    HEY, CHAMP TO BE, Welcome To The HeartGold/SoulSilver MONOTYPE CHALLENGE! This is a challenge where you will have to complete either game using ONE type only. Refer to the rules below before posting something that could easily be answered.

    Rules:
    1) Dual-Types are allowed.
    2) You have beat your challenge when you defeat the Ellite Four, the Champion and ALL of the Gym Leaders, both Johto and Kanto. Don't forget red either.
    3) You are allowed to do one type, even if someone else is.
    4) It isn't a race, so no need to rush!
    5) No trading please, unless it is for evolution purposes (There are exceptions to this).
    6) Obviously, no cheating or hacking.
    7) You may use emulators.
    8) Only use Pokemon under your type
    9) At least one Pokemon, must be caught before Violet City. If you have not caught a Pokemon of your type by then, use your starter until you do.
    10) Please update frequently, and when you do, try to include what you've done, your team so far, and try to make it interesting.
    11) No Legendaries.
    12) If your team doesn't have a Pokemon that can use HM moves that you need, you are allowed 1-2 HM slaves that will be able to do those things.
    13) You can have a Pokemon that isn't your type if it will evolve into that type at some stage
    14) Have fun!
    15)If you have a question, contact me via VM, PM, or on this thread.
    16)ABSOLUTELY NO RULE BREAKING. I've completed this challenge before and I know it's possible without cheating. I'm considering a No tolerance policy so be wise and play clean.
    17)Egg Rule
    Spoiler:


    It is recommended you pick Totodile as a starter since he learns 4 of the 8 HM's. (1,3,5,7) Thanks to Porygon z for pointing that out.

    You could just post your progress. That keeps the thread around and hopefully it attracts more challengers to compete and who knows, eventually we could add in prizes, etc.

    I will start out with a starter (obviously) and catch a Spinarak and a Caterpie and evolve them before Violet gym for my first installment of the challenge (Scyther and Heracross will have to wait a bit).



    My entry from the previously locked thread. I haven't updated yet, so that's what I plan to do here.




    ~All went as planned and I caught a Spinarak and a Caterpie and a Sentret (soon to be HM slave) before the first Gym and placed my starter in storage.
    ~I evolved the Caterpie into a Butterfree, making Faulkner a walk in the park.
    ~The trip through Union Cave was a challenge to say the least, with the Rock Pokemon and the Fire Breathers...
    ~I finally made it to Azalea and saved the Slowpoke. I went into the Gym and beat Bugsy (Butterfree learned Gust and made him easy).
    ~I made my way to Ilex Forest and had to fight my rival before going inside... My rival, Silver, had a Quilava by this time, and proved a worthy opponent (I still won though).
    ~Ilex Forest wasn't anything special, and I caught a Paras too!
    ~I taught the Sentret from before Headbutt which allowed me to catch a Heracross on Route 33.
    ~My Sentret evolved into a Furret and I now have my HM slave.
    ~I am now at the base of Goldenrod on Route 34, training my Heracross for the fight with Whitney. It has just learned Brick Break and will prove useful.

    My team is as follows:

    Heracross Level 19:
    Brick Break
    Aerial Ace
    Horn Attack
    Endure

    Butterfree Level 20:
    Tackle
    Sleep Powder
    Gust
    Confusion

    Spinarak Level 20:
    Poison Sting
    Night Shade
    Leech Life
    Shadow Sneak

    Paras Level 8:
    Scratch
    Stun Spore
    PoisonPowder
    Cut

    Furret Level 16:
    Scratch
    Headbutt
    Fury Swipes
    Quick Attack





    So, this is my progress, and I hope I'm still in the contest.

  • Well, this is actually my first time playing Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver, so if I sound really surprised, that's why. I'm doing the Normal-type Challenge, for anyone that's forgotten.


