The Dex Holders' Challenge
This is a Challenge meant to be difficult, but customizable. Make it whatever difficulty you'd like, with whatever rules you'd like! Read on....
The Dex Holder's Challenge The idea for this challenge is to play through a series of quests by the Dex Holders from the Pokemon Adventures/Special manga! Don't worry, you don't have to have read it before to play. Each Dex Holder will have given you a challenge of either beating the game or a side quest to fulfil, some very simple, some incredibly challenging. Rules: 1 You may choose however many challenges you are doing, including multiple ones from different regions. 2 You can choose whether or not you want to post screenshots, but please at least update even with just the final results of each Challenge. 3 The challenges do not have to be in the order I wrote them in for National etc, it's just easier to follow if you go by this so you can mark them off. But its fine to do them in any order. 4 Concerning the ones that say 'No HM Slaves', think carefully about your team. It does not need to be only 6 Pokemon, since some people prefer more than 6 to train, but do be careful to follow that. If you decide to only use 6, and end up forgetting a certain HM was needed, use it in the next Gym/Rival Battle! >8D (Or just train it lol.) 5 Follow all the normal Pc rules. :) 6. Hexoc has been doing more than one challenge at once, dunno why I didn't think of that, but it's a reccomended choice if youre up for that! The Challenges go by each Region, and not all the Challenges strictly follow their Ability, it may follow their personality. Kanto Spoiler:

WHEN YOUR CHALLENGE IS FINISHED: RGBY: Capture/Beat Mewtwo GSC: Beat Red RS: Capture/Beat Rayquaza FRLG: Clear Island 5 of Team Rocket E: Beat Steven and Rayquaza DP: Capture/Beat Giratina PT: Capture/Beat Dialga and/or Palkia HGSS: Beat Red BW: Capture/Beat Kyurem BW2: Capture/Beat N's Dragon XY: Capture/Beat Zygarde ORAS: Complete Delta Episode Of course, as an easy mode alternative(suggested for multiple challenges): RGBYFRLG: Beat Champion GSCHGSS: Beat Lance RSORAS: Beat Steven E: Beat Wallace DPPt: Beat Cynthia BW: Beat Ghetsis BW2: Beat Iris XY: Beat AZ Lack-Two(Rakutsu), Whi-Two(Faitsu), X, Y, Sun, and Moon have no Challenge as of yet, so they will get one when more Arcs are revealed. National Challenges will be counted as Former National Challenges until their's are also completed once they have more story in English. No specific games need to be played. Not every Challenge can be done in every game, RBY for example has no Contests or happiness stat. So feel free to use Emerald for all if possible but you can also use each game from the Dex Holder the challenge belongs to. :) It would be nice if you state which game you played for which challenge, hacks are allowed too if they fit with the criteria stated in said challenge. :) Spoiler: Your application should look like this:

Ok - I like the idea of this so I am going to do all the challenges yay :D

I wanted to do an update after I finished the first challenge but I'll go ahead and update anyways.
Battler: FireRed ROM. I chose Charmander, because Charizard is the most popular of the three. He evolved after the fight with Brock, which took one try. We caught a NidoranM outside of Pewter and he evolved in Mt. Moon. We also caught an Abra putside of Cerulean Cape, and Nidorino evolved again after learning Horn Attack. Abra evolved soon after. Hoping for an easy battle against Misty..... Team: http://media.pldh.net/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/005.gif%5B/IMG%5D Char the Timid Charmeleon Level 22 Male Scratch Smokescreen Ember Metal Claw http://media.pldh.net/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/034.gif%5B/IMG%5D Nido the Mild Nidoking Level 22 Male Horn Attack Peck(exchanging for Rock Slide or Megahorn later) Focus Energy Double Kick http://media.pldh.net/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/064.gif%5B/IMG%5D Abby the Serious Kadabra Level 16 Female Teleport Confusion. |
Took some time to find my tablet for challenges but we finally did it.
Short Update: I grinded Abby a little til I got bored, wasted all my money on potions, and went to beat Misty.meat Bisty She killed us off too many times but I already had mo money anyways, so I used Abby against her Staryu for quick experience. Eventually we killed her Starymie and packed up for Vermillion City.

Not sure whether or not it's ok to triple post as owner and it's been over a month but if not please tell me. -.-

Slightly skipped Misty's Gym as Charmeleon on his own would struggle, so went down to Vermilion City and got the old rod, I now have a Magikarp and a Diglett from Digletts Cave.
Team: Magikarp (Gentle) Lv7 Female Splash Diglett (Naive) Lv21 Female Growl Magnitude Dig Fury Swipes Charmeleon (Mild) Lv29 Male Scratch Growl Ember Metal Claw I saved a few trainers to use to get Magikarp up a bit, will use those and then take on Misty, even though Diglett and Charmeleon are both weak to water type, they should be strong enough to get the win. |
Went to SS Anne, killed rival's pokemon beat rival, taught CUT to Nidoking, (Char needs Fly later on sooooo he couldn't learn it!) and beat Lt Surge. BUT WAIT. I got pumped for the battle because I went in to the gym, beat the trainer for exp, then got the first AND second lock on the first try and I'm so pleased with myself~. Then I used Nido because everyone uses Ground types at his gym. XD Eveyone is almost level 30 I believe.
|
got distracted from this with the task of making an all Rotom team to battle a friend, only update is that I still haven't gone back to fight Misty, but I have caught an Abra which means I'm grinding a Magikarp and Abra up to the point where they can learn an attack which is by far the most tedious thing I have ever done.

