Episode 3
There they are! Enjoy!

 

[vaporeon7]

I went through Victory Road and beat Wally. I then trained my Pokemon a bit before challenging the Pokemon League. Sidney was easy and I mainly used Masquerain's Silver Wind. Phoebe was easy as well. Glacia was extremely hard to beat because none of my Pokemon resisted any of the moves. I used Ice Beam to destroy Drake. Steven was also rather easy. I have now finished the 3rd part of my 4 part Ultimate Monotype Challenge. I will soon begin the final part on Pokemon Diamond.

More updates:

I have fought Wattson with Lv 30 Mightyena, Nuzleaf, and Sableye.
I fought Flannery with Lv 30 Mightyena, Nuzleaf, and Sableye. Her Torkoal knocked out my Mightyena (damn Overheat), but I finished her off with Sableye.
Went to the desert, and caught a Cacnea.

Current team:
Mightyena/Bite
> Tackle/Howl/Sand-attack/Bite
> Lv 38

Sableye/Julia
> Faint Attack/Scratch/Detect/Night Shade
> Lv 35

Nuzleaf/Gary Oak
> Bullet Seed/Nature Power/Faint Attack/Strength
> Lv 36

Cacnea/CactusJake
> Absorb/Growth/Leech Seed/Pin Missile
> Lv 21

Current raising my Cacnea (and the rest of my team) up to Lv 40 to challenge Norman. Then get Surf, get Good Rod, grab a Corphish, raise that up some levels...

Signed up just so I could join this challenge.
I am doing a Dark-Type through Emerald to start.

Team:
:t262: 27 Hasty~Intimidate
Tackle/Howl/Odor Sleuth/Bite
:t274: 26 Modest~Chlorophyll
Bullet Seed~Fake Out~Growth~Nature Power

Astonish/Fake Out/Detect/Night Shade

Highlights:

• Defeated Roxanne easily with Nuzleaf's Bullet Seed at level 17.
• Defeated Brawly in the cheesiest fashion with a freshly caught Sableye. I forget what level he finished at but I started the Gym at level 11.
• Defeated Wattson with everyone at 24. Wasn't too rough a fight but I did have to burn a few sodapops.

Now moving on north of Mauville to get myself a Cacnea! :)

Sorry for not posting recently, I completely forgot about my Water-Monotype challenge. This'll have to be brief, as I'm relying on memory, but I'll start posting more frequently...

Ok, due to... How do I put this? 'Technical' issues, I cannot continue my Water-MonoType in Sinnho, so I would appreciate it if I was removed from the participants list.

I would, however, like to join the Bug-MonoType on Pokemon SoulSilver, as it seems many people have been enjoying that.

Bug-MonoType-Challenge!

I'm going to make an update now. Pretty much my first real one, too. :P I kind of put this off for the whole summer because I went through the whole Victory Road, noticed my show was coming on, and quickly plugged the game into the charger. On the commercial, the game had frozen. T^T So, I'm still at the beginning of Victory Road. Oh, and, in case anybody forgot, I'm on FireRed.

Player: KING
Time: 33:11

The gym leaders have been pretty easy, and the hardest part was probably spending a couple of hours in the Game Corner for Ice Beam. D: So my team...

Rawr-Level 51

~Aerial Ace
~Poison Fang
~Steel Wing
~Bite

Boo-Level 53

~Psychic
~Confuse Ray
~Thunderbolt
~Shadow Ball

Nidoking-Level 52

~Earthquake
~Brick Break
~Megahorn
~Ice Beam

Ugly-Level 52

~Razor Leaf
~Toxic
~Leach Seed
~Strength

That's it. I need some opinions on the movesets, because those are the final ones. I wanted Sludge Bomb somewhere, but I can't get it until after the Elite Four. I also wanted another Shadow Ball on Golbat, but that means going through the whole Game Corner fiasco again. So yeah. Opinions.

 

[dragon0fangz]

WOOOO
I resumed my Ice challenge today.
So, yeah, i worked up to the E4. I beat the E4, like thus

Will
was probably the hardest. I kept trying to train my Piloswine cause it was sorely underleveled. I eventually beat him with a combination of different attacks from my Sneasel and Lapras.

Koga
Easily beat with Piloswine, but he kept getting toxic'd. Waste of Full Restores.

Bruno
Once again, easy, but i could only beat him with lapras. Also a waste of full restores.

Karen
Pretty easy, but her combination of types gave me a bit of a hard time. Vileplume, Gengar, IE.

