I was literally crying in tears and shaking uncontrollably as I finished Lin 2. I completed my first monotype (ice), no-item, set mode, run in one of the most difficult Pokémon fangames I have ever played. I can truly say that my knowledge of this game exponentially expanded due to the SHEER amount of weakness the ice type have. I am proud to present my champion team of six. (I am also currently taking Japanese classes in university, so I went with a Japanese naming scheme for my Pokemon! I just wish Reborn had East Asian letters installed. Meh, romaji will do. Click the spoiler below the picture for the rough translations!)
I am willing to post a Q&A session on how I managed to pull off this godforsaken run! Do I recommend this to anybody?
...NO. The ice type has a bunch of weaknesses that require a lot of skill and planning to triumph. In the worst of battles, (Kiki, Samson, Titania, Anna, Lin 2), I had to memorize the switching patterns, micromanage held items, and choreograph EVERY SINGLE move to ensure my victory. I do not recommend it for beginners.
Plans for post-game? I might just drop my rules. Yes, Articuno and Kyurem might be there, but I seriously do not want to push with the monotype anymore! It's mentally, and sometimes, emotionally exhausting. As long as I have beaten the Elite Four, I have technically won the game, so that concludes my first mono-ice run!
