4th Update, Fire Challenge, Black 2:
-battled in the Nimbasa City sports arenas
-checked out Route 16 and Lostlorn Forest
-took a look inside the Musical place. It was a bit funny when the owner was taking about how my character on White (cuz I did Memory Link) was such a star at the musicals. I was like, sir, I did the musicals all of 4 times back then, and I wasn't amazing either. Whatchoo talkin' about?
-took a ride on the Ferris Wheel, picked up Curtis's Xtransceiver
-cleared the old Nimbasa gym (I thought there was more than 2 trainers in there, but apparently there isn't)
-defeated Elesa at the new Nimbasa gym. It wasn't hard, partly because I went and taught Darumaka Dig before entering the gym. Took a little longer than it needed to because of paralysis and Elesa's constant Volt Switching.
-helped Hugh defeat some Neo Plasma grunts, because that kid just can't let me handle things

It's been pretty easy so far, except for a couple of battles. But now's where it gets hard; Clay's gym is next. And I think I have to wait until after his gym before I can get more Fire types. We'll see if I can get Volcarona before the gym or not...

Fairy-type cannot be used for Ultimate Challenges.

11. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, Pokémon-Amie and Exp. Share cannot be used. The only exception to this rule is for evolving Eevee into Sylveon.
Firs of all, why would evolving Eevee into Sylveon be permitted if the Fairy type is not allowed for this challenge? Secondly... why is the Fairy type disallowed in the first place?

You actually quoted exactly the piece of info you needed. It's not allowed for ULTIMATE challenges. Single challenges in X and Y can use Fairy Type still.

Aventure! J'adore les fees. :) Je parle francais tres mal, haha. Enough of that. Thanks to Makoto for the Swirlix egg. I didn't have my extra 3DS to trade myself one, so he did the honors and took my lame French Scatterbug. She hatched quickly and was named Mousse. I had no trouble with the first gym, surprisingly. After I did that, I caught my second party member Rygarde the Ralts. Fun stuff: Tackle is Charge and unable is impossible. A lot of people tried to trade with me, despite my message saying "need swirlix egg" and they offered...not even eggs. Thanks for the offer of Landorus, guys, but I really doubt you want my French Bidoof or Fletchling.

Ok, forget me doing cartridge SoulSilver; it's far too difficult to grind my team on there and I really don't have the attention span to sit down and grind for half an hour. So, I'm restating (no, not restarting) my Poison Ultimate.

You could likely swap Yvetal for Xerneas on the GTS quite easily.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

So I've given it some thought, and I've come to the decision that I'm gonna change the way I record people's progress in this challenge. More often than not, after a couple days any badge progress I list is outdated. So instead of spending hours going through posts and changing badge numbers just to have them be out of date until the next week, I am going to stop tracking badges and just look for people finishing their challenges. I still want you guys to post updates because it helps me know that the challenge is still active. This will also let me pay more attention to when questions are asked and if people are following the rules. So starting this Saturday, expect the OP to change a decent bit and don't be surprised if the badge numbers are missing. Have a nice day!

So does that mean when you're updating, you'll only be listing people who complete their challenges? Is that what you'll be doing?

Either way, i'll start my next Monotype.

X Dark Monotype, Update #1

Spoiler:
So I started up the game, played as the brown girl and named her Luna. I chose Froakie as my starter, got a female and named it Frogger. After beating Shauna and doing all the usual stuff, I made it through Santalune Forest and into the city.

Viola was a bit shaky. I paralyzed her Surskit with Lick after she only used Water Sport, and she kept getting fully paralyzed. I even got a critical hit after she healed. As for Vivillon, I kept hammering away with Bubble, and when Infestation brought me to 6 HP I killed her thanks to Torrent.

I went through Route 4, avoiding the trainers, and made it into Lumiose. I failed against Sycamore twice because of Bulbasaur with Leech Seed, so I evolved Frogger into Frogadier by beating the trainers on Route 22. Then I beat him again since he didn't use Leech Seed. I got the Squirtle just so I could get another Blastoisinite, and then went to Route 5.

After beating Tierno, I caught a Pancham which I named Polina (thanks BladeTitan94 for the suggestion in Mibbit). I stopped there so I could train her up.

So here's my team:
Spoiler:
(F) "Frogger", Level 18
Nature: Naughty
Moves: Lick, Pound, Return, Water Pulse

(F) "Polina", Level 9
Nature: Lonely
Ability: Iron Fist
Moves: Tackle, Leer, Arm Thrust

I'm just not including badge count. Current challengers will still be listed with their respective games. Especially in the case of Ultimates.

Update: I've gotten my first gym badge with AZURILL of all Pokemon. I've had a really hard time getting it to level to Marill :/ It's level 21 right now ugh lol. I'm working through to my second badge and hopefully getting it to evolve to a Marill then an Azumarill. :3 It's lonely with Huge Power. I caught a Flabebe that's modest too n_n so that's pretty awesome. I haven't used her at all really yet.
