The Beach Challenge
The Beach Challenge With school coming to an end and the weather getting nice and hot again, I figured, why not kick off the spring/summer weather with a challenge based around the beach! Rules: -There is no hacking or trading in Pokemon. There should always be a Pokemon that is available for you. -HM Slaves are allowed, only if there is no possible way any of your Pokemon can use that HM. You can only use that Pokemon for the purpose of the HM. Absolutely no battling. -No Legendaries -Have a Blast The game is over once you defeat: Kanto: Blue (Rival) Johto: Red Hoenn: Steven (R/S), Wallace (E) Sinnoh: Cynthia Unova: Ghetsis Unova 2: Iris Kalos: AZ Pokemon Requirements: Pokemon #1: The Pelican This Pokemon must act as your Water/Flying Type. If you can get a Wingull and Pelipper, that must be your Pokemon of choice. If not your other options are the other Water/Flying Types. Gyrados, Ducklet/Swanna or Mantyke/Mantine Pokemon #2: The Fish You can choose any Pokemon that is a fish in some way or another. If it's not directly a fish, shoot me a PM or something and I'll see if it can be approved. Pokemon #3: The Sand Plants On a beach, plants have powerful roots that hold the dunes intact. You must use a Grass-type Pokemon with the move ingrain. Here is the list of Pokemon that can learn it: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ingrain_(move) Pokemon #4: The Dog People take their dogs to the beach all the time. This Pokemon must be dog based. I just copied a list. If there's any more, feel free to add them. Spoiler:
Pokemon #5 - The Human People play at the beach all the time! This Pokemon must resemble a person. Here's a list provided by Neoseeker. http://pokemon.neoseeker.com/wiki/Human-Like Pokemon #6 - Playing in the Sand We all love to play in the sand when we go to the beach. This is for Pokemon who can learn Sand Attack by leveling up only! Here is a list provided by Bulbapedia http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sand_Attack_(move) RAFFLE: Anyone who completes this challenge before June 1st will be put in a Raffle to win a Shiny Wingull or Pelipper. This Pokemon has been provided by Kitkat987!

Ah.
Um. Okay, that last post there seals it. We'll do it just because we already made a list of the fish and we feel we should share. Name:Waters_Echo Game: Fire Red (we totally actually already started doing this thing but never bothered sighing because we just do things like that sometimes?) Spoiler:
ignore the +'s and *'s, I forget what those were even for (it might have been the rod required to get them?)(??)(or was it me marking possibilities for fish training)(uh) (Garchomp may be a very, very, very debatable shark, though, too?) |

Well, it's based off of elvers (that is the cutest name for a baby animal ever. Eels are amazing) and the knifefish known as the electric eel?
And it evolves into lampreys...? If the actual specification was "fish found in the ocean", I'd have to dissect my Marine List in cross reference with my Icthiology List, because they're slightly different. And then there's the difference between "fish found in ocean", "fish pokemon mentioned to be able to swim in the ocean" and "fish pokemon actively found in the ocean ingame"... *overthinks biology forever* Aah, I'll grind later, I should go to bed. |
I'm sorry. I'm not necessarily active anymore, but with Tynamo, go for it.
|
I'm pretty sure D/P/Pt had no dogs... at all...
|
They have Houndour/Houndoom but I am not sure about the other canine pokemon in there.
|
Would riolu and lucario count as dogs, being jackals? They're the only canids I can think of in DP
In Platinum you can get eevee and houndour, though. -- I'll mention that at the current time we have: 2 badges 2 pokemon and are about to punch out TR in Pokemon Tower -- We're on a Randomiser update for Moves, Impossible evolutions, Name case and National Dex (nothing actually randomised.) That should be okay, I hope? (I need to know because I have a pokemon that requires two of these things to evolve for my planned team) (Why did they even make it so you needed national dex to evolve into post-genI pokemon, it's so frustrating)(you want espeon/umbreon/politoed/kingdra/scizor/steelix/belossom/crobat/blissey/slowking pre-League? hahahahahahaNOPE) |

In no possible dimension is houndour available in D/P before getting to the E4, and I didn't see the luxray/lucario lines because they weren't on the list. |
Despite not being on the list, riolu and lucario are canids, being based off of jackals, and the closest you get to a dog in DP.
In Platinum, however, you can get the gift eevee (Jolteon, Flareon & Umbreon on the list) and wild houndour. I'd say luxray line is lions, however, and not in any way canid, so I'm not sure why Pokefan mentioned them? I mean, Mightyena is on there, but it's as much based off of wolves (actual canids) as it is hyenas (feliformia) |

ehh, it's ok, but the reason I didn't complain about platinum was because I knew houndoor was available. also, now that I think about it, aren't the luxray line cats? |

