If you are playing Diamond, Murkrow is in Eterna Forest (not in Pearl, btw). Pearl and Platinum don't have anyone early enough, so you can hack/trade in someone. Btw, in Platinum, your first available pokemon is Eevee, who evolves into Umbreon, and he's a gift in Hearthome City.

It depends on what game you play.

Murkrow is what I want and I know it's not available in Platinum.
For the sake of this mono-type run, if I want to use Murkrow I need to play Diamond?

Update 4#
So i finally leave cerulean city and battled a team rocket grunt and by defeating him he gave me tm28 dig and i taught that to armor mainly because the next gym is an electric gym
I get to route 5 to acsses the underground path cuz apearrantly i can't go to saffron city because an officer is blocking the road

I Battled all the trainers on route 6 while training my armor cuz draga won't be able to get to the gym since he 4x weak to electric moves

and finally i get to varmillion city i get the bike voucher from a guy and i backtraked to cerulean city to get a bicycle finally

I get to the s.s.anne and battled all the trainers and get all the items including tm31 brick break and i teach that to armor instead of rapid spin then i battled my rival gary
and emparassed him

I Get HM Cut From The Captin and I Taught that to rattata so he will be my cut slave

In the next update I will defeat the varmillion gym

team

Is the main post going to be updated anytime soon? The whole point of making a new Ultimate Monotype Challenge thread was because the main post hadn't been updated for so long wasn't it?

Done a lot on ruby without updating
Started with Treecko cuz cut/flash
Beat may and caught ralts Grinded to LV 6 to get confusion then up to LV 9
had to use Treecko i BOTH fights with the magma grunt (stupid Dark type)
Roxanne was tough but using an oran berry an X special and 3 super potions i beat her at level 15 with ralts.
Brawly was cake for Ralts it was close (like 2 HP) but he stupidly used bulk up and i 2 shotted Makuhita. got Abra and grinded to LV 11 off wild pokes in graanite cave. got letter to steven and beat the trainers south of slateport.

CURRENT TEAM
Ho LV 19 Ralts (f)
Moostache LV 15 Abra (M)

Roserade- Level 41 [Moves- Grass Knot, Ingrain, Petal Dance, Toxic]
Cherrim- Level 39 [Moves- Take Down, Sunny Day, Petal Dance, Magical Leaf]

Update 5#

So I battled the varmillion gym and armor's dig worked wonders and then I battled surge to tell you the truth surge was annoying as hell cuz of his pokemon likes to spam double team but in the end armor defeat this double team spammer

by defeating surge i get tm34 shock wave

Before I head to the rock tunnel I caught myself 10 pokemon to get the flash hm and i caught a bellsprout to make use of this hm

i head to the rock tunnel and battled all the trainers there but the rock tunnel is so long while training my draga cuz he was underleveled

I finnaly head out of the freaking rock tunnel and then head to lavender town but quickly take the way to celadon city cuz there was nothing to do

i battled all the trainers on route 8 and then head to another underground path that connects routes 7 and 8

I arrived at celadon city but i came from the back to get my third team member aquaman the eevee and yes i will be using vaporeon

i get to the department store to get 2 water stones for my eevee and another pokemon

I evolved aquaman to vaporeon and now begin to train him like the rest

in the next part i will continue exploring celadon city

team

Update number two! This playthrough is really picking up pace after this point. I'm having a surprising amount of fun!

-After defeating Roxanne I leave the Gym and once again meet the Devon Corp. employee. He tells me a package has been stolen from him, and asks for me to get it back.

-I decided to help him, and followed the team Magma member down another route. I fight the trainers in my way, and meet another man outside of a cave. He tells me an odd hooded man stole his Wingull and ran into the cave. It matched the description of the man I was pursuing, so I went in.

-I battled the grunt, who also had the stolen wingull. Since Topper needed the experience she had a rematch against the grunt's Poochyena, and she defeats him rather easily. The man gives me back the package and the wingull before fleeing the cave.

-The old man was very thankful when we returned his Wingull. He offered to let us use his boat when we need to, and went back home.

-I also return the package back to the Devon Corp. employee. He was thankful; he gave me another Great ball and took me in to meet their president. The President asks that I deliver the package, saying it would be safer in my care.

-I meet the old man with the wingull, and he sails me to Dewford town for the next Gym battle. When I get there, I enter the cave and catch my next team member, a Makuhita.

-I meet a man (I forget his name) deep in the cave. I deliver the package to him, and out of gratitude he gives me a TM for Steel Wing. It's completely useless to me considering the type I've chosen, but it's nice of him.

-I raise Poe up a few levels in the cave before taking on the gym leader.

-The battle can be seen here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6gEEzxId04&feature=player_embedded
I'm thinking of making a mini-series out of this. Suggestions are welcome.

-I get the Knuckle Badge and the TM Bulk Up. I'm seriously considering giving Poe this new TM, especially because of his relaxed nature. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

So are we allowed to use cheat codes if were using a rom to get a Pokemon of our type in early. Because I can't get my hands on a Dratini and that's not until the fifth gym at the earliest for Leaf Green.

And also after I've moved onto Soul Silver I'm planning to do this:

1 ice beam tm i give to aquaman instead of aurora beam

then I battled celedon city's gym and it was a joke thanks to aquaman's ice beam

I battled erika and aquaman did a great job thanks to ice beam

i get to team rocket's base and battled giovanny there onix falls to a water pulse from draga aquaman defeats rhyhorn with a water gun and armor defeats kangaskhan with 2 brick breaks and he gets to lv.36 and armor evolved to blastoise
and i get the silph scope to see ghosts

In the next update i will go to the pokemon tower and defeat these ghosts
