Mine was Ready, Willing, and Sableye, a filler episode from early Hoenn that I watched when I was six years old, I think. I remember being really confused as to who Team Rocket were because I wasn't familiar with them (I had only played Sapphire at the time), and had also never seen a Meowth...

Usually, I save up enough to evolve a Pokemon earlier than I otherwise would, or get key level-up moves quicker. For the Rare Candies I find after that, I save them for after Victory Road, and try to equalize my team's levels if possible. A couple exceptions: If I'm using a very defensive...

It's fine to assume that anything that's posted on Pokecommunity itself is eligible, including Radical Red, Unbound, MegaMoemon FireRed, and Inflamed Red. Games and hacks that break our own rules get removed by the fangame/romhacking subforum mods as soon as they're caught. Offsite...

Challenges is also missing its flairs, now. Would you mind fixing them too?

Honestly, if you've already gotten through Granite Cave to catch Oddish, you don't really need to fight Brawly at all until later. His fight is certainly doable at your level, and I've beaten his stronger Emerald team with weaker Pokemon, but he's still very RNG dependent because both his...

My least favorite move in the series is, easily, Focus Blast. Mostly out of annoyance that this 70 Accuracy 5 PP move is usually the only Special Fighting move available via TM, while the much better Aura Sphere wasn't a TM move until Gen 8 and still doesn't have nearly as many Pokemon that can...

Well, I have a thread here for you to use for discussion if you want to. If it turns out to not be used much, I can just merge it back here.

As requested, if you want a place to discuss and chat about your monotype challenges without cluttering up the thread, this is the place to do so. Please keep rule questions, challenge applications, hall of fame posts, and full updates on your runs to the main challenge thread, so that I can...

I'd personally rather keep things on the forum, though it doesn't need to be on this thread specifically. If you're interested, I can create a separate thread for discussion of Monotype Challenge stuff that you don't want to post in here, and it'd be completely fine to put "insane levels of...

One ability that I strongly dislike isn't listed so far: Color Change. It changes your Pokemon's type whenever it gets hit by a move. In essence, it removes your own control over the Pokemon's type and gives it to your opponent. You'll never have a reliable STAB because you won't even know what...

Either playing the video games or talking about them here, mostly. I've never actually played the TCG because I don't know anyone else who plays it (though I do have some cards, mostly from the late Hoenn and early Sinnoh eras) and I'm not a big TV watcher or manga reader.

I can see them, yes.

Pokemon Platinum QOL (Standard Mode) Mono-Steel - PI Justin Update 1 (Twinleaf Town -> Oreburgh Gym) As you can see from JanP's recent announcement, I've been busy learning how to be a moderator, but I still had time to play some Pokemon today. I got a Piplup from Professor Rowan, trained her...

In general, the right place to post playthrough threads is in the Travel Journals section, not in your game's section. I've notified this forum's mod to let her know to move it over there for you, so you don't need to recreate it there. However, since you're doing a monotype challenge, you can...
