Home is where the Challenges are
 
Alright! So for a long time we used the CI&D for all our random talk rather than using it for Challenge ideas like it was intended. So I'm splitting it so we have this thread which we can use for regular... well chit chat I suppose haha. If it doesn't work out we can always go back to the old method.

Gulpin July 16th, 2014 8:07 PM

So how is everyone doing on their challenges? I've put a temporary hold on my monotypes to 'complete' my storage copy, X. So far I've almost completed the Kalos Pokedex, and I'd like to finish the National Pokedex and then move on to taking on the Battle Maison. But I'll probably get bored of that before I finish, which means I'll be back to doing my monotypes eventually!

Necrum July 16th, 2014 8:57 PM

What a funny coincidence, I too am working on my Kalos dex right now, haha! I completed my Central Kalos Dex already, and am currently working on the Coastal Kalos Dex. I'm not going for the full National Dex though, I only need the Oval Charm for the time being. Aside from that, I've been working on my OTGA Water team, which is going swimmingly (no pun intended).

Ahri July 17th, 2014 4:35 AM

I put all my challenges on hold atm x.x I'm in a not pokemon mood I guess .-.

Pendraflare July 17th, 2014 5:03 AM

Let's see… For Black 2 I have the Time Warp challenge, which I do want to get back to, but there's also my Red Mono-Color on White that I haven't touched in a couple weeks since arriving in Castelia. And I still have the Favorites Challenge on Y, which I keep telling myself "oh I'll get back to this" but I haven't cared enough to. >_>

In the meantime, my Heart Gold Wedlocke - my main priority, I beat Lance in and will be starting Kanto soon. Training in this game blows, though. =(

Sorry to hear that, pair. :( It'll come back, moods come and go. Enjoy something else in the mean time! :D

FSNW5yiFrXVXqv July 17th, 2014 7:35 AM

Gym Leader Challenge 'til September ends. Also might finish a run for that anime challenge if it comes up soon and given I have time to do so. Sounds exciting with the dice rolls/rng. #MankeyBFL

edit: that, and a ton of work to do =/

AoTora July 17th, 2014 7:37 AM

Well let me see about the challenges I signed up for ~ which is a lot xD

I completed The ones that got away challenge but I am sorta lazy and I cannot seem to force myself to post the update - will do it sometime later today xD

I got through victory road and through whole elite 4 and bam my super awesome emulator decided to glitch on me and freeze - when did I last save? At the beginning of the victory road >_< So I have to go through whole road and elite 4 again - which is making me kinda meh about playing anything on vba for a while until I fix it >_< Which means that I am going to have to take a break from challenges I signed up for on GBA games for now until I figure out what is going on with it .-.

Necrum July 17th, 2014 11:24 AM

I'm in the process of getting the Challenge Index all updated, so if any of you notice an inconsistency like wrong name or supporter tier, please let me know. So far I have cut out all the dead challenges that were still listed there. So if you're challenge isn't listed it's probably because I haven't added new ones just yet.

Xilfer July 17th, 2014 4:01 PM

Ohey, a DCC here. >__>

Well I'm almost done with a Random Challenge on White. My team sucks, but that just makes it all the more challenging. I feel like doing more challenges, but since challenges are yet another form of procrastination for me, doing too many would mean I'd never get any actually important stuff done.

I really wanna do The Ones That Got Away at least, but I have yet to receive a team. *Sits and waits quietly*

I hope you enjoy the team I gave you. I think it's got some really cool Pokemon on it.

Ramsie July 18th, 2014 8:19 AM

I'm working on my Ultimate Fire Mono right now. Still in Leafgreen though, but I've made good progress. I'm working my way through Silph Co. now. Any other challenges I've signed up for on the back burner for now.

AoTora July 18th, 2014 12:04 PM

I finally got around and completed that nuzlocke without my emulator crashing :o I am so happy right now ~ It was such a long and interesting run especially when it came to the water routes and doupes clause ~ but I managed to get cool team in the end with only one death against last elite 4 member and one backup left in my pc- which never happens to me o.o

Torterra is pretty much my favorite starter in terms of effectiveness. He's bulky and has good offensive types, I love it.

