[Challenge] Mono-Color Challenge

[jdthebud]

Update on Ultimate Monocolor Challenge (Green).

Final Update (#3) on HeartGold.

• Played a bunch of Battle Frontier so I could teach some moves and new EV berries.
• Taught Heat Wave to Quetzal and Bug Bite to Reaper.
• Took the S.S. Aqua to Kanto, and I quickly made my way down to Fushia City, where I went hunting for a Lucky Egg.
• After a few Chansey popped out, I got one to spawn with a Lucky Egg and stole it with Thief.
• Defeated Janine easily with Quetzal's Psychic (from the TM) since I was there already, then fixed the Power Plant.
• Woke up the Snorlax, stole the Leftovers, then killed it.
• Went to Pewter City, where Basil soloed Brock easily with Petal Dance.
• Moved on to Cerulean City, where I defeated Misty with Basil and Reaper.
• Lt. Surge was next, and T-Rex easily beat him with Earthquake.
• Trapper soloed Erika as well with Sleep Powder and Sludge Bomb.
• Quetzal then swept Sabrina with Shadow Ball.
• Surfed to Cinnabar Island, and T-Rex finally evolved into Tyranitar!
• Found Blaine in the Seafowm Islands, and swept him away with Kermit's Surf.
• After defeating all the trainers I could find in Kanto and beating the Elite Four a few more times, I took on Blue in Viridian City.
• He was tough and required a team effort, but I defeated him in the end.
• Defeated Clair and Lance in a double battle in the Dragon's Den, then defeated Silver's final team at the Pokemon League.
• Challenged the Elite Four with their upgraded teams, and defeated them all pretty handily. Quetzal did very well here.
• Then I took on Lance with my pretty underleveled team, and thanks to healing items and Kermit's Ice Beam, I was able to pull it out.
• I knew I needed to grind some more to prepare against Red, so I got all the gym leader numbers and battled them for a few days.
• Eventually I was able to get everybody to L75, and after teaching Basil AncientPower at the Battle Frontier, I was ready.
• I climbed Mt. Silver with T-Rex's Rock Climb to face off against Red. Here's a video and play-by-play of the battle:

Well, I've already finished LeafGreen. Played it alongside Gray on White too, because I got bored with it sometimes.

♦ I beat the first 3 gyms with Aspen the Pidgey/Pidgeotto/Pidgeot, because it actually evolved fully before beating Lt. Surge.
♦ Went through the Rock Tunnel and wanted to get a Cubone in the Pokémon Tower, but realized that I needed the Silph Scope for it.
♦ Got the Tea in Celadon City and shoved it down some guard's throat, so I could get to the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City and get myself a Hitmonlee. Named it Teak.
♦ Trained Teak up in the Rocket Hideout, and obtained the Silph Scope after beating Giovanni.
♦ Backtracked to the tower, battled my rival and then caught a Cubone. Named him Wenge.
♦ Battled with him on trainers I had previously skipped, and he evolved into a Marowak! Then I went back to Celadon, and destroyed Erika with Aspen.
♦ Headed along to Fuchsia City and caught Mahogany the Kangaskhan after some searching. I also got Surf.
♦ Used her on the route to the right of Fuchsia, and then took down the gym.
♦ Before going to Saffron, I flew to Pallet Town and surfed downwards to Cinnabar Island, where a scientist resurrected Kabuto from a fossil that I had picked up in Mt. Moon. Named it Carapa.
♦ Since Carapa was too weak to battle right away (only at Lv 5), I switched back and forth between him and Mahogany in the Pokémon Tower, to get some Special Attack EVs.
♦ At around Lv 25, I felt confident in taking on the Silph Co. building. On my merry way to the top, Carapa evolved into Kabutops!
♦ Finished it up and then defeated Sabrina.
♦ The rest of the game was easy, really. Nothing too exciting, so I'll skip to the Elite Four.
♦ Lorelei was swept by Teak alone.
♦ Bruno required everyone's help, due to Machamp and its Bulk Up.
♦ Agatha was pretty easy thanks to Mahogany's Shadow Ball.
♦ Lance was also pretty easy, Mahogany took down Gyarados and then Carapa swept with Surf and Ice Beam.
♦ The Champion was really annoying, lots of Revives and Full Restores kept him in his place though.

[Feraligatr13]

Sup jdthebud, I want to try your challenge (even though you didn't invent it) Also, I want to do two colors at the same time. I RNG'd Yellow based off of the Bulbapedia link you gave us. Also, I looked it up, and Purple's the opposite of Yellow on the color wheel, so Yellow and Purple are my two colors of choice. (I know I'm getting technical with this, but I get technical with a lot of things.)

