Nice update. I'm slowing down on mine so I don't finish too quickly. D; Lol.

I'll post an update soon, though. Probably not tonight, but soon nonetheless.

I have a little update, but too small of one to really make a full one. I'll update this later with more I've done. Anyway, here's a small update:

---------- Update ----------


----------------------

- Fixed up my HM slaves and rearranged my party (namely ditching my final Pick Up slave).
- Met Steven outside of Fortree City, spoke with him, and obtained the Devon Scope.
- Did a little bit of training outside Fortree.
- Challenged the Fortree City Gym, having no problems, even with Altaria (shocker, I know); I scored a victory over Winona and claimed the Feather Badge.
- Stocked up on a few things and left out for Lilycove City.
- Fought my way through routes 120 and 121.
- Made it to Lilycove, hunkering down in the pokecenter.

Currently: Doing a bit of last minute training for May, even though I know I don't need it.

[[Will post team when I make the full update sometime tomorrow]]

EDIT: Slightly updated.

Im currently training on the route east of Fortree.I will do a real update when i beat winnona or get Herracross oh and look at what I made on MS Paint :D

Spoiler:
Cool. 8D I'm training there, too, on my way to Lilycove, as you know.

Hoping I'll have two Aggrons before Tate&Liza.

EDIT: Edited my post above this one a little bit more. Still nothing worthy of reposting my team. Hopefully, I'll have Tate & Liza done tomorrow.

Just Obtained the Dynamo Badge! :D
Now, from where I left off:
  • I got the PokéNav after talking to the Devon Corp. President, who gave me a letter to deliver to his son Steven
  • I got the HM Cut, and caught a Zigzagoon as an HM/Pickup Slave
  • Went back down to Route 104 and got Mr. Briney to give me a ride to Dewford Town
  • I beat the two trainer in the whole island, and made my way across Granite Cave without Flash (since you don't even need it)
  • Gave the letter to Steven and obtained the TM Steel Wing! (that I won't use)
  • Not satified with my Pokémons' low levels, I headed to Slateport City, beating every trainer available before the rival battle
  • I concentrated on making Cono (my Seedot), reach level 21 to learn Synthesis
  • Went back to Dewford, and beat Brawly thanks to Zina mostly
  • Went back to Slateport and decided to change Zina's nickname to Cana
  • Then I caught a female Oddish and called her Cali
  • I trained Cali until she knew Sleep Powder and headed to the rival battle
  • Combusken was a ***** to beat, but I finally downed him through stalling with a combination of PoisonPowder, Leech Seed, and Cono's Synthesis
  • The rest up to Mauville was easy, I beat Wally with Cana
  • Beat every trainer to the east, south, and west (not north) of Mauville City
  • Then I headed into the gym after evolving Cana and Cali, and beat all of the Gym trainers rather easily with them
  • My battle with Wattson went like this:
    Spoiler:
    • VS Wattson
      - Cana vs Voltorb
      oVoltorb used Spark, took about 1/4 of Cana’s life
      oCana used Headbutt, left Voltorb on red
      oWattson used a Super Potion
      oCana used Headbutt again for same result
      oVoltorb Selfdestructed, leaving Cana with about 1/3 health
      - Cali vs Electrike
      oElectrike used Howl, increased Attack
      oCali used Sleep Powder, sending Electrike to sleep
      - Cana vs Electrike
      oCana used Leech Seed
      oElectrike woke up and Howled again
      oElectrike used Quick Attack, and took half of the life Cana had
      oCana used Mega Drain, and with Leech Seed recovered the lost health
      oCana used Mega Drain again to end the match with about a little more than ½ health left
      - Cana vs Magneton
      oCana used Mach Punch, and took about ¾ of Magneton’s health
      oMagneton paralyzed her with Thunder Wave
      oCana used… Parahax!!! T_T
      oMagneton used Sonicboom and left Cana with 18 HP
      oI’m stupid and tried to use Mach Punch again, but got Parahaxed!!! ToT
      - Cono vs Magneton
      oMagneton used Sonicboom
      oCono used Bide
      oMagneton used Shockwave twice and left Cono with 7HP left,
      oCono RAPED by unleashing energy
      - Cali vs Manectric
      oManectric used Quick Attack… (weak)
      oCali used PoisonPowder :D!
      oManectric used Howl (???)
      oCali used Absorb (since Absorb is weak, I need to switch though)
      - Wana vs Manectric
      oManectric used two strong Quick Attacks in a row and left me with 14HP
      oWana Absorbed energy and went up to 19HP
      oManectric’s Sitrus Berry restored health
      oI gave a Super Potion to Wana to go full health
      oManectric used Quick Attack twice again and left me with 13HP
      oWana used Absorb and went to 18HP
      oI used a Soda Pop on Wana
      oWattson used a Super Potion on Manectric
      oManectric used Quick Attack
      oWana used Quick Attack
      oManectric used Quick Attack
      oWana used Quick Attack… and got Paralyzed -_-
      oGave a Soda Pop to Cono
      oManectric killed Wana with Quick Attack
      - Cono vs Manectric
      oManectric used Shockwave
      oCono used Nature Power --> Swift
      oAnd the Poison finally killed that damn thing (yay for stalling :D)
  • Then I went to Verdanturf Town, and used Rock Smash on the rocks in Rusturf Tunnel, and obtained HM04 Strength, as well as the BlackGlasses that I gave to Cono.

