The Ones That Got Away Challenge
Got any Pokemon stuck in your PC, waiting for the day they're finally given the chance to shine? Maybe you couldn't catch them before you beat the Elite Four. Maybe you had to choose a different Pokemon because they'd make completing the game easier. Maybe there were just too many awesome Pokemon to choose from, and seeing as you can only have a team of 6, some cool Pokemon that you always wanted to raise just slipped through the net...
Well, here's your chance to finally give them their turn to shine! Everyone must have a stack of Pokemon stashed away somewhere that they never got the chance to use on a team, even if you really wanted to originally. Catch them as normal, trade (at as low a level as possible, preferably as eggs) or hack them to a new game, and complete a playthrough with team members you've never used before! To sign up, use the following form: Name: Game: List of Pokemon that got away: Number required: Any specific requirements: (E.g. certain types for HM purposes. Please try to avoid asking for one specific Pokemon) This challenge is open to all Generations, and Ultimate and Monotype Challenges are also possible if you'd like. So, make your list of Pokemon you always wanted to raise but never got round to it, and let the person below you choose which ones will make up your team! HM Slaves are allowed. The Challenge is completed when you beat the E4 at their highest levels - so if there's an option to rematch the E4 at higher levels, the Challenge doesn't end until you do so. Red, if he's available, is an optional extra. Optional Rule (thanks to Cathar for the inspiration): Spoiler:

When you finish the Challenge, do a quick review of each of your team members - impressions and team awards would be great. As this Challenge is all about finding out the strengths of Pokemon you didn't previously know, it'd be cool to hear your impressions of your newly raised Pokemon! Some example team awards: Spoiler:

Just a quick question, as I'm considering entering this so I have something to do in spare time, but we can enter this even if we've beaten the Elite Four, right? You implied it, but I just wanted to double check. Thanks in advance.

So, in that case...it's just a playthrough only catching our designated team members, right? If so, can I cheat for the 5 team members I can't catch pre-national dex?

Could I actually replace Cloyster with something. I forgot that you cant get a water stone in gold until late in the game. Unless i would be able to hack in water stone.

P.S. Congratulations to our first Champion, jujuju! P.P.S. In case anyone's wondering, I will be doing this Challenge asap but I'm currently working on a HeartGold playthrough so I can catch a Misdreavus to breed and trade across to my Challenge game... One of the very few Pokemon I don't actually have yet! |
Um, yes, I've talked to sammu about implementing a separate challenge in which we train our boxed Pokemon from finished games.
Basically, we put up a list of the Pokemon which we caught for Pokedex during our playthroughs and never got to train them. Now, we don't want to restart the game, we just want to train those little guys. But the sea of junk (no pun intended) is so vast we have no idea if we'll pick a Ratatta or a Sentret. See ? This is where it helps. When sammu updates the thread, I'll post my junk list and have someone select six Pokemon. And, golly, it's a long one... (considering my count of 399 in Pokedex in HG). I've made a thread for it, after all. I'll make a link to this challenge in case some people want to make a full playthrough with unused Pokemon. ^_^ |

Here's the ending (Excuse me for skipping Lt.Surge snap shot) Spoiler:

Congratulations WeightyWillBill, our second Champion! I'll add you to the list now.
Excuse my tardiness but I genuinely will be starting this challenge before much longer. I'm currently undergoing the laborious process of trading all, yes, ALL 400+ of my Pokemon collection from Diamond onto HeartGold, where they will stay for the foreseeable future (probably until I get Black/White). Who the hell made the trading animation SO SLOW?!!? Anyway, once they're all on HG, I'll get breeding, and transfer the eggs over to my SoulSilver game; then I'll do the challenge. |
I think I might do this again.. On Emerald, I think (:
Number of Pokemon: 4 will do. Special Requests: One that could learn surf, please? Another list of the ones that got away (All fully evolved this time [unless I've already used the evo] + 3rd gen pokemon) Spoiler:

