-Went to vermillion city
CURRENTLY - waiting outside of SS Anne (may need to level up some)

TEAM
Charmeleon, lv. 23 - ember, dig, scratch, leer
Butterfree, lv. 23 - confusion, stun spore, sleep powder, poisonpowder
Gyarados, lv. 23 - bite, water gun, tackle, bubblebeam

Next off another rival battle and possibly surge, I may just leave him for later

Caught one at level 32... rare candy - it evolved
Flew down to Pastoria... taught it Ancientpower
Rare candy - it evolved
Awesome... level 34 Mamoswine

Currently Training it in Snowpoint gym... my party is the same as the above post except for the newly acquired mamoswine

Goddammit, Raoto, you beat me. I've been way too busy these days, I haven't had the time to play. Anyway, congratulations, guess I'm gonna have to accept a second place, haha.

Haha. I've been busy as well but I found a few days to push all the way from the beginning to the end in about a days worth of time. I also didn't update at all because I wanted to finish as fast as I could.

The main reason was because I thought you had already finished so I just wanted it to be a close 2nd place. =o

Pthbbbt! I thumb my nose at the legendary Suicune.

Caught Laplace in a Pokeball after throwing an Ultra Ball and a Great Ball and a Lure Ball.

Damn Magnemite...
Got lucky the second time
Hey, wait, Seaking learns Waterfall by level...
Bought more Poke balls than I'll ever be able to use
Got a Goldeen
HEh, with this crew, I don't need to worry about catching any more HM Slaves!
Okay, maybe one more HM slave (Fly)

Well, I'm actually still struggling against the Elite Four - Or, well, I haven't played for a couple of days by now, since I've been so damn busy arranging a concert with my band, getting instruments from A to B and arranging a camping trip with a few of my friends. But I have some time tomorrow, where I'm hoping to finally beat the elite four, and finish this challenge.

Ok I'll do water types from Yellow I decided... Crap how am I going to beat Brock?

Maybe Blue then...

After going through safari zone 6 times searching for a scyther, I think its time for another update
-beat ???, the rest of the SS Anne, and Surge in vermillion, got flash and cut

-crushed erika and the rockets, went back to lavender
-beat ??? again, rescued mr. fuji
-cleared the rockets out of saffron and beat the fighting dojo
-took the cycling path to fuschia and caught scyther
CURRENTLY - in fuschia, trying to decide what to do with scyther before I go train him

TEAM:
Charizard, lv. 41 - ember, dig, slash, leer
Butterfree, lv. 43 - psybeam, stun spore, sleep powder, poisonpowder
Gyarados, lv. 41 - surf, bite, hydro pump, thunderbolt (eventually will learn ice beam I think)
Scyther, lv. 29 - quick attack, leer, slash, double team

Also... I'm going to assume that trading over to other games to teach moves is okay since I don't see anything about that in the rules... though I will remove any TMs or move tutor moves if that is in fact not allowed

Click to expand...

Actually, it is mentioned in the rules. The part about only trading for evolution purposes. :\

So I started this challenge earlier this year but stopped midway because I couldn't find the time to play it. Now that I have time, can I get back in? I lost the file I was playing before so I thought I'd just start over but switch to the flying type, if that's ok

Click to expand...

Yep, that's fine. Welcome back! ^_^

I spent a whole day training and finally decided to take on the Elite 4. It was so easy. I went through it with almost 1 hit on every single Pokemon. Aaron was pretty much destroyed. Bertha was quite a challenge with her ground type Pokemon. I had to use about 3 full restores. Flint was owned easily. Lucian was also a bit of a challenge but most of her Pokemon had low defense so Momo's Flamethrower took them out quite quickly. Cynthia was probably the 2nd easiest out of all of them.

Final Team:

Momo, Infernape, Lv.92
>Flamethrower
>Brick Break
>Thunder Punch
>Earthquake

I have beaten the Ultimate Monotype Challenge using the Type: Fire. Yay!

And now we have a fourth person who has completed the challenge. Congrats, Raoto! :D

Water Types in Yellow... You do know that you can use your starter to train a certain worthless fish, right?

And Mankey makes a good Strength Slave.

But you cannot catch any Water-Types in Yellow version prior to Brock. The first available is the Magikarp just before Mt. Moon.

But someone else has brought this up, and I said he could use a Mankey against Brock instead, replacing it with the Magikarp once he gets to it. ^^

Or you could just start with Blue and go with Squirtle. Tis easier, in my opinion. xD

I guess I'll take Flying and start in Yellow.

Yes, Charizard is fine for a Flying-Type team, just as Butterfree is. =D