Currently, the plan is to head north to Fallarbor Town and continue on the storyline

Hey hey, nice update. ;3 Glad to know you're still in with it. Looking forward to the next one, I really like the way you update (I know that sounded odd, but I mean with using the banner like I do (you're welcome, by the way, assuming you found it the way I think you did) and green text and in-depth coverage of big battles, which I read and enjoyed). Keep at it. :3

Anyway, I'm off to play some myself. ^_^

ha ha, it's good that you liked it. :P

I'm really not-too-happy with the way the battle looks since it seems kinda confusing after reading it right now, but it's because i typed it out in word first, and then copied-and-pasted. so rest assured that next battle against flannery won't be as hard to follow. :D

and about the banner, if you think i searched through 15 pages of the GBA thread in order to find it in one of the many, many monotype challenges there are because i got jealous of you...
you're ABSOLUTELY correct! xD

last time, i had barely finished the storyline up until Verdanturf Town, so this time:
  • i beat the trainers on Route 111, as well as the Winstrate Family (this was easier than before so I guess I'm doing something good
  • went up to Fallarbor Town and to Meteor Falls, not sparing a single opponent (i'm a training maniac, and i hate battling wild pokes, or going out of my way for something :D)
  • figured out that there's something going on over at Mt. Chimney
  • stopped Team Magma from accomplishing their evil plans by beating the snot out of Maxie
  • reached Lavaridge Town were I was prepared to face my greatest threat yet... Flannery
  • beat all of the Gym trainers easily using only Cana (who at this point was my strongest)
  • and finally went up against Flannery in a battle that went like this:
  • Spoiler:
    VS Flannery

    Cali vs Numel
    Cali used Sleep Powder
    Cana vs Numel
    Cana used two Mach Punches
    Numel fainted! :)

    Cali vs Torkoal
    Cali used Sleep Powder
    Cana used Mach Punch and Headbutt
    Flannery used Hyper Potion
    Cana used Mach Punch and Headbutt again
    Camerupt woke up (oh ****!)
    Camerupt flinched (yay!)
    Cana used Mach Punch
    Camerupt fainted! :)

    Cali vs Slugma
    Cali used Sleep Powder

    Cana vs Slugma
    Slugma woke up and used Overheat (****!)
    Cana fainted! :(

    Cali vs Slugma
    Cali used Sleep Powder
    Cali used Acid twice
    Flannery used Hyper Potion
    Cali used Acid twice again
    Slugma fainted! :D

    Cali vs Torkoal
    Cali used Sleep Powder… again xD
    Cali used Acid
    Torkoal woke up and used Overheat (****, not again! Dx)
    Cali fainted! :(

    Cono vs Torkoal
    Cono used Torment
    Torkoal used Overheat (****!)
    Cono fainted! :(

    Wana vs Torkoal
    Wana used Screech (attack missed… how the **** do you accomplish that!?)
    Torkoal used Sunny Day
    Wana used Absorb (I freaked out :()
    Torkoal used Overheat
    Wana fainted! x(

