Yay, training for my new team members is done, almost. Overall, in terms of stats and moves, my team is average. One thing I want to point out is, if you catch a Vulpix, prepare for a long training session, because Vulpix is in the slow exp. group. It seemed to take forever to train Pixxy from Lvl.15 to Lvl.20. Although it did take a little training, Pixxy defeated all train on Route 11(route east of Vermillion, in case any of you are wondering.). As soon as Pixxy reached Lvl.25(level of FlameNFame), then IN trained the both of them against remaining trainers left. Wow, I spent a solid 3 hours just training the both of them. When I grinded the both of them to usable levels, I went to battle Erika. I went and bought 2 fire stones, one for Pixxy, the other for FlameNFame, which I immediatly evolved into Flareon. Oh, I forgot to mention I obtained Fly, which I taught to spearow(HM slave). That is how I easily trained up at route 11. Anyway, Celadon gym wasn't hard, just plain annoying. Why, if I have fire types? Because in gen 1, wrap actually wouldn't allow you to attack for up to 5 turns. The grass types also exploited status moves, so they'd poison my pokemon and then use wrap on the following turn. Before facing Erika, I bought 3 super potions(stupid wrap/bind), antidotes(poisonpowder), paralyze heals(didn't know if Erika's pokemon knew stun spore), and awakings(sleeppowder). Overall, the battle was mostly Erika's pokemon using status moves/wrap/bind, and vileplume actually tried using Petal Dance. What an idiot. Anyway, FlameNFame swept the gym, even though it didn't learn ember until defeating Victrebel. Using only 1 super potion(wrap can be so annoying) and 2 antidotes, FlameNFame make some fried celery out of Erika. :) 4 badges down, 4 to go. That is where I saved and decided to type this. Oh, and another thing I didn't mention is that IS won't evolve Pixxy until it learns flamethrower and fire spin, which is like Lvl.43 or something like that. How am I doing in my fire monotype? Current party is: Slendy the Charizard(needs a new nickname) Lvl.40 with: Scratch, Mega Punch, Ember, and Slash; Pixxy the Vulpix Lvl.31 with: Ember, Confuse Ray, Dig, and Quick Attack; and FlameNFame the Flareon Lvl.31 with: Tackle, Sand-Attack(I'll be very glad to get rid of you), Quick Attack, and Ember. As always, any moveset suggestions are welcome, and before I finish this, I want to ask NecrumWarrior a question: When I beat Blue/Gary(rival's name) while he'w champion, am I allowed to extend my run to update a battle against Mewtwo? Been thinking about it while doing this run and decided to ask. Thanks to anyone who has been following this run, because I am pleased with my progress, and thanks to anyone who has helped with moveset suggestions, and thanks to NecrumWarrior for having this thread up, and good luck to anyone else attempting this challenge, and later, I'll have update #6. Forgot to say this was update #5, and I am capable of beating this game right now, but I am trying to enjoying myself as much as I can with this challenge. See you guys(and girls) later. :)

Also can someone tell me what's the difference between single and ultimate
The difference: A single is where you go through one game with a type and ultimate is where you play a game for all five regions. Example: I'm doing a ultimate fire monotype playing the games Blue(kanto), Crystal(johto), Emerald(Hoenn), Platinum(sinnoh), and Black 2(Unova). You can ask the more experienced people here because Iny joined yesterday, but hopefully I cleared things up for you. Good luck. :)