Yeah, I saw that. Overleveled and still ends up with only one remaining member against the Champion (one of the more infamous Champions I should add), with only one Pokémon remaining weak to Water? And 25 deaths?! You really were cut out on this one it seemed. x(

Sydian July 19th, 2014 7:50 AM

I need to restart my Silver random challenge. The battery was messed up and didn't save it from before when I started, but I've gotten it fixed since. It's still a little jittery of a cartridge though. It freezes when you tap it. :(

Your best bet would be to ask over in the General Quick Trades thread, or making a thread of your own in the Quick Trades forum.

Xilfer July 19th, 2014 7:58 PM

Oh gosh Nuzlockes. I just remembered how much I suck at them.

A lot of my Pokemon end up dying in the middle of training. Mainly because I barely ever pay attention when I'm mindlessly grinding in the wild; I just let my fingers do the work while I watch TV or something. As a result, I never notice my Pokemon's HP dwindling until it's too late. -__-

Captain Gizmo July 19th, 2014 8:06 PM

Btw, did Syd forget to update the Ultimate Gym Leader challenge thread? Her last update was on January 1st xD

Sydian July 19th, 2014 8:14 PM

Damn right I forgot! ;) I've got the moon and sun working against me when it comes to updating things. I'll give that puppy a rehaul on Monday since I'm off. Sound good to you?

Haha no rush at all! :D
Just thought you might've forgotten or something :P
Or maybe you just got lazy and didn't wanna update it anymore :-o

Sydian July 19th, 2014 8:51 PM

It's like a combo of forgetting and being busy. I forget, then remember, but I'm too busy to do anything haha. Plus when I run events and HAVE to update them, they get priority. Really, majority of regulars here are much better challenge owners than I am. I'm pretty bad. :P

Captain Gizmo July 19th, 2014 9:00 PM

But you male awesome challenge threads and event tho :D

AoTora July 20th, 2014 1:15 AM

Ooo new event :3 I love events so much :o (Even though I participated in only two so far lol - One failed due to some complications and me not having time for playing and one I actually completed twice xD) ~ this should be fun :3 I like this one so much ^^ *gets to work :3* See ya in a while when I am done with some of those challenges xD *goes outside, prepares icecream, puts on the music on youtube and starts playing games* :3

Oh yeah nuzlockes... They are painful for me :o For whatever reason I always lose my temper with them and I always lose a ton of pokemon for unnecessary reasons - Like randomized nuzlockes - Wild wobbuffets in the wild - killers of my pokemon! D: Oh and the joy when your opponent seem to get all the hacks and crits on the world and you get none D:

~Justified~ July 20th, 2014 4:50 PM

I've basically dropped all my challenges/put them on hold. Most of the ones I participated (that are mine) are nearly dead anyway so idk if I'll ever get around to finishing one:/

Sydian July 20th, 2014 8:39 PM

I haven't been working on my Random much either. I have been working on playing so many non-Pokemon games this year. And when I'm not doing that, I'm at work making money for more games...lol

Captain Gizmo July 21st, 2014 3:01 AM

Well this sucks, I was planning on doing a type cycle challenge and I just realized after doing my signup, that the owner haven't been giving out teams to people who posted on it for more than months now xD

Well I gotta look for other places to sign up xD

Ahri July 21st, 2014 4:33 AM

I wanted to start my Location Challenge over but I can't cause no one's assigned me a team lol. So guess that's another one of my challenges dying out.

AoTora July 21st, 2014 5:43 AM

Me is mad right now =( I started with one of the time-wrap eras on Light Platinum- I was training for elite 4 already when my computer decided to be annoying and deleted all my save files and all my roms - Which means that my DOB challenge is gone too - and I was at like 6th gym leader there :( I am so upset right now D: I hate my computer so much :( Makes me want to quit challenges all together since a lot of my work went to waste (My solo run- bye bye - At the 5th gym, my monotypes - gone, the only thing left is my randomizer nuzlocke :/ )

Yeah, I noticed that last time I updated. Last I checked, the owner hadn't been active since January. It's a shame because it's such a fun challenge.

Don't quit D: ♥♥♥♥ happens, ya know? At least they were only files, you didn't lose a bunch of physical games like I did. :(

Ahri July 21st, 2014 1:17 PM

Someone give me a team in Location challenge DX seriously x.x

That makes my day a little bit better lol I will get back to the beginning of the games I guess xD And I guess that I can use most of those challenges I will restart for the new event aswell xD

And Orianna you shall get your team in a second :3 I am trying to make up a good team with good type coverage for you :3

Captain Gizmo July 21st, 2014 8:37 PM

Are we allowed to revive a challenge if the owner isn't active on it anymore? And he's been inactive from the from the forums for about a month? I'm talking about the Type Cycle challenge :P

Xilfer July 22nd, 2014 9:14 AM

I know it's not exactly a challenge, but I wonder... what would happen if I went through an entire game with a team of Ditto?

