    Try sticking with three pokemon, only using three potions per battle(one per pokemon), only use pokeballs(no great/ultra/master balls), don't use your starter. Those are just some rules that I came up with. Try coming up with something yourself if no one else replies.
    Good luck.

    Trust me, not using your starter doesn't add very much challenge to the game. By the time I defeat the League Champion in any given game, my starter is usually sitting in my box at level 8.

    A great challenge would be to challenge gym leaders only with pokemon that are weak against the gym leader's type. (IE. using Grass type against Falkner)

    I just did a 1 pokemon run. I hacked the red rom to make the starter Staryu. I only fought with that staryu from level 5. Now its a 100 Starmie and has pwned the elite 4 50+ times. That was a fun challenge :]

    Using "Fixed Moveset" Pokemon. Pokemon that can only learn 4 or less moves, which include:

    -Caterpie (Tackle, Stringshot)
    Higher Attack and Speed than Metapod

    -Metapod (Tackle, Stringshot, Harden)
    Higher HP, Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense than Caterpie

    -Weedle (Poison Sting, Stringshot)
    Higher Attack and Speed than Kakuna

    -Kakuna (Poison Sting, Stringshot, Harden)
    Higher HP, Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense than Weedle

    -Magikarp (Splash, Tackle, Flail)
    Has High Speed, but nothing else, really.

    -Ditto (Transform)
    Transform into Stronger Opponents

    -Unown (Hidden Power)
    Can help cover other types with Hidden Power that the others can't.

    -Wobbuffet(Destiny Bond, Counter, Safeguard, Mirror Coat)
    It's not Uber in GSC, due to the lack of Encore and Shadow Tag. But it's worth a try.

    Delibird and Smeargle could be used, to, due to lack of Variety of Level-Up Moves(Although Smeargle, with its one Level-Up Move, can lean a large variety of moves).

    Do a "First Six" Challenge. The first six Pokemon in the wild you run into become your team (could be all Rattata and Pidgey, but it could be Rattata, Pidgey, Mankey, Pikachu, Weedle and Caterpie d:) depending on the game you play.

    Ironically, that's how my brother plays every pokemon game...his recent Diamond game included a Bibarel and a Kricketune in his final team. XD

    Anyways, a fun challenge, for me at least, for Red/Blue involves what madhatta317 suggested, hack the game and change your starter to any of the original 151 pokemon...of course, using a ROM makes any damage from using gameshark codes sustained a bit less permanent.

  • You could do a disadvantage challenge. When you do the gym challenges, you use pokemon that do low damage to the leader or E4's pokemon (ie charmander vs onix)
