Let's Play! Pokémon Monotypes: Book 1: Grass

Hi, Jenna Ortega here! (She’s so awesome) First of all, let me just say I’m terrible with technology and secondly I learn from my mistakes so if I’ve broken any rules, I apologise, it probably wasn’t deliberate, just let me know and I’ll try my best to redeem myself.

I love monotype runs and I thought Colosseum would be really interesting because of how few Pokémon are even obtainable. I’m starting with Grass because I consider that to be the first official type. My final team is gonna be Meganium/Jumpluff/Sunflora/Tropius so wish me luck!

Best of luck! I've looked at doing a few of these in nuzlocke form and learned a few things for the available encounters. I did a hardcore nuzlocke of Colosseum a couple years ago and actually completed a hardcore mono-water nuzlocke of it last year. If you ever want to chat, have any questions, or need any advice, feel free to reach out. Really looking forward to following this! :)
 
I see the world in a very unusual way. I almost see time backwards if that makes sense so I kind of have to write down what I’m gonna do and then that influences my actions :)

I also have something called synesthesia where my senses are all extremely interlinked. When I play Pokémon I feel all the movements and taste all the numbers and colours and it allows me to cheat whilst playing the game. I want to be a streamer to show everyone :)

Anyway, Im starting again because I don’t want to be too picky. I see game files as canvasses to express my creativity so I don’t care about difficulty. I’m going to call myself Wes because it’s default and I’m not doing nicknames because it’s a rabbit hole. As long as the Pokémon have the right ability and average stats (90 total or 75 if mono attacker) I should just keep. Actually I’m not gonna look at the stats (apart from Hp obvs)

I Started the game, knocked out Mak, caught Bayleef and banished the eons to the shadow realm. I’m only allowed to have grass Pokémon full stop. It’s not like I’m gonna get a shiny on Colo anyway :) I also caught Skiploom.

Im gonna skip as many trainers because it will take too long and my guys won’t level up anyway and they should still evolve post purification. How the hell am I gonna beat Skrub with these 2 lol? At least on Dakim I can grind XD

I’ve been using Bayleef as my physical attacker in hyper mode but I might need to toggle on and off for synthesis coz of recoil and no items clause. Skiploom is just gonna spam sleep powder coz he’s a douche. Im not worried about Not Michael Jackson and not that worried about Madam Aphrodite.

I forgot to get Sleep Powder pre-Cail but i brute forced through. The last thing I did was the tournament which was actually kinda close vs Mirez. I don’t know the movesets and abilities and I don’t like looking them up. I didn’t use sleep powder on deli because he can have vital spirit. He did a lot with present although that could’ve been an 80 roll. I mostly just slept n swept but I was just down to Skiploom at the end coz Bayleef was slain by a mighty critical peck.

Next I need to collect my reward, kill my reward because it can’t photosynthesise (secretly relived because it’s wings have no shadows, it’s stats suck and the only way it can do damage is in hyper mode) I’ve just been reminded of Jumpluffs shadow and feel slightly nauseous - well the longer it takes to beat Skrub ;)

So Yh it’s basically the Bayleef and Skiploom show, then if I beat Skrub it’ll become the Meganium and Jumpluff show and then I get to use the almighty Sunflora in Realgam. I get tropius right at the end and I’ll probably get Slaughtered on the bosses :/
 
Well Yanma got his revenge by hitting speed boost supersonic and then my guys themselves in confusion until they fainted :o I won round 2 and beat Reath and Firma although the latter was scary. I also lost to the cave guard on the first time. Goldeen and Yanma are bad omens lol. Meditite missed HJK and fainted and Dunsparce hit like a truck. I owned Miror B. As anticipated - the ludis couldn’t touch me and suds was swiftly put to sleep. I released plusle because good against water doesn’t necessarily make you herbaceous. The Skrub fight honestly wasn’t too bad, I played around Wob Jr and Top wasn’t on form. I got bayleef in HM to bypass intimidate and thankfully skippy landed the first SP. I love making tactical use of Hyper mode :) croc, quag, furret, qwilfish, meditite and dunsparce hit really hard. After that you have the option to purify so it’s more of a nuanced decision.

The game opens up massively at this point so I’m gonna need some time to map everything out and cross reference it all using my synesthesia.