    Zigzagoon vs Torkoal

    Cali used Acid
    Torkoal used Body Slam
    I used another Soda Pop
    Torkoal used Overheat
    Cali used Acid
    Torkoal used Body Slam
    Cali used Acid
    Torkoal fainted! :D
  • after beating Flannery, I headed back to Petalburg where my epic encounter against my dad would take place
  • although I forgot record my battle against Norman, it went something like this:
  • Spoiler:
    Norman used Spinda first whereas I led with Cana
    Spinda frustrated me with Teeter Dance confusion,
    in the end I switched out for Cali who poisoned the thing,
    then I just abused Synthesis from Cono and Nature Power for the kill
    Norman the took out the big guns, Slaking (tum, tum, tum)
    Switched in Cana, and went with Leech Seed first
    Then I just Mach Punched whenever I knew Slaking wouldn’t pay attention, and used Leech Seed to avoid the Counters
    After this, Norman sent out Vigoroth (who was by far a greater threat), and due to stupidity on my part killed both Cali, Cana, and Cono
    Wana was the one to put an end to the madness, and he destroyed Norman’s last Pokémon, Linoone.
  • and thus, i obtained both the Heat Badge and the Balance Badge
Badges Obtained:

This is pretty good advice, even if it doesn't prove to be the most useful move for Winona. It'll help a lot against Drake in the E4. :3

you get the key from the room where the scientist is, and the locked door is on the floor below that room. inside that room, there's the fabled TM 13 containing ice beam.

the water stone on the other hand, i'm not so sure.
^ This is true.

I can't update tonight, but I'll play a lot tomorrow for sure.

i haven't updated for a while, but i'm not sure anything important happened. i JUST beat the pokemon league, so that's important i guess. my team was reasonably underleveled, and i ended up using 19 revives and 20 hyper potions...and i only bought 20 of each. it was close.

Final Team:
DumbBeach lvl 53 @ Mystic Water

Shock Wave
Ice Beam
Stockpile
Surf

Swallows lvl 47

Aerial Ace
Steel Wing
Double Team
Quick Attack

Skittles lvl 47 @ Sea Incense

Silver Wind
Bubblebeam
Toxic
Stun Spore

Fun! lvl 50

Aerial Ace
Tri Attack
Uproar
Drill Peck

and they all have pokerus which would've been more helpful earlier, but it's cool, they still got the job done.
There's an outbreak of me in Alberta. Sorry.

i haven't updated for a while, but i'm not sure anything important happened. i JUST beat the pokemon league, so that's important i guess. my team was reasonably underleveled, and i ended up using 19 revives and 20 hyper potions...and i only bought 20 of each. it was close.

Final Team:
DumbBeach lvl 53 @ Mystic Water

Shock Wave
Ice Beam
Stockpile
Surf

Swallows lvl 47

Aerial Ace
Steel Wing
Double Team
Quick Attack

Skittles lvl 47 @ Sea Incense

Silver Wind
Bubblebeam
Toxic
Stun Spore

Fun! lvl 50

Aerial Ace
Tri Attack
Uproar
Drill Peck

and they all have pokerus which would've been more helpful earlier, but it's cool, they still got the job done.
... So, you're done? Good job, Syphilis. :3 Congratulations.

Oh, and Drunk, good luck. 8D I'll be getting close to, if not completely, finishing my run today. Look forward to it. ;D

oh yeah, i'm VERY done with that challenge. it wasn't as awesome as i thought it'd be. i think i'll do another one with psychic :D
Lol, that was the type I was going to use after Steel and Poison are done. xD Technically we could both do it, but bah, it's cooler when you're the only one doing that type. :3 Hard to explain, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

After Steel and Poison... I don't know what I'm gonna do. o:

Wow. Epic Update of Doom. X_X Guess I don't have to worry about Psychics since you'll be done in no time and I'll be able to do them next. I could just do some other type and come back to Psychics another time... This is what'll most likely happen.

Anyway, I've been slacking on playing, and I'm so close to being done, I want to finish before tomorrow. This way, I'll be done with Steel-Types today and finally finish Poison-Types tomorrow. Also, this will let me do as I wished and finish the Poison-Type run exactly one year after I started it.

Anyway, guys, I'm horribly sick right now, but I'll see if I can persevere and finish today.

EDIT: Okay, so I'm better now. I meant to post the final update for both my Poison-Type and Steel-Type runs on the 14th, like I'd hoped, but... Last week, the week the 14th was on, was the final week of school for the fall semester for me, so, of course, I had finals to prepare for. Thanks to unecessary sickness, that of which I'm still feeling the effects of (though I'm mostly cured), and studying, I couldn't find time for completing it on the day I'd wished. However, I did try. It was late the night of December 14th when I attempted to finish both runs. I finished one and was preparing how I would post the final update when... Pokecorner was down. "Just my luck," I thought. So, a mixture of SO many things compiled into one product: I didn't get to finish my runs on the 14th. Oh, well.

