The RNG type challenge
 
Hello everyone! My name is Supersatan25, and this is my idea for a challenge for any pokemon game hacked or not. Now this challenge uses a RNG (random number generator for those who don't know) outside of the game to determine the numbers you will get. This will be explained in the rules. Here is the website for the RNG. randomnumbergenerator.com

Rules:
1. go to the above website and have the website randomly select a number between 1 and 18. Do this a total of 6 times.
2. the number you get will correspond to a type from the list below.
3. if the number you get corresponds to a type that doesn't exist in the game you are playing, roll again.
4. once you have all of your types you should pick 6 different pokemon (no duplicates of type or pokemon) that correspond to each type but not necessarily in the order you rolled the numbers. (ex: if you got fire, ice, and ground, you don't need to get those types in that order. You would just need to have those types before the E4) You can only use those six pokemon so choose wisely
5. you can catch a pokemon that isn't your type as long as it evolves into your type by the time you get to the E4
6. you can get your pokemon in anyway you want to as long as it's in game. (no hacked in events or wifi trades. they have to be caught within the game or traded from an NPC)
EDIT: you can trade to evolve
7. you should have at least one type from your results before you get your 2nd badge. This should be doable.
8. the game is over when you have beaten the champion or final battle in your game. (ie: red in silver/gold)
9. dual type pokemon have special rules. They will be explained later.
10. you can use an HM slave. it doesn't have to be any of the types that you got due to the fact that It will only be used for HMs
11. Your starter does not have to count as one of your types but must be used until you get one of your types and must be boxed henceforth

Versions of challenge:
There are different ways you can play this challenge. They are as follows.
1. the above rules apply to the normal mode.
2. the second version of the normal mode allows for same typings and pokemon however this is intended for those who want an easier experience.
3. Nuzlocke v1: You can only catch the first pokemon you see of your type. If it runs or gets KOd, you have to find another pokemon of that type. If you go through all the pokemon of that type without catching one, you can start over in your search.
4. Nuzlocke v2: you can pick ahead of time what pokemon of your type you want capture but you can only capture that one pokemon. you can also search for it as many times as you need to in order to catch it.
5. Nuzlocke v3: mix of v1 and v2. the first pokemon of your type you find must be caught but can be searched for as much as needed.
PLEASE READ: ( in nuzlocke versions the starters don't have to count as your first type encounter if the starters are one of the types assigned to you)

Dual type rulings:
1. dual types can be used but they can only count for one type. (Ex: gloom is poison/grass. if you got numbers for a grass and a poison it can't count for both.)
2. normal dual types: if you get a number for normal, it has to be purely normal. It can't be a normal dual type. HOWEVER, if the type you get is paired with normal that's fine. (say you get normal: it has to be monotype; say you get psychic: you can get girafarig as it's physic as well as normal.) (normal/flying dual types are exempt from this rule since they are so common but still follows rule 1.
3. if you have a dual type you can use one move from it's other half (you chose gloom to be your grass type, so you are allowed to use one poison move.)
4. if you catch a pokemon that evolves into a duel type you use the types it had when it was caught. (Magikarp is an exception as it learns nothing useful until it evolves. however you can still use it as a water type if you wish.

there are also two modes:
standard: play through one game
ultimate: play through all six gens using the same types you recieved

number list:
1-fire
2-water
3-grass
4-electric
5-psychic
6-steel
7-dark
8-fairy
9-fighting
10-normal
11-ghost
12-bug
13-flying
14-dragon
15-ground
16-rock
17-poison
18-ice

When you say no duplicates of types do u mean no Pokemon can have the same type?

Exactly that. But if you had two pokemon that were dual type and they were the same dual type, you could use one for one type and the other for the other type. (ie: two grass/poison types. one could count for grass and the other could count for poison.) however you can't do the above with the same pokemon meaning you cant have two of the same dual type pokemon count for different types. although this only applies to the normal and nuzlocke versions. Hope this cleared things up!

Update:
So I finally got started on my challenge and so far I've caught a spearow as my flying type. I started with a bulbasaur and used it to catch my spearow in route 22. I named the spearow Hugo and released bulbasaur. I planned on catching a nidoran(m) in route 22 as well but I forgot that nidoran can't be caught there like it could be in red and blue. To make matters worse I have to beat brock first to catch it in route 3, meaning I have to face a rock type gym with a flying type. Grinding time!

