Ultimate Monotype Challenge Thread
 
Want to become a Pokémon Master, finish your Pokédex, and beat the game? What, you say you've been there, done that?! Well, what else is left for you to do?

How about this: Instead of playing with the same team over and over, how about you try to pump up the difficultly a notch. Try a Monotype Challenge! :D

Basically, you go through at least one of the games using a team completely consisting of one type. It can be quite the challenge, especially when facing a leader or elite who is resistant to your entire team! But that's what makes it more fun, right? ^_^

Single Game Monotype Rules
  • No hacking or cheating. This includes using the Missingno glitch in RBY.
  • You may not use Legendary Pokémon, even if they are of your type.
  • No trading Pokémon from other games, unless you are doing so for an evolution that requires it.
  • When starting your journey in each game, you will have to play the game using just your starter Pokémon. Then, once you gain access to the first available Pokémon of your type, continue from then on with only that type. You can use your starter to help with training these Pokémon, but cease using it in gym battles at this point. In the Kanto games, you also must catch the first Pokémon of your type before cutting the bush east of Cerulean City.
  • You can use HM slaves of different types; just don't use them in battles. The exception to this rule is with Psychic teams in the Hoenn games. Due to the fact that the Abra and Ralts families literally have no means of combating Poochyena and their fellow Dark-Types at the start of the game, the HM slaves can be used to help them out. ^^
  • You may only use Pokémon that share a type. Dual Types are allowed, however. So, if you're doing a Flying monotype challenge, you may use the Water/Flying type Gyarados. If you are doing a Water monotype challenge, you may also use the Water/Flying type Gyarados. You can use Pokemon not of your type if and only if they will evolve into a Pokemon of your type at some point, though you should evolve them at the first chance you get. Also, if you are doing a Normal monotype challenge, you may not use an Eevee and evolve it into a Jolteon, because it is no longer the correct type.
  • You may use an emulator; just don't cheat on it.
  • Due to their rarity in earlier generations, three types are discouraged from being used: Ghost, Dragon, Ice. If you still want to use one of these types, you can ignore the third rule and trade one of said-type into your game at the earliest point that you can do so.
  • Due to their non-existance in the first generation, Dark- and Steel-Types are also discouraged from being used, and banned outright from RBY for obvious reasons. If you still want to use Dark-types types in GSC, FrLg, or HgSs, you can also ignore the third rule and trade one of said-type into your generation at the earliest point that you can do so.
  • If you cannot trade for whatever reason, and you're using one of the types mentioned in the last two points, hacking a single low-level Pokémon of your type into your game will be allowed. You would also be permitted to evolve Pokémon in this manner, if they require trading to do so. These are the only instances where hacking will be tolerated.
  • The challenge for each game is completed once the Elite Four is beaten for the first time(except in the second generation where it ends when you defeat Red, and in the fifth generation where it ends when you defeat the Elite Four for the second time). At said point, you can then begin with the following game.
  • It is never too late to sign up, you may always use the same type as someone else, and remember, HAVE FUN!!!

And for those of you feeling even more adventurous, how about trying for the Ultimate Monotype Challenge instead? So, instead of having a monotype challenge through one Pokémon game, this is meant to take place in all five regions, going through each generation of the franchise.

Requirements
  • A copy of Red, Blue, or Yellow. FireRed and LeafGreen will be accepted here, but for the ultimate experience, I suggest you go with the originals.
  • A copy of Gold, Silver, or Crystal. HeartGold and SoulSilver will be accepted here, but for the ultimate experience, I suggest you go with the originals.
  • A copy of Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald.
  • A copy of Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.
  • A copy of Black or White.
  • The will to play, and the desire to have fun. =D
  • Emulators will be allowed for any of the above, excluding the previous. ^_^

Ultimate Monotype Challenge Rules
  • All rules from the Single Challenges apply here.
  • Go in order. That is, RBY -> GSC -> RSE -> DPPt -> BW.
  • I didn't think I'd have to add this, but...Use the same Type in every Generation. Thanks. ^^

You can post your progress here in this thread, being as detailed or as vague as you like. But please, when doing so, be sure to mention which challenge you're participating in. Things would get confusing otherwise, as we have two separate lists here. All participants in the Ultimate Monotype Challenge will be listed below in this post, and everyone participating in the single-game challenges will be listed in the following post.

Note that all champions of the Kanto-Johto-Hoenn-Sinnoh Challenges will be in brackets at the beginning of each list. Anyone in this position is free to start a 5th Gen game to become a Kanto-Johto-Hoenn-Sinnoh-Isshu Champion. ^_^

Hey guys! This is the post for single monotype challenges. It doesn't get updated much at all, because most everyone does Ultimates instead, but every once in a while I feel adventurous, so I update.

So you know how there aren't Dark or Steel types in FR/LG? other than magnemite Well, if you still want to do this challenge, feel free to! Below, I've compiled a list of the appropriate time to hack in Pokemon of each type.
Spoiler:

Dark:
Houndour, Poochyena, and Seedot may be obtained at the beginning of the game.
Carvanha, Cacnea, and Corphish may be obtained after your first badge.
Murkrow and Sneasel may be obtained after your third badge.
Umbreon, Sableye, and Absol may be obtained after your fifth badge.
Larvitar may be obtained after your seventh badge.

Steel:
Pineco and Aron may be obtained at the beginning of the game.
Beldum, Skarmory, and Mawile may be obtained after your third badge.
Magnemite, Onix, and Scyther must be obtained in the wild.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the challenger list for all single monotype runs. In your first post, when you sign up, simply say which game you will be playing on, and it will be updated in the proper spot.

well EJ missed the post where i said i started a fire challenge because i finished my grass-run.
could you move me from the grass-type list to fire, please.

two things:

1. Does HGSS also end after the e4 or after Red like Gen 2

2. Could we integrate a variation of the egg rule from the HGSS monotype challenge somehow, so that rare Types could be used?

The Sceptile King August 5th, 2010 8:45 AM

I'll transfer my progress from the rse monotype challenge to here

Alakazam17 August 5th, 2010 9:10 AM

Okay, I just did my last update of the old thread, so we can now start things anew. I'd like to congratulate Fire Wolf for completing the Ghost UMC, becoming the last champion of the original challenge. ^^

Additionally, I noticed some questions regarding when and if the fifth generation games will be added to the challenge here. I think myrrhman would agree in saying that we'll definitely want to include them. Someone mentioned using spoiler tags while the games are still unavailable in the West, and I think that's a good idea. More information will come in September.

Also, to clarify something from the old thread, which will be made official over here: hacking a low-level Pokémon into your game will be legal in the cases of the Ice, Dragon, and Ghost challenges, in addition to the 2nd Gen Dark challenge. I'll add it to the rules now.

