  • I have couple of questions about this challenge.
    1) Do we have to take pictures/proof of our progress trough game and post them as separate thread or something? Or do we just have to take picture of hall of fame?
    2)If we choose the ultimate version of this challenge do we have to play multiple games from same gen that go in pair (ex. Red and Blue) or just the ones that go in separate (ex Fr-Sapphire)

    1) Either post pictures as you progress on this thread or the hall of fame picture will suffice. It's your choice.
    2) "Ultimate Runs for this challenge will only require the first 5 Gens and will require a re-entry form for each game." One per generation. I'd prefer since you're doing Blue you don't do FR/LG however, but I won't stop you.
    Hope I answered your questions well enough and have fun on your challenge! :)

  • I think this challenge would be a little more interesting if I just make some minor changes to the plot since my "mom" apparently changes every game and my dad is absent, I will just say that he is some kind of multi billionaire that travels all over the world and is a bit of a womanizer (if you know what I mean) and always gets re-married. Since he is so busy with his job, he is never around region I'm playing in ( very convenient if you ask me :P).The only problem is Norman... :/ I'll have to think of something. By the way thanks to Playful_Weasel for giving me an awesome team :D and ShadeDraco for answering some of my questions I really appreciate it! The challenge starts NOW! :D 8.23Pm UTC 16th of September 2014.

    Day 1 16 of September 2014


    Yay, we are finally starting our adventure! I'm so excited! :D

    Now we get to name ourselves! I named myself Shanay, because for some reason Shannaynay won't fit D:

    Since we are the Arceus of our universe, we get to name the jerkface that is going to be extreme D to us this entire challenge, well I'm immature and that is why i think Deekdo name is fitting :P

    Pro tip! ALWAYS GET THAT FREE POTION #infreestuffwetrust

    Seems like our rival want's to fight us! BRING IT ON!

    Hah, that was easy! Btw, I nicknamed my bulbasaur bloomleaf! :D
    ]
    I found my way trough the forest, after beating the game so much times it seems to loose in difficulty :P

    This just might be and my weirdness, but I was always wondering WHY THE HELL IS BROCK SHIRTLESS IN THIS GAME! I MEAN COME ON PEOPLE!

    "For a moment I thought I've broken a sweat!"
    That was like sooo easy! I guess that Brock * puts on sunglasses * as hard as his rock-type pokemon! ~YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~

    After beating Brock, I went to the pokemart to stock up on potions and pokeballs and at the end I HAD 1 POKEDOLLAR LEFT! What kid of sorcery is this?

    Our beautiful Bloomleaf evolved! THEY GROW UP SO FAST! It feels like it was just 1 hour ago I got it and it was a little bulbasaur! Oh wait IT WAS 1 HOUR AGO! * Ba dum tsssss*

    On my way to the MtMoon! FUN FACT: I encoutered exactly 23 zubats while in there........

    All praise our lord and savior Helix!

    After exiting the Mt Zubat, the first route I found had my second teamate THE SANDSHREW! I have to say It's pretty adorable in this game!

    I nicknamed it Rammus, because Rammus is awesome! :P #OK

    Well that is just about it, I think I'll call it a day! Hope you liked it NEXT UPDATE COMING TOMORROW
    PS: There won't be any pictures yet attached to the post since I didn't post 15 replies yet.....
    I recently joined the PokeCommunity :) However I still have proof of me doing all of that stuff on my imgur BUT I can't post links soooo yea it's kinda annoying.

    I'll try and give you a working team, have not played FR in so long
    Cloyster - Raticate - Primeape

    I'll try, I haven't finished my own Soul Silver game, I don't have lots of experience with Pokemon availability in S.S. - I don't know much about stats (if you need a reroll because stat too high, let me know, I'll try to search for another)
    Typhlosion - Parasect - Hypno

    Suggesting teams took longer than expected....
    Next Update! Earned 2nd Badge - & - Sylveon!

    Last time, I saved in Santalune City (Ciudad Novarte) after earning the badge. At the moment I'm on Route 10, where I caught a male Eevee & evolved it to Sylveon.
    Along the way battled trainers (as I want to battle every trainer possible before leaving the area), caught lots of Pokemon (I don't run away from wild Pokemon battles, either catch the ones I don't have, or faint them - no ending wild battle moves either), obtained a few items, and even lost once to the gym leader.


    On this Journey: Rt. 4 - Lumiose City - Rt 5 - Camphrier Town - Rt 6 - Parfume Palace - Rt 7 - Ambrette Town - Rt 9 - Glittering Cave - make my way back to Rt 8 - Cyllage City - & Rt 10
    Spoiler:



    TEAM - up to Route 10, after making Eevee evolve to Sylveon:

    Fletchinder
    Spoiler:


    shiny Meowstic
    Spoiler:


    shiny Mienfoo
    Spoiler:


    Sylveon
    Spoiler:


    Wartortle

    Zangoose

    With the images, you can also see the rest of the their stats

    Typhlosion - Parasect - Hypno

    I want to thank you for taking your time and suggesting me a team :). However Tuphlosion has a total stats of 534 and my limit is 520, so if you could please suggest one pokemon in replacement of Tuphlosion! :) Or should i just keep it at quilawa stage for the rest of my journey?
