Keep them Cute and Tiny!
Pokemon get stronger when they evolve, but I'm sure there are many evolution lines you prefer the first form of. This challenge is meant to capitalize on that, which means your whole team of Pokemon must remain in their first evolutionary form the whole game. It may be super difficult, so the requirements here are a little more lenient than other challenges. Here are the key rules of this challenge.
Those are the main rules. The following are some less important additional rules.
Obtainable Items:
Polkadot Bow (Trade Jigglypuff)
TM 09 (Trade Abra)
Light Ball (Trade Pikachu from Pokemon Yellow)
Brightpowder (Trade Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, or Mewtwo)
End of the Challenge Ribbons
Once you reach the end of the challenge by obtaining the 8 badges of your region, you have a few options on what to do next. Depending on how you complete the challenge, you will obtain different ribbons next to your name in the Champions List below.
Completed the Challenge After the 8th Badge: Effort Ribbon:
"You put in a solid effort and completed the challenge! Your Pokemon have a lot of respect for you."

You defeated the Elite Four, but you had to evolve your Pokemon in order to do it. You're a little conflicted about your Victory, but your Pokemon seem to be happy enough. You decide not to go to Mt. Silver, or refight the Elite Four. Your challenge ends here.

About Sign Up Sheets
To encourage people to stick with a game the whole way, Ultimate challenges are not an option here. This challenge encourages you to pick your favourite Pokemon game, and go all out on it. You will of course be credited for each game you complete, but there will be no Ultimate List. If you want to sign up for multiple games, you'll have to do multiple sign ups. With that said, here is the sign up form.
Username:
Game of Choice:
One does not have to decide which Ribbon to go for at the start of the game, so sign ups only require your username and game. The challenge ends after the 8th badge, and at that point you can decide if you want to continue or not. So long as you have your save file, you always have the option of going back to it and aiming for a higher Ribbon. The only case where a Ribbon is permanent is if you choose to evolve for the Elite 4 and get the Winning Medal. Should you ever decide to go back to a game you won the Winning Ribbon on, you'd have to start the game from scratch.

Sorry for the long read, and I hope you enjoy! I hope to see a lot of challengers take part, so let's get this going!
Pokemon get stronger when they evolve, but I'm sure there are many evolution lines you prefer the first form of. This challenge is meant to capitalize on that, which means your whole team of Pokemon must remain in their first evolutionary form the whole game. It may be super difficult, so the requirements here are a little more lenient than other challenges. Here are the key rules of this challenge.
- All of the Pokemon on your team must be able to evolve at least once in the game you are playing.
- All Pokemon on your team must remain in their earliest form.
- Trading is banned in any format. With no need to evolve Pokemon via trading, there should be no need to trade.
- If you "accidentally" evolve a Pokemon, there are no second chances. Either shut the game off and go to your last save point, or Deposit the Pokemon until the end of the challenge.
- Rom Hacks are permitted, though I would still encourage you to play the originals ;)
- You must have at least 3 Viable Party Members by the 8th badge
- HM Slaves are allowed
- The challenge is considered completed when you obtain the 8th badge of any region. (More details later in the post about the Elite 4)
Those are the main rules. The following are some less important additional rules.
- Baby Pokemon Exceptions: In every generation, Pikachu, Clefairy, Jigglypuff, and Marill are all permitted as party members instead of their baby counterparts, even if you have to evolve the baby version into them. You are of course able to use their baby version if you prefer.
- Scyther Exception: Scyther has a total base stat of 500, and is ridiculously powerful for this type of challenge. In all generations, Scyther is banned.
- Gen 6 Silliness is Permitted: Given how high damaging Pokemon becomes by Generation 6, you are freely permitted to use EXP. Share and Pokemon Amie to give you some much needed bonuses.
- Mega Evolution Silliness: Pokemon with Mega Evolutions are not considered proper evolutions for this challenge, meaning you are not permitted to take Pinsir, Mawile, or other such Pokemon that have no proper evolution.
- Pokewalker/Dream Radar: Pokemon obtained via the Pokewalker or Dream Radar are permitted so long as they meet all the other requirements of the challenge.
- Time Capsule Item Acquisition: In Gold/Silver/Crystal, certain Time Capsule trades are permitted to obtain items you otherwise cannot obtain in the game. The following items are permitted to be obtained via trade, but only once each. The Pokemon received in the trade cannot be used on your team, or for breeding
- Breeding Rules: Pokemon breeding is 100% okay in this challenge. If you want to breed for Smoochum, Munchlax, or any other baby Pokemon, you're totally welcome to do so.
- About Egg Moves: Egg moves make Pokemon more useful sometimes, and I welcome people to take advantage of it. You are allowed to capture any Pokemon in your game for the sake of breeding egg moves, but if they aren't first form Pokemon, you can only train those Pokemon in the wild. So if you wanted a Tototdile with Ancientpower, you would be allowed to capture a Corsola and level it up ONLY with random encounters until it learns AncientPower. You may not use the Corsola (or whichever pokemon in your case) in any form of trainer battle.
Obtainable Items:
Polkadot Bow (Trade Jigglypuff)
TM 09 (Trade Abra)
Light Ball (Trade Pikachu from Pokemon Yellow)
Brightpowder (Trade Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, or Mewtwo)
