Trick 'r Treat Challenge (Open for Feedback!)
 
http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii581/NecrumWarrior/1841419_zpscpm1v4og.jpg

Happy Halloween, once again, Challengers! I do apologize for the tardiness, I am at the beginning of my new classes. It's time again for my favorite holiday of the year, and that means another Halloween Challenge! This year's theme is, well, Trick or Treating! The grand tradition performed all across the US (idk about other countries on Halloween, I'll be honest), Trick or Treating is the act of going door to door on Hallow's Eve, asking for candy. Not giving candy is meant to incite a prank on the Scrooge. Hence, Trick or Treat.

In today's challenge, we will be taking both concepts, and applying them to Pokemon.


The Treat
Every sign up will be accompanied by a treat, in the form of a Pokemon you love. This "treat" is claimed by the next individual to sign up for a challenge, allowing for a small amount of control regarding what Pokemon you receive.


The Trick
In addition to the Treat, everyone will also include a Trick in their sign up form. However, instead of a Pokemon, the Trick is a rule that must be followed by the user who signed up BEFORE you. You may contest a trick you deem to be too unfun or too challenging. If the trickster disagrees, I will make the call. If it is accepted as too much, you will be given a new rule. You may start playing before receiving your Trick, but as soon as it's given you must adhere to it!


Rules
1. Your challenge must be performed on a main series Pokemon game, sequel, or remake.
2. You may trade or hack for Pokemon that you cannot obtain any other way in your game. Hacked Pokemon should be made as legally as possible, and trading should happen when you reach the level of the traded Pokemon.
3. In your sign up post, include the phrase "Hello, hello" somewhere in the text to prove you read the rules.
4. Your game must be played on a new save file, and ends upon defeating the champion or Ghetsis.
5. The Challenge must be completed before November 1st.

Amendments:
A) Until you are given a Trick, you are free to play normally until one is given to you.
B) NFE Treats may be evolved to their highest stage.

Trick: One Pokemon on your team must be Burned before fighting Gyms and Rivals. (gonna have the first rival battle become an exception to this) (you're scot-free for the Elite Four and Champion :D)

3. Guardian of the Aztec Temple: ___ (Salamence) [Bowser]
4. ___'s Cyber Death Game (Gardevoir) [Zelda or Sheik]
5. Five Nights At ___'s (Gengar) [Freddy]
6. Flareon [Jill or Doug, from Drill Dozer]

Hello, hello! I will most likely hack Flareon in the game near the very beginning, as I don't have the National Dex that early in the game. Plus, Eevee won't be able to evolve if I hack that in as a precursor to Flareon. I wonder if hacking the Flareon in after leaving Littleroot would be okay (or considered as legal as I could possibly have it), so I would like some feedback before attempting this run.

EDIT: I don't think I'll be able to complete my run of this event. This is mostly due to my school work and exam schedule. I've had a lot of field trips to attend (as well as take notes on for a report) as well as a large amount of time studying (nearly an exam every week >.<). I was really looking forward to doing this :(

Yeah, you're good to use those kinds of hacks.

Necrum October 12th, 2015 12:29 PM

Okay so I want to do a little clarification before I take off for my trip this week. First and formost, I cannot stress enough that this is meant FOR FUN. If some aspect of the challenge is absolutely holding you away from enjoying the experience, I welcome you to say something. This is not nearly as strict as say the Monotype challenge: bending the rules a liiiitle bit within acceptable boundaries is okay.

So, with that said, I want to directly address a concern I have received. Treats are supposed to be fun to use. Just because your favorite Pokémon is a baby does not mean it will be enjoyable for the next person after you. So, if you are given an under evolved Pokémon, you are free to evolve it as much as you like. If you are giving a Pokémon, let's try to avoid Pokémon that may ruin someone's experience. We don't need to be giving people 2 Tricks.

Also, if you have not been given a Trick yet, you can start playing normally until one is given.

Sorry, I'll change the challenge:
The levels of your pokemon combined can not pass... when facing... (only if you have 4 or less pokemon)
If you have more than 4 pokemon, then do the original challenge, I will edit my post soon.

