    Hm, well, I guess I'll try this Monotype Challenge. Aaaaaaand... I guess I'll go with flying, on Red Version.
    Just a question, do we have to use our type choice as soon as we get it, and are we allowed to use other types for training until they evolve?

    Okay, here we go... first update!

    Update:
    -Named my Trainer "Ben"
    -Gave my rival the imaginative name... "Rival"
    -Withdrew the potion (thought it might come in handy...)

    -Tried to make my escape from Pallet Town, but was thwarted in my efforts by Prof. Oak :(
    -Chose Bulbasaur (obviously)
    -Struggled through against Rival (had to use my potion and everything...)
    -Got Oaks Parcel, delivered it and received a pokédex.
    -Caught a Level 3 Nidoran M.
    -Made a quick visit to Viridian Forest to catch a Level 4 Weedle.
    -Came back down to Viridian, and after some training beat Rival (with only Nidoran)
    -Went through Viridian Forest, Weedle evolved to Kakuna.

    Gym Battle: Vs Brock
    In what may come as a surprise to you all I used Bulbasaur and its Vine Whip to beat both of Brocks pokémon in one hit... meaning I won a Boulderbadge.

    you can train a pokemon that is not your type as long as it evolves into a pokemon of your type

    -Withdrew the potion.
    -Got Charmander, named it Draconian.
    -Defeated Bubbles.

    -Growl
    -Ember
