hello i noticed challenges are popular nowadays so i decided to start one!!

my rules for the monotype challenge are easy to follow!

1. NO CHEAT CODES!!
2. Must update as often as possible
3. emulators accepted but only the standerd emerald game not emerald 386 for instance
4. you can run more than one challenge at a time if you have a rom or additional copies of emerald
5. up to 5 person per type
6. must give me a vauge idea of which pokemon youll catch
7. you are allowed to use your starter even if it isn't your type, BUT once you catch three of your type you can not use your starter unless it is hm slave or your type!
8. HM slaves allowed of course
9. you can have up to 2 of the same pokemon on your team
10. challenge goes to elite four and beating steven



people in it
1. yuki3056 - grass types
2. MoonlightKnight - psychic types
3. aaronburnsyou - flying types
4. Schala_25 - dark types

Um, I'm already entered in another Emerald Monotype Run, but if I entered in this one too, would I have to use a completely different Emerald file, or could I just use the same one for both challenges? (It might be a bit unfair to use the same file, because I already beat the E4 there, but it's your decision)

Yo Ill do fighting-types as a change if the pokemon can evolve into the chosen type, if they cant and you have to catch them as the selected type, Ill do fire-types.

to best student you can evolve into the type like if you take fighting torchic os allowed since combusken/blazeiken are fighting types

update:

named dude yuki and chose treecko (duh) beat rival got pokedex helped wally and now in petalburg woods lookin for a shroomish!

team:
treecko lvl 9


P.S. adding new rule you can have one pokemon not of your type on your team for fighting i thought of this because like grass types will have hard time on certain people so i decided to add this but only one in team at a time!
Grass types are a miniority

I'd like to join too but i saw that you were just getting 5 but if i can i would like water-types.

im gonna go ahead and assume to rule out legendaries so my team if im allowed will be mudkip as a starter and i will see where that takes me or i might choose fire im not sure
