[giradialkia]

Sign me up for Bug types. I will get started right away as soon as i find that damned Leafgreen Rom

All you need is Pinsir. Pinsir conqueres all. Mwahahahahahahahahaha...... XD Seriously, though, a Pinsir with Strength, Rock Tomb, Earthquake and Brick Break will sweep you through the challenge...
But everyone to their own, i guess.

You could have got Pinsir though, whose versatility is much more valuable then Scyter's on a monotype run. I won't get anything that can learn decent moves until Heracross.

Butterfree Lv.31
Bold; Compoundeyes
Confusion
Poisonpowder
Sleep Powder
Psychic

Parasect Lv.31
Hasty; Effect Spore
Bullet Seed
Slash
Spore
Dig

Beedrill Lv.28

Focus Energy
Rage
Twineedle

Butterfree Lv.27
Calm; Compoundeyes

I've also nearly got enough coins for a Scyther.

I'm not a fan of Flying in monotypes, since there are no pure Flying types.

i have finally decided on a type i will stick with-Psychic (and has started a now game where i have called myself dennis)

[overlord tyranitar]

New (big) update for my Psychic challenge

got through rock tunnel with only 2 hp damage on Espi, went to celadon (battled all trainers on the way) got the evee and evolved into flareon, cleared the rocket base and then pokemon tower. obtained the flute because of this and caught me a snorlax (which was then boxed) headed back to pallet and caught a staryu (named it Orion) , went back to celadon bought a leaf stone and evolved it into starmie and grinded it to Lv 38, grabbed fly and taught it to the newest HM slave fly rat (a pidgey) beat Lt surge and caught a slowpoke which i will train later

Current team
Espi Lv 53 psybeam, recover, shock wave, Psychic
Orion Lv 38 Starmie recover, bubblebeam, Psychic, Swift
Lazy Tail Lv29 Slowpoke Confusion, Disable, Headbutt, water pulse
Sandman Lv 12 Drowzee Pound, Disable, Confusion, Hypnosis
Leaf (HM slave 1) Lv 25 Ivysaur Cut, Flash, Leech seed, Poison powder
Fly Rat (HM slave 2) Lv 3 Pidey Tackle, Fly

And can anyone tell me where the Shadow ball Tm is?

The best defense is a good offense (Recover helps a lot is well)

 

[BenjiTheKid]

I didn't make too much progress. But, I did get through the rocket hideout. Currently, I'm about to take on Erika. I'm probably gonna lose horribly my first few times.. but, I'm trying anyway.

Vaporeon grew to Lv 31. I evolved Wartortle. Gyarados hasn't grown at at all because I've been working on training Vaporeon.

I'm not a fan of Flying in monotypes, since there are no pure Flying types.

True that XD I've realized two things so far.

1, flying types have a HELL in Rock Tunnel.

2, neither Char(izard)meleon, Gyarados nor Butterfree are much of a flying type XD

So... another type would be fit for the next challenge I'll make :p

 

[sent1mental]

i call the fightining one, one question how many fighting pokemon can i get in FR/LG?
machop, mankey, himonchan/lee (ill go) chan, poliwrath can yu even get that FR/LG? that crappy half bug/fighting which yu cant get until yu beat the league once

 

[The Green One]

You can get Poliwrath yes. And you can breed you Hitmon to get all 3 if you count top, but only when you reach the Sevii Islands.

 

[overlord tyranitar]

Good news, i have competed this challenge (which was surprisingly easy with Espi the Kadabra, Saffron city- beat sabrina team rocket and fighting dojo later thrashed Koga and aquired surf.
beat Blaine i boxed all my team exept Espi and two HM slaves, THRASHED Viridian Gym and collected all Hm's i could find and taught them to my HM slaves, beat all trainers on Victory Road.
Beat the Elite four easily with espi (proprer description would be Muredered), got national dex from oak stopped team rocket again (yay more XP) an caught johto pokemon (double yay, trading time) beat the elite four for the second time with espi fainting only 1 time (to a lucky critical hit from a gengar)and finished the so called "champion" (how dare he take my position when i was busy saving some pitifull islands.

final team
Espi Lv85 Kadabra psybeam, shadow ball, psychic, shock wave
Hm slave 1- ivysaur flash, cut, strengh, leech seed lv25
pidgey lv 3- tacjle, fly
kabuto surf, rock smash, waterfall (not sure if this was the hm slave i used)

I finished so quick because of that wonderfull thing called VBA speed boost

 

[Tyranitar042]

Short sweet and to the point

Venusaur lv.56
Nidoking lv. 52
Nidoqueen lv. 53
Golbat lv. 55
Tentacruel lv.52

I had a weezing but i dont know where it has gone it was a sweeper as well surprisingly good speed with very strong physical attacks especially explosion!!!

well beat everyone except giovanni. Sabrina wasn't too bad actually what i thought it was. My Tentacruel took most damage from alakazam enough to make her attacks useless to my nidoking which i might add took a while to obtain due to training nidorino to get mega-horn which OHKO'd all of sabrina's poke's easily. I showed koga what a real poison type could do as well; now for blaine, tentacruel with surf spells it out. Hopw to post back soon but internet may be down a while be sure to post a finished game when io come back. SEE YOU LATER