MachoPony, what is your current team? I might be able to give you some advice for the gym. I don't think this trick is too hard personally, since I have a similar one myself (cannot heal with items, can only heal in centers and at home), so perhaps I can help you work through it.

He was referring to my challenge. I did not realize that he would have one pokemon by the time he reached Falkner which is my fault. I edited the challenge though so I hope that fixes it.

Oh, whoops! Thanks for clarifying then! ...So I have been doing the wrong trick the whole time... 8D

I always leave my HM slave in the PC until I need it, do I still need to level it up when it's time for me to use it?

It's mostly if you intended to carry one for a longer period of time (for instance, in an open slot prior to completing your team) You'll have to make the call on it yourself, I guess. (I suppose in XY HM users aren't usually needed for extended periods) Don't train them because you'll only take them out specifically when you need them? Train any you intend to use more than a certain number of times? Dunno. We don't know your play style (we ourselves tend to keep a squad of non-HM pickup zigzagoon with us in our XY games, so)

Trick: "You can't use status healing items or berries (including Full Restores). Revives are allowed. During the Elite Four only Full Restores and PP-restoring items/berries are unbanned." - jdthebud (to be honest, this entire time we've used like. two regular potions. And that was just because we didn't want our pokemon to faint of poison in the times when we were unable to immediately teleport to the pokecenter)(in other news, teleport is awesome)
Treat: Gengar - JayD

Team:

Faraday: Five Nights at Faraday's
Feraligatr, M, lv.53, mystic water
Slash, surf, screech, bite
- wait, feraligatr can't learn waterfall in gen II?? Also, bite kind of sucks

Jade: The Mystery of the Jade Idol
Gengar, M, lv.52, charcoal
Lick, confuse ray, hypnosis, fire punch
- He's better now.

Einstein: Einstein's Cyber Death Game
Kadabra, F, lv.52, amulet coin
Ice punch, teleport, recover, psychic
- maybe we should replace ice punch with thunder punch and give the ice attack to the ice pokemon. On the other hand, only one of the two had a decent SpAttack and it is not the ice type (why must sneasel be one of the pokemon cursed in genI-III with two Special types and absolutely abysmal SpAttack...)

Lesage: Lesage's Chainsaw Massacre
Scizor, F, lv.52, quick claw
Metal claw, wing attack, focus energy, slash
- murder

Tezcatl: Guardian of the Aztec Temple: Tezcatl
Xatu, M, lv.52, -
Fly, confuse ray, future sight, psychic
- I need more hold items

Trounson: Murder at Trounson Manor
Sneasel, F, lv.52, king's rock
Slash, fury swipes, screech, faint attack
- this moveset sucks


Who wants to have fun guessing who/what we named our pokemon after, or why? It is very fun, considering gender was irrelevant and two of them were named for more than one person/thing.

Y'all, give me motivation for this challenge. lol I should not have picked Y for this. idk why, but replaying gen VI just isn't all that fun to me. :( But I wanted the large variety of Pokemon choices...silly me.

I'm currently in Parfum Palace, for what it's worth. Hoping to get some actual progress made on Monday before Zestiria hits the next day cause I can guarantee you guys that it's gonna be ever harder from then on, lol.

I am pretty surprised with the lack of update posts, but that won't stop me!

I got a huge story with this one, brace yourselves ;) So i pulled the common mistake of not checking before picking my pokemon and got stuck with just a Patrat/Watchog for the first 4 gyms (double dumb points for forgetting Audino is everywhere). I wouldn't complain much but my trick told me I could never have my Pokemon faint so when i forget to save... bleh. I had the most trouble with Emolga lady, I usually have at least one revive slave slated for her. Anyway Work Up Ftw! Made it through Clay pretty fast with a shiny new duck and here i am!

Well, I forgot my ds somewhere and had to wait a week to play again. It was a nice break though :) oh and Charmander is being substituted for Drilbur because of hacking restrictions, I made sure to contact my treat guy about that.

Statistics etc.
Spoiler:

Black 2 team thus far:

Watchog lvl 36
Audino lvl 25
Ducklett lvl 27

Number of resets because of fainting: 20+. (i'll give the exact when i find my master tally sheet)

Play Time: 17:51. I might have left it going alone for a while.

