Btw, I'm really liking these Monotype challenges. They make me think alot more over their movesets and interest me alot more than playing Pokemon normally. Can't wait for Fire Monotype of Emerald for some reason.

Well, if you use an emulator then technically you have access to all the games lol. Also, usually people make updates are made throughout the game, not just once at the end (although I'm not sure if you meant gym instead of game). I typically like to update once every two gyms or so, depending how far I get in a day. Have fun! :D.

[captainkapow]

Last badget get.

Took down Juan. Battle wasn't overly difficult with Shiftry, Crawdaunt and Ebony doing most of the work. His Seadra was the main contender and definitely put up a huge fight. It was a back and forth battle until he used Rest the second time and I was able to Swords Dance up and 1 shot it. (Yay).

I'm sure his harem will console him adequately.

Going to level up a bit and hit the elite four.

My Dark Emerald Mono-Type team:

:t262: L.42 Shadow the Naive Mightyena
Bite / Dig / Poison Fang / Toxic
:t275: L.45 Penumbra the Modest Shiftry

Update

After defeating the elite 4, i got the ticket from professor elm boarded the ship. I fought every trainer on the ship and found the old mans granddaughter. I left the ship and went to vermillions gym and challenged lt. surge. I gave Hydra its exp. share and seahorse took his whole team out with surf.

Walked over to lavender town and went to the gym and challenged sabrina. Sabrina got pretty close to winning. My slaves kinda saved me. I sent them out so i could revive my fallen pokes.

Went to celadon and checked out the tm's there. Since there was nothing useful, i went to the gym. Erika was easy until bellosm. She took minimum damage from horsea's twister and killed her, so Hydra had to finish it with slam.

I forgot to grab a bike.. again. So i went back to the elite 4 and killed them real fast.

Flew to golden rod, got my bike, swam to kanto and made my way to fuschia. I went into the gym and killed janine. Slam and twister did the job.

Made it through rock tunnel and to the power plant. Went to cerlean and got the part, went back to the plant, gave it to them, went to lavender, got the radio card, flew back to cerlean, ran into a trainer, and hydra evolved into a dragonite, finally. Found misty on a date, went to her gym and challenged her. Hydra died against her lapras, due to blizzard, and seahorse was constantly getting frozen by her starmie. I killed it though.

Forgot to get the radio to, so i challenged the E4 again.. Flew to goldenrod and got the radio thingy on the pokegear. Swam back to kanto again.. Flew to vermilion, woke snorlax and killed him. Ran threw diglet cave and killed brock really quick.

Made it to pallet town, swam to cinnabar, met blue, swam to the islands, killed blaine, swam back to cinnabar, and blue went back to his gym.

Flew to viridian and beat blue easily.

Lost really bad against red, so i'm grinding them to level 70 on the E4.


My Current Team...


Hydra/Dragonite

Level 64

-Slam
-Wing Attack
-Thunder Wave
-Outrage


Seahorse/Kingdra

Level 67

-Surf
-Smokescreen
-Agility
-Twister

My next update, i will have defeated red.

After about 15 E4 fights, i bought a lot of items (revives and full restores) and i challenged Red


Red, defeated

He started with his pikachu, and i started with seahorse. I used surf and it was dead. His next pokemon was espeon. I used surf twice, dead. Next up, snorlax. I sent out hydra and started using outrage and slam until it died with slam. The next one was blatoise. I had seahorse use twister until it fainted. Next was venusaur. Hydra took it out easily with wing attack. One or 2 shots. And his final pokemon was charizard. Sea horse used surf and that was the end of it.


My Final Team

Seahorse/Kingdra

Level 75

-Surf
-Smoke Screen
-Agility
-Twister

Seahorse was really helpful. Especially since i basically did a solo run with her.


Hydra/Dragonite

Level 72

-Slam
-Wing Attack
-Thunder Wave
-Outrage

Hydra ended up as a filler pokemon. I really didn't need him to do this one. If i didn't catch him, i probably would have a level 90 kingdra or higher.


Done with johto now. The next game will be,Sapphire. I think I'll hack in a Bagon to begin with. But i won't start that till later.

[the :D]

holy crap this looks entertaining... a while ago, I started a challenge in a LeafGreen ROM, but never got around to posting it. luckily, I've kept a vigilant log of what I've done.

