4th Gen D/P/Pt Monotype Challenge

[Broadway]

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.

Current Team:

Sayd (lvl 36) (Yes, I still need to evolve her)
Female | Serious | Synchronize
-Psybeam
-Teleport
-Miracle Eye
-Recover

Mogo (lvl 32)
Indeterminate | Serious | Levitate

I think I really love Bronzor now. AUGH. BLASPHEMY.

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

[Aquerex]

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]

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.
