Yesterday I manage to defeat Winona, travel to Lilycove, and begin the Team Magma/Aqua endgame stories. This morning, I spent a bit if time training and managed to get lucky and defeat Tate and Liza in a very close match. I saved after clearing Team Magma out of the Mossdeep Space Center and getting Dive.

So I've already finished the game! After getting Dive, I spent some time traveling around and collecting some TM's to update my team's movesets. I then went ahead to the Seafloor Cavern and then Sootopolis to proceed with the endgame. After I defeated Team Magma and Aqua for good, and then visiting Rayquaza at Sky Pillar to calm Groudon and Kyogre, I was able to take on Juan. After defeating Juan, I traveled to Ever Grande City and traveled through Victory Road, defeating Wally along the way. I didn't spend much time leveling up my team before deciding to give the Elite 4 a try. Sidney and Phoebe weren't too difficult because I was able to exploit their weaknesses. Glacia was more difficult, and I think I got pretty lucky defeating her. Drake was a pretty easy defeat, considering nearly his entire team has a 4x weakness to Ice Beam. Wallace was a bit more difficult, but after a long battle I eventually prevailed. My entire team proved to be helpful in their own way. Dustox was very good at using Toxic then stalling because of its nice special defense. Swalot and Seviper's versatility proved to be very useful, and Vileplume's strong attacks were very helpful especially with Wallace.

I chose Squirtle as my starter and named it Leonardo after the Ninja Turtle! [/Unoriginal]
I ended up buying Magikarp from some fisherman in a pokemon center, named it Outrageous!
I caught a Spearow and traded it for the Farfetch'd in Vermilion City, knowing it could learn Cut AND Fly. HM Slave #1.
I caught about 4 randoms around Viridian so I could obtain HM06 Flash from the Professors Aide.
I caught a Voltorb, in order to make use of Flash. HM Slave #2.
I then found a free Eevee in Celadon City which I quickly gave a Water Stone to make it evolve into Vaporeon!
Named him Liquifier lol. I'm half way through the Gym's, and half way through building my 6-man team!

Leaf Green Normal Monotype #1

So I started the game, went through all the boring opening stuff, and began my challenge. I picked Bulbasaur as my starter, but that doesn't matter as I boxed it as soon as I caught a Spearow. Then I caught a Pidgey and Rattata for backup. After a LONG time grinding in Viridian Forest, both Spearow and Pidgey evolved. Brock wasn't really difficult with two evolved Pokemon.

Spoiler:

EDIT: Emulator crashed, lost my save. I'll start over.

Leaf Green Normal Monotype #2

After I lost my save file, I reset the game, caught another Spearow and grinded until I could defeat Brock. I didn't use a Pidgey or Rattata this time, though. Shortly after, I caught a male Jigglypuff (hooray!) before Mt. Moon, which I trained while going through the cave. Inside the cave I caught a Clefairy and made it to Cerulean City. After defeating the Nugget Bridge trainers, I made my way to Bill's cottage, then challenged the gym. Misty herself wasn't difficult. I used to opportunity to train my Clefairy, and Jigglypuff KOd both her Pokemon.

Finally, here is an update for my Flying monotype on Diamond! My last update (which is in the old thread) left off after defeating Fantina. So since then, I've traveled to Canalave and Snowpoint, where I defeated Byron and Candice, respectively. Byron wasn't too difficult thanks to Staraptor's Close Combat, and Candice was simple since three-fourths of her team is weak to Flying. Before saving, I went ahead and flew to Vielstone and got the Dusk Stone to evolve Murkrow into Honchkrow!

Leaf Green Normal Monotype #3

Finished Kanto. Spent the day blazing through the gym leaders. Koga was the only one that really gave me any problems, mainly due to Toxic. The Elite Four were super difficult. Lorelei was surprisingly the hardest of the four. Once I defeated her after grinding forever, the rest were fairly easy. Except Lance. He was not fun. I defeated him with 2 CH Blizzards. And my rival after that was pretty easy.

Since my last update, I've left Celadon City for Saffron City.
I cleared out the Fighting Dojo, as well as Team Rocket.
Before taking on Giovanni, a trainer gifted me a Lapras which I named Lochness!
I beat Giovanni with ease!
I obtained the Silph Scope, and beat Sabrina at her Gym!
I went to Lavendar Town where I rescued Mr. Fuji from Team Rocket.
Left for Fuschia City through the Bicycle Route where I defeated a grouchy Snorlax.
Beat Koga at his Gym and cleared the Safari Zone for 2 HM's, Surf and Strength!
Taught my entire team Surf lol
I went through the route with the other sleeping snorlax, where I found the Super Rod!
Caught a Level 33 Horsea, which I named VISERION.
Surfed through the Seafoam Islands, defeated Articuno, and made it to Cinnabar Island.
Challenged Blaine's Gym which I easily swept with my power house of a Water Team!
That leaves me with the One-Two-Three Island side Quest, and one final badge to go!

Well, I just defeated Cynthia in my Flying ultimate! Since my last update, I defeated Team Galactic and Dialga and traveled to Sunyshore city where I defeated Volkner. He wasn't too difficult because he only had two electric types on his team.. After that, I traveled north and through Victory Road to the Pokemon League. I then defeated my rival before taking on Aaron, Bertha, Flint, and Lucian. Of the four, Lucian was the easiest thanks to Honchkrow and the other three were all about equal in difficulty. For Cynthia, her Miloctic posed a bit of a problem, defeating most of my team before succumbing to Staraptor's Return. The rest of her team fell pretty easily until Garchomp. Luckily, it could only use Dragon Rush against Drifblim due to type immunities, so with some carefully timed switching and healing, I was able to whittle down its HP with Staraptor. Luckily, Cynthia used Giga Impact to defeat my Staraptor which left Garchomp recharging while Drifblim was able to come in and defeat it.

Now that I'm finished with that challenge, which I started many moths ago, I'll go ahead and work on completing my Flying run in Black 2!
