The Pokémon Gym Leader Challenge!

The Pokémon Gym Leader Challenge!

What is this?
Objective: To complete the game with only one type pf pokemon
All this talk of pokemon lately has inspired me to create this;
A Challenge to prove your Skill as a Pokémon trainer!
As we all know, Gym Trainers are known for using pokemon with a certain type. Well now it's your turn!
A member may choose a type they wish to pursue and use only those types of Pokemon in battle.
Since starters are only Fire, Grass, or Water, some rules can apply.
Note that this is for fun and feel free to take pictures if you can.


Rules v1.6
YOUR STARTING FROM SCRATCH. So please don't sign up if you have a problem starting a new game file.
(10 Rules, updated if necessary)

Spoiler

1) You are allowed to use whatever Pokemon starter to use until the point where you can catch a Pokemon of your type. From there on, you are to use only that Pokemon type.
Only 1 member can choose each type. First come, First Serve!
Dual-types are allowed, but one of their types must correspond to the type you have selected!
For Example; If a Member chose Water type, Cloyster (Being of both Ice and Water) would be a permitted candidate.
You may reserve a type if you cannot start right away. Reservations last 10 days. (7 if some one else requests it)

2) Edited Rule! You are permitted 4 HM Slaves (1 for Water moves, 1 for Terrain moves, 1 for Misc. moves, and 1 for fly) to make the game easier. (An HM Slave is a pokemon you only use to teach HMs to) Your HM Slave does not have to correspond to your chosen type.
THESE MAY ONLY BE USED OUTSIDE BATTLE. IF THEY ARE UN-NEEDED TO CLEAR AN OBSTACLE, STORE THEM IN YOUR PC!
You may only use HM slaves in battle if you have under 2 of your pokemon types in your Roster.

3) Emulators are permitted, but No Cheats! Play fair. Also play at normal speed.

4) You are allowed to have a Pokemon that will evolve into your type.
Example; If you have chosen the Fighting type, and caught a Poliwag, you can keep it so long as you intend to level it to the corresponding type; Poliwrath (who is both Water and Fighting)

5) You may play any pokemon Game (From Blue/Red to Black/White) Try to choose a game that holds a surplus of the type you choose.
Example, choosing the Dark Type and playing Pokemon Blue, would be unwise since there are no Dark types in that game.

6) Legendaries are not permitted outside of the trio legends
Banned List: Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Groudon, Kyougre, Rayquaza, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Dialga, Palkia, Regigigas, Giratina, Dakrai, Arceus, Phione, Manaphy, Shaymin, Victini, Rehiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Genesect, Meleotta.

7) Edited Rule! Trading is only permitted to Evolve a Pokemon.

8) You are permitted 1 Helper until you have more than 2 pokemon iof your type in your Roster.

9) If you find your game doesn't hold a good amount of your pokemon type, you are more than welcome to change your game version so long as you haven't progressed too far into the game. (Before your 3rd Gym Badge)

10) You may only have 1 duplicate of 1 pokemon in your roster.
If the version you play has more than 6 pokemon of your type, duplicates are not permitted

That's fine.
If you read the first rule, you're allowed a helper until you catch your first steel type.
Along with your starter, you can get an HM slave.

So your roster can consist of 6 Pokemon of your type + 1 Helper + 1 HM Slave

 

The sprite is fine,
Link was just for those who wanted a quick pick.
since you're paying platinum, isn't your starter Chimchar?

 

Updated.
Feel fee to add levels if you want

 

Everythings in order except for a few things.
Your starting from scratch. So your starter is whatever the new game allows (I.e The Crystal starters)
You can still have dragon but you have to keep your starter until you hit a dragon type

 

Updated. Found a rendered Sprite, looks clean now

Since you posted, it will be reserved for a certain length of time (Like 24 hours)

Updated.

 

I permit the usage of emulators, but no cheats.
Just want to make that clear.

 

Hmmm. I've got Crystal, FireRed, Emerald, Pearl, and White... Which shall I try this on~?