Username: Samurott01
Game: For Yellow: (Red, Gold, Ruby, Diamond, Black), For Purple: (Blue, Silver, Sapphire, Pearl, White)
Color: Yellow and Purple
Ultimate?: Sí.

Alright, I'll release updates as often as possible. Peace!

 

[TwoFacedGaming2013]

This is a great idea, i think ill have to do this sometime. Probably gonna use either red or black on Silver...

I've been playing a lot of my monocolor challenges lately, and I completed Ruby not too long ago. Actually did that before Silver, but just for the sake of posting more organized and according to chronological order, I'll just update Silver first.

♦ Started up the game and began by catching a Sentret and a Spearow. Named them Maple and Spruce, respectively.
♦ Trained them up along the way to Violet City, and also in the Sprout Tower. Challenged Falkner and beat him.
♦ Continued south and caught a Geodude in the Union Cave. Named it Boxelder.
♦ Thanks to its typing, the Slowpoke Well and Azalea City Gym were no match.
♦ Battled my rival and went through the Ilex Forest, to reach Goldenrod City.
♦ Bought some TMs in the Department Store, and then challenged Whitney and won.
♦ Trekked north and caught a Pinsir in the Bug Catching Contest, whom I named Hemlock.
♦ Took on the Kimono Girls in the Ecruteak Dance Theater, beat my rival in the Burnt Tower and crushed Morty with Boxelder.
♦ Made my way to Olivine, climbed the Lighthouse and found out that I needed to cure Amphy.
♦ Surfed to Cianwood City, and challenged the gym while I was there. Chuck was a piece of cake thanks to Spruce.
♦ Got the medicine, flew back to Olivine and healed up Amphy. Jasmine went back to the gym, so I went there as well and defeated her.
♦ Went east of Ecruteak to Mahogany Town, and up to the Lake Of Rage. Caught the Red Gyarados to have as an HM Slave, replacing Croconaw.
♦ Infiltrated Rocket's Hideout with Lance, and got Whirlpool. Beat the gym with Hemlock.
♦ Prof. Elm called and said I should go to the Radio Tower in Goldenrod, so that's what I did. Found out that Rockets had invaded the place, so I went and took down the entire organization for good. Got a Silver Wing for my trouble. Thanks, Director.
♦ Went through the Ice Path east of Mahogany, and reached Blackthorn. Took on the gym, but was unable to beat Clair due to her Kingdra. Trained my team up a bit and then pulled it off.
♦ Since Clair wouldn't give me the badge unless I brought her a Dragon Fang, I went to the Dragon's Den and found one. Was rewarded with the badge and a TM that I'll never use.
♦ I could now use Waterfall outside of battle, so I went to Mt. Mortar and hunted down the Karate King. Defeated him and got a Tyrogue as my reward. Named it Rimu.
♦ After some vitamin abuse and level grinding, Rimu evolved into Hitmontop! Too bad I haven't even used it in battle yet
♦ Went to the Pokémon League, and brought down each member one by one. Easily.
♦ Lance wasn't tough, Maple and Boxelder had supereffective hits on all of his Pokémon, so he went down pretty quickly.
♦ About to go to Kanto.

Team:

Maple the Furret, Lv 48 (♀)
Item: NeverMeltIce
Headbutt, ThunderPunch, Shadow Ball, Ice Punch

