    2. No Legendary Pokemon can be used.
    3. Similarly, the Uber tier is banned.
    4. You can use a Pokemon that's NOT in your selected tier ONLY if it evolves into a Pokemon that IS in your selected tier.
    5. You may hack to get ONE Pokemon that's in your tier.
    6. You must have at least one Pokemon that's in your tier when you reach the third gym (Vermilion/Goldenrod/Mauville/Veilstone/Hearthome/Castelia)
    7. The challenge ends when you defeat the Pokemon League (Rd/Gn/Be/Y/Rb/Sp/FR/LG/D/P/Pt/Bk/W). Red (Gd/Sv/C/HG/SS), or Steven (E)
    8. Have Fun!

    Ultimate?: I probably would if I could, but apparently back in the first two generations, nothing was bad enough to be NU. Or there weren't enough choices, one of the two.

    I started the challenge today and with the help of super speed by the VBA emulator, I have already beaten Misty with just Pidgeotto. I solo'ed the first quarter of the game, beating Brock with Pidgeotto at Level 18 and beating Misty with Pidgeotto at Level 25.

    The Tier Challenge

    Pidgeotto Lv. 25 @ N/A
    - Gust
    - Sand-Attack
    - Quick Attack
    - Whirlwind
    / Only Pokemon at this point. It has been a truck so far, and I beat Misty in the first try. Moveset should change drastically though, as I am hoping for Double-Edge, Hyper Beam, Mimic, and Mirror Move.

    Nothing too interesting, just caught an Abra that I can eventually trade for the Mr. Mime and beat Lt. Surge.

    The Tier Challenge

    Pidgeotto Lv. 34 @ N/A
    - Wing Attack
    - Sand-Attack
    - Quick Attack
    - Whirlwind
    / About to evolve already. Wow.
