    • Ultimate Fighting Monotype Challenge: Black White Version
    7/8

    So I continued from where I left off, after I finally received my Save Dongle, and traveled through the Chargestone Cave and then remembered that I have to go to Celestial Tower before fighting Skyla. Skyla herself was pretty hard, considering that her Swanna is freaking insane. Then came Twist Mountain, which I hate and am so glad to be past it. Brycen was a cake walk. Now I'm in Dragonspiral Tower hunting Team Plasma.

    There's my new sign up. I'll probably be playing Sapphire first. Because challenge. Champion Steven would like to battle!

    The only team size requirement is that it must have at least 2. If you want to switch out along the way it's not a big deal.



    You can't use it in battle, but releasing is unnecessary. Just box it, unless you want to release it.

    Thanks again... I'll get started on FireRed right away. It's not like having more than 6 Pokemon will matter though, as in FireRed I can only catch 5 Bug Types. (Butterfree, Beedrill, Parasect, Venomoth, and Syther)

    Here's a few updates on some random monotypes I've been working on that I've already started (Flying and Steel to be exact). I'll keep the updates short, mainly because I did these a few weeks ago and honestly don't remember enough of the details to have huge updates. Also, I'd like to get started on another monotype on Y, but I want to transfer over my Dragon team first.. So I'll either have to wait until Bank comes out or until I fell the motivation to ask someone in the trade corner to help me out.

    Flying
    Diamond - I've worked my way through the first five gyms, and I've caught all of my team. I do remember struggling with Roark (I had to spam Double Team and wait to get lucky enough to finally win), but other than that it's been smooth sailing!
    Team:

    Staraptor / lv35 / Close Combat, Double Team, Quick Attack, Aerial Ace
    426.png
    Drifblim / lv35 / Gust, Fly, Payback, Ominous Wind
    414.png
    Mothim / lv35 / Gust, Psybeam, Hidden Power (Rock), Confusion
    198.png
    Murkrow / lv35 / Wing Attack, Night Shade, Assurance, Faint Attack

    Black 2 - An even less exciting update here, as I haven't really had any issues up to where I am now. So far, I've made it through the first four gyms, and right now I'm in Route 6 working on training my freshly caught Ducklett before taking on Clay in the Driftveil Gym.
    Team:
    521.png
    Unfezant / lv33 / Air Slash, Roost, Air Cutter, Return
    561.png
    Sigilyph / lv33 / Psywave, Tailwind, Air Cutter, Psybeam

    would like to withdraw this challenge, due to lack of time to finish it, not be able to play at least 3 weeks, and knowing that the challenge ultimate will add the kalos region later this month, I not be able to meet the requirements to finish, thank you very much.

    Oh, also I have a question. When the new thread appears next month, do all of us current challengers have to start over, or do we just get shifted over?

    • Second Sapphire update. This time span was so annoying. Training a Zubat that only knows Supersonic and Leech Life isn't an easy task.

    I'm back--in Black! (insert guitar solo here)
    Blaze Black Update:
    I was successful in defeating Clay and getting my 5th badge, however it did take 4 attempts and a long grind to level 50 to all of my pokemon to even stand a chance and then I ended with only 1 pokemon left (gengar) who survived the attack that 1 shot everyone else and happened to knock out the last 3 of his pokemon.
    I am progressing slowly but surely, now that I'm done with kalos until I add it to my challenge after my wife beats it I will work on cracking out some more of my poison challenge.

    6th Update, Rock Challenge on Platinum:
    -made it to Celestic Town, training Rhyhorn along the way
    -showed Cyrus that 11 year olds are the most dangerous things to plans of world domination
    -got the HM for Surf
    -beat the few trainers to the west of Celestic Town
    -explored the rest of Wayward Cave when I realized that it doesn't require Strength
    -caught a Finneon to surf on
    -explored some new places that are only Surf accessible
    -evolved Graveler into Golem
    -made my way to Canalave City
    -visited Iron Island, got the HM for Strength, did some training with Riley, and beat a pair of Galactic goons
    -Took on the Steel gym, which wasn't hard (except for that one guy's Scizor). Just spam Earthquake.
    -was instructed to go to Lake Valor, since Team Galactic felt the best way to drain the water out was via a bomb

