Pokemon Crystal Firemono update 1
Chicken Wings, Roasted Flies and BBQ Cow

Spoiler:

So after figuring out i'll end up with arcanine, typhlosion, magmar, houndoom and magcargo i picked cyndaquil and moved on, grinded a bit and beat rival then went on to violet city.
before challenging the gym went west of violet and caught Spike the Growlithe trained him to level 7 then up to level 10 in sprout tower
VS Falkner
easy enough cyndaquil took down the pidgey with some tackles and growlithe the pidgeotto with a few well placed embers.
went on to azalea town cyndaquil evolved into quilava drove the rockets out of the well.
VS Bugsy
Bug Gym leader VS Fire types, yeah gg gg and gg
Quilava embered the 2 cocoons to death while growlithe picked up the win with some embers on scyther
went back and caught bellsprout cutslave (rattata cant learn cut, wat)
went on to goldenrod city got the odd egg (if its magby, i can use it otherwise i wait till burned tower and get magmar) took on the gym
VS Whitney
why are the hardest parts of the game EASIER in challenge runs? anyway this was honestly a cakewalk compared to usual encounters with her. after 4 embers from quilava clefairy finally went down, i was hoping quilava could llive a hit and leer the miltank but nope stomp killed it, growlithe came in, got a burn with ember, then lowered its def with leer followed by healing up after a stomp taking some rollouts and headbutt followed by burn damage finished miltank.

Bug Monotype update

I loaded up my fire red save file to find that I was back at the beginning of the game, and it has really put me off of using bug types right now (I don't know why) and was wondering if I can just start a new monotype?

Pokemon Crystal Firemono update 3 Johto Complete!
So dragons aren't fireproof

Spoiler:

Cleared rockets out of radio tower with little trouble, got to blackthorn city
VS Clair
Dragonairs went down to a quick leer/strength or 2 from typhlosion, kingdra was easy enough magmar got a smokescreen on it before dieing leaving typhlosion to smokescreen a couple more times and then leer a few times before a strength or 2 finished the job.
went on to victory road, caught my 4th party member Twilight the ponyta which i totally forgot you can get there. grinded it up a considerable amount and taught it iron tail, got everyone to LV 40 (typhlosion was already 41) Twilight evolved into Rapidash, taught sunny day to it and taught typhlosion fire punch and earthquake
beat up silver again before the end of victory road, after growlithe took out his sneasel and typhlosion took out golbat and feralitagr, growlithe just cleaned him up.
stocked up, healed, saved. E4 time
VS Will
Growlithe took a chunk off the xatu before dieing, leave magmar to finish the job. slowbro was an easy(ish) victory for typhlosion after some leers and strength chipping. xatu number 2 took it out before falling to magmar leaving rapidash to take out exeggutor and jynx with a few embers and an iron tail.
VS Koga
Growlithe took down ariados and forretress fairly easily typhlosion beat muk after strength and some fire punches, crobat took it down but finally got beat by magmar, magmar levelled up and learned flamethrower, took it for a test drive and Charcoaled the Venomoth nicely.
VS Bruno
with some hyper potions (and him spamming dig) growlithe took down hitmontop easily enough, then after a critical hit with bite on onix followed by a flame wheel it went down too, leave it to machamp to put a damper on my day but i did fire off a leer, rapidash hit iron tail and got a def drop before rock slide, magmar hit fire punch to finally KO it then came hitmonlee, hit Hi Jump kick as i flamethrowered, i healed and he missed HJK hurting himself so a strength finished him. 2 flamethrowers was the end of hitmonchan.
VS Karen
The umbreon had a chipping contest with growlithe which growlithe lost though it did leave it weakend enough for typhlosion to finish it. magmar took down the gengar after getting cursed followed by murkrow, sadly a crunch was its downfall, rapidash couldnt do much but it hit a stomp anyway before dieing to crunch then flamethrower. finally typhlosion took it out with Earthquake before roasting vileplume with fire punch.
VS Lance
Ye gods this was hard. gyarados got leered then killed growlithe, typhlosion leered it then took a surf, strength took half while he rain danced for some reason another strength finished the job. magmar hit aerodactyl with a smokescreen but sadly it wasnt enough and rockslide hit it to like 2 hp then finished with another one as i flamethrowered it. rapidash was able to 2HKO with iron tail and live a rock slide barely. dragonite lived iron tail and took out rapidash leaving just my typhlosion. some hyper potions, leers, full heals and strengths later and one dnite was down, repeat the process for dnite 2, and 3, finally had to revive magmar since i was out of strengths and healed it up before dieing to hyper beam, magmar finished it of with 3 strengths.

