5 Year Challengeversary!
5 years ago, Pokemon General Gaming was flooded with challenge threads. Threads which didn't really belong there, threads that encourages playing as opposed to discussion. Threads that stretched Pokemon as we know it into new forms and shapes. 5 years ago, those threads were gathered up, and moved into a new home. A home that we have all come to know and love as the Challenges Forum. It may not be the most popular forum, but it's ours. And so, I present to you, a retrospective in the form of a Challenge, built on the pieces of Challenges before it. The Anniversary Challenge, or Challengeversary! Da Rules: 1. This challenge is to be played on a main series Pokemon game. If you think you can play the challenge on one of the Gamecube RPGs, those are acceptable as well. 2. No hacking or trading, except where otherwise stated. You may trade for Pokemon that would be otherwise unobtainable in your game, however. 3. You must start the game of your choice from the beginning. 4. In order to complete the challenge, you must complete the Challenge Scavenger Hunt, a series of mini challenges. This can be done post game or during the story. 5. This challenge will end on July 7th, 2015 at Midnight US Pacific time. Sign Up Form: Username: Game: Favorite Challenge: Username: Azazel Game: Pokemon Y Favorite Challenge: The Monotype Challenge The Team: 1.

Game: OmegaRuby Favorite Challenge: Favorite, Random, and Wonderlocke challenges Happy five years to my favorite forum on PC! When I started modding it five years ago today, I had no idea that it would soon become my favorite area of the forum and that such a great community would come out of it. <3 Like Necrum said, it may not be the most popular area on PC, but I'd say we're one of, if not THE, friendliest areas on PC. Thanks to everyone for making it happen! :) Okay, I'll quit being sappy lol. I will come back and edit with my team choices. Still deciding. :) |

Happy 5th anniversary, Challenge forums! I know I'm not here a lot, but 5 years is a long time. I think it deserves the celebration. :D I'll pick a team when I know what to bring. Probably bringing some eggs over from my copy of Platinum or HG. Also, I need to confirm my best friend's other favorite Pokemon since I don't have a Torchic on Gen 4 right now haha. ._." |

Username: DyingWillFlareon Game: Crystal Favorite Challenge: Random Pokemon, and Randomized Nuzlocke! Green and Gold- Meganium of course. :P -is too sappy to not use a starter- Valentine- I'll ask my sister in the morning. She said Smeargle. Fishy- Vaporeon. Challegg- The random egg that has a chance to be 8 different Pokemon/higher shiny rate you know the one. Challoweenie- Scizor. Wanted to use Tyranitar buuutt.... >.> no blade moves... [REDACTED]- Love what you did there. Anyhow, I was thinking Togetic, it reminds me of a bunny rabbit, but I dunno if you guys agree. Also, would Metronome count as risky for being able to self-destruct? .-. If it doesn't count I'll find something. |
any chance we can hack for evolutions that happen after the Champion? Really would like to get a Shiny Stone to evolve Togekiss before the Elite Four.

He later became fresher and evolved into Grovyle. Gyo the Bagon proved annoying to hatch, but at least she's here. A little hard to raise, but she'll be a beautiful rampaging butterfly someday. AppleBunny traveled a long journey from the beautiful Unova and is finally getting a chance to shine. I knew that saving that Liberty Garden Victini would be useful someday...plus it's a favorite of mine...and a bunny...it totally is a bunny. Anyway, with Verdigris and Gyo, I made it past Roxanne with relative ease. AppleBunny joined afterwards when we landed in Dewford where we're currently training to take on Brawly. Not much else to say there! Unfortunately, the next party member won't be joining us until we're nearing six badges. Ugh. I did this to myself, though. |

