Swap Meet Challenge

[tajaros]

No, how could this be like this...

We could send the .sav files ourselves you know?

Well, I'm still doing the In game challenge now for FireRed gonna continue my game...

Oh and -ty- and I already swap files...

[Sydian]

I suppose you could have, but it would just be easier for everyone to do the in-game version. I'm terribly sorry, guys. I really am. :/ Maybe we can have this event another time in the Challenge forum sometime next year. In the summer. lol

For those of you that are curious, the next challenge event is going to start on October 1st. It's a sports related challenge. It was meant for September, but I was away for...well, a football game haha. I was also sick. So I decided to put it off til October. How the sports fit in will remain a secret, but I feel really bad about this event, so I thought I should at least tell you what the event is sort of about. I hope you will all participate. You'll have a month for it, unlike this one. :P

Small update for me:

Player: Sydian
Game: Sapphire
Badges: 2


Nica / Grovyle (f) lv. 22 @ Miracle Seed
Absorb, Pursuit, Quick Attack, Fury Cutter


MAKIT / Makuhita (m) lv. 17 @ Quick Claw
Rock Tomb, Sand-Attack, Vital Throw, Arm Thrust
OT: ELYSSA

For my two trades from another game, I'll be using an Octillery and Mr. Mime that are on my storage Emerald cart. I just kinda looked through all my boxes for something new and interesting, and those two stood out to me. I'll keep them in my box till the appropriate time to use them. They're levels 34 and 42 respectively.

I partially blame myself for this, since I'm going so slowly with mine. I'm only up to the first badge in my game.
But it would be good if we could continue this post-PCX, I'm having fun with it at least, even if I haven't started trading yet haha.

Also one more thing. In the rules is said something about needing your full team before the third badge, does that mean we're allowed to change Pokemon, say I want a Remoraid which I can't get until later, and I can swap that out with one of my existing Pokemon which belong to me?

[Sydian]

This is extended to October 5th, which is post-GTX really, and considering B2W2 is released in October and there's an event that month, that's enough extension. If you don't finish and want to, feel free to keep doing the challenge post-GTX and maybe blog your team.

Anyway, emulator and Wi-Fi trading challenges are eliminated, so you'll have to change over to in-game version rules. In-game rules are in-game trades and gift only and a max of 2 Pokemon traded from a friend or another cart you have. So no, going and catching a Remoraid won't work. You can however trade one from another game or have someone else trade you one.

It's not your fault, btw. It's just GT being at a busy time of the year for all of us and the time constraints and small amount of sign ups. Nothing to do with how slow you're playing, so if anyone's to blame for this, it's me. Don't blame yourself. :)

For my challenge
I came back my 5th gym to get Zoroa and after training a while, It is now a level 60 zoroark

[Sydian]

Level 60 at 5th gym? @_@ Are you soloing? I mean...damn. XD I'm about to be way overlevel for Wattson myself. Nica is 27 and MAKIT is 25 (I don't want it to go too far because it'll start disobeying soon and I need him for Flannery but idk...arrrgh) and we haven't even tackled all the trainers in the Mauville vincity. And then let's remember that there are cycling road trainers too. UGH. At least I can start using my Octillery after I beat Flannery. Tired of Grovyle and Hariyama already. XD

[johnny18]

it is a little bit easy to train in Black 2 since there are some breeders you can battle again and again like forever. That's why I can get the Zoroark level up so easily + I get lucky egg to help

[Sydian]

You still need to have 2 in-game trade Pokemon on your team, just remember that.

[johnny18]

you just remind me
Need to do some trades but later

[Sydian]

You should go get a Cottonee and trade it for the Petilil! n___n I think that trade is in Castelia City in B2...if not, Route 4. Fairly positive it's in that area, lol. And then I can't remember if they changed the other trades in the game from BW.

[11wildy]

I will still do the challenge, but I will take any time i need for it now. And I will probably join the sports event as well! No blame on you Syd, you did the best you could.

okay, but it will be my HM slave lol

[Sydian]

No, it needs to be a team member, not an HM slave. This challenge isn't meant to be soloed.

[11wildy]

What about my second planned trade to use, it's found late in the game, so do I HAVE to use Machop or so, or just keep it in the team until I reach the point?

[jdthebud]

Well, I guess I will try the in-game version, then.

You don't have to, just on your final team, you need to have the one you plan on having.
