D/P/Pt Monotype Challenge
 
Hey guys, since every other game had a monotype challenge and D/P/Pt didn't have one, so I decided to create one :D

Rules:
1) You need to defeat the Elite 4 to complete this challenge
2) HM Slaves are allowed
3) Starter is allowed if it falls underneath your type. If it doesn't, you may play with it until you get the first pokemon of your type
4) Secondary types are allowed (say you're using the Flying type, and you want to use Drifloon, you can use it)
5) Please update actively
6) This is not a race. Races are for losers.
7) No trading except for evolutionary reasons
8) You must get one pokemon of your type before getting out of Eterna Forest. (if you're using a type where you can't get a pokemon before getting out of Eterna Forest, you may ignore rule 7 and trade a pokemon of that type).
9) No legendaries
10) The desire to have fun :D
11) Emulators are allowed
12) Multiple people may take one type at the same type

I so want to do this, but i cant restart my platinum, as it holds to many teams,
and my pearl is link to my pokemon ranch.
if only i could find my brothers diamond :|

Fire Wolf December 29th, 2009 9:23 AM

But, you can always use Emulators ;)

ConnoRAWR December 29th, 2009 9:23 AM

I know where my R4 is, that has a diamond and pearl on it.
Can i take dragon please?

Fire Wolf December 29th, 2009 9:25 AM

Ok, I'll add you. You'll have to trade an egg or a level 5 pokemon to your game for Dragon :).

ConnoRAWR December 29th, 2009 9:29 AM

Thats fine :)
A dratini it is...

damn it, i forgot there was another save file.
have to start all over again after i delete that file :|

Dratini is sent over now, time to kick some butt!

Edit: Ima have to quit the challenge...
My R4 is being a Bidoof

AuraAshley December 30th, 2009 9:20 PM

count me in ill do the fire type

Callandor December 30th, 2009 9:59 PM

I'd like to try Houndour for Dark, though sence I using Pearl, it looks like I might have to trade from Platinum. Hope thats Ok.

Edit: Question. What if a pokemon evolves into the chosen type, but isn't part of the chosen type without evolution? Would we still be able to catch it? Like Skorupi into Drapion.

Fire Wolf December 31st, 2009 6:34 AM

Yes, you can use Skorupi since it evolves into Drapion, a part-Dark type.

Mattbob December 31st, 2009 7:41 AM

Hey, could i take ground and trade a gible over?

Syked December 31st, 2009 11:22 AM

I would like to do this.

Platinum > Dark

As you don't really find a Dark Pokemon for awhile. I was wondering if someone could trade me a FEMALE (If possible) Absol.

I will then pick up 2 other Darks (Possibly Umbreon and would Houndour count?) if not, I'll find another.

If someone can get me an Absol, that'd be great. If not, I'll switch to Fire.

AuraAshley December 31st, 2009 11:25 AM

since im doing fire, can i use infernape?

Syked December 31st, 2009 11:28 AM

I'm pretty sure you can. I didn't make the challenge, but I wouldn't see why not?

AuraAshley December 31st, 2009 11:31 AM

and if i understand this correctly i can only fight with that one pokemon but i can have others on my team for hm reasons and not for battle?

Syked December 31st, 2009 11:40 AM

That would be a solo-type challenge.

You can have however many FIRE types on your team to BATTLE. Even if it's Fire/Fighting or Fire/- , as long as Fire is the dominate type, you can use them in battle. You're not limited to the number of that type on your team. But no, you cannot use HM slaves in battle unless they are that type.

chaos11011 December 31st, 2009 12:02 PM

Yeah you can use any type with it as long as its a Fire type.Here's an example
Fire/Fighting
Dark/Fire
Fire/Flying

Syked December 31st, 2009 12:03 PM

I need someone to trade Absol to me :(

Callandor December 31st, 2009 12:16 PM

I could do it, but I've never traded with a specific person over wifi. Not sure how to find you.

Syked December 31st, 2009 12:36 PM

I give you my Friend Code. You put in your Pal Pad and then you give me your FC and I put in mine.

Go to wear you trade in PC and then will be able to trade together.

I'll have to start a brand new file though and get a new FC =/

Callandor December 31st, 2009 12:45 PM

Alright, just tell me when you are ready.

I want to do this if people can trade a Poke with me :)

mondays suck January 5th, 2010 12:11 PM

Since I have finished my latest challenge on the DS, i need a new one because I'm a nerd. I will play a Fighting-type challenge on Pearl.

