I'm sure one like this exists but I couldn't find any when I searched. But this challenge is Mono-Species, which means only one pokemon for you noobs. Starting with red/blue going till diamond/pearl. But this is also a monotype so it has to be the same type throughout all the games, plus for each game you can only beat the elite four with 1 pokemon, for gold/silver you have to beat red.

Rules
1. You can only beat the game with 1 pokemon.
2. You have to use the same type of pokemon throughout the generations.
3. I discourage using yellow/crystal/emerald/platinum just for consistency sake. But if you don't have the regular ones, go ahead.
4. I also discourage using firered/leafgreen or heartgold/soulsilver just for consistency sake. Plus you won't get the nostalgic fun!
5. I know this is obvious but, absolutely NO cheat codes AT ALL.
6. You may use emulators and you may also speed up gameplay with the emulators, but for nostalgic fun I suggest going with the actual systems.
7. You do not have to use the same pokemon throughout all the generations.
8. You should post an update probably about every two badges.
9. The types you cannot pick are steel, dark, ice, and dragon. Steel and Dark because they're not in the first generation, dragon and ice because you can't get it till pretty far in.
10. You should have gotten your pokemon by your third badge. Once you get the pokemon you may switch it for another pokemon of the same type but you can only use one pokemon at a time.

Banners:

I don't use "uber" Pokemon, I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

Hehe cool, first participant (aside from you?)

Anyway, here it is:

Started game, Called myself 'Doritoz' (after a brand of corn chips) and my rival 'Hotty'.
Chose Bulbasaur and got rid of him when I caught pikachu.
Got defeated by brock over and over until I trained and finally won.
Got up to misty and easily won....

Yes, I meant besides myself.
Well here is my update.
I started in red, got charmander, got a package for oak then gave it to him. Went and and bought some pokeballs. Caught a pidgey then grinded him to level 8. Took and gary and won. Went threw viridian forest, completely dominating with gust. Got to pewter, this went a bit harder. Stocked up on potions, and went for it. After me using gust, him attacking, me using gust, him attacking, me using potion, repeat repeat repeat, I finally beat him. Went and healed my pokes and went threw route 3 i believe. Owned everyone, and went threw mt. moon having a little twinge of trouble with the hikers and the rocket with a sandshrew. Got to the other side, healed my pokes then took on gary. After 1 defeat I went and fought him again and this time won. I then proceeded to nugget bridge and killed everyone, then healed and cleared the rest of the area by bill's house.
I saved him from being a pokemon then went and took on misty. Lost two times in a row then I finally won. I then saved and quit.

The reason i'm only that far is cause I couldn't find my red for a while.

E: Not sure yet, anyone care to give a suggestion?
Pl: Vespiquen until I get a Scyther

Okay, sounds good.
Hmm, I would go with Dustox for Emerald because he can learn some psychic attacks.