    My classmates playing PokeMMO made me feel like playing some pokemon again. So Im starting 2 challenges:

    - The Unova part of my Ultimate Water Challenge i started when i joined 2.5 years ago. White 2
    - An electric Kanto, continuing my list of Kanto monotypes with the hardest of them all. Fire Red

    Here is my first update for electric:

    - Started the game as "Blitz" with my rival "Slowpo"
    - Picked, as per my personal rule, the water starter when no starter was going on my team. Named it "Surfboard"
    - Went ahead and caught a Pikachu, naming it "Emile"
    - Grinded a TON for Brock, and it still came down to struggle and 8 potions -_____-
    NH4WUwT.png


    - Trudged through Mt Moon as fast as my not very effective Quick Attacks could. Being horribly overleveled helped.
    - Thunderbolted Misty
    - Did stuff, got Cut
    - After getting Magnitude OHKO'ed twice, i made it to route 10 where i caught "Tim" the Voltorb (Anyone who watches them should see where the names are coming from now :P)

    Team:

    Emile, lv 37 Pikachu
    pikachu.png

    Thunderbolt, Dig, Mega Punch
    "Soloing with Pikachu was incredibly simple, albeit slow at times. But it all changed when the Magnitude Geodudes attacked."

    Tim, lv 18 Voltorb

    Sonicboom
    "Just got him, he doesn't even have an electric attack yet. Might teach him Shock Wave soon."

    • Water monotype - Sapphire
    Finally, another too-long monotype done! This one I actually started probably 2 years ago and I had completely forgotten about it until last summer at some point. Anyhow, I finally defeated the champion after losing 3 of my team to his stupid Cradily.

    Final team:

    Blaze Black update:
    I got the jet badge and was equally levelled with the gym leader. The three on three battle was enough to get my pokemon knocked out twice but the third time I was able to organize a strat that did more damage to more pokemon per round, namely icy wind and air cutter. I only have 2 badges to go and at a full team of 56's I hope the end game elite 4 and ending champ aren't all level 100.

    I'm going to take a short break from normal pokemon and work on my delta species challenge. I'll be back sooner than my last break.

    7th Update, Rock Challenge on Platinum:
    -as per Rowan's request, I went to Lake Valor to see what happened. Wrecked some Galactic grunts and Saturn
    -Flew on down to Lake Verity to save Lucas and Rowan's asses from Team Galactic, beating Mars again.
    -headed off to Snowpoint City, going through Mt.Coronet and the freezing cold on the way (cold in real life, cold in the game, god I hate the cold)
    -got the HM for Rock Climb
    -Rhyhorn evolved into Rhydon, taught it Surf and Hammer Arm
    -bumped into my rival, who informed me of what I already knew: I'd need to beat the Snowpoint gym to use Rock Climb so I could get to Lake Acuity
    -Challenged the Snowpoint Gym. The regular gym trainers were easy. Lotta them had pokes slower than Rhydon (you know you're slow when Rock types outspeed you), who swatted them aside with Hammer Arms and Rock Blasts. Candice proved to be a better opponent. I lost to her the first time (which I guess is what happens when 3 of your 5 Rock pokes are also part Ground). Her Abomasnow and Piloswine, of all things, gave me the most trouble. Beat her in round 2 since I was more aware of what she could do. And items help too, of course. The match ended up being Probopass vs Froslass. Fortunately, Probes's high Sp.Defense (so glad it has a Sassy nature) and typing made it take little damage from her attacks, but I had to use Shock Wave becauese of hail+Snow Cloak+Double Team. Several Super Potions and many Shock Waves later, I had the Icicle Badge in my frozen, digital little fingers.
    -Scaled the cliff and enter Lake Acuity just in time to see my rival get beaten by Jupiter
    -got the hell outta the freezing cold of northern Sinnoh and went to a few places that are Rock Climb accessible
    -went to Veilstone to deal with Team Galactic, but decided to first go gamble at the Game Corner (taking down a criminal organization can wait, right?). Wasn't doing well until I got a lucky streak. Unfortunately, 842 Coins isn't enough to buy any of the Game Corner's prizes...
