First Encounter Challenge
First Encounter Challenge
The first encounter challenge is actually a modification of one of the rules found in the Nuzlocke Challenge. The idea of the First Encounter Challenge is that you are limited only to the first pokemon that you encounter in an area (an area being a route, a cave, a city, etc.). There are other limitations, however:
Hard mode (optional, you can pick all or just some hard rules if you prefer):
Like many challenges, there is a single challenge and an ultimate challenge. For the single challenge you only need to play through one game. This can be any game you choose, including completed hacks such as Pokemon Brown or Prism. For the ultimate challenge you play through one game from each generation, working your way up beginning from generation 1 and ending at generation 5. No hacks please. End games: R/B/Y/Fr/Lg: Defeat or catch Mewtwo. G/S/C/Hg/Ss: Defeat Red. R/S/E: Defeat Champion Steven. D/P/Pl: Defeat Champion Cynthia. B/W: Defeat Champion Alder. If you want to join this challenge, bear in mind that the first set of rules are obligatory. As for the optional set (see hard mode), please state which rules you will be choosing in your game. Also state which games you will be playing (one per generation) and whether it is a single or ultimate challenge. Have fun!
