I started this before joining and am currently about to face Blue in Leafgreen, can I continue this save if I give evidence or do I have to start again?

Previously started adventures are usually accepted around here as long as they fit the rules as described in the OP. Wilhelm can correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the most open-minded Monotype thread in years, so it would surprise me.

Ultimate Bug challenge: X
Update 1:

- I started the game with Ninja boat the HM slave Froakie
- Once in Santalune Forest i caught World tour the Scatterbug
-- Also caught Piechart the Caterpie and Mr Spyky (Damn you, pik being a banned word!) the Weedle, but decided not to use them
- Grinded World tour until it evolved twice into Vivillon
- Beat Viola
- Made my way through story stuff
- Reached route 7, where i caught Booster the Nincada (Intending to use it to get a Shedinja) and Hypetrain the Venipede
- Continued on, Hypetrain evolved to Whirlipede
- Booster evolved to Ninjask, and gave me Corpse the Shedinja
- Decided to use Booster anyway because i have him now.
- Super-trained Corpse
- Decided not to use Corpse, because he always felt either cheap or useless, never good.
- Caught Hypecopter the Yanma
- Beat Grant on the 2. try (Damn you, paraflinching, mixed moveset, critting, Rock type guy!)
- Stopped for the day when a random trainers Hawlucha swept me twice in a row...

Wooo-hoo! Completed that Grass monotype on sapphire - it was one easy run up to Winona - Even May's combusken gave me no problems thanks to Ludicolo - But Winona.. Was a pain to defeat D: And ugh don't let me start on that stupid Metagross- I officially hate that thing right now >_> It took me at least 10 tries to defeat Steven because that thing was keep destroying my team D: But - With a lot of luck on my side I finally did it! I am so not looking forward to Wattson in my flying monotype though D:

I am so happy that this one is over though- I wasn't expecting it to take me that long D: Just because of all the extra grinding I had to do :(

Here is the final battle against Steven (Take #Idon'tknowhowmuch for the win!):



And here is the final team:

Ima try and do every type in Omega Ruby, and I will start that challenge off with ground. Will try and update every day.

While waiting for my Emerald save to get fixed (big shoutout to GreyBidoof even though he works through e-mail now), I finished up my Fire Monotype in Diamond.

I chose Diamond because not only am I doing an Ultimate Challenge up to Gen V, I wanted to see exactly what fans were complaining about with the lack of Fire types. And so, I could only use Infernape and Rapidash for the entirety of the game, so it wasn't terribly difficult up to the Champion.

Pictures here. (Excuse the quality!)

Sorry for not updating in the past few days, but here's one.

I have just arrived in Slateport, and am grinding with the trainers just outside of it

Team:

Level 18.
Tackle
Growl
Water Gun
Mud Shot

So far has been pretty great, lacking in level, though+


Level 13
Defense Curl
Magnitude
Rock Polish
Rollout

Hasnt made much contribution

Well I was working on a nice update but I accidentally closed the tab I was writing it in and can't get it to reload the page, idek. Anyway I have 2 badges in my Rock monotype now. I have Amaura, Tyrunt, Dwebble, and Aerodactyl w/ mega stone.

Daily Update #2 -

I am currently sitting around Slateport, trying to get geodude to evolve so I can have a golem for the fight with May, which will be an excruciatingly painful fight to endure, since grovyle and stuff

Team -

Level 23
-Tackle
-Growl
-Water Gun
-Mud Bomb

He wasn't that useful yesterday, and his special attack seems to be lacking. Will replace the two useful moves with waterfall and EQ later on to help that cause out.



Level 22

Working on evolving, not much else

I'm getting in on this!
