when you say in the regional pokedex do you mean you have to use the pokemon only found in that region or can you use the pokemon that are found in the national dex lets say im playing LG with 386 pokemon can i use a hoenn pokemon or can i hack/trade those pokemon in.

That rule means that in the specific instances where you can trade or hack, it has to be pokemon that can be found in that game before the end of the challenge.
In Leafgreen you can only use the original 146 non-legendary Pokemon.

Regional dex is something like Kanto Pokedex, Meaning in Leafgreen that you can only use the Pokemon catchable in the Kanto region. Also, you're only allowed to hack ONE Pokemon in if no Pokemon of your type are available before the 3rd gym, but it has to fit into the Kanto dex for LeafGreen. For a reference on what games can have a hack in it, please look at the First Encounters list.

Righto. After kicking Gardenia's ass, I went to rescue the cycling shop man. Got the bicycle and dashed off to the bicycle path, hurried through it and went under it to catch myself a Gligar. Caught myself a Careful one and figured that'd be good enough. Either way, a Ground-type is an incredibly welcome addition to the team! I quickly found the secret entrance to Wayward Cave and found the TM for Earthquake, giving Gligar its powerful STAB move. Murkrow's attitude has been showing some severe improvement, let's just hope he keeps it up after leveling above 30.

Fantina was easy. Murkrow sweeped her entire team with Assurance. She did remind me, though, that I absolutely need a Drifblim on my team. Gonna have to wait until Friday, though. Eh.

Anyway, here's my team so far:

FireRed Mono Water update #2
So I made my way through Route 5 & 6 to get to Vermillion city and when I got there i pondered on what i was going to do with my weakness to Surge, so I then realized i have the TM for dig in my TM case, then I taught it to my Wartortle, after that I went to the S.S Anne and battled every single trainer for exp. Yes i'm serious I battled every one of them. After I did that I battled some trainers on Route 11, and finally my Magikarp evolved! No more useless stats and Splash attack! Yay, Then I went to the gym and I did the annoying trash puzzle! Seriously where does Gamefreak come up with this stuff!
Vs. Lt. Surge Difficulty 0.5/5
Step 1: Spam dig with Wartortle.
Step 2: Avoid attacks.
Step 3:???
Step 4: Win!

This is a bit of a stretch, but seeing as how Fairy is confirmed for Gen VI, would doing a Fairy mono be allowed? Offhand I know Gen III has Marill, Jigglypuff, and Gardevoir that are getting Fairy type..
When X and Y are released, of course Fairy type will be added. I myself am considering doing a Monotype as my first challenge for X and Y.

Crystal Update, Ultimate Flying Challenge.

Now that my team was only missing one member it was time to make some moves.
- Got the medecine and gave it to Amphy
- Beat Jasmine thanks to Jet and his Surf
- Took down Chuck with a combination of Hoot, Bruce, and Bounce
- Arrived in Mahogany Town, and investigated the Lake or Rage
- Took down Red Gyarados
- Stormed the Rocket Hideout
- Defeated Price thanks to Sleep Powder/Leech Seed/Tackle from Jumpluff, and Surfs from Jet
- Headed through Ice Path and Arrived in Blackthorn
- Instantly went South and caught my final team member, McFly the Gligar
- Backtracked to Goldenrod and cleared the Radio Tower, Underground Path, and Radio Tower again
- Found and Captured Suicune (Boxed)
- Grinded a bit before Claire
- Was able to beat Claire after Kingdra was KOed by the ever reliable Sleep Powder/Leech Seed/Tackle combo
- Grinded everyone up to Level 40
- Headed to Victory Road
- Beat ASS
- Stocked up on Items and took on the Elite 4

Will: Was relatively easy, Bruce took down both Xatus with Bite (FLINCH HAX) and Exeggutor with Fly, McFly got Jynx with Iron Tail, and Hoot took out Slowbro with Hypnosis and Fly

Koga: Very easy. Ariados and Venomoth were victims to Bruce's Fly, Crobat was taken down by Jet with Icy Wind who also took down Fortress with Surf. Muk was taken down by Bounce and Sleep/Leech/Tackle

Bruno: Easiest Battle. Hoot got all the Hitmons with Hypnosis and Fly, Bruce took out Machamp with Fly, and Jet Surfed the Onix

Karen: Umbreon was annoying. But it eventually went down to Sleep/Leech/Tackle. Jet took care of Murkrow and Houndoom with Icy Wind and Surf respectively. Vileplume and Gengar went down to Fly from Hoot and his Immunity to Ghost Attacks

Lance: Gyarados went down to Sleep/Leech/Tackle but the rest were taken care of by Jet and a few Full Restores. Icy Wind took care of the 3 effing Dragonites and Surf did in Aerodactyl and Charizard

OFF TO KANTO AND ANOTHER 8 BADGES ON THE SS AQUA

This challenge looks awesome and I can't wait to try it on my bro's Pokemon Black. Thinking of keeping it poison type and starting off with a Koffing. Challenging idea?