HeartGold
I traveled to Olivine City and discovered the sick Ampharos at the top of the Lighthouse. Then I traveled to Cianwood City to get the SecretPotion and to defeat Chuck, earning my fifth gym badge. Afterwords, I flew back to Olivine, saved the day, and defeated Jasmine to earn my sixth badge! Then I flew to Ecruteak City and traveled east to Mahogany Town. I went north to Lake of Rage, defeated the Red Gyarados, then went back into town where I defeated Team Rocket with Lance's help. After dealing with those pesky Rockets I was able to enter the gym and defeat Pryce to earn my seventh badge. Next, I dealt with the lovely Team Rocket once again, this time in Goldenrod City. Having dealt with them for a final time, I flew to Mahogany Town and traveled through Ice Path to reach Blackthorn City. Since I'm playing HeartGold, and Skarmory is a SoulSilver exclusive, I traded in a freshly caught Skarmory from my copy of SoulSilver. After some training, I was able to narrowly defeat Clair. Once she gave me the badge, I traveled to Ecruteak City, defeated the Kimino Girls, and caught Ho-oh. Finally, I traveled to and through Victory Road, defeating my rival along the way, arriving at Indigo Plateau. After some training and move set adjustments, I took on the Elite Four. Will fell easily to Magneton and Scizor, Koga to Skarmory and Steelix, Bruno to Skarmory, Karen to Scizor and Steelix, and Lance to Magneton and Steelix. In the next update, I will be stopping by Kanto!

Steelix / lv47 / Rock Throw, Earthquake, Ice Fang, Fire Fang

Scizor / lv44 / Pursuit, Wing Attack, Slash, X-Scissor

Magneton / lv45 / Magnet Bomb, Discharge, Thunder Wave, SonicBoom

Skarmory / lv45 / Steel Wing, Slash, Night Slash, Fly

Pearl
I immediately took on Team Galactic in their Eterna City Building, then went south onto the cycling road. I went underneath the road and caught my third team member, Bronzor. I spent a little while training both Bronzor and Shieldon to level 25, then continued on my journey, eventually arriving in Hearthome City. There, I met Fantina (who wouldn't let me battle her) then defeated my rival. Continuing along, I traveled through Solaceon Town to arrive at the location of the third gym, Veilstone City. There, I went straight to the gym and earned my third badge by defeating Maylene! Afterwords, I traveled south and west to get to Pastoria City. Once again, I went straight to the gym, where I defeated Wake to earn my fourth gym badge. Then I defeated my rival, chased around a pesky Team Galactic grunt, and ran in to Cynthia. I flew to Solaceon Town and cured the Psyducks on Route 210, then traveled north to Celestic Town and toured the ruins. Finally, I flew back to Hearthome City and defeated Fantina to earn my fifth badge.

Empoleon / lv38 / Aqua Jet, Metal Claw, Brine, Peck

Bastiodon / lv38 / Taunt, AncientPower, Take Down, Iron Defense

Bronzong / lv38 / Confusion, Gyro Ball, Extrasensory, Confuse Ray

X
Picking up from where I left off, I traveled north to Geosenge Town, encountering the suspicious Team Flare along the way. Then I traveled through Reflection Cave to get to Shalour City. There, I visited the Tower of Mastery where I defeated my rival to receive the Mega Ring. Then I spent a little time training before entering the gym. Normally when my team is made up of Steel-type Pokemon I would be a little wary of a Fighting-type gym, but thanks to my team's dual types (Bug, Ghost, and Fairy) Korrina fell pretty easily. Back at the Tower of Mastery, I tried out Mega Evolution using Korrina's Lucario, which she ended up gifting to me! As Lucario is part Steel-type, how could I not add it to my team? With Lucario having joined my party, I traveled east to Coumarine City where I defeated my rival before defeating Ramos to earn my fourth gym badge.