LESTRYEET!

Captain Gizmo July 23rd, 2014 12:33 AM

6 vs 6 me. No items, Final Destination, only Ditto.

We had a Mono Species challenge before that would qualify for, though I wouldn't recommend doing that with Ditto haha, if you run into a trainer with one then you're pretty much trapped for eternity :P

FSNW5yiFrXVXqv July 23rd, 2014 5:29 PM

Comparing that to battles between magikarps and metapods with seemingly endless pp, Ditto is a gift from the gods. Just 10 turns of crap and someone finally starts dying.

Not necessarily... Once Ditto uses Transform and transforms into you, the PP for all its moves resets to 5. So no escaping that :P

Only Arceus can decide who is the better transformer. I shall prevail!

But yeah I might cheat and give one of my Dittos an extra move just in case something like that happens.

Somebody should totally re-open the mono species challenge so I can make it official. xD

really...dear god. Then i guess one must do the transform-switch-transform routine for quite a while until the pp of all dittos run down...or enter the battle with 0pp. lol 6v6 tho.

Pendraflare July 25th, 2014 5:01 AM

We can't stop here! This is challenge country.

You know, part of that title kinda gives me the feel that the arcade challenge fits Las Vegas, which is known for its casinos.

Captain Gizmo July 28th, 2014 11:48 PM

I literally had the worst team to level up...

In my Monotype I had to raise Budew and freaking Burmy with its Protect and Tackle as its only attack.

Then in my Gym Leader challenge, I had to level up the freakin' cancers of wild encounters aka Tentacool and Zubat.

Then in my Other gym leader challenge, I had to level up Abra, which is not so bad but still tedious to get some experience on it.

Probably one of the toughest team I had to raise for challenges until now xD

Dtoons5gs July 30th, 2014 11:57 AM

I am starting a Pokemon White 2 Egglocke and I really need the eggs so can you guys send me some eggs on [email protected] if you dont know how to do it you have to use pokegen. Make a pokemon save it from tabs and email me the created pokemon and make sure that it is the lowest evolution stage and NO LEGENDARIES!!!!!

Thanks,
Dtoons5gs

Pendraflare July 31st, 2014 4:41 AM

So after doing my Normal Monotype on Y and saying I considered making it an Ultimate, I thought of a few other types I could do that for, so I made a strawpoll to get suggestions. Vote!

http://strawpoll.me/2232045

Not sure if i'm not allowed to do this, but these polls can be fun to make.

If you think that is bad never do a mono-colour red in 4th gen>:( . You are forced to raise a krickatot to lvl 16 with just bide to get bug bite to beat Roark.

Pendraflare July 31st, 2014 6:43 AM

Yeah, not looking forward to that when I do my Ultimate. jd said it's not too bad, though...

Speaking of Red Mono-Colors, y u no finish yours? :P You're over-leveled in White 2 last I saw, so i'm sure you could get through a bit more of the game.

I remember I had to use a Nuzleaf to beat Brawly once, it was soooo horrible :(

Pendraflare August 1st, 2014 6:47 PM

As far as unfavorable match-ups go, the worst i've been thrown was having to use a team of Grass-types with only three (Servine, Sunkern and Leavanny) in White 2 against Roxie on Challenge Mode. I kept failing against her first Pokémon, so I had no choice but to evolve my Sewaddle into Leavanny to win the fight. And even so, I still barely won. Burgh right after that was balls as well.

Auserk August 1st, 2014 7:25 PM

My worst was recently when I was doing my Random team run through Ruby . Got to Wattson with only Golbat, Swellow and Gyarados as I was trying to catch as I went. after 7+ attempts I got to Magneton and somehow with double team and crits got it to 1/4 heath before a super potion ruined it. Ended up restarting and hacking my complete team in to train up. Even then he was one of the hardest battles, minus Steven's Metagross. Made me think back to using Charmander starting in Red.