Ryu-kun August 5th, 2010 9:39 AM

You know Zammy, I am Shiranai... =P. Also, my Bug type one was gone with my old computer =/

How was/is your psychic challenge btw?

Alakazam17 August 5th, 2010 9:50 AM

Ah, didn't realize that. ^^

My Psychic challenge didn't end up so well, so I want to restart it sometime. Probably in time for this thing to include the fifth gen as well.

Timmetje August 5th, 2010 10:09 AM

So my next update in my Sapphire Grass Monotype challenge.

After i almost losed to Kyogre, his ice beam sweept almost my whole team.
I grinded under the sea my team to level 45
I walked in the gym and i falled trough the ice and must beat a trainer.
After i beated all the trainers with Tropius and Vileplume i puzzeld how to beat the puzzle.
After 10 minutes i finally get it and walked to Wallace and kicked his ass.
I healed and surft my way to Evergrande city!
I catched a Gyarados with my masterball and teached it Waterfall
I searched on some sites and saw i only need Strenght, Rock smash and Surf so my newest slave Lombre could do it.
But don't looked at some words, with Flash and waterfall it's simple.
So now i'm stuck in the pitch black darkness without Waterfall and Flash. Without an Escape rope...

And now finally my powerfull force:

Sceptile 'Blade'
lv 46, Softsand
- Slam
- Earthquake
- Leaf blade
- Aerial ace

Breloom 'Spore'
lv. 45, Amulet coin
- Mega drain
- Headbutt
- Sky uppercut
- Leech seed

Vileplume 'Flower'
lv. 45, Macho brace
- Absorb
- Posion powder
- Petal dance (deleted Sleep powder by accident)
- Sludge bomb

Tropius 'Bronto'
lv. 45, No item
- Fly
- Magical leaf
- Body slam
- Steel wing

Cacturne 'Needle'
lv. 45, Black glasses
- Cut
- Needle arm
- Faint attack

Umm, I'm currently in Johto playing through HG - but the list says I'm in Kanto ^^'

EDIT: I forgot to say, I dropped out of the 'Ultimate' Monotype thread a while back and only recently began the 'HGSS' one :P Sorry for the confusion!

MareBear August 5th, 2010 10:30 AM

I'm going to continue my Steel monotype challenge in Pearl, if you all don't mind. I've got two badges so far and I'm training up for a third as we speak. I'll update as soon as I can but I'm going to be on vacation soon so that may not happen for awhile. Still, I will do my best to update when I can. Thanks guys! =]

On that note, seeing as all the challenges are now in one thread, I suppose it would be proper format to always mention with tournament you're participating in(ie. one of the single-games or the ultimate).

I'll add something about that to the first post.

You know, I'm going to suggest that you change the name of the thread somehow. Instead of "Ultimate thread for monotype challenges" it could be interpreted as "Thread for ultimate monotype challenges", which is what confused me when I got the new link from the locked monotype challenge thread. May I suggest "Central Monotype Challenge Thread" or something to that effect instead? Just a heads-up.

That said, I will now provide a short update for my SS mono so that I may justify this post:

  • Did most of what I needed to do around getting a Beldum, which will be put off until later, and went to continue the plot.
  • Entered Mahogany Town and got scolded by not-Lance for being late. Psh, it's not like Team Rocket would do anything without me there to foil their plan anyway.
  • Fought a whole lot of Grunts while procrastinating on leveling Skarmory up to join the rest of the group in the 30-ish level range.
  • Steelix gained 555 experience points. Awesome.
  • Realized that dang, Steelix needs a better moveset. And better accuracy. Geez.

You can do either/or. Just mention which one you're doing before you start. ^^

twinsandvikes777 August 5th, 2010 2:06 PM

I think I'lll start another challenge on my SoulSilver cartridge, this time using the Steel type!
Quick question: Does .EJ's egg rule still apply, or are there any different rules? If it does, I'll be trading over eggs for Piplup, Riolu, and Aron eggs to start off the game. If not, please tell me otherwise.

Copycat. >:C

Anyway, I just cleared the Mahogany Rocket Hideout and Pryce's gym on my copy of a Steel-mono-ing Soul Silver, and the plot has taken a break so that I can train multiple members of my team. Seriously, Skarmory is waaaay underlevelled. And I still need to evolve Prinplup. And Steelix needs a decent moveset. Yeeeah.

I got bored so i started anyways haha. Ok, so i started off normally and named myself Vin, blah blah blah. Chose Totodile named Bloo, and went on my merry way. To make a short story shorter, I finished the egg quest, and traded over Piplup, Aron, and Riolu eggs. Now I'm trying to hatch them.

Corruptodile August 5th, 2010 5:37 PM

The name was quite confusing, but meh.

Won't be able to continue with my HG/SS challenge until I can find an emulator and ROM. My DS is now shot and I'm holding out for a 3DS anytime soon.

I should get a Platinum update done by tomorrow though. Thank I use a ROM for THAT.

Ultimate Monotype Challenge - Pt 3
 
After defeating Lt. Surge, I headed back towards Cerulean city before going east to Rock Tunnel. Part way through the journey I ran out of inventory space and decided to use a Body Slam TM on Meowth, not much else happened. Trainers were battled, items were found, caves were navigated in the dark, Meowths were evolved, cut to Lavender town.

I healed up and then started west towards Celadon City, avoiding most of the trainers on the way. Once I arrived I headed to a restaurant where a man gave me a coin case. With that out of the way, it was time to head to the gym.

Leader Battle: Erika
Team:
Raticate Lv.28 Water Gun, Tail Whip, Dig, Hyper Fang
Pidgeotto Lv.28 Gust, Sand Attack, Quick Attack, Whirlwind
Persian Lv.28 Body Slam, Screech, Bite, Pay Day
Bellsprout Lv.10 Cutslave

Not much to say, Raticate swept her team with Hyper Fang.

After a rather dissappointing gym battle, I headed to the game corner, spent all my cash on coins (damn, only 2100...) and after another easy battle headed downstairs to defeat Team Rocket. Several grunts and movement tile puzzles later I was face to face with the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni. Put simply, if you thought my battle with Erika was pathetic you are NOT going to like this. Raticate defeated Onix and Rhyhorn with Dig and Persian got lucky and defeated Kangaskhan in 2 hits with Body Slam.

Item Get! Silph Scope.

Next time! Pokemon Tower and Fuchsia City.

EJ August 5th, 2010 7:17 PM

Again I apologize for being inactive, but I promise to keep up.

I have no problem reprising my role of the HGSS challenge host. I actually love this idea. This way one popular monotype(s) will draw people to attempt the less popular ones.

