Spoiler:

This challenge was a lot of fun, and I'm glad it went so well. : ) I also think that I'm the first in this thread to complete a FireRed yellow challenge rather than a LeafGreen yellow challenge. : D The Ninetails/Sandslash exclusives may be tempting in LeafGreen, but Electabuzz is totally worth the horrible struggle to get to him.

Final Team:

Lv55 Bumble Jab (Male)
Nature: Careful
Moveset: Giga Drain, Brick Break, Twineedle, Aerial Ace

Lv56 Greedy Cat (Male)
Nature: Modest
Moveset: Thunderbolt, Dig, Shadow Ball, Water Pulse

Ultimate Purple Monocolor Challenge HeartGold Update #4

Badges: 8

-Bruce evolved into Weezing in the basement of the Rocket thing in Goldenrod
-Did some PokeAthalon-ing so I purchase a Water Stone with which to evolve Cooper into a Cloyster
-Spent a few more hours Voltorb Flipping so I could teach Cooper Ice Beam
-With Ice Beam in hand, Claire was pretty easy
-Did Victory Road, grinded everyone up to around Lv.40, then did some moveset editing before taking on the E4! Should have grinded more, but I got bored of it.

-Will was obviously tough, with 3/5 of my team being weak to Psychic and me being slightly underleveled for this. Dmitri and Cooper were the MVPs
-Koga wasn't terrible, but it was by no means a sweep. Bruce ended up being the MVP
-Bruno also wasn't as easy as you would expect. Wedge was the most help, closely followed by Bruce, the defensive wall that he is
-Karen turned out to be the easiest of the bunch, requiring only Robert and Wedge to take her out. Robert was an absolute beast, taking out Umbreon AND Houndoom all from behind a single Substitute
-Lance was a slow and laborious task that involved lots of Revives and potion stalling, but it eventually got done.

Mono-Colour Yellow: Pokemon Gold Update #1
Chapter 1: A Whole New World

• Picked Cyndaquil as my starter, and named it "FireSqueak"
• Obtained Pokedex and Mystery Egg, fought Rival "Carlos", and delivered the Mystery Egg to Elm. (Carlos is my little nod to the hilariously stupid fanficton character "Carlos" in the RomHack "Pokemon Shiny Gold")
• Entered Dark Cave to start the long quest of finding a Dunsparce.
• Found a Dunsparce after only about 15 minutes, which is actually really fast. Was able to capture it, and named it "DrillDozer" It was also a female, which was good since Whitney's Miltank wouldn't be able to use Attract on it.
• Fought my way through Sprout Tower, leveling up along the way.
• Fought the Violet City gym by spamming Drilldozer's rage attack. Those birds didn't stand a chance.
• Worked my way towards Union Cave ignoring Mareep along the way.
• traversed through Union cave, ignoring Sandshrew along the way.
• Beat up Team Rocket in Slowpoke well. Gold/HeartGold are the only games the evil organization stuff is tolerable since there isn't a ton of it, and at least Team Rocket in Johto has lots of great music attached to them.
• Accidently triggered the fight with Carlos, and thankfully won.
• FireSqueak burned down Bugsy's gym.
• Went through Ilex Forest, got the Headbutt TM, and caught an Oddish to use as a Flash/Cut Slave.
• After exiting Ilex Forest, I caught a Drowzee and named it "Mindmelter"
• Went to the Goldenrod department store and bought two headbutt TMs, and an Ice Punch TM. (all three Party Members learned Headbutt, and Mindmelter learned Ice Punch)
• Fought a bunch of trainers including the Goldenrod gym trainers to level grind all of my Pokemon to level 20.
• DrillDozer made quick work of Whitney by spamming Rage. Clefairy's doubleslap quickly built up DrillDozer's rage, and when Miltank used Rollout, the battle was essentially over. There you have the easiest way to beat Whitney. : )
• Picked up the Rollout TM, and taught it to DrillDozer.
• Fought Sudowoodo with Mindmelter. Managed to freeze it with Ice Punch, and was able to use Confusion until I knocked it out.
• Fought all the trainers in the Ecruteak Gym with Mind Melter and FireSqueak.
• Morty was a pain in the butt, but I was able to eventually beat him with a lot of good luck where Gengar's Hypnosis kept missing, and DrillDozer's Rollout was able to power up. Went into the fight with FireSqueak paralyzed so he could fight Morty's first Haunter without being put to sleep.
• Fought the Kimono Girls and got HM03.

And now you're caught up to where I left off!

 

[Chevitile]

Platinum done!