Badges: Boulder, Cascade, - Currently: Grinding Team: Pelican Pelican the Gyarados 53, M, Intimidate, - Tackle, rain dance, bite, twister Notes: I- HPFlying. II- Really strong, but probably about time to replace tackle with strength or something. And also perhaps bite and twister, maybe with HP, because he's a physical attacker Dog Parrot the acranine 53, F, Flash Fire, - Bite, extremespeed, flamethrower, odor sleuth Notes: I- HPFire (I was basically somewhat incredulous at the fact that Pelican and Parrot both had matching HPs. Useful for Pelican, though) II- The name is an in-joke, actually Fish Macaroni the seadra 50, M, Swift Swim, leftovers HPIce, smokescreen, bubble, twister Notes: I- really need a better water move. II- I decided to make it a name-theme (birds) and called him 'Penguin', but switched to 'Macaroni', which was actually my first impulse. He's a Macaroni Penguin. Human Grebe the poliwrath 43, F, Water Absorb, leftovers HPFlying, body slam, dig, Hydro Pump (or Brick Break, we don't know yet) Notes: I- grebes are cute. Grebe is also cute, like her namesake. Sandcastle Sandplant |
Update 1:
Currently in Cold Storage, proper update unavailable due to how far I've got. Team: Spoiler:

Wow... I was about to join this challenge and so, I started new game and I played... and played... and played... and won :D So, it was really nice speedrun :D

Pelican beat both Leader almost alone - Third Gym was a little problem, but after short training, Chick beat that annoying Magneton - Next Gym, the Fire one, wasn't hard, thanks to Palican - Fifth Gym, the "Daddy" Gym was hard as always and it took me three tries but after all, beat that King Kong - Last three Gyms... Well, I don't have anything to say... I already had all members of my team and they were trained well, so there wasn't problem... - It was same with E4 - And finally Steven... Metagross beat Cat, Dan, Jessie, Pelican and Stein... And all was on Chick... And it was epic :D |

Badges: Boulder, Cascade, Soul, Volcano, - Currently: chilling on Two Island Team: Pelican Pelican the Gyarados 55, M, Sassy, Intimidate, Tackle, rain dance, bite, twister Notes: I- HPFlying. II- No, seriously, I need to go over his moves Dog Parrot the acranine 55, F, Quiet, Flash Fire, Bite, extremespeed, flamethrower, odor sleuth Notes: I- HPFire II- The name is an in-joke, actually Fish Macaroni the seadra 55, M, Bashful, Swift Swim, HPIce, smokescreen, surf, twister Notes: I- still don't know if I am allowed to evolve him??? Gonna just evolve him at level 60 no matter. II- I decided to make it a name-theme (birds) and called him 'Penguin', but switched to 'Macaroni', which was actually my first impulse. He's a Macaroni Penguin. Human Grebe the poliwrath 55, F, Brave, Water Absorb, HPFlying, body slam, dig, Hydro Pump Notes: I- grebes are cute. Grebe is also cute, like her namesake. II- Still don't know if we'll replace Hydro Pump with Brick Break, likely will later. Sandcastle Egret the kabutops 55, F, Serious, Swift Swim, HPFlying, sand attack, slash, mud shot Notes: I- because how they hunt is a bit reminicent II- first kabuto was a girl, amazing. Sandplant Cassowary the tangela 57, M, Quiet, Chlorophyll, HPElectric, vine whip, sleep powder, growth Notes: I- Now, tangela aren't really what anyone would say as badass, but cassowary WIPED THE FLOOR with Blaine's whole gym... so... the name is a pretty good match as 'terrifying devil beast that lives amongst the vines' II- We don't know whether to replace sleep powder or growth with ingrain... probably growth? HALF MY TEAM IS HPFLYING, WHY. Entire team, as it currently is, either has Amulet Coin or Leftovers. (depending on who is in battle and backup and what kinds of battle and such) Might need to come up with more items to give later, but eh. (1xAmulet coin, 2xleftovers does not a whole team cover) |
Name: or19937
Game: Light Platinum(Such a fun game for challenges). |
I finally freed my Platinum rom so I can start playing ~ I have one question before I start though -Since I am not sure weather there is Pelipper in platinum or not can I pokegen one in? I really want to use one and it's the only pokemon that resembles Pelican - it will be legit don't worry- I won't make one with insane moveset or something like that.

AoTora, in Platinum wingull can be found pre-League in the following places:
Routes 213 (grass/surfing), 219 (surfing), 220 (surfing), 221 (surfing), 222 (grass/surfing ), Fuego Ironworks (Grass), Sunyshore City (surfing), Iron Island(surfing), Pokémon League (surfing) Wingull and/or pelipper can be found pre-league in RSE, DPP, B2W2 and XY, and pre-Red in HGSS (and also if you got the Event Course Sightseeing on the Pokewalker, but it was only in Japan and Korea, so unlikely) -~- Decided we may as well put ingrain over growth, even though growth is potentially really useful- sleep powder is useful for keeping opponents off Cassowary's back for a move or two, so... |
Thankyou! I just remembered that (: So my team is going to be really interesting :3 I will probably go with Tangrowth (Ingrain), Pelipper, Houndoom and one of the eeveelutions, not sure about the rest of my team just yet :3