EDIT: ONE PIECE <3 props to alakazam17

Jake♫ August 5th, 2010 8:12 PM

Wow, I started that Water challenge WAY in the beginning now didn't I? Oh well, we're ditching it now =P I'm actually going to start a Dragon Ultimate Monotype (Just because it's fun :)), going FR--->C---->E---->PT

Naturally, I'm going to have to hack my starter in each time, but according to the rules that's fine, so I'm actually going to start FR right now =)

johnathondrag August 5th, 2010 10:11 PM

I shall try a steel UMC, I'll be hacking in a lvl 5 steel pokemon and ill start with crystal, then to ruby, then to platinum. <3

Wish me luck playas!

austy14 August 5th, 2010 10:48 PM

So, I started my monotype challenge on HG today--Electric! Enjoy my first day! (It's pretty long...) :D

Started my game and isten to Prof. Oak babble. Then--yes! He asked me my name! Woah! I told him it was Sparky. He bought it. Then he hit me with his shrink ray and placed in my bed room. Such a bland rooom I have... So I went downstairs to see my Mommy. She gave me presnts! A bag, options, my ID, and the almighty ability to save. I have a cool mom ;) Then she told Prof. Elm was looking for me. Creeper. I headed out the door and then GOT ATTACKED BY A MARILL! Get your off me! Then Crys came. Wait, what? You changed your name? Not cool, Crys. And stop dying your hair. I thought now would be a good time to do so, so I used my saving abilities. Some ability that is... all I did was take a nap on my door step. I tried to leave town but some lady stopped me. You're not my mother! Fine. I'll talk to this cool read head stalking Prof. Elm. All I did was say "Hi" and he kicked me! Son of a b***h. Well, time to visit my nextdoor pedophile! Prof. Elm talked some s**t too and then the phone wrang--no, that was his computer. He got an e-mail from Mr. Pokemon. Everyone uses big words here, "aquaintance?" He's your goddam friend, suck it up. Then he told me to pick a Pokemon. I knew this would only be a temporary one, but it still took a lot of thought. 3 seconds later I walked away with my Totodile. I went to talk to that ginger bully, 'cus now I had a tough blue crocodile to back me up. He still kicked me... Being run out of my own hometown I tried to leave, but Mom2 stopped me. Again. Lady, I am 10. I can take care of myself. I guess I have to visit my real Mom. Turns out it was a good idea--she gave me a PokeGear! And she taught me how to call someone. So sonsiderate you are Mom! Now the psycho lady who thinks I'm her son let me pass. But a couple steps out of town and Prof. Elm stops me! Now what? Your phone number? No! I don't give my number out to pedophiles. Guess I had no choice :( So I went west to Cherrygrove. I saw one wild Pokemon and killed it. Now in Cherrygrove some other old man wants to talk to me? And I have to follow him? Ever hear of stranger danger? Wow! He's a fast old f***er. So that's a Pokemon Center, that's a Poke Mart, that's Water, and now your showing me... your house? Are these games filled with rapists? Get your mind out of the gutter, Nintendo. And he gave me shoes. I will not be bribed for sex. I'm out of this town... but before I can leave, guess who needs to give me more stuff? Creepy-Old-Fast Man does! A map card? Why doesn't my damn PokeGear come with one? Sliph Co. seriously relies on child molesters to hand them out? Why not just give all the trianers iPhones? Then they can get any app whenever they want. Some more wild Pokemon laid to rest by my ferocious Totodile... and whats this house in the middle of the woods? Mr. Pokemon's, of course. Is he part of this pedophile league too? OMG! I'M SO SORRY! I didn't mean to walk in on you and Prof. Oak... um... yeah. It's ok though, you have an easter egg for me. No candy inside? Damn... Oh. and now you make me sleep? Did you watch me intently? Did you keep your pants on? I'm sure not... but now Oak has to chime in. You seriously don't recognize me? We met like... 15 minutes ago. And you give me a Pokedex? Is it Christmas? Everyone's giving me gifts... Well Oak left and I don't want to be alone with Mr. Pokemon so I left too. Prof. Elm's calling!?!? Stop it, creepers... I'm 10. What... it's an emergency? Oh no! That sounds serious. On m way back to the lab the meanie red head runs into me. You wanna fight? Oh... you do. Totodile totally owns his Chikorita. $500! Wow! I really could get an iPhone now! Yes, yes... you're great.. blah blah. Wait... how did I get your triner card? Ack! I'm sorry! I saw your name... oh no. Quick stop at the PC and it's off to New Bark Town! Gotta check on Prof. Elm and his "emergency." There's a cop! Who'd Elm rape now? Wait! I din't do anything! He's the sick-minded child molester! And I can't even talk to defend myslef. But Crys--I mean, "Lyra"--comes to rescue! Where's Marill? Anyways, she tells him it's really that red head a**hole. And the cop knows I battled him? Is he stalking me now too? Such a dirty place, Johto is. You want to know his name? He was some adopted kid cheaply named "Passerby Boy." So I get to name him? How about... Ampere. Ok, yes, good cop--go arrest him. That's all Elm, I don't want to play any of your dirty games. Let's go see mom! Save my money? Well... ok. Before I go I grab a quick snack in our little kitchen. A clean sink and a fridge full of water and lemonade. Never mind, I was hoping for some Pop-Tarts. Out west again and Brunette Crys wants to talk. Yes, jump around in the grass with your Maril. Glad your having fun. Wait... was I born 30 minutes ago? Everyone wants to teach me how to do everything... ooh, Pokeballs? Awesome! Merry Christmas to you too! Catch a random Hoothoot, and off to get my first electric pokemon to replace my starter.

I went to breed the perfect Pichu egg (one with a Pichu inside) on Diamond. I got that so that it had almost 10 steps left to hatch and saved right before the union room. There was my starter!

Traded Hoothoot for Jenna's egg and ran around a bit till it hatched into a beautiful... baby... girl! Congratulation's, it's a Pichu. Nice moveset too... hope that's not cheating. But I go on to train Volty (that's what I names her!). Found a level 4 Hoothoot, and even though she's level 1, she wiped the grass with Thunder! Few more Hoothoots and a Rattatta or 2 and she's ready to go. Sorry HM (as I named my Totodile earlier), it's time for Bill's PC for you. Where to next... Violet CIty, of course! On my way there. there were some weird little boys that tried to get my phone number. I'm sorry, but does Sparky come off that gay? Straight guys can wear V-neck hoodies and capris too. Finally in Violet City... Volty was kinda lonely, so I went south to Route 32 and caught Amph, the Mareep, for a companion. I was finally able to take on... the old guy at the top of the tower? That too... beat all those monks and their weeds. NOW I'm ready to beat the gym leader. The Jr. trainers were pretty easy, and Volty took out Falkner in a few short minutes. I got a badge! We just got a badge, we just got a badge, we just got a badge, wonder who it's from? Well Falkner isn't that bad 'cus he's like... 16. He had no intentions of raping me, so it's all good. Prof. Elm's calling agian? You wanna give me the egg back? Why didn't you just let me keep it? So I stop by the Mart to pick that up. Then some Kimono Girl comes and talks about something... telling me to take care of the egg and all. And this is where I call it a day! 1:38 and I have 2 pokemon, an egg, and a badge. Good start.