I would like to try this

I have finally traded all the Pokemon I need over to my main HG game, and so I've bred my Ones That Got Away team. They're currently waiting on HG at Lv.1 until tomorrow, when I'll start a new SS game and trade them over to start the challenge. So I'll finally get to play through my own challenge! Hurrah!
Anyways, a pre-update of my team: http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/138.png Lv.1, Male, Mild. Somewhat stubborn. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/203.png Lv.1, Female, Sassy. Somewhat of a clown. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/200.png Lv.1, Female, Docile. Somewhat vain. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/127.png Lv.1, Male, Quiet.

(Still no one out of green health.) Team: Spoiler:
|
I finally started my Challenge. I picked Chikorita and beat my rival, and traded my team across from HG, all at Lv.1. I swiftly realised how good it would have been to raise them to Lv.5 before trading them, because grinding an Omanyte is tough when it's Lv.1 and its only attack it Constrict, which does a mighty 1 damage to Pidgeys.
After beating that very first Pidgey though (at the cost of 2 potions and about 15 Constrict PP) Omanyte went straight to Lv.3 though, including a +3 Sp.Atk boost when he hit Lv.3. It was worth it in the end, then. I decided to get each Pokemon to Lv.4 before I started to actually move on. Misdreavus was next, and was just as tricky although for different reasons. The wild Sentret I bumped into used Foresight and Scratch did a lot more damage to Misdreavus than Psywave did to it; I switched in Pinsir and ViceGrip sorted Sentret out, who bizarrely decided to use consecutive Foresights. The next battle, a wild Pidgey, proved easier for Misdreavus despite Psywave's unpredictability, as of course Tackle couldn't hit her. She dinged to Lv.4 and I moved onto Girafarig. Girafarig's displays in levelling up were hopefully not a sign of things to come; despite having Facade (105 base power with STAB) she had pitiful defences and went down to two Scratches from Sentret. With Pinsir's help though she managed to level up in the end - things improved exponentially as soon as she got past Lv.1, to the point that she was two-shotting enemies by Lv.3 - and so did Pinsir in the process, with ease, and his Attack rose dramatically. Dratini was next, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that his moveset included Thunder Wave and Extremespeed. His father was a Dragonair that I'd half-raised on Pokemon Diamond, so he had a bit of a headstart move-wise. Extremespeed caused Sentret some problems even with Dratini only at Lv.1, and with Girafarig's help he levelled up in no time. It's pretty lucky he's rather handy already, because it'll be a long time before he's fully evolved! The last Pokemon I had to raise was Croagunk, and I was about to do so when I realised his only offensive move was Astonish, which wouldn't hit Sentret or Pidgey. Dash and blast. Luckily though, Croagunk's part-Poison typing meant that he'd be invaluable against all the annoying Weedle around here, whom he could hit. Terrific stuff, especially considering that his starting stats were lower than all 5 of my other party members. I was worried he'd be useless right from the off... So we moved on North from Cherrygrove and lo and behold, a Weedle attacked! Croagunk made short work of it and was at Lv.4 in no time, thankfully learning Mud-Slap along the way (he's still screwed against Pidgey though!). Anyways, next time I'll do a proper update with less random waffle; I just wanted to post my (very) early impressions of my team before we got started properly. The team is as below in the spoiler tags at the time of writing. Spoiler:

Obviously, you can evolve them :) Have fun! If non of them can learn Rock Smash or Flash, post here and I'll pick one that can. Shouldn't be a problem though I don't think. |
Congratulations boomerjp, I'll add you to the Champions list right away. ger345, I've added you to Challengers.
BTW, I'm fairly sure Parasect learns both Rock Smash and Flash, so ger345 should be good to go. Update 3: - Cleared out the Goldenrod Underground - Found Whitney dicking about in the Radio Tower. Proceeded to beat up all her Gym Trainer buddies - Beat Whitney herself, primarily using my female team members, Misdreavus and Girafarig - Moved on North from Goldenrod, beating up a Sudowoodo using Omanyte - Reached Ecruteak. Beat up my rival (Manboob) at the Burnt Tower, even though my team were a bit underlevelled at this point - Set the Beasts free, then got grinding (realised Morty's Lv.25 Gengar would destroy me otherwise) - Eventually beat Morty and moved west to Olivine, having picked up Strength and Surf along the way Spoiler:

