    I have finally finished Kanto!

    I took me about 10 tries to beat the champion because of his annoying Venasaur. -_-

    Well, now it's time for Johto. I hope it's okay that I didn't dp R/B and that I'm going to do Shiny Gold instead of G/S/C.

  • Woot! It looks like I've beaten Leaf Green's Elite four!!

    Ultimate Psychic Monotype Challenge - Kanto Complete!!

    I wanted to give everyone a detailed, or at least some what!, detailed story of what happened and junk but.. I got too into it, haha! I ended up just playing it all the way through without posting!! sorry!!

    Here's the final image, though!!

    pokemonleafgreen01p.png


    My Pokemon were all around level 50, the highest being 52 AFTER the Elite Four! Haha! I got lucky, honestly!! With two of the elite four being weak against my type, I didn't really have to try that hard after the first one and my Jynx tore through Lance easily!!

    Starting Johto on Heart Gold or Soul Silver next, I'm not sure which!!, and at School I'm already doing Hoenn on Emerald! I'll keep you guys posted and, of course, list which I'm talking about!

    :D Kanto Complete, baby!

    (My time is screwed up because of me leaving it unpaused for hours on end! Haha!)

  • I was doing a single monotype on White with steel, but it's been so fun I'm gonna have to change it to an ultimate. Would it be alright if I finished my White run and then moved on to FireRed, SoulSilver, Emerald and then Platinum? If not, understood but it would be great as I'm already pretty far into the game.
    -Started out and picked Snivy so I'm at a type disadvantage.
    -Did the beginning stuff, beat the first gym with Snivy and ditched it as soon as I beat the Plasma grunts in Wellspring Cave.
    -Caught Drilbur, named it Ares after the Greek God of War.
    -Level up Drilbur until he was sufficiently leveled to take on Lenora.
    -Grinded and grinded until I could finally take out Burgh's Leavanny with two Slash.
    -Evolved into Excadrill before taking on Elesa, destroyed her with Dig and Rock Slide.
    -Got rid of Plasma in Cold Storage and took out Clay (Earthquake>his pokemon)
    -Made it to Chargestone Cave where I was finally able to catch the second and third members of my team, Hephaestus the Klink and Aniketos the Ferroseed.
    -Gave Aniketos the Lucky Egg and trained until he evolved at level 40.
    -Gave Hephaestus the Lucky Egg, used his Charge Beam to solo Skyla's gym.
    -Klink evolved and just kept destroying so I used him over the others for a while, soloed Brycen without stopping to heal through all trainers.
    -Beat Plasma in Dragonspiral Tower and Hephaestus evolved into KlingKlang.
    -Saved outside of the Desert Resort.

    Spoiler:


    Edit: Took out Plasma at the Desert Resort
    -Caught Pawniard, named it Adonis
    -Trained Adonis up to level 48 with the Lucky Egg
    -Saved in front of Iris

    Spoiler:


    Edit: Beat Iris with Adonis.
    -Got the Master Ball from Juniper and started on Route 10.
    -Beat Cheren in front of Badge Check Gates.
    -Made it through Victory Road without stopping to catch a Durant, figured there was no point as Adonis and Ares already knew X-Scissor.
    -Adonis evolved while battling a trainer with the three elemental monkeys.
    -Took on the Elite 4 and lost after beating the first three, predictably to Marshal.
    -Put a Ferroseed and Pawniard I had caught before (bad natures) in my party as Revive fodder.
    -Ares learned Drill Run and critted most of Marshal's pokemon, taking him out.
    -Saved in front of N's room.

    Spoiler:


    Edit 2: Beat N and Ghetsis after taking out Zekrom.
    -Saved my progress after greeting Looker and getting the Super Rod.
    -I finished my White run of Steel type!

    Final Team:

    Ice-Type Ultima Monotype Challenge

    So I'd like to sign up for the Monotype Challenge! :D
    //EDIT I'm not going ultimate, I'm sorry for the confusing header

    Challenger: Colourful
    Type: Ice
    Games: FireRed


    Now funny thing is, I've thought of doing this just 2 days ago and am already done with my run, so this will be my first and also final update :P
    Here's a brief summary of my playthrough:

    Note that for this run I used a modified version of FireRed into which I implemented a guy in Pallet Town who gives me a LVL 5 Shellder right at the start, so that I can actually do this Ice-run =)

    Spoiler:


    I have to say this run was extremely fun and I really learned to love Ice-Type Pokemon! I had never used any of the Pokemon I used in this run before, but especially Cloyster was really awesome! :D

    I'd be very thankful, if you could add me to the list of people who have finished the normal monotype-challenge in Kanto! :D

    Retry

    to those concerned, my laptop crashed a little while back, and hard. Nothing was recovered. This means I lost my progress on my Pokemon emerald psychic run, so I will have to start over. I am determined to be the first psychic type champion that include unova! and if not,then just a pyshic type champ. also, my entries will be a little less detailed.

    EDIT: In case you're wondering why a computer crash would make me lose my progress on an Gameboy Advance game, it's because was using an emulator and I lost the save file it saved too.just wanted to clarify.)

    Dark-Monotype FireRed

    Hi guys, it's me again, I've had so much fun with my last Monotype-Run, that I immediately started another one. This time I did a Dark-Type Monotype Challenge in FireRed.
    I'm done with it now, and would just like to give my at the same time first and final update about this run.

    So for the record:

    Challenger: Colourful
    Type: Dark
    Game: FireRed

    Here's how the run went, notice, that since it was a Dark-Type run in Kanto, I had to hack my pokemon in. I therefore followed the rules myrrhman set up in the second post of this thread.

    Spoiler:


    I've gotta say this run again was really fun, though frustrating in the beginning because I took Seedot as my starter :P

    Hey guys, I'm starting a monotype run in Soul Silver.

    Challenger: Lincoln West
    Type: Bug
    Game: Soul Silver

    I'm going to take Chikorita as my starter, so that my rival has a fire type just to make the run more challenging. I'll keep you posted.

    Update: Went through the intro, grabbed Chikorita and legged it all the way to Mr. Pokemon's house, getting the running shoes on the way. Got the egg and the pokedex, then started sprinting home. Battled and defeated my rival then got back to Prof. Elm. After finally getting some pokeball I caught a Weedle and Ledyba to give me a strong foundation for my team. Now I just need to grind out some serious training.

    Grinded out some levels then conquered Sprout Tower in Violet City. A bit more training and I was able to beat Falkner on the second attempt. Current team - Beedrill Level 15 and Ledyba Level 15. Stay tuned!

    Sry about no updates!!! :(

    Hey guys, it's me. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, school has kept me quite busy. Anyway, there's something I need help with. Cynthia's Togekiss is beating me down every time! I need help with this. Please leave me some suggestions in the reply. Anyway, my team is mostly in the mid-40s with Po the Machamp at level 50 and Tarzan my Infernape at level 61 (or somthin' like that).

    @Zerkon - May I suggest using a Staryu? He evolves into Starmie who is Psychic.

    Bye now!

    Update on my Soul Silver Bug run.

    After beating Falkner I made my way South to Azalea Town LIKE A BOSS. Popped into the nearby forest and caught a Paras (whoo hoo!) bringing my team to a tidy three. Currently training the Paras a bit before I chase Team Rocket out of the Slowpoke Well.