OK, so I finished my Flying Challenge on Platinum ages ago. I was trying to get around to updating properly, but I never did and probably won't, so I'll just post my team.

Duffy (Drifblim) @ Spell Tag
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/75/Spr_4p_426.png
Lvl. 57
Aftermath
- Shadow Ball
- Air Cutter
- Thunderbolt
- Explosion
Improved an awful lot once he got more powerful attacks like Shadow Ball and Thunderbolt under his belt. An average Pokemon, but one of my favourites.

Scorpula (Gliscor)
@ NeverMeltIce
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/cb/Spr_4p_472.png
Lvl. 58
Hyper Cutter
- Night Slash
- Dig
- Ice Fang
- X-Scissor
Scorpula's great, his speed, power and coverage came in great use when I just needed to hit something hard and fast. Ice Fang was a godsend, he single-handedly beat Garchomp.

Scramblore (Togekiss) @ Fist Plate
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/34/Spr_4p_468.png
Lvl. 58
Hustle
- Ancientpower
- Flamethrower
- Aura Sphere
- Extremespeed
Definitely one of the best on my team, Aura Sphere was wonderfully overpowered.

Mangosaur (Tropius) @ Aspear Berry
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/63/Spr_4p_357.png
Lvl. 57
Clorophyll
- Sunny Day
- Solarbeam
- Fly
- Natural Gift
Mangosaur is awesome, despite by all standards being crap. Because he's Mangosaur. I had a nice little tactic going against Bertha, Sunny Day+Solarbeam with Clorophyll works nicely.


Dracosect (Yanmega) @ Insect Plate
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/06/Spr_4p_469.png
Lvl. 58
Speed Boost
- Ancientpower
- Air Slash
- Bug Buzz
- Psychic
MVP, no doubt. It was great to have such a speedy Special attacker.

Cottonwing (Altaria) @ Soft Sand
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/c4/Spr_4p_334.png
Lvl. 59
Natural Cure
- Ice Beam
- Dragon Pulse
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
Here was my tactic against Flint: 4xDragon Dance, 5xEarthquake. Cottonwing rocks my socks.

I would like to take challenge.

Forum nickname: Sajmon180
Name: Simon
Game: Emerald
Pokemon Type: Fire
Platform: PC-Emulator, No$Gba.

I would start with Torchic of course, who I'm going to keep. I'm thinking of Ninetales, Solrock and Macgargo/Torkoal. Are there another Fire types anyway?
I'm going to use 2 HM slaves which is Zigzagoon (can I catch Linoone later?) and Wingull (can I catch Pelipper later?) and eventually Spheal for Diving only.

tachikaze316 August 6th, 2010 4:38 AM

After giving Team Rocket a sound thrashing in Celadon city I headed towards Lavender town, cutting through Saffron city and picking up TM29 on the way. Not much to say about Pokemon Tower, Night Shade could hit all of my team, only Raticate could hit the ghosts, I decided to run from most wild pokemon to avoid getting him further ahead in levels. The Rocket grunts at the top of the tower were, as usual, dissappointing.

With Mr. Fuji saved and the pokeflute acquired, it was time to head south to collect my next 2 team members. The first new recruit was found blocking the path near Vermillion City. Several hyper fangs and several resets later, Snorlax was safely inside a pokeball. I continued to Fuchsia City and the Safari Zone, after paying to enter the zone 13 times (No, really) I finally got a Chansey. After some trainer battles, everyone was around level 30-35, time for the gym.

Leader Battle: Koga
Team:
Raticate Lv.35 Water Gun, Tail Whip, Dig, Hyper Fang
Pidgeotto Lv.35 Swift, Sand Attack, Quick Attack, Wing Attack
Chansey Lv.35 Psychic, Bubblebeam, Thunderbolt, Sing
Snorlax Lv.35 Body Slam, Amnesia, Rest, Mega Punch
Persian Lv.35 Body Slam, Bite, Double Team, Screech

Tried to avoid using Chansey and Raticate as much as possible, after all this is meant to be a monotype "challenge", Snorlax managed to take down both Koffings with Body Slam spam, however he fainted after Muk became nigh impossible to hit (frickin' minimize). Enter Pidgeotto, with the help of several super potions Pidgeotto managed to take Muk down with swift. I figured I'd give Persian a bit of screentime vs Weezing, then it exploded...yeah. Well, Pidgeotto got enough experience from Muk to reach Lv.36, evolution time!

Next time! Saffron city.

  • Sees how slow things are going when Rock Tomb hits approximately two percent of the time, and put off Skarmory's training for the time being until we have Pokémon around that might actually get experience points.
  • After dwelling over Metagross and Bastiodon as my last team member, I decided to switch Steelix for Bastiodon and use the last slot for Metagross. YAY.
  • Put off getting Bastiodon until I find Fly in Pearl, and set my sights back on training Beldum and Mr. Amazing Skarmory. No way I'm taking on Team Rocket and its badly-localized admins with this team as it is...
  • Decided that the Rocketeers might provide some decent EXP and entered the hideout of peril.
  • Went undercover, but Rivalman caught me and misunderstood, thinking I was trying to dress like them. After slugging him and explaining (angrily) that I was GOING UNDERCOVER DAMMIT, I dealt with the Rocket Grunt who was buddying up to me and went inside. Sometimes I really hate that dude...

Gonna continue my psychic type mono once I get to the comp where the save state is =)

myrrhman August 6th, 2010 6:20 AM

I'm back guys, this time with an update of my own. I just did a 1 hour video for my ground challenge, but its all there. You can hear my friend fail at hacking while I do this if you want, but most of the sounds are my keys and him cussing because he can't figure it out. I really don't know why I even got the Nidoqueen, she just held me back and took some good moves. My friend did figure out what he was doing an hour after this (if you're interested). Also, I think this is when his sister's hot drunk friend came over. I'm starting to upload the videos now.

Quick Question: Does anyone know of a way to make videos longer than 10 minutes uploadable to here? I don't really want to split it all up.

Next OP update will have me adding aaaaaall the userbars.

