Asking about updates is a bit rude though, so please refrain from it, and this goes for anybody.

If time goes on and clearly the owner of this challenge isn't signing on anymore, posting in here, or any of that, someone else is free to ask me for ownership of the challenge. But until then, please show the OP some respect by not asking about updates. Thanks for understanding!

I also have school and understand the pressure of school and I am sorry, I was not trying to be/sound rude when asking that. I am very sorry ShadeDraco for being rude and offending you and Jak sorry, I won't ask anything like that anymore and did not mean to be rude. I just wasn't sure if something was going on but now I understand thank you for letting me know and I will just wait.

Just one question am I able to post my updates?

ShadeDraco April 3rd, 2014 4:14 PM

1: ShadeDraco no k
2: Tomorrow morning
3: I apologize for my lack of logins, but I will get back to weekly updates of the list. (Every Friday morning)

alvmonster: Parasect, Ampharos, Granbull, and Delibird. Have fun!

Update as you wish. I honestly feel bad for neglecting the list update and earnestly apologize for it.
You didn't insult me because I'm fairly aware of my responsibilities and slacked.

I'll sign up for this!

Name: HeroesAndCons
Version: Blaze Black
Pokedex: National
My Picks: Galvantula, Feraligatr, Excadrill
# of Pokemon: 6

Additional suggestions:
- No NFEs or Legendaries please.
- Please don't pick anything with types I have already chosen.
- I would prefer a Flyer if possible.
- Trade evolutions are fine since I am using the Universal Randomiser to change them to level / item evolutions.

pleryt17 April 26th, 2014 4:16 PM

HeroesandCons, you get Pidgeot, Garbodor, and Hitmonlee. I think these are available ingame, and if they aren't, I'll get you some new ones.

As for me, I want to do Soulsilver!

Name: pleryt17
Version: Soulsilver
Pokedex: Normal
My Picks: Quagsire, Typhlosion, and Victreebell

Edit: 6 Pokemon

Well in all honesty I was hoping for something a bit more imaginative than Pidgeot for my flyer, given the nature of this challenge (there's like 40 pokemon to choose from and you pick the old gen 1 stalwart, LOL) :P The other two picks were pretty nice though, so I guess my team is set then. I'll start off soon, and I've set my starter to Joltik so I can begin right away. Oh and yeah every single Pokemon from the first five generations is available in Blaze Black.

As for your picks, you get Skarmory, Arbok and Tauros. Enjoy!

I wasn't sure what pokemon were available in the game so I just gave you Pidgeot. If you'd like a reroll, you get.... Golurk! He can learn fly and it's pretty useful for coverage against grass types. I used him in my run of Pokemon X for it and it was amazing.

But I accept my team, and will get started now! Thanks for it!

Nah you don't need to change my team, Pidgeot will do fine, I just found it quite amusing how everyone goes for Pidgeot (outside of DPP where everyone picks Staraptor, naturally) in any limited-Pokemon challenge :P

pleryt17 April 26th, 2014 5:16 PM

I just checked, and I can't get Skarmory until after the Eighth Gym, could I get a reroll on it?

EDIT: I'll just use a Pidgey for fly until I get to Skarmory. Then it's a pure grind.

Technically you can get it as soon as you arrive in Blackthorne City - you don't need to beat the gym to reach Route 45. And yeah just substitute any flying type in as a slave until you reach Route 45.

Since your playing SS, you have to beat Kanto gyms and Red before the challenge is over. Neither of those are issues though.
Also to both of you any questions you have, wait for me to answer.

But may both of you have fun and do well on this challenge! Good luck :D

My apologies. I was just training up the Magneton from my challenge and wasn't paying complete attention. At least I didn't say Magnemite :P

Don't forget Golbat is also NFE, so that probably needs to evolve to Crobat too ;)

Also some issues are arising currently with regards to playing my ROM, so I'll have to forfeit my challenge and try again at a later date =(

The only reason I wanted a reroll was so I didn't have to train up the Skarmory so much before the ELite Four. I'm fine with it now, I'll just stick an Exp. Share on it and hope it gets up before. I knew that the challenge wasn't over until Red though.

EDIT:

Decided to give an update.

Spoiler:
I started the game up, chose a boy, named myself Stephen. Chose Cyndaquil for my starter, named him Cheeky. Went to Mr. Pokemon, got the egg, fought my rival, named my rival Banana, went and caught myself a Bellsprout, named him Little. Went and caught myself a Wooper, named him Bugger. Started to do the Bellsprout Tower but then I realized I could catch my Ekans. Caught my Ekans, named him Boosh, conquered Sprout Tower with Boosh. Beat Falkner with Cheeky. Cheeky evolved. Sped through Union Cave using Wooper's Water Gun. Beat Slowpoke Well with a combined effort. Currently training up to beat Bugsy (his Scyther is unkillable).


Team:
Spoiler:
Cheeky the Quilava level 16, Hasty nature, Blaze
Quick Attack
Leer
SmokeScreen
Ember

Little the Bellsprout level 13, Serious Nature, Chlorophyll
Vine Whip
Growth
Wrap
Sleep Powder

Bugger the Wooper level 14, Bashful Nature, Water Absorb
Water Gun
Tail Whip
Mud Sport
Mud Shot

Boosh the Ekans level 13, Careful Nature, Intimidate
Glare
Leer
Poison Sting
Bite


EDIT again.... How do you put sprites in? I'd like to have those rather than just words.

CelticsPhan May 1st, 2014 8:08 PM

I've decided to withdraw from my Black 2 50-50 (with Garchomp, Swampert, Mantine, Sawk) because I'm tired of playing Black 2 at the moment. I might pick it up later when I'm not sick of Unova, but currently I am!

I apologize for any confusion.

Sword Wolf May 3rd, 2014 10:09 AM

That's a shame, but come back to it whenever.

pleryt17 May 25th, 2014 7:47 PM

I'm sorry, but I'm going to drop out of this challenge. My little bro deleted my SoulSilver save and I don't want to restart. I may try my hand at this again later on, but for now I'm done.