And now, I present to you the epic conclusion to this story; the final update:

---------- Update ----------


----------------------

- Descended into the lower levels of the Cave of Origin.
- Witnessed the legendary Kyogre at the bottom of the cave.
- Battled with Kyogre, eventually capturing him and claiming his power.
- Returned to the surface, the world back to normal.
- Talked with Steven outside the Sootopolis Gym.
- Challenged the Sootopolis City Gym, PinoAB7 carrying me onto victory; I defeated Wallace and obtained the Rain Badge.
- Climbed the waterfall that guards Ever Grande City.
- Ventured into Victory Road, the final stretch.
- Just before I made my way out of Victory Road, Wally challenged me; I defeated him quite nicely.
- Made it to the Pokemon League.
- Did a LOT of grinding / leveling up, preparing for the Elite Four.
- Ran a few more errands, getting a few items in the process.
- Assembled my team's final movesets.
- Grinded / Trained a little bit more.
- Used some last minute items, namely Rare Candies.
- Bought over $200,000 in items, including Full Restores and Revives.

Currently: Prepared and ready to take on the Elite Four.




---------- Update ----------


-------------------------


Defeated quite easily. Nothing too difficult, just did lots of type-matching.
It went okay. I didn't have any type matching to do, so I just muscled my way through her pokemon.

A lot easier than I'd originally thought. PinoAB7 and RX were the stars here.

Here's where K.O proved his- ...er, I mean, her, worth. She took out three of his pokemon, RX cleaning up with Ice Beam. This one went very smoothly.



---------- The Champion of Hoenn ----------

Wasn't much to this flying carbon-copy of Pyro Lee. Pino put 'em in his place with a quick Thunderbolt.

Quite possibly the most anticipated match-up of this entire monotype challenge, if you ask me, or close to it: RX vs. Steven's Aggron. I was hoping two Brick Breaks would be enough, and this held true, but he scared me with Earthquake. I thought, for sure, "I'm doomed," but RX pulled out and struck again, delivering the finishing blow to this iron-clad beast.

Actually quite a difficult battle only because of Water Pulse. I kept RX in and decided to heal him just to be safe, and he went down quite a bit from one Water Pulse. I used Brick Break, but it proved ineffective, and he ate another Water Pulse. I pulled him out in favor of K.O, hoping to Earthquake a time or two without getting 2HKO'd. Sure enough, on switch-in, Water Pulse takes half of K.O's life AND gets the confusion. I said good-bye to K.O at this point, but she got through the confusion and Earthquaked, but it didn't do as much as I'd hoped. I pull in Pyro Lee in favor of avoiding super-effective hits from Water Pulse. I felt extremely dumb and uneducated when Armaldo fell after one Steel Wing.

Good God, this took awhile. I decided to keep Pyro in to avoid Earthquakes and took advantage of this time to heal up my team. Meanwhile, he was attempting to dent Pyro with Ancientpower, but with lackluster results. He set up dual screens (Light Screen and Reflect) which just made my life harder. After fully healing my team, I pull in K.O, but she gets Earthquaked on sight, OHKOing her. After realizing the same would happen to Pino AND RX, I decide I'm going to have to wear him down slowly with Pyro Lee. After chipping away one bar with Steel Wing (about 1/9 of his health per use), Steven denies my efforts with a Full Restore. A repeat performance by Pyro Lee... AND STEVEN USES ANOTHER FULL RESTORE. So, after chipping away THREE bars of life from Claydol, he FINALLY FRICKIN' FALLS. Ugh... *cries in a corner*

Kept Pyro in again at half health, tried an attack, and decided I wasn't about to chipkill again. I switched RX in and used the most effective attack, Ice Beam. I got a lucky freeze. It only lasted one turn, but it was a free beam. I traded beams with Giga Drains until Steven decided to use a Full Restore on 'em. I continued trading with him until he switched out, which took me by suprise. He switched out with Metagross here, but when he came back, the trading game continued until I finally dropped him.

Metagross, Steven's ultimate pokemon, suprised me. With RX out, I figured I'd just go on the attack, but he quickly destroyed that idea with Earthquake. I pull out Pyro Lee as a result and see that there was little I could do against him. However, I managed to be able to survive anything he threw at me with lots of room to spare. I took advantage of this and healed my team up completely. I saw my only option was what I dreaded having to resort to... chipkill. Yes... I chipped him to death. With Aerial Ace. I'm going to rock in a corner now.



So, I went home a champion: the new Champion of Hoenn. I can say this was a lot of fun, and I can say I'm proud of my team and our victory. After the second round, I've offically finished the challenge. This brought new light to an already great game. I'm really happy I completed the challenge.