Right now, we are on our way to Celestic Town to visit Cynthia's Grandmother and complete the stuff there. As for the last two gym battles, Maylene was SO FREAKIN' HARD, MAN! Her Lucario wouldn't faint and kept using Drain Punch on me to restore health and when I finally got him into the red, she used a Hyper Potion on him. <_< Anyway, Crasher Wake was easier, thanks to Prinplup's Grass Knot and some help from Bastidon and Shock Wave. So, I'll update when I get the time on my vacation, which starts tomorrow but if I don't update by next weekend, don't freak out. XD

And since I've started already I'll give a breif report.

Began my Journey on Thursday July 29

Named myself Onion (gonna nickname my pokemon after vegetables)

Named my rival Turnip.

Started with Bulbasaur, beat my rival soundly in our first encounter. Then I traveled to Viridian where I was given Oaks Parcel. I delivered it and was sent on my way with the pokedex.

Next I traveled through Viridiuan forest, a very easy journey for good old Bulbasaur, and I don't need any antidotes. Next I challenged Brock's gym, probably the easiest thing I have ever done. Earned my boulder badge and was on my way.

Next I got the running shoes and beat all the trainers on the adjoining route. Next I traveled back to viridian to meet with my rival at Indigo Plateau. By then I had a lv. 18 Ivysaur, and defeated his team easily.

Next was Mt. Moon. My main problem here was the fact that I was running out of PP quickly. Luckily Ivysaur learned Razor Leaf when he used up his last PP of vine whip, making things a lot easier. I left the cave with the dome fossil and continued on my way to Cerulean.

Here, on my way to Nugget Bridge, I was challenged by my rival. It turned out to be a close encounter, but I prevailed in the end using sleep powder+leech seed on my rival's Charmander. Then I traveled north across the bridge, and was asked to be a member of team rocket.

I guess I said no, although I wasn't given a choice :( and I proceeded to Bill's. On the next route I caught a Bellsprout who I trained against trainers for the rest of the route to bill's.

After saving Bill and adding a few pages to my pokedex (although bill thought I didn't come to see his collection) I headed for the Cerulean gym. Here, Bellsprout prooved his worth by defeating every single pokemon in the gym, save for starmie who confused the poor guy. Yet, Ivysaur prevailed and soundly defeated my opponent.

Next we traveled south for Vermilion city. On my trip south I captured a meowth to serve as an HM slave. I also battled my way through the route just north of Vermilion, having to go back to Cerulean to heal paralysis.

Next I got my bike voucher and procured a bike. I then traveled east of Vermilion to battle the trainers there before I boarded the S.S. Anne. By now Bellsprout was a Weepinbell.

I then boarded the S.S. Anne and Evolved Ivysaur into a Venusaur. My rival, Turnip, proved to be easy as can be, posing no threat to my team of two. I then rubbed the captain's back and got HM01.

I taught the HM to Meowth and then headed for Surge's gym. Safe to say, this gym was fairly easy. The only trouble I had was Paralysis. I then captured enough pokemon to be able to obtain Flash and I am now headed for Rock Tunnel.

tachikaze316 August 7th, 2010 12:14 AM

With the SoulBadge in hand I decided to head back to Saffron City via Celadon. I finally had enough cash to buy a Porygon. I immediately taught it Ice Beam and Tri Attack by TM, before remembering it would've learned Tri Attack levelling up, oops.

Anyways, on to Saffron City, Chansey cleared the fighting dojo alone (Hm, maybe I'm a little overlevelled). Anyway...Silph Co. I avoided most of the grunts and headed straight for Giovanni. (If I'm overlevelled then I don't want to level up more, that'd just remove any remaining epicness...) Oh good, a rival battle, these are always intere-Dammit Chansey. *sigh* Chansey solo'd the rival battle. I decided at this point that the problem wasn't my levels, and that it was Chansey's insane special stat. So I switched Snorlax to the front and taught it Surf. Turns out Chansey's special stat wasn't the problem...Snorlax obliterated Giovanni's team and all was well in the world, I recieved a master ball which would never see use.

Well, with Team Rocket once again foiled it was time for the gym. I don't want to battle anyone unless I ha- what the hell!? The basic trainers here are nearly as tough as Giovanni. Anyway, I made my way to the leader, avoiding most of the trainers...

Leader Battle: Sabrina
Team:
Raticate Lv.37 Water Gun, Tail Whip, Dig, Hyper Fang
Pidgeot Lv.37 Swift, Sand Attack, Double-Edge, Wing Attack
Chansey Lv.37 Psychic, Bubblebeam, Thunderbolt, Sing
Snorlax Lv.37 Body Slam, Surf, Rest, Strength
Persian Lv.37 Body Slam, Bite, Double Team, Screech
Porygon Lv.28 Ice Beam, Tri Attack, Psybeam, Recover

I honestly can't remember much about this fight. All I remember is it was depressingly easy. I'm pretty sure I only used Snorlax and Persian during the match though.

Next time! The final 2 Gyms.

PC username: (look up, the user name is before this part of the post)
Game:Fire Red
Type:Fire
Will be using an emulator if possible as it is much easier with the throttle.
I might also do a Emerald Monotype after but I don't have the other games so I won't be doing ultimate.

tachikaze316 August 7th, 2010 4:24 AM

After aquiring the MarshBadge I headed back to Pallet Town via Diglett's cave (no real reason, probably would've been quicker to get HM02) and then surfed south to Cinnibar Island. I decided to investigate the creepy looking mansion before even thinking about entering the gym. Several super potions and antidotes later, I found a key, huh. Anyway, rather than doing the smart thing and training my team up, I went straight over to the gym.

Leader Battle: Blaine
Team:
Raticate Lv.38 Water Gun, Tail Whip, Dig, Hyper Fang
Pidgeot Lv.37 Swift, Sand Attack, Double-Edge, Wing Attack
Chansey Lv.38 Psychic, Bubblebeam, Thunderbolt, Sing
Snorlax Lv.38 Body Slam, Surf, Rest, Strength
Persian Lv.38 Body Slam, Bite, Double Team, Screech
Porygon Lv.29 Ice Beam, Tri Attack, Psybeam, Recover

What a dissappointment, heck, half the time he just used super potions, even when his 'mons were still on full health. Anyway, after that I surfed back to Pallet town and headed to Viridian City for badge #8.

Leader Battle: Giovanni
Team:
Porygon Lv.30 Psybeam, Tri Attack, Ice Beam, Recover
Persian Lv.39 Bite, Body Slam, Double Team, Screech
Pidgeot Lv.38 Swift, Double-edge, Sand-attack, Wing Attack
Snorlax Lv.39 Surf, Body Slam, Rest, Amnesia
Chansey Lv.39 Thunderbolt, Bubblebeam, Psychic, Minimize
RaticateLv.39 Dig, Hyper Fang, Tail Whip, Water Gun

Remember what I said about Blaine being dissapointing? Well, Giovanni wasn't much better. Anyways, I finally had all 8 badges and was off to the pokemon league...after handing my rival another beatdown.