Love In The Clouds - The Valentine -Favorite Pokemon of your friend [My best friend is not into pokemon and neither is my gf]- One of my friends likes teddiursa the most though but since I'd have to hack that in and since I am not sure if it's ok to hack it in I ll go with my other friend - who likes Eevee the most - so Eevee it is. 3. The Fish Challenge - The Fish Seaking! I've never ever used Seaking before so this should be interesting :3 4. Challeggs - Eggcellent! Can I randomly generate an egg or something? Or breed a random couple? I cannot trade since I am playing on an emulator and there are no eggs you receive in this game. 5. Challoween/Haunter and the Carnival of Horrors - The Slasher Scyther or Parasect- not sure if Parasect would count. 6. Five Nights at Challenges - [REDACTED] Would spinda count? XD It looks like a rabbit to me - or an azumarill - that is if I can hack either of them in - if not I am not sure which would be the rabbit like pokemon in FR/LG games O.o |
AoTora, I'd say that the "RBGY users may use a Pokemon who received a baby form in future games." applies in FRLG, considering the need to have beaten the League to access the only egg in the game (AND the daycare), and... I dunno, but maybe wigglytuff counts as a rabbit with those ears?

I'm going to put a quick update here. I started a bit belated because I had to figure out how to get both Lotad and Zangoose in one game and breeding a male Lapras took way too long.

Didn't take much effort. After realizing that the other half of my team wouldn't come til about 5 badges in, I caught Poisson the Goldeen to fill in until I can get that Finneon I wanted. Who knows? I might keep it for good. We'll see. After getting the lil fishie to catch up with everyone else, we took on Wattson...another failure compared to his RSE self. But what can ya do? Smashed some rocks and we're off to see what's going on at Mt. Chimney. Also I'm trying to bum rush this. |
So since a fair number of us aren't looking like we're gonna be done before the end of the month, do you guys want me to extend this challenge?
|
up to you, tbh i'm surprised so few people actually finished i mean i did it in like 3-4 days (granted i have no life and spend too much time gamign but thats nitpicking)
|
An extension would be appreciated because I don't think I'm going to make it. One week would be enough for me, allowing me to focus on my exams first and finish the challenge next weekend.
|
If you choose to extend the challenge would you still accept sign ups?
If so: username: trotz59 Game: SoulSilver Favorite Challenge: Monotype Team: Green & Gold - Tyranitar or Xatu The Valentine - Lickylicky Fish - Lanturn Eggcellent - Togekiss or Magcaro Slasher - Heracross. [REDACTED] - Nidoking |
I'm fine with an extension. I didn't have as much time as I thought I would earlier in the month due to work and a vacation, but now I kinda got laid off so I've had all the time in the world this past week that I spent playing other Pokemon games, but I could bum rush. :P Attempting it as I type this, actually.

Mini update: Since my other challenge had me playing Yellow yesterday, a game I've already completed, I spent most of the day blazing through this challenge and made it from the Jagged Pass all the way to Route 120, where I'm leveling up my latest party member, Absol. I'll probably squeeze in some play time tonight maybe, but my game for today for my other challenge is Silver and that one isn't done (actually recently restarted) sooooooo...
Anyway, my whole team is level 41 except for Absol, who is at 38. |
Update:
I just went back to New Bark Town to catch Chinchou, and to stop by the ruins of alph to smash some rocks (where I received an Old Amber). I'm on my way to go face Morty.

Ah crap I was rather busy this month with mafia and apparently I lost my DS and just recently found it whoops. Give us a week extension and I think I can complete it. ;_:

Update:
I'm at the Team Rocket Hideout in Mahogany currently. I went back because it's Tuesday to compete in the bug catching contest and caught paras and won. Since my last update, I've defeated Morty, Chuck, and Jasmine. I've also finally gotten all but one of my party members (Lickitung can't be got until after I defeat Pryce).

So today is the last day officially...are we extended or...?
|
Okay, I'll extend the deadline by one week. But I recommend finishing asap, as there is going to be a GT challenge event as well, and you wouldn't want to burn yourself out!
|
Definitely not playing OmegaRuby for the GT one. I don't know what it is about gen VI games, but I have the hardest time replaying them. :/

Continued my adventure, I just beat Claire, so am about to get Dratini :). Also won the Jackpot in game corner :D

I caught Suicune in a Pokeball. Update: Got my Dratini with Extremespeed, grinded up my team to level 40, encountered Entei inbetween, so caught it with my Master Ball.

