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.
|
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!
|
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).
|
I put all my challenges on hold atm x.x I'm in a not pokemon mood I guess .-.
|
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. =( |

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 =/ |
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 .-. |
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.
|
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'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.
|
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

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. :(
|
Quote:
|
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. -__- |
Btw, did Syd forget to update the Ultimate Gym Leader challenge thread? Her last update was on January 1st xD
|
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?
|
Quote:
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 |
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
|
But you male awesome challenge threads and event tho :D
|
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: |
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:/
|
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
|
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 |
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.
|
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 :/ )

Someone give me a team in Location challenge DX seriously x.x
|
Quote:
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 |
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
|
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! |
6 vs 6 me. No items, Final Destination, only Ditto.
|
Quote:
|
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.
|

Quote:
...Eventually, I have yet to get started. lol Quote:
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 |
Quote:
|
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. |
Quote:
|
Is the "i" instead of the o supposed to be a typo or is there some reference i'm not getting? :P
|
Quote:

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 |

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 |
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. |
Quote:
|
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. |

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

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

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. |
Quote:
On that note, anyone have any suggestions for the next Pokemon to do? |
Quote:
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. |

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! |

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^^ |

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.
|
Quote:
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. |
Quote:
|
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 :) |

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.

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:
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 :) |

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

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