    Pokemon Challenge Thread

    Ok, so fun fact. I was actually planning on writing my own one of these, but I put Uzi's original version there in it's place. However, X!! beat me to it. So huge, massive thanks to X!! for writing this out for us I also added another challenge in, just in case you decide you want to do it.




    This thread was inspired by the Pokémon Challenge thread that Uzi made in the previous forum.




    Pokémon is a fun game, but some people like to spice things up by doing certain challenges to make the game harder, in some way. Here's a list of challenges you can do with the main series Pokémon games! If I forgot to add something, or if you have your own made up challenge run that you want to share, then feel free to make a post about it.

    Note: For most, if not all of these runs, optional rules such as banning certain Pokémon, changing your battle style to "set", having a level limit of some sort, etc. to make the challenge easier or harder are allowed as long as it doesn't conflict with the rules of the challenge you're doing.

    Spoiler!

    My favorite way to play Pokemon now is to just pick a team of Pokemon I've never used before. Considering I've already used a lot of the good Pokemon, I'm stuck with ones that I never cared for. After that, I go with these rules:

    No Buffing allowed.
    Items in battle are limited to as many times as my opponent's and ONLY after they use one (I didn't see more than 2).
    Set battles (because shift is cheating)
    Take your losses like Ash does. You only lose like 3 Pokedollars anyway.
    If your Pokemon has an evolution branch or can change into multiple forms, choose the worst evolution/form.

    I recommend this style of play if you want to be challenged, but still have an actual team with strategic moves.

    I mentioned it to a few people, but the last run I did was Omega Ruby Blind (But I played Sapphire and Emerald, so I knew a lot of stuff) and my team was:

    Magcargo (check this Pokemon's base stats)
    Mightyena
    Linoone
    Masquerain
    Minun (I gave this one Copycat for extra giggles. It was fun watching it beat Camerupts with Earth Power)
    Castform

    Steven was literally the hardest battle, which was extremely cool and fun at the same time.

    >Haxlocke
    YEAH **** THAT ****.

    (I'm posting this after the OP was edited, so my double posting isn't completely unreasonable btw)

    Edit: If you're going to list down people currently doing a challenge, I'd recommend you put it in the post with the Hall of Fame, because there's a lot of space there compared to the OP.

    Also, your explanation of the haxlocke rules is slightly wrong.

    Chain play/hot potato. Also, this is why I wouldn't recommend putting a "People taking on this challenge" category after each individual challenge, and just having an "Ongoing challenges" list for every challenge instead. Pokémon challenges have a tendency to be combined and mixed together, so you wouldn't really know where it should be listed down.

    Also, this.

    Know what? I'm going to prove once and for all Tepig is all you're gonna need to beat a main game. Time for me to step up to the plate and be a man. A 17-year-old, Pokemon-playing, thin-as-all-hell man.

    B/W With Tepig only. God, I'm gonna hate myself before this is over....

    This describes me so well it's saddening...
