    In keeping with this month's challenge event, I thought it'd be cool if we expanded the Green & Gold challenge to include all colors, and all games. the premise is simple: Beat a game with Pokemon of only one Pokedex color.

    Lucky Break clause: If you find a shiny Pokemon (WITHOUT HACKING) of a color that matches your challenge, you can use it! (For example, if you are doing a Grey challenge and come across a shiny Vulpix, you can catch it and use it, since Ninetales' shiny color is grey.)

    Emulators/trading/hacking allowed, as long as you don't hack more than 2 Pokemon and you're not fixing shininess.

    Duplicates allowed! Due to the restrictive nature of some of the colors, it may be almost a requirement.

    Your team must number at least 3. You wanna do a solo run, go to that thread.

    Challenge ends:
    Kanto: Beat the Elite 4.
    Johto: Beat Red.
    Hoenn: Beat Steven.
    Sinnoh: Beat the Elite 4 a second time.
    Unova: Beat the Elite 4 a second time.

    Legendaries are strongly discouraged. If you feel you must, then you're only allowed 1, and it can't ever be higher level than the rest of your team. If you catch it too high leveled, you can't use it until your team catches up.

    ~TWO WAYS TO CHALLENGE~

    Way 1: Single colored Pokemon. Pick a color, pick any game, go. Fairly simple.

    Way 2, the Perfect Match Challenge!: The color you pick decides your game. Here's the list:

    Red/Fire Red/Ruby: Color RED.
    Blue/Sapphire: Color BLUE.
    Green/Leaf Green/Emerald: Color GREEN.
    Yellow: Color YELLOW.
    Gold/Heart Gold: You may choose! Either YELLOW or BROWN.
    Silver/Soul Silver: Color GREY.
    Diamond: You may choose! Either GREY or BLUE.
    Pearl: You may choose! Either PINK or PURPLE.
    Platinum: You may choose! GREY, BLACK, or WHITE.
    Black: Color BLACK.
    White: Color WHITE.

    TO ALL THOSE WHO DID THE GREEN, GOLD, AND BOOZE CHALLENGE:
    You may count your challenge if and only if:
    1. You haven't finished it.
    AND/OR
    2. You want to complete an ultimate by doing a Sinnoh game in green or gold.
    This is to prevent people from posting here only once, asking to be put on the 'Champs' section.

    Challengers:
    AyameHikaru, Sapphire (Perfect Match)
    MythologicalHAX, Yellow (Color Blue)
    Pokepokemo, Platinum (Color Green)
    Hikari10, Soul Silver (Color Blue)

    Champions:
    LauretheLoner, Moemon Fire Red (Color Blue)

    As stated just above, I will be taking Sapphire and using Blue Pokemon. Expected team: Swampert, Altaria, Walrein, Exploud.

    Do I get a credit for this challenge if I did the St. Patty's event? :P I might do this on silver. Don't put me down yet, though, I'm still deciding on what challenge to do after I finish the Ones Who Got Away...
     
    OK I DONT CARE IM UPDATING!!!
    Spoiler:


    WOW THAT was a long one but it was fun hope you guys enjoy!

    Just so you know Notblue is orange, I'm blue, and Brock is gray
     
    Well....

    I can't make up my mind between spending my time playing another hack, or doing one of these challenges, so I will do both

    For whatever reason, I've been wanting to replay Fire Red, but have it a bit different so I downloaded a hack called Moemon where all the pokemon are like Chibi girls I've been wanting an excuse to play this so it looks like this challenge will be perfect.

    I'll be playing Moemon using monocolor blue

    So far in Kanto I have 2 badges

    and 2 pokes

    Gloom Lv. 21

    Wartortle Lv. 27

    Can't evolve Gloom or it becomes a red pokemon so its stuck like that forever. Off to find Nidoran Female

    And all these Moemon are sooooooooooooo cute

    UPDATE TIME!!!

    Spoiler:
     
    @Mytho: Sure, you can do an Ultimate. :)

    @Cygnus: Not if you've already completed it. If it's still in progress, though, it's fine.

