The Time Warp Challenge

Any dual type pokemon is acceptable as long as it has one of the allowed types, and doesn't have a banned type. If a Pokemon has only not mentioned types, you still can't use it. Does that make more sense?

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about this, KagamiChan.

i think i get it so i cannot have a lunatone in stone age(rock types are allowed,psychic types are banned) but i can have a ludicolo (grass is allowed, water is not mentioned)

That's the way I understand it, but wait for KagamiChan to confirm this. I don't wanna be intruding on her challenge.

How about these ideas?

I started playing stone age earlier, and am posting my sign up now. Anyhow, that's how I read it too, and I use a Ludicolo too! :D

That is correct.

Yes, you got that right. You can use any dual-types with one type on the Era types list and 1 type that isn't mentioned.

You're not intruding at all, I appreciate the help xD

I was thinking about Ice Age myself, right as I was clicking on the thread xD
Those are some pretty neat ideas, I'll think about it xD but Ice Age has a 90% chance of being added.

I'm really glad to see someone doing an Ultimate version of this challenge o.o

Oh and I just realised what got people confused o.o basically, a typo I made because of being tired and distracted.

As for the dual types with 1 type on the Era types list and one type on the Banned types list.... you can('t) use those.

^Added the correction.

I like the idea of an early 1900's option, like that Roaring 20s suggestion, but I don't fully get some of the choices in the pitch. For example, what does Dragon type have to do with that time period? That seems more like a ban list to me. And, considering the high mobster activity at the time, I would think that Dark should be an allowed type, not a banned one. Psychic kind of fits in, but I also don't quite get Ice. I certainly think it's a wonderful idea, but imo it needs some tweaking.

EDIT: Maybe instead of the Roaring 20s, it could be the Industrial Revolution, so it can fit more than a 10 year span?

Well, I'm open to all sorts of suggestions & stuff regarding new Eras. So feel free to drop me a VM & stuff. For example, the Post-Apocalyptic Scenario was all LiquidRage's idea. He PMed me and I loved it. And the Medieval Era was built in the trade corner IRC xD
So yeah, just VM me and share your thoughts and we'll work something out o.o

Ice and Dragon because to me, they always seemed quite extravagant types, and the era is dripping with opulence. Dark is banned because the 20s were supposed to be a happy period, and dark is kind of the opposite.

The industrial revolution is a good one. I'd do that.

Update #1
Currently stuck in: Jurrasic Jam
Badges: 0
Team:
Tokay - Treecko - Lv 13
Firmin - Surskit - Lv 7
Xtina - Lotad - Lv 9
Smurfette - Dustox - Lv 10

I'm saving the other two spots for a Lileep and a Numel. I'm enjoying this more than any other challenge because of the thematicness, as opposed to the simplicity of a monotype challenge.

Quick question though - If one of the mandatory requirements clashed with a banned type, what would you do? i.e. on Jurassic Jam, choosing to revive a Shieldon. I feel like the Shieldon would be allowed, because it evidently existed then, even though steel is forbidden. Can we get an official ruling on this please?

Part Two! Hopefully with more progress!


TEAM:

See you tomorrow!

Well, Jurassic Jam is an exception concerning dual-types with one type on the Era Types list and one type on the Banned Types list since you are REQUIRED to revive and use any fossil Pokémon that you obtain in your game.

Took on Claire, Angel dealt with her pretty easily actually. Surprisingly so.
Then we took the league, culminating in a back-forth switching between NeedeSile and Angel against Lance, with NeedeSile taking the non-dragons and Angel taking out the dragonites.
We.
Need to train so much.
To Kanto, I guess?

(Also, I think Raikou is stalking me? It's really weird?)

I love this idea! The 20's were easily my favorite part in history! I wanna start one after I finish the Westward challenge and name my character Gatsby in reference of the novel by Scott Fitzgerald! So exciting! hahaa

you kinda have to use all Era Rules unless there's an (Optional) tag on any of them (like in the Medieval Era)

Welcome to the challenge.

I had to go through the first part of the game using Chikorita, I named the rival in my game 'Dust' simply because in the 1930's the Dust Bowl moved hundreds of farmers west because the living conditions were too harsh. So I figured since I was doing the Westward Era, I'd name him that!

Damn, that first gym was sure a struggle. With just Oujia (Gastly) and no attacks that directly hit the Normal/Flying combo I had to put them asleep just to curse them and wait till the death. We finished the gym and headed south toward Azalea town!

We caught the second member of our team Bogut the Onix! Fighting team rocket right now in the slowpoke well:)

I'm slightly insulted by this. Of course I'm using the Era Rules.

On your sign-up it just seemed that you're only using the Sphinx rule, when you need to use both (Sphinx and Slave) since neither are marked optional.

Update #2

I beat Roxanne and Brawly today. Xtina (Lotad) evolved into Lombre. I used Dustox (with Confusion and Gust) to sweep Brawly.

I caught a Magikarp and am going to use it in lieu of a fire type; Gyarados with Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Ice Beam and Waterfall.

Another question: in Jurassic Jam, can I use the Mauville Game Corner so I can get TMs? I really hope so.
