquake

{Magcargo} Magma lvl 48 /w Charcoal
Smog
Ember
Roch Throw
Flamethrower

{Magmar} Furnace lvl 67 /w Magnet
Flamethrower
Thunderpunch
Psychic
Fire Punch

{Houndoom} Flare lvl 60 /w Charcoal
Faint Attack
Sludge Bomb
Crunch
Flamethrower

{Ninetales} Coal lvl 31 /w --
Ember
Confuse Ray
Quick Attack
Flamethrower

{Lanturn} Lanturn lvl 12 /w Nevermeltice
Flash
Surf
Waterfall
Whirlpool

Battle Recap /w Red

Torch wipes out Pikachu with one earthquake
Flare wipes out Espeon with one crunch (critical hit)
Furnace fights Blastoise and faints. Coal is sacraficed to revive him and he finishes Blastoise off.
Torch, Flare and Magma all go down fighting Snorlax. Finally after wasting all of his PP and many hyper and full restores, Furnace is able to take him out.
Furnace takes out Charizard with 3 thunderpunches (I also use max elixer)
Furnace takes out Venasaur with 2 flamethrowers.

^^ Link to picture of me beating red. I can't post images yet so that's the best I can do.


----

Now I'm either going to do Psychic on Gold or Poison on Silver.

**EDIT**

I've decided to try Poison, but I don't know how to evolve haunter since im using the KiGB emulator, so I was wondering if I could simply either a) gameshark a lvl 25 gengar when haunter hits lvl 25 or b) simply change haunter into a genger with gameshark. Or I guess I could leave him as a haunter.

And I'll be updating this one a lot better then I did for my fire type challenge.

myrrhman June 12th, 2010 12:06 PM

Congratulations on joining the Champions! Also, if I were you, I would download DualGBA or something like that. It's the only way I know of trading.

ConnorV June 12th, 2010 12:15 PM

I have a mac though, so I can only use KiGB for these games, and what am I allowed to do about the Gengar problem?

myrrhman June 13th, 2010 6:31 AM

Ah, that is a problem. Yeah, get a Haunter to level 25 and then hack in a Gengar. You can teach it the same moves with hacking too.

TGBDual :) Good emulator to make trades in 1st and 2nd gen games ;)
But now to action, first update:

Spoiler:

Grass Pokemons now...but lack of stones is really dissapointing. It would be fine to buy stones in Johto, f.e after battle with some strong trainer, or in some hidden place for high price. I can get it in other ways ofc, but...it's annoying. But I haven't any other idea, so go!

Chikorita (Chuck) as a starter. Trained it to lvl 12 near N.B.Town. As it's grass team, I've Bellsprout...again. It's really boring X_x. I named him Yawn, great grinding plan has started. I've left Sprout Tower for next Pkmns, and headed to Azalea. Chuck and Yawn had 19th levels, when I reached Azalea. But now...it's day x_X I must wait for the night and catch three Oddishes. Why three? Waiting for the night...

...Okay, sun is down, we're going to Ilex. Why I need three Oddishes, as for most people it's just useless to have one of them? First (Solaris) will be turned into Bellosom, after receiving the Sun Stone. Second (Villeix) will be turned into Vileplume, when I reach Kanto and get Leaf Stone. Bill's grandpa will give me Leaf Stone only, if I show them...Oddish. So third (Stonelol) is just for that - 'cause I need Leaf Stone. Stonelol was sent to PC, Solaris and Villeix started grind-party in Union Cave. Both evolved into Gloom at 21st level, so I went to Sprout Tower (Yawn advanced to 21st lvl, evolved into Weepinbell). Chuck grinded to 21st too, after battle with Dede (my rival) 22nd. In Azalea's Gym Solaris&Villeix knocked all "small trainers", Chuck defeated Bugsy (23rd now), and that's how the story goes.

I must win Bug Catching Contest now to get first Sun Stone. Second will be for Sunkern->Sunflora, but I'll catch it only, if I'll have 2nd Sun Stone.

