The Favorite Challenge V.2
 
The Favorite Challenge

Before Starting...
I suggest going to Serebii's Pokedex so you can see a list of Pokemon for each type. You will need to make a list of your favorite 6 Pokemon from each type, even the types you don't like. Have it typed up in Notepad or MS Word. You're not required to post this list, but if you really want to, please put it in spoiler tags. The reason for this is so people that have relatively weak favorites (Pikachu, Sunkern, Metapod...? XD) don't get completely screwed by the person assigned their team.

Once you make your list, then you're good to sign up. The next person to sign up will choose 6 types (so teams of 6 are required for this challenge). Let's say they pick Rock, Bug, Fire, Dragon, Dark, and Ghost. You would have to use your first fave rock, 2nd fave bug, 3rd fave fire, etc. Get me? ;)

Original concept by Master Strife.

The Rules...
1. Cheating/hacking in certain Pokemon is allowed only if necessary (events or inability to trade). Yes, this means you are able to hack Kerudio, Meloetta, and Genesect. If you don't have the means to do this, please refrain from having them listed.
2. Trading is allowed for all Pokemon, including for eggs.
3. Please don't lie about your favorites in your list for those of you not posting it. If you have a team of Ho-oh, Deoxys, Heatran, etc., then I might have to assign you different types.
4. HM slaves are allowed.
5. Emulators are allowed.
6. This is a Black and White exclusive challenge now. Do NOT enter on any previous generation games.
7. When signing up, if you have even one legendary in one of your top 6 for any type, you must say so.
8. A Pokemon can be listed as a favorite for more than one type. (ex. Whiscash can be a favorite Water and Ground). However, this runs the risk of using two of the same Pokemon, so be careful when making your list.
9. Challenge ends after defeating Alder.
10. If you end up with a Pokemon that's not fully evolved, you must keep it that way. That NFE Pokemon is what's in your favorites, not the evolution (in some cases).

If you have any questions, please VM me. If you post in here, there's no guarantee I will see it immediately!

The Alternate Challenge...
If you do not have the ability to obtain gen I-IV Pokemon (or would prefer this method entirely), list only 1 Unova Pokemon per type. With this method, you run a higher risk of using two of the same Pokemon, so be wary. When your types are assigned, you'll just go with the first and only thing you have listed for that type.

The Forme Factor...
Some Pokemon change type upon form, and others don't. When making your list, please do not list specific forms. If you meet a certain criteria, you will be allowed to change forms.

List of form changes and rules for those:
Spoiler:
Deoxys is allowed to change forms because they're all Psychic.
Burmy and Wormadam are allowed to be the form of your choice if they are assigned as your Bug type. These are the only Pokemon you can list a specific form for in your list of favorites.
Rotom may only change forms if he is your assigned Electric type. If he's your Ghost type, you cannot change form, as changing Rotom's form in Gen V loses the Ghost typing.
Giratina is allowed to change forms because he remains Dragon and Ghost.
Shaymin is allowed to change form because both forms are Grass.
Meloetta is allowed to change forms no matter how it's assigned, since it only changes form for in-battle.
Arceus must remain Normal type.
All other forms not listed are allowed to change, since they are minor and/or only in-battle form changes. (Castform, Cherrim, Basculin, Shellos/Gastrodon, Unown, Deerling/Sawsbuck)

lol, I don't like playing with legends as they are too powerful, although I haven't really used any of the B/W ones yet.

Sydian April 13th, 2011 7:08 PM

Well AusDon, when you decide, me or someone else can assign you your types. jdthebud, I'll give you Ice, Grass, Fire, Rock, Normal, and Poison. Good luck!

Anyone wanna give me my types? XD

Okay so that means I'll be using Walrein, Ludicolo, Houndoom, Aggron, Girafarig, and Venusaur. A pretty well rounded team.

Here's my lists btw.

Fire: Arcanine, Charizard, Houndoom, Typhlosion, Ho-oh, Rapidash
Flying: Scyther, Crobat, Gyarodos, Dragonite, Togekiss, Braviary
Ghost: Gengar, Dusknoir, Spiritomb, Masmagius, Sableye, Giratina

Ice: Walrein, Lapras, Jynx, Mamoswine, Glalie, Dewgong
Normal: Miltank, Tauros, Zangoose, Snorlax, Girafarig, Togekiss

I only had a couple Gen V Pokemon, and I actually had a couple legendaries (Ho-oh and Giratina) lol.

Sydian, I will give you Ghost, Flying, Steel, Water, Poison, and Psychic.


So are we supposed hack them all at the beginning or space them out or what?

Sydian April 13th, 2011 9:14 PM

Looks like I'm rockin' Rotom, Delibird, Heatran, Wartortle, Ariados, and Espeon. Not too bad, except I can't change Rotom's form and Heatran's gunna have to be the last thing I send over, because the lowest leveled Heatran I have is at level 50. :[ Kinda sad I have no Unova Pokemon though...I don't know how I'll space this out.

Also, if you wanna space it out, that's fine. I'm gunna do that, because I can't stand having most of my team early. So I'll probably toss a Squirtle and Eevee over first, then Delibird and Spinarak/Ariados, then Rotom, and Heatran will be added when my team hits 50 I guess. But yeah, do whatever you want in terms of when you'll obtain them. And remember that you have to beat the Striaton Gym before you can trade. So feel free to use whatever you want for the first gym (if you're doing this on a hard copy), and if one of those Pokemon turn out to be what you have to use in the challenge, then even better for you. :P

Edit: lol k

Player: L'Via

Beat Cress with the following team:

http://imgboot.com/images/aragornbird/498.gif
Bacondorf / Tepig (m) lv. 14
Ember, Tackle, Odor Sleuth, Tail Whip

http://imgboot.com/images/aragornbird/511.gif

Gunna trade over two eggs from White now (idk who's in them, I forgot which is which, lol) and I'll use those two above to help train the new recruits and then I'll probably box them or something. More people need to join, cough.

Shadowbane92 April 16th, 2011 1:42 AM

I'd like to sign up for this (Pity it's not gen IV anymore, though).
I'll get to it whilst doing my Walrein Solo Run, I think.

Yeah, it's gen V now since people have different favorites, I'm sure says the person that ended up with a team full of non-gen V Pokemon.

You can have Ground, Ice, Poison, Flying, Rock, and Electric. :) Good luck!

blue April 16th, 2011 1:04 PM

Just to make sure, am I allowed to put Scolipede under Poison even though Bug is its primary type?