Victory Road was mildly annoying and was followed by my first actual level grind in this playthrough. I got my team to Lv.40-45 and taught them a couple of moves before taking on the elite four. I'd like to give a play by play of these battles but honestly, they weren't very memorable. Heck the only thing that stands out is that I tried to DoubleTeam/Bodyslam sweep Lorelei's team (Only time I actually used DT or Minimize) only to be defeated by the somehow still able to get a 100% hit rate Cloyster.

Anyway, Elite Four got brutalised, Lance was probably the easiest of the lot but there was still the champion fight...I used a save state because I knew he had a good 15-20 levels on me. Type advantages were used and his first 5 mons did pretty much nothing. Unfortunately, I underestimated Venusaur and got swept the first time around. Cue the save state, and a critical Sky Attack from Pidgeot.

Pokemon Blue. Monotype Normal challenge...Finished.

Final Team:
Porygon Lv.45 Psybeam, Tri Attack, Ice Beam, Recover
Persian Lv.41 Bite, Body Slam, Double Team, Screech
Pidgeot Lv.43 Swift, Double-edge, Sand-attack, Sky Attack
Snorlax Lv.46 Surf, Body Slam, Rest, Amnesia
Chansey Lv.49 Thunderbolt, Bubblebeam, Psychic, Minimize
RaticateLv.46 Dig, Hyper Fang, Tail Whip, Super Fang

MVP: Chansey
Award for Effort: Persian

Next time. Pokemon Crystal.

Scytha August 7th, 2010 4:57 AM

That's it for now, I don't know why but I recorded all 40 minutes of this and I probably will record the rest

joeyijoeyi August 7th, 2010 8:01 AM

Rofl, I almost did that. I did a two Gengar run on Silver, though. Alpha and Omega, how I miss you. I'm having problems right now at Byron's gym for my ghost UMC on platinum. Can't get past his magneton, because it one hits me with thunderbolt.

560cool. August 7th, 2010 10:48 AM

Okay. Since I'm bored during the [[rest]] of the summer and all my games are free (finished a Random, yay !) I guess I'll give this a go ! (again, after a mass glitch failure...)

Okay, I've decided. I'm going with Fire types on the following :

Red (emulated) -- Crystal (emulated) -- Ruby (GBAd) -- Platinum (DSid)

I'm curious how this turns out. Oh, I'm doing a bloody script. Stay tuned ! ^_^

Get a Focus Blast TM from Veilstone and teach it to Gengar if you have one.

Right now, I'm using a Drifblim (MVP, at level like 45) that knows Minimize, Shadow Ball, Payback, and Fly, and a level like 30 Haunter that I don't even know what it knows because I've been neglecting him. Its like Shadow Punch, Curse, Payback, Spite or something. Still waiting for another DS so that I can trade and get a Gengar. I'm eventually going to get a Froslass and a Dusknoir.

I defeated red after a short(ish) break from the challenge! Charizard and his flamethrower.. Hate reds life.


Pikachu was taken out easily with Boulder. Couple of crunches and an iron tail and it was done. Espeon tried to give me a challenge. I sent out Scythe. Used swords dance and one critical slash and espeon was down. Venusaur was up next. I sent out Jet, and killed it with peck. Then, he sent out my only real weakness in this battle. Charizard. I switched between scythe and boulder, having them revive one another until flamethrower was out. I then used rock throw and took him out in a few shots. Blastoise, i started with Pinecone and used explosion, weakening him. I then sent out Philips and finished him. Snorlax was the final one. I paralyzed him with thunder wave, then revived Pinecone. I sent him out and he exploded.

Johto, is done! next up, Hoenn.. Or however you spell it.


My Final Team...


Boulder/Steelix
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/0d/Spr_2c_208.gif
Level 60

-Iron Tail
-Dragon Breath
-Crunch
-Rock Throw

Steelix was easily the MVP on this team. He was useful throughout the entire game. I was planning on giving him earthquake, but I'm glad i didn't. I probably would've gotten rid of rock throw, and that would've made killing fire types harder. Gonna miss him on gen three..



Scythe/Scizor
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/9b/Spr_2c_212.gif
Level 58

-Quick Attack
-Metal Claw
-Slash
-Swords Dance

The second best on this team. In the begging, i was about to ditch him. I'm so glad that i didn't. It wasn't completely smart of me to not put any fighting moves on him, but it worked out in the end. Not sure if he pops up in the next one. But if he does, he'll be on my team for sure...


Jet/Skarmory
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/64/Spr_2c_227.gif
Level 56

-Peck
-Steel Wing
-Swift
-Fly

I didn't think that he would stick in my team, or be useful at all. But in the E4 fights, he helped a lot. And i needed to fight them a few times so i could afford more revives, which helped me with red extremely. Hope i can see him again...



Philips/Magneton
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b1/Spr_2c_082.gif
Level 58

-Tri Attack
-Thunder Shock
-Thunder Wave
-Zap Cannon

He.. Well, it helped throughout the entire game. Especially during the E4, like most of my pokes. Looking forward to the 4th Gen so i can use his evolution...



Pinecon/Forretress
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7e/Spr_2c_205.gif
Level 55

-Spike
-Rapid Spin
-Explosion
-Take Down

He was actually the worst on my team. I could barely kill anything with him. He was most useful in the red fight, where he exploded and killed snorlax and crippled blastoise. If he's in the next few games, i might get him for his explosiveness...


After doing some research, i decided that i will play ruby, for mawile. Steel types are scarce in all the games, so i need all the help i can find. I will post an update when.. when i feel like it i guess..

SECO'S BURNING MONOTYPE !

Red -- Crystal -- Ruby -- Platinum


Well, what can boredom do out of people ! Anyways, this is the start of my script. I'm gonna try and keep you entertained !

-----------------------------------------
Start of : Pokemon Monotype.
Oh, what can boredom do out of people ? Make them kill somebody ? Murder themselves ?! No. It tempts them into doing a challenge. A hard one. A long one. A time-consuming one. The Ultimate Monotype Challenge (UMC). And thus, our hero from Pallet/New Bark/Littleroot/Twinleaf begins this challenge with the type of flames. From Kanto, to Sinnoh. And everything inbeetween ! ^^

"Battle hard. Battle fierce. Battle to the end !" (Dragon Guard Scanlations, 2008)


note : as a note to myself ...

