It would've been a Water Stone, but I got one from Fisherman Tully. Not gonna evolve Pory at the moment, though.

Anyways...

--UPDATE
Day 3

Not gonna be much today, since I'm 1, stuck on Chuck, 2, Incredibly underlevelled, so today is really just gonna be a grindfest.

Team is pretty much the same as last time, but:
Pory the Poliwhirl - Level 29
Muscle the Machop - Level 12
Aaron the Mankey - Level 16
Steve the Heracross - Level 24

Probably won't update much today, because I am generally lazy about that stuff, so it'll only be things like Gym leader wins and possibly evolutions.

Just remembered Steve had Aerial Ace. Must train him more.

Got Aaron and Muscle to level 20... I need to get all of them to 30, though... So, yeah. Not gonna be much updates today.

Ugh, sick of training... Aaron is level 21 and Muscle is still just 20...
Might as well try the Gym now.

Got a lucky Critical and OHKO'd Chucks Poliwrath. Jasmine is going to be easy.

Gonna stop for today. I know it wasn't much progress today, but I'm kinda tired of playing for hours and hours... Maybe a badge or long event a day. That's all that's necessary...

-Ran an errand for Prof. Elm
-Got an Egg and Pokedex
-Emergency Call from Elm
-Fought Rival, named him Wesley
-Caught some pokemon

-Eggs hatched into Sneasel and Corphish

Currently: Training

Two Questions: Would I be allowed to trade over items to evolve a Murkrow and Sneasel later in the game and bring over a Houndour egg since he isn't available until after the Elite 4?

Accidentally deleted my Ground type Monotype challenge information, but it doesn't matter. I arrived back in Ecruteak, with a level 23 Nidorino, and level 26 Quagsire and Onix. I'd already decided that if I lost to Morty even just once, I'd restart and do the Normal type Monotype challenge.

So, you want to know how I went...?

I lost.

Restarted last night.

Username: Legendarian Mistress (call me Kyuu)
Type: Normal
Version: Heart Gold
Team: Pidgeot, Furret, Ambipom, Togekiss, Tauros & Miltank.

Update:

— Started game
— Chose female character, named self Eliza
— Chose a Cyndaquil, no nickname
— Named rival Silver
— Got Pokédex
— Captured a level 3 Sentret (nicknamed Prince) and level 3 Pidgey (nicknamed Breona). Trained them to level 10, and then challenged Violet City.

Edit # 1:

— Lost to Falkner on first try, so went and trained Prince and Breona to level 13.

TEAM:



Prince/Sentret @ N/A
Male/level 13
— Fury Swipes
— Foresight
— Defence Curl
— Quick Attack



Breona/Pidgey @ N/A
Female/level 13
— Tackle
— Sand Attack

Edit # 2:

— Breona defeated Falkner’s Pidgeotto all by herself. Shows how much stronger the Pidgey line is compared to Spearow and Fearow.

— Fury Swipes
— Foresight
— Defence Curl

Breona/Pidgey @ N/A

Update # 2:

— Heading to Azalea Town, via Union Cave. Will do some intense training on the way.

TEAM:

I think I'm gonna take a small break, if that's ok. I'll be back on Sunday or Monday. :\ Not that I don't enjoy it, it's just starting to get tedious. (Although, I must admit, I kind of expected that from the start - using only one type.) (Watch me make a liar out of myself and update tomorrow. :P)

OK, yeah, not updating today, will be back soon though.

