Monotype suggestions

[XxSilentWinterxX]

I want to work on my writing and brush up on my Pokemon skills as well, so I've decided to do a Monorun. I want you guys to vote which type I should use. I'll start sometime next week, so I'm looking forward to this.

[pyrromanis]

Wow! More an more are starting new monoruns and that's awesome. I'm voting for a ghost monorun cause is not a common type for the begining of the game!
Good luck whatever monorun you start

[ArmoredGuardian]

STEEL!!!!!

[Guzam]

Ugggggh, Dragon type is winning again? Come on guys, be original. Pick something new that hasn't been done before >>. I'm not going to give dragons to everyone for their runs >>

[Jacobliterator]

DEATH METAL.........I MEAN STEEL.........I MEAN VENUSAUR.

A Ground-type mono would be interesting to read

I'm currently doing a ground monotype and it isn't that interesting :/

The only hard part is before Julia where you can only have your starter, but after that it's pretty easy! You can have a lot of options and so many double types that makes the monorun look less mono...

Ah I see. I don't think I've ever seen anyone here do a Ground mono, so I voted for that.

If so, I'll put another vote to Electric.

FAIRY! FAAIIIRRRYYYY! FFAAAAIIIII *dies of *dies again* *

[XxSilentWinterxX]

Yeah, I'd rather not do a monorun that someone else is doing. Though if you guys wanted it then I would. However, Ghost is winning at the moment, so I'll keep the polls open for a day longer before I start my monorun. Wish me luck!

[heloo5t5]

*im dead octy but If I was alive I'd tell you once more to do a fairy one*

[XxSilentWinterxX]

It seems like Ghost is the winner, but the issue is who to make my starter? and since I can't legally get any ghost types until around Corey or so (if I'm correct, that being Shuppet and Pumpkaboo), what should I do about that?

[Simon]

Most likely you would have to ask an individual to "give" you one of the Ghost pokemon you feel that should be your starter.

[XxSilentWinterxX]

I figured as much. I was just curious as to what people would like to see for my starter. ^^;;

[Simon]

I nominate Honedge or Frillish :]]]

[ArmoredGuardian]

I nominate Honedge because its a steel type and I voted for steel

[Xiri]

Frillish would be pretty cool as a starter

[pyrromanis]

I would vote for Honedge but it's to op! Maybe if you put a rule that you will evolve it only once or zero times (until maybe charlotte?)

Honedge would just be way too overpowered even by my tastes. It learns its perfect moveset exclusively through lvlup and evolution, has the perfect fighting/ghost move coverage, and can setup fairly safely entirely by itself. If theres any pokemon that could potentially solo reborn, honedge would be a good candidate, double battles would be the only threat lol.

I think the best two canidates for ghost mono run starter would be ghastly/litwick. Both are really strong but not gamebreaking by themselves and are two stage evolutions pokemon like traditional starters.

Do to limited options Id probably say back it up with one or two other ghost types so that the early game is remotely playable without going past level cap.

Theres always the option of haxing in something like Insurgence's delta charmander but they may be excessive.

If ghost I'd say use Litwick or Frillish as a starter. Especially Frillish will make the first 2 gyms harder.

But I voted poison, so.... there's that...

[Omega_Ra1der]

HOW about 2 starters? Honegde but use it after the 1st gym. Treepump just because

[XxSilentWinterxX]

I think Frillish would be amazing. I mean, I like the idea of Honedge too, but I think he'd make it too easy. ^^;;

[Helia]

Snorunt as starter?

[XxSilentWinterxX]

Oh, that's true because of Froslass. XD I hadn't considered that, but figuring it would take such a long time to get it to a Froslass, I might opt to using it way later rather than earlier. It couldn't be a ghost run if I had Snorunt for a big chunk of the game.

Also, who would I talk to about getting the correct Pokemon as a starter? I plan on going with a Male Frillish, but I don't think they're available in-game yet.

Send me your save. If you save in the room where you pick your starter will probably be ideal.
