    Welcome to PokeCommunity's 1st Marathon Challenge! Think you have what it takes to
    complete this challenge? Well it's not just one challenge - it's 30 mini challenges!
    What this challenge incorporates is there are 30 individual tasks that must be accomplished
    across a wide string of video games. The great thing about this challenge is that you don't
    have to complete all 30 challenges to obtain an emblem. As long as you complete one
    challenge, you get an emblem! Look below for more information regarding this.

    2. Emulators are allowed in this challenge, as well as any game system.
    3. After completing each challenge, a screenshot needs to be taken of the event. If for some reason
    you can't get a picture of it by mobile device or computer, please play by the honor rule.
    4. To record your progress, strike through each challenge, indicate what game is used with a screenshot,
    and post in this thread. You can find a list to all the challenges in the spoiler at the end of the challenges section of this post.
    5. The challenges can be completed in any order.
    6. If for some reason there is absolutely no way you can complete a challenge,

    One question. Can videos be provided in place of screenshots, for challenges where it may be difficult to provide sufficient evidence with an image alone?

    Click the name of a game to see the screenshot or video of the completed challenge.

    Yup, videos will suffice as well! I just assumed that taking a picture with your phone would be much easier, but if you think that will work better for you, be my guest!

    Are mods, ROM hacks, etc. kosher? (I wouldn't count them as separate games, though.)

    Sounds fun! Since I'm a useless achievement hound, this is right up my alley.

    Edit: Oh, question: you mentioned any console, so that excludes flash games, yes? sweeet

    I'm going to go with no, just because you can essentially "cheat" your way through some challenges. However I will say this: if you want to use a mod or ROM hack to do Challenge #15 (F&%$ the system! Input a cheat that will up your game.) I will say that will count for that!
    Question: Can we use online games?
    Yes, online games can be used! As long as you can get a screenshot of it, it's perfectly fine with me!
    Sounds fun! Since I'm a useless achievement hound, this is right up my alley.

    Edit: Oh, question: you mentioned any console, so that excludes flash games, yes?
    Yup! Flash games can technically be classified as a type of video game, so that counts!

    Count me in, for sure. Quick clarification question though, can we double-dip on challenges? For example if I were playing Minecraft and slew a zombie with a bow, could I use that for both #1 and #28?
    I'm going to say no; however, if you just kill a Creeper or pig n Minecraft with a bow, than it still works. It will count as your two challenges for that game though, keep that in mind.

    Just a side note: if people could post their updated lists and progress instead of editing their initial post, that would be great! It would save me the trouble of having to constantly check to see if people had edited their posts every few hours. It's okay to edit it though if you're the last post in this thread!

    I have screenshots for about half of them, some of them I have no way to get pics of though because I don't have an Ipod, phone, or camera. I plan to put in all the pictures when I go to make my last post when I finish.

    Okay, I just wanted to understand why there wasn't any pictures and that makes sense. And I made this challenge knowing some of them would be hard to get screenshots of, so just do your best to get as many as you can.

    Finished! If I can do them again and get someone's phone or somthing I'll try to get some pics for the ones that I don't have since they aren't that hard to do.

    This is definitely a little more up my alley. :3

    2/30

    Quick clarification:
    For #7 and #21, that's 1 item or NPC per game, yes? Or is it 3 items per game and 5 NPCs per game? I'm assuming the former, but I wanna be sure before I add those in.

    Spoiler:


    Whoops. Someone popped in when I was editing. Will repost for the next one. Apologies! :v