Badges: 5


Next update is the last one.

Update#2
Mt Moon
Spoiler:
After 4 hours of terrible RNG I finally caught a Kabuto, named him GEODUDE... Boxed my Slowpoke named PIKACHU.
At least if i have more terrible luck i'm in on the challenge lol...
Kabuto started with Submission, Tail Whip, Rock Slide, and Rock Throw. Stats are lvl 11/hp 30/ATK 22/Def 26/Speed 18/Spec 14
Vulpix was part of that 4 hour grind for Kabuto that i switched floors to off and on.. luckily i was able to grab one before i got tired of waiting for one to encounter. Named it ODDISH
Vulpix started with Fire Punch, Poison Gas, Barrage, and Flamethrower. Stats are lvl 11/hp 29/ATK 15/Def 15/Speed 21/Spec 21
Onwards to Misty!

Update #3
Spoiler:
Oie, at this rate i'll beat the game before getting a trick...

So we went "? But... Blue doesn't go back to his gym unless you have the other seven badges?" And I have Save files of us standing next to each of the gym leaders? And then we rand around to each of the gyms and talked to the leaders? And? Sabrina fought us again?!

I'm totally fine with having all Pokemon with Toxic, but I didn't realize, that I couldn't get its TM before 5th Gym (For some reason I thought that Skyla is 5th Gym and I'll get Surf before battling her)

So if it'll be okay, I'll continue in normal playthrough and learn Toxic to everyone after I can get it.

SubVirus October 20th, 2015 5:12 AM

TBH i didn't even look at his pokemon before making the trick, I just knew if push came to shove that toxic is widely compatible and still very useful.
I'll push it back to the 6th gym for the sake of fun.

We navigated Silver cave blind, per usual (and didn't even use the map we have sitting around somewhere)
Faraday slashed pikachu a bunch, and Red... used full restores on it. Like. four times. But it fainted eventually.
Venusaur was his counter to Faraday- we switched in Jade, hypnotised the big lug, then fire punched it.
For some unfathomable reason he chose to send in snorlax? No idea what posessed him to do that. His snorlax wouldn't be able to HIT Jade, but he would be able to hit IT, with hypnosis (which would put a damper on stat-raising), confuse ray AND fir punch. We countered with Lesage and had her use focus energy, then just hit it until it fainted. (maybe his algorithms said: Ghost/poison > Use psychic attack > don't use psychic type > snorlax has psychic moves [doesn't calculate that snorlax's psychic moves are rest and amnesia])
Another logical send in from Red: his charizard to counter our metal bug.
We counter this by sending in Tezcatl, then harass the charizard. It got in a decent attack or two, though.
Then his blastoise, which promptly fell to Einstein as she hit it twice with psychic.
Lastly, his espeon versus our Trounson. A metal claw and some slashes later and it fell too, leaving us the winner.

Awesome, considering how much higher his levels are than our team's levels!

I doubt I'll be able to finish this challenge, honestly. Zestiria has taken over my life, but I'm going to try to pound some more gyms next week when I have more free time. I work most of this weekend and in long shifts too, so that's...fun. ~_~

MachoPony October 25th, 2015 12:20 AM

really? i havent got that into Zestiria yet honestly, but i'll try and finish this ASAP

Necrum October 29th, 2015 10:34 AM

Okay so I really wanted to play this challenge, but this month has kinda sucked. One of the reasons I am on leave was that I had a trip to new Orleans, which was the highlight of the month for sure. However, right before my trip, my computer went completely kaput. I have been unable to revive it since. Sadly, my challenge required some hacking, which I hadn't gotten to when this happened. So I pretty much will not finish. I hope those of you who are playing, enjoy. Happy Halloween, everyone! And expect a Happy New Year! ;)

I consider him as champion, so I would go with 5 'mons

EDIT: Completed my run. I feel like rushing the game in two days... wait, that's what actually happened :D Anyway, it was nice chilling run. My 'mons were overleveled for most of the gameplay, which was actually pretty nice since I had to finished the run today :D

And here's the SPOOOOOOOOOOOOKY Team:


Blueredemption October 31st, 2015 4:50 PM

Mwahahahahahaha i'm Clutch!

