The Pokemon gym Leader Challenge 2.0

The Pokémon Gym Leader Challenge!
​

What is this?
Objective: To complete the game with only one type pf pokemon
All this talk of pokemon lately has inspired me to create this;
A Challenge to prove your Skill as a Pokémon trainer!
As we all know, Gym Trainers are known for using pokemon with a certain type. Well now it's your turn!
A member may choose a type they wish to pursue and use only those types of Pokemon in battle.
Since starters are only Fire, Grass, or Water, some rules can apply.
Note that this is for fun and feel free to take pictures if you can.
​

--Krowley has given me full permission to take control of this.--
​

Rules v1.6
YOUR STARTING FROM SCRATCH. So please don't sign up if you have a problem starting a new game file.
(11 Rules, updated if necessary)

Spoiler

1) You are allowed to use whatever Pokemon starter to use until the point where you can catch a Pokemon of your type. From there on, you are to use only that Pokemon type.
Only 1 member can choose each type. First come, First Serve!
Dual-types are allowed, but one of their types must correspond to the type you have selected!
For Example; If a Member chose Water type, Cloyster (Being of both Ice and Water) would be a permitted candidate.
You may reserve a type if you cannot start right away. Reservations last 10 days. (7 if some one else requests it)

2) Edited Rule! You are permitted 4 HM Slaves (1 for Water moves, 1 for Terrain moves, 1 for Misc. moves, and 1 for fly) to make the game easier. (An HM Slave is a pokemon you only use to teach HMs to) Your HM Slave does not have to correspond to your chosen type.
THESE MAY ONLY BE USED OUTSIDE BATTLE. IF THEY ARE UN-NEEDED TO CLEAR AN OBSTACLE, STORE THEM IN YOUR PC!
You may only use HM slaves in battle if you have under 2 of your pokemon types in your Roster.

3) Emulators are permitted, but No Cheats! Play fair. Also play at normal speed.

4) You are allowed to have a Pokemon that will evolve into your type.
Example; If you have chosen the Fighting type, and caught a Poliwag, you can keep it so long as you intend to level it to the corresponding type; Poliwrath (who is both Water and Fighting)

5) You may play any pokemon Game (From Blue/Red to Black/White) Try to choose a game that holds a surplus of the type you choose.
Example, choosing the Dark Type and playing Pokemon Blue, would be unwise since there are no Dark types in that game.

6) Legendaries are not permitted outside of the trio legends
Banned List: Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Groudon, Kyougre, Rayquaza, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Dialga, Palkia, Regigigas, Giratina, Dakrai, Arceus, Phione, Manaphy, Shaymin, Victini, Rehiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Genesect, Meleotta.

7) Edited Rule! Trading is only permitted to Evolve a Pokemon.

8) You are permitted 1 Helper until you have more than 2 pokemon of your type in your Roster.

9) If you find your game doesn't hold a good amount of your pokemon type, you are more than welcome to change your game version so long as you haven't progressed too far into the game. (Before your 3rd Gym Badge)

10) You may only have 1 duplicate of 1 pokemon in your roster.
If the version you play has more than 6 pokemon of your type, duplicates are not permitted

11) You may decide to quit the game you are doing and give up the type you currently hold if you feel you do not want to finish. However, if you do this you must wait 3 days till you may play using another type.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while.

My next update will be tomorrow as I don't have my DS atm and I can't remember where I was in game

 

This sounds like fun! :D Question though. Say I were to play through as a normal type gym leader would dual types count? For example Pidgey - Normal/Flying

 

Yes, you may use dual-types.

 

D: I'm sorry I completely missed that 3: Would it be okay for me to join in? I just read the rules another time to be sure I didn't miss anything else :3

Name: Travis
Self Proclaimed Title: (Something you call yourself)
Username: Agent.T
Type Chosen: Normal
Sprite Picture: ​

Starter: ​

HM Slave: ​

Game Cartridge: Pokemon Leaf Green
Roster: Bulbasaur
Location: Pallet Town​

 

Updated, but I need to know what your Self-proclaimed title going to be?

 

:D Thank you so much ^_^

"The Happy Camper!"
Does that sound okay? :3

 

It sounds fine.

 

Update~ ^_^

Roster:
Location: Pewter City

And I just beat Pewter gym and got the boulder badge ^_^

 

I have returned from my journeys of wanting to become a pokemon breeder and said **** that crap. So I'm now back on the path of becoming the greatest bug gym leader ever. After spending a few hours today trying to find where I left off at and I'm suppose to be doing, I have finally arrived in Celestic town. I captured a staravia for defog and fly. I exchanged my bidoof (hm slave) and replaced him with hm whore(bibarel). My Cin, Nagaru, Mifune, and Rei have advanced in level some.

 

Could you post what your team is what the HM slaves you have? I'm going off of what you last told Krowley, so I have no idea what all of that means. I just need the names of them. From what I've got, you have a Bibarel and Staravia as HM Slaves, but I have no idea what you're main team is

 

Yeah, Dustox lvl 27, Beautifly lvl40, Wormadon lvl27, Kricktune lvl 25 and torterra rolls with me.

 

Don't want to be a party pooper after I just got this from Krowley, but if you're doing a bug run and you have at least 2 of them, you can't use any other pokemon that's not that type. Well, I guess saying "can't" might be wrong, but it's just not entirely fair, especially for those who do fight with just their type. You should put Torterra in your PC and stop using it. Krowley also put it in the rules

I don't want to sound like the bad guy, but I also want to keep it fair for everyone

 

Alrighty, no problem.

 

Hey, some updates. Sorry its been awhile, school and such lol.

I beat the first Gym :D


Got my first HM

Pansage is my HM slave :)

Teipig is level 13 :)


And thats about it. Working towards next gym. Like the screen shots? See more here! <-- Photobucket

Oh, and I never really chose a sprite. Will this do? :)

sorry I didn't post for a long time I'm been doing school work and stuff... anyway I finally gotten my final badge now ready to beat the elite champ. roster: aggron; nosepass; magcargo; solrock; armaldo; corsola. hm salves: nincada; makuhita; marshtomp; doduo. badges: stone; knuckle; dynamo; heat; balance; feather; mind; rain. location: sootopolis city

 

UPDATE:

After some grinding on my pokemon, I challenged and beat the gym that gives me the relic badge. Can't remember the name, and I'm away fro my ds right now. After that I spent most of the day slathering trees in honey, looking for bugs. And the first tree that starts shaking, has me female combee, which I did catch and evolve into Vesqueen. After putting more honey on more trees, I found my male burmy and caught it. Now training for next gym, it's going to be really really really really hard.

Roster: Beautifly, Dustox,Vesqueen,Burmy, Kricktune,Wormadon

 

Hey, some updates :D

Another gym down and done :D


My Tepig evolved into a pignite :D


I got the Dragon Skull back from team Plasma, Pignite is currently level 21, and I am currently leveling up my team in Pinwheel Forest :D
