Since jonathondrag hasn't been on since November 1, I will be taking up the new monotype thread! In this challenge, you can choose one type of Pokemon, and you must beat either Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald with a team of only that type.

Rules
1) Dual-Types are allowed.
2) You have beat your challenge when you defeat the Ellite Four and the Champion.
3) You are allowed to do a type, even if someone else is.
4) It isn't a race, so no need to rush!
5) No trading please, unless it is for evolution purposes.
6) Obviously, no cheating or hacking.
7) You may use emulators.
8) Only use Pokemon under your type!
9) At least one Pokemon, with the exception of Electric types, must be caught before you leave Dewford.
10) Please update frequently, and when you do, try to include what you've done, your team so far, and try to make it interesting. :)
11) Have fun!

I would like to start out by saying that Dragon and Ice are also unobtainable from the beginning...

Okay then...

Name: Roxas ingame, .Eclipse outside. But you should know that
Type: You know this too, but dark for everyone else's purposes.
Version: Don't you know this? God...it's emerald.

________________________

I'm putting all of my updates from the last thread here.

I've finally found how much I love this game...Even though it took a lot of level grinding to do anything. Poison is tough in the beginning (You'll see how this went down in the rest of this post) But I feel it offers a lot of rewards later on.

The First Gym Badge
-I started with Mudkip and immediately caught a Wurmple who luckily ended up as a Dustox (Horokeu). After going through all of the story stuff, I made it to Rustboro...And my frustration began.
-Roxanne's Nospass not only resisted my attacks, but also was amazingly strong for my poor Dustox. I had to grind Dustox to level 20 before I won.

The Second Gym Badge
-This was MUCH easier. 1HKO'd 90% of the Pokes in that gym, and I resisted fighting!
-Went through the cave and proceeded to go through the story. This was the time I really realized how much I loved this game- and how long it's been since I've played it.

The Third Gym Badge
-Caught Oddish (Ren Tao) and Gulpin (nomnomnom)
-Trained the two of them until they evolved.
-That. Magneton. Resisted. EVERY ATTACK I HAD. But after a ton of training, I was able to faint it. The other three were incredibly easy, but Magneton makes this gym the hardest yet. (Yes; Even harder then Roxanne.)

Current Party:


Dustox (Horokeu) (Lv. 27)
-Gust
-Psybeam
-MoonLight
-Protect

Horokeu is actually pretty good so far. He's the only access to phsycic moves I'll have in a while.



Gloom (Ren Tao) (Lv. 27)
-PoisonPowder
-Sleep Powder
-Acid
-Absorb

Not the hardest of hitters but still can cause poison and sleep. I am in great need of stronger attacking options here (Although he did take out Manectrec)



Swalot (nomnomnom) (Lv. 29)
-Body Slam
-Yawn
-Encore
-Shock Wave

No poison type moves (Deleted Sludge for Shock Wave) But is arguably the best on the team. Body Slam is really hard hitting for this early, Yawn and Encore are moves I use for my COMPETITIVE team including Swalot. Shock Wave is for coverage.

Note: A good friend of mine is doing a Dark monotype (Not logging though) and we will be battling after the 4th, 6th, and 8th gyms, and with our end parties. I will post those battles here. He skipped Mighteyena and only has a Lv. 31 Saybley (Around the same point I'm at. He had a MUCH easier time to get there though haha)
The Fourth Gym Badge
-I was EXTREMELY disappointed when I found Roselia wasn't available in Emerald. I skipped Koffing and Muk (They would ruin the awesome streak my team is having) and went straight for Route 114- And caught the almighty Seviper. I like it's moveset, so I think once I train it enough I'll be good to go :D. Im getting Tentacool at the next chance, and then my team shall be complete! (Unless I decide to go for Muk- which I doubt will happen.)
-The 4th gym was difficult, but not impossible. I took care of Numel with Seviper and Slugma with Gloom. Camerupt was a hard one but Swalot took care of him. Then that god damn Torkoal came out. This was my second try on it, and I learned that it would be better to take a stalling approach. I poisoned him, and proceeded to stall with Protect and Moonlight on Dustox, and then Gulpin's great defensive stats. I came out on top! (Thank god...)
-Now it's off to face my dad! I'll train up Seviper some more by then...Possibly get everyone to Lv. 32.

Current Party:


Dustox (Horokeu) (Lv. 30)
-Gust
-Psybeam
-MoonLight
-Protect

Not any real changes- Just leveling.



Gloom (Ren Tao) (Lv. 30)
-PoisonPowder
-Sleep Powder
-Acid
-Absorb

Again, no changes. But I'm still waiting to get Giga Drain D:



Swalot (nomnomnom) (Lv. 31)
-Body Slam
-Toxic
-Encore
-Shock Wave

Swapped Yawn for Toxic. He's pretty good, and I'm sure he'll help in the E4.



Seviper (Loci) (Lv. 26)
-Wrap
-Screech
-Bite
-Poison Tail

I really love his moveset. Screech is always good, Wrap is ok, and Bite/PT do wonders in terms of coverage. He's just a little underleveled.
It turns out my friend "Accidently" Challenged and beat the 5th gym leader. So we'll be skipping the battle we should've had >_<

Thanks :D

Flying is a really fun one imo. But having Rock and Electric thrown at you in the very beginning is frustrating. Tropius <33 haha

First gym completed, update added.

Started with Treecko (no duh, best grass type in the game) and caught a Shroomish (Tecko and Shodders respectively). Defeated Roxanne with ease.

Then went on and defeated Brawly (Leech Seed FTW!).

I need to find a Lotad now for Flash, even though I know the design of Dewford Cave off by heart.

QUICK EDIT: Finished getting that thing there for Steven, and I'm getting a little seasick. Accidentally going back and forth.
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

Ninja Caterpie~ Did you end up teaching Lotad Flash?

As for me...
Silcoon evolved again, and I caught a Nincada name Ninja. I accidentally turned the game off after training, so I had even MORE training to do. But once Nincada learned Sand Attack, I decided to challenge Roxanne. The first time I fought her I lost, so I made a strategy and tried again...

I sent out Beautifly first, which was a major mistake, Geodude killed her in one hit with Rock Tomb.
I switched to Wing, who took out the next two Geodudes with one Water Gun each.
I switched to Taillow, who took a Rock Tomb and fainted.
I sent in Nincada, and spammed Sand Attack. Surprisingly, little Nincada did really good! The Nosepass' accuracy couldn't go any lower, so I kept using Leech Life until that ran out. Then I used Scratch. By the time Ninja had died, Nosepass had already used it's berry and Roxanne had used her ption on it.
I sent out Wing, who finished Roxanne off in two Water Guns. :)

Hehehe... I haven't played a game of Ruby in 2 years or so. Plus the R/B/Y Monotype died :[
So sign me up!

JohnPaulJones/PlatniumPiano
Steel (Sounds difficult:P)
Ruby (Go to hell Emerald!)

Still debating if I should use VBA or not though... Oh wait stupid question. VBA.
I have no idea how fast progress will be though :/ I'll try to post a brief update at least once a week.

EDIT: Wow... A quick look at the 'dex shows there's only 6 steel types in the game 0.0 This will be ridiculous haha. Is it okay if I catch and use Registeel?

And a quick update...
-Went through the motions and named my character Dart.
-Rescued Birch with a Treecko (The best thing about R-S-E)
-Decided to stick with the original name of TREECKO.
-Leveled him up to 11, and stopped in Petalburg for now.

Team
TREECKO(Treecko) Level 11:
-Pound
-Leer
-Absorb
-Quick Attack

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
