Happy Holidays, Pokecommunity! And especially to all of my challengers out there who have been waiting for this. In past years this time of year has resulted in several Christmas challenges, but this year we're changing it up! Hanukkah challenge, anyone?

Rules
1. In order to complete this challenge, you must earn 8 badges and defeat the Champion of your region (Or Ghetsis in B/W)
2. By the time you challenge the Champion, you must have all six of the team requirements filled by different Pokemon.
3. Mega Evolution, Pokemon Amie, and trading/hacking in team members, within reason and legal, are all permitted for this challenge. Mega Stones and evolution items may also be traded in if they do not appear during the story.

Team
1. By Light of Fire: A Pokemon with a single burning flame on any of its family (Charizard, Chandelure etc)

Planned team, as of right now:

2. Drilbur line
3. Still in the air but probably Meinshao
4. Alomomola (the other 5th gen support Pokemon. I will probably regret this.)
5. Sawsbuck or however the hell it's spelled. The Deerling evo. That one.
6. Starting with Tepig line (because pig), but gonna swap it out for ICE CREAM POKEMON as soon as I can.

I named my Tepig "Ham". Mmm. Ham.

Lol I'm so happy someone saw that. But I do think that Gardevoir is a decent Pokemon. ;) :t282:

Thanks to the efforts of jdthebud, molivious, and waters_echo, I now have an idea of what could be used in gen 1 and 2, where there is no double battle stuff to support. In gens 1 and 2 you are free to be very loose with interperting this rule. Basically look for a way to make support happen, be creative if you're gonna play those games.

I'll switch out Blaziken for Infernape, I guess. Thanks for The info anyways! :D

I already started the challenge. I hacked the ROM to change the wild encounters on Route 103 in order to obtain my whole team at level 2-4 and 5 for Cyndaquil.

Game: Sapphire
Current Location: Route 116 (East of Rustboro City)
Badges: 0
Progress:
-Chose Torchic as first Pokémon, named it Starter
-Beat May on Route 103
-Caught Eevee (Company), Machop (Mattathias), Cyndaquil (Light) and Delibird (Santa) and ran out of Pokéballs while trying to catch a Tauros
-Stored Starter in the PC
-Moved through Petalburg Woods to Rustboro City
-Bought 20 Pokéballs and walked back to Route 103
-Caught a Zigzagoon on the go (named it Fielder)
-Caught a Staryu (Spin Time!) and a Tauros (Roastbeef)

Forum Name: Waters_Echo
Game Version: Crystal (with update via. Randomiser, but not randomised)
Holiday: Uh. Not any, really, and saying "Winter Solstice" would be a decided lie, seeings as it is Summer here now

1. By Light of Fire: Typhlosion (fireneck)
2. Spin the Dreidal: Forretress (sppppiiinniinnnggg)
3. Maccabee: Gyarados (such power!)
4. Coming together: Lapras (safeguard all the allies!) (or barrier tentacruel. Hmm) (... lapras with safeguard and rain dance to protect and empower allies!)
5. That Not-Jewish Friend: Exeggutor (Palm tree. Palm tree fits pretty well with the fact that it is summer, right?)
6. Feast of Dedication: uh... uuhhh... uhm. Pilo... swine?

I think I will name the lapras in honour of the thunderstorm we had about two days ago.
Let's see if I can get TM25 from the game corner to make it a safeguard/raindance/thunder moveset...
