Sorry dude. I'm gonna have to call foul on this one. I realize you had 2 Fire Pokemon on your team, but you really only used one. You can't just plug a low level Pokemon of your type into your team and call it good, cause that means you still only used one Pokemon of your type. I will update the rules to be more clear on that, but I can't count this run as complete, sorry. :(

I just reviewed your Johto run as well, and you did the same thing there. Using only your starter is not a Monotype, it's a Solo run. I'm sorry, but I can't count either of those.

Sorry, you can trade in the Nuzleaf because it's in Ruby, but you can't trade in an Umbreon. It's not part of the Hoenn Dex.

@NecrumWarrior

What happens if there is only one of the Pokemon's type in the game. Does that mean we have to get a second of that Pokemon? a.k.a, Hack in Dratini early on for Kanto Dragon Mono, since it's impossible to get it before the third gym but be forced to get a second one later on? If so, that blows. Nice Userbar things by the way, they're better than the previous ones.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, decided to do a Bug Ultimate Challenge. It'll be a nice change since I don't use them normally.

Game(s): LeafGreen, HeartGold, Sapphire, Platinum, Black, (?B2/W2?)

I want to do B2/W2 for each type as well, Since I think even though they are apart of Gen V, they have a lot different Pokemon choice. I feel like it's almost necessary for me, since I see it as a sequel to B/W, instead of how I see Platinum as a slightly altered D/P or Emerald as a slightly altered R/S.

The only problem being that I can't get a ROM of it that doesn't screw up on my R4i. So I'm waiting until someone makes one that works.

Yes it sucks, but this is not a Solo run. When I do the monotypes for types with only one family, I plan to use one NFE. ie Dragonite & Dragonair, Haunter & Gengar.

As for 5th gen, yeah, they are sequals, but it's more about the fact that you are playing the same region rather than about the story. Hell, you even fight the same Elite Four. But that's entirely up to you. I think that's a really cool idea.

HaiImNate · Jan 15, 2013

Okay, I guess I'll just start over again.

Are you allowed to use HM Slaves in battle as well?

Electric Monotype
-FINALLY defeated Giovanni. My entire team was level 61 by the time I managed to beat him. Earthquake kept on OHKOing me up til I was level 50-something. Ugh.
-Defeated the Elite 4. Took me 2 tries to beat Gary because he was using Sandslash and my non-electric moves are mostly subpar.
