Mankey see, mankey do!


Pokemon challenge:
MANKEY SEE, MANKEY DO!
Concept:
In this challenge your goal is to beat the game with a team based on Pokemon you have encountered in trainer battles. There are two types of challenges. The first type is where you can only use Pokemon you have seen being used by a trainer and thus, everyone will almost start with the same team, but will end the challenge with different Pokemon. The second type is that you are not allowed to use Pokemon you have seen being used (you defeated the trainer and you realized that the Pokemon the trainer was using wasn't worthy joining your team). This would limit the amount of Pokemon you could get and also it would make you plan your route (so you would not encounter Pokemon you want to use).

Rules:
1.All PokeCommunity rules apply.
2.Trading/Hacking Pokemon or eggs isn't allowed because you could hack in a pokemon which is not used in the game and therefore you could use it through the whole game.
3.You can only trade for the purpose of evolution.
4.Emulators are allowed.
5.HM slaves are allowed.
6.Legendary Pokemon are not allowed.
7.This challenge is for and of the main series RPG games (RBYG/GSC/RSE/FRLG/DPPt/HGSS/BW).
8.Your goal is to:

*RBGY/FRLG: Defeat the E4
*GSC/HGSS: Defeat Red
*
RS: Defeat E4
*
E: Defeat Steven
*
DPPt: Defeat E4
*
BW: Defeat Alder

9.Please update! We want to hear about your adventure.
10.HAVE FUN!!!

Normal mode:
In normal mode you can only use Pokemon you have seen being used. In that case, if you have seen a trainer using Pidgey, you can use it as long as it remains a Pidgey. You can only evolve it if you've seen another trainer using Pidgeotto.

Reverse mode:
In reverse mode you can use any Pokemon in the game you haven't seen being used. For ex. in Pokemon Fire Red, from the point on when you defeated Brock, you can't use Geodude, Sandshrew nor Onix and thus you can't use their evolutions. You have to watch your step!

Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?!??!?! No challengers yet? I'm definetely changing that.

Username:
tente2
Game: Crystal
Mode: I'm far too much of a wimp for reverse. But maybe after this Normal Mode, I could try reverse?

I saw this on the "Syd is lazy ):<" board and I was about to PM you about making it when I saw this. I'm just a little confused as to why it's not getting any attention. :/

...Also, shouldn't it be "Mankey see, Mankey do" like Myrrhman said?

Anyway, if I complete this challenge, it would be the very first challenge I ever complete. *crosses fingers* I always never complete the other ones I sign up for...*sigh*

Question, can we use are starters? Since I don't believe we ever see another trainer use them, but since they're given to us...
Aww, I'm totally blind. I didn't see that post, ah well. You're signed up and about the question, you can't use your starter, sry, rules are rules, albeit in some games there are trainers that use starters. Anyway, good luck and have fun :)!

That's fine then, it wouldn't really be challenging otherwise. It'll be interesting to use Rattata for the first part of the game! XD

And I will! Thanks!

I'm going to go ahead and sign up for a normal challenge on Blue. I won't be getting to it for a while (challenges are backed up right now) but I'll hurry to it as fast as i can.

Name: Myrrhman
Game: Blue
Mode: Normal

Quick question. For the reverse mode, how does the Elite Four work? Can I use a Machamp just through Bruno, or can I use it for the whole challenge?

First update, here we come!

Question. Saying hypothetically we encounter the 3rd stage final evolution of a 1st stage pokemon we have, but we've never seen the direct, 2nd stage evolution. What happens then? Can we evolve or not?​

My game update is coming soon :).
@myrrhman I forgot to ask the community about the same problem. What do you guys think? I personally wouldn't allow the usage of Machamp after you defeated Bruno. After all, you've got to follow rules.
@tente2 I would allow that, yes. I think it's fair enough to use the 3rd evolution pokemon if you didn't see 2nd evolution of that line, but with the thesis that you have to evolve it as soon as possible.

heLLkitsune - you realise Bellsprout is only 2x weak to Fire, right? Fire is super-effective against Grass but not Poison.

Otherwise, love the challenge and love the updates. May seriously consider doing this challenge in the future when I have less on my plate.

You mean me, right? I believe heLLkitsune hasn't even talked about Bellsprout :P

And I did not know that! It's still good to have a 4x resister to fire though.

Nope. Wooper's Water/Ground. Ground takes normal damage from Fire attacks. I think you're thinking of Rock.

