- Caught Swole the Taillow
- Cleared Petalburg Woods
- Took on Roxanne with Paulina and Water Gun
- Retrieved Devon Goods

ANY IDEAS ON HOW TF I COULD BEAT WATSON WOULD BE WELCOMED

@hisalness56
You could catch a Nincada train it to LV19 and defeat Watson quite easily I believe you can do it since Ninjask is part Flying..actually if you want to train Ninjask it isn't really bad since in my MonoBug it was my life saver xD
OR you could train a Gyarados to LV25 and spamming Dragon Rage since its Base Special Defense is 100 it should resist to 1 Shock Wave xD

I' d like to sign-up for a Psychic Monotype but I won't play until I finish my monoFire on White 2 xD

Dark Update 3: Platinum 4/8

I have an update for Platinum. I currently saved at Pastoria City after some serious grinding, I think I'm ready for Pastoria Gym.
I also had a lot of good luck at Veilstone Game Corner, I made enough coins to buy 2 Psychics, 1 Flamethrower and 4 Wide Lenses. :)

Man, I remember doing this all the time as a kid on Red/Blue. XD Should be fun to try this again with more knowledge. : )

Username: PekoponTAS
Type: Normal (Because Normal types are my favourite)
Challenge: Ultimate
Games: FireRed, HeartGold, Ruby, Platinum, White 2

I actually had two questions. The rules state you can only use Pokemon of a certain Pokedex, but in the case of HeartGold half of the game takes place after you get the National Dex. What I'm wondering is if I'd be allowed to catch a Zangoose so long as it's after the Johto Elite Four? That would make things a lot more fun since Zangoose is one of my favourite normal types, and the only other games I could get him in pre-national dex is Ruby where he's no good, and towards the very end of Black 2. : (

The other question is if I sign up for single, but later decide to do the other games as well, does this HeartGold run apply to the ultimate?

- hacked in an Oddish (as the happy birthday event) and used that as my starter
- stored my lvl 6 cyndaquil in the PC
- made my way to the first gym city

-went through the bellsprout tower and then grinded all 3 of my pokemon to lvl 10-13
- went to the first gym and cleared it out (the trainers) then healed up and went at falkner
-the battle started with my bellsprout putting his pidgey to sleep and then beating with hit after hit vine whip (lol) he woke up eventually and injured my bellsprout I put him asleep again and switched to my oddish who was lvl 14 (IIRC) and finished the pidgey off in one acid attack
- now it was my oddish vs his pidgeotto; we went right at it trading acid and gust respectively. my first acid got his HP down to 2/3 and his gust got me down to 30% but I lucked out big time with my last acid and got a crit and knocked him out without him using his potions at all or using roost even once.

-cleared the slowpoke cave and then went to ilex (spelling?) forest and battled silver and of course won again used a strat of sleep/paralyze absorb/vine whip/acid. I paralyzed his croconaw with my hoppip and switched to my oddish and absorbed it to death he could not damage my faster than I could heal.

• Headed to Castelia City
• Went hunting for Team Plasma
• Headed down to Castelia Sewers and teamed up with Josh to own two Team Plasma grunts
• And, Lenora finally evolved! Progress at last!
• Encountered Colress, the best character in the game after Josh gave me HM04
• About time, a better move for Sadman
• Until I realized that only Lenora can learn it, so I guess Lenora's getting Strength.
• Anyway, after all of that, I headed to Castelia City's gym

• Saved on Route 4

@NecrumWarrior - I've just finished my Poison Kanto region and am moving onto Johto. I'm just wondering if I'll be alright to use the Liquid Crystal ROM? I know it mentions using hack ROMs in the OP but I'm not too sure with this hack as it's still the Crystal map but with the addition of Orange Islands.

Grass monotype SS Update: 2

- Entered Bug Gym cleared it out then healed up and then challenged the Gym Leader the first time I got wrecked :P

- Challenged him again this time the rolls actually worked in my favor. I started it off with my bellsprout and he just one hit KO'd it with U-turn right away. I then sent out my oddish and he sent out a metapod, I put it to sleep and spammed acid at it he healed it with a potion I KO'd it. he then sent out scyther; I used sleep powder he used leer and so I luckily put him to sleep and then spammed acid he used a barry but after about 4 turns I took him down then mopped up the last kukuna with acid again lol.

I sent out my gloom and spammed acid and took the clefairy out. I then switched to Bellossom and I put the miltank to sleep it used a barry to wake up I then put it to sleep again. Then I started to spam mega drain to regain my lost HP my first two did normal damage but my 3rd one pulled a crit and took out miltank just as it woke up from sleep. (nothing but luck lol)

...Continuing my firered WATER monotype (I haven't played it in months!!!)

Here is my progress:

Spoiler:

-Got the tea from the old lady in Celadon... Had to check a guide for it because I was lazy to explore.
-Beat the guys in the fighting dojo, but didn't pick any of the pokemon because they don't match my monotype challenge, which is WATER.
-Fought Gary. Used Acid Armor that my vaporeon just learned to bulk him up a bit. Aurora Beam against his Venasaur was a 2HKO. Got poisoned in between turns though.
-Beat Green and got my Lapras. Yay! I hope it has a nice nature. I never used a Lapras before, can you believe it?
-Beat Giovanni super easily. And my Lapras is Rash, which is not so bad.
-My gyarados alone earned me the Marsh Badge!
-The Viridian City gym leader is back, so that's where I went next. Got the Earthbadge from Giovanni. It was so easy that I felt like I was cheating!
-Beat Gary and stopped at the entrance of the Victory Road. That's a story for another day :)

Badges: 8/8
