Only 4 days until this thread closes and the new one goes up. If anyone has a 5th gen Ultimate that's close to completion I suggest you wrap that up soon and get your post in, because at midnight Pacific standard time Feb 1 I will be posting the new thread.

Okay, big update, haven't been able to update in a while:

Sorry about that, and with the new thread coming do my challenges I haven't finished yet continue on to the new thread?

Just to make sure, will i be able to bring my old ultimates of Bug and Water? (1 finished, 1 started 5th gen a few days ago and wont get to finish here) I intend to play them through 6th gen when PokeBank is eventually released.

Also, will single champs from this thread be listed in the new thread?

Poison monotype - FR
I wish you could farm Team Rocket. That said, after their lair got cleaned out, I went and stomped Erika to bits and did the same to Koga. I tried to beat Sabrina but she proceeded to flatten me. Several times. So yeah, I threw up my arms and went after Blaine. Don't think I'm ready for him yet... his minions have 'mon the same level as mine so I'm pretty sure I'm underleveled. HEY BLAINE I'VE COME BACK IN TIME TO DEFEAT YOU AND OH GUESS WHAT YOU'RE GONNA LOSE YOUR PRECIOUS GYM

All progress from this thread can be moved to the new one. You just have to fill out a new sign up which will include a part where you can say you have previous progress. As for the other question, if you are playing on the new thread I will move your singles over. Ultimates will stay on this page and will be linked to in the new thread for the sake of keeping everything recorded.

 

[Meppy]

I was thinking of defeating more than one gym leader in this update, but since the thread is closing soon I might as well make an update. So, onto my third Sapphire update.

Poison monotype - Quick update

So I thought I already cleared out Silph Co... turns out I didn't. Well now it really IS cleared and I ended sweeping past Sabrina. Which was probably just as well since I'm way overleveled at this point. Currently marching towards Giovanni. Planning to do a sweep of the Power Plant afterwards to get some last levels in before marching towards the E4. Yep, life.

Ultimate Water Monotype Challenge: Silver

Just beat Chuck finally. He was ANNOYING. But I did it. I'm kinda sick and don't feel like doing much in the way of updating but I wanted to say I got the badge. Hopefully I can come up with another game to trade with. I want that Slowking and Kingdra!

-Houndour evolved into Houndoom

Ultimate Water Monotype, Platinum part 1

Spoiler:

Started the game, named character Triton.
Obtained Piplup from Rowan.
Beat Rival (Rt.201).
Named Piplup Bering.
Ran back and forth for no real reason other than extending the length of the game.
Caught Bidoof, named Frank (Rt.202)
Got to Jubilife, Did some errands for no real reason other than extending the length of the game.
Beat Rival (Rt.203).
Arrived in Oreburgh, grinded in the Mines until Bering and Frank had evolved.
Challenged Oreburgh Gym, Wiped the floor with Roark, obtained the Coal Badge.

Returned to Jubilife and owned our very first Galactic noobs.
Obtained Psyduck (Ravaged Path), named Misty.
Obtained Buizel (Valley Windworks), named Jessica.
Obtained Shellos (Valley Windworks), named Maury.
Beat up some more Galactic peons, fought Mars. Zubat Toxics Jessica but we take it down quickly. Mars' godsdamned Purugly smashes everything on my team with critical Scratches and Faint Attacks except Jessica, who finally KOs it with Quick Attack.
Traveled through Eterna Forest with Cheryl.
Arrived in Eterna City, grinded a ton.
Challenged Eterna Gym. Gardenia was crazy hard. Bering gets in a Pluck before Turtwig Reflects, then we set up Stealth Rocks. Bering loses a lot of health to Razor Leafs before KOing it. Cherrim finishes off Bering and takes out Jessica before Frank manages to take it out with Headbutt. Roserade was actually the easiest- went down to two Hyper Fangs. Got the Forest Badge.

Cleaned out Galactic Eterna building. Jupiter wasn't too hard, Skuntank went down to Pluck and Bubblebeam.
Got a bicycle~!
Arrived in Hearthome City. Currently training to prepare for the gym.

Also, added Pokemon X to the lineup.

I'll get the thread all caught up and accurate so everyone has accurate records throughout the day. Thanks for keeping with things to this point guys. I'll see you on the other side.

Well, doesn't look like I'll be able to finish this UMC then, as I do not have X/Y, nor have the money to get them. This whole thing will just be a bunch of singles then, I guess.

 

[Necrum]

Oh, also I have a question. When the new thread appears next month, do all of us current challengers have to start over, or do we just get shifted over?

Sorry I missed your question. There will be a field in the sign up form to import progress from this thread.

Also, Bill was the one who gave you the SS Anne Ticket.



At this point I'm going to ask that no one post further in this thread. The new version of the Ultimate Monotype Challenge should be up soon

 

[Pekin]
