UHGGGG!

I accidently lost my game file and I was at the Elite Four!!! OMG!!

Anyone know of a way to undo something on VBA or like get a saved file back? UGH!

Oh well.... I guess I'll start a diffrent typer now....

Could I possibly hack myself there.....or would that be unfair?

Sigh. I know what you're going through. Its happened to me before, and it feels bad.

I wouldn't mind you hacking back to where you were, but if you're doing an Ultimate Challenge, you'll have to talk that over with Alakazam17. She controls your fate.

Also, funny lisdexic story, I definitely read that as HUGGGG! the first time and thought "that's not an appropriate cry to accompany what happened!"

 

[BenjiTheKid]

Anyway, getting back to my challenge I have no updates; I did find something to sell quite a long time ago, but I've been, well, hypnotized by Brown and I'm more up to playing Brown than Emerald for now, as the only thing that I would be capable of if I played Emerald would be to grind, as I'm toast if I challenge Wattson. Doesn't mean I'm giving up though; I'll update as soon as Wattson gets what he DESERVES!

September 7th....Wow, I'm ashamed. I didn't ever quit this challenge EVER, I just forgot about it...Wattson was too hard. Grinding was impossible. I wasn't giving up, but I began to lose interest....

Anyway, although I understand why I was removed, I request to be added again to the list, because I AM continuing, and I AM gonna finish this.

Maybe you could train Nincada a bunch since he's part ground type? Use Flash a bunch so that they can't hit you?

For me, I started Sapphire. Named myself Aqua, got Mudkip, caught a Snorunt on Rt. 201 or whatever the first route is. Blah blah beat Roxanne and the Grunt in Rusturf Tunnel.

I just realized how much RSE is hatin on Ice Types. Ice has 4 weaknesses (Fire, Fighting, Rock, Steel). 3 of those are gyms, and the fourth one is the champion. >.<

Forgot the Roxanne screenshot, so boohoo.

Brawly: Lots of double teams, leers, Icy Winds, and Bites. Learned Headbutt after I defeated Makuhita. That would have come in handy right before I fought him...

Chapter 2 - Brock's Rock Hard...Rock Types.
Well...been a while since I last played Leaf Green, but if I remember correctly, it's time for Viridian Forest...I think. Anyway, Buddy got a ton of level ups, and I got some training in. Pewter Gym wasn't tough at all. It was a total pushover of a gym. Now...Brock was easy too, so I got the very first badge at last.

This concludes this chapter of my Grass Ultimate Monotype Challenge.​

May through Flannery.

Spoiler:

Wattson Strategy: Double Team up on Magnemite, heal, spam Bite/Headbutt and watch him flinch. Icy Wind Voltorb, repeat Magnemite strategy on Magneton. For some reason Magneton only used Thunder Wave, which always missed me. I was expecting some difficulty with Shock Wave, but there was just no way.

Flannery Strategy: Double Team up on Slugma. Overheat almost killed me in one hit, but it didn't, so when I healed, the next one just took me to yellow. The next one missed and the third barely took me out of green. After that no more attacks hit me.

Next up: Snorunt evolves, I take on a super easy 6th Gym, and I get my other team member (hint, its the only other Ice Type in the game that's not legendary.)

Edit: Nobody's done anything in an hour and a half, so I'll just have to edit this post. I'm going to keep going til I beat this challenge tonight...
Stuff happened, I beat 3 Gyms and caught Spheal who soon evolved into Sealeo, I beat Aqua in their Hideout.

Spoiler:

Edit2: Got to Victory Road.

Spoiler:

Final Chapter: I go through Victory Road, my friend helps me train for the Elite Four, and I put my Icy Team to the test!

Update for Ultimate Monotype Challenge (Dark).

Update #2 on Diamond.

I still hate the roundabout plot of Diamond and Pearl, the early gyms are far apart, and the later ones are close together. Platinum is much better in that respect. The only reason I'm playing Diamond is because Murkrow and Skunky aren't in Platinum.

• Got to Veilstone and beat Maylene pretty easily - I did have to use all three members in the end.
• Got Fly, then went down to Pastoria both ways.
• Beat Wake, then went to Celestic Town and got Surf.
• Surfed around a bit, then beat Fantina with 3 Shadow Balls from Freaky.
• Went to Canalave City and Iron Island, then Hazmat swept Byron mostly with Flamethrower.
• Beat Saturn and Mars at the lakes.
• Trudged to Snowpoint and beat Candice easily.
• Flew back to Veilstone and found the Dusk Stone - Boss evolved into Honchkrow!
• Saved in the TG Warehouse.

Done with Sapphire Ice. I really didn't have any problems with the Elite Four. Cornflower swept Sydney, Bondi swept Phoebe, Cornflower Stalled Glacia, Cornflower destroyed Drake, I used Rare Candies and DoubleTeamHaxed Steven. The only moves that hit Bondi were Aerial Aces from Skarmory.
