Just a little announcement. I'm going to be putting my rock monotype on hold for a little bit. While playing through my hack I noticed that I made some major errors editing some trainers so I'm going to have to start over editing them again, so I decided to hold off for now until I completely finish the hack. I can't really say when I'll have it finished cause every time I give myself a date to finish by I end up working on it less than I normally would... Well, thankfully my save file is still good, so no problems there.

Well I am feeling like the luckiest person in the world now. On the flying mono run, I found this:



A shiny Oddish with PKRS!

That's one of the rarest things in the world.

I used it and now all my pokemons have PKRS

Kagami is correct about this. I did find a work around though. Some rom hacks have the evolution block completely removed. Notably, Pokemon Murky Red is one I found that works. All you have to do is load your save file while playing such a hack, level up to evolve, and then save again, reload with your regular rom, and you should be good. It's what I did to evolve my Shuppet.

Started my Dragon mono, beat Brock, too lazy to update the way I normally do...
Alright, I will do that, thanks!

EDIT: Wait, wait, wait. I have the LeafGreen ROM. Is there a Murky Red equivalent for Leaf Green that still takes away the evolution block?

First update for my Flying Mono:

Ultimate Flying-Mono: Heart Gold

- Named myself "Harvey" and chose "Cyndaquil"

- Met Mr.Pokemon then beat my Rival and named him "Falcone"

- Went to Dark Cave and caught a female Zubat named "Rouge"

- Cleared Sprout Tower then beat Falkner for the
Zephyr Badge

- Grabbed the Old Rod and caught a male Magikarp called "Garydos"

- Made it through Union Cave and cleared Team Rocket out of Slowpoke Well

- Destroyed Bugsy and his Gym for the
Hive Badge

- Managed to level grind Garydos into a "Gyarados" on the way to Goldenrod

- Skipped over to the Bug Catching Contest and caught a male Scyther named "Psycho"

- Went back to Whitney's Gym and made her look like the biggest fool, earning me the
Plain Badge

- Made my way to Ecruteak to beat my Rival and Morty for the
Fog Badge

- Did the Secretpotion quest to unlock the Safari Zone

- Traveled to the Safari Zone and spent an hour before I caught a male Murkrow named "Itachi"

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

Well, I guess it's time to go and grab a Natu from the Ruins of Alph now.

EDIT: Wait, wait, wait. I have the LeafGreen ROM. Is there a Murky Red equivalent for Leaf Green that still takes away the evolution block?
There is a tool i found that can evolve pokemon in gba games, it's called pokeboxGBA, it kinda works like pokesav for the DS games, pretty neat program.
Don't know if it's okay to post links to other forums and stuff like that but it is easy to find via Google.

EDIT: Oh and i have a question about the Challenge, if i were to play a dragon challenge in lets say sapphire and i wanted a kingdra, would it be okay to trade in a horsea holding a dragon scale, because i just caught a horsea holding one in my "breeding, complete pokedex etc." save in emerald after hours of fishing getting nothing but horsea holding nothing, and thought it would be a fun "starter" in a dragon challenge? Would it be okay if it was holding the dragon scale or should i catch another one with a dragon scale when i get the super rod? and to my knowledye i won't be able to catch dragons before 3rd gym in hoenn is that correct?

There pretty much isn't any game where a Dragon is available before the 3rd gym, to my knowlege, at least not without a Pokewalker or Dream World. Anyway, that sounds fine in this instance, since there's no real place where a Dragon Scale is just sitting to be found. But wait a reasonable amount of time before evolving, use Seadra for a bit. Give him some love. o 3o

okay Cool i can't get my trading to work right now but i'll try some more and see if i get it to work and start a Dragon Challenge then, probably just a single game challenge because dragon types are so limiting to only a few pokes.

But i would like to start another monotype challenge, cause i'm kinda tired of my other challenges right now and want something else to spice it up, so i want to start a ground type challenge too because there are a lot of cool ground type pokemon.(Damn i love playing monotype challenge, just fun to play, but it is good to have something to change it up a bit)

Username: Febbe
Type: Ground
Challenge: Ultimate

I'll start with emerald because there are so many cool and diverse ground types in that game.

Like Huggermugger said, Dratini is available at tha Game Corner in every Johto game except Crystal, but Grotle is also available in Platinum before the third gym as well in the secret Wayward Cave, only in Platinum though.