Well, seeing as I now have a rival for the Normal-type Mono-Challenge, I figure I better start updating on a near-daily basis again, so here's my update. Sorry about the delay though. I was wrestling with DeSmuME for an hour last night, trying to get all my DS ROMS to open with DeSmuME rather than no$gba. What a pain that was.
  • Grabbed my trusty Cut and Flash slave, Bellsprout, and my insane Surf killer croc, Totodile, out of the PC boxes I dropped them in and put them in my party. Miltank and Togetic are sitting this one out.
  • ...Found a Raikou in the tall grass. No, I am not mukting you. After a single day of running, Raikou decided to chill out just barely south of Ecruteak. Almost caught it too, with the first Ultra Ball I threw. Got three shakes before it burst out. Not like it would have mattered though, since I can't use it anyway.
  • Trekked back to the Bike Shop, because I lost my last Bicycle.
  • Rode my Bicycle all the way back to Violet City, made a right turn, and entered Dark Cave.
  • After entering Dark Cave, I realized that my sprite self was gone. Not gone as in dead, but he's invisible now. That makes traversing this damn cave a real *****. Thank God for Max Repels.
  • Oh ****ing son of a **** eating dick! I need Strength now!? ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME!? What, did Game Freak decide that they are going to keep Teddiursa from everyone until after Olivine? This is real ****ing ********. I dragged my ass to Violet City for nothing.
  • On Route 37, I found Entei. Are you just ****ing kidding me now? What am I gonna find next, a ****ing Latias? Ultra Ball didn't catch it, it ran away, and I still don't give a ****.
  • Went back to Route 38, and beat every Trainer there, because I know they had a hand in denying me my Teddiursa.
  • Got a call from the Bike Store Manager, saying that, since I gave him a lot of advertisement, he's been selling a lot more Bicycles. He said he was going to give me a gift, and then tells me the Bicycle was the gift. Are you serious? I was going to keep this Bike regardless of whether or not you got good business from it. I want my cut of the profits, you parasitic-prick!
  • ...Damn ROM crashed on me again. You know what? **** the Bicycle this time, and **** Teddiursa. I'm not going through that ******** again, ever. Teddiursa can wait until Blackthorn, and if it can't, it can go **** itself. Stupid ****ing ROM.
  • Met Silver again. I'm so tempted to just knock him out with Tauros and dump his body in the ocean. Not like anyone would miss him, the little bastard that he is.
  • ****ing emulator closed out on me for no reason, so I'm stopping for the day before I become so enraged that I destroy my computer. I'm not posting my team this update either.
Edit: Stupid damn server was busy. Today is just not a good damn day for me. That better turn around quick, or I'm going to have so serious ****ing rage-fits. The ones that involve me having to stand before a judge and plead insanity.

I don't feel like doing the challenge anymore, I'm gonna withdraw.
Reason being, I haven't beaten Kanto yet, and the Monotype was fun for a while, but I just don't feel like it anymore. Sorry :/

Besides, 1HKOing every single one of the Elite Four's Pokemon with a LV.64 Adamant Gyarados is just so much more satisfying for me.

Maybe I'll get back into it later, in a new file. But when I do, I am definately doing water or flying so I can have Gyarados again.


Making a sad attempt...

Well, after my long, awesome, drawn out reply was created, I accidentally closed out Firefox and forgot to copy the reply. Whoops. All you need to know is that I got past Chuck and Jasmine. Damn it though. I had tons of good jokes thrown in that summary too! Now the world will never know...

Sorry to hear all that, but there's some good news. If you try to go into Mt Mortar a hiker comes out and gives you strength, so there is no need to go to
Olivine. =D

Also, is it okay to trade over a Houdour egg...I just realized that it couldn't be caught before the Elite 4.

Update:

-Saved Kimono girl from some random rocket grunt and met the all famous Bill.
-Caught an eevee, or rather got one from Bill. While leaving town Lyra's grandpa caught up to me and told me about a way to get an eevee that knew Wish. Don't know why I would want that to happen, but he told me to go catch a female Girafarig while I left the eevee with ditto and to train Togepi along the way, while holding the soothe bell. I think he's up to one of those breeding games again...and I'm the guinea pig once again...

You can get a murkrow from the fifth pokewalker course, which is why I brought the pokewalker and my ds to track with me. It only costs 500 watts so it shouldn't be too hard to get.

Also thanks for allowing the items and Houndour egg!

Yes, you can catch for your pokedex. It's better if you just write new posts so we can all see your updates.

I'll add in the new challengers soon.

If I did this with Dragon type, it wouldn't be cheating if I used a lvl 1 Giratina would it?
Giratina is a Legendary Pokemon, therefore, it is excluded from the challenge. If you wanted to import something like Dratini or Bagon (or Swablu), then I'm sure .EJ wouldn't mind. But Legendaries? I doubt it.