Update 1: Beginning to Dewford
Note I am doing both of my Challenges at once for a huge challenge Selected Starter, choice between Larvaitar, Treeko, and Zubat, chose Larvaitar, now known as Vivian. May has Treeko to counter Vivian later on, but it was useless against me now. Caught Web Browsr the Pidgey and Aquarion the Lotad before heading to Petalburg. After Petalburg, caught I the Diglett just outside of PB, and Rao the Vulpix right after starting PB woods. Removed Web Browsr from the team for now to make room for Rao. Skipped gym to get a bit of extra training done and caught our lead, President the Slakoth. Finished training and faced Roxanne. Roxanne had a nasty surprise in the form of a Selfdestructing Pineco, Vivian barely survived. Her ace, a Nidorino, KO'd I before the final blow could land, but Rao finished it off. Her remaining Mareep was no trouble. Aqua Grunt and May 2 were no trouble. Currently in Dewford. The Team Active Members -President the Relaxed Slakoth -Rao the Naive Vulpix -Vivian the Serious Larvaitar -I the Modest Larvaitar -Aquarion the Quiet Slakoth Permanent Members -President the Relaxed Slakoth Long Term Members -Vivian the Serious Larvaitar -I the Modest Diglett -Rao the Naive Vulpix Short Term Members -Aquarion the Quiet Lotad Reserves -Web Browsr the Bashful Pidgey Also, let me know if I should use Spoiler tag for future updates to conserve space in the team section. |

Ok guys if you're doing National/Unova(I don't remember how many are doing what....) please reread them as I've updated them because they sounded like a regular game. Just a little update. ^^

Since I don't have regular access to the internet right now, I make my updates in advance, so this means DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!!
Update 2 Spoiler:
Update 3 Spoiler:

Powered through the game, and my pre-prepared updates somehow got deleted, so I'll do this as fast as possible. Firery Path, Caught Kazammle the Alakazam. Beat Maxie and Flannery Easily. Norman fell easily as well. Route 118, Caught Elaine the Wailord. Removed Buddy and Sahara from the team, added Kazammle and Elaine. Winnoa easy. Went Through Mt. Pyre and Magma Hideout with not trouble. Caught Casey the Quilava in Safari Zone, replaced Vivian with Casey. Had much training before Liza and Tate, and beat them easily. Ploughed through the Rest of the main game with ease. Challenged and beat Rayquaza easily. Cleared out Match Call and went to steven, Fair Challenge, but I came out on top. Run Over.

Gonna take some time off from this challenge for a few Others(Hunger Games Challenge and Slakoth Only runof Emerald) but will be back and will likely do a Regional Challenge next. Have one question for future runs, do ROM hacks just need to be capable of fulfilling a challenge requirement to be used in a run? It looks like that is what you have in the rules, but never hurts to be sure.

Light Platinum
Challenges: Trainer's Challenge (5 blackouts, its a long game) Exchanger's Challenge Empathizer's Challenge Update 1: Selected Light Platinum due to it having a gift pokemon in nearly every town and city making it perfect for the Exchanger's Challenge. To add difficulty, shoved in Trainer's Challenge so I don't have a perfect team of gift pokemon. Empathizer's is there to knock out one more. Must clear the game's two pokemon leagues and world championship. Selected Charamander as starter and ditched him since I didn't feel like using a Charizard again.

National Progress (1/15) |
Entry #1
I wake up from a long slumber excited that I'm going to get my first Pokémon My two best friends Cheren and Bianca come running through my door with a package containing three pokemon. because it was my birthday they let me pick my pokemon first. I picked Oshowott because I have always liked water type pokemon. Bianca chose tepig and then Cheren picked Snivy. I was suddenly got asked to battle by Bianca and Cheren I quickly beat them both and then we headed to professor Juniper's lab. At the lab she gave us all a pokedex and she taught us how to catch wild pokemon. She also gave us five pokeballs each. now I was left alone on route 1 with my Oshowott that I named ShellBurn. At the end of route 1 I found my first pokemon, lillipup, I caught him and named her Penelope . I made my way to Accumula town and had a strange encounter the a group called team Plasma and had a battle with a strange guy named N. after the battle I trained my pokemon a bit and then I took a nap. While I was taking a nap I was told if my pokemons health reaches 0 they will die and I can only catch the first pokemon on each route and if I don't beat the champion he will kill my Mom and my Dad and if I loose a single pokemon battle I would be killed. I wake up scared listen to his instructions. I made my way down to Route 2 where I encountered a purloin, with my mom and dads life on the line, I knew I had to catch this pokemon. For some reason the purloine didn't fight and went into a single pokemon, I named her Bella. I found out she didn't like to battle so I respected her wishes and kept her as a friend, not a fighter.when I got to Striaton citywere I found myself in a battle with cheren and Bianca, I esily beat them, after the battles I went to the dream yard to triand where a little girl gave me the fire monker pansear to help my oshowatts weakness to grass.i named him flaming poo because he poops fire. after I obtained fire poo I challenge the gym leader Cilan were I almost lost flaming poo to a pansage but I was able to beat him and get the Trio badge and that's all that happened so far ill make sure to keep this updated. Team Oshowatt Lillipup pansear purloine I am playing this game on the ds so it will take some time |
I'll join! Not sure if I'll get to this right away or not, or which challenge I'll start with, but it sounds like fun.
