The Monotype Challenge

Not open for further replies.
Forum User Name: Crystar500
Pokémon Type: Grass
Challenge Type: Single
Game: Fire Red

I've been gone from the forums for so long, but I can't help taking this up! :3

I'm already planning to do other types in Fire Red once done with Grass. Could there be another challenge type where we have to beat a single generation, but with every type? I'd totally go for that.

Pokémon Type: Rock
Challenge Type: Ultimate
Game: Pokemon X

Leaving my other games open for now because I don't know when I'll build on this one. I already traded myself an Amaura Egg since I'll be picking Tyrunt. I'm not sure if I added it into the rules explicitly, but I did make a call on a question in the past that whatever fossil you don't take in a Pokemon game where you have to choose one is considered a version exclusive and qualifies for trade in.

Badge 4 update

I haven't done a whole lot since the silly 3rd gym leader and the side story crap about the megaevolution stuff that i can't use :] so i quickly scurried to the 4th gym... i caught a tentacool because i love tentacool and tentacruel --- they are rock stars, Stunky just didn't make the cut imho. I like more variety and Dark isn't really a viable addition except to be a repellent to psychic types. . . but whatever --- i'll take my chances. I didn't level up much but ivysaur evolved and i used a moon stone on nidorino and got the nidoking who's also made for a great addition to each team.

I fought off the team flame peoples and then went straight into gym 5, answered all of the questions just to insult all of their ELECTRIC pokemon vs my tentacruel (who recently evolved btw) In doing so, my croagunk finally evolved into toxicroak making all of my pokemon finally their final evolve forms...

Update on my Emerald Water-Type Challenge:

Raina is my character, based off of a role-play character of mine. She feels the need to raise Water-types because of her name, and so she fits into this role and wants to be the best she can be. She's very nurturing and more of a breeder than anything, but is getting the badges and challenging the league so that she can feel the accomplishment of it. Just some headcanon here. (:

2/8 badges earned.

My Team:

[PokeCommunity.com] The Monotype Challenge



Muir the Relaxed Marshtomp
Level 17
Torrent
Water Gun - Rock Tomb - Mud Shot - Tackle


[PokeCommunity.com] The Monotype Challenge


Nerissa the Naughty Wingull
Level 18
Keen Eye
Water Gun - Growl - Supersonic - Wing Attack


[PokeCommunity.com] The Monotype Challenge


Fjord the Brave Lombre
Level 18
Swift Swim
Astonish - Growl - Absorb - Nature Power

Muir is going to be my lead for the next gym - thank goodness for that ground typing. But Fjord should be able to back him up. The team likely won't be changing anytime soon, either. I do plan on getting a Sharpedo, though. I love those things but I've never actually used one so this should be fun. Not sure on any other teammates, but I like to have a full team so we'll see what happens. Saving Gyarados for other games since it's so easy to get and I'm sure I'll use it elsewhere - especially when I get to Y. Walrein is another one I'll probably add to the team. But we'll see what happens.

As for movesets, I still don't know if I want to put Steel Wing on Nerissa. And Fjord needs some better moves, like, bad. D:


 
Normally I make a big post for gym battles but for the fairy gym I only used toxicroak and between revenge and poison jab I 1hko every Pokemon. 6 badges down, the last two remain.

Pokemon Emerald MonoType Grass Completed.
 
Mkay. i'm at the psychic gym after doing seemingly unimportant sidequest-ish crap. I don't know how this'll go -- i might have to grind more.

Wewt, the 7th gym leader was defeated relatively easilly. With little planning involved.
I'll put the last gym leader on ice!
 
Time for something new for me. Hoping thisll make the game fun again.

Username:teamslayer
pokemon type: normal
challenge type: ultimate
games: firered, soulsilver, emerald, platinum, black 2, X
(Also hoping im doing this right)
 
Update #1: Steel - Platinum
It's not as difficult as I expected it to be, what with using the same type of Pokémon. But then again, I did choose the one that almost resists everything it's not really weak to.