RED font will be for Seco, the protagonist, while the BLUE foint will always be for the rivals. The Proffesor will use a GREEN font, while other trainers will have various other fonts. Pokemon will be represented by Trozei! sprites (eg. :t001:) and Sinnoh Pokemon will simply have their stat screen little sprite.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Seco was pleasently enjoying his 8-bit trip thorugh Pallet, when he remembered the thing that stumped any kids : you had to go out of Pallet to actually advance...

"The smart has the brains, but the stupid has the balls ..."

austy14 August 7th, 2010 12:23 PM

Well, here's my update: I've been busy and haven't played in 2 days. But I got back on today and am heading south to Azelea town. By tonight I hope have the 3rd badge at least, to catch up for my missed time. Also gonna work on a fancy challenge banner for my sig later... Current team: Pichu♀, 13; Mareep♀, 12. Gonna have another fun and most likely pedophile filled update tonight! See ya! ;]

myrrhman August 7th, 2010 1:35 PM

Right then, because I don't have to go many places to check my updates, I can focus more on doing my monotypes! So, I will continue my RBY Normal Monotype (Alakazam, you can add me to the ultimate for all the types. If you trust me, I'm on Johto for Grass, Poison, Ground, Psychic, and Rock. I'm on Kanto still for all the others (except Dark and Steel obviously). Going to finish up Normal Kanto right now (its basically a Clefable solo run, although I have a Wigglytuff I've been training).

Hem hem...
Made it to Celadon. Taught Clefable Ice Beam.
Went to Saffron so Clefable could learn Psychic.
Got Fly for Farfetch'd the Cut/Fly slave
Took down the Pokemon Tower
Took out Erika's gym in one round, but had to go back and heal for Erika (was out of Ice Beam/Psychic)
Erika fainted in 3 Ice Beams.
Because I'm awesome and know what's up, I got only the Hyper Potion, Full Heal, Max Revive, Protein, Card Key, Calcium, Carbos, and Rare Candy in Silph. Also beat Rival, got Lapras, and beat Giovanni.
One hit the Fighting Dojo
Used the Master ball on Snorlax
Beat Koga
O_o caught a Chansey. Got Surf and Strength, which I taught to Snorlax.
Beat Blaine after getting the Secret Key.
Went back and Beat Sabrina
Then Giovanni
Then Rival
Got through Victory Road.
Loreli didn't like Thunderbolt
Bruno didn't like Bubblebeam/Psychic
Agatha didn't like Thunderbolt/Psychic
Lance didn't like Ice Beam (although Aerodactyl did kill Clefable and I had to use a Max Revive)
Rival was really tough, and Alakazam almost ran me out of attacks with Recover, but I beat him... finally. Screenshots coming up.

Oh boy we're not clear. Hopefully you can read it all.

IDoLikeMudkip August 7th, 2010 3:07 PM

It has been a busy day and here is the lowdown on what i have done.

The Story Begins:

-Started adventure as Mud and rival Flare

-Left pallet...wait was stopped by Oak

-Received Leaves(Bulbasaur) and left...oh wait cant leave the lab yet...stopped by Flare

-Promptly lost to a Charmander who couldn't stay away from Crit's

-Finally left Pallet and promptly got owned by a Pidgy. (they know gust on lvl 4, news to me)

-Got to Viridian received oak's parcel and returned it to Oak

-Received pokedex and was finally on my way to becoming a grass pokemon master

-Got back to Viridian and headed over to the Indigo Plato to face Flare, fail

-Go part way through Viridian Forest, returned and faced Flare again, 2nd fail

-Finally got through Viridian Forest, healed and returned

-Faced Flare AGAIN and as proven by they saying, the 3rd times the charm, finally won

-Arrived in Pewter, challenged the gym, and won on the first attempt with my only pokemon Leaves running right through with vine whip

-Started down route 3 and Leaves reached lvl 16, Hello Ivysaur

-Finished route 3 and entered Mt. Moon

-Caught the second member of my team Shrooms(Paras)

-After a couple hours of training, running, fighting, frustration, and reliving the horror that is Zubat i have gotten through Mt. Moon and have arrived in
Cerulean

-Going toward Nugget bridge i had a fateful encounter with Flare and won handily

-Attempted the Nugget bridge and won with a couple trips to the PokeCenter to keep Shrooms alive

-Finished the bridge and received Team Rocket invitation which i quickly and forcefully declined

-On route 5 added the next member to my team Oddish (Oddish) [oops, quickly find the name rater]

-Got to and helped Bill, who was convinced i didn't want to see his rare pokemon, but instead gave me the S.S. ticket

-Flattened Misty with the only pokemon seeing battle being Oddish who spammed the absorb

-Showed Team rocket what's what and received Dig
with a quick heal i was on my way toward vermilion

-Flew through the underground path and destroyed some trainers, and was ultimately sent all the way back up to Cerulean

-More fights and a couple heals later, arrived in Vermilion

-First stop in Vermilion would be the S.S. ANNE

-Cleared the S.S. ANNE allowing Shrooms and Oddish to evolve then ran into Flare and failed quite hard

-After failing for about five more times i beat Flare with a Poison Powder and an Absorb/Scratch combo MVP goes to Gloom for poisoning Charmelion

-Met the captain and gave him a back massage, in his gratitude he gave me HM01 for cutting

I laughed so much when you said "He was most useful in the Red fight, where he exploded and killed Snorlax" :laugh:

Anyway... Toy Story 3 went on longer than I expected so I'll have to update some time tomorrow with my first proper update ;)

EDIT: What's the rules for Egg trading?
How many steel type eggs am I allowed to trade over, Steel types are pretty hard to catch so I'd rather trade a couple over at the start.

Another Edit :P : Just looked at the start of the thread, I'm assuming EJ's HG/SS monotype challenge rules still apply so I'll trade over some eggs tomorrow when I properly start my challenge.

Ultimate Monotype Pt.7?
 
- Started with Totodile (Once again, slaving reasons, definitely not so my /flying types would have an advantage against the rival's starter)
- Got the egg from Mr. Pokemon.
- Beat the redheaded stepchild, erm...my rival.
- Delivered the egg to Professor Elm
- Caught a Sentret (Rhet) and Teddiursa (Teddy [Yep, real imaginative, well...looking back, they're all pretty bad.])
- Trained up to level 6.
- Cleared Sprout Tower easily, on to the gym

Leader Battle: Falkner
Team:
Sentret Lv9. Tackle, Defense Curl
Teddiursa Lv10. Scratch, Leer, Lick
Sentret defeated him solo...after 6 defense curls and a potion >.>

-Went south through Union cave
-Caught Spearow(Nickname pending)
-Onwards, to the Azalea Gy-hey, who's this jerk?
-Dealt with team rocket, now where was I? Ah yes, Azalea Gym

Leader Battle: Bugsy
Team:
Sentret Lv12. Tackle, Defense Curl, Quick Attack
Teddiursa Lv14. Scratch, Leer, Lick
Spearow Lv12. Peck, Growl, Leer
Egg
Spearow pecked both cocoon pokemon down, but scyther took out both sentret and spearow(I didn't want to use potions) Teddy finished it off and gained a level in the process.

