Well, I ended up starting my Ground challenge on Fire Red so I can get double kick early, and I couldn't get a Yellow version ROM. I beat Brock with Bulbasaur because Nidoran is only available after. I'm in Mt. Moon, and I just caught a Geodude.

Team:
Nido/Nidoran M Lv.12
Leer
Peck
Focus Energy
Double Kick
Rocky/Geodude Lv.7
Tackle
Defense Curl
Mud Sport
Rock Tomb
HM Slave/Bulbasaur Lv.18
No need for moveset

Ulp...

Yeah, after G/S/C, this run will go into hiatus. Why? Because I need to finish the Browndex. However, OrbOAwsmns, Magneeto, and Lanturn will all go to Brown to aid Charizard, Mew, and Hitmonlee at winning, so the run will have a use. Also, 2 legendary dogs and one bird will go, and so will a Whooper and a Murkrow, and maybe one or two others, and then I'm getting rid of the ROM to make space for a Red ROM, which I will use for the Fossils and for 1 bird and Mewtwo.

So, yeah. Expect aan update this weekend, and hopefully, I will finish.

Samme!

Hasn't been awhile since I updated soo....
-Beat the 2nd Gym
-Beat the 3rd Gym
-Went through Rock Tunnel

and

I beat the whole Celadon and Lavender Town fun stuff and caught A Cubone so to complete my team before full out training for the 5th Gym I bipassed many trainers and manuvered my ninja self down the cycling road down to Fuchsia City. I immeadiately went to the Safari Zone and captured A Nidorina and a Rhyhorn. Unsure if I was going to use Ryhorn, I went back and tried to catch a Kanghaskan as it was a Ground type in Red. I ran in to a few but to no avail, didn't catch one :( . So here is my team as of right now....

King/Nidoking lv.43
-Moveset not available at this time

Igneous/Graveler lv.41
-Moveset not available at this time

Queen/Nidoqueen lv.33
-Moveset not available at this time

Deana/Ryhorn lv.30 [I have a feeling I will ditch this guy and catch a Kanghaskan]
-Moveset not available at this time

Rambo/Cubone lv.24 -.-
-Moveset not available at this time

So now I will go back and catch a Kanghaskan and train my new additions to my party till the levels are pretty much equaled out. Wish me luck!

Completed Fire red.
I did it a while ago but went on Holdiday since and this is one of the few times I'llbe online.
I'll post my team and reviews.
Oh, and I'll start Gold when I get back.
Team;

Maniac/Graveler Lv.58

-Magnitude
-Rollout
-Rock Slide
-Mega punch.

Review:Not too great, Rollout was powerful but pretty much any water or grass pokemon would destroy him.

Marlo/Marowak Lv.55

-Bone club.
-Fire Blast.
-Blizzard
-False Swipe.

Review: Essential, I doubt I would of beaten the E4 without him, I guarentee that with some training he could take the E4 on his own.

Mannifesto/Nidoking Lv.61

-Flamethrower.
-Shock Wave.
-Water Pulse.
-Double Kick

Review: Best pokemon on team, probably cause he stayed alive most so got the most Exp. but both him and queen and great for variety.

Deception/Nidoqueen Lv.49

-Ice Beam.
-Surf.
-Brick Break.
-Aerial Ace.

Review: Potential to be as good as Nidoking but slacked on the Levels when I didn't use him on gyms much.

Squadz/Dugtrio Lv.45

-Sludge ball.
-Slash.
-Sunny Day.
-Rock Smash.

Review: Worst Pokemon on team, the only reason he didn't slack so much was because I used Sunny Day then switched to Kangaskhan and showered Solar Beams.

Sleuf/Kangaskhan Lv.52

-Earthquake
-Solar beam.
-Thunder.
-Shadow Ball.

Review:A massive powerhouse to my team, not as strong as Nido's because they have the advantage with poison point which is awesome, but he was still brilliant and took out Pokemon with 10 levels on him with one hit.
Kangaskhan is Normal-type, not Ground-type. Always has been.
As you can see, .hack used a Kangaskhan for his ground monotype challenge and he was added to the next region so I see no reason that I can't also use one...

Then you're both wrong. Sure, you can go ahead and use one if you really want, but surely the entire point of a monotype challenge is the challenge of going through the game using just one type. To use an old cliche, you'll only be cheating yourself.