EDIT:
Update number two ;)

Spoiler:

So, I've Sun Stone :D Before Saturday, I've beaten Whitney, Morty, rival, and some minor trainers. At Saturday midnight (:D) I've joined Bug Contest. And what is important now - Pinsir. If you have Pinsir, you just can't lose. Before it I've had Scyther, but memories from other games was priceless. I've found Pinsir, won the contest, and got a Sun Stone. I'd like to evolve Solaris now, but Gloom still has Moonlight&Petal Dance to learn, so...I'll surely wait until Moonlight, but not longer, because I wanna have Bellossom in my team, now ;D
http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5504/sunstone.png
I've also had a funny story at grinding. Raikou visited me...so early ;) But I've used Sleep Powder, then some Growths, then attack. I do not need Raikou in this game. A lot of experience is more important now.
http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6236/raikouf.png
And also, battles...Whitney wasn't problem, Dede too. Morty was tough for me, I must point that. Anyway he couldn't defeat me, so four badges are in ;)

myrrhman June 14th, 2010 6:32 AM

Finished up the Johto Gyms. Nothing too hard, because I don't remember any of them from yesterday. On to the elite four.

Spoiler:
Will:

OHKO everyone but Slowbro w/ Omega's Shadow Ball. Slowbro took two and almost one hit me with psychic.

Koga: One hit Aridos, Venomoth, and Foretress w/ Fire Punch. Muk took 3 Fire Punches. Crobat was annoying because I kept missing with TPunch, so he took about 4 and almost killed me.

Bruno:

All of his pokemon but onix took multiple shots but couldn't kill Alpha.

Karen:

Froze Umbreon on the first Ice Punch and then killdt it. Murkrow and Vileplume went down with a single ice punch. Gengar and I licked like two children in a lollipop store in the middle of the summer. And Houndoom, who I was fearing, was being a dumba** and used Roar 5 times in a row. Moving on.

Final Battle Lance:

Easiest (other than Will). Gyarados OHKO w/ T Punch. Dragonites all OHKO w/ Ice Punch. Aerodactyl too. Charizard took like 2 shadow balls or something, don't know, don't care.


Figured that the hard part was done, so I might as well finish up.

Rescued the little girl and arrived in Vermilion.
Went to Saffron and got Psychic.
Went to Celadon, beat Erika, and got Giga Drain (which completed my final moveset).
Went to the Power Plant, to Cerulean, to Nugget Bridge, to Cerulean, and back to Power Plant to solve their crisis.
Beat Misty with either Thunderpunch or Giga Drain.
Beat Lt. Surge with lots of Fire Punches (hardest battle so far).
Sabrina was Shadow Ball bait.
Realized I didn't have the Radio Card or Bike, so I helped the Copycat in order to get back easily via train.
Got the Expansion Card and took out Snorlax.
Beat Brock with 5 Quad Super Effective Miracle Seed Powered Giga Drains
Blaine took 2 hits for all of his Pokemon, and even though he hit me with Flamethrower and Sunny Day powered Fire Blast, I still didn't lose a Pokemon.
Blue would have forced me to heal, but Arcanine, like Houndoom, used Roar almost exclusively.
Onward to Red!

Ok. Vs. Red

Pikachu was easy enough, lowered my attack while I killed it.
Snorlax... rest, rest, rest, rest, rest, rest, rest... Had to just switch back and forth until he ran out of them. I am now dangerously low on attacks for only having killed his second Pokemon.
Espeon outsped the Gengar with Shadow Ball, but not the other one. I proceeded to Fire Punch, faint, send out slave and revive, repeat, until I killed it.
Venusaur: I didn't know what to expect, so I healed the dead Gengar. It charged up a Solar Beam. I healed, and Solar Beam crit'd and almost one hit me. I healed it off again while Venusaur charged. Fire Punch, Solar beam, heal while Venusaur used Sunny Day, and then Fire Punch killed it.
Charizard: I hit him with a TPunch, but he killed Alpha. Omega put him to sleep, revived Alpha, and managed to kill him with Shadow Ball.
Blastoise: Alpha hit him with TPunch that Paralyzed, but he killed me with Surf. I then revive switched back and forth at least 10 times before he was fully paralyzed. Then one more sacrificial TPunch, and finish it off with Shadow Ball. GG Red.

jujuju June 14th, 2010 12:19 PM

Alright, so I will begin this challenge now using the electric type on Pokemon Crystal.

