    thats sad but true about gts xD I usually just put a starter up and pick a pokemon by typing it in, then il sleep on it, by morning I have the pokemon I want. sadly, I dont think many people know you can do that haha. I do have backup favorites for the other regions, il watch to see what the next challenger chooses for a region and change it if need be.

    congrats on being the first to finish :)

    You're right in a sense about X/Y, but some idio-...I mean people value them on the level of legendaries. "I HAEV MUDKIPZ - GIEV MII ZEKROM" or something like that.

    Of course, I can breed Mudkip Eggs. LOL

    I know I used a Treecko in my X challenge (first Champion of the challenge, woot) and won easily, but yeah. If a IV or V challenger, you'll likly be suggesting something else unless that person just happens to have a Mudkip lying around. The guideline is that if it's not catchable, they don't have to try to track it down, and you have to choose something for them that is catchable; that's why, when the challenger after me chose a Gen. V game, I was quick to change to Emolga; I kept it electric and that was that. :) Pikachu isn't necessarily my #1 favourite (it changes), but is one of my top ones, and I just knew it was well covered for the purpose of the challenge. I was ready with the switch. :)

    I see, its pretty easy to get in x-y though. If I remember correctly you can make an egg of a pokemon and use it, so for x-y you can get one off gts and get a egg pretty quickly( I may be wrong but eh, tell me if I am) you're right though, especially since they shut down trading for 4th gen. if a member messages me to change it for there challenge I will, and il ask necrum what he thinks when I get a chance.

    I didnt think about this possibility, thanks

    You might need to use a new favourite for the purposes of the contest. Mudkip cannot be legitimately caught and would really have to be chosen as a starter in a Hoenn game for anyone to really be able to do that as a post-game. Anyone in the later generations cannot use it unless they traded it.

    That's the reason I chose Pikachu. I know it's common in X/Y and in Gen. IV, but I was ready to assign Emolga (which actually was on my first E4 team somewhere, I think in W2) if someone had a Gen. 5 game.