Wormadam / lv37 / Psybeam, Mirror Shot, Bug Bite, Hidden Power (Ghost)

Doublade / lv37 / Aerial Ace, Shadow Sneak, Slash, Night Slash

Mawile / lv37 / Fairy Wind, Astonish, Vice Grip, Crunch

Lucario / lv37 / Power-Up Punch, Swords Dance, Metal Sound, Bone Rush

Type:

✔Pokemon Ruby

Pokemon Pearl

✔Pokemon Black 2

Pokemon X

Also I have a question. Since I'll be getting the National PokeDex soon in HeartGold, will I be allowed to trade Magneton over to Diamond/Pearl and evolve it at Mt. Coronet? Seeing as how I've already defeated the Johto portion of the challenge and Magnezone is technically in my PokeDex now?

[Pekin]

Ultimate Fire Monotype Challenge
Game: Y
Badges: 8
Challenge completed!

Okay, I don't think I've updated since earning my second badge, and I think I'm gonna (try to) keep this short.
Beat the game yesterday. The Elite Four were mostly easy enough. Malva was tough, as I didn't really have much against other Fire-types, except for Magcargo. So, I soft reset a few times, because I wanted Magcargo to get a lucky boost from Ancient Power on the first turn. Eventually, I got two in a row, and then even her Torkoal's Earethquake only dented Magcargo. The Water guy (forgot his name) was - obviously - a pain, as well. Especially his Gyarados. Delphox' Grass Knot and Pyroar's Sunny Day definitely came in handy. And of course Houndoom's completely godly Special Attack.

The champion actually wasn't too difficult, either. Houndoom saved the day again - seriously, that dog is a maniac, can't wait to finally get my hands on her Mega Stone soon.

Anyway, I did it - once again, the Ultimate Monotype Challenge is completed! Here's my final team:

Delphox, lv. 66 @ Miracle Seed
Male // Timid // Blaze
- Grass Knot
- Psychic
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball

I'm not sure Delphox will ever be one of my favorite Pokémon, but he was definitely a fun Pokémon to use, and if nothing else, I'd never used a Fire/Psychic Pokémon before. Earned me a victory a couple times, too.

Houndoom, lv. 67 @ Poison Barb
Female // Modest // Early Bird
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Nasty Plot
- Sludge Bomb

Houndoom, Houndoom, Houndoom. Oh my God, Houndoom. This girl is a beast and a merciless killer, and just- ♥♥♥♥ me, I'm never not using Houndoom again.

Talonflame, lv. 65 @ Sky Plate
Male // Adamant // Flame Body
- Flare Blitz
- Swords Dance
- Roost
- Brave Bird

Okay, what Houndoom was for the special attackers on this team, Talonflame was for the physical attackers. At least, after setting up with Swords Dance. Solid, reliable and hits way harder with these powerful moves than I expected. Especially if Sunny Day was up, nothing could stand up to its Flare Blitz.

Magcargo, lv. 62 @ Hard Stone
Female // Modest // Magma Armor
- Ancient Power
- Flamethrower
- Recover
- Earth Power

Magcargo was difficult to make proper use of, but it saved my ass during the battle with Malva. Plus, I really wanted it to be good, I mean, it's a goddamn magma snail, what's not to like?

Pyroar, lv. 66 @ King's Rock
Female // Modest // Unnerve
- Hyper Voice
- Sunny Day
- Flamethrower
- Dark Pulse

Pyroar sometimes felt a little.. unnecesarry. I mean, Flamethrower and Dark Pulse, Houndoom could pull off, and she could pull them off better. Pyroar's main purpose was often to set up Sunny Day, I think. Which, to be fair, really came in handy. Hyper Voice was good, too, for neutral coverage, and just as a good STAB move.

