  • Hello! This is the Three Musketeers Challenge! The rules aren't extremely complicated, so here they are:
    • You may only use 3 Pokemon.
    • You may not use HM slaves.
    • You may not switch out Pokemon in your team after you have your 3 Pokemon.
    • You must catch your 3 Pokemon in the first 5 routes of the region.
    • Your Pokemon must not share any types, even with double-types.
    • You may use HM slaves if a HM is required to complete the story that none of your Pokemon can learn.
    • You may choose not to use your starter Pokemon.
    • You must defeat certain trainers to win, listed below.
    Trainers needed to defeat for completion:
    Gen I-IV - Champion
    Pokemon Black and White - Ghetsis
    Pokemon Black and White 2 - Iris
    Gen VI - Emma/Essentia (Seventh Battle)
    I will also be doing this challenge with Pokemon Platinum, sorry for the delay I have to get my good Pokemon over to Soul Silver so I can reset Platinum.
    Challengers:

  • Can you trade in Pokemon to use? I'd like to use Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle for this challenge, but yeah. You obviously can't get that at the very beginning.

  • Yes, but you have to get them before you leave the first 5 routes. I'll add you two to the challengers.

  • Sorry for being so slow on progress, I don't have much motivation and I'm more focused on Pokemon Universe right now.

  • I thought we weren't allowed to use HM slaves, so my Ludicolo has Surf & Strength, I'll only have room for Ice Beam and Rain Dance but whatever. I should finish it by tonight or tomorrow, I've been helping my friend with an RSPS so I don't really have time.

  • Rule six says you can use them if the pokemon you have cannot learn the needed moves. One would be smart to intentionally get pokemon that can't learn many HMs :D