Update: I got pretty far, I'm in Eterna now (but didn't fight Gardenia/Galactic yet). I am not going to tell anything in detail, I forgot most stuff anyways.
But here's my team, with more retarded nicknames than one of my teams ever had before:

ApeOfRape / Monferno m Lv.21 @ /
Rash Nature / Blaze
- Mach Punch
- Flame Wheel
- Ember
- HP Steel
Weak HP Steel is not really ideal, but whatever, this thing has such a huge movepool, so this will not matter
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/4c/Spr_4d_066.png
TradingSux / Machop m Lv.24 @ /
Naive Nature / No Guard
- Low Kick
- Revenge
- Rock Tomb
- Karate Chop
I really have to work on this moveset, it's horrible. Overleveled because I want to evolve it into Machoke soon.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/5/5b/Spr_4d_307_m.png
DtctAbuser / Meditite m Lv.12 @ /
Hardy Nature / Pure Powder
- Bide
- Meditate
- Confusion
- Detect

Just caught and nicknamed this.

Geodude Lv. 7 (rock SMash)
Starly Lv. 4
Bidoof Lv. 13 (Cut)

Harumi Fujyoshi, added.
I'm still at Sandgem Town myself, other challenges are keeping me busy, but expect an update from me tomorrow.

Harumi Fujyoshi January 6th, 2010 9:41 AM

After obtaining my starter (Piplup, so I don't need to catch any pokemon for Surf) I headed out for Sandgem Town and caught a Bidoof along the way named HM slave (I know, original, right?) Raced on to Jubilife city and after catching a Budew named Sprout ditched my starter in the PC. Went to the cave above Jubilife and caught a Zubat named Echo. After training them for a while took on rival and won with ease. Now I'm in Oreburgh City (haven't challenged the Gym yet.

Also, I realize that I'm asking a question that has just been asked. Lulz.

Foxnordic January 9th, 2010 3:30 PM

awww flip, this sounds fun. Can i do a ground challenge on my platinum?

Live in Color January 12th, 2010 11:10 AM

Looks like fun, I think I'll do steel on my Diamond since it seems like no one else is doing steel. I may change my mind though, but so far it's steel, aha.

Hybrid Trainer January 12th, 2010 11:44 AM

What about if i want a shedinja if was going to do ghost one?

Broadway January 12th, 2010 6:03 PM

Actually, scratch electric... I forgot Voltorb and Magnemite BOTH don't show up except in swarms, and I like them way to much to do without, plus I really dislike Pachirisu.

Instead, I'll do psychic. BRONZONG TIEM.

Yes, you can raise a Nincada.
Added you all.

Broadway January 12th, 2010 9:13 PM

Awesome!!

By the way, would it be okay to trade over an HM slave, since it doesn't affect the monotype part of things? I wanted to get an Aerodactyl for that purpose.

Fire Wolf January 12th, 2010 9:21 PM

You can trade over an HM Slave, as far as you don't use it in gym/Elite 4 battles.

Broadway January 13th, 2010 4:40 PM

Alriiiight!! First update.


-Started a fresh Platinum game, chose a male character, named him Chad, and named my rival Ryan.
-Chose Piplup for my starter, named him Bert. HM 'mon #1.
-Traveled up to Jubilife, grabbing a Bidoof along the way.
-Wandered out to Route 203 and ran back and forth hunting for Abra! They were not too scarce. I managed to catch three, hoping for a good nature (I think about eight got away), and out of two males and a female, the female, named Sayd, was best with a neutral nature, and the Synchronize ability.
-Went back to town and hopped into the union room to trade my Bidoof for an Aerodactyl egg, as my other HM 'mon.

Now I gotta level Sayd up so she learns something other than Teleport, and hatch the Aerodactyl. Time to terrorize the local population of Shinx and Kricketot.

Callandor January 15th, 2010 3:04 PM

Broadway January 15th, 2010 3:59 PM

Update, just a little one but I wanted to post because NOW I HAVE AN OFFENSIVE MOVE!!! Finally.

-Spent far, far too long grinding Abra from level 5 (arrrrrgh) to level 16.
-She evolved into Kadabra, and learned Confusion (yessss!)
-Breezed through Roark's Gym, I do believe I one-shotted everything, poor rock-types with no special defense...
-Now moving on northward towards Floarama.

Gonna be a lonely slog for Sayd until I can pick up a Meditite (blargh) and a Chingling...

To my understanding, Trading over Dratini is ok, because you don't get a Dragon untill after Eterna Forest, but aside from that, you can't trade. So Bagon and Trapinch are a no. Oh and sorry if I am over stepping any boundries.

EDIT:
Got to Pastoria,
Caught a Mairll HM slave,
Caught a Hoothoot HM slave,
Waiting for Drapion or Skorupi to appear in Great Marsh

mondays suck January 16th, 2010 2:51 AM

I haven't played last week, but I remember I was shortly before Hearthome, evolved my Machop and teached Meditie Brick Break so it could finally beat something.

xSeduction January 20th, 2010 4:10 PM

Sign me up, I'm going for Water type. (:

My journey so far in a nutshell:
Created my character, named Kayla. (Of course.)
Chose my first starter, Piplup, and named him Edward.
Caught my first HM Slave, a Machop. (Whom I forgot to nickname. -kicks self-)
Caught my second team member, a Psyduck named Giselle.
Beat Roark, after which Edward evolved into a Prinplup.
Defeated Team Galactic at the Wind Works building.

