Hey there :) I'm new but I saw this thread and thought I'd give it a shot as I've been wanting something new to do with my classic Pokémon games :D

I completed a Rock-type run of Pokémon Yellow a few weeks back - capturing footage of every Gym and Pokémon League battle on film with the VBA :) Sadly I don't know how to convert the filetype to make it suitable to upload on YouTube as it's my first time using the record fuction :P

I also completed a Ground-type run of Ruby whilst on holiday last week, although none of it was filmed :( Was good fun though :D

I'm currently planning to do a challenge run of some sort of the 2nd generation, so any suggestions for challenging ones are welcome :D

I'm going to try this one out starting in yellow with electrics. My pikachu is lvl 9 so far, almost got owned by Gary twice. Going to be interesting if I make it d\p since I've never played those games before.

Made it through the first 3 gyms. I literally struggled to beat brock's onyx. I 20x speeded all my thundershocks off against wild pokemon, set up max double teams and growls, then in deep red I ran out of quick atks, luckily I was able to use all my growls and double teams in order to win. Hammer the pikachu gained lvl 16.

By the time I slaughtered misty, Hammer knew thunderbolt. I won her badge too.

After the depature of the SS Anne I caught Fritz (magnemite) at lvl 20 near the plant. Got him to 21 to learn the boom. Only took me 3 tries to getto Surg, 2 of which were corner cans. I tried to boom Surg's Raichu but fainted and Hammer put down a nice slam jam. Saving Thunderbolt for my voltorb since he doesnt learn any elc moves by level.

We caught more random pokemon in order to get Flash. Caught Zurg (lvl 20 magnemite) and taught him flash. He's going to be my status\flash pokemon. He took down a lvl 24 graveler by max flashing, then ir selfdestructed and missed. Quite a beast. Fritz evolved, might use thunderstone on Hammer, forget if it's possible in yellow (I don't think it is).

Picked up a Jolteon in Celadon named Jenga. Beat Erika, team rocket, and ghost tower. Needed to get surf and ability to use it asap so I could catch a voltorb, my final editon to team. Got surf, trained, beat koga. Got voltorb lvl 37 and named it Linus from power plant. It evolved after 1 lvl. I swept through Saffron, Jenga's Pin missile though very weak defeated the psychics. Swept through cinabar. Beat Blaine. Stuck at Giovanni, think I need some training first, Nidoqueen is annoying. Can't toxic it, cant use thunder etc, pin missile is super but doesnt do much. It 1hko's everything with earthquake. Very tempted to cheat to get exp share, would have to catch 27 more pokemon doing it fairly and that would suck a lot.

Got lucky beating giovani, took a few tries. Got through victory road. Did a small grind session. Destroyed the elite four nothing really gave me problems. Hammer's double team, though very cheap owned Agatha. Toxic was a key in beating the tougher pokemon.

Final Team:

Level 59 Hammer (pikachu)
Level 56 Fritz (magneton)
Level 50 Linus (electrode)
Level 57 Jenga (jolteon
Level 56 Zurg (magneton)

Starting Crystal.

I've decided on my next run, I shall be using the flying types on Pokémon Crystal :) . I do have the game cartridge but I'll play it on an emulator as I'd like to record it :D . On that note, he's a video from my Rock-only run of Yellow (I understand that the sound gets messed up towards the end, thanks to GrassGiant for helping me with that, it shouldn't happen in the future :) )

On further inspection, I can't post URLs until I have 15 posts of course :P I'll post it once I have 15 :D Now to get cracking on Crystal with Flying types, I'll update every now and then :) .

ooh, this sounds interesting.
however, as i don't posess and thus played RBY nor GSC before, i guess i'll take a regular monotype challenge. Emerald only. how nostalgic, the hoenn saga..
VBA though. but i won't cheat, obviously.

as for the type.. I'll be taking the Dark-type then.
Sign me up, if you'd please .

hiinotama out.

Taking another big break, and sadly I will have to start over my Sinnoh Quest. Lately I've been having some computer issues and my emulator and Platinum run got deleted. And also school gets tougher and tougher, so I will be taking it back up in December, hopefully. So, for now, bye.

I'm done playing today in my Flying run of Crystal :) . Starting to think that space barring through half the game ruins it a bit though, as I've reached and beaten the 7th Gym in a matter of hours :/ . Anyway, here's the team as I prepare to beat Team Rocket and head to Blackthorn:

Kenya - Fearow - Fly, Mud-Slap, Leer, Swift
Fanta - Mantine - Surf, Headbutt, Bubblebeam, Icy Wind
Bulmers - Golbat - Confuse Ray, Wing Attack, Bite, Leech Life
Squash - Butterfree - Confusion, Gust, Sleep Powder, Nightmare
Crimson - Red Gyarados - Strength, Rock Smash, Bite, Dragon Rage

League will probably be done by tomorrow at this rate, but I doubt I'll beat Red if I keep this up so a mega training session may be needed sometime :P Last time I beat Crystal I beat Red with 5 Lv.50's, but they weren't all weak to Lv.81 Pikachus :P .

Question for Ultimate Challenge: When Black and White are out, I assume they will be added.

Now, will you have 2 separate champions list, one for before and one for after? And if so, will those who completed 1-4 only have to complete gen 5 to get on the after list?

Been really busy lately with family, getting moved in, stuff set up for school... so basically haven't played Heart Gold much. But basically what me and Sparky have done over the past few days was beat Team Rocket in Mahogany town and a tiny bit of training. So sad I didn't do enough to make a fun pedophilic post... I'll just include this in my next update.

Team: Pikachu (FINALLY EVOLVED! :D), Flaffy, Elekid (Both quite close to evolving), Jolteon (My Tank!) Magnemite, and Lanturn (Those 2 are sorta along for the ride, but extra strength always helps!)

Also have: Totodile (Strength, Cut, Whirlpool [He's waiting for Waterfall]); Togepi (Rock Smash [hopefully Fly if I ever evolve it]), and Pidgey (Fly)

Also curious... anyone else take the time to read most of other people's updates? I don't read all of them, but I skim most and read some that look interesting.