♦ Chose Piplup as my starter, named him Podeni. Caught Mendesian the Shinx soon after.
♦ Beat Roark easily with Podeni, and then went to Floaroma Town.
♦ Took care of Mars in the Valley Windworks and then proceeded through Eterna Forest to Eterna City.
♦ Gardenia was super annoying with Leech Seed and paralyzing, so I trained up some more and then beat her without difficulty.
♦ Took down Jupiter in the Hideout in Eterna, and then biked down the Cycling Road and eventually reached Hearthome City after some more wandering.
♦ Fantina went down easily thanks to Mendesian's Bite.
♦ Reached Veilstone City after a lot of trainers and walking. Defeated Maylene in the gym with both Podeni and Mendesian.
♦ Skipped almost every trainer on my way to Pastoria, since my team was overlevelled and I wanted to save some EXP for my next member.
♦ After Crasher Wake was defeated, I took care of the bomb business and then went to the foggy route to catch a Swablu! Named it Danube.
♦ Trained him up on the trainers I previously skipped, and then continued to Celestic Town where I beat Cyrus and got Surf.
♦ Before doing Surf sidequests, I went to Canalave, battled my rival and sailed to Iron Island. Got the egg from Riley there and hatched it, then equipped the Exp. Share onto the newly-born Riolu (named Turyan) and did the Surf sidequests.
♦ Challenged Byron and won easily with all my advantages over his typing.
♦ Meddled in Galactic's affairs and trekked north to Snowpoint City, where I crushed Candice and chased after Galactic some more.
♦ My next destination was Veilstone's Galactic HQ. Ransacked the place and beat some leaders, set the lake guardians free and climbed up to Spear Pillar to foil Galactic's plans.
♦ After going into the Distortion World and KOing Giratina, I went to Lake Valor and caught Azelf. Named it Lyari.
♦ Whooped some trainers on my way to Sunyshore City, cheered Volkner up and then beat him, earning my final badge in Sinnoh.
♦ Surfed up to Victory Road's entrance, went through it and ended up at the Pokémon League.
♦ Battled my rival, bought some healing items and then stepped in.
♦ Aaron was easy thanks to Danube's Flamethrower.
♦ Bertha was taken care of by Podeni and Lyari.
♦ Flint was a team effort.
♦ Lucian was swept by Lyari.
♦ Cynthia caused some problems, mainly with Togekiss and Lucario. I stood as the champion in the end, though.

Ultimate Purple Monocolor Challenge HeartGold Update #5 (FINAL)

Badges: 16

-Got to Johto, and the first thing I did was deal with the Power Plant stuff and got my Radio Card Expansion
-Caught a Compoundeyes Venonat, a Frisky Stantler that I taught Thief, exploited swarms, then went on the hunt for a Chansey holding a Lucky Egg. Finally got one after about a half hour of looking
-Beat all of the Gym Leaders, then rounded them up in the Fighting Dojo (excluding Lt. Surge, Claire and Blue, because I'm lazy) and beat them again :)
-Gathered up an army of Lv. 41 Aipom with the Pickup ability so while I grinded I got some Rare Candies now and again. It helped A LOT!
-Whilst grinding outside Mt. Silver, I got a complete surprise and found a shiny Tangela! Caught her and named her Medusa :)
-Grinded everyone to Lv. 70 then took on Red. The fight was actually not bad at all for once. I mean, some items were tossed around obviously, but my strategies worked, too. Sunny Day'd early so there was a possiblity for Blizzard misses (there were quite a few), Light Screen + Light Clay from Dmitri, and Confuse Rays from the fast-as-anything Wedge were the highlights.

-Del evolved into a Krokorok in Clay's Gym
-Clay himself was pretty easy. Hi Jump Kicks for everyone!

-Even after training up a bit more in Celestial Tower, Skyla still ended up being pretty tough, mostly because of her Swanna, who had STAB on my entire team. Needless to say, items were used
-Got a decent amount of free grinding done in Reversal Mountain, during which Del evolved into Krookodile and Rooney evolved into Scrafty : D : D

-Dealt with some legendary story stuff (ugh) then got to Humilau City
-Marina Bullet Seeded her way through the gym then her and Rooney took out Marlon without an issue
-Dealt with a BUNCH more story stuff, but I take back my "ugh", the story for this game are actually pretty sweet
-Did some moveset editing, then went through Victory Road, which was actually kind of rough, probably because I wandered around a bit too much instead of getting right to the point

-Marshal wasn't terrible. Marina took out the first couple, then Del came in and had some nice confusion hax to get the victory
-Grimsley was easy. Atlas set up with Shell Smash and took out the first three and then Boone came in and finished the job.

Update on Ultimate Monocolor Challenge (Yellow).

Update #1 on Platinum.

