    5th Gen PRNG Help / Info - Latest: RNG Reporter 9.96.5, PPRNG 1.15.0

    I've just hit this same issue trying to get back into RNGing - RNG Reporter 9.96.5 doesn't work on mono (at least not for me). Does anyone know what the last version that supported mono, and by implication Linux, was?

    Pokémon Trading Card Game (GBC)

    I loved this game. My own favourite deck was an energy removal one. Poliwrath, Golduck, and Dragonair, and load up on the Energy Removal and Super Energy Removal. Not the most reliable to be honest, but when it works it works very well. I also tried the just Legendary Zapdos deck, it's cheap and...

    Challenge Monotype Challenge!

    That depends entirely on what Pokemon you have in the egg. I mean sure, if you go start your mono-Ground by trading in a Gible egg with a whole bunch of great moves you're set for a cakewalk. Send something sensible and you won't be.

    Challenge Monotype Challenge!

    Trading in eggs (or Pokemon in RBY) is the preferred option. Possibly more than one, depending on how long it is until you can catch an example naturally.

    Challenge Monotype Challenge!

    A fun one that's now practical is a pan-generational mono-type. One Pokemon from each of the five generations, and all the same type. (And one space left over of course). I did it for ghost on Black, using Gengar, Misdreavus (not allowed to evolve it because Mismagius is 4th gen), Shedinja...

    Let's Play! Normal Type Only Run - HGSS

    I did mono-Ghost in Red. Had one traded Gastly to work with up until Lavender town, which meant it spent most of the time being disobedient. Fun times. Finished up with two Gastly, two Haunter, and two Gengar, and avoided duplicate movesets as far as practical.

    Let's Play! Normal Type Only Run - HGSS

    Fire, water, and grass obviously :-P Otherwise it depends how early you want to get your first proper member. I don't think there's any game you can't do normal or flying from as soon as you can catch Pokemon, and bug is highly accessible too. If you allow using Pokemon that will evolve into...

    The poll allows multiple choices and a certain TM13IceBeam voted for all four options.

    Let's Play! Normal Type Only Run - HGSS

    Genuine question: do we not have a general mono-type challenge thread? As for mono-Normal, to be honest I don't see it as being much worse than any other type. There are more than enough Normal/Flying's to cover for fighting types. Ghosts are easily dealt with by the very common Bite/Crunch...

    HGSS ingame movesets

    Typhlosion Item: Choice Specs Ability: Blaze - Eruption - Focus Blast - Swift - Flamethrower This wrecks stuff, plain and simple. Eruption is your main move and at full HP massively destructive, and with Typhlosion's speed you'll be sweeping stuff and thus staying at full HP. Focus Blast is...

    Sticky Have a question? Ask it here! (NOT SM QUESTIONS)

    Typically if you can catch them before the Elite Four in the game you're scrambling you do so. Otherwise you might trade in eggs. Though I suppose if you can't trade and want a wider pool of Pokemon you could hack.

    Challenge The Gauntlet Challenge

    No shopping, anywhere :-P. Though I think the only non Poke Mart places to shop are the house in Celestic Town, and the Game Corner for game coins.

    The xkcd Challenge

    Update time: After I'd beaten Pryce I went to Goldenrod to kick some Rocket butt. No major issues there, but once I'd done it almost the entire team I'd beaten Pryce with had evolved, so it was time to put together a new team with Clair in mind. Then I needed a Blizzard TM, and even with...

    Challenge The Gauntlet Challenge

    If that's your preference, though I expected making more use of the Apricorn Balls to add interest.

    Most frustrating pokemon moments!

    You should have attacked Lucario. Though that only helps if you've the power to OHKO it.

    BobbyVaporeon, you may only catch Pokemon in Apricorn Balls or Premier Balls.
