Welcome to PokeCommunity’s Monthly-MiniChallenge Spooky Event HOLIDAY PARTY!

What's This?
Every month, we will hold a mini-challenge that can be completed on an existing save, or in conjunction with a challenge you’re working on. But this time, we decided to bring you old school Holiday Event.

General rules:
- All main series games are allowed
- Unlike regular Monthly-Mini Challenge, you have to start new game this time and beat it
- You can trade/hack in one of your Pokemon as Starter Pokemon
- Holidays are meant to be peaceful. Poison and Fighting-Types (with only exception being Crabominable) are banned for this challenge
- This challenge will run December 17th 2017 to January 14th 2018

Let's get to the funny part

Team Building
- Your whole team must be based on these Christmas symbols:

Special Snowflake - Ice-type or Fairy-Type that don't evolve by leveling OR Chimecho or Cryogonal*
Decorations - Pokemon that you would hang as decoration during Christmas
Gift bringer - Pokemon that symbolize your country's Holiday's icon (Santa Claus, Grandpa Frost, La Befana, Ježíšek, Belsnickel, ...)
Chanukija - Pokemon that has visible burning flame on itself
Family together - Pokemon with supporting move (or move made for double battles)
GIFTS!!! - Another player will give you this Pokemon based on your wish

*Pokemon that became Fairy-Type in GEN VI count for GEN I-V

And finally, sign-up:
Name:
Game:
Holidays: (What are you celebrating this year)

I think Leavanny could help you fulfill your wish as it helps keeping eggs and small Pokemon warm.

Also, my sign-up

Wish: Well, I can't beat LRachelR5 in generosity, so I'll wish for the most selfish thing I could think of. I want to have peaceful Christmas!

i knew you would come up with something great. i'll hold off actually starting till i'm home tonight, but since i'll be at home with access to a stronger computer i might as well play a more modern game.

Wish: That people are satisfied and happy with what they get or don't get and simply enjoy the holiday, not the commercial aspect of it.

Janp December 17th, 2017 6:38 AM

Just wanted to say that I edited main post a little bit (adding one note to Special Snowflake and changed Background music from Spooky theme to Cristmas theme :D )

Thanks :)

I think Lickitung is exactly Pokemon that don't care of what it gets and would probably enjoy holiday not because of gifts, but because of food. Also, long time ago, there was no commercial aspect to Christmas, that's why Lickitung is better suited for you that its evolution.


PS: I'm waiting for my gift to :)

I'll throw my hat into the ring, but quick question first: Are we allowed to hack in Pokemon that would fit the theme but are otherwise unobtainable?

Wish: A White Christmas with tons of snow :D

Also, for Janp:

Peaceful Christmas would seem to fall right into the hands of Noctowl, who can act as a watcher as the day winds down.

I think that Walrein would be perfect at giving you that white Christmas that you want because it can summon Blizzards

I think Porygon should fulfill your technological desire

Question. if a pokemon evolves through levelling under special conditions (such as with a certain move, or a certain item held) does it count for the first challeng? or does it have to be just, not levelling up at all. like Trade or stone.

Piloswine December 17th, 2017 3:05 PM

I was willing to play, but I actually won't have time now, so I'm signing off.
I still hope to play some holiday challenge in the future. :)

Only Pokemon that evolve after pure leveling. These Pokemon are banned.

I think Wishiwashi is right Pokemon for you as it shows that no matter how lonely you think you are, there are always people that will help :)

Sorry for the waiting :) But I think Xatu is good Pokemon for you, because it can see future, past and present at once, so you'll always be reminded of your awesome memories :)

Macho's frosty adventure in Johto Chapter 1

Spoiler:

Hi i'm macho, its the holiday time here, and after celebrating with my mother, she gave me the greatest gift i could ask for, permission to start my pokemon journey! i went to professor elm after bumping into my friend Lyra and he told me about his friend Mr Pokemon, i looked through the 3 pokemon he offered me as a starter and one stood out to me, adorable narrowed eyes, a roaring fire on its back, i had to pick little Cyndaquil. i think i'll call him Backfire because well duh he has fire on his back :3

i went to mr pokemon's house, and a nice man called Professor Oak gave me this pokedex thing to record data on pokemon with, and mr pokemon gave me an egg for Elm. ok i went back to cherrygrove city and ran into a rather dour looking young man with blood red hair. he wouldnt tell me his name but he wanted a fight, his totodile was no match for cyndaquil since i was trained more! he dropped his card and i found his name, he panicked and snatched the card back before running off. at the lab i found out that a pokemon was stolen! the policeman blamed me but Lyra backed me up, i told him about the young man i met and that his name was Silver. Elm took the egg and was impressed about my pokedex, saying Oak mustve seen something in me. he said i should go take on the gym challenge the first one being violet city, i said goodbye to Mom first who nicely offered to save money for me, but i'm fine with my own money.

onwards to violet city i beat some trainers near cherrygrove with Backfire and got to the city itself, i climbed the sprout tower and saw Silver beating the head sage, he called me weak and left! the nerve of him! i beat the sage too and got the flash TM then left the tower, Backfire evolved to quilava inside. in the gym Quilava took care of the trainers and then i faced Falkner himself.