Btw, if I am not able in any way to obtain a thunderstone for my eevee, can I still use it against the Elite 4 despite it not being an electric type. I can wait to train it after the Elite 4 and get the stone from that guy in Cerulean, however, this would be much easier.

Update #1:
Spoiler:
Since there are no electric Pokemon early in Pokemon Crystal I decided to take Cyndaquil until I was able to receive my first Pokemon from the Odd Egg. I chose Cyndaquil to try and get there as soon as possible while avoiding as many trainer battles as I could along the way.
http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2660/falkner.pnghttp://img815.imageshack.us/img815/5149/bugdy.png
The first two gym battles went down easily as Cyndaquil was too powerful for each of them. Fortunately, the first Pokemon I received from the egg was an Elekid(didn't take screenshot, but hopefully this will suffice).
http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/7633/elekid.png
I proceeded to train Elekid until level 30 where he evolved into Electabuzz and then trained Electabuzz until level 33. As you can see, I am very worried about Whitney’s rollout. I taught both Fire Punch and Ice Punch to Electabuzz. Electabuzz one-hit everything on the gym until up came the Miltank.
http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/9065/miltank.png
There will always be a reason to hate this thing.

Anyway, it was holding on for dear life and I knew I had her. One quick swift was all it took and the battle went by much faster than I had first expected. Next time, I plan on searching for a Chinchou and pick up an Eevee that I plan on evolving into a Jolteon.

Current Team:
http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/9108/electabuzz.png

myrrhman June 14th, 2010 2:12 PM

Yeah, you can go ahead and train your Eevee. I just don't want people doing a Flying Monotype Challenge beating Red with like a Magikarp because a) that makes no sense and you cheated, and b) their team wasn't eventually all flying types.

ConnorV June 14th, 2010 2:30 PM

jujuju June 19th, 2010 8:52 AM

I'm sorry. I thought that I could get this done before going away for the summer, but I was only able to get to the Mahogany Gym, so I will be forced to drop out of this one at least for the next two months.

AnjinMiura_PL June 20th, 2010 12:55 AM

Third update ;)

Spoiler:

Sorry, I don't have so much time. First was grinding and going with story, 2nd was defeating the E4 ;)
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2716/teamgrass2.png
That was my team before E4. Grinded to 53th, then 2 Rare Candies to Solaris = Solarbeam. Time to defeat Elite Four. IIRC Charizard was the biggest problem, but somehow I managed to beat elite trainers. Now I'm in Kanto, next update before battle with Red ;)
http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3402/39715373.png

ConnorV June 20th, 2010 8:15 AM

Final Update

Caught Lugia as a HM slave. Also converted weepinbel to an HM slave. After that I kind of just tore through everything until I got to red... he spanked me first try so I grinded, then revive *****d and beat him.

Pikachu - fell to an Earthquake
Espeon - tanked Todd, Carson and Desmond. Nathan managed to kill him with a surf as he survived the physic.
Snorlax - used Weepinbell to revive Desmond. Then revived and healed everybody as he couldn't touch me. He basically just used rest over and over, so what I did was when he woke up, I switched Carson in on that turn because he would go back to sleep. Then I killed him with a critical hit double kick.
Blastoise - Desmond tried to kill him but died, Nathan finished him off.
Venesaur - Todd OHKO him with a Wing Attack
Charizard - Fell to Nathan.

And thats it! Second GSC Mono challenge complete.

So right im raising my team and making my way to the elite 4.

ChrisTom June 24th, 2010 11:33 AM

Alright, I'd like to sign up for the Rock Type. But could I please cheat in a Larvitar as a starter? Please let me know!

myrrhman June 24th, 2010 12:03 PM

Yup, Chris, you're good to go. I'll add you to the list.

ChrisTom June 24th, 2010 4:47 PM

Yay! Alright, so far I've caught a Larvitar(15), a Geodude(15), and an Onix(16). I've just finished defeating Bugsy, and guess what? For the FIRST TIME EVER I CAUGHT A SHINY!! It's not one I can use, but still. It was a Level 3 Bellsprout. So yeah, I'm progressing.

myrrhman June 25th, 2010 8:08 PM

Whoa, sorry there Chris, didn't see your update.

