Welcome to The Challenge
And a special welcome to you. The humble reader.
I am your host, and your fellow competitor.
Let's get on with it. Shall we?
And a special welcome to you. The humble reader.
I am your host, and your fellow competitor.
Let's get on with it. Shall we?
Although this wasn't originally my idea, I've seen it several places before, where challengers in Pokemon games play each other contemporaneously in order to see who completes the objective first. So, after observing and being part of a couple of these before, I thought "Hell, why not make one myself?" And here we are.
What is the Challenge you ask?
- The Challenge is an organized competition between you, the reader, and your fellow combatants. Objective being, to defeat Alder and claim the title of Pokemon Champion. However, this comes with a twist, as I decide the rules and regulations of each round of the challenge.
This challenge is for Black and White. I would prefer it if you played on an emulator, because there will be some rewards that require hacking, but if you can't/refuse, I will not mind.
FOR THIS ROUND THE CHALLENGE TYPE WILL BE: RANDOM POKEMON CHALLENGE
-Using a generator, I will select a team of 4 Pokemon that will be assigned to you. In addition, you will be allowed to select one Pokemon of your choice to add to your team, making it a total of 5 Pokemon per team!
-All of the teams will be 100% random, so don't complain if you hate the team you received. There may/may not be a chance to redeem that later, if you play your cards right.
-Your objective is to defeat Alder and capture Kyurem.
Generic Rules and Blah Blah Stuff:
1) The #1 rule of all challenges - Have fun. This challenge is not meant for you to start raging like a madman, so please, have fun. Don't take negative consequences of random events as if they were personal.And don't yell at me for making sarcastic remarks. I'm not a bad guy, honest >_>
2) No hacking or cheating unless instructed to. I will be lenient towards hacking for evolutionary items/evolutions in general, but don't make it so that you get an unfair advantage. All Pokemon hacked in must be at Level 5, unless for evolutionary purposes.
3) Your time each challenge day is limited to 1 hour. This of course is in terms of game time. Make sure that cheats that affect game time like "autorun" or "battle delay off" are not activated.They shouldn't be anyway, if you were adhering to Rule 2, but I jdthebud thought I'd make this abundantly clear.
4) Be vigilant. As the GM, I will make certain things happen/stop happening, so be wary. Check the day's events to see if any rules/regulations take place/are lifted.
5) Be active. I can't stress this enough. It gets boring if just 1 person is left playing after awhile.
6) You can only use the Pokemon assigned to you for important battles and against trainers. However, you may train and use other Pokemon, as long as they only face Wild Pokemon.
7) All Pokemon must be within 4 Levels of each other. You wouldn't want one Pokemon to live in the limelight, now wouldn't you?
8) Just because you finish first, it doesn't guarantee a win. Remember, winning is not only about finishing first, but also about who has the most points.
9)Challenge time and real time are not concurrent. A challenge day may last for a period of two to three real time days.