Current Battle Team:
http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w80/aassia/prinplup.pngEdward; Level 20
http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu287/VickyKuttie/Pokemon/Psyduck-1.gif Giselle; Level 17

Alternative January 20th, 2010 7:09 PM

This looks like fun!
I got one question though before I start.
If I got a Pokemon from my previous game and wanted it on my new game (which I will be doing to monotype challenge on), am I allowed to trade it over to my game, so long as I don't use it? I have an Arceus and I don't want to lose it just for a monotype challenge.

I will be participating using the type: Ground

Fire Wolf January 21st, 2010 12:52 AM

You can trade over pokemon if you want, that's fine ;)

Rawr? January 21st, 2010 1:58 AM

I just got pearl rom so i will do this.

I pick fire.

Edit:
I wanna pick water now.

empty streets January 21st, 2010 3:37 AM

One question :3 Sorry if this has been already mentioned here.
Is it obligatory to start a new game?
I know it won't be as fun without starting a new game, but the goal is to beat the Champion, so.. 0_0 I don't want to lose all of my pokemon that I worked hard on.

Dawn Rules January 21st, 2010 3:39 PM

It is compulsary to start a new game, it wouldn't be fun without defeating all the gym leaders :(. You can trade the pokemon you worked hard on to another save file though :).

I may or may not have another update of me beating Maylene to a pulp, depending on if I get that far tonight.

Can I do Bug? Can probably get plenty in Eterna Forest, :D and besides, I haven't played Platinum yet.

Good luck with that.
You'd need to spam Kricketune Fury Cutter to beat Roark. xD

y stri January 22nd, 2010 8:27 PM

Well, I'll take Bug, please. It's too underrated and underused, so I'll try it. Plus, there are more bugs on Platinum!

Decibel January 22nd, 2010 11:17 PM

Actually, you know what, I'll go for electric. Should be hard at first, but after that, alright.

Broadway January 23rd, 2010 6:37 AM

Haven't updated in a bit, but I have made some good progress!!

-Reached and passed through Floarama and the Windworks, meanwhile wished I had chosen ghost because Drifloon is cute! (Maybe next time)
-Traveled through the forest with no trouble at all.
-Reached Eterna, then wandered off to the east side to hunt for Meditite (blargh) and Chingling (yay!).
-What I actually found was Bronzor!! I forgot it appeared there, I was expecting to wait until I could get under the bike path.
-I caught about twelve Bronzor until I found one I liked (Serious nature, Levititate abilitye), and named it Mogo, at level 14.
-Also caught a Chingling, named Charlie, however I'm not sure about keeping two pure-psychic types. He's a great help for now, though, nice to have more than two on my team.
-Steamrolled Gardenia's gym, because at that point Sayd was about level 26 or so. Mogo and Charlie both also gained some levels. By the end, Sayd was level 30.
-Dealt with Team Galactic to get access to the bike. Discovered that fighting a level 23 Skuntank is really hard, even if your Kadabra is 30. Took two tries but I did it, then it occured to me I should evolve Sayd into an Alakazam (but I didn't).
-Did the intro to the Underground stuff.
-Rolled downhill on the bike path, fought all the trainers, then ignored the underneath part for now.
-Went east along 207 and 208 to reach Hearthome. By then Sayd was 32, Mogo was 24, and Charlie was 21 (only really used him if needed).
-Due to Sayd being 32, I managed to get into and beat Fantina's Gym. Oops, and LOL.
-Traveled east again, then north to Solaceon, my personal favourite town in the game.
-Visited the Unown kid, and the Solaceon ruins as well, caught a few Unown, though have no intention of using one.
-Went north through the long grass.
-Remembered that Lunatone can because when Sapphire is inserted in the GBA slot of a DS. Went back to Lake Verity near the starting town to hunt for one, but after half an hour without even seeing one, I threw in the towel. Maybe at one of the other lakes.
-Went back to route 210 in a minor huff, then east along 211 and on to Veilstone. Fought a guy with a Ralts along the way, and then checked the Pokedex to discover it appears in a couple of additional locations than where I thought.
-Trotted back to route 209 and ran around in the long grass just outside the Hearthome gatehouse (or whatever those are called), and accidentally KO'd a male Ralts before catching a female one.
-My DS battery light turned red, and it was 2:30 am, so I saved and turned it off. Now just gotta decide whether to try and breed a male Ralts, or just run around and catch one.

You do know you can only send one Pokemon over of your chosen type, then you have to catch the rest, without trading.

Interesting. Let me clarify something.

So if you start with say, Electric. Can you trade over a lvl. 5 Electric Pokemon to start? Or would you have to go until you find your first Electric type in the game without trading?

Callandor February 12th, 2010 7:59 PM

To my understanding, if you can't find your type before you get to Eterna, then you can trade. If you can though, you have to catch whatevers their.

And unfortunately I haven't played since my last update so I don't have one.
