A Different Sort of Challenge
Alright, not sure if this is the right forum(I think it is) but I have a challenge for you guys. This challenge requires a wi-fi connection, as I will provide the pokemon for it, and should be done on a completed cartridge with the national dex unlocked. It's an ongoing sort of thing, with various tasks that must be done with the pokemon I will give you. There are prizes for completing each task, and they include graphic awards(given in addition to most prizes), pokemon, and items. How it'll work is I'll give you a freshly hatched pokemon to use as your starter. You won't get to choose your starter exactly, but you'll give me some information about your pokemon preferences and I'll choose your starter based on that info. When you're given your starter you'll start working on the objective list below. The objectives range from training or catching pokemon, to breeding, to written pokemon quizzes(oh noz!) and more. Every few tasks you'll have to battle me, posing as a gym leader. =P Like all gym leaders, you'll get a badge graphic to display in your signature or the like and a TM move(in the form of a male pokemon that knows it, as i don't clone). However, unlike all gym leaders, I have no skill with pokemon. It's more a matter of seeing how you're doing with your pokemon. All battles will be held at the pokemon's actual level.
I was originally going to try and make a hack with this kind of idea, but I can't hack, so I decided to use what already is to do it. :) Please be honest here, if I find that you cheated you will be banned from this contest and any future ones I should hold. You can use outside resources(like the internet) for quizzes, but not all the answers can be found online. Some require thinking. =P Also, when battling gyms, you can use only your starter and pokemon you've recieved from me, or pokemon you've caught as objectives. Updates on what you've been up to with the challenge are encouraged. When trading with me for your prizes, always use a weak/unwanted pokemon, because I usually will. Unless you want to be really nice. ;) Here's an abbreviated list of potential starters(starters aren't limited to these guys) Ponyta Vulpix Taillow Skitty Torkoal Seviper Zangoose And here is your task list(prizes and tasks are only listed up to ten. the rests will be revealed to those who take the challenge because some vary by starter) #. Task *Prize* 1. Train starter to at least level 15 *Starly w/ Common Berry* 2. Battle Gym Leader #1 - Fire Types *Badge + TM pokemon* 3. Quiz - Your Starter *Graphic + TM Pokemon* 4. Train Starter to at least level 25 *Starly + Type-Specific Item(ex. Magnet)* 5. Battle Gym Leader #2 - Flying Types *Badge + TM Pokemon* 6. Catch a Buizel *Graphic + Starly w/ Common Berry* 7. Train Buizel to at least level 25 *Mystery Egg* 8. Battle Gym Leader #3 - Double Battle *Badge + TM Pokemon* 9. Train Starter to at least level 40 *Graphic + Bred Pokemon w/ Stat-Boosting Nutrient(ex. Calcium)* 10. Quiz - Breeding *Graphic + Hoenn Starter* 11. ? 12. ? 13. ? 14. ? 15. ? 16. ? 17. ? 18. ? 19. ? 20. ? 21. Gym Leader #8 - ? *Surprise Gift* Once you've finished all twenty-one tasks, you are dubbed a Starryday Challenge Completer and get the final reward. If this goes well, I'll host more challenges. If it doesn't... I may host more challenges anyway. =P Okay, so if you are interested in participating in the challenge, just fill out the form below and reply to this thread. =) I'll PM you with your starter's basic information, and you can choose to nickname it or whatnot, and I'll send it over. Entry fee for this challenge is a berry, to be given to me when I give you your starter. Because I need to make poffins. 'Specially spicy and dry poffins. Sign-Up Form Username: Friend Code: Preffered Level of Difficulty: (would you like to have an easy starter or a more challenging starter?) Your Strengths: (related to the pokemon games. are you good at contests, breeding, etc?) Weaknesses: (related to the pokemon games. maybe you can't stand hatching eggs or you're bad at battling like me?) Favorite Pokemon: Favorite Type of Pokemon: Pick a Stat: (HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed) Pick a Color: Once you have your starter you can start working on the challenges. After you defeat me for the 2nd time(task #5), I'll give you the full list of objectives and prizes. You can complete more than one task at once, but they must still be done in order(for example, you can catch a Buizel and train it to level 25 all in one shot). The only exception is training your starter. You may train it to any level, but you can only recieve the prizes for training when you get to that point in your objectives list. Hope you all like this challenge, it's obviously my first, so any feedback is welcomed. Signups Closed |

edit: Jlizard - oops! yes I am. so sorry. i have like 5 things going on right now. major multitasking = starry forgets stuff... a lot of stuff. I assigned you to Ringmaster, correct? PM me, as I'll get that quickly. ;) Although you did PM me already, didn't you? Ahhh I'm very mixed up. lol |
Can I say, train my starter all the way to lvl 25 before battling you?
|
Yep you can, you just won't get the reward for it until you reach that objective.

This is very interesting, but you might want to approve this with Color Me Evil/Horizon.

Will do, symphony, but unfortunately signups are closed because I have my hands full with the current participants. I made a note in the thread but not on the main post, so I'm sorry for not being clear with it. I'll hopefully be running more contests once this one's over though, so keep an eye out for them.

Hm... Probably a Girafarig or a Seviper, from what I have available. More likely Seviper as it doesn't have as good of a moveset. May have bred a Koffing, though, because you don't see many of them.

I could help out if that's what you need. Like a staff member or something.
|
If you want to, then alright. :) I'm running out of pokemon bred with TM moves, though, which is another prime reason I needed to close signups. I need to breed more prizes. I didn't realize this would have so much response. But if you want to breed a Seviper, then just let me know when you're ready for each gym battle, that works.
rellyms - Well actually I'm considering starting up a forum community where people could interact via wi-fi, and do challenges like this(along with other various things. for example, once a person gets to a certain point on the task list, they can get a career, such as a breeder, shopkeeper or a coordinator). It'd be a large project, though, that would require more than just me working on it. If you're interested in helping out with it, PM me. ;) And as for this challenge, if you wanted to breed some pokemon that know TM moves, that'd be a big help as well. |

Okay, that works. Most of the prizes are just small things like graphics, bred pokemon and the like. If you want to do it though, you can go ahead and breed yourself a Seviper and let me know when you're ready for the first gym battle.
|
I could also help with prizes it's no problem with me.
|
If you could, that'd be great. Just PM me when you have some bred(I need any sort of pokemon born with TM moves), and we can work something out. =)
