Question.
On my Ice monotype, i was wondering if i can use Lapras's Perish song, then keep sacrificing pokemon until the opponent dies. Like Lapras used perish song, is owned, Sneasel, is owned, HM Slave Togepi, is owned, then the pokemon dies. Is that fine? Im having problems with chuck

That is perfectly all right, and in fact, the only way I beat Wallace. He couldn't ohko my Tropius slave with anyone other than Milotic and Sealeo, so I would send out Geodude w/ Quick Claw, kill luvdisc w/ EQ, he sends out whiscash, Explode (if i don't go first I send out Tropius), heal w/ someone else, switch back when they die, and repeat. And since I'm the ruler of this challenge, I say it counts.

Congrats. Hopefully Red won't be to much of a challenge for you ;)

Just a small, Unimportant update from me:

Just took out the Rocket base in Mahogany town, Not much to report except Lance is officially a bad ass! he hyper beamed a guy!!

I managed to take a picture of the blood curdling scene:

Picture stolen from one of RedChocobo's Lp's. I better give him credit, he's an awesome drawer.

I'll have a proper update later.

Another successful day in the land of the Poison monotype (my priority since I started it first.)
-Took on Koga and won with Gengar's Psychic
-Took on Giovanni in Silph Co. with Venusaur
-Took on Sabrina with Nidoqueen's Body Slam
- Went Cinnabar Island
-Spent long time looking for Magmar for Yellow version
-Beat Blaine with Nidoqueen's Surf
-Beat Giovanni for Gym Badge with Venusaur and Gengar.
- Beat Gary through teamwork. His Alakazam gave me a fair amount of trouble though.

Now to Victory Road and the Elite 4!
Team:
Venusaur Lv 45
Nidoqueen Lv 44
Gengar Lv. 46

 

[Maxulus]

Can I take the challenge in an emulator?

 

[myrrhman]

Can I take the challenge in an emulator?

You may, just no hacking in level 100 Pokemon and stuff that you wouldn't do on the game. The only extra thing you can do is use the Speed Button, since it doesn't actually alter the game.

 

[Ramsie]

I have completed my Poison Monotype! Beat the E4 on my second try. Gary's Alakazam murdered me the first time.
Lorelei: Gengar's Thunderbolt
Bruno: Venusaur's Razor Leaf and Gengar's Psychic
Agatha: Nidoqueen's Earthquake with a little help from Gengar
Lance: Gengar's Thunderbolt and Nidoqueen's Ice Beam
Gary:
Pidgeot-Thunderbolt
Alakazam- Lots of revives until it used reflect or something then used Body Slam until it paralyzed. Then sent out Gengar for parafusion and evetually killing it.
Rhydon-Razor Leaf
Exeggutor- Body Slam. Spent time healing my team to recover from alakazam.
Gyrados- Thunderbolt then confused it watch it kill itself.
Charizard- Surf and Thunderbolt.

Team:
Gengar Lv. 53
Nidoqueen Lv. 51
Venusaur Lv.47

Will do another monotype in Blue eventually. Now going to work on the Ground mono in Pearl.

 

[tomreaper]

[IDoLikeMudkip]

-FINALLY got through the pokemon mansion, i hate wild pokemon now

-Evolved Rosebud into Vileplume

-FOUGHT my way to Blane

-through a streak of luck I finally beat Blane and learned to despise Fire Spin

-Went to Saffaron to pick up the badge that i had missed

-when i got there found out i needed to rescue Silph Co.

-So instead i challenged the fighting Dojo

-Won quite handily

-went to rescue Silph

-Did so with great ease

-Since the Gym was now unblocked that was my next stop

-Ran through the Gym with relative ease and defeated the ever-recovering-Alakazam with a lucky SolarBeam from Eggman

-flew back to Viridian to face the final Gym Leader

-It was a quick victory with Eggman doing all the fighting

-Headed over toward the IP and ran into Flare

-Fought Flare many, many, MANY times, finally a stroke of luck and Charizard didn't crit. and I won the day

-Got through the Plato to Victory Road and I guess i had all the badges

-Traversed the Maze-like victory road and arrived at the E4

-Fighting the E4 mostly failing, i find out Lance's Dragonairs know nothing besides agility, and Slave II kills both of them cause he was the only one left in the party, and expecting him to DIE IMMIDATLY, he was in the battle, but NOOOOO Dragonair only knows AGILITY, stupid Dragonair

-Finally got tired of getting the crap beaten out of me, went to catch the last known grass pokemon in Red Kanto

-Got to Pallet, surfed a little south, searched grass, searching... searching... searching... searching...FOUND ONE!!! oh, no, it died... searching... searching... searching... FOUND ANOTHER!!!

[MancerNecro]

Can I join? Will be starting this after I complete my current LeafGreen Run. Is it allowed to catch a Poliwhirl to trade it with a guy in Cerulean for a Jynx?

Btw, I plan to take on a Psychic Run on FireRed/LeafGreen. If I get bored of my LeafGreen run, I'll do this on FireRed and leave that on hold first.

 

[raekuul]

Welcome to the forums and the challenge, MancerNecro

 

[MancerNecro]

Thanks. About my question on the Poliwhirl, is it allowed?

Also, I'll most probably be on LeafGreen. Giving up the previous playthrough.

Yup, you're good to go. I'll add you to the list.

MVP--Eggman, taking out nearly three out of the five Indigo League is no small feat
LVP--Shrooms, having absolutely no decent moves takes a lot away from you
Luckiest Pokemon--Slave II, sneaking in four levels against Lv.60+ when you are <20 is pretty lucky
Unluckiest Pokemon--Tangleweed, being taken from your home then just left to be useless is pretty unlucky

The End:

Spoiler:

And now on to Silver

 

[Darkfire_Danny]

Hey there :) I'm new but I saw this thread and thought I'd give it a shot as I've been wanting something new to do with my classic Pokémon games :D

I completed a Rock-type run of Pokémon Yellow a few weeks back - capturing footage of every Gym and Pokémon League battle on film with the VBA :) Sadly I don't know how to convert the filetype to make it suitable to upload on YouTube as it's my first time using the record fuction :P

I also completed a Ground-type run of Ruby whilst on holiday last week, although none of it was filmed :( Was good fun though :D

I'm currently planning to do a challenge run of some sort of the 2nd generation, so any suggestions for challenging ones are welcome :D

 

[Timmetje]

I have chosen. I'm gonna do/try a Ultimate Poison monotype run.
I'm gonna do Firered-Gold-Ruby-Platinum.
I'm gonna start right now!