Yeah, I knew that, it just slipped my mind last night. I was pretty beat. Either way, the point was that there are no dragons before the third gym in Sapphire.

I think you mean Gible, not Grotle. Grotle is a starter. lol

OKAAAY i have defeated the E4 with my ground team in Emerald. Here is a Recap of the game:

- I started out with Mudkip (1st team member)
- caught a Nincada as a hm slave
- i beat the first three gym leaders only with mudkip/Marshtomp, skipping a lot of trainers from slateport and onwards.
- in the fiery path i caught a Numel.
- after lavaridge i went to the desert to catch baltoy and Trapinch (team completed)
- beat the rest of the game with this team.

Team After E4
Spoiler:

Swampert
lvl. 55
- Earthquake
- Surf
- Hyper Beam
- Brick Break

Flygon
lvl. 55
- Crunch
- DragonBreath
- Fly
- Earthquake

Claydol
lvl. 54
- Shadow Ball
- Psychic
- SolarBeam
- Ice Beam

Camerupt
lvl. 52
- Flamethrower
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Sunny Day


I liked what a powerful combo a firetype pokemon with sunny day and another pokemon with Solarbeam can be, i was underlevelled most of the game actually but in the later parts of the game this combo ended up being quite Effective especially Juan took some serious damage from Claydol's solarbeams, it was only before the E4 i had to grind my team a little before being able to handle them.

Just so everyone knows I'm still here doing my Ghost Monotype challenge. Because I've been going on and off for a while, I can't fully remember everything I've done early on. Like my Rainbow Challenge, I'll put up a string of pics to show I've stuck with everything once I've completed the challenge.

I have:

Elevated all my Nincada to Shedinja, discarding the Ninjasks.
Defeated Wattson
Discarded one of my Shedinja.
Brought back Goober the Mudkip for use as an HM slave. Taught it Rock Smash and then Strength.
Thwarted Team Magma's plans at the volcano.
Defeated Flannery after, like, five tries. Taught one of my Shedinja Dig after I think two.
Defeated Dad, got Surf and taught Goober it.
Thwarted Team Aqua at the Weather Institute.

Current Team:

Jimbodini, Level 30 Shedinja
Wonder Guard
Cut
Double Team
Screech
Fury Cutter

Reggie X, Level 30 Shedinja
Wonder Guard
Secret Power
Dig
Fury Cutter
Double Team

Bijou, Level 39 Female Sableye
Keen Eye
Confuse Ray
Faint Attack
Fake Out
Night Shade
Back after long, unwanted, unforseen Hiatus... Nothing worth noting in signature as of yet... : <

- Flew to Mauville as I forgot about the fossils in the desert -.-

Team:
Golem (Gollum) Level 40
Slugma (Ember Fudd) Level 28
Lairon (ShinyShiny) Level 35
Solrock (Helios) Level 30

Finished my run! Boo yah! Time for the details.

- So after rematching strong trainers again and again and again, finally managed to get everyone in my team to LVL 60.

- While doing this, I did the whole Spiritomb ritual thing with my friend and caught Spiritomb. Nickname: Creepsta.

- Did the same grinding with Creepsta, eventually getting him up to speed with the rest of the team.

- Went to challenge the E4. Brought many Max Potions, Full Heals and some Full Restores.

- After some trouble with Bertha and Flint, beat the living crap out of Lucian and continued to see Cynthia.

- Lemme tell you, there's a reason Cynthia is the second best champion in the Pokemon series. (Next to Red, of course)

- Finally beat Cynthia with good old Mistress the Honchkrow. Entered the Hall of Fame, yadayadayada.

Final Team:


Mistress
Species: Honchkrow
Type: Dark/Flying
Gender: Female
Level: 62


Lucian
Species: Houndoom
Type: Dark/Fire
Gender: Male
Level: 61


Pinch
Species: Drapion
Type: Poison/Dark
Gender: Female
Level: 60


Sash
Species: Weavile
Type: Dark/Ice
Gender: Female
Level: 61


Shadows
Species: Umbreon
Type: Dark
Gender: Male
Level: 60


Creepsta
Species: Spiritomb
Type: Ghost/Dark
Gender: Female
Level: 62

So, basically, I'm done. And I even managed to get a full team! Good job, me! This is also the first time I've managed to beat Platinum, as every other time I got bored. :P
