Hey, I'd be glad to help.

Template: This is really up to you. Most people just put general and important things that happened in the game. I'll use a Fire Ruby Monotype as an example, since that's the one you're going to be doing. I would include at the start: what you named yourself, which starting Pokemon you chose (which would be torchic in your case), what you nicknamed it if you wanted to, mention that you fought May (when you fight her). Stuff like that. I'd include any Gym leader fights you have, any rival battles, any fire Pokemon that you catch (which I think are just Torchic, Numel, Slugma, and Torcoal, if I'm not mistaken) as well as any HM slaves you have on your team. You know, just post general stuff that happens. Mention when you beat Maxie, Courtney, and Tabitha (his two admins). There's really not an exact template you have to follow, so many people like to do it different ways. Some people post it in a story form (those are fun to read), some people post just screenshots, and some (myself included sometimes) just make it as basic as:

Got Torchic (Flame)
Beat May
Beat Magma Grunt in Woods
Torchic Evolved into Combusken
Beat Roxanne
Beat Magma Grunt in Cave
...

Although most people make it a little more in depth than that. If you look at the last three posts above yours, jd, myself, and polkop are all following the same basic format. Again, its really up to you as to how you want to do it.

As far as the images, unfortunately, you can't post images until you have 15 posts total. PC rules are dumb When you do, you can go to any place that has sprites (I'd use Serebii probably, its pretty easy to use), right click on the sprite you want, and hit 'copy image location'. Then, come here, and when you want to put it in, click the little picture button on the task bar (it looks like yellow sky with two mountains and a sun) which is between the quote tags and email link. A little popup will come up telling you to enter the URL and you just have to hit CTRL+V to paste it. Its as easy as that!

If you want to post screenshots (like I did in my last post), and you are playing on an emulator (which is thankfully allowed), you just hit the screen capture button, then go to a place like imageshack where you can upload pictures. Find your picture (it default uploads to wherever your ROM is saved), upload it, right click the picture, copy image location, and paste it, just like the sprites.

Hope that helped!
 
Crap. I was planning on doing this mono with just pictures, but I forgot that if you take screenshots on VBA, close it, reopen it later, and take more screenshots, they overwrite the first ones. So I only have four. I'll try to remember what happened (I think i'll hit the major points)

Beat Red with Cyndiquil.
Hacked in a Magnemite (Alpha)
Beat Falkner
Deposited Mystery Egg in PC
Scared TR out of Slowpoke Well
Beat Bugsy and Red
Taught Cyndiquil cut and then Headbutt so I could catch a Pineco
Spent about an hour headbutting trees til I caught a Pineco (Beta)
Taught Beta Rollout and Headbutt, then did some good ole fashioned grinding.
Beat Whitney with Rollout.
Beat Morty (I think Beta fainted in this fight, can't really remember. Nobody could do any significant damage to Alpha, though. I was faster than the paralyzed Gengar and had awakenings, so he didn't get to nom my dreams.
Caught Krabby, got Surf and Strength. Taught them to Krabby.
Backtracked and caught a Hoot-hoot since it was now nighttime. Taught it Flash
Went to top of the lighthouse
Went to Cianwood City. Got there, then backtracked and fought a couple of swimmers til both of my Pokemon evolved.
Beat Chuck.
Taught Fly to Hoot-hoot.
Got SecretPotion
Healed Amphy
Beat Jasmine solo w/ Alpha. Sonicboom really helped against Steelix. So did Hyper Potions and Paralyze Heals.
Flew to Ecruteak and saved. Tomorrow I finish up.

- Came into the Distortion world, and realized that i'd never actually been there before.
- Beat Cyrus for the last time. I'm soooo underleveled, this was freaking HARD

If you do a few challenges, you will very soon get used to them. The concept was new to me too. Back in the day, I wouldn't teach anyone cut, and just hope that I didn't need it wherever I was going. Now, I always have at least two slots designated for my slaves.
 