I traded my legendary in Pokemon X for a Gengar around the level of my team using the GTS... can i use him plox :) (i can catch Haunter in the game but Gengar needs to be traded to be evolved)
Edit:
Trading is permitted for evolution and obtaining version exclusive Pokémon in your region's Pokédex that cannot be obtained otherwise, as long as its level does not exceed the highest level on your team. No Egg Moves for this trade in. You may hack Pokemon to evolve if they evolve by trading if you are incapable of doing so. If the Pokemon requires an item, wait til you have the item before hacking the evolution. Using a trade evolution patch on a ROM is also acceptable.
Nevermind. Some nice gentleman who wrote this monotype challenge answered it for me

mmmmm but now i have the hardest decision..... who to keep and who to kick off for Gengar...

Edit2:
Decided to box my Venusaur because I like Gengar better and Grass with Poison is boring in comparison to the other team mates (although i may decide to kick out Toxicroak because so far he's been lacking)

Alright. i just have to bear through the most annoying "dungeon" of the game and then defeated the usually overrated "elite" 4. With my current team I am confident.

4th Update, Water Challenge, Ruby:

-made my way to Verdanturf Town, got a Contest Pass
-Opened the path in Rusturf Tunnel. Dunno why I'm the first person to use Rock Smash in there....
-Headed back to Mauville, then began to make the long trek north. Ya know, that one old woman in the house along the way is really insistent on you resting at her house. Little creepy.....
-Trumpets evolved into a Pelipper
-went through Fiery Path
-Arrived in Fallarbor Town. I don't get why those people are cool living next to an active volcano that constantly spews ash. Ash is bad for your health people, y'all should have lung disease by now. And it's not like it's Hawaii either; Mt.Chimney looks like a cinder cone or a stratovolcano, not a shield volcano.
-Met Lanette and stalked her to her house
-Bumped into Team Magma at Meteor Falls. Professor Cozmo kept saying that Team Magma tricked him, but idk what the guy was expecting.
-pursued Team Magma back to Mt.Chimney, kicked their asses, though Maxie wasn't too easy.
-entered Lavaridge Town
-Took on the Lavaridge Gym. I gotta say, this was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my nearly 15 years of being a Pokemon Trainer, it was so ****ing hard I cried.

Pfft, I'm kidding; the Gym was absurdly easy. That's what happens when you have a mono Water team with Marshtomp in it.
-Got the Go-Goggles from Brendan. I could without the smart-ass comments about how Norman looks tougher than I do though. Brendan, you don't even fully evolve your starter.

Good news everyone!
I have a new charger for my ol' fat DS, so i'll be able to finish the ulti-monotype challenge sooner than later (it arrived yesterday, and it was posted to arrive around September 19th)
20 days early :)
I'll have another update for the end of X's poison challenge within a couple of days, I'm just in a rather busy patch with a lot going on.
 
The save file for my dragon mono type on volt white got corrupted and I was over half way through it.>:( I still plan on doing it but not right away. So I started and finished a fire mono type on fire red (Hope it counts).
The computer I'm on wont upload to photobucket so if you need to see screen shots or me to give more detail about my run let me know.
Team Used:
:t006:Fego LvL60 Moves: Flame Thrower, Aerial Ace, Earthquake, Rock Slide
:t059:Jasper LvL 59 Moves: Flame Thrower, Bite, Extreme Speed, HP (Fighting)
:t136:Cinder Lvl 61 Moves: Return, Quick Attack. Shadow Ball, Toxic

I also started another run Fire on Heart Gold just to see if I fixed the problem with my emulator crashing with it. I'm just getting ready to challenge Chuck so if I can sign up with that existing save it would be great. The only AR code I used was to fix the black screen issue I'm having but it dose nothing else to the game.

Username: HeatedFennekin
Pokemon Type: Fire
Challenge Type: Single

Curent Team:
:t157: Lvl 36; Moves Quick Attack, Swift, Flame Wheel, Lava Plume
