[Roughsponge]

Sorry for not updating lately, just been pretty busy... But I will update pretty soon (either tonight or tomorrow).
Just letting you know that I haven't given up :P

 

[Alakazam17]

Okay, everything for the Ultimate Monotype Challenge is now updated. I'd like to congratulate tachikaze316 for completing the challenge, including the Isshu leg of the journey. :D

And in regards to everyone participating in the Single Game Monotype Challenges...those are not my, but rather myrrhman's department. He has been gone for nearly three weeks, but that's still an understatement when compared to my absense. So let's wait and see, for now.

 

[Roughsponge]

Pokemon Ruby Psychic Challenge

Current Team

Tami (Ralts) lvl 16 @ Oran Berry
Confusion
Growl
Double Team
Teleport
​

It took me that long to beat Roxanne, instead of using attacks straight out I had to strategize. Double Team + X Special finally worked. Not to mention having to level Ralts so it was ready for the battle. Being on the first gym hopefully Ralts will be better with a wider moveset.​

*UPDATE ON POKEMON CRYSTAL ULTIMATE POISON MONOTYPE CHALLENGE*

LAND OF DRAGONS
So I made it through the ICE PATH to BLACKTHORN CITY. I healed up, and headed towards the GYM. I fought my way through, using STRENGTH when needed, until I got to CLAIR.

Spoiler:

She put up a good fight, and I was expecting nothing more, since she IS the last GYM LEADER in JOHTO.

Spoiler:

Even though she lost, she refused to give me the RISING BADGE, and told me that I should take the DRAGON CHALLENGE or whatever to prove to her that I am worthy of competing at the INDIGO PLATEAU.

Spoiler:

Party after GYM:

I exited the GYM and surfed around back to find a cave, which led to the DRAGON'S DEN. I surfed around and diminished a whirlpool and entered the building within.

They asked me a series of questions, all which are shown with my answers below.

Spoiler:

The Dragon Master, which is what I am going to call him for this purpose, told me I cared deeply for POKEMON when CLAIR walked in, thinking I failed, but to her surprise, she found out that I...

Spoiler:

She had to hand over the RISING BADGE.

Spoiler:

Once I got outside, she ran back after me, to apologize and to give me the TM DRAGONBREATH, which she said had nothing to do with hers lol.

Spoiler:

And then I got a call from PROF. ELM telling me to come to his LAB as soon as I could.

THE ROAD TO INDIGO
PROF. ELM's reason for me to come to his lab was to give me an all famous MASTER BALL, which I will probably never use do to this challenge requiring POISON TYPES, which, there are none in GEN II.

Spoiler:

I left the LAB and started SURFING east, when I found land and a guy explaining that I took my "first steps into KANTO".

Spoiler:

After realizing that TOJHO FALLS needed someone with the move WATERFALL, and realizing that my TENTACRUEL couldn't learn WATERFALL, I went back to ROUTE 32 to catch a QUILFISH, a POISON/WATER TYPE, like TENTACRUEL, who can learn WATERFALL.

After negating the waterfalls and traveling the ROUTES of KANTO, I came across the gate to VICTORY ROAD, where I guy wasn't going to let me through because I didn't have the badges of JOHTO, which I proved him wrong.

Spoiler:

After traveling VICTORY ROAD, which was a LOT easier than GEN I's VR, I came across my old RIVAL, KAMON, BATTLED with him, and won.

Spoiler:

Party after BATTLE:

INDIGO PLATEAU
I finally made it to INDIGO PLATEAU, where I will face the ELITE FOUR, and win. But all this will be done tomorrow, because its 2:48 AM and I'm tired as crap. So what I leave you with now is a picture of me standing in front of the POKEMON LEAGUE looking "happy" lol.

Dragon UMC Update


I had to get off the computer in a hurry last time i played, so i didn't get a chance to update. What happened was, i defeated wallace with my high leveled pokemon, made my way through victory road, without flash once again. I demolished wally, and i beat the first member of the elite four, Sydney. Now, to continue the last part of my UMC...


Phoebe:
Phoebe was really easy. throughout most of the battle, i had snapper use crunch, except for sableye, where i had swan use dragon breath so i wouldnt become infatuated.

Glacia:
Glacia gave me some trouble. Salamander used brick break trhoughout the whole battle, basically.

I'll finish the rest soon, and i'll post my final team then.

