Here is the final update for my Ultimate Dragon Monotype! School starts for me tomorrow, and I'm going to be having a very busy year, so it will likely be a while until the next updates on my other ongoing challenges (most of which are near completion). I plan on slowly finishing Ghost the Fighting before finishing my current games for Electric and Flying. Once I get through all of those challenges (a total of 13 games) I plan on finishing my started monotypes, which are Electirc, Steel, and Flying, which only require 3 more games to be completed!

First i am quite frankly ashamed nobody else has done psychic yet (but hey that means i'm still the champ :P)

imma give this another shot Ultimate Style

Username: Pokemonfreek24
Type: after much debate i have decided on bug
Challenge: Ultimate
Game(s): Yelllow,Crystal,Emerald,Platinum,Black 2

Update: on S.S Anne the majority of the game so far has been Confusion Confusion Confusion Confusion
Brock was fairly easy as in G1 he has no rock moves (the numbskull) so Confusion 2HKO geodude and 3HKO onix butterfree ftw
Misty was a bit tougher due to lack of bug moves instead i had to use butterfree to put her starmie to sleep and chip away with confusion (yay for G1 sleep mechanics)

Current Team:
Fluttershy (Butterfree) LV 23 Confusion/Tackle/Harden/Sleep Powder
Shrooms (Paras) LV 19 Scratch/Stun Spore
Trixie (Venonat) LV 21 Confusion/Tackle/Disable/Supersonic

One all day marathon later
Yellow Complete!

Final Team
6cVPDjL.png


Fluttershy (Butterfree) LV 54 Bug/Flying Psychic/Mega Drain/Sleep Powder/Razor Wind
Shrooms (Parasect) LV 56 Bug/Grass Slash/Spore/Leech Life/Dig
Dickpinch (yes haydunn inspired) (Pinsir) LV 55 Bug Swords Dance/Submission/Slash/Strength
Sasuke (Scyther) LV57 Bug/Flying Swords Dance/Slash/Wing Attack/Double Team (true ninja)
Trixie (Venomoth) LV 54 Bug/Poison Psychic/Solarbeam/Sleep Powder/Toxic

Surge was fairly easy as he only has raichu in yellow venonat was able to get some nice parafusion and then bring in paras to chip away for game
Erika was cake since Grass = Weak to bug and Poison = Weak to bug (according to G1 mechanics)
Koga gave me a bit of trouble mainly because i was thinking WTF when the gym trainers were around the low-mid 30s (where i was) and then all of a sudden he busts out a team of 3 LV 44 Venonats and a LV 50 venomoth thankfully my own venomoth was able to combat it well enough
Sabrina wasnt too difficult with scyther see abra cant attack so +6 Slash later and her team was down
Blaine was the one i was concerned with and i had every right to be his arcanine decimated most of my team till i got lucky and he missed a fire blast allowing me to take a good chunk with Pinsir's strength then he stupidly went for take down or something and a second strength finished it
Giovanni wasnt too difficult thanks to having mega drain/sleep/psychic on butterfree (his team is dugtrio, rhydon, nidoking, nidoqueen, persian)

The E4 were a bit tougher i did some grinding just to be safe to around the low-mid 50s mark.
Lorelei wasnt too difficult i had a few grass moves at my disposal and her slowbro spammed amnesia so scyther set up on it and swept the rest
Bruno was fine Butterfree OHKOd the onixes (takin down Rock types wiht a 4x rock weakness all day son) and scyther took down the rest with SD/wing attack
Agatha was easy enough her first gengar had nothing to hurt scyther so a clean +6 sweep though wing attack wasnt doing nearly as much as i thought it should be doing
Lance was a bit tough and almost beat me but i came back with a nice toxic on dnite and double team scyther ninjadodging everything and slashing it to death
Green was honestly fine his ninetales gave me a bit of trouble but nothing i couldnt handle a sleep powder and about 6 psychics from venomoth later put it down for the count the sandslash was cake for butterfree the exeggutor got owned by parasect and the cloyster was beaten easily by venomoth he evolved into Jolteon for some reason (anyone know how his team is determined in yellow?) which i humiliated by doing the same shiz i did against lance (Toxic + double team) and dodged like 3 Thunders in a row

