4th Gen D/P/Pt Monotype Challenge

[Broadway]

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...

Current team:

Sayd
Female | lv 17 | Serious | Synchronize
-Confusion
-Teleport
-Disable

 

[Callandor]

Rules:

7) No trading except for evolutionary reasons

Sign me up for Dragon please.Provided i can trade pokemon.

I'll hatch a Dratini for a starting pokemon, then move over eggs for Bagon and Trapinch.

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]

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]

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:

Edward; Level 20

Giselle; Level 17

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]

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

 

[Rawr?]

I just got pearl rom so i will do this.

I pick fire.

Edit:I wanna pick water now.

 

[empty streets]

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]

can i do a flying monotype challenge plez?

I should really be getting to my first update. It will only be up to the first Rival battle though, since I haven't gotten any further. I'll update this post again when I defeat Roark.

Edit: I'll update this again when I get to Floaroma town, since I'm progressing through the game so swiftly.

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 :).

Added everybody.

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

 

[y stri]

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]

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