ChrisTom June 25th, 2010 8:26 PM

Thank you myrrham.

Just wanted to let you guys know now that I have defeated Clair, gotten my 8th badge and am now on my way to the Pokemon league.

Here is my current team:

Larvitar LVL 38
http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:AuKEmMuUZGQoiM:http://faqsmedia.ign.com/faqs/image/ani246.gif
Rock Slide

Bite

Sandstorm

Screech

Graveler LVL 38
http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:UCH93dhGJgxStM:http://guidesarchive.ign.com/guides/12045/images/graveler.gif
Magnitude

Rock Smash

Fire Punch

Rock Throw

Sudowoodo LVL 39
http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:QvplegAf1_3xYM:http://www.elalmanaque.com/Aikos/recursos/sudowoodo.gif
Ice Punch

Rock Slide

Flail

Low Kick

Corsola LVL 39 (What a lifesaver he is)
http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:rH1HJmBj8Qp7MM:http://www.rpgamer.com/games/pokemon/poke2/art/222.gif
Surf

Tackle

Recover

Whirlpool

Onix LVL 38
http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:u6kkpi9r0VBgNM:http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/9846/images/onix.gif
Rock Throw

Screech

Strength

Iron Tail

Then I usually have a low level HM Slave. I like using Low levels, as I won't rely on them to counter the rock as I would a higher level non rock type. I must say that I am dissapointed that I can't get any fossil Pokemon though... But I will be sure to catch a Chansey for that one girl's Aerodactyl ASAP. I just hope I can get through the league with my current team. I think I might be able to do Will fairly easy. Koga might be a little tough. God help me with Bruno. Karen should be fairly easy if I use Larvitar and Sudowoodo while spamming Bite, Low Kick, and eventually Flail. And then Lance... well he'll depend. I'm sure Sudowoodo could easily defeat him if he is at a high enough level. Anyways, this is a very fun Challenge! I think I'm doing very well and can't wait to finish!


With all regards,

-ChrisTom


Oh one more thing...


POST 700!!

AnjinMiura_PL June 27th, 2010 8:34 AM

Finally, I can tell that I'm finished with this ;)
Last, 4th update! ;)

Spoiler:

Kanto's story is all about great grinding ;) First of all I went to Cerulean and got first Leaf Stone (Yawn->Victribell). Red had some type advantages - Charizard and Espeon. Geez, grind muss sein. I've battled E4 about ten or even more times to get some experience. What is most important, that Gina Picknicker has called to me and given 2nd Leaf Stone ;D I had Vileplume and Victribell then. I've also defeated most of Kanto trainers and solved most important problems. Low 70s levels were the target. Whole team achieved it (Solaris even 71st ;)), and after a lot of boring Kanto stories and battles, time to finish the challenge ;)

Pikachu vs Solaris
One Solarbeam and the most powerful mouse in the game were out. ;)

Venusaur vs Villeix
Sleep Powder, then Acid-time, once again, and Venusaur was finished. But he used some Solarbeams as well. And it's not very effective :D

Espeon vs Chuck
Body Slam against Psychic. Huh, Chuck was nearly faint, I've had to use Hyper Potion. Idea was okay, Espeon were down ;D

Charizard vs Chuck
Owww, Flamethrower time...most painful moment, Chuck used Body Slam once, but fainted as well ;( Anyway...

Charizard vs Villeix
Again, Villeix most sensable tactic - Sleep Powder then Acid!!!!!!!!!!1111 Most dangerous Pokemon out, now to the glory ;D

Snorlax vs Yawn
Yeah, it was expected. Only to heal Chuck and Solaris, victory is soo close...

Snorlax vs Chuck
Earthquakes and Body Slams, tough hits, Snorlax took a good part, but he couldn't stand. And now to the great finish!

Blastoise vs Solaris
Blizzard made me confused. Wooh, not fainted, and now, catch mah Solarbeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!...