So there we go im a bit drained of pokemanz ATM i'll probably start crystal tomorrow (heads up i'm going to be suicidal and use ledian and ariados)

MVP: Butterfree just barely beats scyther due to it's usefullness especially with sleep powder and psychic (a trick venomoth couldnt do till late 40s)
LVP: Parasect was a pain in the ass to raise due to very few good moves and it's speed is abysmal it was being outsped by everything and their grandmothers it is the only G1 poke to get the ever so useful spore but again abysmal speed makes it very hard to use effectivley

Sorry, you aren't the only champ.

Lol, I have totally been slacking on my water Black 2 monotype, my last one! until X & Y come out. But I promise to get it done next month at the latest.

I am kinda surprised so few have finished Psychic though, I only got that done a couple months ago.

I finally have a working DS emulator for my phone now I will do an Ultimate flying type run.

Username:
Type: Atie
Challenge:Ultimate
Game(s):
Fire Red
Heart Gold
Emerald
Platinum
Black

I had a question can I add a little side challenge for myself?

I wanted to play every day another game like today Platinum and tomorrow Emerald
and the day after another etc.

I always wanted to do such thing do the rules support it? Otherwise I'll just stick with a non-chrono patern.

Last time I updated my platinum ultimate water monotype...

Badges:
2/8

Team:
Bibarel l21
Prinplup l22
Shellos l23
Tails l24 (Buizel)
Psyduck l21
Magikarp l7

I've been playing a lot lately, but haven't bothered to update.
I have 5 badges now. I thought the Ghost Gym was easy peasy. So was the fighting one, although that was a little harder. The water badge was the toughest of the three, but still not hard.
Been planting berries, training my pokés, exploring, digging, doing contests (this is acutally the first playthrough on Platinum xD)

My pokémon right now are:
Gyarados L28
Vaporeon L29
Gastrodon L33
Prinplup L32 (might ditch him, ugh, worst water starter ever)
Tails L28 (Floatzel)
Golduck L33 (might ditch him too for some other water poké with Psychic moves)

Badges: 5/8

FireRed Ground Mono Update:

I'm still grinding up my team. After looking over my team's movepool and what TM's I have, I went ahead and gave some of them some better sets so they're more versatile in battle. I've grinded quite a bit. Tried going up against the E4 a couple of times knowing I wouldn't completely get through them but I figured my Pokemon could use some better experience. I managed to get as far as Agatha and that's where I realized my movepool may need more work. I will continue to train up.

My team is looking much better!
Rain/Nidoqueen|Lv. 56
Suna/Sandshrew|Lv. 57
Mr. Nido/Nidoking|Lv. 59
Hokura/Dugtrio|Lv. 57
Alleine/Marowak|Lv. 56
Rocky/Rhydon|Lv. 57



I'm going to go ahead and get started on my Emerald run. I'm getting a bit bored and burnt out with grinding. I'm skipping over HeartGold for now since I'm already playing SoulSilver in my First-Badge Challenge at the moment and I don't want to get too overloaded with Johto-ness.

Picking Mudkip as my starter.

I'm doing a Bug monotype with a friend of mine, which is using Fire types.

Can I sign in? Or do I have to start all over again?
I don't really understand what you're asking.
I also have a question. If I use a hack of fire red that lets me catch all the 386 pokemon, can I use it and catch pokemon not available in fire red?
Hacks are allowed, and any Pokemon that you are able to catch within the confines of the hack are allowed.
I'd love to enter :3 Can I randomize fr so I can encounter more types I need in order to finish this?
Yes you can, but it would count as a hack.
I had a question can I add a little side challenge for myself?

I wanted to play every day another game like today Platinum and tomorrow Emerald
and the day after another etc.

I always wanted to do such thing do the rules support it? Otherwise I'll just stick with a non-chrono patern.
This doesn't break any rules. There is no restrictions on what order you play in.