Then I beat the pokemon league ;D. Quick update on the E4: Will: Scizor and Lanturn completely devastated him together. Koga: Wigglytuff with Fire Punch and Scizor for Muk and Crobat Bruno: Meganium using Reflect, his Machamp was tricky, had to paralyze him with Lanturn, but he kept getting criticals, until Scizor finally killed him. Karen: Never been challenging, just swapped in the proper Pokemon to every of hers. Then used all my Rare Candies and evolved Dragonair into Dragonite and murdered Lance with Dragonite's Ice Punch. Team: Azumarill lvl 40 Waterfall Ice Punch Double-Edge Rollout Wigglytuff lvl 40 Body Slam Thunderpunch Ice Punch Fire Punch Scizor lvl 42 Slash Metal Claw Fury Cutter Swords Dance Meganium lvl 41 Razor Leaf Strength Earthquake Reflect Lanturn lvl 40 Surf Spark Thunder wave Confuse Ray Dragonite lvl 55 Surf Fly Ice Punch Thunder Wave All tasks done too, so I'm done with the challenge :) |
So I'm quickly saying I've finished it today. I hope it's okay if I post my team and screenshots tomorrow.
|
I'm rushing to complete the challenge tonight.
General Tasks -Defeat the Elite Four + Champion or Ghetsis -Catch a non-mandatory Legendary Pokemon without a Master Ball -Revive a Fossil -Raise a Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon to its final stage -Complete an in-game trade -Catch a stationary non-legendary Pokemon -Win a Bug Catching Contest -Win a Pokeathelon event |
I've been so busy that I don't think I'm gonna finish this. I would be closer but then I forgot my charger in town a couple days ago. Gonna see how far I can get today.
|
I'm probably not going to finish this. I don't know what it is about gen VI games, but I just...don't enjoy playing them very much. :/ It's hard for me to just get engrossed in them and play for more than an hour like I can with older games.
Anyway though, since it looks like a lot of us are not going to finish, if those of you that didn't finish would still like a Swablu, I'd be more than happy to trade one to you. My FC is in the 3DS postbit if you hover over it. If you see me online here on PC, then I'm likely available to trade with you, so just shoot me a message. :) I don't mind doing nicknames as well provided you ask when you message me about receiving your Swablu. I won't give away certain genders or natures though, sorry. Thanks to everyone that participated, whether you finished or not! You're all a part of what makes this section great and kept it around for five years. I hope I'll still be here in five more years to celebrate another major milestone. :) Everyone go give Azazel a pat on the back for setting this event up. And thanks again for letting me plan this with you, Necrum. :) PS: Everyone go play the GT event now. ;) |