    UPDATE
    Started my game. Chose Mudkip, named him Robert. Did all the beginning stuff, blah blah. But then, I was training on Route 102, and.... a SURSKIT popped up! O.O That's... unexpected. At that point Mudkip would have killed it with basically any attack, so I had no choice but to toss a ball.... and another... and another... and ANOTHER. Finally, it was caught. :) Hey, another team option! Named her Lida, and continued on.

    Robert the Mudkip Lv. 12
    Lida the Surskit Lv. 3
     
    Just reached Lavender town with my group of 3 blue pokes, plus an Oddish with flash. Nothing like a blue HM Slave.

    While fighting through that cave Wartortle evolved :D I almost posted a picture of Moemon Bastoise but I need a few more post

    Those Moemon, and since I was too lazy to catch a Nidoran female I wound up trading a male for one, and right now its being disobident. ;_; I needs to work on the next badge.

    I also got to the name rater, so my line up is this.

    Emily (Gloom) Lv. 31
    Levithan (Blastioise) Lv. 36
    MS. NIDO (Nidoqueen) Lv. 31

    I don't feel like changing out of my pajamas or leaving my room today so I might beat this game.
     
    To expand on what Cygnus said, does it count as 'still in progress' if you already beat the ultimate St.Patrick's Day challenge, but you decide to play through Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum with green pokemon? The USPD challenge didn't include any of those three games, so it wasn't technically a true 'ultimate'.
    Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say.
     
    I do understand, Inferno. The only thing I don't want is people posting "O hai I finished already and this is my first post here." So yeah, since the ultimate GGB didn't include a Sinnoh, if you do a Sinnoh and you've done the GGB that's fine. :) I'll put that in the first post.
     
    Woot team update :D

    Levithan (Blastoise) Lv. 45
    Emily (Gloom) Lv. 41
    Aeris (Dragonair) Lv. 42
    Ms. Nido (Nidoqueen) Lv. 47

    Right now I'm dealing with Sliph co. drama, but I think that once I defeat Sabrina I'm going to go pursue Articuno and put it on my team. Not doing it because its a blue legend and my team needs some powa, but because it is pretty and I need a flying type :x
     
    Wellz I beat my first challenge. Gloom, Articuno, Dragonair, Blastoise, and Nidoqueen. Unforuntley I was using save states the whole time since I couldn't save on the ipod due to it being a hack..... and I can't continue after elite four because I can't continue after the credits ;_; bleh

    But monocolor was fun and I am totally thinking about doing it again, but an ultimate. I'll post when I figure out which one I wanna do
     
    Sweet, thanks for being the first champion!

    EDIT: Update! Despite the fact that I caught a Surskit, I'm not really inclined to use her... :/ So I'm not. Still soloing with Robert for now. I massively overleveled him on the first few routes, caught a Wingull for HM use, and went through the forest. I SLAUGHTERED Roxie. I missed a OHKO on Nosepass by a hair. Anyway, emerged with my badge, beat up some bad guys, and am now in Dewford.

    Team:
    Robert the L. 22 Marshtomp
    Tara the L. 10 Whismur
    Wingull (HM Slave)
    Lida the L. 4 Surskit (Boxed)

    EDIT2:
    (No one else is posting, and I don't want to double post... T.T)

    Beat Brawly, played messenger boy x2, beat Wattson. Currently on Fiery Path. Loudred is surprisingly strong! O.o

    Team:
    Robert the L. 28 Marshtomp
    Tara the L. 29 Loudred
    Wingull (HM Slave)
    Zigzagoon (HM Slave)

    Pretty soon I'm gonna catch a Swablu! Yay!

    EDIT3: (Wow, no one wants to do this...)

    Made my way up to Meteor Falls, and caught a SWABLU! Yay! Squished some grunts at the top o' the volcano. Heading now to squish Flannery with my awesome Marshtomp. :) Swampert is coming!

    Team:
    Robert the L. 31 Marshtomp
    Tara the L. 29 Loudred
    Swablu (Forgot to name, LOL) the L. 20 Swablu