this was a tough fight but nothing Quilava cant handle! ember took down pidgey in one shot, pidgeotto took it better and struck back with gust, and a 2nd. i was running a bit low, but so was he. one final ember finished off pidgeotto. falkner congratulated me and handed me the Zephyr badge and Roost TM. he then said i should go to Azalea town.

so i headed out of the gym and got a call from Elm saying his aide was in the pokemart with a gift, it was the egg i got him earlier! he wants me to hatch it! i progressed down towards the pokemon center near union cave and ran around a bit inside to hatch the egg. Togepi hatched from it and i decided to name her EggBirb knowing what she will become.

i trained her against trainers i missed on the way down before movng on to the cave, thankfully she knew a strong move in Extrasensory so nothing was too difficult, she beat all the trainers in Union cave and i made my way to Azalea town where i saw a man being bullied by a man wearing a black outfit, oh this can't be good. well i've decided to take a break now at the pokemon center, i'll resume my adventure later.

one way or another you need all 16 badges to get one otherwise, be it rock climbing in the national park or buying from the pokeathlon dome. and i'd rather not be locked out of togekiss till the literal final battle

I think it shouldn't break the game that much, so it's okay :)

And I was able to play more, so here's my update:

Update 2:

Spoiler:

So a nice man named kurt told me about team rocket hunting slowpoke in the well, i dont want that to happen so i followed him and fought team rocket after he injured himself, Proton was tough but nothing my little EggBirb couldnt handle. i met silver near Ilex forest again and had a difficult fight, togepi beat gastly easily but it got cursed requiring a switch to Quilava, right into Croconaw, so quilava put up a fight but got beaten nonetheless, leave it to EggBirb to finish it off and make short work of Zubat. went into Ilex forest, got cut and caught Hula the oddish i'm sure she'll help the team with her moves once she learns them. Hula got switch trained at the gym. Bugsy was difficult as usual in hg/ss stupid u-turn scyther, but quilava took a hit, one shot metapod, then scyther came back in and used focus energy followed by quick attack, 2 embers put it down, kakuna was last and Eggbirb picked up the win with extrasensory.

i proceeded through the forest, catching a 2nd oddish to use cut and got to the day care where lyra totally flirted with me lol and gave me her number, score! anyway from there i hit up goldenrod and got a radio card then cleared out the underground, cleared the gym and fought whitney. I'd heard from others she was tough and they were right. Clefairy got whittled down by hula, not before a metronome fire blast took her down to 3HP, healed her up and finished it though, miltank got charmed 3 times then put to sleep, then leered a few times by quilava but after a couple of headbutts and a super potion, quilava died to a 3rd rollout, oddish took a 4th rollout and put it to sleep, then scored a critical hit with Acid followed by another Acid finishing miltank.

Whitney cried a bit then gave me the plain badge, she told me about the pokeathlon dome opening near the national park, i went up and tried it out but i was no good, maybe another time.

Update 3
Spoiler:

So after failing at the pokeathlon, i decided to try another contest, the bug catching contest! i caught a nice high levelled scyther and hoped for the best, i won! and the sun stone was mine. Hula levelled up and evolved into Gloom, i then used the sun stone to evolve her into bellossom. EggBirb finally evolved after a few more levels with the new Soothe bell item. i found an odd looking tree and a girl said she was from the flower shop and squirting the tree with water might make it move. i went back to Goldenrod and grabbed the squirtbottle, then back to the tree and sure enough it was a pokemon named Sudowoodo! it attacked but Hula beat it easily. further on i ended up in ecruteak city, met a nice man called Bill and saved an embarrassed Kimono girl from an annoying team rocket grunt, Hula took care of his koffing easily enough, a nice gentleman gave me the HM for surf. went to the burned tower and fought silver again, eggbirb made short work of Gastly, and zubat, hula took out croconaw and Backfire beat magnemite, simple battle. met a man named Eusine who thinks Suicune likes me or something, idk. anyway Morty was back at the gym so i went through the annoying fog and Mediums to meet him. Quilava fainted in an earlier battle and i forgot to go heal, whoops. not that it mattered Eggbirb was enough on its own. gastly cursed me and got killed by Extrasensory. haunter cursed Hula and got put to sleep, eggbirb came back in and finished it. eggbirb yawned gengar then got hit by hypnosis putting both to sleep at once, Eggbirb woke immediately and hit extrasensory, then got hypnosised again, after a mean look and some failed sucker punches she awoke and yawned again, gengar was back in dreamland and another extrasensory took it to the red, Morty healed, another hit took half with no sitrus berry to heal him this time a 2nd shot finished it. Haunter was his final pokemon and it cursed me before Extrasensory finished it. good job EggBirb!

yeah it ends today, i'll not be able to get it done either, holiday season is just too busy i guess. was a nice challenge though. and i'll be sure to complete januarys no matter what it is (inb4)

Lrachelr5 January 14th, 2018 3:25 PM

I probably wont be able to finish either its almost 11:25pm in the UK and I have at least beaten the 8th gym however I would not have time to finish the Team Plasma stuff or the E4 so my team after beating the 8th gym is level 47 Leavanny and Swasbuck, level 46 Lampent, level 48 Elektross and a level 49 Espeon, my last team member would have been Mamoswine.

Janp January 14th, 2018 11:26 PM

Thanks you all for playing. January Monthly-Mini Challenge should be up in few hours :)
