Here's a quick update on my Platinum Ground Run! I had left off right after beating Gardenia...

- Cleared the Eterna Warehouse and got the Bicycle.
- Caught Gligar on Route 206, and after a bit of exploring, realized that the secret entrance to Wayward Cave wasn't blocked with boulders, so I went and caught Gible too.
- Headed to Hearthome City.
- Before battling Fantina, evolved Gible into Gabite.
- GYM BATTLE! I've played through Platinum a few times, and Fantina tends to be a pain because of Mismagius. This time wasn't too bad. Shellos took care of Duskull, and then the Mismagius came out. Gligar started things off with a couple of Faint Attacks, and Grotle finished things off with a couple of Bites. Some luck was evident here, as Grotle had a Quick Claw attached. Finally, Gabite and Dragon Rage took care of Haunter.
- Beat my Rival, Barry, on the way out of Hearthome.
- Cleared Route 209 and reached Solaceon Town.
- Skipped as much as I could on 210 and 215 (and the Lost Tower). Went onto 214 and caught Rhyhorn, and found a Razor Fang.
- Went back through and covered what I had missed. Evolved Shellos into Gastrodon, and Gligar into Gliscor in preparation for the gym battle.
- GYM BATTLE! Maylene wasn't too horribly difficult. Gliscor and Night Slash took care of Meditite, and Machoke went down to some Dragon Rages and Slashes from Gabite. Lucario was dispatched of with Gastrodon's Mud Bombs.

And then Dawn was waiting outside of the gym, telling me that her Pokedex has been stolen by Team Galactic! To be continued...

Current Team:
Rhyhorn Lv. 27
Grotle Lv. 28
Gabite Lv. 29
Gastrodon Lv. 30
Gliscor Lv. 31

Sapphire Water Mono-Type Challenge Update #4: Finished

After grinding easily defeated Wally, 1HKOing most of his Pokémon

Did more grinding in preparation of the Elite Four

Got all of my Pokémon to level 55, except Bob, who I got to level 57

Defeated Sidney easily because my Pokémon were overleveled for him and I could use type advantages to 1HKO most of his team

Phoebe was a slight problem because I couldn't use type effective moves, but I was able to succeed with no issues

Had minor problems because Glacia's Walrein kept being healed

Drake was no problem whatsoever. Mark the Tentacruel Ice Beamed everything

Defeated Steven with little problems, my only Pokémon to faint was because of a lucky crit

Final Team

Good luck to everyone else doing this challenge, have fun!

Im sad to se that old, several hundred pages thread that was created right when i first signed up here gone now, but its probably for the best ;/

I will use this opportunity to sort out my old challenges, so I'll update with everything Ive already done here :)

BTW, i will be doing most 5. Gen challenges on White 2, but its not yet listed as an option in the OP

Edit:
Just for the record: I have finished the Kanto part of Ground, Fire, Normal and Ghost. I dont currently have plans to continue these until im in the right mood, so just list them as completed Kanto challenges.

Im also up to Unova in both Bug and Water, but those are currently postponed until B2W2 are released because i dont want to lose all my event pokemon :I

As for my current challenges, I have:

Username: Jespoke
Single or Ultimate: Single
Game(s): Soul Silver
Monotype: Poison

Team: Currently a Zubat, an Ekans, a Bellsprout
Prior progress: Im currently standing in front of Bugsy after a loss

UMC Water LeafGreen #1

Oh hey, surprise! I'm doing a Water UMC, too. Here's my first update for LeafGreen

UMC Water LeafGreen Update #1


Name: Lake
Rival: Clay
Starter: Brooke the Squitle

-Reset until I got a female Squitle, then proceeded with the rest of the starting nonsense
-Got to Pewter City where Brooke unquestionably destroyed Brock (Forgot to take a screen of this)
-Brooke reached Lv.16 and evolved into Wartortle on the first trainer on route 3
-Caught a Spearow east of Cerulean for later use
-Got to Cerulean at around Lv.24 and took out Misty without any major issue
-Started skipping as many trainers as I could after Nugget Bridge because I'm getting a bit overleveled
-Got to the SS Anne, got the TM for Brick Break and the HM for Cut, then left without doing anything else on it
-Traded the Spearow I caught earlier for a Farfetch'd in Vermillion for HM purposes
-Took on Lt. Surge at Lv.31 with Dig and Attract, making it no issue at all
-Despite my best efforts to skip as much as I could, Brooke reached Lv.36 and evolved into Blastoise in the Celadon Game Corner
-Got the Silph Scope, saved the Pokemon Tower, got the Poke Flute, took out a Snorlax, and grabbed the Super Rod
-Backtracked to Route 6, fished in the water there, and finally caught the second member of the team, Davos the Poliwhirl! Taught him Water Pulse.
-Bought a Water Stone at the Dept. Store to evolve Davos into a Poliwrath
-Went down the Cycling Road to get to Fuchsia, and did the whole Safari Zone thing.
-Took out Koga with relative ease, seeing as how Brooke was Lv.43 already even though Muk was annoying as hell
-Now that we could use Surf outside of battle, we caught Horace the Slowpoke in the Safari Zone, and Greyjoy the Tentacool on the route south of Fuchsia for the team
-Got Greyjoy up to Lv.29 on a bunch of trainers I skipped and then took on Erika, who was really annoying with no super effective moves against her. Greyjoy got to Lv.30 during the fight, evolving into Tentacruel afterwards. Also taught him Giga Drain
-Went to Saffron and got the TM for Psychic and taught it to Horace
-Went through most of Silph Co., stopping right before Clay to train more
-Finished up the trainers on Cycling Road, where Horace reached Lv.37 and evolved into Slowbro!
-Got Greyjoy up to Lv. 40 before going back and taking on Clay at Silph Co. Right after the fight we received the final member of the team, Lionel the Lapras! Taught him Surf and Shock Wave
-Had the money to buy the TM for Flamethrower from the Game Corner to teach to Horace (I don't get it either)