I would like to sign up for the ultimate mono-type challenge using the Poison type. My order will be Leaf Green, Heart Gold, Ruby, Platinum, then either White or Black when they come out. I don't want to use emulators on this challenge. I'll start updating once I see my name on the challengers list.

P.S. This is my first challenge I've ever taken up on these forums so correct any mistakes that I make so I don't make them again please! :)

 

[rippedupmemories]

I can't choose between doing a ghost mono, or a steel mono! PM me/ reply telling me which one you think would be better! Btw, This is for Pearl♥!

Have fun with ghost I think

Final update for my Dragon UMC in the hoenn region.

Draco was easy. It only took a few dragon breaths from salamander to kill all of his pokemon.


Steven, was the hardest. I had to use toxic on everything that i could. Earthquake helped, like always, and so did steel wing

Hoenn is now finished...

My Final Team

Salamander/Salamence

Level 52

-Brick Break
-Dragon Breath
-Bite
-Headbutt
Having him in the begging made this so much easier. He basically swept through everything. The only time he was very useful was against steven, but thats only one fight.



Swan/Altaria

Level 51

-Fly
-Steel Wing
-Dragon Breath
-Dragon Dance

Swan was one of the pokemon i was excited about using. But after i gave her fly, it kinda killed the mood. I always end up giving one of my team members fly, but oh well. She was useful throughout most of the game.


Snapper/Flygon

Level 51

-Crunch
-Toxic
-Dragon Breath
-Earthquake

Snapper wasn't very useful throughout this run. It may be the fact that he kinda got a late start, but still. He was useful in the end, but any of my pokes could learn toxic and earthquake.



Still no immediate sign of me getting platinum. I'm hoping i get a hob and then i can buy it, but we'll just have to wait.. I'm going to do the Normal UMC next. I'll probably post the first update soon, since i am very bored.

Have fun with ghost I think

I'll do that then! My name will be Phantom (girl, not a boy!) And I'll trade over a Ghastly lvl 1 from my Platinum (is that okay?)

The Start of the Ultimate Journey

I decided to post my first update even though I haven't officially been accepted as a challenger. Anyone know how long it takes to update the list?

Name: Vega
Rival: Joraho

Starter: Bulbasaur (Odin)
He is really quite energetic!

My first battle with my rival's Charmander went well thanks to two critical hits in a row!

Route 1: Nothing interesting really, just gained a level from lower leveled wild pokemon.

Viridian City: Obtained the package for Oak, returned to Pallet Town to deliver it. Obtained my first set of Poke Balls as well as a Map.
Btw, every town in the first generation is named after a color yes? You could almost say a whole PALLET of colors......)

Current Team:
Bulbasaur (Odin)
Nature: Bold (meh)
Level: 9
Moveset: Tackle, Growl, Leech Seed

Route 22:
Went into battle agaisnt Joraho with my level 9 Odin. Pidgey went down easily, but slowly thanks to Odin's Bold nature. Charmander went down even more slowly thanks to it using growl most of the battle -_-.

Back in Viridian City: Watched the Old Man catch a stupid Weedle, then he gave me a free T.V.!

Route 2: Odin can KO most wild pokemon with a Vine Whip attack.

Viridian Forest: Gathered some items, trained against the Bug Catchers. Weedles and Kakunas were very annoying. I had to retreat about halfway through to go back to the Pokecenter to replenish my PP.

Pewter City: Healed and went straight to Brock.

Current Team:
Bulbasaur (Odin)
Level: 14
Moveset: Tackle, Growl, Leech Seed, Vine Whip

Brock's lad went down and leveled Odin up, learned Sleep Powder, which I suspect will be useful later.

Gym Leader Brock: Two Vine Whips later I emerged victorious with my first badge and an Ivysaur.

Route 3: Passed around as many trainers I could so I could get to the grass patch and catch another team member, a Nidoran (Female). I nick-named her Hena and started training against the trainers I skipped before Mt. Moon.

Current Team:
Ivysaur (Odin)
Level: 18
Moveset: Tackle, Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, Vine Whip

Nidoran F (Hena)
Nature: Lonely
Level: 10
Moveset: Growl, Scratch, Tail Whip

Route 4: Healed up and headed to Mt. Moon!

Mt. Moon: First thing I did was catch the third member of my team, a Zubat and named him Nimbus. Then I explored the first floor, gathered items and trained against the trainers. Went down a lower level and faced off against a Team Rocket Grunt. Saved my progress and headed to work. See ya next time!
