Re: 2007 TPM D/P Monotype Challenge
Yay, I've started my next Monotype Challenge! I'll try not to let EV training bog me down this time. ^_^;;
I took a look at what pokémon are available in the relatively early game, and thus which types are feasible for this...I didn't find much. ¬_¬ Ghost looked promising, though, thanks to the fact that I'm playing Pearl Version. So here I go!
Name: Rita
Type: Ghost
The name Rita is based on spirit. As for why I'm playing a girl again, there are two reasons. First, I've been tending to name my monotype trainers after the Gym Leaders in an old forum RPG, and the Ghost-type Leader was an old woman named Rita; second, I like going through the game as both a male and a female to see what the differences are like (mainly the personalities of the other-gender rivals), I was male in my first playthrough and this is only my second.
The opposite of the spirit is the body, the corporeal, from the Latin corpus...so I named by rival Corey. (And if he keeps running into me like that, I'm going to rename him Corpse.)
I picked up Turtwig, and after much delaying and detouring, nicknamed him Army. This is something I do every so often; when I end up with three HMers on a team at once, I'll sometimes nickname them Army, Navy and Air Force; Navy is the one with the water HMs, Air Force is the one with Fly, and Army is whichever one's left over. (What about the Marines? some might say. The Marines are my battlers. Heh.)
I bought a few Pokéballs in Sandgem and caught Air Force: a Starly. Then, not long after, Lucas gave me five more Pokéballs. Yeah, whatever.
I battled my way to Jubilife and called it a night.
Team:
ARMY L10
Tackle, Withdraw, Absorb, —
Battler for now, soon to be HMer.
AIR FORCE L2
Tackle, Growl, —, —
The obligatory Miniscule Bird That Will Somehow Support My Weight.
Next: My Third HMer and First Badge await in Oreburgh!
