Animelocke
on the first time that i ever heard of this Challenge, i was really curious on how it worked, on most variations of this challenge it had some cool ideas, but i personally find it feel incomplete on the Difficulty side or just a little too vague, so because of that after around 2 weeks of experiments and thoughts, i created this new version of a Animelocke, if you wish so, you can even call this the "Pokemon Animelocke 2.0" or "The Pokemon Journey Challenge"
This is a challenge made on purpose to you create YOUR own Definitive Pokemon journey to become a pokemon master, he expects to you travel in all regions(or at least the first 5 generations) getting a lot of Gym Badges, or if you want to complete the national pokedex if thats your vision of a pokemon master.
It is recomended to do this challenge on the Fan game "Pokemon Fire ash" since it has all regions up to Alola to explore, but it is fine if you decide to play the official games instead.
The challenge can be considered done after completing at least one of this objectives:
1) Completing the Pokedex of at least 5 different Regions.
2) Getting at least 40 Gym badges in total.
3) Getting Gold Rank on every single Battle frontier facility.
Before going into the rules, i want to clarify that this challenge is NOT meant to be used on Hardcore Rom hacks like Emerald Kaizo, it is meant to try giving a refreshing pokemon experience on standards difficulty pokemon games.
but for the ones that still wants to have a good challenge, i will put some optional rules for the challenge as well.
Main Rules
1) You can only catch Pokemons with normal Pokeballs, The only Exceptions are Legendaries and mythicals.
2) You can only use in battle pokemons that arrived on the current region you exploring, so lets say you are in kanto right now and suddenly catch a torchic somehow, you would not be allowed to use him right now, you would have to wait until you get to Hoenn. The exceptions for this rule are Shiny Pokemon.
3) No Healing itens allowed, as well you must battle on Set Mode.
4) you can teach only One TM per pokemon.
5) At the start of each region you can choose to put every single pokemon of the previous region on the box, or having only one of them in the party, the others that you decided to not use in this region will only be allowed to be used in the Pokemon leagues and Battle Frontier from now on. the only exceptions for this rule are pokemons that on this new region received a new evolution, Lets use an example that you used a Electabuzz in kanto, when you arrive at sinnoh, you will be allowed to bring him in the team ignoring this rule, but choose carefully since its only one pokemon per region that can ignore this Rule.
6)Evolution: Your pokemon need to Level-up during a Rival, Gym or Team Admin/Boss battle, but its not that simple, you will also to roll a dice, here it is the result for each number of the dice:
1: The evolution will fail, and also will be temporarily banned until the same pokemon level up 7 times, after you complete this
condition, the pokemon will be able to try evolving once again on the next important battle.
2 or 3: The evolution Fail. better luck next time.
4 or 5: The evolution is a sucess!
6: The evolution is a massive sucess! besides your pokemon got stronger, you will also be allowed to teach him a Extra TM!
7) Evolutions that are not based around Level up:
(all of them will be able to learn a extra TM if you get a 6 on the dice)
Friendship: Roll a dice, if it is a 3 or above, the evolution is a sucess.
Item(including the trading evolutions): If you got the item on the ground or something similar, you will be able to evolve the pokemon anytime you wish without rolling the dice, however if you needed to bought the item you will need to give 5 more levels to that pokemon before being able to use it. a 3 or above will make the evolution a sucess.
Trading(Without itens): You will be able to evolve them anytime after they get to Level 40. Roll the dice for a 4 or above to be a sucess(use the universal randomizer app to remove the trade evolutions).
Others: This one will not have any kind of rule since are very unique Evolution methods, for this same reason it is not necessary to roll a dice.
8) You are only allowed to use in the battle the same amount of pokemons that the Gym Leader has, Using Brock as an example, he only has 2 Pokemons so you will also using only 2 pokemons.
9) You are not allowed to use any Legendary in battles unless its a mandatory thing on the story.
Optional Rules:
1) Standard Nuzlocke Rules.
2) On the beginning of the region you only be allowed to use in battle up to 3 pokemons, you need to fulfill this conditions to be allowed to use more pokemons:
4th pokemon: 2 badges of the current region.
5th pokemon: 4 badges of the current region.
6th pokemon: 6 badges of the current region.
3) You can't run from wild pokemon battles.
4)Any usage of TMs are 100% Banned, only Mandatory HMs are allowed, which means even useful HMs Like Fly or Flash will still be
banned since you can beat the game(s) without having them.
5) Besides Important battles, you would also be only allowed to use the same amount of pokemons as the opponent on every single
trainer battle of the game(s).