Update #3 for Bug UMC on Emerald

  • For once, I'm actually deciding to buckle down and make some actual progress this time around. Anyway, headed to Slateport, taking down every trainer in the way.
  • Ran off Team Aqua from Slateport
  • Went and owned May on Route 110
  • Caught Omlette the Illumise
  • Owned Wally
  • Beat all of Mauville's gym trainers, then went to go train my team up to Lv. 25 except Popple since I just about replaced him with Omlette.
  • Got owned by Wattson twice, so I had to go and do some more training...and take advantage of Popple.
  • Trained Queen Bean, Buttermilk, and Omlette up to Lv. 27, and only brought Popple up to Lv. 25 just so I could take advantage of using Shedinja, but soon figured it was pretty useless with the moves it had at the start. Cue more training to bring Shedinja to Lv. 25 just so it could at least do more than 1 HP per use of Cut to Magneton.
  • Finally beat Wattson on my 3rd try. Took long enough, and the battle was pretty unfair on my part nearly the entire time. Just my luck.
  • Made my way to Fallarbor Town, bringing the pain on every trainer in my way.
  • Reached Meteor Falls.
  • Returned to Rustboro City, all the while considering whether I should use Popple or not.
  • Went to Mt. Chimney to own all the Team Magma Grunts
  • Took down Maxie
  • Beat Flannery in Lavaridge Town's gym
  • Returned to Petalburg City and beat Norman
  • Saved on Route 121

Team Bugsy

HM Slaves

Zigzagoon - Rock Smash, Surf, Strength
Swablu - Fly when I get it​

While I'm at it, may as well update Normal UMC since I recently started that.

  • Started the game
  • Chose Oshawott as my starter to use as a future slave
  • Beat Josh, my rival in Aspertia City
  • Went and caught Lenora the Patrat on Route 19 once I had access to Poke Balls
  • Went and caught Sadman the Azurill at Floccesy Ranch. I only intend to use Azurill as a challenge within the challenge because I know it has awful stats, and I plan to get an Everstone for it from my Black 2 so it won't evolve to maintain it's Normal type
  • Went and beat Josh again at Floccesy Ranch
  • Went and found the lost Herdier
  • Retured to Floccesy Town to deal with the stuff with Alder
  • Went back to Aspertia to take on the gym
  • Decided to go and train Lenora up to Lv. 12 before tackling Cheren
  • Beat Cheren pretty easily, mostly with the power of spamming Charm and Tail Whip with Sadman to help Lenora take down his Lillipup in one shot with Bite.
  • Got a free TM and the C-Gear from Bianca
  • Traded Sadman over to my Black 2 for about five minutes to go and give it an Everstone
  • Started heading for Virbank City
  • Reached Virbank City and saw the whole thing between Roxie and her dad
  • Went and caught Floter the Pidove in the Virbank Complex
  • Saved in Virbank Complex, mostly because it's intense training time.

Team Ruby

We quickly left Hearthome City for the next Gym, as Murkrow's attitude was beginning to become a problem again. Just outside Solaceon town, Staravia evolved into a beautifully strong Staraptor - and she learned Close Combat! At some point we finally arrived in Veilstone, where we quickly took on the Gym Leader. Staraptor easily sweeped the entire gym, including its leader. With Murkrow back on board, we moved on to Pastoria, picking up a Razor Fang on the road. Tonight is the night, Gligar!

In Pastoria, the gym proved easy enough. Staraptor was able to plow her way through, more or less by simple, brute force. Tonight we're gonna do a bit of training and pick up a Dusk Stone somewhere. Still, Drifblim is a more than a day away, and by then, it'll have to be put through some serious grinding to catch up. We'll manage, though!

FLYING ULTIMATE MONOTYPE UPDATE
CRYSTAL VERSION COMPLETE

- Hopped on the SS Aqua and arrived in Vermillion.
- Took down Surge with McFly the Gligar
- Next took out Sabrina with X the Xatu
- Headed to Celadon and took out Erika with Hoot the Noctowl and Bruce the Crobat
- Hopped on the cycling road and Beat Janine with X
- Took the path to Lavender town
- Flew back to Saffron and went north to Cerulean
- Headed to the Power Plant
- Back to Cerulean and got the Machine Part
- Headed to the Cape and met and then defeated Misty with Bounce the Jumpluff
- Back to Vermillion to wake up and KO Snorlax
- Arrived in Pewter via Diglett Cave
- Beat brock with Jet the Mantine
- Headed south through Viridian to Pallet Town and talked to Oak
- Surfed to Cinnabar and met Blue
- Surfed to Seafoam and beat Blaine with Jet
- Flew back to Viridian to earn my final badge and beat Blue as a collective unit
- Went and saw Oak then headed to Mt. Silver
- Grinded everyone to level 50
- Explored Mt. Silver and arrived at Red

Red was not as hard as I originally thought. McFly was able to pretty much wall Pikachu outside of Quick Attack and eventually wore him down with Slash after a few heals by Red. Next was Blastoise who got outsped and Sleep Powdered then Leech Seeded by Bounce. Then Giga Drain FTW. Charizard was up next and Hoot survived a Flamethrower and hit Charizard with a Hypnosis. Then I switched to Jet and Surfed Charizard to death. After that was Espeon who I managed to get two Night Shades off against with X before succumbing to Psychics. Hoot was able to finish off the job with Hypnosis and Fly. Then out comes Snorlax. F*** Snorlax. I had to stall out Snorlax's Body Slams with Revives and after that I Leech Seeded him and was able to finally (after like 6 Rests) whittle his Defense and HP down with Iron Tails from McFly. After that was Venusaur who Bruce came out and hit with 3 Flys to defeat Red and complete the Johto leg of my Flying Ultimate Monotype!!! Up next is Ruby Version!!