Reminds me of the time I had to face Wattson with my team of Tentacool and Zubat xD
iirc, I had to evolve my Zubat into Golbat and use Confuse Ray on Magneton and it kept hitting itself while I just kept using Bite and I finally defeated him xD

Auserk August 1st, 2014 11:00 PM

I was also only able to beat him on my normal run with headbutts and sand attack. It was worse when his Voltorb would Self Destruct on his first turn taking your best hope with it. I think that if you battled Steven through the game as your rival he would easily be the most annoying challenge to face.

Tek August 2nd, 2014 3:47 AM

DCC has become a horror story thread.


Speaking of which, taking on Emerald's E4 with a NFE team (Clefairy, Krabby, Swablu, Pikachu, Trapinch, Dratini) is an absolute nightmare.

jdthebud August 2nd, 2014 9:04 AM

So, the Stadium Arcadium Event is over, right? I keep waiting for Necrum to post a final tally or something.

Pendraflare August 2nd, 2014 5:03 PM

Noticed he hasn't been on all day, hope he isn't busy becoming eviler D: I just want to hear his verdict on XY's Exp. Share since the poll is tied!

On one hand, I want the Exp. Share to be unbanned, because training in the game i've found to be a headache on occasion without it (not as bad as Johto/RSE, but still unpleasant). On the other, if it doesn't, I won't be too upset, if only because I often go in against Gym Leaders and the Elite Four behind even their lowest. In my Normal Monotype on Y I went in at Level 59 and still beat the four without too much concerns, even with Set mode and no bag items in battle. I went in on my Red Mono-Color at the same level, and Siebold was the hardest of them by far, but Diantha was very edgy as well (quite a bit of luck, came down to my Scolipede against Mega Gardevoir, and OHKO'ed her with a critical hit Poison Jab, that may or may not have mattered since I had the Poison Barb).

Took a bit longer than I expected to wipe my computer yesterday, haha. Wound up not having Windows on it til past midnight.

Enigma August 4th, 2014 1:51 PM

Hey guys, I hope a few of you at least remember me. I've come back to PC recently after a little hiatus, but I'm ready to start back up where I was before in terms of challenges. I'm sad that I missed Stadium Arcadium, but oh well.

Also, for any of you that remember both me and my 151 Solo goal, I think I'm going to resume that immediately, but I wanna put a new twist on it: I want the people to decide what my next solo is gonna be. it'll help because i'm really undecisive

I'm also not going to sign up for anymore challenges until my name change goes through, which (hopefully) shouldn't be too long.

Necrum August 4th, 2014 1:59 PM

Garsp! It's InfernoRogue! Glad to see you back! I personally can't stand solo challenges, but to each their own.

Solo challenges aren't my favorite either, unless it's with a Pokemon I really enjoy. When I started out on my 151 goal, I really wanted to do something different, something that no one has done before. I just...never finished it, heheh. I'm not kidding when I say I'm indecisive!

Thanks, heheh. On a another note, now that X and Y have been out for a while, I'm kinda bummed that I can't really do a complete Ultimate challenge anymore, since I don't have a 3DS or either game. I'm hoping some challenges still count an Ultimate as through gen 5.

I think he said his Mono-Color does, at least for the time being given I'm the only documented XY Mono-Color clear as far as I recall. :P You could try that!

That would be fun, I wanted to do all Mono-Color Ultimates at some point, so I guess that means I still can. I think I need to go through everything step-by-step first; I should probably finish my 151 solos just to get them over with.

Ha, that'd sure be a time-consuming task! Unless you were playing on emulators with super-speed access, it'd get pretty tedious i'd imagine, especially if you're talking about all the Pokémon, including their un-evolved forms and not just their final forms.

I've only done two challenges here on emulators and those were Ruby and Leaf Green for my Ground Ultimate, and that was while I still had my Dell computer. On a MacBook I can't really find any good emulators, so I had to use my physical versions of Ruby and Fire Red for my Red Ultimate.

Time consuming, very tedious, but it'll be amazing once it's over with. It'll be something memorable for sure.

On that note, anyone have any suggestions for the next Pokemon to do?

Welcome back!
As for your next Pokemon, you should use Weepinbell. Kinda random, but for some reason the Bellsprout line popped up in my head, and why not use the awkward middle evolution? It shouldn't be too difficult, because Wrap is so OP in RBY.

Weepinbell, alrighty! That's fine with me, I think I've gotten the most difficult Pokemon out of the way already.

