Oh yeh Necrum Warrior I don't have the save file for my Grass Monotype anymore so I can't really go on with that one so if you would so kindly remove it from my Challenge sheet and move met to Ultimate Challenger that would be great thanks :)

WarriorCat October 13th, 2013 2:56 PM

I have just gotten my 2nd badge on my Fairy Monotype on Y.

Team so far(pics taken from my phone):

I'm still playing at this very moment and I'll have another update within the next few days.

EDIT:
I'm sorry, but I have to drop out.
My file got corrupted and deleted itself(I don't know how btw), so I'll do it some other time, but for now, I'll work on my Ice and Normal UMCs.

SetheKing October 13th, 2013 5:06 PM

The point of me doing this besides the challenge is to learn the game, as I have NEVER played a full play through of any of the Hoenn games. This will also help me with future ultimate run, although I will consider turning this into an ultimate run. I think this will be a fun time and I will have to find my way through this byy myself(or maybe with some help XD). Anyway, I'll start this run now.

ShadowHawke October 14th, 2013 7:02 AM

Just got pokemon x and decided to do a monotype challenge. So I will do a dark monotype challenge

Username: ShadowHawke
Type: Dark
Challenge: Single
Game: Pokemon x

To make it a bit harder I will also follow a couple of optional rules.
Optional rule # 1 : when challenging gym leaders I will not use more pokemon than what the gym leader has. Ex. If the gym leader only has 2 pokemon then I may only use 2 pokemon as well.
Optional rule # 2: I can't use any pokemon against a gym leader that is more than 3 levels above the gym leader's highest leveled pokemon.

Necrum October 14th, 2013 12:38 PM

I have good news! I have gotten the first encounters list updated, and every single type in the game is obtainable before the 3rd gym. Even before the 2nd gym it seems! So, no Monotypes in X and Y are going to permit importing, trading, or hacking in Pokemon for you teams.


Fairy Monotype Challenge: Y

1/8

So I earned my first badge. I won't say too much as to avoid spoilers, but getting that first badge was kinda rough on me.