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen3/frlg/021.png
Hugo the serious spearow
caught at level 3 on route 22 now level 11
keen eye
peck, growl, leer

Supersatan25 October 20th, 2015 9:39 AM

I should probably get back to this challenge haha. For the most i've been doing other challenges. Also I need to grind some more so I can get past the first gym. That's what I get for choosing a flying type as my first pokemon......

I got part of your question in the email, or heck even the whole thing I'm not sure lol. But yes you can. To all the other hacks too. Have fun!

phantomness November 5th, 2015 8:49 AM

Sorry for the confusion, I got Steel initially and changed it to dragon just in case you didn't okay using the randomized versions and then I changed it back to Steel...

Spoiler:


The journey continues...
I got the Boulder Badge by defeating Brock’s Pidove and Gliscor!
On Route 4 I caught Marvin the Blitzle.
I defeated Misty’s Panpour and Alomomola and got the Cascade Badge.
The Team Rocket Grunt at Nugget Bridge had Zekrom and Reshiram? I want to join TR if you get such good Pokemon...
In Vermilion City I fished up Theodore the Delphox.
I beat Surge’s Klefki, Dewott and Bibarel and got the Thunder Badge.
I beat Erika’s Throh, Fennekin and Lampent and got the Rainbow Badge.
Giovanni had Vullaby, Drilbur and Diggersby and I got the Silph Scope!
How did my rival get a Heatran in Lavender Tower?
I obtained the Poke Flute after saving Mr. Fuji and Marowak’s spirit was replaced by a Simisear…
In Silph Co., Giovanni had Woobat, Mandibuzz, Sandile and Espurr. Master Ball yay!
Sabrina had Snivy, Kyurem, Mandibuzz and Tepig and I got the Marsh Badge.
I defeated Koga’s Weavile, Bunnelby, Dialga and Azelf for the Soul Badge!
Blaine had Skrelp, Hawlucha, Goomy and Aurorus but I won the Volcano Badge.
Ooh, Giovanni was combative with Spiritomb, Reuniclus, Serperior, Scrafty and Avalugg, but I was victorious and claimed the Earth Badge.

Glad to see you on board! That extra rule though.....*smacks lips and sighs*......good rule. I apparently hate myself lol. I got a flying type before Brock, cuz Im 2 smrt. I can't get any other types until after his gym. I should really get back to mine......

phantomness November 7th, 2015 8:56 AM

Now, onto randomized Gold version… My starter choices were Mareep, Poliwag and Kingdra. I picked Kingdra and named her Nadia.
On Route 29 I caught Vera the Houndour.
On Route 30 I caught Yama the Piloswine.
On Route 31 there was no way I could catch a Zapdos but I did get Trent the Jolteon after using up a lot of Poke Balls.
I defeated Falkner’s Gligar and Pupitar and got the Zephyr Badge!
On Route 32 I caught Sai the Hoppip.
I beat Bugsy’s Sudowoodo, Vaporeon and Drowzee for the Hive Badge.
I defeated my Rival’s Nidoran, Meowth and Poliwhirl.

Question: May I catch an HM slave for now? I only have 5 pokemon since I haven't encountered any Steel types, and I need Cut to progress... and none of them can learn it...
EDIT: Just in case I can't, I used the walk through walls code to get through Ilex Forest.

Whitney had Swinub and Pidgey so the Plain Badge was an easy win.
Morty was also not too bad, with Yanma, Hoppip, Kabuto and Misdreavus so I got the Fog Badge.
In the Burnt Tower, my rival had Vileplume, Nidoran M, Yanma and Poliwhirl.

Hmm, I thought I put this in the rules but looking back I didn't. Yes you can use an HM slave. it doesn't have to be any of the types that you got due to the fact that It will only be used for HMs

phantomness November 7th, 2015 4:17 PM

In Olivine City I fished up Wakazashi the Scizor so I finally have a full team…
I defeated Chuck’s Smeargle and Jumpluff and got the Storm Badge.
Jasmine’s Ariados, Ditto and Wartortle were no match for my team so I got the Mineral Badge.
Pryce had Cloyster, Houndoom and Charmeleon but I triumphed with the Glacier Badge.

I'm too tired to post the rest of the logs, but here is a picture of me after beating Red... http://picpaste.com/Pokemon_GoldR_01-XcaDPlfi.png

Onto Generation 3 next!

I seem to have lost my file for leaf green but I wasn't too far into it. So I believe that I will change my game to sapphire because for one I don't think I've beaten it and two it's hard to get past the first gym in leaf green with the type I have available. So here is my new sign up form
