Monotype Challenge (Ver. 2.0)

[emoxy]

Yay screenshots more Arcelio! Makes the update alot nicer to read :)

And I was about to ask whether you gonna teach Psychic to Gengar Shiari Xero, but seems like you did. :) No sludge bomb eh?

That poor kid got eaten by Storm :D

 

[Shiari Xero]

Haha, well i kept forgetting to go get Sludge Bomb, and then i was in Saffron at the time so i grabbed Psychic and taught it to Gengar. So I dont know if im going to use Sludge Bomb or not lol =P

 

[Athprim]

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Sorry for not updaing guys. Once again, K-mart rules my life. >.<

I havent had a ton of time to play as of recent.

I have, however, managed to beat Clair (Empoleon + Avalance) and have progressed to the E4, where I am currently deciding whether or not I should grind my team to Level 45 or just go at Level 40.

Whew! Finally got around to starting this monotype challenge (Sorry about the wait, but I ended up doing a couple of other playthroughs...)

* I started my journey (Naming myself Gale)
* Went to see what Elm wanted.
* Received a Totodile (Naming him Tribute)
* Got my Pokegear
* Got Running shoes + Map card
* Got the Mystery Egg + Pokedex
* Put my Rival to shame in a battle
* Named my rival Snow & gave Elm the egg
* Went home to tell my mom I was leaving & then set off on my adventure
* I "learned" how to catch pokemon (receiving 5 handy pokeballs)
* Made my way to route 30 where I caught 2 Weedles, naming one Tracker and the other Jacker (Anyone see the pattern yet?)
* Trained Tracker and Jacker to level 6

And this is where I must stop for now...got my finals this week and it's past midnight...I'll continue my journey later.


Current Team:

Tracker - Level 6

Poison Sting
Stringshot

Jacker - Level 6

I'll give someone a cookie if they can correctly guess the theme of the names...

 

[EJ]

Yes Rapide, pokewalker pokemon are allowed.

Lmao arcelio I actually thought about that. Storm eater comes in and says "I'm done guys!!"

Haha yep shiari, I saw some people complaining about his "quickness" and I decided to act. His reaction to the accusations were very lulzworthy. "I'm just too good" lmao frikkin liar...

Did I say that I beat Clair? If not, I did bet her. Because Empoleons Blizzard hit... Four times. xD

Also, I did the Kimono Girls. Scizor killed every one, though at the end he only had 14 hp. xD

I also decided to kill Ho-oh. xD

blaQk's Pokémon HGSS Monotype Challenge Journal
Entry: 4

The legendary beasts were nice to me. I only had to soft-reset once to get a timid natured Entei. ;D

Quest information:

• Caught Entei and Raikou
• Beat Morty with some Sentret haxs
• Trapinch evolves
• Beat the Rocket and received HM 03 (Surf)
• Caught a Farfetch'd for an HM slave
• Evolved Sentret so it could learn Surf
• Faught my way through the lighthouse and across routes 40 and 41
• Picked up a Shuckle
• Beat Chuck (Vibrava's Faint Attack was nice)
• Picked up HM 02 (Fly)
• Picked up the SecretPotion I came for
• Trounced Eusine
• Gave the SecretPotion to Jasmine
• Beat Jasmine (took a lot of potions to make her run out of PP on her Steelix so Gabite could finish it)
• Flew to Ecruteak City
• Made my way East into Mahogany town
• Then made my way North to the Lake of Rage

I'm currently setting at the Lake of Rage infront of the Red Gyarados debating on if I want to soft-reset until I catch a jolly natured one or not. I'll probably just catch it and what I get is what I get. I really don't feel like doing the Rocket HQ mission . . .

My current team:

Vibrava ♂
Level: 40
Moveset: Crunch | DragonBreath | Roost | Faint Attack

Gabite ♂
Level: 38
Moveset: Dragon Claw | Outrage | Take Down | Sandstorm

 

[Kurumi]

Why do You need Jolly Gyarados? It's Water/Flying...
What type should I do now? I won't do Bug and Ground... Any suggestions? Can't do Dark,Ice and Dragon because I can't trade in eggs.

 

[ScoutRocket]

I think I'm going to start today or tomorrow with fire-types, but since I hate cyndaquil can I possibly have someone trade me a chimchar instead?

 

[Arcelio]

Totodile's standing by the bed so the old guy who asked me all the questions won't come back.

Mom, I didn't even leave yet. You should stop drinking in the afternoon...:(

Just before we left home, I grabbed my dusty old camera from a drawer. Never know when the thing might come in handy. Besides, this way, when I'm all old and wrinkly, I can look back at these pictures and think about my memories, instead of talking to young-people about them

Totodile, we've been spotted. Just play it cool.

You know, if you think I'm that stupid, you might as well just come out and say it.

Where have I seen this before?

Oh yeah. Snake? Snake!? SNAKE!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, because rats are such elusive and dangerous creatures. Show-off.

So it was Lyra that's been holding onto my balls for me? Anybody find it weird how, without the accent over the 'e', it becomes 'Poke Balls'?

Well, I only plan on catching Water-type Pokemon, to be the very best at that, so I guess I should save a few of my balls for later. Don't wanna waste them too early now, would I?

*bulbagarden.net image removed*
Cherrygrove City: The City of Fragrant Flowers

Well, I stopped by the Pokemon Center to heal real quick, then me and Totodile sped off to Route 30.

*bulbagarden.net image removed*

We battled a few trainers, and a few Wild Pokemon. Nothing of interest happened, so I didn't bother taking any pictures of it.

**** you too, Weedle.

*bulbagarden.net image removed*
To Violet City we go! Just a bit more walking, Totodile.

Yay! Free stuff!

Well, seeing as we're both extremely fond of stupid looking hats, it shouldn't be that hard for us to find each other. Also, how the hell did I beat you here, if you left before me, and I didn't see you in Cherrygrove?

*bulbagarden.net image removed*
Violet City: The City of Nostalgic Scents

We finally made it!

Annnnnd that's a wrap, people. Kind of short update, I know, but uploading screenshots is hard work. You've gotta take the screenshot, use Photoshop, save it as a .PNG, upload it to Photobucket, copy the link, then paste the link onto Pokecommunity, then write a caption for it. I think I'm just gonna casually rotate, doing text one update, then screenshots the next. Next update will be text, in case you're wondering.

 

[Athprim]

Grinding it is. Lol. A Fail of the Epic Variety against Bruno. Could really use that Metagross right about now.

 

[EJ]

That was nice Arcelio. I laughed a couple of times =]

Btw, a jolly Gyarados is win. (+ speed, - spc attk) It doesn't matter if it's water/flying =P

 

[emoxy]

Why do You need Jolly Gyarados? It's Water/Flying...

Jolly is good to sweep. :D
I think EJ allows save file editing of one egg.

Is it just me or ar Arcelio's updates in black and the forum skin is black >< I have to highlight everything to read them. Nice update though, really like how you do it.

 

[EJ]

I'm using the Infernal Smash theme for some reason lol. It's all good for me.

I do allow early cheating to acquire an egg for the rare types (emulators)

 

[blaQk]

Why do You need Jolly Gyarados? It's Water/Flying...

Cause it's not like I can't use it for other reasons . . .
