[Alakazam17]

Hey!I have had second thoughts about Water type in Kanto.Can i please change to Psychic type in Sinnoh?

Well, you have to start with the first generation games, and you must use the same type for every generation. So no, sorries.

And I am currently updating the first post again. Welcome, newcomers! And good luck to Pekin, as it seems you're awfully close to completing this challenge. :D

 

[raekuul]

I was about to start the battle with DANE when...

I press F1 (load state)

Now, I'm back in Surge's Gym, ready to open the doors. Great.

 

[Lost_1]

Hm. This looks interesting. I think I'll join. I'll take Poison and start with FR/LG, since I don't have R/B and emulation is out of the question for me.

 

[raekuul]

Poison in FRLG? I'd recommend sequence breaking for the Super Rod so that you can get a Grimer/Muk in Celadon.

Then again, what do I know? I'm doing water, and I can't even keep my fingers in the right spots for saving...

stupid tiny laptop keyboard...

 

[Darkloud]

This looks fun. I'll go with Water type Pokemon in Blue.

Sorry for not updating at all. I haven't had time to. I also had to revert to using my actual Diamond game because I wasn't at home a lot. I hardly had any time to do anything at home anyways.

I made it through Victory Road and challenged the Elite 4 but failed epically. (I decided to only use Infernape through the whole game.) Momo's low defense made the Elite 4 so damn hard...but he was able to wipe out most of the Pokemon in one hit. Currently I am training at Victory Road.

Current Team:

Momo, Infernape, Lv.72
>Flamethrower
>Brick Break
>Thunder Punch
>Earthquake

You have no idea how effective that moveset is for a Fire Pokemon. I literally used about the same moves for Typhlosion, Blaziken, and now Infernape.

Anyways, I'm getting ready to own the Elite 4.

 

[Echoing Song]

Update: got to Roark... and actually failed to beat him with a level 17 Turtwig...

So I grinded up to level 25... and beat him easily...

Grotle level 25
Razor Leaf
Bite
Curse
Mega Drain

Also... I'm going to assume that trading over to other games to teach moves is okay since I don't see anything about that in the rules... though I will remove any TMs or move tutor moves if that is in fact not allowed

Another update: Beat Gardenia
Party:
Torterra level 32
Razor Leaf
Earthquake
Bite
Leech Seed

HM slave Bidoof
Cut
Rock Smash

 

[zZRaoto]

I spent a whole day training and finally decided to take on the Elite 4. It was so easy. I went through it with almost 1 hit on every single Pokemon. Aaron was pretty much destroyed. Bertha was quite a challenge with her ground type Pokemon. I had to use about 3 full restores. Flint was owned easily. Lucian was also a bit of a challenge but most of her Pokemon had low defense so Momo's Flamethrower took them out quite quickly. Cynthia was probably the 2nd easiest out of all of them.

Final Team:

Momo, Infernape, Lv.92
>Flamethrower
>Brick Break
>Thunder Punch
>Earthquake

I have beaten the Ultimate Monotype Challenge using the Type: Fire. Yay!

 

[pokecrystal451]

So I started this challenge earlier this year but stopped midway because I couldn't find the time to play it. Now that I have time, can I get back in? I lost the file I was playing before so I thought I'd just start over but switch to the flying type, if that's ok

 

[chaos11011]

Im dropping out of the challenge Rock PKMN are tedious in this region sorry D:

 

[Echoing Song]

So yeah like I said before... I'll remove the moves that wouldn't be there without trading and teaching if I can't in fact use them...

[Pekin]

Goddammit, Raoto, you beat me. I've been way too busy these days, I haven't had the time to play. Anyway, congratulations, guess I'm gonna have to accept a second place, haha.