Update 5:
- Took out the Red Gyarados, incurring £3000 in fines trying to work out how to get the Sludge Bomb TM (turns out you can only get it after clearing the Secret Basement) - Cleared the Secret Basement with Lance... got Sludge Bomb TM - Beat several shades of snot out of Pryce (another Gym I never have trouble with). By the time I challenged him my team were all at least the level of his higest level Pokemon, Piloswine (lv.34), so he was absolutely no challenge. - Headed over to Goldenrod to clear out the Radio Tower and the Underground Base - Misdreavus, Croagunk and Omanyte all evolved in the process - Once Team Rocket were forced out of Johto once and for all, I headed over to Blackthorn City - Once I reached it, I used the Move Obliviator to delete Cut from Pinsir's moveset and Rock Smash from Toxicroak's - Swept through the Blackthorn Gym, although Clair proved a bit tricky because Kingdra was faster than Dragonair and OHKO'd him with Dragon Pulse. Toxicroak sorted him in the end though, spamming Focus Punch when Kingdra bizarrely decided to use Hyper Beam repeatedly - Got a phone call from Professor Elm - some Kimono Girls wanted to take me on. Caught a Poliwag and evolved it to Poliwhirl for HM Slave purposes (wasted a lot of valuable XP that could have been used on my team Pokemon in the process... Grr) - Pinsir took out Umbr and Esp, Omastar took out Flar, Toxicroak finished off Jolt and Mismagius ate up Vapor... nomnomnom - The Kimono Girls decided I was ready to take on Lugia, so after clearing out Whirl Islands, that was exactly what I did... and Mismagius ate him up too! Nomnomnomnomnom - Bumped into Raikou and caught him in my Master Ball to trade to my main HG game later on... why not! - Saved just after reaching Kanto, heading towards Victory Road and the Pokemon League The Team: Spoiler:

Update 6: Not a huge update, this one. All I've done is trudged up Routes 27 and 26, got through Victory Road and reached the Pokemon League. Haven't taken them on yet though, so I won't do long impressions on this update. The Team: Spoiler:

Update 7:
I beat the Elite Four! Will was pretty easy: Pinsir and Mismagius managed to take care of him pretty much between them, with a cameo from Toxicroak who nearly took down Exeggutor in one Poison Jab (he likes a challenge) but then fell to Psychic. Koga was an absolute cinch, as he always is. Girafarig nailed Ariados. Toxicroak then completely obliterated Forretress with Focus Blast, Omastar took down Crobat and Girafarig finished the rest off. Bruno was entertainingly easy; Hitmontop has no moves that could hit Mismagius as she has Levitate, so while Hitmontop was Digging his way to complete futility, Mismagius took the opportunity to set up with numerous Charge Beams. By the time Hitmontop went down, Mismagius' Sp.Atk was so ridiculously high that she OHKOd the rest of Bruno's team! After a timely Max Ether to Charge Beam, I moved onto Karen, who presented more of a problem than she ever has done before - I usually find her quite simple. First of all Toxicroak destroyed Umbreon before he had a chance to Double Team/Confuse. He then took down Murkrow with Nasty Plot/Focus Blast, before Houndoom nailed him and Dragonair AND Pinsir with Nasty Plot/Dark Pulse - some critted. Omastar sorted him out with Surf, before Mismagius swept up Vileplume and Gengar. Lance was tricky, as ever. I led with Mismagius, who took down Gyarados with Charge Beam in one. Aerodactyl was next, and was somehow even faster than Mismagius, OHKOing her with a crit Crunch before Mismagius could Charge Beam again. Omastar finished Aero off with Surf, but not before Thunder Fang dealt him a bit of damage. Dragonite1 was next - the one with Thunder. Out went Omastar for Pinsir. He used Rock Tomb to take down Dragonite's Speed but was paralyzed by Thunder Wave; cue an exchange of missed Dragon Rushes and paralysis/missed Rock Tombs before eventually Pinsir succumbed to Thunder. Omastar was back in, and took Dragonite1 down with Ice Beam. Dragonite2 came in afterwards, leading with Dragon Rush against my Dragonair (OHKO) before being murdered in one by Omastar's Ice Beam. Then came Dragonite3, the really tough one. I switched out Omastar, because I knew if he died my team was screwed. I sent in Girafarig, who sacrificed herself to Full Restore Omastar. I then sent in Toxicroak, who sacrificed most of his health to Max Revive Mismagius, and then went down trying to Poison Jab the dragon. Omastar came back in and OHKOd the bugger with Ice Beam. Charizard was last up, and he used a pathetic Air Slash before being OHKOd by AncientPower. Hurrah! I was Champion, thanks mainly to Mismagius and Omastar. Next up, Kanto! The Team: Spoiler:

