On the plus side, we will be able to use the XY tag again! :P

So you think I should go for it and make a challenge about it? :D
I don't mind giving out the eggs, I already got a ton of them in my bank :P

If you want to, then definitely go for it! I'd make that my next challenge on X after I do a Monotype.

Well I know there are people who have done Egglockes on the hacks such as Sacred Gold, Storm Silver, Blaze Black and Volt White (2), so through emulation i'd imagine there would be some way to create eggs for the DS games on emulators that would work similar to how Egglockes would.

Finally completed my wondertrade challenge. My final team was Dragonite, Gengar, Electrivire, Meowstick and Pidgeott.

I love the GTS. I thought I'd try and trade my Raichu Solo Run Xerneas for a low level legendary, because I still need to complete the dex and they are hard to get for solo runs, so I didn't think it'd work, but wow. I just got a level 1 Dialga, so guess what my next challenge on X is gonna be :)

I have level 5 versions of all the Dream Radar Legends, if you need any of those. Just send me a message if you're interested, as I don't have a trade shop at the moment.

Oh wow, thanks a lot! Once I get around to needing them I'll be sure to let you know. (I might just do them one after the other starting with the Dialga I got earlier)

I finished my solos for Magnemite and Seadra, finally. I'm open to more suggestions! I also think I'm going to finish my Date of Birth challenge, even if the thread is dead :(

EDIT: Someone posted in the DOB Challenge so I can post my update, yay

How about Venomoth? That's one of my favorites!

Just finished Venomoth! Played on Yellow since the movepool was a bit better in the beginning. What shall be my next solo, anyone? Did the math, and with 37/151 solos done, I have completed a quarter of my solos!

On a side note, I think at some point soon, I'm gonna work on some css for my solos blog entry, my completed challenges entry, and one specifically for any of my challenge updates.

Weezing, Dugtrio, or Porygon. Or any pre evolution of said Pokemon.

SubVirus August 17th, 2014 4:02 PM

Solo challenge with weezing and only use self-destruct. gl!

Enigma August 18th, 2014 2:15 PM

I finally finished going through my challenge list in my blog, and made it all pretty. It made me remember that I was doing a purple monocolor, so I think I'm gonna complete that, since it seems to be the only ultimate I can still complete without XY. I need a break from these solos.

bewbs August 19th, 2014 3:32 PM

Retro Queen evolved in my Date Of Birth Challenge. She is now a spiffing Furret. And Petunia the oddish will be evolving soon.

It is possible to get eggs on an emulator (in any generation except the first) through the use of software like PokeGen, a Save Game Editor, or a cheating device (action replay, for example) but I don't know what the rules are regarding those.

Btw I love the new DCC Title lol XD

Well, when StMRyEire did his White Egglocke, he made a video showing how to send eggs, but I don't know which emulator he used it for. You'd have to enter a code and input it there, it seems.

That's all I really know of.

Yeah it looks like he's using PokeGen in the video. It basically creates Pokemon files (literally .pkm files) and allows you to send them to any game of your choice (not X/Y). I'm not exactly sure how to get them on emulators though. I think it would be fine as long as the Pokemon were legal, but I'd check with the rules + Necrum first.

It's certainly plausible. It really depends on what the owner wants to do. The Favorites Challenge is a good example of this. On something as crazy as an all egg team, where trading is an important factor, I would probably let it be gen 6 exclusive. But I wouldn't be opposed to opening it up to more of them.

pokegen can also edit save files, and it works in reverse (.pkm files > pokemon) as well.

Here's a challenge related question I have for some of you. I made a topic about something like this in Pokémon Gaming Central a while back, but here it is anyway:

How are you guys about using healing items in challenges during battle? Will you stall as much as necessary or will you take losses like a pro if your Pokémon are fainting like crazy?

I'd say well over half of challenges i've done that aren't Nuzlockes and Wedlockes I don't use healing items in battle myself, like Monotypes or Mono-Colors. Of the four games i've done for my Ultimate Red Mono-Color (Y, Fire Red, Ruby and White) all four have been without any bag items in battle. How many of you play the same way? Just something i'm curious of.

I will spam the crap out of healing items when I can get a win by doing so that would otherwise be a loss. Generally only happens during E4/Leader battles where I'm at a type disadvantage.

The only exception to that was during my current SS NFE run, my Psyduck needed a lot of help against Bugsy's Scyther.

Necrum August 22nd, 2014 5:35 PM

Yeah it's not like it's my strategy, but if I am underleveled enough and believe I have something on my team that can win the battle, I will spam as many meds as I have, haha!

I just reset if I faint, and use items sparingly, but during the E4 all limits go out the window (I buy 10-15 hyper potions)

Rewy August 23rd, 2014 9:19 AM

Hello all,

Rewy here, returning from the abyss of a broken internet modem.

I've recently struck again by the pokemon gaming interest. And actually for the first time bothered to finish my Pokemon X. More or less speed running everything after Xerneas. It was an amusing run tho'. Every other gym or so I was thinking "argh, screw this I'll just restart..." but eventually I just stuck with it by listening to pod casts, wedlockes and wonderlockes.

I should say that I was rather disappointed with the Champion. Or well the overall difficulty in the end.I had 4 part-dragon types, 1 part-ghost and Dedenne. And the only thing that died was the fairy mouse. *eye-roll* Although that thing was my tank over half the game. :D No megas and 5 items per battle max.
It was fun, but disappointing in the end.

Right now, I'm considering how much I want to get a shiny charm...
