My very first run in Y will be a Fairy Monotype, so sign me up. :)
Also, as for my Ice and Normal UMCs, I will (finally)continue those after my Fairy Y run.

Update for Final Ultimate Monotype Challenge - Water!

Update #4 on Black 2.

  • Well, it's been a while since my last update, but I am attempting to at least defeat Iris once by the 12th ;).
  • Started in Lentimas Town, and quickly made my way through Reversal Mountain to Undella Town.
  • Went surfing off the shore of Undella Town for Ruby the Staryu, my final team member.
  • Fought trainers I skipped earlier to help train Ruby up, and eventually defeated Tyson.

  • After a couple more trainers, I decided to use my Water Stone to evolve Ruby into Starmie!

    ultwaterstarmie.png


  • Bought Thunder and Blizzard in Lacunosa Town, then took on Zinzolin alongside Tyson.

    ultwaterzinzolin1.png


  • Eventually reached Opelucid City, and went vitamin hunting at Shopping Mall Nine.
  • After defeating the rest of the trainers around the city, I was iching for some real competition!
  • Drayden ended up being soloed by Torrent's Blizzard attack though, haha.

    ultwaterdrayden.png


  • Team Plasma attacked after we exited the gym, and I took care of Zinzolin again, solo this time.

    ultwaterzinzolin2.png


  • The shadow Triad stole the DNA Splicer (sneaky bastards!) so I went chasing after them, all the way to Himalau City.
  • After some more training, we took on Marlon, who wasn't too hard to handle.

    ultwatermarlon.png


  • Went to Route 32 and got the Colress Machine, and while I was in the area, I found a shiny Amoonguss!

    ultwatershinyamoonguss.png


  • Caught it and moved on to Team Plasma's ship, where I defeated Zinzolin once more, with Tyson's help (not that I needed it...).

  • The ship flew away to the Giant Chasm, where I am now saved.

I have updated the rules to reflect certain changes with Pokemon X and Y. Glad to see that I'm not the only one playing a monotype right off the bat.

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

Team so far(pics taken from my phone):
Spoiler:

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.

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.

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.

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.