    • Started the no$zoomer and the no$gba with it. Started up my Pokémon SoulSilver ROM, and set off.
    • Named myself 'Gold', as that's what 'Ethan''s name should be in all Pokémon games.
    • Walked downstairs, spoke to my mother, and she gave me, not only the ability to SAVE, but she gave me a bag, a card that I can clip badges to (like I'll ever need that), and... wait for it... OPTIONS! That's right, your mom gives you options. How, I don't know, but she did it.
    • Went outside, only to be attacked by a Marill. I fought valiantly, but I am but a human. Right before the Marill struck the finishing blow, it was whisked away by Lyra/Kotone/Where The **** Crys? My life was spared on this day, and I shall always remember it.
    • Spoke with this extremely rude redheaded boy. He kicked me, just for trying to talk to him! Can you believe that!? The nerve of some people. I think he hurt me too...
    • After being crying to my mom about mean, redheaded brats, I walked off to the Elm Pokémon Lab. There's still that redheaded mean guy standing outside the window, which makes me wonder if he's a stalker. And, if he's a stalker, who exactly is he stalking, and why? Prof. Elm? Does that count as reverse-pedophilia or something?
    • Got to play with the really cool PokéBall Machine. Rotate the balls, then look inside them!
    • Eventually got bored and chose a Totodile, to help me combat the Geodudes as I search for Teddiursa.
    • My new Totodile keeps following me, and showing off his fangs. Help...
    • The weird assistant, that has no first or last name, refuses to help me. Instead, he gives me some Potions. Ones that don't work on humans. So, if Totodile decides to kill me, and I somehow wound it, it can just take the Potions out of my bag and heal itself. How nice of him.
    • Saved three times, just like a separate forum said to do, to make sure the file is actually saved. I still don't get why Nintendo went to such great lengths to protect this game from piracy though. I already bought the game, I just have to wait for it to ship. So, I decided to play the ROM as I wait, only to get a handful of problems. This better not happen with Pokémon Black and White...
    • Walked out of the lab, resigned to my fate.
    • OH DEAR GOD, IT'S THE MARILL AGAIN! TOTODILE, KILL IT!
    • According to Lyra, the Totodile that wants to kill me is cute. Does no one see the killer beast that Totodile hides inside himself other than me?
    • Apparently, I should talk with my Pokémon. Why? They can only say their name, which means their conversations must suck. I know a thousand words, and my conversations still suck.
    • BRB, GONNA GO SHOW THIS KILLING MACHINE TO MY MOTHER.
    • My mother compliments Totodile, like everyone freaking else so far, then gives me my PokéGear. Whatever happened to just giving me a map, a Pokémon, and telling me to get the **** out of the house? That's the way I saw Pokémon Red at least.
    • My mother insists on explaining how to use a phone. Mom, I'm ten. I think I understand the basics of a phone. Why I have to go out with this bloodthirsty creature and hurt other animals is what really baffles me. Isn't this animal abuse?
    • Finally spoke to my Totodile. He was staring intently at the sky. When I reminded him that you can't kill the sky, he glared at me.
    • Why is there an exclamation point coming out of my skull? ...I blame Totodile.
    • Prof. Elm gave me his PokéGear number. Why, I'm not too sure. If this guy turns out to be a pedophile, I'm moving to Cherrygrove. He then tells me he'll call is 'something comes up', which sounds like an innuendo.
    • Walked out onto Route 101. The adventure begins! Started walking through the grass to reach Cherrygrove. I could have sworn someone said that Wild Poké...
    • OH DEAR GOD, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT RAT!? Why is it purple!? Is that blood!? Kill it, Totodile!
    • Totodile killed it with minimal effort, showing its true nature as a feared, ferocious killer with no remorse for the living.
    • Okay, now a pigeon appeared. Not as strange as the killer rat, but not exactly normal. Why is it brown though? Aren't pigeons usually black or white?
    • That pigeon hit my Pokémon! This transgression can not go unpunished! Totodile, destroy!
    • Totodile learned Water Gun. Yeah, that's just what I needed. Give it more weapons to take me out with.
    • Talked to a guy that was waiting for a Pokémon that appears at night. Wouldn't it make more sense to just go to sleep during the day, wake up at night, and then go look for it?
    • I found a tree! It doesn't have anything on it though, except for leaves, which I can't take because.... wait, why can't I take the leaves!?
    • Found another rat, only this one looks more squirrel-like. Doesn't matter though, cause Totodile killed it before I could get a better look at it, that bastard.
    • After Totodile murdered all those poor animals, we finally reached Cherrygrove. Let me tell you, if this is how the entire journey is going to be like, I wanna retire now...