And that is how Ober finished G/S/C Monotype Challenge ;)

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/4229/grassfinal.png

Why six Pokemons? I've taken my HM Slaves with me - HMBoy (Krabby) and Fly! (Noctowl). But I haven't used them, so I guess everything is ok ;) I'll give my team screens later, if I don't forget ;D


Okay, thanks for starting the challenge, myrrhman, and good luck for another challengers. I'm done! :D

adamskillz June 27th, 2010 2:26 PM

Can i join with normal types?

EDIT: i already started haha

UPDATE 1:
Named myself GOLD (creativity is amazing isn't it?)
Rival: BOB
defeated BOB
went and captured a Pidgey ( Timothy )
captured a Sentret ( James )
Went through sprout tower and got my first gym badge!

Pidgey/Timothy - Lvl 13
Sentret/James - Lvl 9

Sentret is a bit tougher to train against Bellsprouts haha.

Well, i continued through to Azalea town and saved some Slowpoke. Ya know what happened there? James evolved into Furret!
Then i continued and beat Bugsy with a few exp left until Timothy evolved.

Current Poke's
Pidgey/Timothy - 17
Furret/James - 17

ChrisTom June 27th, 2010 7:32 PM

I HAVE COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE!!

I beat the Elite 4 easily with a large amount of grinding. Afterwards I went on my tour of Kanto and defeated all Gym Leaders easily, with the exception of Blue, who I had a difficult time with. Afterwards I headed up to Mt.Silver and did some hardcore grinding until all my Pokemon were at level 55. I headed into the dark unknown of the cave, and found Red. After a long and thorough battle, I knew that I had just completed the Official G/S/C Monotype Challenge: Rock Type Edition. Brock would be proud:

And if you still don't believe I beat Red:

POOF! HE'S GONE!!

Sorry, but I don't have the time to post all the stat pages. But I'm sure that is proof enough. I really enjoyed doing this. For those who don't know, this is the first challenge I have ever completed. Thank you for creating this thread Myrrham. I really appreciate all you have done for the Pokecommunity Forums. I can't wait to put that fancy bar in my signature! Thank you again.

With all regards,

myrrhman June 27th, 2010 11:13 PM

Congrats Ober and ChrisTom on becoming the newest Champions.
And welcome adamskillz on becoming the newest challenger. I hope you follow in Ober and Chris's footsteps and become a champion.

ConnorV June 28th, 2010 6:22 AM

Im going to do another one, just using normal and flying types, so a dual monotype challenge. I've got 6 possible pokemon so I should be fine.

First Update

Picked Totodile as my starter... this challenge will be hard enough so I might as well pick something easy. Also made it 3 am so that I can catch HootHoot, then Pidgey and Spearow right when it hits four. Anyways did all that and caught them, then grinded them to all learn their flying type move. Destroyed sprout tower, got them all to like lvl 14 then beat Falkner.

Then I got Togepi from the aide, and went down to the cave. Really had a tough time with the hikers, and the one outside the cave on the town side fainted my party. Went back and killed him the next time without losing pokemon, problem was The Master was out of Metronome. Then easily beat the rocket based, and just grinded them a bit. Beat bugsy very easily (flying vs bug), then went to fight my rival. Tore through him easily too thanks to foresight. Caught a paras HM slave too, also plan on getting a lanturn (all water + flash).

Then went to goldenrod, grinded my pokemon a lot, and just training them more before Whitney.

Current team:

PresentPresence June 30th, 2010 2:05 PM

Hey, PP here, trying out a Psychic challenge on my Silver cart. Yes, mother, I know how to use the PHONE. And, gee, it is convenient. :NOSTALGIA: Named trainer Domino. Wednesday, 2:48. Let's go brolords.

This challenge is sponsored by Franz Ferdinand.