Speaking of Red Mono-Colors, y u no finish yours? :P You're over-leveled in White 2 last I saw, so i'm sure you could get through a bit more of the game.

My laptop is broke and my desktop runs so slow that's why I didn't finish it before now. ( Still have to post update) My sister spent a few nights at her friend's house and she forgot to log out of her computer so I finished the second half of it yesterday. Also why did you say that I was overleveled ? I was right on par with the gym leaders/elitefour.

Uh Level 37 after Elesa? That's pretty over-leveled if you ask me :P But if you've already beaten the game it's irrelevant now. Sorry Dx

Enigma August 5th, 2014 10:36 PM

Spent some time today doing Weepinbell's solo for my 151...once I got Razor Leaf and Slam, I was rolling through for the most part. Lance's Dragonite and Blue's Ninetales were terrible, though. Taking suggestions for my next Pokemon, again.

I think what I'm going to end up doing is like finishing 2 or 3 solos, then doing a different challenge before I do anymore. That way I can help stop myself from getting burnt out on RBY. Time to start up some new challenges!

Do Pinsir, Magnemite, and/or Seadra. And the Mono-Color challenge is calling your name. ;)

I see. That was just after I finished grinding. I just forgot to mention it.

Captain Gizmo August 7th, 2014 6:53 AM

Guys, just a quick question!

When you finally arrive at the E4, what kind of preparations do you all make? :D

I wanna know if people does things differently or everything just basically prepares the same way^^

Well I try to max out my EVs if needed, maybe do a little EV training if I have the berries for it. Then I get rid of HM moves and relearn or teach better moves. Finally, I save my Rare Candies during gameplay to use here as well, and get everyone on my team to the same level. I do this pretty much every time.

Normally I just adjust the movesets and do a bit of grinding if I'm way underleveled.

I always spend time grinding my entire team to the same level, then travel around the region to collect whatever TM's I need to perfect my team's movesets. Because of this, I sometimes end up a little too well prepared to take on the Elite Four xD

I usually do this, more or less. Except that I typically use all of my Rare Candies on the Pokemon that hits the hardest, or the one I'll primarily be using against the Champion.

Gulpin August 7th, 2014 1:26 PM

Oh yeah, I forgot about my ritual with Rare Candies, which I believe may be unusual. I don't use them unless I have to - what I do is I go through the Elite Four and if I don't beat the Champion on the first try, I just give all of the Rare Candies I have to whichever team member(s) is/are best equipped to deal with the Champion's Pokemon that are giving me problems. Very rarely do I spread them evenly across the entire team, sometimes resulting in a single team member up to four or five levels higher than the rest of the team.

Usually i'm not too ready upon reaching the league, but I tend to go in lower-leveled than them. I'll often attempt to set a certain level i'll go in at (usually ~51/52 for RSE, ~56/57 for FRLG and Platinum, 47 for BW, ~57 for BW2 on Challenge Mode, and 59 or 61 in XY, just for a perspective). I'll stuff down the Rare Candies once I have enough to get me to the level I want. In my Red Mono-Color in Ruby, I had to use a total of 24 Rare Candies (I had four Linoone that I caught as Pickup slaves to help me during training) to get my entire team to Level 51 before entering. After the Elite Four in BW, i'll go to at least Level 50 before N and Ghetsis because of the higher difficulty level compared to other Champions save Cynthia.

As for EV training like jd mentioned, I usually only do that in Wedlockes after adding new recruits to my team. When I reached the league in my White 2 Wedlocke I had two replacements I had to throw in after two deaths during Victory Road, and I had finished (EV) training two more after Ghetsis wiped a pair of mine. If I do have a fresh new catch though, sometimes i'll give it some vitamins.

I finished Pinsir after working on it yesterday and today, Magnemite will be next, followed by Seadra. I'm just really glad that Seismic Toss hits Ghost-types in Gen 1.

Captain Gizmo August 8th, 2014 8:23 AM

I usually just sell everything in my bag and waste my whole wallet for Revives and Full Restore then I use all my vitamins and Rare Candies that I saved up the whole time and use it on the most apporpriate Pokemon^^

Then use my PP Ups on moves I know that I will be using a lot to devastate the E4 and the champion :)

Shouldn't you use vitamins as soon as you get them? They have a better effect earlier in the game I would think.

early game isn't that much of a problem for me unless I got horrible Pokemon to deal with the gym leaders, then I will use the vitamins to boost them up. Besides that I just wait until I get my full team to use them :P

Sydian August 8th, 2014 1:19 PM

I just wanted everyone to know that I will be able to mega evolve in ORAS and this is the greatest news of all time.