• Went north through the Weather Institute and defeated May before getting to Fortree City.
• After I got the Devon Scope, I caught Chameleon the Kecleon. Trained her up on trainers I skipped before.
• While in the gym, SpeedRacer evolved into Sceptile! Winona wasn't too difficult with my team pretty high leveled.
• Moved south to Lilycove City, skipping the trainers I could. Went into the Safari Zone, where I caught Quetzal the Natu.
• Taught Quetzal Psychic, which I bought from the Game Corner, then went back to those trainers.
• While I was doing that, both Quetzal and Dragonfly evolved into Xatu and Vibrava!
• Taught Dragonfly Fly, then went to Mt. Pyre, where I got the Magma Emblem.
• Found the Magma Hideout on Mt. Chimney, and defeated Maxie at the end of it.
• Now it was time to defeat Team Aqua at their Hideout in Lilycove, which I did, then Surfed to Mossdeep City.
• Took on the gym and defeated Tate & Liza without much trouble.
• Defeated Team Magma again at the Space Center with Steven's help, then got the Dive HM.
• Used Dive to find the Water Stone in the Abandoned Ship and used it on Pineapple, who evolved into Ludicolo!
• Went Diving and found the Underwater Cavern, where I beat Archie for the only time (wish you battled both leaders twice).
• Defeated all the trainers I could find on the water, then went to Sootopolis, where I talked to Wallace about Rayquaza.
• Went to the Sky Pillar to waken Rayquaza, then back to Sootopolis to watch the cutscene.
• Took on the gym, and Dragonfly evolved into Flygon!
• Juan was easy enough, his Kingdra didn't get enough Double Teams off. Pineapple and SpeedRacer combined to win.
• Did a bunch of EV training, then went to Victory Road.
• Defeated Wally easily with Quetzal at the beginning, then made my way through to the top of Ever Grande City.
• Used Rare Candies to get everyone to L52, then took on the Elite Four.
• Sidney was too easy with Puncher using a couple Bulk Ups, then Mach Punch swept.
• Pheobe was then swept by Chameleon, who used Substitute and Shadow Ball to great effect.
• Galcia was swept by Puncher, who used Sky Uppercut on her whole team.
• Drake was a little harder. Everyone besides Chameleon and Puncher got some licks in.
• Finally, Wallace was up. Here's a video and play-by-play of the battle:

[Halfcadence]

Yayyyy it's about time I got around to finishing this run B )

Ultimate Red Monocolor Challenge Platinum Update #3 (FINAL)

-Once I got Surf, I went straight to Fuego Ironworks and picked my old buddy Stannis the Magmar and the TM for Flamethrower
-Took Stannis out of the PC and immediately Pokesav'd him into Magmortar since I already have the Magmarizer : D
-Also went around and got the TMs for Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, and Light Screen, all for Casper : )
-Dhyana evolved into a Medicham while training in Iron Island
-Also got the Metal Coat in Iron Island, so I could evolve Umberto into a Scizor : D
-Stannis and Dhyana ate Byron for Breakfast
-Got some Heart Scales so I could teach Umberto Bullet Punch and Dhyana Ice Punch B)
-Dealt with the legendary bullpoo that I don't care about
-Stannis and Umberto completely beasted the Candice fight
-Went around getting the TMs for Earthquake and Psychic, both to teach to Stannis, the latter of which seems like a really odd thing for him to be able to learn, but I can live with it :P
-blahblahblah legendary stuff
-The Volkner fight came down to Stannis being the last poke standing and living with 2 HP. Super close.
-Got through Victory Road, grinded everyone to at least 50, then got sick of grinding and gave the E4 a shot

-Casper and Stannis took out Aaron for the most part, with Dhyana sniping a kill on Heracross while he healed
-Bertha was easy, with Starkly seeing most of the action
-Flint was the trickiest fight yet, perhaps a bit surprisingly so
-Umberto took out most of Lucien's crew, with Stannis and Casper also making appearances. Let me tell you, it felt dammmmn good to get a burn off on Gallade B )
-Not gonna lie, I saved right before Cynthia and had to reset a few times before I got the perfect battle. And man, when I got it, it was beautiful. It involved teaching Attract to Starkly right before the fight to immobilize Garchomp to be able to get her down. Stannis also had some beautiful confusion hax, a couple involving him being able to take down Milotic with Psychics without getting hit by any water. Perfect battle, even if it took a couple times to get. No shame.

1) Apologies for the double post, combine them if you must. It has been a couple days since I posted last, though.
2) I dont have the patience/willpower to play a DS game right now, so I did another Gen III game to tide me over.

Doing a double update this time, for Silver and Ruby. Just for the sake of it not being too long, I won't go in that much on details.

♦ After defeating Lance, I started my journey in Kanto.
♦ ...Well, haven't really got much to say. I beat all of the gyms, fairly easy as well due to my well-rounded team.
♦ When I defeated Blue, I went on to train for Red. Got everyone up to Lv 60, and then took him on. He was a bit more challenging than usual, but it worked out fine.

♦ Beat the first gym with it, and then caught a new one in the Granite Cave. Caught an Abra as well. Named them Larch and Cypress, respectively.
♦ Trained them up a bit, and then took on Dewford. Once that was out of the way, we continued our adventure.
♦ Way up in the Fiery Path, I caught a Torkoal that I named Locust. Soon after, Afzelia the Spinda joined our team.
♦ Smacked down leaders and trainers left and right, my team was pretty solid. I still decided to add Doduo when I got to the Safari Zone, whom I named Meranti.
♦ I had to grind everyone up about 5 levels before taking on the Elite Four. I also did some moveset finalizing.
♦ The Elite Four wasn't too difficult if I recall correctly. Steven was tricky though, mainly his Metagross, but victory was ours.

