lol and i thought dustox vs roxie and brawly was hard. i'll consider dark, but idk if i hate myself enough for that. poison seems interesting too, but having just used a team half full of them, i can't say i'm all too interested. i considered water, but that leaves me with some boring choices if i'm being honest. hmmmm. maybe i could just do another random instead of a monotype since i don't think i'll be able to settle on one.
saw the challenge event and it looks great, but my plate is so heavily loaded between zines and commissions that i'm already slacking on. i'll probably end up not participating, but i wish everyone luck!! |
So I've been recently thinking about creating a challenge. I've got some ideas for a nuzlocke variant that still need developing, might share them another time. Has anyone here got a basic idea of what it takes for one to be accepted? And what the experience and duties of hosting it are?
|
for hosting a challenge, my best advice would just be to be good about updating your thread and answering any questions you might get. you don't have to make the op flawless and perfectly coded or anything, just organized and easily understandable. some aesthetics are nice (sprites, colors, different font styles to highlight major points, etc) and make the op appealing to the eye, but aren't necessary. here are some of my threads that make ass examples, but should get the point across:
really simple and straightforward literally only the rules and participants graphic design is my passion this one is actually kinda cute |

you should do it. i played that challenge as jasmine and my team was hella fun to use. i also worked really hard on those list of gym leader pokemon lol wouldn't take much to add in gen 7 probably to revive it, but hoo boy i don't feel like making THAT much effort.
|
So the gist of it is it would be based on A Song of Ice and Fire (aka Game of Thrones), and besides normal nuzlocke rules, Pokémon would be sorted into one of the nine great houses (based on their nature, or something like that) that would have individual challenges tied to each of them. I was also thinking of adding "trainer classes" based on the trainer's ID, that would each also have a condition tied to them (maesters, septons/septas, members of the night's watch, red priests/priestess, etc.). Perhaps also after a significant point of the game, like a new badge obtained, or a trial completed, more challenges would be added. It's kind of similar to the Potterlocke Challenge.
There are still plenty of ideas I have in mind for it, I'm gonna keep thinking. |

Took a quick look over it. It seems like choosing a house in the sign-up instead of sorting Pokémon into houses is better.
|
Damn, it is hard to come up with nuzlocke rules. Can't really make type or move restrictions since the teams aren't completely chosen by the player.

alright y'all i'm back on my bs what should i do. in-game trade pokemon only run in red/blue or mono-normal in ruby/sapphire
|
While in-game trades in RB aren't bad, I think Normal mono run in RS is more interesting. Kecleon, Slakoth, Castform and Spinda on one team sounds great.
|
I wish there was a challenge discord channel so I could actually regularly chat with people who are doing challenges just like I am and enjoy doing them..

Say, is it allowed to multi-post (like double-post but multiple times) for updating challenges?

Hey there, I have some questions about wheter a challenge is tied to a single playthrough or not.
Specifically, when I got back into pokémon I told myself that I wanted to try as many as possible for the sake of variety, so I started playing different games/hacks with a clause of not using the same pokémon twice. Later on it evolved into a challenge I posed to myself in which I try to use every pokémon ever created at least once to beat a game. I'm having fun with it since the difficulty increases with every playthrough and I wanna share what I'm doing, but I'm not sure wheter I could open a thread here for it and challenge other people to it, since the rules say "A challenge is just a playthrough of your Pokemon game with varying restrictions and rules". I've saw a couple of threads with cross-playthrough challenges (the legacy and the generational ones), does this mean mine would be welcome? |

I also try to use as many Pokémon I can and not to repeat them often. It's pretty interesting and I think after 4 years I got pretty close to finish it. |
Thanks to both of you for the clarification! I'll get to it.

Are there any cool challenge runs I should do? I want something that is difficult but not too difficult. I don't like the theme of a pokemon dies permanently. Every time I try a Nuzlocke of some sort, my best pokemon ends up dying and I get salty and just continue on, still using that dead pokemon. Something that can make the game interesting and mixes things up a bit. I would do a randomizer but gens 4 and 5 I have already done multiple times and have gotten bored of them. I would love to do a randomized gen 6 or 7 game, alongside some sort of challenge but it's just too hard to randomize.
|
You could do gen 7 by catching 6 mons and wonder trading them. What you get is your new team! (Or 5 if you want to keep your starter)
If any of them are too high level, box them until they are fair to use or wonder trade again |
