    Time for a update hmm?

    -Soul silver flying

    Not much to say or list off so il just sum it up right here. It was easy cruising until I got to lt.surge, he was troublesome and il leave it at that (about a week right there) then I basically swept through what was left of the gyms. As of right now I am grinding against Erika to get my pokes to a descent level.

    Levels at the moment:

    Pidgeot - Pig - 53
    Noctowl - Hooty - 53
    Gyarados - Friend - 57
    Scarmory - scare - 52
    -
    Gyarados - Gyarados - 30 (hm)
    Rattata - bill - 8 (hm)

    16/16

    Next update will be the last for this challenge :)

    Feeling a Gen 3 monotype with the ORAS announcement
    And as Roxanne is first I'll do a rock monotype, single for now
    Username: hisalness56
    Type: Rock
    Ultimate or Single: Single for now

    EDIT: I noticed the OP said that the list of banned pokemon is from the battle tower.... I didn't see Regirock on the list does this mean I can use Regirock?

    First update:

    Breezed through first 2 gyms with Mudkip/Marshtomp, after beating Brawley caught an Abra for flash and then caught my first Rock type, Aron.

    Now its time to griiiiiiiiind.

    Current team:
    Aron: level 12
    Abra: level 9 (flash slave)
    Zigzagoon: level 7 (cut slave)

    I'm not using a geodude... if I do an ultimate there is plenty of time to be miserable with geodude/graveler lol

    Hey everyone! I haven't updated anything in a while, but I have a lot of ongoing monotypes that I've been playing intermittently for the past few months, some of which I don't think I've signed up for yet. Since my summer break is started, I've decided to go through and finish all of the games I started one at a time! First, a proper sign up for some of the additional ultimates I have started:

    Username: Gulpin (previously deku)
    Type: Bug, Poison, and Fire
    Ultimate or Single: Ultimate (all)

    For all of those games I've already started playing through one of the regions for the ultimates, which I'll update on later. In addition to those games, I'm going to work on finishing up my started ultimates one game at a time.

    The first update will be for my Fighting Ultimate, in the Kalos region! As of now, I've earned my first five gym badges and I'll be working on making progress and finishing it up in the next few days. Currently, I am on Route 14 spending some time leveling up my team, which is:
    The Monotype Challenge
    Chesnaught / Lv. 36 / Pin Missile, Bite, Seed Bomb, Rollout
    The Monotype Challenge
    Gallade / Lv. 36 / Magical Leaf, Psycho Cut, Double Team, Power-Up Punch
    The Monotype Challenge
    Pangoro / Lv. 36 / Body Slam, Karate Chop, Arm Thrust, Vital Throw
    The Monotype Challenge
    Hawlucha / Lv. 35 / Karate Chop, Flying Press, Roost, Aerial Ace
    The Monotype Challenge
    Lucario / Lv. 36 / Power-Up Punch, Swords Dance, Metal Sound, Bone Rush

    So I finally got around to doing more of my challenge:

    9th Update, Fire Challenge, Black 2
    -caught Terrakion
    -moved the Crustle in Seaside Cave
    -boarded the Plasma Frigate

    -Fought a crapload of Plasma grunts. There's 2 things I don't get about this part though: 1) There's a guy blocking the entrance to the southern part of the ship, but he's sleeping....can't I just sneak past him or something? 2) You have to deactivate those electrical barriers in order to proceed. Just for fun I touched it, and all that happens is a shocky sound and a message that says "Be careful! The barriers are electrified!" NO ♥♥♥♥ GAME, I KNOW THAT! But shouldn't I be dead? Or at least convulsing on the floor? Some barrier that is....

    -Defeated Zinzolin. Pushover.
    -after getting rudely thrown off the boat, I made my way to the Giant Chasm
    -Hopped back on board the Frigate (man their security sucks) and single-handedly beat down the other half of the Neo Plasma army. Why is it that I do all the work around here anyway? Oh well, I loveses to fight *v*
    -Defeated Colress. Colress was easy, since 4/5 of his party is Steel types. I thought he had a ghost in a washing machine, but I guess that's only post game.
    -Became the sole audience member for one of Ghetsis's speeches, defeated the Shadow Triad
    -followed Ghetsis into the depths of the Chasm and saw one of the game's very very few cutscenes
    -Beat Black Kyurem. It's so powerful, but this fight is always so easy. And so then:

    The Monotype Challenge
    VS
    The Monotype Challenge


    DENNIS DENNIS DENNIS dat battle theme
    I beat up Ghetsis. No, not Sage Ghetsis. I didn't beat up Necrum. What's wrong with you people?

    Anyway, like in Black1/White1, Ghetsis proves to be pretty much the storyline's only good opponent. I was worried there for a minute that he might beat me. Actually had to resort to using multiple Revives and healing items for this battle, and only Darmanitan was alive at the end of the battle with about 50% HP. Whew....

    Current Badges:

    So now the only thing left to do is take on the Pokemon League.

    I defeated AZ a few moments ago, marking my second completed Ultimate under the sixth generation standard! I plowed through the final few routes and easily defeated the eighth gym leader, Wulfric. I just got through Victory Road and decided to plow straight in to battling the Elite Four (without my usual grinding and moveset adjusting). I defeated Drasna first, and then Malva who gave me a bit of trouble. I then defeated Siebold pretty easily, and finished up with Wikstrom who wasn't too bad. As for Dianca, the hardest members of her team were Hawlucha and, as usual, Gardevoir. The rest of her team fell pretty easily to my fighting types, however. After defeating her, AZ didn't pose much of a threat xD
    As for my MVP, it would have to be Pangoro. It didn't really shine until it proved to be extremely helpful with most of the E4, as evidenced by its higher level. In addition, Hawlucha was a very reliable team member throughout the entire challenge.

    Here's the first update for my Poison ultimate. I started this game on my phone a while back, and today I picked up where I had previously left off, which was just after catching Seviper. So I spent some time leveling him up, then traveled to Lavaridge town where I defeated Flannery. I tried to defeat Norman immediately afterwords, but I had to spend some time training in the desert before I was able to earn the badge. After that I surfed to the eastern half of Hoenn and saved after making it to Fortree City.
