The Stewardship Challenge
An idea for a challenge came about from my friend and I discussing Pokémon. He pointed out that, as trainers, we beat wild Pokémon into unconsciousness, and then walk away. Not only would the Pokémon (like Caterpie) be defenseless against predators (like Pidgey), but any aquatic Pokémon would likely drown. Imagine all the dead Psyduck floating in Ilex Forest
Now don't worry, I'm not on an anti-Pokémon crusade here. But it got me thinking. Thus I present the Stewardship Challenge: 1- You may not faint wild Pokémon, except where neccesary for story progression (forced battles that you can't run from). 2- You may not inflict wild Pokémon with burn, poison, or curse. You may inflict wild Pokémon with sleep, freeze, or paralysis if you are attempting a capture and you have some Poké Balls with you. This challenge is intended for X/Y, due to the new Capture Exp, but feel free to sign up with whatever game you like. There are two difficulty levels: Ranked and Ace. In Ranked mode, you begin with 100 points. You lose one point for each wild Pokémon you KO. A point is also lost for inflicting burn, poison, or curse. Your final score is based on points remaining: 95-100 points is an A; 85-94 points is a B; 75-84 points is a C; 50-74 points is a D; 1-49 points is an E; 0 points is an F. In Ace mode, you start with six points instead. A final score of 1-6 gets you an S rank; 0 or less is an F. Sign up by posting which Game you're playing and which Mode you've chosen! Quote:

Update
KOs: 5 Total Points Lost: 6 Pokémon Caught: 22 Failed Captures: 0 Badges: 1 Damage report: I accidentally Burned a Bunnelby, which immediately fainted. KO'd a Weedle from spamming the attack button. Unlucky crit on a Pikachu. There was more that I don't really remember. Current Team: Lucy the Fennekin Lax Female Lv 15 Scratch - Flame Charge - Ember - Howl Pikachu Lonely Female Lv 11 Quick Attack - Thunder Shock - Growl - Play Nice Fletchling Jolly Male Lv 5 Tackle - Growl |
Game: Soulsilver
Mode: Ace This is gonna be hard, especially since there is only a limited amount of trainers to beat for xp. I think I might go with a grass type theme, like I'm a 'healer' |

Update KOs: 5 Total Points: 6 Pokemon Caught: 48 Failed Captures: 4 Badges: 1 Current Team: Lucy the Fennekin Lax Female Lv 19 Scratch - Flame Charge - Psybeam - Ember Pikachu Lonely Female Lv 16 Quick Attack - Thunder Shock - Thunder Wave - Play Nice Ril-chan the Azurill Bold Female Lv 13 Bubble - Bubblebeam - Charm - Water Sport Zigzagoon Hasty Female Lv 9 Growl - Tackle Tail Whip - Headbutt Ledyba Gentle Female Lv 12 Tackle - Supersonic - Comet Punch Azurill is quite helpful. Its low offense and high defense help me to avoid KOs. I like Ledyba for the same reason, but she will be replaced with Nincada soon, because False Swipe. Zigzagoon is with me because of Pickup, and it may end up carrying Strength and Rock Smash. |
This looks like a fun challenge. I hate even battling wild Pokémon anyway.
Game: Omicron Mode: Ranked Um a couple of suggestions, I would probably remove the X/Y tag on the thread, since it's clearly applicable to most games. Also, Repels are allowed, right? I would assume so, since the whole gist of this challenge is to avoid confronting wild Pokémon in the first place. Also, you said nothing about it in the OP, so... I'll update/play when I can! :) EDIT: When I said Zeta, I meant Omicron. If you don't know what those are, they're fan-made games on RPG Maker with its own plot line and region. |

But yeah, the only rule is not to KO, Burn, Poison, or Curse wild Pokémon. |

Well, I'm eight badges in. Here's the stats:
KOs: 11 Total Points: 12 Pokemon Caught: 105 Critical Captures: 4 Failed Captures: 38 Badges: 8 Thanks to the exp share, I was able to rely only on battles for XP after my fourth badge or so. In other words, I stopped catching stuff about halfway through. I will probably finish up soon. This could have been much more difficult if I had turned the exp share off, and had not used any banked Pokémon. |
I never did go back and catch more stuff, so my final rank is a 'B'. Not too shabby hehe.
I probably won't run this again anytime soon, so it's up to y'all to keep it alive if you like it :] |
