So my emulator freaked out, and isn't allowing me to load screens in HeartGold or Soulsilver, so I'll be replacing HeartGold in my ultimate playthrough with regular Gold. Just figured I'd give a heads up, so that can be corrected for my sign up sheet

Hello every challenger here :D

It's been ages since i beat Sinnoh in my ultimates of Bug and Water, but i've finaly gotten my hands on a 5th gen game i can freely play challenges on ^_^ I have proceeded to continue with Bug on White 2!

UMC Bug, Unova: Update 1

I started the last part of my bug-type journey...
- With my stater Surfboard
501.png
the Oshawott
- After some introductions, i caught Beleafe
540.png
the lv. 3 Sewaddle
- Once he
540.png
learned Bug Bite the first gym was a piece of cake
- I got to the further part of route 20 to catch a Venipede
- After it nearly wiped me out i finally caugt Stampede
543.png
the lv. 10 Venipede
- I did some Audino training to get Stampede
543.png
ready, and then challenged the 2nd gym
- Koffing was first weakened by Beleafe
540.png
, and then went down to Stampede's
543.png
3rd Rollout, resulting in the next turn Whirlipede being OHKO'ed by the 4th ^^
- In lv. 20 Beleafe evolved
540.png
->
541.png
, and then emideately again from happiness in lv. 22
541.png
->
542.png

- Stampede also evolved
543.png
->
544.png


I saved just inside the Castelia Sewers

Team:

Beleafe, the lv. 22 Leavanny
542.png

Razor Leaf, Bug Bite, Tackle, String Shot
"Early Bug Bite was a gods gift to my early game and getting Stampede trained up"

Stampede, the lv. 22 Whirlipede
544.png

Poison Tail, Bug Bite, Venoshock, Rollout
"Still has to be of much use, outside of rolling over bugs and birds"

It was a toss up between restarting my normal monotype or doing a new one. Decided on the latter because there are so many water types in kanto I still wish I one day use on a team.

@Thebeast21799, Good Luck. :)

Ground Update 6: Black

I have my final Black update, after this all I need to do is finish Platinum.
I stopped taking pics after every boss because I kept forgetting. :P

Spoiler:

Also, I can't decide what type to do next after I finish Platinum, I don't know if I should start a new one like Fighting, or re-try Electric. What do you guys think?

@WarriorCat Thx for the support. :) As for what type you should do next, it'd be cool to see someone post an electric type monotype, because out of the first three pages I've read on this thread, there were barely any signs of any electric types, so that'd be pretty interesting.As for my challenge, I might start tomorrow on Blue. And to anyone still doing this challenge, good luck to all. This seems like a fun, but frustrating challenge. ;)

Okay, I'll re-try electric then. :)


I finished up Platinum, I've been playing for about 2 hours. :)
The gym battle against Candice was the toughest battle in all of my Ground Monotype. :(
Her Abomasnow started the Hail, then I OHKO'd it, then Froslass, with it's fast speed, was spamming Blizzard (100% accuracy from Hail), I managed to win with Whiscash at 4 HP, which finally OHKO'd it with a Critical Hit Surf.

Here is my sign-up for another go at Electric. This time, I'll be able to take pics of all games, I'll try to remember to do it. :P

Also, Necrum, I saw rule 10, so does that mean I can trade in Electabuzz in Yellow and Mareep in Crystal, as Electabuzz is only available in Red and Mareep in GSHGSS?

Alright, then, I have my very first update, and I'm happy to say that I made a lot of progress.:) Here is what happened so far in my fire monotype: I went through the usual beginning crap we all know and love :p (How cool of you to let me venture on my own, mommy.), I pick Charmander as my starter (Self-explanitory) and nicknamed it Slendy, and at this point, I realised that I didn't withdraw my potion (facepalm), but that's okay because we whooped rival ass anyway ( Because of his stupidity in that he only used tail whip the whole time.), then IN withdrew the potion, and did the rest of the intro errands. As soon as those were done and the pokedex was my, I grinded Slendy to level 10, and it was time to beat Gary again. Gary, like he always does, comes out of nowhere and had the same idea in mind. Pefect how the most annoying part about this battle was Sand-Attack. T_T Anyway, Slendy and Ikicked his ass a second time, like he expects to always win. Going through Viridian Forest was the easiest thing yet(duh!), and the moment I arrived in Pewter City, I healed Slendy and went to go kick Brock's ass for his gym badge. Of course I was at a disaventage, but Geodude's and Onix's special are low, so it didn't take that long to beat him. Basically, Slendy embered as much as possible. Geodude went down in 4 embers, and I got 3 critical hits on Onix, so Onix didn't take much longer to take down, luckily. With Brock at my mercy, he handed me my first gym badge. 1 down, 7 to go. Good news, not too long later, on route 3, Slendy evolved. Yay :). Slendy wrecked Route 3 and left a trail of flames behind. As far as Mt Moon is concerned, I have travelled into Mt. Moon, and hopefully, by tonight or tomorrow, I can reach Cerulean City. Current party is: Slendy the Charmeleon Lvl.22 with: Scratch, Growl, Ember, and Leer. The other Pokemon I am going to get are: Vulpix, Flareon, and Ponyta. I know what moveset I'm planning for Rapidash only, and I'm thinking about: Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Agility, and Double Team. Until next time, good luck to anyone playing this challenge as well, and see tonight or tomorrow. :)

Update #5

It's been a while since I last posted here but I've made some progress.

I got the Pokeflute and caught Snora the Snorlax.
I then went to Fushia City, did the safari zone stuff, gave the old man the gold teeth.
Then I challenged the gym.

Update #2 is quite tragic... let's get to it. I got through the rest of Mt. Moon, where I saved in front of the child moles... erm, I mean the hiker that sits in front of the ladder to go down to the bottom floor, and cremed everyone there. Exiting Mt. Moon and arriving at Cerulean, I heal up at the PokeCenter and decide to capture my first two hm slaves: Rattata and Spearow. Afterwards, Slendy goes on a rampage at the Nugget Bridge and defeats everyone. When Nugget Bridge was nothing but smetherens, I pay Misty. Oh, btw, I beat Gary in one attempt, of course. Gary seriously needs to train up more. Upon asking to battle Misty, I was prepared to win or lose, one or the other. Unfortunatly, Starmie is freakin overpowered and whooped Slendy's ass. She stripped me of over 11,000 Pokeyen, or whatever. Seriously, Nintendo, give me Super Potions already! I guess that's what happens when you fight a Lvl.21 Starmie with a Lvl. 27 Charmeleon. I guess it's time to grind Slendy up a few levels... any suggestions on movesets are welcome, and hopefully the next battle with Misty won't be as bad. I really feel like right now this isn't a monotype. :p Anyway, I'm off to train Slendy to Lvl.30, and current party is: Slendy the Charmeleon Lvl.27 with: Scratch, Mega Punch, Ember, and Rage(which is what I'm filled with, but then again it is a challenge). See you tonight with a new update. Until then, good luck to everyone else doing this challenge. :)

Update #2 ¨[...] I guess it's time to grind Slendy up a few levels... any suggestions on movesets are welcome...

I'd suggest just skipping her for now and going to S.S. Anne to train, since you can move on as soon as you have visited Bill. While there, remember to get the Body Slam TM for a future team member.
