I'm already underway with a Monotype Challenge on my blue version but i'll definately join in this one when I eventually get that one finished! :D

And i'll also be happy to make any banners for anyone who requests one. Are you wanting individual banners for each type (Say for example someone who chooses Electric gets an Electric banner etc), a main banner for the actual Challenge or both? I'll be happy to provide them either way.

 

[FalseSwipe]

I will take ghost. Since there are no ghost pokemon catchable before the 2nd badge, do I have permission to hack one into the first route and catch it?

 

[Limey-chan]

Hope these are okay. Anyone competing can use them, i'll get some more types up for tomorrow.

The rest:
Fighting:

Ground:

Rock:

Bug:

Poison:

Flying:

Psychic:

Normal:

They aren't perfect but they're the best I can do with no Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop. Like i've said anyone's free to use them :D

 

[DrawnVigilance]

ahh thank you CoolTrainer_Mike they are great, i will add them to the first page!

as for falseswipe you cannot choose ghost, you have to choose a type you can obtain before the second gym

 

[BREAKINGBEN]

Ahh, yet another Red/Blue monotype challenge... >.<. When Monotype challenges were a new thing at PC, my first challenge was an R/B Monotype with Fire. I got to Victory Road but, since the challenge thread died, I never made it through D:!

That being said, I want to try again with Fire. (It was so much fun tanking Charizard through half of the game... then having to train an Flareon and Growlithe at the same time... >.>)

I'll probably start this today and move between this, my D/P Power House challenge, and writing my essay ^.^... But, if I can recreate what happened last time, I'll be in Celadon later today :D!

It turns out that I have started :D!!

Update:
-Restarted my Red version
-Named my Trainer Ryan
-Named my Rival Zach
-Withdrew the potion >.>
-Chose Charmander and named it Blaze (in honor of the original Blaze from my first challenge >.>)
-Easily defeated Zach while only losing 3 HP :)
-Caught a Rattata and a Pidgey for the Pokedex (so I can get Flash later on >.>)
-Beat Zach again, not as easily, but it still wasn't difficult.
-Blaze evolved :D!
-Caught a Weedle (Pokedex: 5)

Gym Battle: Brock:
Geodude surprisingly went down with 2 Embers and a Scratch (it was also burned during a critical hit... >.>, awesome). Onix wasn't that much harder. 4 Embers and a Burn and I won my first Badge... the Boulderbadge!!

-Bought a Magikarp for $500... a sound investment >.<... (Pokedex: 6)

Trainer: Ryan
Badges: 1
Team: Blaze is doing very well, actually.

iv decided to change the rule for posting one message, please post a new message for every 2 updates or so just so this thread doesnt die off, thanks :D

 

[BREAKINGBEN]

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I'm worried my D/P challenge will die off >.>, but I would like someone else to do the challenge here T.T... I'm starting to get very lonely (lol).

Update, then:

-Made it through Mt. Moon (after having to go back and get more PP on ember a few times >.>)
-Chose the Helix Fossil (Not that is matters)
-Defeated Zach for the third time today very easily before Nugget Bridge!
-Swept Nugget Bridge and won a... Nugget...
-Misty was a lot easier than last time >.>. Scratch finally Prevails! Cascadebadge is now mine >:D!!!!

Trainer: Ryan
Badges: 2
Team: Scratch finally pwnd...

I would be interested in taking the challenge for water. I'm playing through Emerald right now so I won't be starting this until I finish that game. I've got 5 badges right now so I should be done pretty soon.

I've never actually played through red with Squirtle, so this should be fun.

 

[xcthulhux]

im confused. are you supposed to beat the game with nothing but your type or with a lead of your type?

 

[DrawnVigilance]

you have to go through the game using only your type of pokemon that you choose from

 

[BlitŻ1]

I WANT WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please?

 

[Underoos]

Hmm...how about I take this Monotype challenge now? Guess what I'm gonna choose? XD Well...I can't decide between fire or electric (to challenge myself more)...Eh, I guess I'll just go with Red version, fire pokemon.

 

[FastTonyDeNiro]

Ha I need to find another copy of red, because I have a full dex on my red version and I'm not starting a new game over it.

In that case maybe I need a blue version.

I could probably borrow my friend's brother's yellow version. I know it says "red/blue challenge" but would yellow be acceptable?

 

[slls81]

Hey could I take poison please...

 

[Harry Blue5]

Since I'm doing a bug-type in your G/S/C Monotype thing, I'll carry on the legacy on Nostalgia in this thread.