Username: KoboraX (I perfer Blissy)

Mode: Reverse Mode (I'm constructing a team that won't be ripped apart due to the standards of Reverse Mode)

Since Reverse Mode is an ultimate nightmare, I'm gonna start now.

My Starter:

Blissy's Torture White Mankey Reverse Run
(also known as nuR esreveR yeknaM etihW erutroT s'yssliB)

Episode 1 - The Nightmare Begins

Ok...time for the curelest challenge I've ever done to begin. Now, I start off by starting stuff up and naming my character and all that stuff. Now, time for Episode 1-1, Nuvema Town.
Episode 1-1
Nuvema Town
Ok, starting off with the box. Time to get my Tepig. Bianca is slow.

*30 seconds later*

Yay, I got Tepig! Naturally, Bianca picks Snivy and Cheren is stuck with Oshawott. He was gonna pick it anyway. Now, battle time! Right off the bat, Snivy is off the list. Tackle about 69 times (not really), and Bianca gets owned. Cheren heals my Tepig with his wizerd powers, then it's time to face off with Cheren. Later on, Cheren is going to drive me insane with rage, but not yet. Now Oshawott is gone. Sad face. Awesome level up from owning Oshawott. Awesome. Almost lost due to a critical first attack. After telling mom about Bianca decimating my room, I get my party healed again, and it's off to Professer Juniper's lab. First, I pay Bianca a visit at her house. First impression of her father, "umad bro?"

After seeing the umad father of Bianca, it's really time to go see Professer Juniper. Time to nickname my Tepig Blaze the Second, or Blaze II, as a refrence to my Blaziken in Ruby named Blaze. After that, I get a Pokedex. Awesome. Upon going outside, mom gives me the Town Map, a useful item. Now, time to go to Route 1. Now, luckily for me, there are no trainers. A tutorial on catching pokemon, 5 Poke Balls, and some grinding. Accumula Town is up ahead, where a new encounter awaits me.
Episode 1-2
N, the one guy who is really gonna ruin my run of Reverse Mode...
Ah, Accumula Town. A bit more tutorial, then it's time to face off with the one guy who will drive me insane during this run. Time to meet Team Plasma and all of their "liberate the pokemon" crap. After that, there's...him! N. This guy's team changes with the encounter, which forses me to make my team completely different. I think he hit his head as a baby. This battle, all he has is a Purrloin, which eliminates that off my list. I have to admit, N has some awesome battle music. Although, he was easily owned by Blaze II. Since three pokemon are eliminated, this part is done. Next time, it's the travel to Striaton City to challeng Cress.

hey man, you really need to put your updates in spoiler tags rather than quote tags, otherwise the post is REALLY long and stretches the page. Ober did that too, by the way, but he saw the light...

Is that better? ;)


And I think I know what my new team member will be... MUAHAHAHAHA *evil jazz hands*


*raises hand* Question, I'm not entirely sure how trading with emulators works yet (I *think* there are patchs out there that do that but I'm not sure if I would really want to go ahead and download something like that yet) so could we hack trade evolutions?

I think, for Pokemon that evolve with trading + an item, they could evolve by using the item on them (similarily to the evolution stones and such) but I don't really know how you could establish there being a way to "fairly" evolve Graveler, Haunter, Kadabra or Machoke :/

Finally somebody else posts here. I prepared this update like four days ago but nobody was posting and I didn't want to update my own post because that's losing a potential post for my post count.

EDIT: *Finally* uploaded the screenies.

Blissy's Torture White Mankey Reverse Run


(also known as nuR esreveR yeknaM etihW erutroT s'yssliB)



Episode 3.5 - This is pretty much a solo run at this point...
How far have I gone using just my starter? Pretty much this whole run so far. I really hope I get a new party member eventually. Sooner than I expect.
Episode 3.5-1
FINALLY! A new party member at last!
[SPOILER]Ok, time to go hunt down Team Plasma. Although, upon leaving, some guy comes over. He's Castelia City's Gym Leader. Right after that, Bianca and Cheren come over. Stalkers. Anyway, I get a Dowsing Machine, a very useful item for once. Anyway, useless talking, on to Pinwheel Forest, BUT, I need to go catch something for an in-game trade. Yup, you guessed it, a Petilil. Thing is, I had to fight off two Sewaddle in a double battle, then a Sandile off a Team Plasma guy before getting to a Petilil. After catching one, I dash back to Nacrene for a trade for a Cottonee.

*one trade later*

ghhfhfhghf! Prankster FTW! I'm gonna cut this short to grind Fluffee up to par with Blaze II.[/SPOILER]​