Exposure August 8th, 2014 1:22 PM

Hello, everybody.

My name is Exposure and I am a long time lurker (7+ years...) on the PokéCommunity forums. What keeps me interested in Pokémon games for the most part are Nuzlocke runs and other challenge runs. I am planning on taking on a massive challenge to not only push me to my limits but to entertain others.

I am going to be doing a Nuzlocke run (blind, when possible) of many games, including the originals, ROM Hacks (full hacks and "sideshows"), and custom games on their own (Raptor, Reborn, etc.). After this, I will be doing a "catch-'em-all" run in which I catch every Pokémon available, with the help of location guides. Doing both of these things is very rewarding for me and I hope that I have a good time doing it while others enjoy watching and following my progress as well.

The games I have in mind as of now are:

Spoiler:
Pokémon Red
Pokémon Crystal
Pokémon Emerald
Pokémon FireRed
Pokémon Platinum
Pokémon HeartGold
Pokémon Black
Pokémon Black 2
Pokémon White
Pokémon X
-
Pokémon Light Platinum
Pokémon AshGray
Pokémon Flora Sky
Pokémon Liquid Crystal
Pokémon Glazed
Pokémon Adventure - Red Chapter
Pokémon Ruby Destiny - Life of Guardians
Pokémon Shiny Gold
Pokémon Snakewood
Pokémon Dark Rising
Pokémon Ruby Destiny - Reign of Legends
Pokémon Resolute
Pokémon Sienna
Pokémon Brown
Pokémon Ruby Destiny - Rescue Rangers
Pokémon Victory Fire
Pokémon CrystalDust
Pokémon rijonAdventures
Pokémon Ice
Pokémon Normal: Elemental Division
Pokémon DarkViolet
Pokémon Mirage of Tales: A New Age Dawns
-
Pokémon Expert Emerald
Pokémon Blaze Black & Volt White
Pokémon "My Pokémon Mod Collection"
Pokémon FireRed 649 Patch
Pokémon Ultra Violet
Pokémon Yet Another FireRed Hack
Pokémon Blaze Black 2 & Volt White 2
Pokémon Throwback: A Definitive Kanto Experience
Pokémon FireRed: Generations
Pokémon Pikachu
Pokémon Emerald Omega
Pokémon Platinum Deluxe
Pokémon FireRed: The Hard Version
-
Pokémon Raptor
Pokémon Super Eevee Edition
Pokémon Blue Chrome
Pokémon Reborn


If you think there is another game I should include or you have any questions, please let me know. I'd love to hear it :)

Well of course that was to be expected since you became super mod.

Sydian August 8th, 2014 4:34 PM

I became shiny. I guess if I get promoted to admin, I mega evolve? lol

I wonder if shiny Mega Altaria will be different from regular shiny Altaria. I'm kinda hoping for it to either be all gold (wings included), or to have some pink thrown in.

Also, welcome to Challenges Exposure :D Good luck with completing all of your planned challenges!

Sydian August 8th, 2014 6:18 PM

You do realize that if it has pink, I will DIE...right? :D It's already Fairy and that's got me super pumped. For those of you that do have a storage copy, do you plan on moving your stuff over from X or Y onto ORAS? I think I might. With Bank, it will be easier than the old method of trading. I'll at least move my shinies and maybe legendaries. I think I might go for completing my Dex again. I had a lot of fun with that.

And yes, welcome Exposure! You've been lurking longer than I've even been here, haha. Glad to see you've finally joined us. We're only slightly crazy here. :3

Alsoooo I am going to shiny hunt a Heracross soon. It's pink...so yeah. :)

Gulpin August 8th, 2014 6:31 PM

I'm not sure if/what I'll be transferring over to AlphaSapphire.. I may just do enough to complete my Pokedex or something.

Also, today I got to a 50 streak in Super Singles at the Battle Maison to get a gold trainer card, which means I'm a little bit closer to getting back to playing primarily challenges! I took a little break about a month or so ago to 'complete' my copy of X, and that was one of the last things on my list. However, I may try to get every trophy in the Maison now..
