Pokemon Speed Challenge
 
Hey all, I came up with a new Challenge. All games are accepted. (I'd appreciate if we stayed away from hacks because I'm pretty sure they take different amounts of times to beat, most of them are much harder and longer due to grinding)

The goal is to have the lowest in game time by the time you:

Beat the Elite Four in Red, Blue, or Yellow
Beat Red in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver
Beat the Elite Four in Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald
Beat the Elite Four the second time (higher levels) in FireRed or LeafGreen
Beat Cynthia in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum
Beat the Champion in Black or White

Now, when you sign up, just give me what game you're playing and I'll put you in the section you need to be in. Next to your name will be your time, along with your current location. So, update frequently, and PLEASE POST A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR SAVESCREEN AND TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE WHEN YOU UPDATE!!!

When you finish your game, I'll move you to the Completed section, in order of final time.

Challengers:
Red & Blue & Yellow

I will do this challenge in Yellow :)

NightOfRemorse January 19th, 2011 8:40 PM

I'm going to do this challenge on Pokémon Ruby.

Alternative January 19th, 2011 10:03 PM

You might want to add some stuff to when the challenge ends, like with most challenges, I'm pretty sure the end point for FR/LG is after the elite four for the second time round, and Emerald is after beating Steven.

Enigma January 19th, 2011 10:29 PM

I will be participating in this for sure soon; I just have way too many challenges right now. I'm sure you can relate. xP

myrrhman January 19th, 2011 10:29 PM

Meh, I'd like to keep the emerald one in the same place, because the game follows the same basic storyline, and should almost be identical in time to Ruby or Sapphire if you beat Wallace instead of Steven. That way, Emerald users can compete against Ruby/Sapphire.

And I can't anymore, inferno, I'm down to 9 challenges. Don't know what you're talking about.

Alternative January 19th, 2011 10:31 PM

I guess you're right on that part, but there is more depth with Emerald, with all the Rayquaza encountering and legendary battles, not to mention more trainers and random Scott encounters. :/

myrrhman January 20th, 2011 7:21 AM

Well, I mean, there's slightly more in Yellow, too. Extra time at the beginning, beating brock is much harder random Pikachu going nuts in Bill's and Pokemon Fan Club, etc. It's still with Red/Blue.

My best advice if you feel this way about emerald is probably to not do emerald. You'll have an advantage if you do it on ruby.

Destiny Bond January 20th, 2011 3:31 PM

im going for pokemon leafgreen

NightOfRemorse January 22nd, 2011 6:50 PM

I just entered Dewford Town with a time of 1:14 (no pics right now).

DavidBarnes January 24th, 2011 12:12 AM

This looks fun, sign me up for Ruby Version. :D

chaos11011 January 24th, 2011 8:45 AM

Nobody has done Black and White yet, and I've played it about 5 times now so I know how to get through it (kinda) fast. So sign me up for that :D

Dabutcha January 29th, 2011 10:12 AM

Sign me up for Gold. Though I'm not sure I'll finish.

Rosebud2 February 16th, 2011 12:49 PM

I'm in this for Pokemon Red.

Okay, update number one:

In this for Yellow. Will post first pic later.

SyngthaSuyeon March 11th, 2011 4:16 AM

Began the game after changing the name of the rom to Pokemon White [Speed].

Name: Amber
Starter: Tsutaja ♀
Nickname: Trinity (Pokesav'd the name)

I battled both Cheren & Bel (I have the US rom, but I prefer the patch with romanized Japanese names for challenges). Bel trashed my room and she and Cheren went to apologize for the wreckage. My mom gave me a Live Caster before I went to the lab. Prof. Ariragi taught us how to catch a Pokemon.

I caught a Yooteri and named him Hero. After saving my game, I pokesav'd a Pokabu egg for later (might replace her with either Victini or Chandelure). After battling N, the egg hatched and I got a girl which I named Janey. I trained her and Hero before battling Bel, then Cheren in Shippou. I got a Hiyappu and named him Mickey. I trained everyone to lvl 13 before taking on Pod. I helped a Munna and Makomo out, then kicked a few Team Plasma butts for stealing a little girl's Pokemon.

Made it to Straiton (sp?) and battled Aloe. Caught an Otamaro and named her Amet. Went to Pinwheel Forest to chase down Team Plasma. Caught a Sewaddle which I named Yoseob. I trained him until he evolved. I got the skull back for Aloe, went to Hiun City, got Bel's Munna back, and went to the Gym.

Current location: Hiun/Castelia City - Gym Entrance
Time: 3:24:36
Team:
Trinity/Janovy (Servine) lvl 22
Janey/Chaobu (Pignite) lvl 22
Hero/Harderia (Harderier) lvl 22
Amet/Otamaro (Tympole) lvl 21
Yoseob/Kurumayu (Swadloon) lvl 20

Right-o, I'll add you in

I would hope so, I can do challenges daily. Can you do the same?

I'm thinking that when I finish all the monotypes, this is going to be the first challenge I do, just to set a bar, I guess. The real question is, how fast can I finish the monotypes?

MakeaJohn April 18th, 2011 10:00 AM