here's my log so far:
____________________________

UMC -- LeafGreen -- WATER type

00:00 - started game -- player name 'RED', rival name 'BLUE'. starter SQUIRTLE.
00:02 - beat BLUE in first battle in OAK's lab.
00:22 - up to this point, training SQUIRTLE. now level 9, almost 10. bought some items for the forest ahead.
00:36 - got to PEWTER CITY. started gym challenge. SQUIRTLE now level 12.
01:06 - beat BROCK, SQUIRTLE now level 15.
01:10 - SQUIRTLE evolved into WARTORTLE.
01:23 - paid an 'outrageous' $500 for MAGIKARP (I mean, I think it's fair...).
02:13 - took care of TEAM ROCKET and got the DOME FOSSIL (KABUTO, I think).
02:24 - got to CERULEAN CITY.
02:29 - began CERULEAN GYM challenge. defeated first trainer, 2HKO each pokemon.
02:34 - ended CERULEAN GYM challenge. defeated MISTY. BITE being my main asset here.
02:39 - beat BLUE in second battle.
02:57 - took NUGGET BRIDGE challenge, won, earned 1 NUGGET.
03:29 - got past all the approximately 70,000 trainers on the route to BILL's house.
03:46 - MAGIKARP (finally) evolves into GYARADOS.
03:49 - arrive in VERMILLION CITY. get VS SEEKER in POKECENTER.
04:29 - got on the SS ANNE and beat BLUE a third time.
04:34 - finished off the rest of the trainers with cheifly GYARADOS. left ship.
04:38 - walking in the grass looking for a MEOWTH (an HM slave). finally caught him after much effort (all moves too powerful = 1HKO).
05:02 - (nervously) began VERMILLION GYM challenge. hoping that the fact I taught WARTORTLE DIG will make a difference.
05:05 - DESTROYED the first trainer's PIKACHUs. hopes a little higher now.
05:14 - FIRST EVER LOSS IN ANY POKEMON GAME. LT. SURGE wiped the floor with WARTORTLE and GYARADOS. not surprising, but discouraging nonetheless. WOULD HAVE WON FOR ONE THING: RAICHU's DOUBLE TEAM.
05:17 - took care of RAICHU with DRAGON RAGE - 2HKO. defeated LT. SURGE.
05:45 - 'hello, RED. have you caught 10 pokemon yet? no? NO HM05 FOR YOU!' looks like I'm going to have to catch some pokemon.
05:56 - went on a catching spree and caught 3 pokemon, one of them CATERPIE who I plan to evolve to get the other 2 entries.
07:05 - entered ROCK TUNNEL.
07:57 - get to LAVENDER TOWN. beat BLUE in fourth battle in POKEMON TOWER (no RATICATE??).

First update for dragon UMC on sapphire.

I dont really have to explain what happens in the beginning , so i won't. I chose treecko as my starter since torchic poses more of a challenge than any of them.. After killing may and getting my pokeballs, i hacked in a level 2 bagon. Hacking it in was actually VERY difficult. And catching it was even harder. I eventually got it though. On my way to the forest, i helped wally catch a ralts. Against the rich boy with the zigizagoon, he used a full restore to heal it... I found that to be very interesting.. And stupid. I went through the forest, saved the devon worker, made it to rustboro. I entered my least favorite gym. I always die a thousand times against roxanne. I enter the gym at level 11 and after i defeated her i was level 16.. Her geodude was kinda easy. It died by a few bites. Nosepass sucked. Once it used rock tomb, i was slower than it. I had to use a potion once, so i could do the final blow.

Ran into the devon worker guy. Got the devon goods. Got the letter to give to steve and left to mr. brinneys house. road to dewford. ran through rock cave in the dark. gave steven his letter. went to the gym and challenged brawly. It took me 3 tries to beat him. I used headbutt the whole time.

I'm done for now.

My Current Team...

Level 20

-Bite
-Rage
-Leer
-Headbutt

 

[HGLover]

Well, I'll post my progress since the 5th gym in pokemon sapphire. I beat norman with x items, then I went to mauville and turned off the generator in new mauville. Then I surfed east from mauville, eliminated the bird keepers, and fought some of the bug keepers/maniacs north of the bird keepers. Then I took care of the 1st pokemon ranger after several tries (I hate mega drain...). The 2nd wasn't overly hard, and then I headed north to the weather institute. Beat team aqua there, beat may right after, and skipped the ninja boys and healed at fortree city. Then I went back and eliminated the ninja boys for xp. Started route 120, beating 1 trainer and getting a rare candy. Then I taught facade to lombre. Afterwards, I went and defeated gabby and ty. I told them, "Um". Then I laid waste to the bird keeper here. Got the devon scope from steven, so next time is the fortree gym!

[boomerjp]

Well, my last update was at the end of LeafGreen with my Fighting powerhouse team. Now on to SoulSilver for Johto. I am pretty far into the game at this point since I have forgotten to update, so a lot of details are going to be pretty skimpy. For the sake of you readers, I'll use bullets so you won't be intimidated by a foot long wall of text.

Named myself I again, and Rival ASH.

Update 1 - Start to Victory Road

Spoiler:

• So in Johto, the first Fighting type you can catch is Heracross via Headbutt. So I simply changed out my starter Cyndaquil for a Torchic via hack. Cyndaquil went into my PC box at Violet City. Named my Torchic Burn.

• Ran through Slowpoke Well/Rival/Sprout Tower/First gym pretty handily, evolving into Combusken when I beat Falkner, learning double kick.

• Grinded down to Azalea, beat Rival/Bugsy pretty easily (Fire is OP as starter in Johto tbh) and once I got Cut, I taught Headbutt to my HM Slave and caught a L4 Heracross (named Impale) in Azalea Town.

