By the way guys, what do you think about reviving some old challenges like TCG, Bingo, Gym Leader, etc. challenges? |
Okay, I've submitted a thread for the August results
I'm thinking maybe it would be a good idea to have two separate threads: a new one every month for the last month's challenge, which is deleted/archived/whatever after a couple of weeks, and an ongoing thread that we can copy-paste the "official" results into so that we have an easy to access record, and the initial post of that thread can have leaderboards updated monthly. thoughts? Did that all make sense? |

The following is something I created out of the blue not that long ago while playing Pokemon Yellow. Seeing as its the only Pokemon Game I own, I try to find new things or avenues when doing yet another playthrough. Nuzlockes, Monotypes and other challenges only get me so far so I developed a new challenge that is completely unique(AFAIK) and refreshing because the challenge is based on the following criteria: An Animated show.
This Animated Show can be ANYTHING animated. Be it Looney Toons to the ultra serious series of a Japanese Anime like Full Metal Alchemist. Whatever the show, pick 6 characters(most of which will be Protagonists(not too many shows I know of have more than 6 while the rest can be antagonists or side characters)) and then analyzing their character traits. From which you will determine what Pokemon best represents that particular character and then building your Pokemon Team from your character list. Here is an example I did not that long ago. One of my favorite animated series is a French anime of Code Lyoko. Code Lyoko has five main protagonists: Jeremy, Aelita, Ulrich, Yumi and Odd. Jeremy is basically a science nerd(similar to Clemont in the Pokemon Anime) who often sits in front of the Computer while aiding the rest of the group while they are on the virtual world that is Lyoko. Being that he's in the real world, he's at the mercy of the rogue AI antagonist and is often electrocuted as a result. Therefore an Electric Type Pokemon(in this case conveniently Pikachu) was my choice. Aelita is a timid and shy girl who often relied on the rest of the group for mission success. Later on in the series she grows more confident and gains the ability to fight back. Despite her newfound abilities, she's often at the mercy of the antagonist and henceforth I chose a Bug Type(Butterfree to be exact since her virtual form gains Wings later on). Ulrich is the stereotypical Jock with a jealous nature and a thin skinned pride to go with it. His athleticism is unmatched within the group and his prowess for hand to hand combat is unmatched. Initially I was going to go with Scyther but opted for Sandshrew(and its evolved form) because I needed a Ground Type and because its a powerhouse(and Ulrich certainly was that in the anime). Yumi is as loyal as any friend can be but comes with a bit of a hot temper and is portrayed as one hot vixen. As such Vulpix seemed to be the appropriate pick for her. Odd was a no brainer. Odd loves to sleep and eat so the perfect Pokemon for him is Snorlax. Finally, I opted to go for their virtual ship: Skidbladinir as the final slot in my team. It's a mythical Viking ship that always reached its destination and I thought Lapras best represented it. Once you have your team planned out, you then go through the course of the game and catch ONLY those 6 characters/Pokemon. If one should die(faint) you lose. The rest of Nuzloke rules such as SET and other parameters are still in play. Might need some refining but I think it would certainly spice up future games if people played a Pokemon game based on one of their favorite animated series(like Avatar: The Last Airbender as another example). |

If Generation 2 was available to me, I'd pick Milly and Tamiya as Plusle and Minum. These two were best friends and were always supporting one another as Journalism enthusiasts. There are several more characters I could pick as well and I limit it to 6 because I try to give myself a challenge. If a person wants to have no limit on the amount of Pokemon they catch, that's fine but I'd still limit Pokemon captures by the character and Pokemon they best represent(which if you do the challenge, you announce right at the start of the challenge). There would be no first encounter restriction, only the restriction of capturing Pokemon that fits that particular character. Run out of characters and well you can't capture Pokemon. Some shows people could do(and example Pokemon for each one): TMNT: Blastoise, Torkoal, Samurott, Greninja, Raticate, and Bisharp. First 4 as the 4 Turtles, Splinter as a Rat and Bisharp as the antagonist Shredder. Then Rhyhorn for Rocksteady, Krookodile as Leatherhead and so on. Gravity Falls: Dipper and Mabel(Male and Female Meowstic), Zoos(Slakoth), Wendy(Alola Vulpix or an Ice type), Ford(Alakazam), Stan(pick one lol). This mode has numerous applications and replayability because you can do a new show each time and even if you go with the same show multiple times, you can probably pick a different Pokemon for a particular character, thereby giving it a fresh take. |

It will be end of the month soon and that means new Monthly-Mini Challenge... And because it'll be Halloween this month, I wanted to know, would you prefer another Monthly-Mini Challenge or some old school Event?
|
Okay, new event is up! Check it out!
|
So, what do you think about Monthly-Mini Challenges so far? Do you have any ideas for other months?
|
I personally don't have the time for them like I would have used to, but I do like the idea of having something every month, even if it is just a little something. Provides a good little boost to the area and keeps things fresh, but also doesn't impede on anything bigger you might like to do for holidays or something. It's just a matter of keeping it up and it not being too stale. That is one issue with monthly things.
I don't have any ideas for mini-challenges, but I would suggest a more major event for December. More people will have time off in December (students, usually) to do them and with the majors holidays that come in that month, it's makes for an easy base to build an idea on. |
Hi! I'd currently like to propose the plan of a Communitylocke. A Communitylocke is a competitive points based Nuzlocke run where people create Nuzlocke runs on the forums under an event's overarching rules, and receive or are detracted points depending on certain in game events.
For Example Catching a Pokemon earns you one point Having a Pokemon faint costs you one point Winning a Gym Battle earns you one point etc etc So.. this concept originated on the Nuzlocke Forum, and to boost the activity on the Challenge Subforums and cultivate a community, I'd like to host and promote the first PokeCommunity Communitylocke. What do you guys think? If you have any questions, you are certainly open to ask me on this thread! :D Thanks! |

All I'm saying is if you feel up to the challenge, go for it and I would consider participating, but just know that historically it's been an uphill battle. |

Another Mini-Monthly Challenge will end soon and I totally forget to make one for November and won't be able to make one in time.
So I wanted to ask you, if you have any idea for one and if any of you would like to host it. |
Hello, may I revive the Pokémon Rainbow Challenge from the days of old? Is a nice challenge and I think newer members would enjoy it :3
I'll just use pretty much the same rules setup from the original post because they are mostly fine the way they are, hah! |

So, been thinking about making a Sailor Moon based challenge, and I'm slowly but surely developing "rules" for it, starting with what pokémon you can pick for your team, based on the senshi. I decided to center myself around the main 10, because choosing pokés to fit all the senshi that appear in the shows would be a nightmare, lol
This is what I got so far. If anyone has any idea on what to put for Sailor Saturn and Pluto, I would be very happy! I was thinking Dark for Pluto and Ghost for Saturn but =shrug= And like, I know Chibiusa sin't exactly an outer senshi but shhhhh Inner Senshi: Sailor Moon = Bunny/Rabbit and Cat Pokémon Sailor Mercury = Primary Water Pokémon Sailor Mars = Pure Fire Pokémon Sailor Jupiter = Pure Electric Pokémon Sailor Venus = A Pokémon that learns the move Attract by levelling up or has the Cute Charm Ability Outer Senshi: Sailor Chibi Moon = Pink Fairy Pokémon Sailor Pluto = Sailor Uranus = Ground Pokémon Sailor Neptune = Pure Water Pokémon Sailor Saturn = |