:CHALLENGE START:
"Chapter 1: Beginning to Slowpoke"
:NEWBARK TOWN: Grabbed Cyndaquil, no nickname for you. I mean, geez, all you have to do is beat up like a level 9 Pidgeotto and a level 14 Koffing. That doesn't earn you a name. And gimme that berry.
:ROUTE 29: Actually managed to get to Cherrygrove without a single encounter. Huh.
:CHERRYGROVE CITY: Map Card get!
:ROUTE 30: Somehow managed to only encounter 2 level 2 Pidgey, avoiding a level up. If I can't beat my rival, I guess I'll go back and fight one more for a small advantage.
:CHERRYGROVE CITY: Bought a couple potions for rival battle and a few antidotes for later. Rival tiem!
:RIVAL ENCOUNTER: Let's get it over with.
  1. I Leer, he Scratches for 5 damage. (14/19)
  2. I Leer again, he Scratches for another 5 damage. (9/19)
  3. I Tackle for crap damage, he Scratches again. (4/19)
  4. Potion, Scratch. (14/19)
  5. Leer, Scratch. (9/19)
  6. Tackle him past halfway, Scratch. (4/19)
  7. Potion just in case, Scratch. (14/19)
  8. Tackle him dead. Wasted a potion.
CYNDAQUIL levels to 6.9999, literally 1 exp away from 7, learns Smokescreen (Whoop-dee-freakin-doo).
:ROUTE 29: No encounters again! Score!
:NEWBARK TOWN: Rival named Rivale because it looks cool. Would of liked to name him Poopy McGee, but, you know, character limit. Let mother be a piggy bank so I can get that Snorlax doll someday. :cer_boogie:
:ROUTE 29: I refuse to not describe every route and city I pass by outside of grinding excursions. And screw you bad haircut kid, I can catch Pokémon just fine. Pidgey on first tile of grass, level to 7, no other encounters.
:CHERRYGROVE CITY:Yep.
:ROUTE 30: Ignore first trainer, second trainer levels CYNDAQUIL to 8, manage to evade third guy.
:ROUTE 31: No battle for you. I'll save Dark Cave for later.
:VIOLET CITY: "The City of Nostalgic Scents" Really? I never read that sign before. Freaky. :NOSTALGIA: Skip Sprout Tower, on to try me out a Spearow. First try, throw out a few Smokescreens, critically Pecked to death. Second try, throw out a couple Leers instead, 3 Tackles and 2 Potions later, level 9. Next trainer somehow managed to critical 3 times, requiring 2 potions and bringing me to level 10. This Cyndaquil is breaking my bank. Grind to level 12 for Ember, time for Falkner.
:GYM LEADER-FALKNER: Let me just say this: Falkner is math. I mean, his gym floor is in the shape of a dollar sign and he wears hammer pants. Pure math. First try, Pidgey goes down with a couple Embers but gets a Mud-kip on me. His hacked Pidgeotto (Level 9? What the hell?) ends up beating me from 1/3 health because of 3 gimped Embers in a row. Freaking Mud-kip. Second try I critically Ember Pidgey to death. Take that, Mud-kip! Pidghetto owned, level 13. Does Zephyr Badge really raise attack? And in what way? Anyway, I grab the egg because I might need the Everstone in case Eevee decides to evolve before level 30.
:ROUTE 32: First trainer is unavoidable, but he doesn't level CYNDAUIL.
:UNION CAVE: Ugh, rock types. Managed to grab that Potion and evaded that first climber. Second climber unavoidable, but his Dudes go down eventually, and level CYNDAQUIL to 14, evolution. Yaaay.../sarcasm. Avoided first firebreather. Skip the path to Swift for now. Second firebreather unavoidable.
:ROUTE 33: Yep v.2.0.
:AZALEA TOWN: Mistuh Kurt...he dead. THE HORROR!
:RAINMAKER WELL: It sounds cooler than SLOWPOKE WELL. Taking on all these Rockets since they disappear, they're unavoidable anyway. QUILAVA owns all dese grunts. "Just...too..strong." :cer_nod: Leveled to 17, not that it matters, because he's an HM slave now.
:AZALEA TOWN: "I'd be honored to make BALLS for you!" : SUPPRESSED MEMORIES: Well now I can go back and get my first Psychic type.
:SLOWPOKE WELL: I can call it this now that there are actually Slowpokes in here. Caught my level 8, named him Combo.
"End of Chapter 1"
I'll get back to you guys once I've ground Combo up enough to face Rivale.

Sorry guys but im gonna resign.

I decided to restart my HeartGold so i'll complete this challenge on HG and post on that thread.

