The Time Warp Challenge


1DaliPersistenceMemory1930.jpg

Backstory

You are a Pokémon Trainer living in the 30th Century. You've always been interested in other Eras and wished you could time travel, just to experience the past. But your family wouldn't allow it because it appears to be way too dangerous. Stories have been told, about people that travelled through time before, never to return. Besides, you don't even have a Time Traveller license and that's another obstacle in your way.
One fateful day, however, your father decides to take you to one of his conventions. Despite not really wanting to go, you decide to do it, just because you had nothing better to do.
Much to your surprise, the convention is about time travelling and they even have a Time Machine. Without thinking it twice, you sneak away from everybody and into the Time Machine. You smile excitedly as you sit down, buckle up and begin pressing buttons, imagining what it would be like if it actually worked.
Suddenly, a bright, purple light with an azure hue begins to shine and the whole machine starts shaking. A feeling of joy mixed with panic engulfs you as you hold tight to a lever, waiting.
A few moments later, the light begins to fade and the shaking stops. You sit quietly, listening, but are unable to hear a sound. After building up enough courage, you get out of the Machine to find yourself in a whole different place. You are excited, yet scared so you reach for your backpack, only to realize you left it at home, along with all of your Pokémon.
You realize you can't just stand there so you decide to get back into the machine and go back home. But the Machine seems to have run out of energy so you're stuck. After thinking for a while, you decide to hide the Machine the best you can and to explore the newly found land.
What will you find in this new world?

I'm a little surprised to see no one else post yet so I guess I will do this one as well!

Username: Joshbl56
Game: Silver
Era: Egyptian

Quick question: When you say no nose, do you mean like how Lanturn looks like it doesn't have a nose or quite literally no nose, like Graveler?


EDIT: Another question: Can we use dual type pokemon who has only 1 type on the chart (like paras for the egyptian era one)?

By no nose, I mean no visible nose like Meowth, Jigglypuf, Wigglytuff, Aipom, Geodude, Graveler and so on. And yes, you can use dual types that have 1 type from the chart.

Before I start beating my pokemon's head against a tree for the next few hours, are we required to have both pokemon in the team?

EDIT:

Please ignore my question as I can't go any farther. I ran out of pokeballs trying to catch a krabby to travel over water. I have officially ended this run by not being able to go any farther.

I would still like to know if we are have to get both pokemon though as I want to retry another Egyptian Era run but this time on emerald please :3

I'll do a duplicate sign-up, since I got my LeafGreen back from my friend. *"steals" all of his pokemon through palpark*
And as I like planning out my teams before hand, here they are - let me know if something isn't allowed.

Username: Rewy
Game: Emerald
Era: Renaissance Era

  • Milotic (whee, hours of fishing! at least now I'll have something to do at school... 95% of my time there I spend playing pokemon)
  • Lanturn (I see it as cute and it's main Water/ type, please note if it doesn't fit the category )
  • Gardevoir
  • Castform (Fairy-group + Normal)
  • Altaria (as Flying one )
  • ... something I'll see what random I find for this spot (surprises, surprises!)
Probably going to start with a Mudkip just because it's the most adorable water thing at the start and retire him (without evolving) after a second gym or so.

Username: Rewy
Game: LeafGreen
Era: Westward Expansion

  • Rapidash (never used one...)
  • Persian (Normal-type, non-Fairy, mostly for that pickup as Meowth)
  • Fearow / Dodrio (not sure which one)
  • Rhydon (Surf!)
  • Tauros (I'm curious...)
  • Primeape (So not going to beat Brock with a birdy...)

...Bruno is going to murder me in E4... *nervous laughter*

Onwards!

You aren't required to get both of the mandatory Pokémon o.o I left two or more choices here and there so people can pick one they think suits their team.
Oh and I added a new rule in order to prevent the game from ending due to not being able to catch a HM slave & whatnot.

Your teams are fine o.o
I'm going to add you to the list.
