Gonna take some time off from this challenge for a few Others(Hunger Games Challenge and Slakoth Only runof Emerald) but will be back and will likely do a Regional Challenge next. Have one question for future runs, do ROM hacks just need to be capable of fulfilling a challenge requirement to be used in a run? It looks like that is what you have in the rules, but never hurts to be sure.

Yup, as long as you can do it within that hack. Such as Charmer; you'd need a hack(even one you finished) that has Contests fully working to complete. There should be a hack for any challenge you'd need I'm sure. ;)

Light Platinum
Challenges:
Trainer's Challenge (5 blackouts, its a long game)
Exchanger's Challenge
Empathizer's Challenge
Update 1: Selected Light Platinum due to it having a gift pokemon in nearly every town and city making it perfect for the Exchanger's Challenge. To add difficulty, shoved in Trainer's Challenge so I don't have a perfect team of gift pokemon. Empathizer's is there to knock out one more. Must clear the game's two pokemon leagues and world championship. Selected Charamander as starter and ditched him since I didn't feel like using a Charizard again. Picked up the gift Elekid in Yellow Town. Game is weird and requires you to head to the name rater to name gift pokemon. Will name Elekid Akihiko(Persona 3) when the chance is given. Got professor oak to head to yellow town. Met him in Central City and recieved Cyndaquil from him. Will name it Yukiko( Persona 4). Went to Inhore City, went back to Inhore forest to clear team steam. Went to Inhore University and picked up who will come to be know as Kirito(SAO) the Treeko. Beat the 1st gym (bug) with Yukiko. Picked up gift Miltank. Made it to Esmerald City. Picked up gift Zorua, who will be know as Nera( Dragon Quest V).

Active Team:
Akihiko the Elekid
Yukiko the Qulilava
Kirito the Grovyle

Since my games got destroyed on a broken Tablet a whie back, I kinda lost track of my challenge, but Im gunna try to keep better eyes on it this time and restart my attempts back at the beginning. I also fixed up the original post cause everytime i come back and look at it it always looks dumb but i think i fixed all the typos and stupid stuff in it. (Mods I know this is really old so if i shouldnt have reopened my challenge without asking or something first please let me know thanks ill fix whatever i need to if you say i do)

Update for the Battler's Challenge
I chose fire red and i picked up Charmander as my starter and named Heisman.

Entry #1
I wake up from a long slumber excited that I'm going to get my first Pokémon
My two best friends Cheren and Bianca come running through my door with a package containing three pokemon. because it was my birthday they let me pick my pokemon first. I picked Oshowott because I have always liked water type pokemon. Bianca chose tepig and then Cheren picked Snivy. I was suddenly got asked to battle by Bianca and Cheren I quickly beat them both and then we headed to professor Juniper's lab. At the lab she gave us all a pokedex and she taught us how to catch wild pokemon. She also gave us five pokeballs each. now I was left alone on route 1 with my Oshowott that I named ShellBurn. At the end of route 1 I found my first pokemon, lillipup, I caught him and named her Penelope . I made my way to Accumula town and had a strange encounter the a group called team Plasma and had a battle with a strange guy named N. after the battle I trained my pokemon a bit and then I took a nap. While I was taking a nap I was told if my pokemons health reaches 0 they will die and I can only catch the first pokemon on each route and if I don't beat the champion he will kill my Mom and my Dad and if I loose a single pokemon battle I would be killed. I wake up scared listen to his instructions. I made my way down to Route 2 where I encountered a purloin, with my mom and dads life on the line, I knew I had to catch this pokemon. For some reason the purloine didn't fight and went into a single pokemon, I named her Bella. I found out she didn't like to battle so I respected her wishes and kept her as a friend, not a fighter.when I got to Striaton citywere I found myself in a battle with cheren and Bianca, I esily beat them, after the battles I went to the dream yard to triand where a little girl gave me the fire monker pansear to help my oshowatts weakness to grass.i named him flaming poo because he poops fire. after I obtained fire poo I challenge the gym leader Cilan were I almost lost flaming poo to a pansage but I was able to beat him and get the Trio badge and that's all that happened so far ill make sure to keep this updated.
Team
Oshowatt
Lillipup
pansear
purloine
I am playing this game on the ds so it will take some time