Flareon, lv. 64 @ Amulet Coin
Male // Careful // Flash Fire
- Flare Blitz
- Return
- Will-O-Wisp
- Protect

The generation finally came! #FlareBlitzForFlareon2013! Flareon was awesome, but also a bit difficult to find a solid use for, so I tried going a bit defensive, but Flareon's lack of recovery made that a bit difficult to entirely pull off. Flareon has good Special Defense, so I gave it Will-O-Wisp to help it withstand physical attacks, too. Protect is there in an attempt to pull off a sort of pseudo-toxic-stall strategy, I guess. Probably wouldn't work competetively, but Flareon pulled off some amazing wins through this during this playthrough.

Pokemon Crystal Firemono Finale, one Red hot battle

Spoiler:

Did the power plant stuff, and the cerulean cape stuff, caught some stuff for bill's grandpa dill he finally gave me a fire stone, also caught slugma and houndour. levelled slugma into magcargo and slapped EXP share on houndour.
VS Misty
nothing too troubling honestly, magmar weakened her attacks with sunny day then strengths/stomps from magmar and rapidash beat down most of her team, lapras falling to a pair of flamethrowers from magmar.
Houndour evolved into houndoom, levelled slightly off trainers.
VS Sabrina
Houndoom wrecked face. her alakazam almost PP stalled me by spamming recover till the cows come home but eventually she fell none of her pokes could do damn all to houndoom.
VS Lt Surge
i shouldve took typhlosion and its Earthquake and wrecked here but for some reason i didnt, didnt need to anyway magcargo got up an amnesia and smashed everything with flamethrower used a hyper potion at one point.
VS Erika
Houndoom, Flamethrower, GG?
VS Brock
foddered rapidash setting up sunny day, brought in houndoom with solarbeam. GG?
went down the remaining routes i hadnt explored for training (except mt moon oddly)
VS Janine
Magcargo and Houndoom pretty much cleaned house here with flamethrower wrecking her face and her not being able to do much in return.
VS Blaine
Magcargo got a clean sweep with rock throw and a hyper potion.
got wrecked by Blue's gyarados. did some major grinding to level 50, growlithe learned flamethrower, finally evolved it into arcanine where it learned extremespeed immediately.
VS Blue
Magcargo took down pidgeot, then came rhydon, foddered rapidash setting up sunny day, then he made a smart move switching out when houndoom came in. however 2 flamethrowers later and the incoming alakazam was dead, then he stupidly brought rhydon back in and a solarbeam to the face crushed it. then gyarados and his massive trollface came along. eventually after a couple of leers, and many strenghts, extremespeeds, stomps and shadow balls. it was finally down. leaving arcanine to get 2hkod by earthquake from typhlosion and exeggutor to eat a fire punch crit for the game.
Went on to mount silver, got wrecked by Red's blastoise (2 games in a row that £)*£"$)*£ wrecked me) mainly because despite being a fatass turtle, it was faster than my entire team bar rapidash. so i had a brainwave. i slapped toxic on rapidash.
VS Red
Pikachu was a quick 1,2 Fire punch from typhlosion. Espeon was next and after a crit shadow ball a flamethrower finished it from houndoom. then trolltoise, so i hit toxic on it and then died, foddered magcargo reviving rapidash so i could set up sunny day and reduce surf's damage. because of this magmar was able to take surfs and eventually get into a sunny day/rain dance war with the thing its health slowly draining away, when he was down to yellow to make sure he didnt heal i took a surf and used flamethrower in the sun to finish it off. then came snorlax, and magcargo was the only one that could take more than 2 body slams, i foddered arcanine and typhlosion hitting it with leers and then brought magcargo in, 2 rock slides and it rested, another 4 rock slides and it was down and out. magcargo being my last poke i healed it up and took down charizard with 2 rock slides. venusaur was last and i revived houndoom, he charged solarbeam so i healed houndoom and died. brought in houndoom he charged solarbeam and flamethrower took just over half, took a solarbeam and a second flamethrower finished the game.
