Pseudo-Habitat Challenge

    • Introductions


    Okay,so most of you remember,or know the concept of the Habitat Challenge, right?
    To those that don't, I'll remind you,
    FR/LG introduced Habitats,which were a conjunct of places,where Pokemon were most likely to live if they were real, or if the game wasn't based on routes.Later the Habitats helped to sort out the Pal Park Pokemon placement.This however was only implemented on FR/LG.
    Click to expand...
    Since,this function as only implemented on FR/LG,Pokemon from Generations IV and V don't have an assigned habitat,so I decided to come up with the "Pseudo-Habitat Challenge!"

    A few challenges,sorting Pokemon by appearance have already been done,but what i'm basically doing is sorting them by locations,I've thought of, like real life habitats,one Pokemon may be in more than one of those,this however,will be rare.

    But before we proceed any further,we better take a look at the rules, shan't we?

    Rules


    1. All main PokeCommunity rules apply (i.e. No Spamming,No Flaming,etc.)
    2. No cheating,the only instance hacking is accepted,is if you can't get a Pokemon of your area before the second gym,and if it's a pain to catch (Abra,for example) we can sort it out
    3. If you can only catch one,or two pokemons on your version,that matches the terms,you may hack enough for a team of 3 with 2 badges intervals.
    4. Trading is allowed only for substituting the above scenario,or evolving pokemon.
    5. You can do an Ultimate, i.e.: Do a run using the same requirements through all games.At the moment, BW isn't needed,but it would be appreciated.
    6. Have fun.

    The Groups


    Some groups,due to extension will have subgroups, to sort them further. Also, let be known that just because one Pokemon is on a group,it doesn't mean that its /pre-evolution/evolution(s)/alt. forms have to also be on that group.

    Some Pokemon can be suited on a certain area,for it's possible use instead of its form. For example, Cacturne on a farm,since it's a scarecrow, or Seadra on a garden,as it can be used as a watering "can".Use your imagination.

    • hmmm... Is this a viable challenge to add to my two running challenges? it seems interesting though...

    I'll do a Diamond City/ Animals. (Does that mean I cannot use Lucario since he is in the City/ Humanoids group?

    • Adding the two of you,technically Lucario is an animal,I put him in Humanoids because he does resemble humans a lot,so yeah you can you use it ^_^

    While i'm at it,criteria for sorting for the curious:

    Gardens: Be a plant, or a helpful bug(butterfly and bee) + Horsea/Seadra
    Graveyard: Some humanoids that could weep,some ground types for gravekeepers and ghosts and dark
    City: Man-shape,animals(Bugs,normal animals and pets) and objects/food.
    Laboratory: Artificial lifeforms that aren't mythical(ex.: Geodude,Onix) and fossils.
    Rainforest: ... animal based pokemon that could live on a rain forest + sudowoodo(complete plant)
    Farm: Pokemon that could live in a farm,and foxes that sneak in to steal chickens ^_^
    Field: POkemon that only fit on a savannah or grassy area.
    Vlahalla: Mythical pokemons(Dragons)

    • You can't, as you can get Starly,Staravia,Staraptor,Shinx,Luxio,Glameow,Purugly,Chatot,Riolu,Croagunk,Toxicroak,Finneon,Lumineon

    Rounding up to Staraptor,Luxio,Purugly,Chatot,Lucario ...,Toxicroak and Lumineon.
    Which are more than 5,leaving you enough options,so sorry but you can't hack another Eevee.

    Sign me up!

    I'll do a Rainforest Ultimate. Fire Red, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum and Black.

    Also, just wondering...is breeding allowed?

    Oh, and is there a minimum team size?

    • @tachikaze316 NO,no team limit,and if the baby (or a branch evolution) fits the requirements yes,but if only the evolution you already have,only if you want dupes

    @miltankRancher G'luck then

    -Rushed through the Rocket Hideout in Celadon, beat Giovanni, got the Silph Scope
    -Beat Team Rocket up in Pokemon Tower, got the Pokeflute
    -Went south and got the super rod, fished up Dwayne the Poliwhirl just north of Vermillion City (Get it? Because Dwayne Johnson's a wrestler and Dwayne sounds kinda like drain)

    -Bought a water stone and evolved Dwayne.
    -Dwayne beat most of the Celadon Gym.

    -But Erika was a team effort. I didn't actually lose anyone during the match, I just figured "she has three pokemon, I have three pokemon, why not match them up one on one?"

    Current Team:
    Pokemon-FireRed_01-1.png
    Pokemon-FireRed_05-1.png
    Pokemon-FireRed_04-1.png


    I think I might just stick with these three for this game. I can probably get pretty good type coverage out of them.

    Pokemon-FireRed_02-3.png

    -Swept Sabrina's team. She got one turn during the fight, and wasted it on Calm Mind.
    -Because I'm too lazy to catch a fly slave, ran to Vermillion City, bought repels and went through Diglett's Cave
    -Surfed down to Cinnibar Island.
    -Went through the mansion and got the key to the gym.
    Pokemon-FireRed_06-1.png

    -Y'know how he says "don't waste it (Fire Blast) on an aquatic pokemon"? Guess what all the damage Dwayne took came from.
    -Ran/surfed to Viridian City
    -Went to the gym, beat the "You must be running out of steam" guy first...like I always do, his placement seems to suggest he's meant to be fought first, but his dialogue suggests he should be fought after a bunch of others, what's up with that?
    Pokemon-FireRed_07.png

    -Beat Giovanni easily.