Pokemon Crystal Monotype Challenge (Steel)

Only did a few things since my last update as a couple of them we're major events.
  • Finally arrived in Violet City and healed up my Pokémon
  • Headed north to the Sprout tower to do some training
  • Battled all the sages and met my rival, then battled the head sage and got HM05 (Flash)
  • Healed up my Pokémon again and went to the Violet City Gym
  • Battled the trainers and Steelix grew to Level 11
  • Talked to Falkner and challenged him to a battleof , didn't take much to take out his Pidgey with Steelix and his tackles, although Mudslap didn't help lowering his accuracy. Second was Pidgeotto, again not too hard as I switched to Magnemite and it only took a couple of Thundershocks, and Magnemite grew to Level 11.
  • Falkner handed over the Zephyr Badge & TM31 (Mudslap) which I taught to Steelix, exited the Gym and saved the game!

Won Against Falkner!

Yeah, those are fine. I think Shiny Gold and Liquid Crystal are both good to use too, but I'm not sure.

Ah right thanks, what I meant was using hacks like Emerald 386, you know where the gyms and trainers are edited to be harder, but only that, not one's with hacked maps ect.

Are you knowledgeable with hacks? Is there one of the harder trainer ones for Silver? That's my least favorite part about silver, fighting like a level 17 Golbat in Mahogany Town. I was actually asking people if I could hack games myself to make them a little harder. I just have a problem with Silver, all the others are good.

Also, copycat. You be stealing my type.

Edit for update:

Beat Pryce, Beat Rival, Stopped TR, Beat Claire and got Rising Badge. Then, when I could use waterfall, I did some spelunking to get: TM 40 (Defense Curl) that I taught to Beta, TM 18 (Rain Dance) to Alpha, and money for TM 25 (Thunder), also to Alpha. I was now ready for the Pokemon League, with my movesets almost final.
Beat Rival one more time. E4 time.
Will: Defense Curl + Rollout. Alpha killed Slowbro w/ Thunder.
Koga: Rain Dance + Thunder sweep.
Bruno: Defense Curl + Headbutt Hitmontop (couldn't rollout because he kept digging), exploded Hitmonchan, revived Beta, Defense Curl + Rollout Hitmonlee (he used swagger, so my rollout did ridiculous damage) but had to hyper potion, OHKO Machamp Rollout, OHKO Onix Rollout.
Karen: Exploded Umbreon. Healed against the one-damage-per-lick Gengar then decided to keep Alpha out. Rain Dance + Thunder Gengar, Thunder Houndoom (he roared Cyndiquil out who died) then Roll'dout Houndoom, Vileplume, and Murkrow with my awesome Defense. Btw, that damage that Beta has on the Karen screenie? 95% of that is from one Houndoom Flamethrower while it was raining.
Lance: Used a couple of Rare Candies on Beta so he could 2HKO Gyarados w/ Rollout and no DCurl. 2HKO Gyarados w/ Rollout (he helped me out w/ Rain Dance), almost fainted to Charizard but killed it w/ Rollout, stalled Outrage Dragonite w/ Alpha while I healed and used Thunder w/ Gyarados's Rain Dance, then swept the rest with DCurl Rollout.

On to Kanto

Well not very but I've got tools to edit all the trainers in G/S/C only problem is you can't change the amount of Pokémon in their teams, I might just edit them, and that's exactly why, I mean fighting a Level 19 Rattata after obtaining the 7th Badge is sligthly poor, and yeah, ahah, I kinda saw your Steel monotype and it made me want to try it out, I've never done a steel type but I've done a few others like fire, flying, electric, water ect.
 
Yeah, I just want them to have the same Pokemon they have (maybe evolve that lv. 17 Ratatta), but put them at like lv. 30. It makes a little more sense. Like there's a Cooltrainer after you save the radio tower that has like a lv. 27 Charmeleon, and that's it. Realistically, I don't think he could get that far with just a lv. 27 Charmeleon, even if the 7th gym is Ice. It should be like at least a 37 Charizard.
 
I'm starting a Dark mono on Sapphire.

-Started game
-Picked Treecko as starter (To make it tougher because Combusken is Fire/Fighting)
-Caught 2 Poochyena
-Helped WimpyWally catch his Ralts
-Stopped the mean grunt threatening the wimpy Devon employee
-Got to Rustboro and lost against the 1st Gym Trainer...(how embarassing >.<)
-Currently at Rustboro City with 2 Poochyena grinding until they learn Bite :/