I agree with Charmageddon. If you use a normal type on a ground type team, you instantly cheat the challange, because he doesn't have ANY of the normal ground weaknesses. If you're going to use a pokemon that is immune to or is neutral to the weaknesses, then it should be you're type (I.E. Lanturn 3rd gen onwards is immune to Electric, and Ludicolo is neutral to grass, but they both are Waters.) If you use a pokemon that resists, say, Ground on a Fire run, then you know it isn't the right type, as a pokemon with a Fire type must either be weak to, be neutral to, or be immune to ground. Exceptions include Horsea on a dragon run before it is fully evolved, but if you're pokemon needs to evolve to gain a type, then it needs evolved IMMIDIATLY.

I've had very little time to play...But here is a bit of an update...

I caught a Spearow, but I will most likely not be using it.

I'm going through Rock Tunnel now. A Hiker's Geodude knocked out Muffin, so I'll have to get through with just Ytar.

Party:


Ytar (Raticate) Level 28

-Thunderbolt
-Hyper Fang
-Tail Whip
-Quick Attack.


Muffin (Clefairy) Level 28

-Bubble Beam
-Double Slap
-Pound
-Sing

______________________

The best thing about Normal types is all of the TMs they have. (Bubble Beam, Thunderbolt, ect.) Using all of them, I can easily counter most types. I JUST NEED MORE!

Ookay... I'm gonna do a side challenge involving Grass- Type. Count me in...? Again?

I have finally defeated the Elite Four! It was tough, but I managed it. I challenged Lorelei with four underlevelled Pokemon and was so utterly trounced that I knew more training was in order. I got Aerodactyl and Omastar to lvl. 55, Rhydon to 52, and caught an Onix for backup.

Lorelei is a complete and utter bitca. Omastar proved key in defeating her, she spammed Surf and Full Restores on her Dewgong, but it eventually went down to Ancientpowers. Cloyster was equally annoying, but she was stupid enough to use Dive, and double-power Surf defeated it. Her Lapras actually took down Omastar, but Aerodactyl was speedy enough to get two Aerial Aces in and defeat her. My quick-clawed Graveler exploded in her Slowbro's face, and Aerodactyl took down Jynx (Extremely difficultly considering her Attract/Lovely kiss tactics).

Bruno was simply a non-challenge, Surfs and Aerial Aces from Omastar and Aerodactyl took him down no trouble. Agatha was simply annoying, her ghosts spammed Hypnosis, I just used the Pokeflute and waited until they missed before hitting her back. Rhydon beat Arbok with a couple of Earthquakes and Golbat with Rock Blast easily enough. Lance was slightly more difficult. Graveler's Rock Slide simply kept missing, and I was eventually forced to resort again to Explosion. Omastar beat his Aerodactyl, and my Aerodactyl beat his Dragonairs. Dragonite went down to a single Ice Beam, and I moved on to the Champion.

Fugi (as I named him) was surprisingly easy. OK, his Gyrados wasn't, getting lucky on Hyrdo Pump and using several Full Restores, but Ancientpower eventually earned me a stat boost and he went down. Toxic + Rock Blast was a winning combination for Rhydon against both Charizard and Pidgeot. Omastar wiped the floor with Rhydon and Alakazam, and Aerodactyl took down Exeggutor. I am the champion!

Final team:


Graveler/Filler
lvl. 56
Rock Head
- Brick Break
- Explosion
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide

Invaluable at the start of the game, being my only pokemon until Fuschia, but was surpassed in power by the fossils later on. Explosion got me out of a couple of tight spots.


Aerodactyl/Mfanwy
lvl. 57
Pressure
- Aerial Ace
- Dragon Claw
- Hyper Beam
- Flamethrower

Probably the best pokemon on my team, mainly because of its excellent speed. It also helped me against problematic Fighting and Grass types.


Omastar/Ollie
lvl. 56
Swift Swim
- Surf
- Ancientpower
- Ice Beam
- Sandstorm

Very useful in being the only one not utterly raped by water-types. Ice Beam and Surf is a deadly combination on any Pokemon, and his high Special Attack made them all the better.


Rhydon/Duggan
lvl. 53
Lightningrod
- Earthquake
- Rock Blast
- Toxic
- Take Down

Wasn't used an awful lot, but was very reliable when called upon. Took down Fugi's Charizard in one hit, which I was quite impressed with.


Onix/Freud
lvl. 48
Rock Head
- Sandstorm
- Dragonbreath
- Iron Tail
- Slam

Not trained at all, his main function was to die horribly while I healed my other pokemon. Had a brief outing losing to Lance's Dragonair, but that's about it.