Name: Sunny
Rival: Barry
Starter: Turtwig

• Started with Turtwig, and after I got to Oreburgh City, I caught Spirit the Ponyta.
• Roark was really tough but I was eventually able to win thanks to a ton of Potions and Growl (lol).
• Moved on to Florama Town and caught a male Burmy off a Honey Tree, then defeated Mars in the Valley Windworks.
• Soon afterwards, Burmy evolved into Mothim!
• Went through Eterna Forest to Eterna City, and renamed Mothim Baggins.
• Took on the gym, and Baggins won easily with Bug Bite and Confusion.
• Defeated Jupiter in the TG Eterna building, then headed down Cycling Road.
• Went through Mt. Coronet to Hearthome City, where I got Shock the Eevee from Bebe. Then we explored Wayward Cave.
• Went back to Hearthome and challenged the gym. Fantina was tough, but we beat her with a team effort.
• Moved on to Solaceon Town, and after grabbing the Thunderstone in the Ruins, Shock evolved into Jolteon!
• Headed to Veilstone City, then skipped down to the Valor Lakefront, where I caught YingYang the Girafarig.
• Continued on to Route 213 and caught Seabreeze the Wingull, then backtracked to Veilstone City to take on the gym.
• YingYang (Psybeam) and Spirit (Fire Blast) took down the entire gym and Maylene with ease.
• Went back south to Pastoria City and beat all the trainers around the city, including Barry.
• Wake was not hard to beat.
• Defeated the Grunt who bombed the Great Marsh, then headed north from Solaceon to Celestic Town.
• Beat another bomb-toting Grunt, then Shock took down Cyrus easily.
• Got the Surf HM, and used it to explore all the water routes now accessible, then headed to Canalave City.
• Defeated Barry, then took on the gym, and YingYang (Earthquake) combined with Seabreeze (Brine) to beat Byron.
• Got the Strength HM from Riley (skipped Iron Island for now), then felt Team Galactic blow up Lake Valor.
• Went to investigate and defeated Saturn, then helped Lucas out and defeated Mars as well.
• Made the trek to Snowpoint City, where Shock (Double Kick) and Spirit (Flame Wheel/Flare Blitz) easily took down Candice.
• Having learned Flare Blitz at L46, directly after the battle, Spirit evolved into Rapidash!
• Visited Lake Acuity and found out that TG was up to no good in Veilstone City, so I headed there.
• While I was in the Warehouse, Seabreeze finally learned Air Slash at L47, and evolved into Pelipper!
• Eventually found Cyrus, and defeated him easily with Shock's Double Kick and Thunder.
• Beat Saturn again and released the Lake Trio, then started to climb up Mt. Coronet after Cyrus.
• I am saved in Mt. Coronet.

I'm finally making this an ultimate, so I can say I finished at least one color. I've got a question though. I was planning to use a Rotom in Platinum and I was wondering if I could 'hack' in the event to make it a Fan Rotom. The color stays the same I guess and it wouldn't be any problem if I couldn't, but I thought it'd be better to ask.

If you can activate the event to get the Secret Key (which unlocks the room IIRC), then sure, especially since the type doesn't change IIRC. There are Mystery Gift programs you can use for that I believe. Another example of this kind of "event hacking" is to get Zorua/Zoroark in B/W, which I used in my Gray Monocolor.

FOR EVERYONE TO READ!!!:

Also, I have been thinking about this for a while now, but over in the Monotype thread run by NecrumWarrior, there is a rule that one additional Pokemon can be traded in if it's not in your game, as long as it is part of the regional Pokedex (such as version exclusives and the fossil pokemon in B2/W2). It must be at a lower level than your weakest team member, or an egg (strongly preferred method).

I like how this works for the Monotype, and am considering adding this rule here. Any thoughts on this? I am inclined to add it unless a lot of people object to it.

 

[Halfcadence]

One of my favorite parts of this challenge is teambuilding, as this can a lot of the time be more challenging, or at least more strategic, than actually playing the challenge. A fairly large aspect of the teambuilding process is choosing which game from each generation to play. For instance, when I start up the gen IV leg of my purple challenge I'm going to do it on Pearl as that is the only gen IV game where Misdreavus is available. Doing this eliminates the possibilty of using Espeon, as you only get the free Eevee in Platinum. Those sort of choices are always super intriguing for me to sit and puzzle out, figuring out the risks vs. rewards. I personally feel that the new rule implementation would subtract from the "challenge" of the teambuilding process. Of course, I wouldn't stop doing the challenge because of it, but my official vote is still no.

 

[Hann]

Like Huggermugger I really like the teambuilding. I too think this rule would take away the challenge and choices you have to take whilst building your team. But I can also see where some people would prefer this rule as it makes challenges where fewer pokémon are available a bit 'easier'. Just like the choice between Espeon and Misdreavus, you have to choose between Honchkrow and Houndoom in a Black Mono Color in Sinnoh. I'm not really inclined to use it if you decide to put it in (I might), but I can see where it comes in handy. I wouldn't be disappointed either way, but I'm gonna vote yes, 'cause even if the rule's there you won't have to use it.