The biggest update of my life :D (ITALIAN ROM) Started the game, named myself Haru, chosen Totodile, then did all the initial stuff. Catched Grimer (cheat), and grinded him all the way to Violet City. Then took on Sprout Tower and Violet Gym, not too difficult, thanks to Sludge. http://i53.*.com/dvh7xu.png Went through Route 32, 33 and Union Cave, then in Azalea Town. Found out Team Rocket in Slowpoke Well, and defeated them. Defeated Bugsy and then our beloved Rival (:D). http://i51.*.com/15eebrr.png http://i52.*.com/64mlqc.png Went to Ilex Forest, found a lost Farfetch'd, took him to his trainer and got HM01 Cut in exchange. Then passed through the rest of the forest and Route 34. Arrived in Goldenrod City, made a quick city, then some training in Routes 35, 36 and National Park. After all this stuff, we literally crushed Whitney. Too much, she cried. I wonder why... http://i55.*.com/fk2oht.png On the road to Ecruteak City, we found our new buddy. http://i54.*.com/ayalx3.png Once arrived at the new town, we met Bill, then quickly went on Route 38... two new buddies awaits. http://i55.*.com/15foshs.png http://i56.*.com/t9infk.png After a long grinding of all of them, we met, again, the blameless Rival. http://i56.*.com/o7t7wo.png Then we awakened the Legendary Dogs, then a man called Eusine appears and thanks us for what we did. Wow. Wait! Let's do a quick backtracking. http://i53.*.com/2132igz.png Ok. Straight on from this, a quick healing, then... Morty. http://i51.*.com/4r6xbr.png And the Fog Badge is ours. Now, on Olivine City! A good training for Scyther... Once we arrived, Rival strikes again, but this time he won't fight us. Then we find out that the Gym leader of this city is on the top of the Lighthouse, wondering why. We made it up there, and we found out that the Lighthouse Pokèmon, Amphy. He needs the Secret Potion, findable only in Cianwood City, house of the 5th Gym. Let's go! Once we arrived (Scyther did a very good work in Sea Routes), we got the Secret Potion, then we took on the 5th Gym. But first I've something to do. Back in Olivine, I bought something very very useful, then I took the Secret Potion to Amphy, which is now OK. Jasmine thanks us, then cames back to his Gym. OK, no time to lose! I went to the Pokèmon Center, and after that I took on Chuck very easily. Find out what I bought... http://i56.*.com/dm5oog.png Ok, now I want to explore the beach... WTF? http://i56.*.com/1zq6kj9.png Woah, that was Suicune... Amazing! After that, Eusine shows up, saying he wants to fight us. OK! ... Wow, already done? You suck. Anyway, time to get to Olivine Gym! OH MY GOD. I can't defeat Janine with these Pokèmon... How? OK, I must train Totodile, just for this Gym. Very well! Thanks Feraligatr, you helped us with that ****in Steelix! http://i54.*.com/2m7i0j7.png Ok, now we have to travel to Mahogany Town, where the 7th Gym is. Du da da... AGAIN?!? http://i52.*.com/348j1hl.png OMG! OK, let's go on. :D Wow, this town sucks. Let's go upper. Oh, some Trainers! :D Woah, what is that? A Shiny Gyarados? Well, lets' get rid of this. http://i54.*.com/34qqu1g.png (OK, now let's check if someone answered me on PC Forum... WTF?!? I can use Slowking?

