The Official Pokemon Ingame Challenge Thread

[Splash_King]

Note: This is the old challenge thread, with out-dated rules and is now inactive. Please take all challenges to the new thread.

Welcome to the Official Ingame Challenge Thread, a place where users take it apon themselves to take on both easy and hard challenges for any and all pokemon games. These challenges are all about beating the ingame story mode of pokemon, while limiting what you can use on your team, as well as a few other things.

This is all about testing yourself to see how good you truly are, or just for the fun of the challenge - it's also for recognition and bragging rights, even. In the next post will be the challenges you can choose from. Whenever you're doing a challenge, post about accepting the challenge and anything else the challenge requires, from then on, keep track of your progress here.

Also, anyone who completes a challenge per any game will be recorded in the next post, recognizing that player's skill for as long as Wiichat stands. Now then, start those challenges! Remember, if you have any suggestions for the challenges or even a new one, you're certainly free to post them. Feel free to comment or ask any questions as well.

* Also, credit goes to Nick Atack for the original idea in the Pokemon Social Group, as well as another forum for the info used to create the challenges.

Monotype Challenge

Basically, you go through a game using only one type of pokemon. Post here with what type you choose, and what game.
----------
Rules

1. You may only use one type of pokemon eg. Only Grass pokemon, only Fire pokemon, etc... You can't use one Fire and one Grass.
2. You may only use one of each pokemon eg. You can't have two Pikachus
3. You can't use two pokemon from the same evolution line eg. You can't use Pikachu and Raichu. Split Evolutions are fine eg. Poliwrath and Politoad or Slowbro and Slowking.
4. If your starter is not the same type you chose, you may use your starter until you catch a pokemon of your type.
5. You can use HM slaves of a type other than your own and may go into battle, but you can't attack with them in battle. You may only use items/switching out for their turn.
6. You are allowed two trades in your game. Trading to evolve pokemon, level up, give them TMs/HMs, giving them vitamins and etc. is not allowed in the two trades. Trading pokemon you can already get isn't allowed in the trades either. What does count is trading to obtain a pokemon you wouldn't be able to get yet eg. A sneasel before Snowpoint. This pokemon must be an egg or just hatched, and then trained from scratch on the game you are going to beat.

Single Challenge

You go through the game using a single pokemon.
----------
Rules

4. You may use other pokemon as "fodder", an example is my main pokemon is getting low on HP, I can switch in another pokemon I've caught to take a hit, heal my main pokemon, and switch him back in. Or my main pokemon has just been knocked out, so I switch in a fodder poke so I can revive it, then switch it back in. You may NOT attack or heal these fodder pokemon via items, however.
5. In the case of needing to catch pokemon to complete your pokedex (such as for obtaining HM 05 Flash in FR/LG), you MAY use other pokemon you've caught to battle and weaken wild pokemon.

Rules:

1. There has to be atleast 2 attacking moves per pokemon.
2. Please do not assign useless moves eg. splash or charm.

EDIT:

Combined Challenge Extra: All Trainer Challenge

You can add this extra "rule" to any challenge, which will count as a combined challenge if it does not already. If you add this to your challenge, you must face every trainer you encounter on screen, as well as any trainer that you know their location. Skipping any trainers makes this challenge void. Purposely skipping and then returning to defeat trainers after any period of time is not allowed.

When adding in this challenge, all other rules of the challenge(s) still apply.

Rules:

1: You do not need to challenge a gym as soon as you can, you may play ahead, but cannot get the next badge before the previous. You MUST get all badges in order.


Alright, that's all of the challenges! You can go ahead and choose any challenge(s) you want. If you beat the Combined Challenge, all the challenges you beat will be recognized both together under Combined Challenge, and seperatly in the other challenges. I'll be starting my own challenges soon.


EDIT: New challenge up!

The Battle Tower Challenge - credit goes to Strype McClaine.

The only competitive battling challenge. Basically, this challenge is done by combining another or multiple other challenges' teams/rules, with trying to get as many Battle Tower wins as you want.

Rules:

1. The rules for the challenge/s you picked are all still active for the challenge, however, trading will be allowed no matter what, and there are no move restrictions.

2. For the Moveset challenge, you are allowed to choose just one of your pokemon's movesets. Also, since it is only a team of three pokemon being used, only one moveset per poster, and only the first two.

3. For the Scramble challenge, you still choose one of your pokemon. Just as rule two, since you're using only a team of three, only the first two posters decide the pokemon to be used.

4. For the Single challenge, you must use two different pokemon on the team which are completely useless via moves AND species, e.g. a Magikarp and Feebas. The two useless pokemon must simply be unusable with no damaging/status effect moves.

[WMBQ]

Ooh, I've seen this on another forum before.

I think I'll take the monotype challenge for my Sapphire.

Type: Fighting

Proposed team:

Blaziken
Breloom
Medicham
Machamp
Heracross
Poliwrath

[Splash_King]

Challenge accepted, goodluck WMBQ!

I plan on doing a tough combined challenge soon enough.

[Splash_King]

Double post - bite me.

Well, considering I've finished all the preparations, I'll finally be taking up a challenge - a combined challenge.

I'll be doing Mono Type, combined with Unevolved, and combined with Single. So, I'll be choosing the type bug. I'm sure you're about to think "IS HE GOING TO RAISE A CATERPIE LOLOLOL?" or something of that nature, but I assure you, I'll complete this challenge easily. Eggs can go a long way.

In terms of what I'll be using as a bug type, it'l be Scyther. Unevolved from Scizor, is a bug type, and ofcourse, is a single poke. So yeah, accepted. If I'd have to double post here to keep my progress, I'll post in the Social Group instead, btw. And the game I'll do this for? ..Hmmmm, Platinum. Gives more of a challenge, don't you think?

[Pichu2k7]

Hey CK can I do unevolved challenge for Ruby?

[Splash_King]

Go for it Fraz. It's a tough one IMO, but yeah, go for it. Challenge accepted!

[Pichu2k7]

WOW!!! That was a nice quick reply! OK i'll do my best!

NOTE: Is it a problem if I change it to Emerald? My sister owns my Ruby version because I swapped it for Emerald >_<

[Splash_King]

Yeah, that's completely fine, Fraz. The version doesn't matter as long as you complete the challenge.

[Pichu2k7]

Yeah but my patience might run out every time one of my pokemon level =/
