The Ultimate Monotype Challenge Introduction Welcome, one and all, to the Ultimate Monotype Challenge! The Monotype Challenge is among the main challenges that can be played in Pokemon, and is one that has probably been done for far longer than the existence of the term "Challenge" in Pokemon. Simply put, a Monotype Challenge is a play through of any give Pokemon game, where you use Pokemon who share one of their types with each other. This may seem simple, but when you get a Badge or two in, you start to realize that your team will be vulnerable to certain teams in the game if you don't play carefully. Now here's where things get interesting. Some of you may opt to accept the Ultimate Monotype Challenge. This means that you will play though at least one game of any give region in the main Pokemon franchise. A long and arduous path awaits those who accept the Ultimate Monotype Challenge. But the greater the challenge, the greater the reward! Now then, let's get started, shall we? Rules 1. All Pokemon on your team must share at least one type with each other. Your team must comprise of at least 2 Pokemon. Each Pokemon should theoretically be within 10 levels of each other by the end. Also, if all your Pokemon share 2 types, it will still only be counted as the type you sign up for. No stacking type completion. 2. Until you find a Pokemon of your chosen type, you must only use your starter. 3. Pokemon who evolve into a Pokemon of your chosen type are allowed, as long as you evolve them at your earliest convenience. However, Pokemon of your type who evolve into a different type altogether are not allowed to perform the evolution in question. Mega Evolution is banned. 4. A Pokemon of your type should be caught before challenging the 3rd gym. If a Pokemon of your type cannot be found before the 3rd gym, you may trade/hack in a single low level Pokemon or egg that belongs to your region's Pokedex, as long as it is not RNG abused or bred for Egg moves/Hidden Abilities. Otherwise, do not hack any Pokemon in. For a list games you can hack/trade in, see below. Event obtained Pokemon are also banned, even if obtained with a game you are running your challenge on. 5. HM slaves are allowed. If they do not match your type, you may not use them in battle, unless absolutely necessary for double/triple/rotation battles when you don't have enough Pokemon in your team. 6. No Legendary Pokemon, even if they match your chosen type. 7. Hacked ROMs are acceptable for this challenge. However, total hacks (Brown Version, Light Platinum, etc) are only acceptable for Single Challenges. Hacks that feature existing regions, whether they are remakes or complete Pokedex hacks (Blaze Black, Skeetendo's Christmas Hack, LiquidCrystal, etc), are acceptable for the Ultimate Challenge, as long as it corresponds to a region you have not completed. 8. You may use hacks or cheats for the purpose of evolving a Pokemon if you are incapable of doing so otherwise. For example, using an evolution editor to make evolution of Kadabra into Alakazam possible without trading. This does not apply to Pokemon that evolve outside of your region's Pokedex. Like Seadra and Golbat in FireRed and LeafGreen. If the Pokemon requires an item with the trade, then you must obtain the item in game before evolving the Pokemon. 9. Your adventure ends when the Champion of the region has been defeated. This is defined differently for each game: Spoiler:
10. You may trade in Pokemon of your type that is not available in your game as long as it is part of your regional Pokedex. It must also be no higher in level than your weakest Pokemon in your team, or be an egg (the prefered option). This allows you to play with Pokemon that would normally be exclusive to the opposite game. Like Stunky and Glameow in Diamond and Pearl respectively. 11. You may use external sources such as the Pokewalker, Dream World, and Dream Radar to obtain Pokemon for your challenge, as long as it is connected to that challenge's Trainer ID. Pokemon Bank is not included in this rule and may not be used to obtain Pokemon unless by rule 4. 12. Pokemon Amie is banned due to the extremely game breaking buffs it provides. This rule may be circumvented for the purpose of raising a Sylveon. Exp Share in X and Y is also banned, as it provides a lot of extra experience for each battle, essentially tripling (and then some) your total experience gain with a full team. 13. Dark Monotype is exempt from Kanto, and Steel is optional if anyone wants to play FRLG with just the Magnemite family. Fairy is excluded from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova. As such, Fairy cannot have an Ultimate Challenge until such time that we get more games with Fairy type in them. Ultimate Challenge In order to qualify as an Ultimate Champion, you must complete the challenge in one game of each region using the same type. Here is a list of games by region. 1. Kanto : Spoiler:
2. Johto: Spoiler:
3. Hoenn: Spoiler:
4. Sinnoh: Spoiler:
5. Unova: Spoiler:
6. Kalos: Spoiler:

Well, I'm glad to see a new thread, as the old one wasn't getting updated.
I've done Psychic, Poison, Rock, Fire, and Water through Sinnoh, and I've also done Flying, Normal, Fighting, Ground, Grass, Electric, Ice, Bug, Dark, Dragon, Steel, and Ghost through Unova. By the way, you should make sure you mention a few things: 1) Dark and Steel are not in Gen I, so they don't need to be included in a Ultimate challenge (i.e. you start with a Johto game). Single game ones are fine of course. 2) You should probably indicate a minumum team number of 2, unless there are no other pokemon available. 3) When hacking in a beginning Pokemon, only ones that are found in the wild before the end of the challenge should be allowed (i.e. no hacking in a Smoochum in Sinnoh, as it's not found in the wild until after the E4). Just my two cents. Also, there were some great userbars in the old thread, maybe you should bring those over here too .And finally, you might want to talk to Myrrhman about possibly transferring some records over here from the old thread, as I know he compiled some kind of updated Champions list.

Hey everyone! I made updates.
Jdthebud, I am sure there are other rules I forgot too! There are just so many hypothetical situations that need some type of guideline, but thanks for helping me with quite a few of them  Smashmaster, the old thread hadn't been updated in over a year, no further explanation is needed. 8bit, glad to see you are enjoying yourself

[IMG](image url goes here)[/IMG] I also think you can simply copy and paste sprites if you're using IE. I might be wrong, though. I get the sprites from Bulbapedia. Anyways, I'm still working on my Fire UMC in Sinnoh. Will update later. Still in Fantina's gym lol. I haven't made much progress. -Monferno -Ponyta
