Tbh, a monotype team in any gen is not a good idea!

I can get a decent type coverage if I do poison! I can finally get that tentacruel I wanted for so long! And Venasaur, or Victreebel, Vileplume or Venomoth! Muk or Weezing?

I might play blue. Is Arbok any good?

Possible team:
Nidoking/Nidoqueen
Tentacruel
Venusaur/Victreebel/Vileplume
Golbat/Venomoth/Beedrill
Muk/Weezing
Haunter/Arbok (if Red)

Parasect isn't part poison, is it?

Parasect is Bug/Grass in all games, from Gen 1 to Gen 7.

Except for some Medals you get for defeating the E4 and Champion in BW2.

It's its own competitive ladder, so I wouldn't say that. Some types are obviously better than others for monotype (ex: psychic is obviously better for monotype than ice (which has gotten a little better this gen)), but most types can have a serviceable monotype team if built well and the player is capable of playing them well. Gen 1 has a lower amount of pokemon so it makes building a team a little more challenging (except for bug, normal, grass and water. There's always a lot of those). Water is generally a great monotype type to use in most generations, but poison is also definitely an option in Gen 1 due to how much more diverse it was then many of the other types with dual typing. However, if the player is capable enough, a monotype team is usually a decent enough team to win battles.

SaRo|Rapidash:
I love doing monotype run throughs, but gen 1 is exceptionally poor because there's only 151 Pokémon in the game (realistically more like 143 by you exclude stuff like the legendary Birds, Mew(two) and the dratini line) meaning there's very little room to choose your team. Ghost and dragon aren't possible, Dark and Steel aren't in so that's 4 excluded instantly

Still, anything beats fire monotype in Diamond and Pearl