The only Pokémon I had at that point were Marill and Lombre (and an egg). All of Patty's moves weren't very effective on Magnemite and Magneton (Absorb, Astonish, Fake Out and Swift (Nature Power)). I had to grind by beating level 13 wild Pokémon and raised Jonnie to a level 28 Azumarill whose Bubblebeam was pretty useful, along Patty in lv32. Still it wasn't easy, but I managed to beat him using a super potion, paralyze heal and a quick claw on Jonnie. It went a lot easier for a while then. Matthew (Torkoal) joined the party at the Fiery Path, followed by Slasher (Zangoose) on Route 114 and the hatching of Junior (Larvitar), who didn't have any attacks until level 23 in which she learned Rock Slide. (I chain bred Dragon Dance from Kingdra via Lapras and Rain Dance and Protect came along). In troublesome situations the high-leveled Jonnie and Patty could assist. With two strong water types, Flannery was a piece of cake to beat. Norman wasn't very hard either. Instead of using my whole team, I decided to make Matthew spam Curse in the double amount of turns thanks to Slaking's Truant, use one healing item and finish all Norman's Pokémon with Body Slam. The ability to surf outside enabled it to get a good rod and catch my last team member, Fishy the Barboach. Winona didn't provide any trouble at all. I skipped the Gym and went to Lilycove City first, on the way back, Matthew learned Flamethrower and Fishy and Junior evolved into Whiscash and Pupitar respectively. You wouldn't expect Tate and Liza to give any trouble to a team that has three Pokémon knowing Surf in it. Well, think again. Solrock knows Sunny Day. I wouldn't have made it (without using medicines) if Junior didn't know Rain Dance to counter it. Patty's Swift Swim came in handy too. I continued the story, wrecked Team Magma, captured a Groudon (named it Force), beat Wallace and passed through the Victory Road. The Elite Four wasn't easy, Phoebe's Dusclops were really annoying. It would've been a lot easier if I were allowed to learn Shadow Ball to Slasher, but it doesn't count as a blade move. Glacia was easy, Slasher can use Swords Dance twice and use Slash to one-hit her first three Pokémon. The shell bell heals damage nicely and allow another use of Swords Dance against the second Glalie. After that Walrein can't survive a Slash either. The same worked for Drake, but I used Junior's Dragon Dance instead (Shelgon is too occupied with using Rock Tomb and protect to actually damage her). Steven requires some medicines to beat, but I used the same tactic, but with Matthew's Curse and Amnesia. Building up defense needs to full restores to get rid of the toxic poison Skarmory gives and one hyper potion is used later on. This worked fine if it wasn't for Cradily, which raised all of its stats twice with Ancient Power, but a retry made me Champion. Some of the tasks were easy, some weren't. Reviving a fossil, catching Kecleon, building a secret base and in-game trading didn't take much effort. I caught Rayquaza on the fourth try, but none of the battles were really long, as my Pokémon have terrible levels compared to the legendary dragon. Junior still wasn't a Tyranitar upon entering the Hall of Fame, but rematching the Elite Four twice while she holds an experience share did the thing. Most problematic side quest was winning the contest. Jonnie has a decent moveset for tough contests, but I think I'm using the wrong berries for Pokéblocks. I fed him yellow blocks until he had enough and he only got five stars, while the opponents in Master Rank all have seven or eight. Anyway I won after some tries, but I don't really like contests, or at least not having to do them with a Pokémon suited for normal battles. Final team http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/emerald/ludicolo.png Patty (♂), lv49, Swift Swim @Amulet coin Surf, Giga Drain, Fake Out, Ice Beam http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/emerald/azumarill.png Jonnie (♂), lv48, Huge Power @Sea incense Surf, Rollout, Strength, Double Edge http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/emerald/torkoal.png Matthew (♂), lv55, White Smoke @Quick claw Flamethrower, Body Slam, Curse, Amnesia http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/emerald/zangoose.png Slasher (♀), lv55, Immunity @Shell bell Slash, Swords Dance, Crush Claw, Fury Cutter http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/emerald/tyranitar.png Junior (♀), lv56, Sand Stream @Hard stone Rock Slide, Dragon Dance, Earthquake, Crunch http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/emerald/whiscash.png Fishy (♂), lv47, Oblivious @Soft sand Surf, Earthquake, Amnesia, Rest Tasks: 8/8 -Defeat the Elite Four + Champion or Ghetsis Done -Catch a non-mandatory Legendary Pokemon without a Master Ball Rayquaza -Complete an in-game trade Pikachu for Skitty -Revive a Fossil Root fossil -Catch a stationary non-legendary Pokemon Kecleon -Raise a Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon to its final stage Junior (Tyranitar) -Build a Secret Base and fully decorate it Done -Win a Master Rank Contest Tough with Jonnie Spoiler: Screenshots
Lastly, thank you Azazel, for the event. I had fun playing it! And thank you, Alli, for offering the Swablu. Sadly I don't have a 3DS, so I can't accept it, but I still appreciate the offer. |
If anyone wants to post they have until I beat the Elite Four tonight (I will and need to finish this). I will count any completes before then. I am currently on Victory Road.
|
I beat the Elite Four!
Spoiler:
Well the event is now over. I'll give out emblems within the week. Thank you all for playing! To five more years of Challenges! |
so what happened with this?
