anyone happen to remember the first challenge they ever did? long before i was ever on pc when i was just a wee syd, i did a lot of monotypes or other things to restrict myself in the game. sometimes did duo-types, too. i had a team of only water and normal types in frlg at one point. i did nfe challenges too. ofc back then i didn't call them challenges per se, i just thought to myself oh what if i beat ruby only using steel types or grass types. and i would plot out my teams and go for it. i think i also did like. a no attack challenge? like i beat the game where everyone just used status moves...i had way too much time on my hands as a kid. and too much masochistic curiosity. like...why would i ever want to play the game using status only moves...like dude wyd lol. also no purification challenges in colosseum and gale of darkness.........hoo boy.
the first challenge i made here on pc was before there was a dedicated challenge area lol. i made it in the dppt forum bc it was just for, you guessed it, dppt. it was something weird like. the mono gen/type duo challenge. you had to pick two pokemon of the same type from the same generation and beat dppt with them. i think there were other rando restrictions like only using pokeballs too lol. sometimes i think about remaking it just for nostalgia's sake.
so yeah what were y'alls first takes on challenges? whether it was here on pc or just on your own time, what got you into it?
