Hacking is not allowed for Fighting type runs, as you can get them early enough. In Yellow, Mankey is found on Route 22, and in Red & Blue, you can catch a Machop before challenging the third gym.

I then went to Slateport City and watched Team Magma escape. I then went back to Lilycove once again and went into the Magma hideout were I beat the admin. I then went east to Mosdeep City where I got Dive from Steven and beat the gym. I am still at Mosdeep City.

In the lead up to my getting of Pokemon Black, I'm going to replay Pokemon Emerald using a Dark-styled team. Keep you updated on how things are going once I get started.

Status so far: Started Emerald. Got Mudkip. Caught Poochyena. Trained Poochyena to Level 18, where it has evolved into a Mightyena. Currently searching for a godd*** Seedot!

Update 2: Caught a Seedot in Route 102 after two hours of searching. My Mightyena is currently at Lv 20, and my Nuzleaf is currently at Lv 15. Gonna raise Nuzleaf to Lv 20 as well, and then I'm off to fight Roxanne.

Update 3: Nuzleaf (nicknamed Gary Oak) obliterated Roxanne's team. Now in Dewford Cave leveling my team up. Caught a Sableye to help me deal with Brawly. Gonna level Julia (my Sableye) up last.

Update 4: Sableye, Mightyena, and Nuzleaf are all Lv 25. Fought in Brawly's Gym. Let me tell you: Fighting-type gym with Sableye = Easy sweep.

Hey, sign me up for the Ultimate Ground-type Challenge. I'll start using Fire Red, since I don't have my original games available to me at the present moment. ):

sorry for the constant lack of posts. school and sports been on my back. Honors classes.. blah. I haven't decided if black or white is a worthy purchase or not, so there is a chance of me dropping out completely. And i don't really feel like buying a fourth gen game anytime soon.. I'm hoping to get an update on my steel by next week maybe. so i'll be taking a break(not like i haven't been already..) until i find some spare time and willingness to play.
Till then!

From Mosdeep City I went Underwater to the Magma Hideout where I defeated Team Magma for the last time. I then traveled to Sootopolis City where I got rid of Groudon and beat the last gym leader, Wallace. I am currently in Sootopolis City about to go to Victory Road.

Update One: to Mt. Moon

So, I finally was able to start my journey. I chose a Bulbsaur who turned out to be female, named her Bella, and proceeded to thrash my rival. From there, I journeyed north to Viridian, running away from the wild battles, and entered the Pokemart. Some guy in there gave me a package for the Professor, so I went back and handed it to him. I got my Pokedex and was told that I would never be able to complete is because Gary is just that much of a jerk. (:

After battling a bunch of Spearow and Rattata on the route just west of Viridian, I realized that I wouldn't be able to get the first Pokemon I wanted until route 3. Unhappy as I was, I trained Bulbasaur a little and resolved to make it through Viridian Forest battling as few of the trainers as possible, so that my little Nidoran could have some nice experience waiting for him/her when I finally got him/her. I only had a little extra grinding to do so that Bella would learn Vine Whip and then proceed to thrash Brock quite neatly.

OH FINALLY I GET RUNNING SHOES. About time. Now, that I'm on route 3, I can catch my Nidoran...but first, let's run into 4986574 Jigglypuffs and Spearows. Eventually, I found a level six male Nidoran and added my first team member. I then went for a quick trip into Mt. Moon to catch a Geodude that I'm not sure I really want to keep. At least Nido will have backup. I nicknamed the Geodude 'Geo' after one of my cousins; I plan on fixing Nidoran's name to Nido once I reach Lavendar Town.

I then backtracked for all the battles I'd missed, even the little rival battle to the west of Viridian. Nido is doing quite well and makes quick work of the bugs of Viridian Forest with his Peck attack. Geo...is okay. I'm not a big fan of Geodudes, so I'll just keep him around until I can get to Diglet's cave, I think.

At last glance, I saved my game while grinding Nido just a little bit more so that I'll feel safe for Mt. Moon. Oh, and I'm going to spend a little time to see if I can catch the ever elusive female Nidoran. (:

Poison Monotype Challenge!

Chapter 1: Pallet Town - Viridian City - Pewter City.

Well, I finally got to start my Leaf Green game. Made myself a girl named Ivy. My rival is named Arsehat (I had a regression there, sorry :B).
Chose Charmander as a starter, since it will be a perfect HM slave, and named him Mr.Fiery; did your standard Oak's Parcel stuff. Got the Pokaydux and a Town Map.

Remembering I wouldn't be able to catch either Nidoran until AFTER Brock's Gym, I mentally prepared myself for a real challenge. Beating Brock using just a Beedrill.
Went into Viridian Forest, caught a Weedle, named him 'Sting'. Deposited Mr.Fiery, and started grinding him for the upcoming battle...

Okay, according to Serebii I chose the right version for a normal type run, woo! So here's the next update in my Pokemon White Normal Monotype. (AKA part 5 of my ultimate normal monotype)

Gen V spoilers ahead!

Update Two: Welcome to Cerulean

After spending several minutes looking for a Nidoran of some kind, I found another male. I caught him, spent a few more minutes searching for the female, and gave up. At least I've got a male to trade for a female later on. Nido has finally evolved and likes thrashing things around because he's so powerful. I have a new-found respect for the male Nidoran family.

After wandering around Mt. Moon a little (and finding a Moon Stone to use in a couple more levels!), I exited the mountain and headed east to Cerulean. There, the Gym was waiting for me. Unfortunately, Nido isn't quite ready, so I trained him up a bit more, which included using my Moon Stone on him once he reached level 22. Now, he's actually ground type! Yaay! I went and beat up the Nugget bridge just to make sure I'd be ready and then proceeded to thrash Misty around (quite literally).

After that narrow victory, I was hoping I could head south a little bit to pick up my female Nidoran. Alas, the police man at that one house in Cerulean won't let me through yet. So, I went up to Bill's, avoiding as many trainers as possible, and got my SS Ticket. The police man was then kind enough to let me pass; I pounded the Rocket thief and went to the Underground entrance to pick up my Nidoran. Her nickname is MS. NIDO.
...could have done a little better, kid.

With my new team member in tow, I returned to the route heading to Bill's to defeat the trainers I'd left behind and get MS. NIDO some experience. I'm training there now as we speak.