^If you talking to me, I'll do yours after. Anyway, first update:
Spoiler:

Update 8:
After clearing out the S.S. Aqua, I hit Vermilion City, spotting Suicune on the way into town (accompanied by the unavoidable meeting with Eusine... what a tool). I headed straight for Lt. Surge's Gym, which I took down using Dragonair and Dragonair alone. I was very keen to bump him up the levels required to make him a Dragonite, you see. Surge was no problem - he never, ever is - and I moved on Northward to Saffron. Now Saffron was likely to be a pain. None of my Pokemon at the time had especially good Sp.Def - Mismagius excepted - and none of them had a Psychic resistance. This could therefore have proven to be a tough Gym, so I moved further West to Celadon, which I thought would be a tad easier. I caught a Meowth for Cut purposes, as Pinsir no longer knew it. I hate the layout of Celadon Gym. I honestly, absolutely hate it. It's impossible to see where you're going, and progressing through the holes in the wall is a monotonous task of walking into every spot until you find the right one. Eurgh. At least the Gym's easy; Dragonair and Toxicroak cleared it out between them, Dragonair learning Dragon Dance and then hitting Lv.55 to become a Dragonite. I taught him Fly and we headed North to Cerulean. Cerulean was a breeze too. I sorted out the Power Plant, beat up the foreign Rocket and slapped the Nugget Bridge trainers. I then tonked the Gym trainers and laid the smack down on Misty. Pinsir and Toxicroak handled the main brunt of the Gym Battle, although Mismagius finished off Starmie. As I now had a few levels more to my name (not to mention a new Dragonite) I headed back to Saffron to take on Sabrina. This time, the Espeon that could have caused me trouble before went down in one to Dragonite's Dragon Rush, and the rest was a process of spamming Girafarig's Crunch until Alakazam could no longer be Full Restored. Honourable mention goes to Pinsir for nailing Mr. Mime. So that's where I am: halfway through Kanto already, with my team now fully evolved. The Team: Spoiler:

Update 9:
Just a quick update, like I say I've been playing my Pearl Nuzlocke run recently. I played my Ones that Got Away Challenge a bit earlier though, and this is what I did. I moved West from Celadon down Cycling Road, clearing out all the trainers. When I hit Fuschia City I headed straight for the Gym and kicked Janine's arse, using Girafarig and (for comedy value) Toxicroak, despite his moves' ineffectiveness. I then headed East back up towards Lavender to take on the trainers there and even out my team's levels. The Team: Spoiler:

Oops, forgot to update. You know how this is going to go if I fail to remember the first update XD. So, I got a Turtwig, but imediantly dumped it when I got a Bidoof. I got to Jubelife, beat my rival, evolved Bidoof, beat Roark, got to Floramroma, beat team dorks out of the Valley Windworks, got to Eterna (Caught a Buizel on the way), traded said Buizel to the kid for a Chatot, grinded Chatot, beat Gardaina, beat team dorks AGAIN, I caught a Chingling, trained it a little, and I'm now trying to find a Cheriubi. Oh, and thanks to Chatter, my Chatot now sounds like a MissingNo.
