First and only update post below:

Spoiler:

Figured this would make a good start, as it gives me access to both Blastoise and Nidoqueen.

Starting off, I get L2 Nidoran Female as my first catch.

Brock is Gen 1 Brock versus a starter not named "Charmander".

Squirtle evolves after a fight with a Bug Catcher in Mt. Moon.
Nidoran evolves while fending off swarms of wild Zubats.
Moon Stone is immediately deployed to evolve Nidorina, since her moveset will be TM-based anyway.

Cerulean City Rival falls easily to the duo.

Nugget Bridge and the nearby area is easy.
I dispose of Dig Rocket and give TM28 to Wartortle.

Misty goes down after several uses of Dig. Didn't even need to use Potions.

Nidoqueen gets Body Slam just in time for the S.S. Anne rival.
I have never seen so many OHKOs.

Since I'm in Blue, I have to grab a Bellsprout as an HM Slave.

Rock Tunnel is uneventful.

I grab Ice Beam from the Department Store and unlock Saffron.

I then proceed to thrown my promising career as a Trainer away in favor of becoming a horrifying PSA on the evils of gambling. Mm, gambling.
To fuel my insatiable addiction, I beat up some perfectly innocent mobsters for cash.
My newly-evolved Blastoise appreciates the experience.

My Rival is severely underleveled against L35 Nidoqueen and L36 Blastoise. I don't MEAN for this to be a Duo-Species Challenge, honest...
I proceed to beat up madwomen and mobsters for my gambling habit. Give... me... cash...
PokeFlute is obtained.

Finally, I achieve my TRUE objective: Buying Dratini. Manually.

That... took some doing. But it's the first time I've gotten to use the line in Gen 1, so I'm looking forward to it.
It immediately receives Ice Beam.

I get to Fuchsia and immediately go for the HMs. Blastoise receives both.
Dratini evolves, mercifully enough. The power difference is immediately noticeable.

I enter Silph Co. and blitz through it.
After a difficult battle against the Rival, I claim the fourth and final team member, Lapras.

I clear Sabrina's Gym, feeding Lapras some EXP, then head out to give it more EXP on Cycling Road.
Since part of the Biker code of conduct is that almost every Pokemon must be weak to Psychic (via TM), this is a cinch.

Koga manages to detonate his final Pokemon while Blastoise is underground, earning me the Soul Badge.

One long and nostalgic walk later, I hop on the Pallet-Cinnabar Blastoise ferry.
The Mansion provides great EXP for Lapras, getting it up to L34. I also put Surf on it because it needed strong STAB.
Blaine and co. get it up to L38, and it learns Ice Beam. TM21 gives it Thunderbolt, making it a Pokemon that can solo E4.

I'm so inspired that I give EVERY SINGLE POKEMON (other than the HM Slave) Surf.
This has the expected effect on Giovanni's Gym.

Rival's pre-Pokemon-League proves difficult, mainly because of Alakazam, but he goes down with some team effort.

*

I arrive at E4 with team members L43-45.
This run goes wrong due to Lance, Lance, Lance, and also Alakazam. I am very glad this is not a Nuzlocke.

At L43-L47, I retake the challenge.

Lorelei: Full Restore x1
Thunderbolt dominated this battle, with some Surfing to fill in the gaps.

Bruno: Full Restore x1, Revive x1
Surf, Surf, Surf. Pity Lapras is weak to Fighting AND Rock.

Agatha: Full Restore x1 (post-battle)
Full Restore x1 before Lance.
Dig spam wipes out all of her Pokemon except for Golbat, which went down to Surf. The only reason this took items at all was her Confuse Ray spam, which did an annoying number on Blastoise.

Lance: Full Restore x1 (post-battle)
I'm surprised the three extra levels made a difference. It also helped that he didn't score any critical hits this time...
Anyway, Thunderbolt for Gyarados, Ice Beam for the rest. I swapped to Blastoise's Surf to cope with Aerodactyl, but the RNG was in my favor for all the others. Lapras didn't faint once.

Rival: Full Restore x1, fainted two.
The extent to which Alakazam is luck-based is infernally annoying. And yes, it was luck this time, because it could have attempted a repeat of the previous team wipe if it had used Psychic every turn instead of wasting time on Disable and Psybeam. Or hit critical hits.
Thunderbolt/Ice Beam for Pidgeot, Blastoise's Strength (and then a Thunder Wave/Wrap takedown after Blastoise fainted) for Alakazam, Thunderbolt for Gyarados, Surf for Arcanine and Rhydon, Body Slam (and Ice Beam after Nidoqueen fainted) for Venusaur.

Not that I should be complaining. My Pokemon have reached the Hall of Fame!

Final Team:

Spoiler:

BlueOne the L51 Blastoise
Surf
Dig
Strength
Water Gun

BlueTwo the L44 Nidoqueen
Body Slam
Surf
Scratch
Poison Sting

BlueThree the L43 Dragonair
Wrap
Ice Beam
Thunder Wave
Surf

BlueFour the L51 Lapras

Not posting screenshots because I don't think I can yet (this is my first post), but I have them if needed.

Nice challenge!

I tend to like to do GBA games in between the super long DS runs, so here's the start of a Yellow Ultimate!

Hacked in a Psyduck at the beginning as per that one rule so Brock would be less of a pain.

Ultimate Purple Monocolor Challenge (White 2) First and FINAL Update (ULTIMATE COMPLETE!)

This run was surprisingly easy, yet still really fun. The happiness grinding I had to do when I evolved Dmitri made Return really strong for everybody by mid-game, and I was overleveled for the E4 just by like, playing the game. The only annoying part of the whole run was training up a Purrloin to take on the very first gym. Psyched to have another Ultimate under my belt though : D

P.S. Acrobatics Crobat is OP broken. No joke.