Welp, started my Diamond adventure.

♦ Picked Chimchar as my starter, named him Camphor. Just under Jubilife City, I caught a Starly that I named Hickory.
♦ Went along to Oreburgh City, and went into the mine to find Roark. While in there, Camphor evolved into a Monferno!
♦ Took on Roark and defeated him easily thanks to Mach Punch.
♦ On the way to Floaroma Town, I beat up some Galactic Grunts. Hickory evolved into a Staravia as well.
♦ After meddling some more in Galactic's affairs in Floaroma, I moved on to Eterna Forest, where I caught a Buneary. Named her Araucaria.
♦ Trained her up in the forest, and eventually reached Eterna City. Took down the gym, which was super easy since I had both Camphor and Hickory.
♦ Team Galactic were at it again, so I brought them all down one more time in their hideout.
♦ Went down the Cycling Road, crossed Mt. Coronet and got to Hearthome City. Nothing interesting there except for a rival battle, so I quickly moved on to Solaceon Town.
♦ Took on all the trainers around the routes, bought some Moomoo Milk, and ended up in Veilstone City.
♦ Challenged the gym and won again thanks to the combo of Camphor and Hickory.
♦ About to help Dawn with the Galactic Grunts outside the storage.

Alright, so my computer is being stupid, so i'm doing the Johto leg of my Purple Monocolor on my actual cartridge for once. Because of this, I obviously won't have any screens, but I'm also gonna switch to doing lots of smaller updates because I also don't have access to the Word document where I keep all of my notes so I want to post stuff before I forget. So, without further ado...

Ultimate Purple Monocolor Challenge HeartGold Update #1

Starter: Totodile
Rival: Infared

-Got to Dark Cave with Totodile, after which I caught the first member of the team, our buddy Wedge the Zubat
-Falkner was a bit tought because, well, Lv.13 Zubat :p. It took a couple shots, but i got lucky with confusion hax. The X Accuracy helped, too
-Bugsy was simple, because at that point Wedge was Lv. 19 and had Wing Attack
-Wedge evolved into Golbat on Route 34 whilst looking for out second team member, Walnut the Pineco. Headbutting is annoying.

The Team:

♦ Took care of the Galactic Grunts and helped Dawn retrieve her Pokédex.
♦ Made my way south to get to Pastoria City, and picked up a Hippopotas on the way. Named him Palisander.
♦ Trained it up along the route, and went through the route under Hearthome City as well, just for some extra experience.
♦ Defeated Crasher Wake in the gym, and then chased down a Galactic Grunt with a bomb.
♦ Eventually brought him down, and Cythia told me to go to Celestic Town, so that's what I did.
♦ Went into the ruins and got Surf from Cynthia's grandma.
♦ Flew to Hearthome and challenged the gym. Palisander was great here with Bite.
♦ After Fantina was taken care of, I went on some Surf sidequests, where Camphor, Hickory and Palisander all evolved!
♦ Araucaria evolved as well, on the way to Canalave City.
♦ Battled my rival and took on the gym, which was a piece of cake thanks to Camphor and Palisander.
♦ Sailed to Iron Island for some training, and later went to Lake Valor since Rowan told me so.
♦ Defeated the Galactic Commander Saturn, and then went home for a quick trip to Lake Verity, where Mars was strutting around like she owned the place. Swept her and continued to the third and final lake, located next to Snowpoint City.
♦ The entrance was blocked, so I took on the gym instead. Candice didn't stand a chance against Camphor.
♦ With Candice defeated, I could access Lake Acuity, where my rival and Commander Jupiter were already arguing.
♦ After that, I flew to Veilstone to storm Galactic's Hideout. Took a while, but managed to do it.
♦ Went up to the Spear Pillar to confront Galactic one final time, with some help from my rival. I also ran away from Dialga.
♦ With that out of the way, Sunyshore City was my next stop. Found the gym leader and persuated him to have a battle with me, and then whooped him. Ain't that something
♦ Later, Jasmine gave me Waterfall, which granted me permission to make it to the Victory Road and Pokémon League.
♦ Everyone got up to about Lv 50 when I was done in the Road, and then I used some Rare Candies.
♦ Aaron was easy thanks to Camphor.
♦ Bertha was taken care of by Palisander and Araucaria.
♦ Flint required a team effort.
♦ Lucian surprisingly got beaten by Camphor, thanks to his Shadow Claw.
♦ Next up was Cynthia, who didn't put up much of a fight.