• Through Ilex Forest and on the other side, I hatched my Ralts egg , named him Squib, and started leveling him along with Impale. Impale learned Brick Break just in time for Whitney.

• SquirtBottle and one dead Sudowoodo later I was in Ecruteak, where Squib evolved to Kirlia. Unfortunately the only Dawn Stones are obtainable in Kanto, so I hacked in a Dawn stone to evolve Squib into Gallade.

• Went to the Burned Tower, saw the 3 legendary beasts, Got Surf from the TR harasser, beat Morty, ran over to grab strength, and then surfed on the patch of water in Ecruteak to catch a Poliwhirl L20, named Wash. Taught Surf.

• Impale knows Aerial Ace so Cianwood was a cinch.

• Burn / Wash for Jasmine.

• Cleared out Rocket Hideout in Mahogany after killing Gyrados. Beat Pryce with combination of Squib (Magical Leaf), Burn (Ember), Wash (Hypnosis/Body Slam). My team is all L33.

• Got a call from Elm to deal with Team Rocket again in Goldenrod Radio Tower. Chow time for Squib and his Psycho Cut.

• Many trainers later, I faced Executive Archer and his Houndour/Houndoom/Koffing (why not evolve that sucker???). Houndoom was tough, but I managed to get off a Hypnosis and 2 Surfs later he was down.

• Short trip through Ice Patch and into Blackthorn City. I knew I need to get Squib a couple moves from his past, so I had farmed up a couple Heart Scales from Rock Smash (It took me a long time -_-) and taught him Leaf Blade and Night Slash here.

• I was a bit under-leveled for Claire (Who isn't by this time?) and it took me a couple tries to get the right rotation for her Dragonairs and Kingdra. Hypnosis was my best friend.

• On to Dragon Lair to get my 8th badge, then got a call from Elm to see him. Got the Master Ball, and went to see the kimono girls. This is a tough series, but I managed to get through with only Impale fainting.

• Went to Whirl Islands and used the Master Ball on Lugia for HM Slave purposes.

• Surfed to Kanto, traveled up to VR and went through it, beat my Rival with only Impale/Wash. Finally got a call to re-battle for a Water Stone, and went and got it after I left the cave.

• Elite Four time! My team was all around 42-45 before Will.

Elite Four (First Time)

Spoiler:

• Will took a couple tries, as all my pokemon are weak to Flying and all but Squib is weak to Psychic. I have no Ice moves either, only lame Rock Tomb for Heracross. Rock Slide isn't until Brock, and Stone Edge is Battle Frontier territory. Finally got through with Squib out speeding Xatu and not hurting himself with confusion (whew...)

• Koga was pretty easy. Except for damn Crobat. Double Team is EVIL. The rest fell to Psycho Cut/Blaze Kick.

• Bruno was easy too. His fighters have weak defense and Onix is a joke to Surf. Psycho Cut/Aerial Ace took them down.

• Karen was easy too. Fighting > Dark. Impale (Close Combat) and Burn (Bulk Up/Double Kick) took care of them with ease.

• Oh Lance. Lance Lance Lance. I hate you so much. It doesn't seem fair that all his pokemon are flying types. Charizard/Aerodactyl owned me for a few times until I used Max Revive on Wash after he died to Aerial Ace. Got Lance to use 2 Full Restores on Aerodactyl alone before Surf finally took him out. Charizard got a Hypnosis (Thank God) Surf Combo. Hyper Potion stalled L50 Dragonite until he confused himself with Outrage, then I was able to kill him with Body Slam. Nothing pretty, but I won.

I am currently in Kanto with 3 or so Badges to go. Nothing really gave me any trouble, not even Sabrina. Still need Fuschia, Viridian, and Cinnabar Island Gyms.

Okay, I've made some progress here on LeafGreen.

• Battled through Rock Tunnel after Magikarp evolved into Gyarados (\O/) and I taught it Water Pulse and destroyed the Hikers with it.

• Used a couple Repels and defeated all the Channelers with Freed's Confusion.
• Went back down, biked to Celadon and got Fly, taught it to Bob.
• Cleared out the Hideout in the Game Corner with everyone chipping in, defeated Giovanni easily with Gyarados and Water Pulse+Dragon Rage.
• Challenged the gym, rotating everyone and defeated Erica easily with Charmeleon.
• Went back to Lavender Town and killed Marowak and rescued Mr Fuji.
• Going back to Celadon, I killed the Snorlax and started down Cycling Road but ended up going back to Lavender Town to take the easier route to Fuchsia down the coast.

Hoehn Electric update:

-defeated team aqua at mt pyre easily
-went to jagged cliff and into team magma's secret lair. had a little trouble beating maxie, his camerupt wiped me out the first time. second time used Raichu's double team against mightyena to gain some evasiveness against camerupt but he used roar so that didn't help. beat his mightyena than maxie sent out camerupt. i sent out electrode and used selfdestruct right away. took out more than half his hp. then used magneton's supersonic and got camerupt to hurt himself before killing magneton with earthquake. manectric finished him off with strength.
-currently in lilly cove getting ready to move on
