Changed my mind. I decided mono-fire would be much harder, and I was right. I decided to only use pokemon that could be caught without interaction with other games, and obviously, I'll be needing something to surf, so I created a new rule: Only one HM slave at a time in your party, you must have a minimum of 6 pokemon of the chosen type that you train to a reasonable degree (i.e. Are capable of fighting your next major battle without being merely death fodder) and for pokelathon etc, you can only use pokemon of the chosen type. Also, no legendaries, not because I think it would be too easy, but I'd rather SR for a good Ho-oh and Entei.
My current team is this, right after beating Whitney:
Quilava Lvl 20 (Starter) (Special Sweeper, I got Modest =))
Magby Lvl 20 (Pokewalker) (Mixed Sweeper who can Burn)
Ponyta Lvl 19 (Pokewalker) (Physical Sweeper, has Run Away which sucks)
Growlithe Lvl 19 (Route 36) (Bulky Mixed Sweeper, Its Flash Fire, but has a good nature and seemingly good IVs)
Slugma Lvl 19 (Primo Egg) (Burn + Light Screen Support, but Gentle =()
As for the final member of the team, I was wondering if houndour is available by using objects in the Safari Zone prior to the Elite 4. Mainly because I don't want to use Flareon, who is the only non-legendary left available in game other than a possible Houndour.
And no porting in items either. Pokethalon isn't so bad for getting a Fire Stone, since most of the fire Types have decent Speed, and Ponyta is a beast getting the MVP bonus all the time, but Voltorb Flip for the Flamethrowers is killing me, and I don't want to overload on Fire Blasts for PP Considerations. Farming the Beach Course on the Pokewalker for Heart Scales isn't too bad either, I already have 3, but I'll need a few more since I really need Thunderpunch/fang, Extremespeed and Maybe even Megahorn.
Stupid AI makes it a little bit easier to an extent. The random trainer in Union cave with the level 11 onix lost one on one to Slugma, Magby was able to beat rivals Crocanw which was 2 levels higher because Sunny Day, and it wasting its time on 3 Scary Faces gave me enough time to Burn it with Ember, then Faint Attack it to death, again, one on one. Slugma's Yawn makes it easy to win the Bug Catching contest
Whitneys Miltank was horrible, especially since it had Thick Fat. Also, I had no idea it had the Lum Berry until I sacrificed my Slugma for Flame Body Burn Hax. Luckily, I was able to get 4 Leers on it, after figuring out not even Sunny Day boosted Fire Blast hurts much, and get Burn hax on it with Magby so Ponyta could Headbutt it to death without triggering that damn Super potion)