PresentPresence June 30th, 2010 8:34 PM

Alright, after a grinding excursion mostly involving revisiting those avoided trainers and Sprout Tower, Combo reached level 18. I decided not to grind the extra 2 levels for Confusion and try out Rivale right away.

"Chapter 2: The Way to Drowzee"
:RIVALE ENCOUNTER: I love the irony of this guy calling me a weakling after I trounce him.
Used an Awakening after Gastly Hypnotized me, but other than that Ghastly went down easily enough. Zubat gave me some trouble with Supersonic, and Leech Life and Bite were both super-effective. Luckily, Combo is quite a tank, requiring only 1 Potion against Zubat. Haxorz Croconaw (Did he give it steroids to evolve early or something? WHAT ARE THESE TRAINER'S SECRETS?) gave me a bit of trouble, but after 3 Curses, Combo was set to take the win.
:ILEX FOREST: An HM for my slave.
:AZALEA GYM: Combined efforts of the forest and trainers here brings me to level 20. I am worried about super-effective Fury Cutter, but I think I can take him/her.
:GYM LEADER-BUGSY: Let's go you heshe.
Start out with my 3 Curses in preparation for Scyther. First Fury Cutter does 4 damage. :bandit: But after 4 I'm dead. :disappoin I'm kind of banking on maybe Confusion confusing him, causing him to hurt himself, disrupting Fury Cutter's flow. Or, maybe I'll just get lucky. ROUND 2! 4 Curses, still no dice. ROUND 3! Heh, shoulda figured after 5 Curses Tackle would do a better job than Confusion. Hive Badge get!

I'll finish this chapter later. I'm tired.

Update #2 (Flying/Normal dual monotype challenge)

Okay so I basically haven't played all that much, and I didn't write down what I did, so I'm doing this off memory.

I last left off right before Whitney (post). But I really didn't feel like playing it that much, especially since I just got VBA-M to work for my mac, thus letting me play pokemon FireRed and Emerald, two games i've never played on gameboy before.

So everyday I played for a bit, but all I did was happiness trained, by that I cut The Master's hair, and I ran back and forth, and back and forth, also bought return on the appropriate day. Finally I tried to evolve The Master, and I failed so I trained him so more, and then second time he evolved. I taught him return, and with that as well as with The Owl's hypnosis/swift combo, I took Whitney down.

So that aside, I have probably my hardest challenge in the Ghost Gym, (well really probably surge, but I don't want to think about that). So I teach The Hawk mud-slap, and the master Rollout, I also get the nightmare tm50 challenge down. Finally after I train as much as I think I need, I beat Morty, surprising very easily as his hypnosis/dream eater fails to put me to sleep, and his curses don't last enough to kill me.

Then I go to olivine and catch my HM slave chincou. And go to fight Chuck., when I get there I realize none of my guys learn strength, so I evolve totodile into croconaw, and he replaces paras as a cut/strength slave. After training on the Tentacool family, my birds crush Chuck. Then after giving jasmine her meds [oops I mean Amphy's ;) ] I beat her. To do this I mudslap the magnemites, and kill steelix with a hypnosis, nightmare and relflect combo. Then I clear out Team Rocket, and beat Pryce mostly with Return from the master.

Right now I'm in the Radio Tower, and have yet to meet the fake director.

ConnorV July 25th, 2010 8:06 AM

@Liruthewerewolf, I suggest you restart and get a Gastly, other than a crobat hes your best poison pokemon.

myrrhman July 25th, 2010 8:37 AM

Yeah, Gastly is pretty good, but that's no reason to restart, just backtrack a bit.

Sykan July 31st, 2010 9:02 AM

Gastly is pretty easy to find at night, same place where you find Bellsprout o-o

In other news, updating again today! Updating on weekends is much more comfortable/efficient << I'll pick up the game after lunch and go as far as I can again! Hooray for long updates xD


EDIT:

RRRRRRGHK can't post images yet need 15 posts =_= Lost an update and I'm not in the mood to write it up again. I'll post it once I get 15 posts.

myrrhman August 5th, 2010 7:45 AM

Hey everyone!

This thread is being closed to test out a new way of doing things. There will be a new thread for it, however. Don't get discouraged from updating there, and don't think you have to start all over, I will literally just transfer your progress over to the new thread!
