The Challenge:
The Duo-Species Challenge is a challenge where you use two, and only two Pokemon to complete a game.
Rules:
1. You can only use your two Pokemon you signed up with. You cannot use any other Pokemon under any circumstances, if both of your Pokemon faint, and you have HM Slaves, you must let them faint, not battle at all. NFE Pokemon are allowed to be used, and you can use as many HM slaves as you need.
If one of these apply, you may hack at the beginning at level 5 or lower, or as an egg. (HAs and Egg Moves are allowed, as for IVs, idc)
2. To complete each game, you must: RBGYFRLG - Defeat your Rival as Champion GSCHGSS - Defeat Lance (Kanto and Red are now optional) RSEORAS - Defeat Steven(RSORAS*)/Wallace(E) DPPt - Defeat Cynthia BWB2W2 - Defeat Ghetsis(BW)/Iris(B2W2) XY - Defeat Diantha
3. Legendaries are not recommended, as they will take away the challenge, but you absolutely can if you want.
4. Pokemon-Amie, Mega-Evolution, and Z-Crystals are banned. Super Training is allowed.
5. You can sign-up for Single, Ultimate, or Rule-Free. Single is one game, ultimate is one game of each generation, and Rule-Free is no rules, just play however you want.
6. Hacks are allowed, but full hacks are not allowed in Ultimates. Enhanced Hacks (eg. Blaze Black, Sacred Gold) however, are allowed in Ultimates.
7. Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hacking/Trading Rules: (These are a must read)
Spoiler:
You may trade in one Mega Stone if none of your Pokemon have stones available pre-E4. If even one of your Pokemon have a Mega Stone available pre-E4, you can not trade any in.
Any and all hacking and trading is forbidden, except in these cases:*
1. (Pokemon) You are using a Pokemon not available before the first badge.
2. (Pokemon) You are using a Pokemon not in the Regional Pokedex or Version Exclusive (i.e. Shiftry in AS or Ledian in HG).
3. (Item) Any item needed to evolve that isn't available pre-E4.
3a. If you need a stone that is only available pre-E4 via Pick-Up, you can hack it in.
4. Pokemon evolves by trading but you can't trade, then you can evolve via hacking. You can do it any time that you could do it legitimately in-game. For example, you cannot not hack to evolve Onix to Steelix until you legitimately obtain a Metal Coat in-game.
If any of these apply, you may hack at the beginning at level 5 or lower, or as an egg. (HAs and Egg Moves are allowed, as for IVs, idc)
You CAN hack your Pokemon to be shiny, since it is purely visuals, but obviously, do not offer these in the trade corner as they are still not legit.
*This seems to be an issue that was unclear in the Duo-Species challenge, and it also applies here.
You can NOT trade in a Pokemon already evolved, even if you have to wait until right before the E4 to evolve, then wait, no hacking/trading. If you can't evolve at all pre-E4, then too bad.

Added. :)
-------------------------------------------------------
I have an update of my own.
I started FireRed, hacked Houndour as my starter, and hacked Shuppet on Route 1, I also use a code to get the National Dex so they can evolve.
So far I've beaten Brock and that's it.
My Team right now:
Shuppet Lv.14
- Knock Off, Screech, Night Shade
Update:.
A few things:
1) I cannot find White 2
2) The action replay has now broken I'd just entered the codes in too...
3) My computer is broken.
This pretty much means that I cannot do any congestion that require changing the games 'mechanics (hacking etc.) Plus, my computer is far from being fixed meaning I can't play an emulated games. I'm afraid I'm going to have to withdraw my form :`(
I planned that playthrough for some time even before this challenge appeared and since this challenge looks identical to what I'm gonna do in Alpha Sapphire, here is my signup:
Username: Kostucha
Version: Alpha Sapphire
Single/Ultimate?: Single for now, may do Ultimate later
Pokemon: Beedrill, Butterfree
Just got the game, can't wait to start :D
Edit:
Finished the challenge ^^
The beggining and Roxanne battle were quite harsh, since both Beedrill and Butterfree, when I got to her, stopped obeying me (as I couldn't get them there in eggs, had to hatch them earlier). I had to rely only on luck D:. After that I didn't have any bigger problems, however Steven's Armaldo was quite a big problem. Final team:
Beedrill the Maja lv. 75
-Thief
-Brick Break
-X-scissor
-Poison Jab
------------------------------------------------------------
First off, I decided to change my Claydol/Swalot Hoenn game from Emerald to Alpha Sapphire.
And I finally finished Emerald with Houndoom and Banette.
Question: Is PokeSweet Version allowed? I know you said only hacks like BlazeBlack but this game is basically Kanto, the storyline is only alightly different, but it's mostly nade up of Double battles so I thought this would be worth it. :3
If yes:

I'm gonna go ahead and do Scizor and Pinsir in X, trading both in right before Viola.
And I'll trade in their Mega Stones as soon as I get the Mega Ring.
And I finally finished my Houndoom/Banette ultimate by completing Black 2.

So I picked up the game today. Was busy with a different challenge
Long Update:
Spoiler:
Chose female character(Leaf) and named self Flare. Named my rival Lee.
Met my rivals Lee, who was sleepingI was not stalking him, Mark who looks like Brendan/Ruby and Katia who's overworld looks like May/Sapph but battle sprite says otherwise.
Hurray for earlier Map and Runnning Shoes!!
I chose Browniesaur and dubbed him Wafer. Cause wafers are sweet.
Easily beat Mark's Strawander and Katia's Squirtpie. Felt bad for Lee but beat his Popsichu nonetheless.
Caught a Meowffin in Route 1, named her Nilla. She's a Vanilla type and I have Wafer so why not. :D
Trained up and found all 5 guys in the forest.
Beat Team Sour Admin Jerk in Pudding City Museum.
Wafer evolved into Chocosaur after the battle with the Gym Trainer.
Beat Beryl with ease.
Restocked on Antidotes, Potions and 2 Escape Ropes(a must in Pewter so....).
Trained along the way to the battle contest near Candy Mines.
Nilla learned Pay Day and evolved. X3
A pokemon faints for what may be the first time during this run. I run quickly to the PokeCenter to heal Wafer.
We beat the battle contest and continue on to the Candy Mines where we learn of Team Sour's arrival.....
Short Update:
Name Flare
Rivals Lee, Mark, Katia
Team:
Wafer Level 24
Chocosaur M
Clear Body
Jolly
Cherry/Chocolate Type
Fudge Slap, Hunger Dust, Licor-Whip, Cherry Seed

I just found one of my (many) planning documents I have for challenges, and apparently I made quite a few duo-species layouts a while back, so I'm just gonna go ahead and sign-up.
Username: Buzz Buzz Version: Fire Red Single/Ultimate?: Single (for now) Pokémon: Furret/Linoone
I'll be changing one of the starters to Sentret and then a code to get a Zigzagoon on the first route, if that's alright.
