Do you use monotypes?

any of the newer games would be my first choice. I feel like the older games FR/LG/E would offer more of a challenge.

It really depends on the team I'm putting together. I had an arcanine in my team for a while because of FlashFire, and it had better IVs to work with than some of my other choices at the time. I don't see anything inherently wrong with mono-type pokemon. They fill their niche just like any other.

No, but I'm aiming for Ground Monotype team when I get my 3rd Platinum. (Lost the other 2 , once due to sheer stupidity, then to moving.)
Yes, when I go for a monotype playthrough I'll usually pick a weaker type. I usually find them pretty challenging compared to a balanced team also pretty fun at the same time.
So far I've completed a Poison run through in Emerald, an Ice type run of Pearl and most recently, a very difficult Grass type run of White 2.

Currently have a Blue save where I'm playing through with a Monotype Poison team. Even naming them after various poisons!
Trainer Name:
Botulin, after the deadliest poison known to man, Botulinum Toxin.
Pokemon:
Beedrill: Oo-Suzume, after the venomous Japanese wasp Oo-Suzumebachi.
Zubat: Belladonna, another name for the infamous Deadly Nightshade.
Nidorino: Cnidocyte, the name of the poison that most poisonous mammals secrete.
Bellsprout: Oleander, the deadliest plant-poison known to man.
I plan on finishing off my team later on with a Tentacruel, whose name will relate to the Box Jellyfish, and a Muk, who I'll name after some deadly man-made poison.

No, but I've been thinking about doing a Normal mono team in Platinum.
I am currently doing my first Nuzlocke and am finding it extremely boring (could be because it is on Diamond and I don't like Diamond anyway). I have never attempted a monotype game, but it sounds a lot more fun than a Nuzlocke. My favorite types are Electric, Psychic, and Dark. My question is would I just pick any of the three starters to start and then give it up once I have one of the monotypes?

That's what I did with my Poison monotype. I even started with Bulbasaur, but I just feel like the runs are more fun using more common Pokemon. It's an "aspiring Gym Leader" sort of feel.
As for your type preferences, I'd say you should do a Dark one in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. Cacturne, Sharpedo, and Absol are the main Darks off the top of my head, but that sounds like a great fun team already!