Lance
Surprisingly hard. Wiped out most of my pokemon, and left my Lapras to fend for herself. Nevertheless, it was a bit easy once it got down to Lapras. Lapras got overleveled as a result, though.

MY TEAM:
Sneasel/Nyuura lv 44
"image removed"
Fury Cutter
Iron Tail
Dynamicpunch
Faint Attack
Very diverse, has helped me out of a lot of tight spots. Low defense still a problem.

Lapras/Laplace lv 46
"image removed"
Surf
Perish Song
Confuse Ray
Ice Beam
Obviously the MVP, im sure you all expected this. Honestly not my favorite pokemon, but is a good sweeper with lots of survivability.

Piloswine/Inomuu lv 40
"image removed"
Take Down
Powder Snow
Earthquake
Swagger
Finally has become a worthwhile member of my team with earthquake and swagger. still a tad underleveled.

 

[King!]

Yay I beat the E4! My team is basically the same with some higher levels. It was mostly a team effort, although Boo helped the most (especially Thunderbolt) and Golbat helped the least. :P But i did it! The time was 36:50 I'm really slow. D:

It doesn't specify in the OP, so does this mean that I'm onto Johto now?

 

[Sgt_Grovyle]

Well after days of grinding it out I can finally leave generation 1 and 2 and head into the advance generation. I'll actually slow down and post more updates but I just wanted to hurry up and get Silver over with.

-Beat Red in Silver Version after 45:23 of gameplay w/speed up button.

I think I never realized how godly the emulators' speed up function was, until today xD

03 Oct. 2010 - The time is 17:15. New Log

Started over on Pokémon Yellow. Named myself S, and my rival Derp. Did standard delivery boy stuff, caught a Nidoran of each gender. Grindfest to level 12, and took on Brock. Nothing remarkable here.

Kept pressing on, Mt. Moon was over before I could notice. Abused the Potion glitch with Pikachu to get the Bulbasaur. Grindfest until it got Vine Whip, and took on Misty without problems.

S.S. Anne was a breeze, and Surge didn't pose a threat with Nidoking and Nidoqueen on my team. Taught Flash to Pikachu, and went through Rock Tunnel. Skipped most of the trainers on the route to Celadon, beat Giovanni at the Game Corner, got the Silph Scope and beat Erika just fur da lulz.

Went back to Lavender, caught a Gastly and kicked some Rocket ass. Now at the beginning of the Cycling Road.

Roster:
:t001: Atlan, Level 35. Tackle - Poisonpowder - Leech Seed - Razor Leaf
:t031: Kali, Level 35. Body Slam - Poison Sting - Thunderbolt - Double Kick
:t034: Therion, Level 35. Thrash - Poison Sting - Horn Attack - Double Kick
:t093: Mind Fart, Level 34. Hypnosis - Confuse Ray - Night Shade - Psychic

I started the last part of my Ultimate Flying Monotype Challenge on Diamond. I started by catching a Starly. I then got to Jublife City and then went west and caught a Magikarp. I then beat my rival and went east until I reached Orgeburgh City. I then went through the mine, trained a bit, Starly evolved and beat the gym.

Mukuhawk (Staravia) Lv19.
Moves: Double Team, Endeavor, Quick Attack, Wing Attack.

Koiking (Magikarp) Lv15.
Moves: Splash, Tackle.

*Cough* *Cough*

Actually, I would like to change my Mono-type since I haven't started it. Could it be changed into a Bug Ultimate Mono-type. I've sort of started it a little in Kanto, but I wont post until I'm accepted.

[Sgt_Grovyle]

With Johto out of the way I began my electric mono-type run through Hoenn. I had to play through the first two badge with only Marshstomp so I'll just start where I caught my first electric type

-With a very over leveled Marshstomp I got to Route 110 and caught Amp'd the Minun
-After some grinding I caught Shadowbolt the Electrike and soon after, Volty the Plusle
-I go back and battle the trainers I skipped and do some grinding before I battle May
-Plusle+Minun+Double Battle=Epic Win
-After clearing Route 110, I got my mach bike and battled all the trainers around Mauville before I took on the gym
-After a lot of grinding, Shadowbolt evolves into Manectric!
-I take on the Mauville gym and managed to sneak in a win against Wattsons steel type Mangeton
-Headed north of Mauville and beat some more trainers
-Got through the fiery path and onto Route 113 where I saved and called it a day

Team at this Point:

Shadowbolt(Manectric) Lv. 28

Amp'd & Volty(Minun & Plusle) Lv. 27 and 26