- Okay, heal up and we're off to the Ilex For-what's that music
- Oh good, another battle with the redheaded stepchild...yay.
- Not much to say really, I think Teddy's slightly overleveled

Next Time! Goldenrod and beyond...also, maybe better writing...

Ryu-kun August 8th, 2010 1:08 AM

Heh... I cant get to the challenge comp now, so I'll just post my progress

-Beat Lt.Surge
-Got through Rock Tunnel without flash
-Went to Celadon
-Beat the Rockets there
-Beat the rockets in Lavender
-Got to... Well, the south city place xD
-Decided not to use any other Pokémon because of the pathetic gen 1 movesets =/
-Saved

KingdomBlade August 8th, 2010 2:35 AM

I'm now starting Poision Ultimate-Monotype Challenge with Red.

Planned Red Team: Venasaur, Nidoking, Golbat, Tentacruel, Muk, Weezing*

*Huh, no Gengar? I would use it, but I have no idea how to evolve it on an emulator. If someone could help me, it would be appreciated, but I don't really need it since in this game, all of it's STAB attacks are Physical so it's use is hindered.

Update no. 1
- Started up the game, and got a Bulbasaur starter. Miraculously beat the rival.
- Got Bulbasaur up to level 10, and got the parcel and stuff.
- Bought some Pokeballs and caught a Male Nidoran.
- Grinded both up to level 16, and evolved them. Thank God for 1000% speed.
- Swept up the forest thing, and it's puny little bugs.
- Beat Brock with very little effort thanks to Vine Whip.
- Went into Mt. Moon and caught Zubat. Grinded it to level 19 to match the rest of my team.
- After going out of Mt. Moon, I was already able to evolve Nidorino with Moon Stone and Zubat evolved into Golbat.
- Went into Cerulean and beat up Staryu with Golbat and Leech Life (I couldn't let Ivysaur get all the experience) and Starmie with Vine Whip and Ivysaur.
- Went to Bill and got the Ticket thing.
- After getting to Vermillion City, I explored a bit of Diglett cave and leveled up on the route, then going to the Ship.
- At the ship, I was able to beat Blue single handedly with Nidoking, very fun.
- Thankfully, I got the Body Slam TM, which I taught to Nidoking instead of Thrash since I found Thrash kind of annoying with the effects.
- After getting off, I caught an Oddish as a cutslave.
- I went to the gym and beat Lt. Surge with Nidoking again by Body Slamming repeatedly.
- Grinded a bit for some new moves.

Current team.

Myzou August 8th, 2010 3:56 AM

Before I start my Psychic HG/SS challenge back up, I want to make sure of something: In the original thread, I was given permission to save file change my Slowpoke into a Slowking (without altering any stats, etc), after obtaining a King's Rock from the Pokeathlon (with a 5% framerate after the half mark of the games... took me 2 hours to get one :S) As trading isn't possible with a DS emulator. I was even given permission to change it without the rock, as it's possible to get it with enough time, but I wanted to be as legit as possible, XD

I was wondering: Is that still ok, or would I have to start all over again? All it did was change the species to Slowking, and upon leveling up, it's stats corrected to what a Slowking evolution would have granted. It's a normal Slowking, through and through. It simply allowed me to evolve it while having the item without the ability to trade. (I then tossed said rock, as it shouldnt be there, and I would be tempted to use it for it's flinch rate :3)

However, even though I'm only just past Whitney, I'd rather not reset... Beating Falkner with just Unown, and then Bugsy's scyther with Unown and Slowpoke is just... not happening again, XD

560cool. August 8th, 2010 5:58 AM

And there I with my mouth again ...

I have three badges and I''m up to Celadon. (went there to get Flarez the Flareon and Xtreme the Growlithe). I soloed my way thorugh with Charmking. I' gonna try and attempt the Grass Gym (which will be soooo easy) whenever I finish the grinding of Flarez and Xtreme.

Current Team :

Charmking :t006: Lv. 44
Moves : Slash, Body Slam, Ember, Dig
Okay ... this beast got me through all the game up to Celadon. And I'm sure he'll keep being the main until the end ! :P

Flarez :t136: Lv. 25
Moves : Tackle, Sand Attack
How the heck am I gonna raise this thing ?! How can I teach it fire-typed moves ?! HELP !

Xtreme :t058: Lv. 19
Moves : Bite, Ember, Take Down, Roar
At least it knows Ember ... I have a Fire Stone and I will evolve it later...

Okay, the script is doomed. But I'm sure to zip my way through Crystal just like this one. But Ruby and Platinum will be on their consoles, so I will have time to script ! :P

I was even given permission to change it without the rock, as it's possible to get it with enough time, but I wanted to be as legit as possible, XD

I was wondering: Is that still ok, or would I have to start all over again? All it did was change the species to Slowking, and upon leveling up, it's stats corrected to what a Slowking evolution would have granted. It's a normal Slowking, through and through. It simply allowed me to evolve it while having the item without the ability to trade. (I then tossed said rock, as it shouldnt be there, and I would be tempted to use it for it's flinch rate :3)

However, even though I'm only just past Whitney, I'd rather not reset... Beating Falkner with just Unown, and then Bugsy's scyther with Unown and Slowpoke is just... not happening again, XD

Perfectly fine with me.

dragon0fangz August 8th, 2010 1:19 PM

I decided to continue on my Ice UMC.
After Bugsy, I basically killed everybody around goldenrod, including whitney.
I also killed Morty with Faint Attack, and got Surf. Problem is, Friday is a long way off. Can I request permission to hack in a Lapras right at the place where it would be, same level, same stats?

NM, I just discovered i can change day of the week through gameshark.
Caught the Lapras at lv 20, called it LAPLACE. No more Solo Running, yay!

Giratina ♀ August 8th, 2010 2:08 PM

Short update is short.


So short, in fact, that I'm not even gonna put it in bullets. I got into the Rocket Hideout - that was the easy part. I fought Rivalman - that was the hard part. Magnemite's Magnet Pull made it so that weak-o himself, Skarmory, was stuck in battle with it, and it fainted. Things only went downhill from there. I scraped a victory with two of six Pokémon left, both with a sliver of HP and one paralyzed.

So... yeah.
