[Time Psyduck]

Me again.

I've got through Leafgreen to the point of setting up to trade with Hoenn, and so the monotype will end (my brother's going to want his other pokemon back, so everything apart from Venusaur and maybe Haunter will be replaced by Pokemon from his previous save files.

Final team:


Female, Level 54
Razor Leas/Tackle/Leech Seed/Synthesis


Male, Level 53
Shadow Punch/Confuse Ray/Shadow Ball/Thunderbolt


Male Female, Level 53
Shadow Ball/Earthquake/Flamethrower/Strength


Male, Level 53
Wing Attack/Bite/Poison Fang/Confuse Ray


Female, Level 53
Psybeam/Gust/Silver Wind/Psychic


Female, Level 53
Waterfall/Acid/Surf/Ice Beam

Nothing much happening in Emerald, I've been working on the Pokedex and looking around the battle frontier

 

[Flarginsnarf]

Congrats to Flarginsnarf.
Kick-butt run.

Thanks ! But it's not over yet, I still have that whole Mewtwo and "second wave of the elite four" thing to get ready for :sweatdrop:.... Fun, fun, fun!

 

[Scizor King]

I'll start a Ground mono in my Ruby soon.
Planned team:

I figure it'll be more convenient to use three, since they're coincidentally the best three Ground types in the game. Though, can I trade in a Nidoran from my Leafgreen? I personally love Nidoking. Even if he doesn't get Megahorn in RSE. Though I suppose I could trade back at Lv. 41(?) and use the move tutor.
EDIT: Since this probably won't be answered soon, and I want to start soon, I'll just say "screw it" and do the damn trade.

 

[eevee_em]

I'm starting a steel type run in Pearl(accually I started on Sunday but kept forgetting to post). My planned team is Empoleon, Wormadam(Steel forme), Steelix, Lucario, Bronzong, and Bidoof as a HM slave.

 

[Scizor King]

Made lots of progress since my initial post. I've scrapped Flygon, so my team is as follows:

Lv. 53
Surf, Earthquake, Ice Beam, Return


Lv. 53
Sludge Bomb, Dig, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam


Lv. 53
Earthquake, Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt


Lv. 50
Fire Blast, Earthquake, Solarbeam, Brick Break

Just got through Victory Road, and I feel comfortably high-leveled and will take on the Elite Four later.

 

[Darksong]

I think I'll start a Rock monotype on Crystal. However, it doesn't save right; thus I have to leave it on and my play time will count for real hours.

Started: Thursday, July 16th, 2009, sometime in the afternoon

Planned team:
Tyranitar
Graveler (I can't trade since I don't have the right cable)
Onix
Rhydon
Corsola
Sudowoodo

... I'm so going to be defeated by the Fighting gym x(

[Ramsie]

Remember that Flying mono I was doing? No? The Grass mono? Not at all?

On my Emerald Grass mono I'm in exactly the same place and will never touch the game again unless it's to start a new file.

My FireRed Flying mono is going okay. I don't really have a set team yet because I don't usually plan that far in advance. I beat Brock with little problem due to Charms' Metal Claw and Free's Confusion. Now I'm in Cerulean City, leveling Echo and Gyara, trying to decide whether to take Nugget Bridge and my rival first or whether to get Misty over and done with. I'm probably going to evolve almost everyone first, except Free and Charms.

Team:
Gyara Lv.16
Echo Lv.16
Annie Lv.17
Tini Lv.17
Charms Lv.17
Free Lv.17

 

[Minnow]

Update on my WATER mono in Ruby:

Trainer Card

Name: Sephy (♀)
Badges: 2
Money: 13744
Pokédex: 5
Play Time: 4:50 (It's a bit high because I left it running while I was watching a movie...)

Team

**
Zuzu(♂) Level: 21
Attacks:
Mud Shot | Rock Tomb | Water Gun | Bide

*
Gyara(♂) Level: 10 (Lots of training needed!)
Attacks:
Splash

**
Doku(♀) Level: 9 (Needs a TON of training)
Attacks:
Cut | Poison Sting | Supersonic
​

Beet Brawly in a snap (Usually have a bit of trouble with him...), just training in Granite Cave for a while before heading on out to Slateport. Just so you know the little asterisks by the Pokémon's sprite indicate type, no real reason for having that it's just for the hell of it.

 

[Renteura]

Once I find my copy of Emerald, I'm going to start doing either a Fighting or Grass mono. Obviously, I have no idea what my team is going to be.

 

[RunsWithScizor]

This looks cool. I think I might try a Normal-type run on Fire Red.

 

[Blaziking the God General]

I think I'm going to do a normal type mono on Gold. Since I use an emulator for it, I tend to just fast-forward through everything, so I should be to Red in about 2-3 days.

Planned team:
Furret
Pidgeot
Girafarig
Miltank / Tauros / Stantler
Ursaring

 

[Loco Mocho]

Might do a flying type mono but n ot sure for what version

 

[RunsWithScizor]

Finally got around to starting, but I have a bit of a twist on my mono-type run.

Unevolved Poison Mono-type File
Cartridge: Fire Red
Trainer: Io
Badges: 1
Pokédex: 5
Time: 3 hrs, 16 mins


Ekaterina -- Lv15
Wrap ~ Leer ~ Bite ~ Poison Sting


Zelda -- Lv16
Bite ~ Leech Life ~ Astonish ~ Supersonic


Nero -- Lv16
Peck ~ Leer ~ Focus Energy ~ Double Kick


Doreen -- Lv16
Scratch ~ Growl ~ Tail Whip ~ Double Kick


Bubba -- Lv20
Tackle ~ Sleep Powder ~ Leech Seed ~ Razor Leaf​

I'm at least going to try to keep them unevolved for as long as I can.​