Black 2 ---- Treat = Drilbur ---- Trick = Pokemon can't faint

I can confidently say this has been the most troublesome challenge I have ever done, but I won! After my update post I had some college visits and projects getting in my way, so i was blind and forgot to beat the tournament in Driftveil. I ran around for about a week trying to find the next story trigger only to find out i was walking, running, and biking right past it. Once that fiasco was over I caught Drilbur in Chargestone cave, beat the 3 other gyms, took about 30 soft resets to beat team Plasma, caught Vanillish in Giant chasm, pushed through victory road, and caught Druddigon while there. Wew... not done yet ;).

Since Audino proved useless and Druddigon wasn't high enough in level, I walked into the e4 with only 4 viable Pokemon. Vanniluxe swept the fighting guy (Acid armor ftw, what an upset xD), Excadrill swept the ghost and psychic girls, and Swanna pretty much swept the dark guy (girl?). The real problem came at Iris though, I could not for the life of me take out her Haxorus without a Pokemon fainting... It took me at least 25 soft resets, and it ended up being Vunillux with acid armor coming through again. ALL HAIL VANILLUXE!

Since it's November 2nd now, I'm gonna go ahead and close this and let Necrum make any final touches once he gets back. Thanks for participating, guys!

Locked.

First I want to apologize for how late this wrap-up is coming. Last month sucked for me, as I've already written about in an earlier post, so I won't go too much into all that mess. I meant to get on this sooner, but my teacher sprung a midterm on my class, so now I'm past that and I'm gonna get back into gear.

Okay so on to the congrats! All of you who followed through on this are to be commended! It probably wasn't the best challenge I ever made, but I always feel good when people complete what I design. I can't take 100% of the credit though as I probably wouldn't have been able to do this without Mama Syd to bounce ideas off of. I haven't decided yet if I want to do a Christmas or New Year event coming up, but I can promise it will be a much more interesting challenge. So, let's have a look at everyone who finished the challenge! Participants are listed by completion date, with faster challenges listed first:

1. A Moon's Gust - Fire Red
2. waters_echo - Crystal
3. Janp - Black
4. Blueredemption - Black 2

Wow, that's actually less than I thought finished, haha. No biggie though. Since there are so many participants with different takes on the Movie Titles, I thought it might be nice to pick the most interesting and gather them up as well!

Machamp's Chainsaw Massacre - itsScared: 4-armed slasher chaos? Yes please!
Murder at Mismagius Manor - Kostucha: An alluring alliteration of abject atrocity.
Guardian of the Aztec Temple: Samurott - AoTora: The creator put it quite perfectly, it's quite easy to imagine this Pokémon standing guard, always ready to fight!
Vespiquen's Cyber Death Game - Ahri: Vespiquen's hexagonal design seems to lend itself to some digital mayhem. Bravo!
Five Nights At Darmanitan's - jdthebud: Darmanitan has a perfectly goofy-yet-intimidating appearance to fill the shoes of Freddy Fazbear. Plus an alt form for some extra creepiness.

I hope those that played enjoyed the challenge. I thought it was a nice idea and I rather enjoyed the concept of more stylistic Pokémon selection over specific rules. Maybe more in the future? I am opening this thread back up for feedback, and it doesn't even just have to be about this. I just want to hear from you guys about what you want from the next event challenge. Don't be shy, now!

I continue to fail in checking the challenges forum regularly, saw that there was a new post in here from my "find all posts" page.

I will agree, the theme challenges I find to be really fun. It's a good change from the rule riddled challenges that occupy a lot of the "new" ones around. I don't have any recommendations for a new one though ;-; I am all for playing challenges, but I am in no way creative about making them. This might work though:

Since making challenges for every event is challenging, why not do an event that incorporates all of the current challenges? Have people compete over a month or two for how many challenges they can complete. If that seems to hard, which I think it could be, it could just be an informal "favorite challenge - challenge" but with a common theme, like Christmas Pokemon or something.

I wish I had more, it's all I can think of at the moment. Good luck with your classes Necrum!
