Sadly, it seems my computer will not turn on. So, for the time being, I am incapable of really updating the first post. I will if I can figure something out on Wednesday, but for now you will all have to just be patient with me while I work on getting a new computer. Thank you.

Yes, you may change any single challenge to an ultimate at any time. It doesn't take much effort on my part to move you on the list. Yes emulators are allowed. Most challenges allow the use of emulators because a lot ofr people don't like to delete their save files. I personally prefer to use real game carts, but that's personal preference.

I got my Supercard yesterday, so I started Emerald, I'm heading to Route 102 with Torchic.

Also, after this, I want to do ultimate monotypes of the other basic types, Water and Grass, two of my favorite types.

Username: WarriorCat
Type: Water
Challenge: Ultimate
Game: Blue, Silver, Sapphire, Diamond, Black 2

Username: WarriorCat
Type: Grass
Challenge: Ultimate
Game: Red, Gold, Ruby, Pearl, White 2

I'll be doing a lot of monotypes in the future, so you'll see me a lot.

I personally think Hoenn is the shortest region, I always finish Hoenn games within a couple of hours.
My levels are kind of high because I only used 2 Pokemon, that's probably a reason I finished so fast.

I screencapped(yes, supercard can do that) my team, now I have to find where they are, I'll put them up when I find them.

I found them.

I'll do my Water mono next, I'll do them in this order: Diamond, Blue, Silver, Black 2, Sapphire. :P

Hey guys, sorry for the inactivity, but between school, karate, Boy Scouts, and the new White 2, I've had my hands full. Plus, I can't find my LeafGreen game or my DS Lite to play it. So, for now, I'm stuck. I think I'll start a new challenge while I search. The next challenge on my list, if you recall, was Electric, so I should do that one next. It's kinda shocking! (Bad pun!) Anyway, I'll play a LeafGreen emulator (my Poison challenge was on the LeafGreen cartridge (I may as well just start over on the emulator) so....). I'll be back with an update on both. Bye!

Guess it's finally time for an update on my Unova section of Elec-Mono:

Ultimate Elec-Mono Challenge:White2

- Started file, named myself Nate and my rival Hugh

- Chose Oshawott for an extra challenge against Hugh

- Made my way to Floccesy Ranch and caught a Mareep

- Did the usual events and headed back to Aspertia Gym
- Managed to beat Cheren with just a Mareep and obtained the
30px-Basic_Badge.png
Basic Badge

- Headed to Virbank City and entered the Virbank Complex

- Caught a Male Elekid named "Livewire" and a Magnemite named "Magnet Man", then I decided to bench Mareep because I just used one in my first run of Black 2 back in October

- Entered the Virbank Gym and easily beat Roxie thanks to Magnemite thus netting me the
30px-Toxic_Badge.png
Toxic Badge

- Did the Pokestar event then took the ship to Castelia City

- Did the Sewer event then caught a Male Eevee named "Jagged"

- Trained a bit then entered Castelia Gym

- Had a rough time with Burgh but once again Magnemite saved the day giving me the
30px-Insect_Badge.png
Insect Badge

- Fought Colress and made my way to Nimbasa City

- Found a Thunderstone and evolved Eevee into Jolteon

- Caught a Female Emolga and nicknamed it "Emonga" because I hate Emolga and didn't feel like giving it a nickname, I just wanted one because it was part Flying


Right now I'm just training up a bit and then it's off to beat Elesa, which I hope is easier done then said...

Finally! After a long, difficult battle against Red (that mainly consisted me of getting beaten to a pulp), I've finally defeated him! Or, rather, he suicided against me. If Charizard hadn't Flare Blitz everything to death, he would have won. Mehhh. Normal monotype: complete!
