The Ultimate Monotype Challenge

[DJYosh]

This is my first update! I'm going to update at least once every time I defeat a gym, though if something interesting enough happens beforehand I'll update then.

-I chose Torchick as my starter, naming him 'Linkin'. I went through the beginning of the game, defeating my rival the very first time, and collecting the Pokeballs.

-I met my father, who runs the normal type Gym, and helped Wally capture his first pokemon. (A ralts, which could be a problem later for my team.) After finishing that, I immediately headed for Petalburg woods. I avoided any trainers I could with the intention of trading my first capture, which would be a Shroomish, on them.

-Luckily for me, the first thing I find in Petalburg woods is exactly what I was looking for. I captured a female Shroomish, named her 'Topper', and began raising her levels on the bushes just outside the entrance of Petalburg until she was Linkin's level.

-When Topper was on par with Linkin, I then went through the Petalburg woods. Linkin made quick work of the bug trainers there. I ran into a red-cloaked man who was heckling an employee of Devon Corp.

-The grunt sent out his Poochyena while I sent out Topper. Topper had little trouble taking him down, attacking with Leech Seed and Absorb to keep herself healthy while the Poochyena slowly fainted. The grunt ran off, and out of Gratitude the Devon employee gave me a great ball.

-I exited the woods and fought the trainers waiting outside. Linkin and Topper had little trouble taking them on. However, twin girls were the last challenge I had to face before reaching the next city.

-The girls challenged me to a double battle. They sent out a Seedot and Lotad while I sent out Linkin and Topper. I was afraid of Lotad going for Watergun on Linkin, so I focused him down with both of my pokemon first. However, the Lotad chose to use Absorb on Linkin instead. He fainted after two turns of being focused down. The Seedot didn't take long to down after taking an ember.

-I decided to take on Roxanne with my pokemon each at level 12. Topper had little trouble against the Geodude the Gym trainers had with his absorb attack. Linkin even gets in some work aswell, using ember to take down the Geodudes who didn't know rock throw and only knew tackle. I was pleased with how much damage Ember was doing.

-Before taking on Roxanne I decided I would need to evolve my Torchic into Combusken. I was fearing the Nosepass, so I went to the next route and trained Linkin some more, mostly preying on Nincada. After he became a Combusken and leveled up Topper to Level 14, I decided it was time to take Roxanne on.

-I recorded the battle and did a little bit of commentary here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H76vrr_EQiM
Keep in mind I'm aware of the mistakes I made in my commentary; you can laugh at my dumbness, but I'm already aware of the mistakes and will make sure not to mess up so badly in future gym battles.

Here are my Pokemon's stats after the Gym battle took place;

Pokemon; Combusken
Type; Fire/Fighting
Name; Linkin
Gender; Male
Level; 16
Nature; Timid
Moves; Ember, Peck, Double Kick, Focus Energy

Pokemon; Shroomish

Update 3#

Before I started this update I evolved my draga into a gyarados and train armor to level 20 thus both learned bite

so i enter mt.moon and battle all the trainers in there and picked up all the items so it wasn't a big deal

I get to route 5 and made armor learn mega punch instead of whitdraw which will be very helpful

i get to cerulean gym which was very hard to knock down since it was a water type gym

The battle with misty was annoying but i defeat her in the end staryu dies to a mega punch from armor and starmie falls to a crit bite from draga so yeah

by defeating misty i get tm03 water pulse and immaditly teach that to draga since draga's only water attack was hydro pump at level 40

then i defeat the nugget bridge and route 25 thus training both draga and armor to level 25 and draga learnes dragon rage instead of splash

then i did the bill event and he gave me an s.s.ticket to board the s.s.anne

in the next update i will take the road to varmillion city

team

I thought I had read that somewhere but I couldn't find it again.
But then that is where I hit my problem. As I am interested in doing a rather specific mono-type run but the Pokemon I need isn't available in Platinum, yet it's available in Diamond/Pearl.

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?

That's what I did, and Skuntank is also only in Diamond too, so it worked out. I also used Spiritomb (hacked it in when I got to Solaceon Town where the Hallowed Tower is) and Weavile. Unfortunately no Houndoom, Umbreon, or Absol, they are all in Platinum.

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?

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

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=i6gEE...layer_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:
