5 Year Challengeversary!

5 years ago, Pokemon General Gaming was flooded with challenge threads. Threads which didn't really belong there, threads that encourages playing as opposed to discussion. Threads that stretched Pokemon as we know it into new forms and shapes. 5 years ago, those threads were gathered up, and moved into a new home. A home that we have all come to know and love as the Challenges Forum. It may not be the most popular forum, but it's ours. And so, I present to you, a retrospective in the form of a Challenge, built on the pieces of Challenges before it. The Anniversary Challenge, or


Da Rules:
1. This challenge is to be played on a main series Pokemon game. If you think you can play the challenge on one of the Gamecube RPGs, those are acceptable as well.
2. No hacking or trading, except where otherwise stated. You may trade for Pokemon that would be otherwise unobtainable in your game, however.
3. You must start the game of your choice from the beginning.
4. In order to complete the challenge, you must complete the Challenge Scavenger Hunt, a series of mini challenges. This can be done post game or during the story.
5. This challenge will end on July 7th, 2015 at Midnight US Pacific time.
